WThc Land of NOd."

It does not seem possible to overes- innate the high character of the pro- duction of the musical comedy, "The Land of Nod" which will be presented at the Hyperion, Friday and Saturday with Saturday matinee, April S-4.
 This brilliant spectacle has never been presented here but all who have witnessed 1t never cease to extol it's numerous distinctive charms and re- fer to it as one of the thoroughly en- joyable entertainments that have been presented in this country. It Is production which is generally regarded as the most beautiful, complete and all together satisfying that has been de- vised in the line of musical extrava-. ganza. The comedy Is delightfully."- original and there is plenty of it, and the music, of which there is an abund- ance. is of kind which fingers long in the memory by reason of its sweet melody and of its pingling, catchy nature. and its character creations are so altogether original that they cause something akin to astonishment. "The Man in the Moon." "The Welsh Rare bit" ''The Telephone Man" "The King and Queen of Hearts" The Jack of Hearts" "The weather Man." and the other unique personages have not hitherto been introduced into a stage work, and the author has given them material to work with which is at once reasonable and uproauously funny The beautiful transformation scenes from earth to the Land of Nod, with c visit to the latter from "The Man tn the Moon" is one of the most novel and beautiful of modern stage concep- tions. The performance of this work Is characterized by a company of comedians. singers. and dancers which is generally regarded as containing more gifted man and women than have ever been brought together upon the stage at one time. Among the princi nal names are Knox Wilson, Ursula March, William Friend, Grace Drew, William Phillips and Lucia Drew, and the work of these clever entertainers is aided by a chorus of sixty, of whom upwards of fifty are vivacious, graceful young women who sing and dance pleasfngly and who wear an astonish- ing array of beautiful costumes. From all points of view. the forthcoming presentation of the Land of Nod here must be regarded as one of the dis tinctly bright spots In the history of local theatricals. The sale of seats begins Wednesday.

Good Cough Medicine for Children.

The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can
not be used to protect the children.
A child is much more likely to con-
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when
he has a cold. The quicker you cure
his cold the less the risk. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the sole re-
lance of many mothers, and few of
those who have tried It are willing to
use any other. Mrs. f. F. Starcher,
of Ripley, w. Va, says: 81 have
never used anything other than Cham.

no opium or other narcotic and may
be given as confidently to a child as
to an adult. For sale by Hays &

TRUST CASE
TO CONE UP
Thomas D. TaylcriWhO Tried To
Steal S350,0O0 is Still in
Providence Jail.

Providence, R. l., Dec 18th,
case of William r. Durham agains
the New England Trust Company, {
petition for the appointment of a re
ceiver, is on the calendar of the supe
rior court for hearing tomorrow
Much interest has been manifested in
the hearing, as it was in connection
with this matter that Thomas d. Tay-
Tor, who was formerly identified with
the New England Trust Company. was
taken into custody on a charge of con-
spiracy brou?ht by John P. Beagan.
the receiver of the New England Trust
Company, and being unable to secure
pail in the amount of S35O,O00, has
been at the Providence county iail
since the first Of April.
Taylor, following his being taken
INTO custody, undertook. through ha-
oeas'corpus proceedings, to secure his
elcase. He had a hearing before The
ppieme court on April 80. He made
he contention that his Imprisonment
and detention wPs brought about BIZ
unlawfiiily enticing him within the
Jurisdiction of The Rhode Island
courts and then effecting his arrest
which, he alleges, was, therefore,
void and subsequent confinement H.
legal. He claimed too that Mr.. Bea-
gan, the receiver, was the one who
personally or through agents, enticed
him to this city by representation
that mere friendly conference as to
the banks affairs was wished, and
claimed further that such representa-
ton was false and that it was the sole
object of bringing about his arrest.
The supreme court after the hear
ing returned its findings, denying the
writ of habeas corpus and declaring
that the service of the writ upon Tay-
Tor was not procured by fraud of Mr..
Beagan or his agents.
At the hearing there was consid-
cradle testimony presented to show
that Taylor came to this city March
20 on invitation of certain menhrd
20 on the invitation of certain men
who had been connected with the New
Engladn Trust Company as directors
and who had given Taylor to under
stand that the receiver desired to dis
cuss some matters with him relative
} the banks affairs. There was alsp
testimony presented to show that Mr..
Beagan was not aware of this invita-
ton and knew nothing of Mr.. Tay-
l'r's being in this city March % until
a third party told him.

1t is, perhaps, not generally appre-
ciated that the canal has already cost
more than the amount of the bond is
sue authorized by Congress. Such
however, is the fact. The French fran
chise cost 100000. From this it is
plain that the drain on the treasury
has been heavy, since the bonds is
sued have, as already noted, amounted
to little more than S54,OO0,000.
When the next sale of Panama
bonds is made, these bonds will doubt.
less be taken mp by the banks and
used as basis for bank circulation
and also to replace state, city and rail-
road bonds that are now in the treas
ury as security for public moneys. 1t
will be the policy of Secretary Cortel-
you to encourage their use in that
fashion and to get rid of the state
municipal and railroad bonds entirely.
Something like $46,OOO,OOO of the non
government bonds are now held in
the treasury.

1t is also expected that President
Roosevelt will ask Congress at the
short session to authorize another is
sue of Panama bonds amounting to
$1O0,0O0,OOO 1t has become apparent
that the first issue authorized is not
going to be adequate to pay for the
canal.
Congress has already authorized an
issue of $13O,OOO,OOO, which were is
sued in August, 1906, and $24, 631 $50
in December, 1907. This leaves over
100000, which the treasury is au-
thorized to issue under the original
Panama canal bond act.
The treasury will not be able to is
sue $45,OOO,OOO more, narrow margin
when it is considered at what a rapid
rate canl construction is going for
ward, and consequently how heavy the
expenditures incurred. In this situa-
ton, Congress cannot well get away
from authorization of more canal
bonds.
