An attraction of a kind to secure and
hold the interest of all classes of thea-
tre-goers will be offered by the man-
agement at Hoyt’s Theatre next Tues-
day evening, January 17, in The Dawn
Of Freedom. Paul Gilmore’s new ro-
mantic and spectacular play, based up:
on the incidents of life in Cuba during
the revolution, and culminating with
the destruction of Cervera’s fleet off
Santiago. A magnificent scenic effect
is made of the representation of the
historic event, which closes the play.
The Dawn of Freedom will be present-
ed here, complete in every detail, by
the original New York company, in-
cluding Mr. Gilmore, who is fast estab-
lishing his claim to be‘ considered the
leading young romantic actor of the
time.

Santiago’s Dead-Line.
It tells its own story, this grim,
honeycombed wall of the old arsenal at
Santiago. The bullet-holes in the
bricks afford some idea of the enor-
mous " number of ‘ executions which
have taken place here” during and pro-
bably before the long Struggle of the
Cubans for freedom. Cuba’s best blood
was, spilled time and again at the base
of this gray wall from the beginning
of the battle for independence. The
Spaniards have always given military
offenders and all others the shortest
more convenientto execute their pris;
oners in the way shown in our illustra
tion, taken from this week’s issue of
Harper’s Weekly. It seems from the
height of the majority of the bullet-
marks that in former executions the
prisoners stooderect instead of kneel-
ample of Spanish marksmanship.

SUGAR COMBINATION RUMOR.
Four Companies Said to Be Negotiating

finingr Company, the Glucose Sugar Rt;-

'f'AccQ‘i’difig to the story the negotia—
tions'i'xvere being carried on by inter—
ests independent, so far as their official
capacity" was concerned, of any of
these companies.
_ It was stated that the negotiations
might not result in success, but that a
syndicate was now in process of fer-
mation with this end in view.
The movement was further stated to
have the sympathy of the American
Sugar Refining Company interests and
the Glucose following, while no under-
standing had been reached with the.
Arbuc-klos and Doschers.
{epresentafives of the American
Sugar Refusing Company and the Do—

simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill With which it is

all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the

GOOD WORK, ‘ PR
l

When anything stands a test of over sixty years among a discriminating
’ people lilgg'thc Americans, and steadily increases in sale, it is pretty good
evidence';that there is merit somewhere. Such is the record of Brandreth’s
Pills.
In 1836, one year after they were introduced into the United States,
135,000 boxes were sold; and in 1897, 1,123,097 boxes were sold in this
country alone, not to speak of the large and increasing sales throughout the
world, where they have been on sale since I77o-ncarly .one hundred and
thirty years. ' Does’nl this speak volumes for the virtues of Brandrcth’s Pills?
That they actually perform all that is claimed for them, is conclusively
proved by the fact that those who regard them with the greatest favor are
those who have used them thetlongcst.
Brandtcth's Pills are purely vegetable, and are made of the highest class
goods obtainable. For two years every pill lies in the storehouse before it is
put on sale. This allows the medicine to mellow and soften, and explains
why the cathartic action of Brandreth's Pills is so certain and so easy. - The
system ncvcr becomes inurcd to them, they can be taken indefinitely, and if
stopped at any time, the functions will proceed to act in a natural manner.
They are the safest medicine to take yourself and the safest to give your
children. Sold throughout the world, both plain and sugar coated.
