Meyer of 175 Falrhiwn ntroot, Cleveland, has cured a number ot hla friends of stomach troubles, dyspepsia, bowel complaints, etc., by urging tho uao ot Grape-NutA breakfast food. Uc M.1VS: "A buslnewi man, a friend of mine, was to run down that ho left his business sev eral months becauso ho could not eat enough to supply tho strength required to work 'After upending hundreds of dollatb In Jour neys to mineral springs for baths, In medi cines, ntendants, etc., without succcfs, I recommended Orape-Nuts food, and nt the end of thirty days ho told tno ho nover en- Joyed a better appetite, was never more en ergetlc or felt more like work than then. This chango camo around entirely by reason of IiIh leaving off the ordinary food and using principally Orape-Nuts at his meals Ho mild ho would not bo without the food at a dollar a pound. "A lady friend of my wife was suffering so with dyspepsia that she wns compelled to glvo up her work, as no food would stay on her stomach for five mlnutra. Tho doctors told her thero was no hopo for her over en Joying food of any kind. She started In nn Orape-Nuts and used nothing elso for about Ihreo months, whc ho was completely cured and roady to ntend to her busine.N. She takes Orape-Nuts with her every day. Sho laid to my wife: 'Had It not been for you Mia iirapo-.Mitd i wouut surely have died I shall nover forgot your kindness to me.' "In my own family wo havo used the food for about a year, constantly, and have all enjoyed bettor health since Its Introduc tion. It has dciie us more good than wo ever expected to get from a food." . Thero is a deep, underlying reason why Ornpo-Nuts food cures people of dyspepjW and builds them up Into a line condition of health and strength. Certain principles nro abstracted from the grains nnd made up Int tho food known as Orape-Nuts, producing a powerful, concentrated food that gives cer tain nd well defined results.

Miss Walsh nnd Mr. MncDowcll closed their engagement at Hoyd's theater Wednesday night with "La Tosea." a Sardoti play In which local lovers of the drama havo within a half score of years seen such famous stage people as Sarah Ilcrnhardt and Fanny Davenport. Thero wore, therefore, doubtless many In the audience who wero enabled to make comparisons between Miss Walsh nnd theso two great actrcfi-es. It Is not overestimat ing the ability ot Miss Walsh to say that. all things considered, her portrayal of tho high tempered. Jealous nnd loving Florin Tcsca would by no means suffer In compari son. Last season Miss Walsh was seen as Tosca during her engagement here and tho impression (ho made waa favorable. Slnco that time tho Improvement has been so great In her interpretation of this well known character that It Is now well nigh perfect. Kspoclnlly brilliant wns her work in tho torture scene of the third act nnd the assassination sccno in tho fourth act. In the lnttcr her acting was far above criticism. Mr MacDowell as tho Ilaron Scarpla offered a well nigh faultless portrayal of this, a character In which an audience can find Jlt- tlo to ndmlre and which Is a thankless ono at best. The production was, llko Its prede cessors, "Cleopatra' nnd "Fcdorn," sump tuous and the company much better suited lo It. "FetliH'li" "Fedora," one of Sardoti's famous works of fiction, In which the elements of love, hatred, Mint devotion nnd tragedy are closely blended, wni tho offering presented by Blanche "Walsh and Melbourne MacDowell at Wednesday' mntlncv. It was produced In a sumptuous manner. Tho dlfhcult title rolo assumed by Miss Walsh was capably Interpreted from tho moment sho appeared In search of her assassinated lover until she enacted tho death scene, tho victim ot self ndmtnlstered poison. Right well did her queenly beauty and splendor suit tho charac ter of the beautiful princess, whoso deslro for vengeance on tho man who had killed her lover turned Into an nbsorblng Infatuation when sho learned of tho Justifiable) circum stances1 surrounding the affair. Miss Walsh did not overdo her part, but was equal In every respect to the difficult demands mndo by It. Mr. MacDowell seemed to outdo him self. Never lld ho appear more gracefully an Lorls lpanoff, the suspected nihilist, but In reality tho outraged husband. Tho sup porting members of tho cast proved able as sistants to tho principals nnd contributed their share to an almost faultless production.

REPORT FROM DELAG0A BAY Stnte Heiiirtinont Receives lis- Mnll lli-Niilt of Arbitration 011 itnllroiul ( use. WASHINGTON, April 11. Tho full report of tho arbitrators In the Delagoa Ray rail road caao has been received at tho State department by mall from Rerno. It Is found to havo been substantially covered by tho cable report forwarded by the United States mlnlMcr at Rome, when the award was an nounced. Tho award Is under consideration und whllo tho first Impulso was to reject It as totally Inadequato and unjust, It now seems probablo that It must bo acceptod as final. It Is doubted whether, even if the United States government was disposed to icpudlato tho arbitration, the British gov ernment could be Induced to 110 likewise, for notwithstanding tho predominance of tho Ilrltlsh interests In thin particular ease thero nro other considerations which might make It better for England to mako a sc lifico In order to remain on good terms, with i'ortugul, ngalnst which country the repudia tion would react. KiiKlnnil Will Mil PiirtiiKiil, Tho Ililtlbli government, the Associated Prom is officially Informed, stands ready to tako the part ot Portugal In case the Boers attempt reprisals, but so far Portugal has not applied for Ilrltlsh aid nor has she replied to tho Doer notification. With Great Rrltaln nt her bad: It Is said t sho will not glvo In In tho slightest In maln j mining that tho transactions at Uelr.i nro fully Justified by Hid lew? standing treaties between urcat iiruain nnu i'ortugul. wnuo tho situation is admitted to ho grave tho fcrclcn oftice Is not Inclined to believe the Doers will tako aggressive action. The con sensus of opinion is that should the Boors attempt reprisals It would react to tho ad vantage of fire.it Britain, enabling her to use Delagoa bay freely. ...AMUSEMENTS. a i,w vi:it'.s vnmv. Illi Ctiicrlcucc tilth 11 Alriiu ( lien) mill mi Holiest linn. James W. Unrper. formerly Judge In to-n 2. superior court. Indianapolis, is fond of telling il good story on himself of how ho received a fco that was entirely unexpected. Ten or fifteen jears ago, relates the Indian nxills Journal. Judge Harper kept his office in the Vanco block. One day he was con sulted by a merchant of this city, who will bo known as a In the story. The mer chant wns badly embarrassed, as ho owed nbout $20,000 and tho wholesnle houses were pressing him. He camo to Attorney Harper for advlco. Tho Inwyer learned that 0 's wife had eome time boforo come Into possession of about ll.BOO which had been given ber by her father. This money sho had loaned her husband and it was In vested In his business. Tho eittorney advised O to secure his wife tho Ilrst thing nnd ho did so. "Well, wo flnnlly got tho matter settled up." said Judgo Harper In telling the story tho other day, "and (J . and his wife Btarted In business ngaln. Tho creditors of course wero losers to a certain extent, but I felt It my duty to advise tho man to look after hie family first I didn't seo him for sev eral weeks after tho business was settled and I began to wonder about my fee. I ought to havo had at least J200, 1 thought. Q didn't corao around and ono day I sent him a tioto asking him to cull at my oftice. Ho camo In a day or two and I asked about my fee, stating Hint I would bo willing lo square up for 1100. I also recalled to his mind thnt I had performed a legnl servlco for him to tho best of my ability and I thought I should be paid. As soon as I finished my speech 0 Jumped up and started for tho door. " 'I haven't got time to talk about that to day,' ho snapped as he went out the door. Of courso I mado up my mind that my foj was not an ussurcd thing and I let the nnttcr run on for a few months. Finally ono day I met 0 on tho sidewalk In front of tho Vanco block and I 'held him up.' I asked him to como to the ofilco, ns I wanted to talk to him. Ho was Inclined .to bo a llttlo Impatient and wanted to know If I couldn't do my talking whero I was. " 'Well, 1 might, U ,' said I. 'but It Is possible I might say somo things that you would not want tho public to hear.' "I think Q understood that he had better como to tho office, and ho signified his willlngnem to como with me. Wo came upstairs, nnd us soon an wo got Into the olfico ho drew a piece ot paper from his pocket, and, throwing It down on the table, ho remarked: 'Tako that or nothing.' "I picked up tho piece of paper and saw that it was a noto that hnd been given by a man named H several years before. It had been outlawed long ago. Tho princi pal nnd Interest amounted to something over $800. 1 knew Mr. II , and remem bered that ho had become bankrupt several years before. I shoved tho note in tho drawer of my desk as a worthless instru ment. A week or two later, however, I got to thinking about tho matter and sat down and wrote 13 a noto, nsking him to call at my offico If he should happen to be In my neighborhood. He camo within a few days, and I showed him tho note. " 'Yea,' said he, 'I gavo that note, nnd It Is perfectly good. Now, I'll say to you that within ton dnys I'll pay $200 on that I noto and will Bettlo tho remainder by pay ing $100 or $200 every month.' Of course 1 was amazed. I said to H that I would only ask him to pay $100, but' ho Insisted that he would pay every dollar ot It. Then I suggested that he only pay the principal. " 'No, sir,' ho declared, 'I owe the In terest, too, and since I nm making money now I expect to iiay overy cent of it.' "Well, to tnako a long story short, that man, within a few months, paid off every dollar that the no'o called for. A short tlmo after he had finished paying the note O came Into my 'ofilco ono day. What do you think ho said to me? Ho said ho had understood that 11 had paid off the note In full, and slnco I had only demanded a fee of $100, her supposed I would pay over the remainder to him. Did I do It? Not much. I simply recalled to 0 's mind that ho had thrown an apparently worth less noto on my desk with the suggestion that I 'tako that or nothing.' 0 smiled and walked out of tho office." TIIR 1IAI.I'-CI3XT.
