"Human Hearts.” Matinee and Night.
On next Thursday matinee and night
the stage of the Grand will be devoted
to the presentation of the populai
and highly successful play "Human
Hearts” with a company of superior
excellence and strenght. 'The author
of the play is an actor of wide ex
perience and .fully understands the
art of play making from the stand-;
point of both the spectator and the
actor. His effects are produced quick
ly. hut none the jess does he hold pa
tent sway over the passions of his
auditors.
The play Is almost too well known
to require more than a passing word
upon the plot. The main thread of
the story centers around Tom Logan,
who Is unjustly accused of murder,
and sentenced to life imprisonment.
His ttife, Jeannette, who is a proud
ambitious woman, runs away with an
old lover, and goes to New York Even
in n woman degraded as she is, the in
st!m t, of motherhood prompts her to
return to the old home to try to gain
posse-don of her child Grace. She
Is frustrated In her design, and new
evidence being submitted to the
Governor of th> state, he pardons
Tom out of Jail.
Jeannette dies, her paramour Is ar
rested for the murder of Tom’s
father, and Tom marries lluth Lar
kins, and the clouds of adversity are
dispelled ov the sweet sunshine of a
true woman's love.
Thursday matinee will be "bargain

Commissioner of Public
Works Provides For
Drawbridges in Proposed
Structure.
In a communication to fflty council
at its regular meeting “Monday night
Commissioner Wingfield estimated
that the cost of reconstructing Center
street bridge will be $65,000. Of this
amount it will take $20,000 to put
the piers In shape and to provide for
the draw span. The superstructure
will require $45,000 to complete It.
Council moved that as soon as May
or Dunbar returned steps be taken
at once to secure bids for rebuilding
the bridge and that as soon as the
contract was awarded work be pushed
rapidly forward.
In reference to an auxiliary pump
ing station Mr. Wingfield stated that
a steam pump of 10,000,000 gallons’
capacity would cosi approximately
$05,000 to $75,000, but he recommend
ed putting In two pumps of G. 000,000
gallons each and stated that he was
of the opinion that one auxiliary pump
w’ould be sufficient just now and tha
It could be Installed for $40,000, in
cluding foundations and boilers for
an additional pump.
These matters were the most impor
tant brought up before council and
action will be taken on them at once,
one being referred to the bridges and
wharf committee and the other to the
canal and waterworks committee,
both being asked to secure bids for
the construction -of the respective util
ities.
Lame Back.
This ailment is usually caused by
rheumatism of the muscles of the
small of the back, and is quickly
cured by applying ChaniDerlaln's
Liniment two or three times a day
and massaging the parts at each ap
plication. For 3als by all druggists.
consider next if you don’t mind, the
fact that it Is only about once In a
generation that a work of the quality
of "Pinafore" appears, and yo'u arrive
by what you can readily see Is a most
subtle bit of introduction, at the sub
ject of “The Merry Widow.”
For years our musical comedies
drag along In one weary rut. The
authors take their plots from each
other with a unanimity which as an
evidence of fraternal feeliDg, Is truly
gratifying. The same old inevitable
show girls and ail the rest of the
wearisome business reappears in one
after another of them. As for the
music, the librettists take the fami
liar, simple "catchy tunes" and vary
them to some slight extent; always
careful, however, not* to make them
so complex that they cannot be readi
ly whistled or sung by the j*U*ry ■
gods or sung to C chords on tMrb*n
jo or guitar by sixteen year old jnal
dens. * ytajH
Then some day there arises in nf»
youth and impertinence a new com
poser "w'lio knows not Joseph" and
the customs of his forefathers; and
he gives to the world something
which by Its sheer brilliance dazzles
his generation into a feeling of be
wildered awe.
At the hour og going to press “The
Merry Widow" needs neither expla
nation or eulogy. Not, even the fatal
habit which Is so vicious a concomi
tant of our American irreverence, of
nan tig ci<eap and inartistic articles
of v aring apparel after works of ar
tistic worth, has been able to spoil It.
Parody and burlesque, both theatrical
and millinery, do not effect the ori
ginal Just as happened in less de
gree with “Pinafore” some thirty
years ago, "The Merry Widow" has
spread throughout the Occidental
world.
Unfortunate and rare Is that fanilv
album which does not possess among
I its treasurers a picture of Uncle ns
Sir Joseph Porter or of Aunty as the
Captain's Daughter as they appeared
'in the amateur theatricals held in
,18 . It seems most dkely that
; thirty years from now there will be
no city so small or obscure, no ham-
I let so detached or remote, that It Is
1 not able to point out farts concerning
(he production of "The Merry Widow”
therein It has been sung In German.
French, English, Russian. Slavonic, as
well as the minor dialects of the Atts
' t ro-Hungarian Empire. It has been
interpreted by women ranging in ap
pc-.raneo «Dd methods from one ex
treme to the other. Soma might have
stepped off the Montenegrin moun
tain sides, which are the supposed
loea'e f the play; while others are
obviously unaccustomed to any coun
tryside more rigorous than that to be
found In the foothills of Broadway.
One and al. the’- have been success-
