A MANILA AFTERUATH
WAS NOT CUT BY GEORGE
PLAYING HIGH STAKES FOR
GRAFT ON A MEMORIAL TO
ADMIRAL DEWEY.
Atwell Was on the Make UP to His
Eyes—Sues General Dodge for Big
Commissions—Wants $25 000 of An-
die Carnegie's >50.000— Nothing
Bashful About the Demand—Rotten
Patriotism.
Associated Press.
New York. April s.—The victory of
Admiral George Dewey at Manila bay
on May I 189$. had an echo yesterday
In a suit brought against Major Gen-
eral Grenville M. Dodge by Ames W.
Atwell. General Dodge was served
with pai>er>« yesterday.
Shortly after the victory at Manila
bay and the return of Admiral Dewey
and his fleet. Mr. Atwell proposed to
the officials of Norwich university at
NorthAc'd. Vt.. that a fund be raised
as a memorial to the admiral and his
achievements. Norwich university was
the school at which Admiral Dewey
received his early training.
The proimsltlon of Mr. Atwell ac-
cording to the complaint was that he
would collect the fund but was to re-
ceive fifty |»er cent thereof for his
time and trouble. This. It Is alleged
was accepted by the lioard of trustees
and Mr. Atwell he alleges was so
fortunate as to raise $lOOOOO. Of this
amount. It Is stated. $50000 was given
by Andrew Carnegie.
The complaint alleges that the plain-
tiff received his allotted 50 per cent
commission on the $50000 raised ex-
clusive of Mr. Carnegie's gift but his
commission on that gift was denied
him. Suit was therefore brought for
$25000. half of the Carnegie gift.
Genera! Dodge as president of the
board of trustees is made the de-
fendant.
N'NINLEY MEMORIAL
COMMISH BREAKS OUT
Associated Press.
Albany. N. Y. April 5. —Charged by
Senator Gradv on the senate floor
with had faith toward the state the
commissioners in charge of the erec-
tion of the memorial in Buffalo to the
martyred president. William McKin-
ley. yesterday failed to secure an ex-
tra appropriation of $25000 which
they asked.
"The commission has broken faith
with the state." said Senator Grady.
"They secured the balance of money
from the Pan-American exposition and
they have not done a blessed thing
hut are lying around waiting for more
money from the state and breaking
their original pledge in regard to the
memorial to President McKinley.”
WHY PLAYS OFTEN FAIL.
"Tragedies only draw well in pros-
perous times. When money is tight
the people want farces.
The speaker an actor went on to
explain :
“When the public is on Ecasy street
ft is willing to be sympathetic and it
will then go freely to see a sad play.
But when the public Is in hard luck it
wants to forget its troubles and it
goes only to farces and musical com-
edies. for it knows well that the woes
of a stage tragedy would recall to it
only too poignantly its own woes.”
MEN AND PIANOS.
"All pianos." said Paderewski
throwing back his hair "are either
square upright or grand. It Is a
pity this cannot be said of all men.”
DAVID HARUM'S HAUNTS
Where me Winters Are Cold and the
Smws Deep.
Writing from the vicinity David
Haruiu made famous a man says that
he was an habitual coffee drinker
and although he knew it was doing
him harm was too obstinate to give
it up till all at once he went to pieces
with nervousness and insomnia loss
of appetite weakness and a general-
ly used-up feeling which practically
unfitted him for his arduous occupa-
tion. and kept him on a couch at home
when his duty did not call him out.
“While in this condition Grape-Nuts
food was suggested to me. and aban-
doning coffee I began to use it. Al-
though it was in the middle of winter
and the thermometer was often below
zero my entire living for about six
week of severe exposure was Grape-
Nuts with a little bread and butter
and a cup of hot water till I was wise
enough to make Postum Food Coffee
my table beverage.
“After the first two weeks I began
to feel better and during the whole
winter I never lost a trip on my mail
route frequently being on the road 7
or 8 hours at a time. The constant
marvel to me was how a person could
do the amount of work and endure
the fatigue and hardship as I did on
so small an amount of food. But I
found my new rations so iierfectiy
satisfactory that I have continued
them —using both Postum and Grape-
Nuts at every meal and often they
comprise my entire meal. All mv
nervousness irrltabllitv and insomnia
have disappeared and healthy natural
sleep has come back to me.
"But what has been perhaps the
greatest surprise to me is the fact
that with the benefit to my general
health has come a remarkable Im-
provement In my eye-sight.
“If a good appetite gnod digestion
good eyesight strong nerves and an
active brain are to be desired. I can
say from mv own experience that
Grape-Nuts and Postum will supply
them." Name elven by Postum Co.

There's a reason. Read the little

"Side Tracked."
"Tried true and never found want-
ing." Jule Walters the manager of
"Side Tracked." says the above
words fit the play when Its | opuiar-
Ity Is considered. "Side Tracked" has
virtually proven an “Uncle Tom's
Cabin" foi Jule Walters In as much
as the play always receives the limit
in patronage everywhere presented.
Miss Adelaide Walters wears one of
the moat stunning gowns obtainable
direct from Paris.
That funny play "Side Tracked"
will again be presented at the Grand
Sunday matinee and night. "Side
Tracked" is one in a hundred plays
launched by theatrical managers
which posacMien sufficient merit to
call out standing room In the same
territory year after year. Mr. and
Mrs. Jule Walters and Miss Adelaide
Walters appear in the cast and spe-
cialties.
Marie Cahill.
It Is possible that If George V Ho-
bart could throw a few .of his Intel-
lectual hammers at the foreheads of
our foremost ideals the public might
commence to look on him as a rival of
Geo. Bernard Shaw In the realm of
glittering thought fashioning. Here
are some specimens of Mr Hobart's
workmanship so cleverly sent over
the footlights by Marie Cahill In the
Interesting characterisation of “Mol-
ly Moonshine" which will be seen at
the Grand Saturday matinee and night
after a ten weeks' run at New York
city. Molly Moonshine and Lola
Charmion are discussing the handwrit-
ing of tbe latter.
Molly: "You and very fond of
diamonds."
Lola: "How you know dis secret
of my soul?"
Molly: “Imitation Is the sincerest
form of flattery. You seem very fond
of dress or I should say. half way fond
of dress (Uda's gown is very decol-
lete). you sec absence makes the
heart grow fonder. And then again
Lola you-tpke things too easily.
Lola: "Indeed I take things very
easy. I take your Lionel very easy.”
Molly: “Yes he was easy or you
couldn't have taken him "
During the very clever duet which
Miss Cahill sings with Dick Temple
entitled. "In Our Set" some clever
patter is made. Tbe two are dancing
a very sleep) sort of half time meas-
ure —a burlesque two-step.
Lionel: “Where's y our chaper-
one?”
Molly: “Over there by the window
—where's yours ’’
Lionel: “Was your sister's marriage
a success?"
Molly: "Oh. yes. she's traveling In
Europe tow on the alimony. I love
waltzing."
Lionel: "So do L"
Molly: "Then why don't you learn."
Lionel: “Perhaps )ou don't like my
style.”
Molly: “There's an awful lot of
sameness to it."
Molly: "By stepping on my left
foot once in a while. Are you dining
anywhere on Thursday Lionel ”
Lionel: "Let me see Monday-
Tuesday—Wednesday—Thursday— no
I'm not dining anywhere on Thura-
day.”
Molly: "You'll be awfully hungry
on Friday won't you?”
At the Majestic.
How does he do it? That is the ques-
tion heard on all sides when Sam Do
Vries mysteriously causes a man to
disappear from a locked trunk and
a woman to take his place.
This seeming miracle is ena2ted
twice each day at the Majestic and as
ft is accomplished in the full glare of
all the house lights the illusion Is
most mystifying.
An ordinary packing trunk is used
and after being carefully examined by
several persons from the audience a
man Is placed in the trunk and It is
carefully locked As a further pre-
caution against the man's escape the
trunk is enclosed In a canvas trunk
cover which Is securely laced and tied
this being done by a man from tbe zu-
dlence. The trunX is then hidden
from view behind a screen near the
center of the stage and before one can
have said Jack Robinson the trans-
formation takes place. Now now Is
it done?
So much Intc-est has been aroused
and so manv different conjectures of-
fered regarding the possible “trick"
character of the trunk that Mr. Du
Vries has accepted the offer of a 'ocal
carpenter to furnish a wooden pack-
ing case of the same size as the
trunk heretofore used—the m in is to
be placed therein and the lid to be
nailed on. then the whole to be en-
closed in the canvas cover. The case
wjll be used at tonight's performance
and will remain on exhibition all day
in the lobby of the theater. Mr. Du
Vries promises that the same trans-
formation will occur when the case Is
used. Tonight we shall see.
The Bia Pony. D°o and Monkey Show.
One of the best attractions with the
Great Gaskill shows which are to fur-
nish the paid features of San Antonio
Spring Carnival commencing Monday
April 16 will be the educated Pony.
Dog and Monkey show. This attrac-
tion. even In Its more diminutattve
shape of the past two seasons has
been Invariably one of the best pa-
tronized entertainments of the organi-
zation. There is jterhaps no animal
for which man has the natural liking
he has for a horse. The term "natural
liking” appears the more appropriate
when we call to mind the toddling
youngster probably enjoys more than
all the other nursery rhymes the one
which runs:
"Ride a cock horse
To Banbury Cross.
To see an old lady upon a white horse;
Rings on her Angel's
And bells on her toes.
She shall have music . wherever shd
goes."
Then he gets a little older and Santa
Claus brings him his flrst hobby horse
and of all his treasures this remains
the most treasured until he has grown

Into a "big" boy too big to ride rhe
make-believe animal. This liking so
early evinced makes it easy for us to
understand the meaning of the saving
"I love horses." which is common
among gieople who have had much to
do with them. It is just as easy to
understand what the man first meant
when he said: “I would never trust a
man who is cruel to a horse." Next to
a dog the horse is the most sagacious
of ail animals. Indeed there are those
who place the horse first. Be that as
it may we all must admit that equine
sagacity id sometimes marvelous ind
we have all seen troupes of trained
horses or ponies which performed
many feats seeminglv beyond the pow-
er of the animal to learn. Gaskill's
ponies are such a troupe and their
lierfonnancc leads the spectator to
believe that Gaskill has a remarkable
method of teaching his stock and that
they are endowed with a large nmouflt
of horse sense. Their acts are full or
comedy the ponies and dogs acting U>
gether In many comic stunts. One ot
the smallest of the ponies has been
taught to pick out a person in a crowd
by his photograph. He expresses
numbers by beating the ground with
his foot and does examples in tddi-
tion multiplication subtraction and
division. He also knows the differ-
ence in the metal of coined money and
the denomination of each piece. He
picks out the fattest man or the
thinnest at word ot command. There !s
a musical dog who has had a musical
education and delights in classical
pieces but a badly played air sets him
wild. There is the highest diving dog
in the world. The only double somer-
saulting canine in existence and many
other new and difficult acts never be-
fore presented by a canine troupe or
actors. The monkey contingent ot
the show present many highly edify-
ing features as well as laughable epi* ’
odes that never fail to please old and |
young. i
