Perkins and His Support Prove Clever in Play of Eloping Lovers. A laugh in three acts is Du Souchet's Vho Goes There?” which rollicked out its night at the Majestic last night. Walter E. Perkins, imported for the chief role, and the Bishop players of the rst gave a capital performance plece to the riotous appreciation of the large audlence. Du Souchet's material may not be new, but there is no other complaint to make of it he piot is impossible of relation under three weeks, as the hero says, but it is plausible while you wait. Concerned in it are four pairs of eloping lovers, one irate guardian, one ditto parent, a village Foxy Quil- ler and four doors with real bangs. The dramatist shuffles these into every possible combination and there you are. Everybody goes everywhere except where he should go. The hero, “Toppy* N, nan, is the chief sinner. He is a 1ful young lleutenant who has ob- ed leave of absence for thirty-six hours In order to get himself married. ut he has friends and *“Toppy” s gocd-natured. They also have decided to marry on the same day, but have not obtained leave of absence. Also he stern parents are pursuing. Will Toppy” help? And “Toppy” does, to e extent of explaining to the afore- ntioned stern parents that the ladies are his wives. His enthusiasm car- ries him even further. He gets the habit and tries to rescue two other damsels in distress in the same fash- fon. All this, with the usual fate of the good-natured meddler. The climax of the second act, with every one look- ing out of the wrong door, and the couch walking around on its hindlegs— Foxy Quiller is inside—is of the screaming kind. But it is ail good fun. Perkins as Toppy gives a neat, sturdy performance. It is not in any sense dis- tinguished, but there is quite enough Per- kins for the role. Genuine drollery his work abounds in, and as merely to pro- duce Du Souchet’'s lines in their right place almost suffices, the comedian is quite sufficient to his need. Frank Bacon is very funny as the constable. As usual, his work is rich in character suggestion, quaint, humorous and thoroughly artistic. It is a character, not a caricature. Very good work again is done by George Friend as one of the lovers, Upton, an easy and manly performance, and Orval Humphreys does well as the third. George Bloom- quist amuses to the limit of the part as the fourth swain, and Lloyd Ingraham as the stern father is convincing. Just why Reginald Travers plays the guardian as a sort of Texas Bill is inapparent. It is neither beautiful nor true. Frances Slosson as the ingenuous Top- ¥'s sweetheart and a clever young person v the name of Marie Gordon share the feminine honors. Miss Slosson is pretty and spirited, and Miss Gordon is that and perhaps more in her Sis Hopkins creation. Maggie Frances Leary brings a bit of broad, elbowy fun as the Widow Hadley, Irene Outtrim and Madeleine Maxwell completing the cast. The piece goes this week and next. BLANCHE PARTINGTON. . Kubellk’s Farewell. last Kubeltk concert of the regular local series, which has been as a rare feast to those of the faithful who worship at the melodic shrine, was given last evening at the Tivoll.

The blg number technically was of course I Palpiti” by Paganini, with its theme and variations, double harmonics and left hand plzzicatti, which, like the “Moto Perpetuo,” the encore ‘‘Campanella” by the same was simply faultless in its rendition. The audlence: was as ueual enthusiastic and sistent in its demands for encores. Mr. Lud- wig Schwab _accompanied charmingly, and Miss Agnes Gardner-Eyre played a ‘‘Prelude’ of Chopin_ “Traumeswirren” by Schumann, and a ‘‘Waltz” by Strauss-Tauslg, the last number in particular being very pleasing. Kubelik will play at Oakland on Thursday night.

Henry Shumer as Larry Monckton and George P.

The songs and dancing are con- { siderably above the average.

Alexander Yoell in ques- tion before Superior Judge Kerrigan. All day yesterday counsel in the case were engaged selecting a jury that will determine whether or not the testa- ment shall stand or be set aside. At the former hearing the jury disagreed, being about evenly divided on the is- sues involved. Yoell died at Highland Springs, Lake County, on July 14, 1904, leaving a will bearing date of January 27 of the same year. In this instrument he left the bulk of his $200,000 estate to Evaline Amelia Levy, Hettie Caroline Thedbold and Alice Virginia Yoell, children of his first wife, Evaline P. Yoell. To the children of his second wife, Emily C. Yoell, he made but small bequests. Three of these children—Gertrude EI- len and Beatrice Ethel Yoell and Emily F. Dunne—instituted contest to his will. Four other children of the sec- ond marriage—John H., Herbert A. and Willlam A. Yoell and Mary Genevieve Parkhurst—are not taking active in- terest in the contest, though they will benefit in event the will is ultimate!ly set aside. In their contest the plaintiffs allege that at the time the deceased executed the will in question he was not of sound mind and was under the undue influence of Evaline Amella Levy. It is asserted that the testator labored under the insane delusion that his sec- ond wife and her children were plot- ting to cause his death and believed that they actually did attempt to poison him, all of which,, assert the contestants, is untrue. Furher, allege the plaintiffs, Evaline Amelia Levy induced the testator to leave his home in San Jose and come to this city to reside with her. While in her home, it is asserted, Mrs. Levy induced her fatrer to practically dis- inherit the children of his second mar- riage to her own great benefit. ————— JURY IMPANELED TO TRY POLICEMAN W.

LOS ANGELES, April 9.—The blockade on the valley division of the Southern Pa- cific caused by the tremendous landslides at tunnel No. 17 in the Tehachapi Moun- tains, which for elght days has prevented through traffic, was raised this morning and the first train passed through the tun- nel since April 1. Despairing of removing the enormous mass of loose earth and rocks which had slid down the mountain- side, burying the mouth of the tunnel, the railroad officials adopted the plan of re- moving a portion of the earth and then building a heavy bulkhead or retaining wall to hold the loose material in check. s fast as the steam shovel made a hole in the pile of dirt this bulkhead was ex- tended, and when completed it resembled a huge snowshed made of the heaviest timbers. Above it lie thousands of yards of loose earth, which but for the wooden barrier would slide down upon the track. The southbound Owl train arrived this evening, and the northbound Owl left on time. The Santa Fe trains are also pas: ing the blockaded point. Freight traffic, which has congested on the coast line, will be transferred to the valley division tomorrow. CAEe D TRACKS UNDER WATER. Colorado River Damages Roadbed of the Southern Pacific. LOS ANGELES, April 9.—Reports received here today etate that the Colorado River is rising agaln as a result of recent heavy rains and that floods are resulting in some sectiona. At the new town of Calexico and settlements across the Mexican border the situation is re- ported serlous. A hastily constructed levee is all that now stands between the town and the river, which Is very high at that point. Crops In the vicinity have been badly damaged and the Southern Pacific tracks are sald to be under water, although still intact. BHET S MAGED TRACK. RESTORING D). Salt Lake Road Expects to Resume Overland Trafle Saturday. LOS ANGELES, April 9.—Officials of the Salt Lake road say that regular overland ser- vice upon that system will be resumed mext Saturday. The force of 2000 men working from both ends of the washout near Caliente is making rapld progress in restoring the washed-out tracks. Construction crews from the Las Vegas and Tonopah line have been sent o the scene of trouble to assist,in the task. OPERATORS HAVE A COUNTER PLA NEW YORK, April 0.~At the joint con- ference of the sub-committees of the an- thracite coal miners and their employers to be held here tomorrow the aperators will decline to accept arbitration as pre- sented last week by the mine workers, and will In its stead present a counter proposition, which, if agreed to by Presi- dent Mitchell and his men, will bind each side for more than two vears. The oper- ators have been working on the new plan ever since the adjournment of the joint conference of last Thursday, and the in- ability of the presidents of the hard coal carrying rallroads to complete minor de- talls caused a postponement of twenty- four hours of the ¢ )nference scheduled for today. It is said that the offer to be made in- volves an arbitration plan very different from the one presented by the miners, one that will call for the settlement of only new grievances that after an impar- tial investigation has been made, may be found to exist. The operators still main- tain the position that the miners in their demands have not called attention ‘to anything that has not already been passed upon by the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission. There is a strong impression among the miners’ comr:ittee that the operators will propose that Pres- ident Roosevelt be requested to summon the strike commission to review the en- tire controversy. They decline, however, to indicate how they would receive the suggestion. The operators’ representatives were closeted in conference most of the day, and that promises that unless some- thing unforeseen should occur they will be ready with their answer to the miners’ arbitration plan tomorrow. President Mitchell announced this evening that the last of the bituminous coal operators in the Pittsburg district who had held out against the 1903 scale signed the agreement today. This action, he said, clears up the Western Pennsylvania territory and means that 40,000 men in that territory who pro- duce from 35,000,000 to 40,000,000 tons of soft coal a year will recelve an in- crease of 5.55 per cent in wages, —_———————— WOULD RECALL COUNCILMAN ‘WHO VOTED FOR HUNTINGTON First of Twenty-Two Petitions Is Filed ‘With City Clerk of Los Angeles.

S WASHINGTON, April 9.—McLaurin and Morgan addreeced the Senate today on the railroad rate question, the former advocating legislatfon and the latter opposing. The Mississippi Senator amnounced his in- tentlon to support an amendment providing for a court review of the decisions of the Inter- state Commerce Commission and also stated his adherence to the Balley amendment pro- hibiting the temporary suepension of the com- misston’s orders by the inferlor courts. He criticised what he characterized as an effort to’ infect politics into the conslderation of the bill. Morgaa took the position that the proposed legislation was an interference with the rights of the States to control the corporations cre- ated by themselves and sald that the best way to check exorbitant railroad rates was to kesp the waterways in such condition as to insure competition. NEW FEDERAL JUDGE NAMED FOR STATE OF COLORADO Robert E.

After a spirited contest, conducted principally before Judge Hailett's tion was received, but with a knowledge that it was coming, the President has appointed Robert E.

Several members of the Colorado Congres- slonal delegation discussed the appointment with the President today.

Rise Liars, And Salute Your Queen Ho, All Ye Faithful Followers of Ananias / GIVE EAR! A Young Girl Said to a Cooking School Teacher in New York: “If You Make One Statement as False as That, All You Have Said About Foods Is Absolutely Unreliable. This burst of true American girl in- dignation was caused by the teacher saying that Grape-Nuts, the popular pre-digested food, was made of stale bread shipped in and sweetened. The teacher colored up and changed the subject. There 1s quite an assortment of traveling and stay-at-home members of the tribe of Ananias who tell their falsehoods for a variety of reasons. In the spring it is the custom on a cattle ranch to have a “round up” and brand the cattle, so we are going to have a “round up” and brand these cattle and place them in their proper pastures. FIRST PASTURE. Cooking school _teachers—This includes “teachers” who have up- plied to us for a weekly pay if they would say “something nice” about Grape-Nuts and Postum, and when we have declined to hire them to do this they get waspy and show their true colors. This also includes “demonstra- tors” and “lecturers” sent out by a certain Sanitarium to sell foods made there, and these people in- structed by the small-bewhisk- ered-doctor—the head of the in- stitution—to tell these prevari- cations (you ecan lpeak the stronger word if you like). This same little doctor conducts a small magazine in which there is @ department of “answers to cor- respondents,” many of the ques- tions as well as the answers be- ing written by the aforesaid doc- tor. In this column some time ago appeared the statement: “No, we cannot recommend the use of Grape-Nuts, for it is nothing but bread with glucose poured over it.” Right then he showed his badge as a member of the tribe of Ananias. He may have been a member for some time before and so he has caused these “lec- turers” to descend into the ways of the tribe wherever they go. When the young lady in New York put the “iron on” to this “teacher” and branded her right we sent $10.00 to the girl for her pluck and bravéry. SECOND PASTURE. Editors of “Trade” papers known as grocers' papers. Remember, we don't put the brand on all, by any means. Only those that require it. These members of the tribe have de- manded that we carry advertis- ing in their papers and when we do not consider it advisable they institute & campaign of vitupera- tion and slander, printing from time to time manufactured slurs on Postum or Grape-Nuts. When they go far enough we set our legal force at work and hale them to the judge to answer. If the pace h: been hot enough to throw some of these “cattle” over on their backs, feet tied and “bel- lowing,” do you think we should be blamed? They gambol around with tails held high and jump stiff legged with a very “cocky” air while they have full range, but when - the rope is thrown over them “it's different.” Should we untle ‘them be- cause they bleat soft and low? Or should we put the iron on, so that people will know the brand? Let's keep them in this pas- ' ture, anyhow. 4 THIRD PASTURE. Now we come to a frisky lot. the “Labor Union” editors. You know down in Texas a weed called “Loco” is sometimes eaten by a steer and produces a de- rangement of the that makes the steer “batty” or crazy. Many of these editors are “Lo- brain coed” from hate of any one who \ will not instantly obey the “de- mands” of a labor union and it is the universal habit of such writers to go straight into a system of personal vilification, manufacturing any sort of false- hood through which to vent their spleen. We assert that the com- mon citizen has a right to live and breathe air without asking permission of the labor trust and this has brought down on us the hate of these editors. When they go far enough with their libels, is it harsh for us to get judgment against them and have our law- yers watch for a chance to at- tach money due them from others? (For they are usually irresponsible.) Keep your eye out for the “Lo- coed”. editor. Now let all these choice specimens take notice: . We will deposit one thousand or fifty thousand dollars to be covered by a like amount from them, or any one them, and if there was ever ome mce of old bread or any other ingre- dient different than our selected wheat and barley with a little salt and yeast used in the making of Grape-Nuts, we will lose the money. Our pure food factories are open at all times to visitors and thousands pass through each month, inspecting every department and every process. Our factories are so cledn that one could, with good relish, eat a meal from the floors. 'The work people, both men and women, are of the highest grade in the State of Michigan and, according to the State labor reports, are the highest paid in the State for similar work. Let us tell you exactly what you will see when you inspect the manufacture of Grape-Nuts. You wiil find tremen- dous clevators containing the choicest wheat and barley possible to buy. These grains are carried through long con- veyers to grinding mills, and there con- verted into flour. Then the machines make selection of the proper quantities of this flour in the proper proportion and these parts are blended into a gen- eral flour which passes over to the big dough mixing machines. There water, salt and a little yeast are added and the dough kneaded the proper lehgth of time. Remember that previous to the bar- ley having been ground it was passed through. about one hundred hours of soaking in water, then placed on warm floors and slightly sprouted, developing the diastase in the barley, which changes the starch in the grain into a form of sugar. Now after we have passed it into dough and it has been kneaded long enough, it is8 molded by machinery into loaves about 18 inches long and 5 or 6 Inches in diameter. It is put Into this shape for convenlence in second cogk- ing. These great loaves are sliced by ma- chinery and the slices placed on wire trays, these trays, in_turn, placed on great steel trucks, and rolled into the secondary ovens, each perhaps 75 ‘or 80 feet long. There the food is sub- Jjected to a long low heat and the starch which has not been heretofore trans- formed is turned into a form of sugar generally known as Post Sugar. It can be seen glistening on the granules of Grape-Nuts' if held toward the light, and this sugar is not poured r or put on the food as these prevaricators ignorantly assert. On the contrary the sugar exudes from the interfor of each little granule -during the process ot manufacture, and reminds one of the little white particles of sugar that come out on the end of a hickory log after it has been sawed off and allowed to stand for a length of time. This_Post is_the most ible food known for human use. It is so perfect in its adaptability that mothers with very young infants will pour a little warm milk over two or three -pmm-,otmmm thus washing the sugar off the graa-| ules and carrying it with the milk te the bottom of the dish. Then this milk charged with Post Sugar is fed to the infants, producing the most satisfactory results, for the baby has food that it can digest quickly and will go off to sleep well fed and contented. When baby gets two or three months old it 18 the custom of some mothers to allow Grape-Nuts to soak in the milk a little longer and become mushy, whereupon a little of the food can by fed in addition to the milk containing the washed off sugar. It is by no means manufactured for a baby food, but these facts are stated as an illustration of a perfectly digest- ible food. It furnishes the energy and strength for the great athletes. It is in com~ mon use by physicians in their own families and among their patients, and can be seen on the table of every first- class college in the land. We quote from the London Lancet =ofoon tancet analysis as follows: “The basis of nomenclature of this preparation is evidently an American Pleasantry, since ‘Grape-Nuts' is d e~ rived solely from cereals. The prepar- atory process undoubtedly converts the food constituents into a much more di- gestible condition than in the raw cereal. This is evident from the re- markable solubility of the preparation, no less than one-half of it being solub| in cold water. The soluble part con- tains chiefly dextrin and no starch. In appearance = ‘Grape-Nuts' resembles fried bread crumbs. The grains are brown and erisp, with a pleasant taste not uniike slightly burnt malt. Ae cording to our analysis the following is the composition of ‘Grape-Nuts' Moisture, 6.02 per cent; mineral mat- ter, 2.01 per cent; fat, 1.60 per cent; proteids, 15 per cent; soluble carbohy- drates, etc., 49.40 per cent; and unal- tered carbohydrates (insoluble), 25.97 per cent. The features worthy of note in this analysis are the excellent pro- portion of proteid, mineral matters and soluble carbohydrates per cent. The mineral matter was rich in phosphoric acid. ‘Grape-Nuts' is desecribed as a brain and nerve food, whatever that may be.
