HYPERION THEATER.

Thomas w. Ross ("Checkers'D will bring his latest vehicle "The Other 'Girl,' to the Hyperion theater tonight and tomorrow night. ''The Other Girl" which is by Augustus Thomas" author of Arizona" Alabama" ;" "The Earl of Pawtucket," etc, is said to be the best comedy MT. Thomas has yet written. It deals with New York life and its characters include some society leaders, a preacher, a wealth Wall street operator, a newspaper reporter, and famous prize fighter. The com plications are many, the situations ex- tremely odd, the slang of the pugilist up-to- date and the dialogue sparkling. The play enjoyed a run of six months at the Empire theater, New York. The ,Messrs. Shubert, who are handling the destinies of MT. Ross, have supplied the actor with a cast of players which is supreme. The company includes in ad- dition to MT. Ross, Fully Marshall, William Redmund, William H. Tooker
 Russ Whytel Martin c. Brown, Frank Roberts, Ivy Houtman, Dallas Tyler Ida Lewis, Ethel Brandon, Edna Irvine, and others.

mrhe Two orphans.o

'The Two Orphans" is essentially a drama of deeds, and not one of words. Many of it's strongest scenes could be played in pantomime, so little do they derend on the lines that the actors read; in this regard they are like some of the best scenes in shakesperean dramas.
 Like all really great dramas, includ- ling Hamlet and Julius Caesar" it appeals to the emotions that are com .mon to all humanity, and not to that small and deliciously naive class that Imodestly styles itself the intellectually superior one.
 "The Two Orphans" is a dramatic gem thtat sparkles against all environ ments; it touches all hearts, and the sacrifcial love of one sister for the oth- CT gives all a homily that will last.
 To tell about the Two Orphans would be but reciting an old story, it has been told over and over again, and even in nursery the good governess will reach the little hearts with recital of the sisters.
 The two orphans come to the Hyper ion Wednesday,.

FIT THE GROCER
Wife Made the Suggestion.

A grocer has excellent opportunity to know the effects of special foods on his custmers. A Cleveland grocer has a long list of customers that have been helped in health by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee.
 He says, regarding his own experi- ence: 1.-Two years ago I had been drinking coffee and must say that I was almost wrecked in my nerves.
 Particularly in the morning I was so irritable and upset that I could hardly wait until the coffee was served, and then I had no appetite for breakfast and did not feel like attending to my store duties.
 ''One day my wife suggested that in asmuch as I was selling so much Pos tum there must be some merit in it and suggested that we try it. I took home a package and she prepared it according to directions. The result was a very happy one. My nervousness gradually disappeared and to-day I am all right. l would advise everyone affected in any way with nervousness or stomach troubles. to leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee" There s a Reason" Read "The Road to We'll vile, in Esgs,

audience in roars of laughter by her angry antics. Each night Maud is persuaded that she has conquered the rider because he dismounts at the end of the arena and when her time comes to be saddled she is as frisky as ever.
 Belknap, the wonderful cowboy, who rides the big, bucking gray horses, scored a great hit last night. First he threw the big animal and then mounted the horse while it was lying on the ground. Then followed a cry of terror from the audience, as the horse leaped high in the air and fell on it's side. But Belknap was too quick and he withdrew his leg, saving the limb from being broken Then away he dashed on the bucking bronco.
 The Wild West has been deemed of such great educational value as to merit all the schools being closed in Bridgeport to-day, when Colonel Cody will appear there with his congress of rough riders of the world.

CONNECTICUT INSANITY

By courtesy of the Massachusetts board of insanity the Springfield Re- publican has been able to print in ad- vance of the yearly report, some very interesting statistics regarding insan- ity. The reference made to conditions in Connecticut is interesting and fol- lows:
 Connecticut, with population now estimated at million, presents a pe- culiar situation. In consequence of the strict oversight of private asylums in New York and Massachusetts, this in- termediate state has become good ground for such asylums, and there are Il 'saniltaria" in Connecticut be- sides the endowed and ancient retreat at Hartford. At latest dates these private establishments contained 491 insane or mental cases; of whom more than half were from other States chiefly from New York. The whole number of reported insane in Connec- ticut not being quite 3,40O under super vision, and the annual admissions about 300, the whole number of insane in the State at a given time may be estimated at S,S00 This is one in ey- cry 26S of the population but the number residing here from other States would probably reduce this proportion to one in 2S0, while the New York pro- portion shuld be slightly increased. In New Hampshire the apparent propor- tion of insane to population is much less, not more than enc in $40. The recovery rate in the two States is not much if at all, greater than in Massachusetts; in Connecticut 131 re- coveries uon SIP admissions, and to- tai population of 3,S96-a percentage of not quite 20 and not quite 4, respec- lively. In New Hampshire, out of l. 068 different persons under treatment at Concord in two years, 11S recovered, but only 62 recovered from the first at tack of insanity, while 3S had recover ed before, and 19 simply recovered from alcoholism. The admissions in these two years were little under 5OO and deducting the 19 liquor recoveries, the percentage of. recoveries to admis- sions was about 20. But at the end of the second year of the 66S patients re- maining, only 72 were reckoned curable by pr. Bancroft the expert superin- tendent-not Il per cent. of the whole

been added for the road, and out in the open, the horses and Indians per form with more zeal.s
 The audience was so enraptured with the appearance of Colonel Cody last night that cheers rang out time and again, And the audience was not con tendent until the long, white-haired hero of many battles apeared before them four or five times. Even then the air was rent with shrill demands for a speech, but Buffalo Bill was forced to allow the exhibition to pro- ceed. Despite the fact that Monday was the first time the new horses have ever appeared in the open air exhibi- tion everything went we'll and at each performance the acts have become more and more perfected.
 The bucking broncos are not only the cause of much excitement, but also of considerable lnirth. Mind the ob- streperous mule that allows no rider to mount her back, keeps the immense

FILIPINO MIDGETs.
Manager speck Loses No Time in se-
 curing Novelty-spccks From the Orient.

Manager Speck has lost no time in se- curing something extremely novel for
 one cf the smaller opening features of
 the White City next Saturday. This time he has gone to the distant Isle of
 Panay in the Philippine group in the Orient for something new and has got it in the shape of the two smallest living adults in the world.
 These little people are a brothe rand
 sister, two children of family of five.
 Born in the village of Tanlagan, prov ince of Papiz, Island of Panay, P, I, and the little lady is Miss Martina De
 La Cruz, the second child born in that family, thirty-four years old, 27 inches tall Her brother, Juan, is 32 years old,
 and 29 inches tall. They have every joint. muscle and bone in their body,
 the same as any normal person. The midgets are very bright and intelligent, talking three dialects of the Filipino language, namely, Tagalog, Visaya,
 Pampamga, and a little Spanish and English.
 Their parents were average sized Fil- ipinos. as well as the remaining chill dren in the family. The midget mans
 wife is an average sized Filipino wom-
 an, twenty-one years old, They had a very pretty baby Maria, three years old, which was of normal size. The baby died in Daytona, Fla, March 15,
 1907. These midgets are the smallest in stature that we know of in the world.
 They dance and perform. and it is re- markable the way they move around. The Fili9ino midgets were first ex- hibited in this country under the direc-
 ton of the war department in the
 Philippine reservation at the St. Louis worlds fair, and were awarded cartia- \ cates and medals of honor by the Phil l ippine government.
 Leon Dison, a native Filipino boy, is
 fine piano player. He is travelling with the mid=ets.

BUFFALO BILLS
Wild West Show Is Greater Than Ever
 This Year.

Concerning the Buffalo Bill Wild West show, which comes here to-mor- row, the Brooklyn Eagle of May 16 says:
 Last night at S:15, it was Impossible to gain admittance to the Buffalo Bills Wild West show, unles ticket had been purchased in advance. The ticket offices in the big wagons were all closed at that hour, every ticket having been sold. Even the specula- tors had been sold out, and were leav- ing, while more than 11,0OO people had been crowded into the big arena. The crowd outside clamoring for admit tance was as large as that inside,
 Brooklyn is no longer a one-week town. It has now passed from that distinction, and will hereafter enjoy a two weeks visit of both the circus and the Wild West show. Buffalo Bill is responsible for this assertion.
