CLEAR HEADED
Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable

The chief bookkeeper in a large bus mess house in one of our great Wes- tern cities speaks of the harm coffee did for him:
 My wife and I drank our first cup of Postum Coffee a little over two years ago, and we have used It ever since to the entire exclusion of tea and the old kind of coffee. It happened in this way:
 About three and half years ago I had an attack of pneumonia, which left a memento in the shape of dyspepsia, or rather, to speak more correctly, neu- ralgia of the stomach My cup of cheer had always been coffee or tea, but I became convinced after a time, that they aggravated my stomach trou- ble. 1 happened to mention the matter to my grocer one day and he suggested that I give Postum Food Coffee a trial
 Next day it came, but the cook made the mistake of not boiling it suf- fciently, and we did not like it much. This was however, soon remedied, and now we like it so much that we will never change back. Postum, being a food beverage instead of a drug, has been the means of curing my stomach trouble, I verify believe, for I am a well man to-day and have used no other remedy
 My work as chief bookkeeper in our Co.'S branch house here is of a very confining nature. During my coffee drinking days I was subject to nervous ness and the blues in addition to my sick spells. These have left me since l began using Postum Food Coffee, and I can conscientiously recommend it to those whose work confines them to long hours of severe mental eXertion 'Theres a Reason" Name given by Postum O., Battle Creek.

ERTAINMENTENTS
Hyperion Theater.

The engagement of 1.-The Primrose Path" which is brought to close with to-night's performance has been very remarkable one in several respects.
 In the first place the author was un- known both personally and as play wright.
 In the second place-nothing was giv- en out in advance about the play or its plot and thirdly, the star Miss Wych- erly was practically an unknown quan- tity at least locally. Taking these facts into consideration one must concede that the success of the performance is entirely due to the absolute merit of both piece and star. Miss Wycherly' $ work is marked by a strength that stamps her at once as one of the great actresses of the day. The lights and shades of the character are beautifully brought out, her face, singularly mo- bile, shows great depth of feeling while her voice has rich sympathetic quail ty that is peculiarly fascinating.

Warning Issued Regarding the Ship
 ment of Machines
 Traffic Manager Marvin of the Asso- citation of Licensed Automobile Manu- facturers has just issued a warning to the members of the association regard ing the shipment of automobiles, Every industry has felt the growing need of freight facilities, but none greater than the automobile trade.

UNUSUAL APRIL SNOW.
NOT SINCE APRIL 1898 HAS so
 MUCH SNOW FALLEN

Weather Disturbances Were Expected
 but by No Means Blizzard-ChapeI
 Street Trolley Tied Up-University
 Athletics Receive Setback--Coider
 Weather for Few Days.
 With the sudden return of February weather yesterday and strange confus- ion of green grass, tulip buds and whirling snowfiakes, it is up tossome- body to say something about winter lingering in the lap of spring and point out the very unusual nature of what has happened. Although April snows are by no means exceptional In New Eng land yesterdays temperature below the freezing point and the depth of the snow together force one back to April, 1893, for a parallel case. At noon a regular blizzard was raging. Around the campus where one week ago several seniors were parading straw hats, stu dents and townspeople hurried along wrapped in heavy coats and picking out their way with difficulty before the driving storm. By o'clock almost two inches hal fallen. It was by nature disagreeable snow, too. Just wetenough to stick to garments and still remain snow and not rain.
 The coming of the storm was a sur prise to the local weather bureau. The gentleman who does the weather proph- esying knew that something was bound to happen, but who would have thought April capable of that blizzard of yes terday?
 The affairs of men were pretty gener- ally disturbed The Chapel street troll ley lines were tied up for an hour. In the harbor crafts of all Kinds sought a shelter. The university football and baseball men had planned for outdoor practice with an important baseball game scheduled for to-day The new tennis courts on Hillhouse avenue were to be opened with joyous cereminies. All these were off and the athletic dearth of winter prevailed everywhere.
 Colder weather is expected to follow | the snow storm for few days, and after that, spring in earnest.

New Haven Theater.

With Harry Emerson and Lillian Hoerlein as the co-stars, Gay New York won the audience at the New Haven theater last night. The show is a live one from start to finish, and the dialogue is good. Emerson essays the comedy role and has what a good many so-called comedians lack, and that is humor His part is that of a parsonage of Teutonic extraction, and his dialect is of the order that goes with the audience. Miss Hoerlein is good as the leading lady She is pret- ty and possesses voice that measures up her looks. Hir Nightingale song was encored. There is a sprightly and pretty chorus.
 The performance will be given again to-day, matinee and night

MILDRED HOLLAND.

Mildred Holland will make her ap- pearance at the New Haven theater on Friday night, April F. in her new emo tional drama, "A Paradise of Lies by Matthew Barry. In the creation of the part of Lolita in the romantic play of Italy, Miss Holland, in the judgment of the most conservative critics, ranks among the most capable and accom- plished artists of her day. Possessed of wonderful personal magnetism and ! thoroughly sehooled in the minute de-
 tails of stagecraft, she has acquired a finesse which makes her perform ances so delightful that stle has been ranked with Rejane, the wonderful French emotional actress, Her voice | is the acme of sweetness, and her elo- eutionary powers have been compared
 with those of the leading stars of the generation.
 In this as in almost every city which Miss Holland visits, her appearance is looked upon as leading theatrical event of the season, and her patronage Is only limited by the size of the the- ater.
 Miss Hollands manager, Edward C.. White, has given "A Paradise of Lies" a sumptuously beautiful production
 The prologue scene is one of the sen- sations of the stage year, both in point of scenic effects and the dramatic nov city it introduces. A marvelously beau- tiful lily pond is shown. Rescued from | its waters is babe whose thoughts have not yet pierced the mystery of things and whose form has only short | ly unfolded. In the following three acts, laid among the valleys, cities and palaces of Italy Miss Holland, as this
 castaway child grows to womanhood,
 tells a story of human interest that
 carries an audience from tears to
 laughter and lays bare the secrets of a | powerful woman-soul.

MRs.NELLIE MARKHAM

"A nervous irritable woman, oIGen on the verge of mysteries, is source of misery to everyone who comes under. her influence, and unhappy and mis- erable herself.
 Such, women not only drive hus- bands from home but are wholly unfit to govern children.
 The ills of women act like fire brand upon the nerves, consequently seven-tenths of the nervous prostra- tion, nervous despondency, h e "blues", sleeplessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some organic derangement.
 Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness alternating with ex- treme irritability ? Do you suffer from pains in the abdominal region, baclzache, bearing down pains,nervous dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost continually cross and snappy? If so, your nerves are in shattered con dition and you are threatened with nervous prostration.
 Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous troubles of women than Lydia E.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs. Thousands and thousands of women can testify to this fact.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
JUDGE MATTHEWSoN ON THE SUBJECT OF ILLEGAL SELLING.

Andrew Blocker Sentenced to State
 Prison--suits Against New Haven
 Gas Light-Estate of Walter Judson
 City Court Cases-Suits Against
 the Trolley Company.
 Tn flning Daniel J. Kavanaugh, whose Franklin street saloon was raided on Sunday. $50 and costs of $174O, and docking each of the nine drinkers caught at the bar $2 and costs of SLIT, Judge A. Mcclellan Mathewson took occasion in the police court yesterday to urge the organization, by all local saloonkeepers, of a protective associa- tion to put a ban on Sunday selling, such as has just been formed by the Italian saloonkeepers.
 ''The organization of such an associa- tion among the italian keepers is high ly pleasing as a step which should make illegal selling almost impossible" :" commented the judge. T think that it is as much in the interest of the rival saloonkeepers that none of them shall do business on Sunday as it is the in- terest of the city at large.
 "The proprietors sell on the Sabbath with the aim of drawing trade which will make their place popular. Hence 1t Is for the financial welfare of his rival saloonkeepers to prevent such a sale, and I think that if all the deal CTS will band together in an association to suppress this illegal business it will result in a dry Sabbath throughout the city"
