This play, with which the Alcazar, altered and
renovated, reopens this evening, Is written In
the authors best and brightest vein, and, like
most of his work, appeals TO all classes. The
story is laid in The South, and the bruit OF the
cOulsses is TO the effect that Mr.. Beach, The new
leading man, assumes the role Of Edward Wal
ton with an ease, grace aud manliness that indi-
cate The Southern gentleman. The story is
started il New Orleans and carried thence to
Florida, and In every scene the atmosphere OF
Southern life Is preserved and accentuaied with
wonderful fidelity. The handsome, impulslve
Southern gentleman, Edward Walton, is sharply
coDIrasted with The malevolent octOToOn, George,
while tie typicai dueist and gentlemanly des-
perado is in Richard Singleton like page torn
out of old Louisiana lie. Mr.. Gable himself will

carries out This discriminating virtue.

j. i. H. writes in The Rural New
Yorker: In part Of England with which
| was very familiar the farmers had
plenty of ice for the hot weather. which
they procured in this way: They had
sheet iron receptacles made three feet
long by two wide and one deep, clamped
at the four sides, and these they filed,
during the frosty weather. with spring
or well water, and exposed TO the atmos-
phere until their contents were frozen.
Then they undid the clamps, leaving the
four sides loose, and it was a very easy
matter to extract the coagulated mass,
wheel it to the ice house, reclamp the
receptacles and refill with the pure water,
and SO on, until in few days or weeks,
according TO the severity of the weather,
their ice houses would be plenteously
stocked Is not this feasible method
for the farmers Of this country to try?
The editor Of The Rural New Yorker
remarks: Ordinary freezing weather will
produce the ice If the water is poured
into the iron pans in small quantities.
The Rural New Yorker once tried this
method, using some old iron sinks al
freezing pans In order to get the ice
out of the sinks we turned them over
and poured hot water on the bottoms.
One advantage Of this method il that
one can make ice of pure spring or well
water. The man who provides himself
with a large outfit Of pans viii be sur
p1ised to see how much ice he can pro
duce on an ordinarily cold day.
