'IT HAPPENED IN NORDLAND."
 THE STQRX OF TLLE IlI "

TIT HAPPENED IN NORDLAND, ["
 THE STORY OF THE PLAY.
 In addition to Victor Herbert's superb musical settingand the sumptuous mag nifcence of the scenic and costume in- vesttture in which Tt Happened in Nordland" abounds, the author of the book and libretto, MT. Glen MacDon- pugh, has interwoven @ tangible story
 From a stage conversation it is learn ed that Queen Elsa is eloping, that her flight has been discovered, and that the prime minister decides to conceal : the facts in the case, and to delay the public reception of Prince George until ! her majesty has been found and induc- ed to return Act I. shows the prom enade in the royal city, and has to do with the perplexity of Prince George, whom the ezar has commanded to mar ny the queen, at realizing that he is mot wanted, the consternation of the officials, and ultimately the arrival of Katherine Peepfogel, the American ambassadors to the court of Nordland.
 Katherine so closely resembles the ab- sent Queen Elsa that she is mistaken for her majesty and finally is induced by Baron Toxen to impersonate the ruler for a few hours. Katherne's brother, Hubert, has been kidnapped when child, and now makes his ap- pearance in Nordland in the company of quack dermatologist. Katherine and Hubert meet, and in a scene of excellent burlesque recognize each other. Hubert gets into no end of trou- 'ble with the army and everyone else, but is saved from the consequence by yi hie sister, while acting as the queen. And when disaster threatens Nord- land this also is averted through Katherine's presence, and the merry whimsical tale ends with the real queen returning and everybody generally re- 1oicing.
 Tt Happened in Nordland' will be presented at the Hyperion on Monday, September "A, matinee and night, by the celebrated Lew Fields Theater com pany, with the entire New York pro- duction complete in every particular, just as presented for over a year and half at the Lew Fields theater Ju- Han Mitchell who will have personal direction of the presentation here, was the producer and originator of the most successful of musical extravaganzas of modern Times 'The Wizard of o." and Babes in Toyland," and ''Nord- land" beats them both.

made famous by the late Ira D. San- key, and in addition to having enjoyed a run of several months in New York has two road seasons to its credit. It is very strong scenically and, with the original metropolitan cast should make an acceptable offering for the patrons of the New Haven theater. The story. while not a new one to stagedom. has been treated so cleverly by the author
 Ramsay Morris, that it has developed into a stage offering of more than usual merit. Tom Singleton, falsely-accus- ed man, in the moment of his inability to establish his innocence, turns to drink and, sinking lower and lower i'll the moral scale, he is arrested in his downward flight by the hand of a wom- an, woman touched by the most beau- tiful of all human motives-love-and answers the call nobly, at the crucial moment, when the villain of the play
 though his private car and engine stand ready to move, refuses to allow his driver to run to the succor of a village of few hundred souls, who are caught by a raging prairie fire and cut off from all hopes of rescue. Thrusting aside the owner and his tools, the hero leaps upon the engine, and, throwing wide open the throttle, commences his mad dash through a sea of fire.

After they had played week in Buffalo, Shelby sent them to Rochester, where they played an engagement in a variety theater which was also under his control. He then gave them let ter to his friend, Tony Pastor, in New York, who also gave them @ chance

FIGHT WITH A BABooN.
Desperate Struggle With the Animal
 on shlpboard.

Desperate Struggle With the Animal
 on shipboard.
 An exciting story of a baboon's es- cape from its cage on the Union-Cas- tie liner Comrie Castle was told when the vessel reached Plymouth yesterday on the way to London, with a large collection of wild animals on board, i'm cludingf five wolves and eight zebras, the property of Herr Windhorn
 Herr Windhorn, who for thirty years has collected wild animals, which he sells to dealers and geological gardens. said the baboon stood four feet six inches in height and was very wild. About a week after leaving Cape Town it broke out of it's cage, but fortunately the escape was discovered before the animal reached the deck. For two days, however, it was at liberty In the hold, showing fight whenever 1t was approached
 lAn effort to snare the balloon by the cargo nets was found impracticable on account of the fifteen-foot leaps which the animal made whenever it was ap- preached, At length Herr Windhornl lventlired into the hold with his keeper, iand endeavored to secure the baboon the keeper offering it food while the owner tried to come to close quarters Herr Windhorn's foot caught in a net and he slipped, whereupon the baboon at once made a furious onslaught on him, fastening his teeth in the collec- tors leg It was impossible to shake off the powerful beast. In his effort ito release himself Herr Windhorn tried, to | force open the jaws of the baboon with his hands He was in measure suc- cessful but the baboon quickly fast ened his fangs in Herr Windhorns right hand, which was injured even more extensively than the leg The keeper, who hurried to his masters aid, quickly became the subject of at- tack, the baboon infiicting several bites on him, while the boatswain of the liner was also bitten.
 The beast afterward refused to be overcome by half a bottle of whiskey, and dose of opium powerful enough to poison ten men was also given him in bottle of lemonade without effect. Eventually a large grating was fixed outside the companion way, and then, by means of a display of fruit the brute was coaxed near it, and as he stretched an arm through the grating to grasp an orange he was secured Legs and arms were at length tightly lashed, after which the baboon, att tached to the grating, was returned to his cage and then released, He died four days later, and Herr Windhorn says he thinks death was due to a broken heart.-London Tribune

NesT Haven Theater.

There was another crowded house at the New Haven theater last night to see Jessie Mae Hall in her latest sue cess, "A Southern Vendetta" The di- minutive actress has 8 vehicle we'll suited for her, and her role gives her an excellent opportunity to display her juvenile comedy and songs. She has a good voice and sang several pretty songs, which were appIauded vigorous ly. The story is based upon one of the famous Kentucky feuds. Unlike most of them, this one is amicably settled Cupid stepping in and arbitrating the affair.
 The performance will be repeated to- day, matinee and night, and big busi- ness is assured.

WHY MANY WOMEN SUFFER
FROM CONSTIPATION.
The Natural Remedy.

The delicate and intricate character
of the female organs make them most
susceptible to irregularity, and for the
same reason it is most important that
each one should be kept in condition
to perform its functions in a normal
manner. AT all of the special PERIODS
when womankind is performing the
functions peculiar to her sex there is a
decided tendency to sluggishness of
the bowels. Nature then requires a
gentle assistant. Not powerful and ex-
pensive drugs, that must be taken at
frequent intervals and are so drastic
as to damage the tender lining of the
stomach and bowels and do more harm
than good, but pure and harmless
laxative such as is the famous Natural
Mineral Water-HUNYADI JANOS-
one dose of which will move the bow
els gently but copiously in a natural
manner. The dose is Il a tumberful
drunk on arising in the morning
(slightly warmed for best results).
One bottle contains many doses and
costs but a trifle at all druggists.

STRENGTH-CREAT0R.
VnoI Guaranteed by Physicians and
Over Two Thousand Leading Drug
gists as the Best Strength Gre
alter Known to Medicine.

This is because Vinol is the latest
scientific production of the greatest
tonic rebuilder the world has ever
known, namely, cod liver oil.
In Vinol the system-clogging, nause-
ating oil is eliminated, and the medi-
cinal, curative elements known to eX-
list in the Gods liver are administered
in a highly concentrated form, there
fore, a preparation containing all these
medicinal, curative and bodybuilding
elements, free from OIL or grease, must
be the best strength-creator possible to
produce.
In Vinol you know what you are
taking, for everything it contains is
tie.
This is why Vinol is so unqualifiedly
recommended by physicians and guar
anteed by over two thousand of the
leading druggists of the United States
as body-builder and strength-creator
for old people. weak women, puny chill
dren, after sickness and for all pull
monary diseases. The doctor knows
what he is giving and the patient
knows what he is taking.
Our leading druggist, H. o. Rolls,
says: I'VE sell Vinol on a positive
guarantee that it is and will do all we
claim for it or refund money without
question
