Mrs Jennings late of Wallacks Theater will be remem-
bered comedy actress Of large experience and genu
ine ability Miss Ethel, with much TO learn an artist
potent charm OF delicate beauty and an ex
traOrdnary winning temperament. Miss Mestayer is as
good an actress Of old Of character our stage
now possesses In juvenile romantic parts Miss Kitty
Blanchard has proved efficient and popular For the
cOarser line Of chambermads Miss Jennie Lee has
shown herself to be eminently fitted. She played last
season at Niblos Garden Miss Mary Griswold is the
clever Little lady whose acting impaired interest to the
dramatic grations Of Mr. ]. S. Maekaye, last Winter
the 81 James. Miss Kate Holland Is the amiable and
interesting daughter of the old comedian George Ho

The Fruit Crop of Michigan.

The Spring Lake (Mich). Hdependent
says Fruit growers in the vicinity Of
Frankfort report the prospects for beau
tiiul crop the coming season to be even
more fattering than one year ago. While
we have had an unusual amount Of snow
and cold winds, yet the thermometer in
dicated bat four degrees below zero, the
coolest morning we have yet had, while
the mercury has marked seventeen de
grees below zero at Milwaukee, on the
opposite side Of lake, at Chicago, one hun
dred miles south, it has been eighteen
degrees below zero, and at St Joseph,
eighty miles south, ten degrees below
zero. Thus it will be seen that the lakes
and lakelets have been great protection
OF the fruit belt" Within a radius Of
three miles from our village there have
been 10000 peach trees set out during
the past four years, besides large quan
tlty OF other fruits. An effort is being
made TO secure location of an extensive
fruit preseryingand drying establish ment
here at once.
