sARAHs SCHEME.
An Audacious Theatrical Venture to the
Credit of the French Actress.

An Audacious Theatrical Venture to the
Credit of the French Actress.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 2s.-To Sarah
Bernhardt belongs the credit of project
ing the most audacious theatrical
scheme ON record. The ideA is q tour of
the world ON specially chartered
steamship of not less than 5000 tons,
carrying the company, scenery and In
cidentally, freight, to help defray the
expenses, which would be nearly $1,000
day. Henry e. Abbey was in close
consultation with Mr.. Speckles of the
Oceanic steamship line ON the subject
during his recent visit to this city. 1t
leaked out yesterday that he had almost
completed negotiations for the exclusive
use Of steamer of the Mariposa type
for two years. Madam Bernhardt has
figured out that by going round the
world 1t will be possible to play at all
the leading cities at the height of the
season in each place. The company can
live cheaply on shipboard, heavy freight
rates on scenery will be avoided and one
night stands be made possible even ir
the Orient. 1t is proposed to sail from
| Havre, touch at the Leading ports Of
Portugal and Spain, thence proceed tx
the Mediterranean along the river, run
ming ashore to visit Italian and French
| cities, Vienna, Buda Pesth, and Buchar
est. Thence the troop would go t.
| Paris, Alexandria and Carlo, through
the Suez Canal to Austria, China, Jap
an. Vancouvfe, San Francisco, the cites
Of Spanish America, the Argentine Re
public, Brazil, Cuba, and the Easter
coast of the United States. Then cross
ing the Atlantic the company woult
| finish its tour in London and Paris.

THE GRADE LOWERED.

A Seventh of the Red River Valley Crops
Destroyed Says Farmer DalrympIe.
ST. PAUL, Aug. Solver Dalrymple,
North Dakota's great wheat grower,
has returned from the west, and in con-
versation with reporter gave a full re-
port of the damage wrought by the frost
of last Sunday night in the Red river
valley. He estimates that it destroyed
about one-sevepth Of the entire wheat
crop in the valley from Fargo to the
British possessions The barley CROP
was uninjured as it had already been
harvested, and what little corn the farm
ers had was more or less damaged.
Three-fourths of the North pakota crop
is now harvested, but on the night OF
the first frost one-half of the wheat
acreage had been untouched by the hay-
vester. He says that all the wheat IN
cut at that time has had what is called
brand frost. This wheat viii be
equally as good f6r milling ppr-
poses as No. 1 hard, but the
farmers viii receive a grade lower.
IN explaining the action of the frost on
this uncut wheat he said that the
amount of damage would altogether de-
pend ON the condition Of the wheat
berry at the time of the frost. The
wheat standing which haa turned to
dough, but had not ripened, would not
be materially injured by this severe
frost. The wheat In the milk would bs
an entire loss whenever there was frost
below 80 degrees. For all this, be said
North Dakota would have wonderful
wheat crop, and he did not believe that i
had been overestimated. The farmers viii
naturally take great care in separating
the grades of wheat and their first cpi
viii be No. hard. He places little
confidence in the saving virtues of the
smudge. 1t is difficult. he says, to tel
whether the smoke has any effect what
ever in protecting the fields OF grain.

want the sluice Gates closed.

PINE CITY, Aug, 2S.-Considerable in
dignation is felt here over the opening
of the sluice gates of the Chengwatana
dam, the board of health having con
fined the sickness among children in
this vicinity to that cause. The low
river banks are thus left with large
amount of decaying vegetable matter
the stencil from which is the direc
cause of the illness. j. c. Miller, presi
dent of the board, has gone to ST. Pau
to consult Attorney General Clapp on
the matter before taking any legal steps
to keep the gates closed during the
warm weather.
