COLE AND JOHNSON.

In presenting these well known come dians and composers of negro melodies, Cole and Johnson, who will be seen at the New Haven theater on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, Feb ruary 4, 5 and 6, and at the matinee Wednesday, an entirely new filed has .opened to the colored performers. In this their latest offering, "The Shoo- Fly Regiment" Cole and Johnson have boldly entered the arena of legitimate musical farce comedy, and exhibit the inside workings of colored military company. The opportunities for fun making are unlimite1, and have been taken full advantage of. Cole will be seen in a built up edition of his fam ous tramp creation, and Johnson will be a dandy young officer of the regi- ment. Tom Brown will have con- genial part and Sam Lucas, Bob Kelly and Andrew Tribble are well cast.
 Foremost in the female contingent Is Siren Navarro, the greatest ballet dane CT of her race, and the only Afro-Am- erican toe dancer in the world; Anna Cook, Inez Clough, Mollie Dill, Eliza beth Williams, etc, with a chorus of forty, which is one of the greatest fea-

A BRAINY CHILD
Wise Mother Proves the Value of Grape-
 Nuts in Rearing Children.

There is no surer test of real know ledge than the personal test; observa- ton with our own eyes and other senses.
 Having been raised to believe one could not exist without meat, hot bis cult and coffee for breakfast 1 was skeptical at first about the value of Grape-Nuts,
 But our little girl as well as myself had indigestion all the time and could not understand why.
 About five years ago, attracted by the advertisements concerning Grape Nuts, I decided to try some to see whether it would afford nourishment like meat, etc. I was worried about our little girl.
 'Tn a short time after changing from heavy food at breakfast and supper to Grape-Nuts, she had no more headache, put on flesh and now, after five years of this way of living. at the age of ten she is 1 feet high, weighs S1 lbs, is in the 9th grade and in every way is a fine brainy child.
 Our boy 5 years old, has been raised on Grape-Nuts, eats it for two meals each day, is very large for his age and fine looking" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

erHE GIRL FRoM vIENNA."

THE GIRL FROM VIENNA
 Louis Mann has some exceptional op- portunities for quaint character delin- cation in the new musical comedy "The Girl from Vienna" by Roderic C., Penield, in which he is to appear at the Hyperion theater next Wednesday and Thursday.
 MT Mann says that he has never had a character to portray which so strong ly appealed to his imagination and sense of humor. The fact that 1t is his first appearance in a play with mu- sic in eight years is indicative of his interest in the part. He has a notable cast to support him including Louise Cunning, Lotta Faust, Carrie Perkins, Anthony Ascher and William Carroll. The music has been written by Gus tave Kerker and the play staged by Julien Mitchell and Mr Mann.

 As for religion, 1t Is hard for the working girl to take any stock in 1t when she sees the wickedness and GOV, etousness of those who are supposedx to be in the higher class She may re- spect the teachings of justice as Christ laid them down, and as her mother taught her, but she can take no stock in the false religion called Christianity. One of the worst habits of the poor working girl is her habit of initiating the people of a higher social class m the matter of dress. She often spends much money in this manner that ss needed in the family for other pur- | poses.
 The poor hate to accept charity, but when once family gets in the habit of accepting it they lose all their self respect and their shame, and they ac- cept it as a matter of course. when they can afford to talk ecare of thern- selves. What they really want is 1us- tice and not charity

 Considerable effort has been made to achieve notable reproduction of the fashions of ante-bellum days in the costuming of the play. The costumes worn by the women of the play, and the uniforms and civilian attire of the men, designed by the noted artist, Frederick Remington, are in perfect keeping with the period of the play, and absolutely historically correct.

The Latest Panacea..

We Americans have genius for the
invention Of cure-alls, and for faith
in them after they are invented. Some
one has now contrived-on paper
the Order of Nebuchadnezzarites. The
method of the order is not to be, as
one might expect, diet Of grass, but
change from the upright position to
one on all fours. Members of the So
ciety must agree, to eat drink, walk
and run on their hands and knees
They are assured by the founder of
the order that they will speedily ban
ish all the ills to which human flesh
is heir. Witness the vigorous health
enjoyed by the dog, the OK, the horse
and the necessary pig-their freedom
from dyspepsia, neuritis, rheumatism
and consumption. Whether they be
immune to measles, chicken-pox and
mumps has not yet been announced.
1t Is not disclosed whether this order
is the product of the lively imagina-
tion of a newspaper reporter or se-
rious scheme of sincere reformer
who Is unable to master more than
one idea. The very doubt on this
point results from the fact that even
such a society might find adherents.
An oriental legend relates that when
woman first discovered man he was
living on all fours. She coaxed him
to his feet, and induced him to walk
upright. Can 1t be that the twentieth
century will undo the work of the
primitive woman? Surely, remarks
Youths Companion, the adherents Of
the new cult must all be men; for
fashion has made no provision for
women's clothes in the new attitude.
"Creepers" designed for the purpose
cannot yet be obtained, and the mush-
room hats would not adapt them
selves to poise on the back of the
neck. Thus fashion may be stronger
than fad, and weary man may be
forced to stand up again to get with
in speaking distance of woman.
