pictures is almost certain to result in
return visits to the theater during the
week. There are many diverting fea-
tures, but in the main the pictures de-
serve attention because of their educa-
tional influence and the wonderful
story of human fortitude and devotion
which they tell. They are a living
record in motion pictures of one of the
greatest and most tragic adventures of
modern times, on which the leader and
four of his comrades perished, after
reaching the goal of their hopes, and of
the unique and remarkable animal life
of a world hitherto unknown.
Capt. Scott and his gallant com-
panions are followed through all of the
most intersting and perilous adventures
of their daily life in the polar regions;
and as near to the pole as the heavy
moving picture apparatus could be
transported.
The interesting and glorious story is
told by the lecturer, Mr. Charles B.
Hanford, who is engaged by special ar-
rangement.
The pictures of animal life are be-
yond all doubt the most marvelous rev-
elation of the animal kingdom ever
recorded by means of the camera. Some
of the habits of the animals illustrated
are even revealed to science for the
first time.
In no other part of the world could
such pictures as these have been made.
In the Antarctic the animals have no
enemies when out of the sea. There
are no bears or land creatures to mo-
lest them. Their only foes are in the
sea—the dreaded “killer whales”—con-
sequently, not knowing what human
being were and having no fear of them
the seals and fowls permitted the artist
to approach them. These pictures were
actually made within a few feet of the
subject and not with magnifying lenses.
Mr. Ponting is all the more to be con-
gratulated on the astounding results he
secured because the climatic conditions
under which the work was done were
without parallel in the history of mo-
tion photography. Yet, notwithstand-
ing the tremendous difficulties under
which he labored and requiring almost
incredible powers of patience and per-
sistence, the technique of the pictures is
faultless, the. composition perfect, and
the incidents selected with masterly
care and judgment.
These pictures are to be seen at the
Grand, matinee and night, every, day
this week except Saturday.
known other influence until she meets
Lane, a young wealthy banker. Lane
has a young sister whom heloves. One
night she accompanies friends on a
slumming expedition, and, in a spirit
of bravado she takes a few puffs from
an opium pipe. She acquires the taste,
which later develops into a craving for
opium. Lane, one night accompanies
a friend to a dance hall. Dora is
present with some friends. A buly in-
sults her and Lane knocks him down.
Lane and Dora become acquainted. On
Lane’s refusal to buy some flowers
from a poor old woman, Dora, on the
impulse of the moment, gets up and
dances and hands over the collection
she gets to the woman. This generous
act awakens in the soul of Lane a de-
sire to uplift the denizens of the un-
derworld. With the assistance of Dora,
he starts a club in close proximity to
the district, and has instaled a hospital,
reading room, employment bureau,
nursery, etc. Under a different environ-
ment, Dora realizes the shallow life she
has been leading. Thrown in daily
contact with Lane, she learns to love
him, but one day in calling at his of-
fice, she sees Lane kiss his sister and,
believing it to be his sweetheart, stif-
fled the love that had grown up in her
heart. By her own changed life and
influence she sets a good example for

After using laxative and cathartic
medicines from childhood a case of
chronic constipation yielded to the sci-
entific food, Grape-Nuts, in a few days.
“From early childhood I suffered
with such terrible constipation that I
had to use laxatives continuously go-
ing from one drug to another and suf-
fering more or less all the time.
“A prominent physician whom I con-
sulted told me the muscles of the di-
gestive organs were weakened and
could not perform their work without
help of some kind, so I have tried at
different times about every laxative
and cathartic known, but found no help
that was at all permanent. I had fin-
ally become discouraged and had given
my case up as hopeless when I began
to use the pre-digested food, Grape-
Nuts.
“Although I had not expected this
food to help my trouble, to my great
surprise Grape-Nuts digested easily
from the first and in a few days I was
convinced that this was just what my
system needed.
“The bowels performed their func-
tions regularly and I am now complete-
ly and permanently cured of this awful
trouble.
“Truly the power of scientific food
must be unlimited.” Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Trial 10 days of Grape-Nuts, when
regular food does not seem to sustain
the body, works wonders. “There’s a
Reason.”

The Princess Stock company exceed-
ed even the fair expectations of their
admirers in the new offering, “Molly
Bawn.” The audiences Sunday were
large and appreciative, and the man-
agement looks for crowded houses
throughout the run. The strong dra-
matic qualities of the piece are tem-
pered with the sentiment, “tender and
true,” of lovemaking and laughmaking.
The role played by Mr. DeForest af-
fords this capable actor great latitude
in the display of his powers. Having
held stock engagements in most every
big' city west of Chicago, he has gained
for himself the name and title that he
now bears as “Chicago’s popular lead-
ing man.” He was leading man at
the Marlow theater, Chicago; Columbia
theater, Milwaukee; at Pittsburg three
solid years at Grand theater, Chicago,
and at St. Louis, Mo. Starting in the
theatrical business at the age of 16,
he played parts of all descriptions,
from a young man to an old man of
70. His belief is that no actor is a
leading man until he reaches the stage
where he can handle any part given
him.
Grand Opera House.
There is not a man, woman or child
in Galveston who should fail to see the
photographic portrayal of the undying
story of Capt. Scott and of animal life
in the Antarctic, which is being given
at the Grand this week. Nothing more
impressive and inspiring has ever been
seen in Galveston. The pictures are the
work of Herbert G. Pointing, a fellow
of the Royal Geographic society of
Great Britain, who was a member of
the Scott expedition to the south pole.
They are masterpieces of photographic
art, in addition to being a record of
one of the world’s most interesting and
tragic stories.
The lecture incident to the display of
the pictures is delivered by Charles B.
Hanford, the eminent actor. His talents
fit him for doing this work in a most
admirable manner. One view of the
ing of the . plans there appears to be

would require some three hours to go
into the plans with a view of finally
approving them and that this would
be done after the various interests had
been heard.

From what could be learned at the
informal dicussion between the com-
mittee from the Galveston commercial
association and the members of the
board of city commissioners this after-
noon it appears that the cmmercial
association wants the new building lo-
cated on the porperty where the cot-
ton carnival auditorium now is and
would be willing to donate this block
to the city for that purpose. It was
stated by several of the committee
1rom the commercial association that
the auditorium should be located on
the beach where those attending con-
ventions could, keep cool. . It was fur-
ther proposed that the bond issue for
the new municipal building be divided
and part of it used in repairing and
enlarging the present city hall build-
ing at Twentieth and Market street
and the remainder spent in erecting the
auditorium on the beach. It was point-
ed out that the auditorium could be
used for offices and the commission
meetings and the spirit and letter of
the law relative to city halls and au-
ditoriums complied with.
Just what will be the action of the
board in this connection cannot be
said.
Those present from the commercial
association this morning were:
George Sealy, E. R. Cheesborough,
H .A. Black, I. A. Stein, Ed. Lasker and
Morris Stern. Commissioner Kempner
of the board of city commissioners was
not' present.
The committee appointed to attend
the meeting from the commercial as-
sociation tomorrow afternoon is: I. A.
Stein, Fd. Lasker, H. A. Black, George
Sealy, E R. Cheesborough, Morris
Stern, H. A. Eiband and Fred M. Lege,

Every life has its critical moments.
There are times when a man’s health
is staked upon the care he gives to it
within a few hours. His system may
be run down, blood laden with bilious
poison and lungs or skin affected.
Twenty-four hours after you start
to take Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery, poisonous matter and blood
impurities begin to leave your body
through the Liver, Bowels, Kidneys and
Skin.
So powerfully penetrating is this
purely vegetable remedy that through
the circulation of the blood it reaches
every fibre, muscle and joint, dissolves
the poisonous secretions and drives
them out of the body.
It brings new activity to the liver,
stomach and bowels in a short time,
thus causing sallowness, indigestion
and constipation to disappear.
It enters the tiny blood vessels of
the skin, bringing with it fresh vital-
ized blood, and abiding faith in its
wonderful cleansing power has come
to thousands, when pimples, bolls, car-
buncles, rash, eczema, acne and other
skin troubles dry up and disappear.

This morning’s meeting of the board
of county commissioners was charac-
terized by the rapidity by which the
business was disposed of, only forty
minutes being occupied in disposing of
the docket.
A petition bearing the signatures of
eleven residents of precinct 13 % was
read asking that some repairs, enough
to make is passable, be done on the
lateral road running from the Notting-
ham road to the beach between mile
posts 11 and 12. The matter was re-
ferred to Commissioner Egert and
ning of No. 6 and knows exactly where
they must meet and pass No. 1, the
express. He decides to set back Billy’s
watch four minutes, just time enough
to ditch the rain which mishap he
thinks will put Billy out of the run-
ning, so that he can win Marie. Ob-
taining access to Billy’s watch, he sets
it back, and then awaits developments.
Blake’s mind is troubled and he has
visions of a frightful wreck. He would
recall his cat but it is too late. He
hurries to the home of Marie, only
to discover that she has gone as a
passenger on the fated train. . In his
horror and remorse he prepares to kill
himself, but is interrupted by the ar-
rival of Billy and Marie. A mishap to
the locomotive had set them on a sid-
ing and.' averted the accident.

ger of many successive secretaries of

Crystal Vaudeville.
In “Obliging a Friend,” the Dan
Russell musical comedy performs in-
cidental favors for the audiences at
the Crystal vaudeville house. There is
a mirth dispersing, gloom dispensing
performance, and the audience gets its
fill of laughter. As a rule the ordi-
nary farce with music is innocent of a
plot, but it does not take Sherlock
Holmes to find a clue to one in “Ob-
liging a Friend.” The yarn this most
mirthful offering unfolds is a clever
conception based on humor, built up
with -wit and finished off with drollery.
The title suggests the story. Anyone
knows what comes, of obliging a friend.
Dan Russell and Hap Farnell play the
parts of the friends, the one obliging,
the other much obliged. They become
entangled in a conglomeration of side
splitting situations, but in the end—
oh, it all ends happily. This kind of
a sho walways does, for the windup
must be red, white and blue. The trill-
ing of the song birds of the troupe is
incomparable, and on the roll of musi-
cal honors may be mentioned. Flo
Farnell, Jessie Russell, Ollie Ende,
Daisy Dean, Hap Farnell, Blanchard
Me Kee and Frank Hughes.
Mrs. George F. Burgess is at home
after a visit to Marlin. Alexander
Easton Burgess, who accompanied his

Negotiations On Between London Stock
Market and Banks.
By Associated Press.
London, Sept. 25 (by mail).—It is
known . that negotiations are still in
progress between the stock exchange
committee and the banks and it is
confidently believed that a scheme is
nearing completion whereby the mar-
ket situation soon will be cleared up.
As usual, however, officials refuse to
make any statement on the subject.
Members continue to congregate in
the street in front of the stock ex-
change’s closed doors, but dealings are
very small and still on a strictly cash
basis. Consols remain about 68 9-16,
but home rails a shade harder. Amer-
icans are quoted about the following
level:
Amalgamated, 48%; Atchison, 87%;
Erie, 19%; Southern Pacific, 83; Unions,
111%; Steel, 50%; Canadian Pacific,
159%.
A feature of the week is the grow-
ing strength of the Bank of England,
which shows a stock of coin and bul-
lion of px $51,673,000, the highest level
in the history of the bank.
A line of sterling treasury bills
amounting to 2,000,000 pounds was
placed in the market on behalf of the
French government. They run for one
year and are said- to yield 5 per cent.
The attendance of bankers and brok-
ers on the royal exchange for purposes
of fixing exchange rates was again
large and quotations were made for
most countries, narrower margins than
previously. Mail, telegraphic transfers
and three months bills are being dealt
in more freely, except, of course, Aus-
tria and Germany. The exchange on
Dixie Theater.
At the Dixie Theater today the at-
tractions are the powerful Selig drama,
“Four Minutes Late,” and an Essanay
comedy in which Chick Evans, the golf
champion, is seen on the links with
“Sweedie.”
In “Four Minutes Late” Billy Gar-
field is a bright young railroad engi-
neer. He runs passenger train No. 6,
and next to his locomotive he loves
Marie Shaw. They are engaged and
their Wedding day is set, but Jack
Blake, Billy’s fireman on the run, and
a former suitor for Marie’s hand, is
jealous and plots to “fix” Billy. Blake
is intimate with the details of the run-

Queen Theater.
“The Poisoned Bit,” two-part Edison
drama. After Tom had been in the
employ of Colonel Standish a short
time he fell in love with the Colonel’s
daughter. When he is discharged' he
goes to England, where his identity as
Lord Blyncourt's grandson is estab-
lished, through the aid of a locket, and
the colonel’s daughter becomes his
bride.
“The Spirit of Jealousy,” Biograph
drama. A powerful example of what
may happen when the green-eyed
monster is permitted to distort inno-
cent motives and actions so that they
appear altogether differently. If the
thought is father to the deed, this
man’s unworthy suspicion of his wife
indeed brought him to the verge of
murder which his overheated brain re-
hearsed so vividly that his hands
seemed red with the stain that will not
out.

who are opposed to locating the build-
ing on Twenty-fifth stree.t
Mayor Fisher this morning stated
to the committee from the commercial
association that the property had been
bought and paid for and that the ar-
chitbet had ' been employed and had
completed, the plans for the new build-
ing. He said to discard the proposed
location now meant and expenditure of
something like seventy-five thousand
dollars on the part of the city and
that this could not well be afforded.
“We want to hear you gentlemen,
and at the time the matter of selecting
a site was being discussed every one
was asked to come forward and help
in locating the building. No one
came and the board proceeded to se-
lect the site on Twenty-fifth street.
Now that the site has been. purchased

have been paid $12,500 for the draw-
