A NEW COMMODITY.
GROWING DEMAND FOR RICE STRAW FOR
FORAGE, PACKING AND PAPER
MANUFACTURE.
IN. o. Democrat.l

yet but in the earliest beginning OF
development, and it would be haz-
ardous to say how many of her now
useless products will in the near flu
ture become sources ofrevenue and
wealth. Bagasse. that has been
ever an annoyance to the planter,
is now attracting the attention of
the manufacturer. and it is probable
before very long it will return to
the planter, as paper. handsome
profit for what was hitherto q use
less waste.
We now learn that there has late
ly sprung up demand for rice
straw that premises to be permanent
aud this demand has given a value
to it that will largely augment the
profit of rice culture. As is gener-
ally known, after the rice had been
harvested it was usual for the plant
er to place in stacks small gum
tity as forage for his stock during
the winter months, and the rest Was
made way with in one way and
another. Below the city the straw
was generally
THROWN IN THE RIVER,
and by strong currents was borne
along through the jetties and out
to the sea. 1t was considered us al
ways in the way, and ingenuity was
called upon to devise some means
of getting rid of it, SO that it would
not interfere with the threshing of
the rest of the rice crop.
Yesterday repol ter of the Demo-
crat had an interview with Mr. Syme,
one of the well-known proprietors Of
one of our largest rice mills here, on
this subject, and from him learned
much that has never before been
made public.
Mr.. Syme stated that rice straw
this year brings rs high rs
FOURTEEN DOLLARS PER TON
for feed for stock. 1t is particularly
suited for horses and meat cattle.
and planters have begun to turn
their atte ntiun to it us being most
valuable. 1t is also used for pack
ing purposes, such rs for crockery
or other articles that will not stand
rude shocks. Only the inferior kind
is employed for this, yet it brings
readily $40 per ton. From the
III the rice belt of
Louisiana to New Orleans the freight
on it is only 81 per ton, leaving the
balance IS net profit to the planter
1t requires no curing process, for
the reason that the time aud labor
taken to cure the rice itself before
it is threshed also cures the straw
at che same time, and the only ex-
pense of packing it in bales is for
the wire used as ties.
The man engaged at the thresh-
ing machine hitherto had to carry
the straw off to make room around
the machine, but now, instead of
losing that time, the same men
throw ii into baling press and |
turn it ont
MERcHANTABLE ARTICLE,
in the same time and without any
extra cost, except as has been said
before-the cost of the wire for ties
The exl eminent which was tried for
the first time. and successfully, was
this year on the plantation of Mr..
Benz amin Gibson, near Donaldson
Vile. He ordered an improved
hay press, the old-fash-
Toned presses not operating well.
After it had been packed in small
neat bales, it was shipped to Messrs.
Allen 4 Syme. and a ready sale
found for ii. Mr.. Gibson is packing
now large quantities of it, and it is
probable that all the rice planters

MdiIte's Legislatures.

Maine still rejoices in two Governors,
two Legislatures and two sets Of subor-
dinate State officers. On Monday last
1t looked as though the Fusionists wonld
ultimately yield and go over to the Re-
publicans in the State House, but yes
terday a reconciliation of differences
seems as far off as it did a week ago.
The Fusionists have procured public
hall for their meeting and from the tone
of the speeches of several leading men,
bers of the Legislature yesterday it may
be inferred that they have no present
intention of receding from their position.
They still have the advantage over the
Republicans in being possessed of the
Great Seal Of the State and the election
returns. One of the latest suggestion
made in the Fusionist Legislature is
that new set of questions be presented
to the Supreme Judicial Court for its
determination.

"EVADNE."

The event of the amusement season in
this city, so far, will be the appearance
of the beautiful Miss mary Anderson, on
Saturday evening next, in Shiel's play of
"Epddne". This play has meyer, been
present ed in thi, city, and in fact it has
seldom been presented at any theatre in
this country. This fact does not matter,
so long as Mary Anderson.is to present il.
The New York Times says Of the play:
Those persons who desire to see nj IS
Anderson at her best should not fail to
wituess her performance in "Evadne"
which was produced last night for the
first time this season at the Fifth Avenue
Theatre 1t might almost be said that
Nature, who is strangely beneficent in
some Of her gifts, shaped Miss Anderson
as a living embodiment Of the dramaiisl's
idea, With "Evadne" Miss Anderson is
in full sympathy. The character is one
that calls for ingenuoushess, simplicity,
tenderness herolsm-and degree ofpas-
sion. 1t is a character cut out of marble,
and vivifed, spiritual zed with soul.
Miss Anderson suggested this conception,
and she was earnest in her forts to rea-
lie IL. She made the most of her .opportu-
mites. At frequent intervals during the
play she r,se TO high degree of power !;
her large gestures, sweeping movements,
and resonant voice came into excellent
play. The second act, where Evadne re-
coils before Vicentio's accusation, her in
uignation was expressed with remarkable
force. In the street scene, where the un-
fortunate lovers are confronted by
Evadne's angry brother, her despair was
full OF strength. Finally, in the statue
scene, all her talents seemed TO combine
for an effective climax"

The Prospects for Ice.

THE ICE STORED IN WILMINGTON AND
TIE OUTLOOK RATHER GLOOMY
EIGHTEEN THOUSAND TONS IN
CoATESvILL, PA.
The ice outlook in Wilmington Is
rather gloomy. None Of the dealers
have any ice stored in their houses
around The city. Jacob Pusey Of No.
400 Shipley street owns Ice houses near
Coatesville, Pa, and in these he has
stored some $4,000 tons kept from last
winter. This be will have transported
to this city and will use it next summer
for his trade.
The Artic Ice aud Coal Company on
Second street have no ice lett over
from last wint,r AID are hoping for a
freeze yet to come so that they can gath
er supply from their ponds. If the
weather does not get cold enough to
form ice here, they will depend upon
getting supply from Maine. An en-
ployee of the company, who has often
observed the freezing of ice, told GA
zETTE reporter that it is not an unusual
thing for a "freeze- up" as late as the
middle of February.
The Messrs. Walton are expecting to
get their supply from the Kennebec un-
less fortunate freeze comes.
1t is generally noticed that IN seasons
when the ice crop fails here that the
price is much higher than when home
supply is gathered. 1t is quite likely
that southern dealers will have difficulty
in getting all the ice they want, because
the crop there is short, and "corner in
ice" is in prospect.
