BANANAS ARE USEFUL.

They Grow Spontaneously and Contain
All tho Essentials to Sustain Life.
Wild varieties of banana have been
found in Ceylon, Cochin China and the
Philippines. These, of course, have
seeds, but they are inferior to the long,
cultivated varieties. The banana is cul-
tivated by suckers, and it is in this way
that the plant is perpetuatcd in
definitely.
The banana belongs to the lily fam
lily, and is n developed, tropical lily,
from which, by ages of cultivation, the
seeds have been eliminated, while the
fruit, for which it has been cultivated,
has greatly expanded. In relation to
the bearing qualities of this fruit, Hum
boldt, who carly saw the wonders of
the plant, said that the ground that
would grow ninety-nine pounds of pota-
toes would grow thirty three pounds Of
wheat, but that the same ground would
grow four thousand pounds of bananas.
The banana possesses all the essen
tials to the sustenance of life. OF wheat
alone, or potatoes alone, this cannot be
said. When taken as n steady diet the
banana is coolled-bakcd dry in the
green state, pulpcd and boiled in water
as soup or cut in slices and fried
The leaves OF the banana, often six
feet long and two feet wide, are tender,
according to the Youths Companion,
and the strong winds of the tropics soon
tear them in strips, thereby adding to
their grace and beauty. The banana
is Il fruit that beast and bird, as well as
man, are fond of, and the owner, when
lie lives in a sparscly-settled country,
must protect his plantation by n fence
of some thorny plant.

A sRILLIANr CONCERT.
Tho Machine Works Band Covers Itself
With Glory Last Night

Tho Machine Works Band Covers ltsoli
With Glory Last Night.
The concert OF the Machine Works
Band at the Opera House last night was
| a musical as we'll as a financial success
Tho band played to $500 house and
the audience listened with pleasure to
the musical event of the season.
Tho opening number, the overture
from Rossini's opera, "The Barber Of
Seville" by the full band, was rendered
with brilliant effect. Under Leader
John j. Keeley's skillful baton the
theme was developed in mastery man
ner. The tempo was perfect and the
execution wonderful. Few bands in the
country and none in the South excel
tho Machine Works Band in the virility
of it's work and the unities of action.
To play on parade and in tho critical at
mospEere of concert hall are essen
TALLY different, but tho. band proves
equal to either occasion and is at nome
in the delicate standings of classic
composition as we'll as in the ROBUST
delivery of march.
Mr.. Thomas Weighs cornet solo.
browns Autograph Polka" was we'll
delivered. Mr.. II. w. Smith deserves
especial mention for the precision and
artistic rendition of his tro L bone solo,
"Friendship's Polka" Miss Alice Van
Horn showed good technique in Weber's
Rondo Brilliant, but the brilliancy was
clouded by tho inability of the exquisite
toned Sohmer upright piano to carry
the volume of a grand.
The male chorus, Messrs. Branscomb.
Neal, Jones, Leary, Downs, Wood and
Snyder gave annie Laurie" with coed
effeot. Mr.. Snyder possesses fine deep
baritone, which he delivers in perfect
time and absolute precision of reading.
Miss Geilinger and Messrs. Leary and
Wood rendered the trio THE Mariners"
acceptably, though hardly up to concert
pitch. Mr.. Stiles clarionet solo was we'll
received.
The "Invitation to tho Dance" by
the band was a pleasing surprise to the
musical public, as it is only recently
that this strong composition has been
arranged for q full band, and it was
heard for the first time from the band
in Roanoke.
Koschat's Sunday in the Alps" by
the full male chorus, closed the pro-
gramme of one of the most acceptable
concerts ever given in the Opera House.
The audience was generous with en-
cores. Especial thanks are due to Prof.
Kelley for the high standard to which
he has brought the band, and to Prof.
p. G. Leary for his efforts toward MAX
ing the the other musical features a
great success. Mrs. Z. G. Leary was
the piano accompanist.
The proceeds of the concert will be
devoted to procuring instruments for
the band, which should feel encouraged
to repeat their performance at an early
date.

GOOD HOUSES.

THE TINES presents this morning the
statements Of the leading rental agents
of Roanoke. They agree in stating that
good properties are in active demand
and that the supply is insufficient.
There are as fine opportunities as
ever for profitable building operations
in Roanoke. Only good houses, however,
will prove profitable for rental purposes.
The extremely cheap structures which
we're rushed up during the boom period
are hard to rent. The Northern mechan-
los who are coming to this city are &C.
customed to good substantial houses, in
good neighborhoods, and will be content
with nothing less.
This year should witness the erection
OF 200 eight to ten.room houses to cost
from 1900 to $4,000 each. Such are in
more demand than any other class and
will sell on reasonably easy terms to
ready customers.

CHANGES IN THE BUSINESS AREA.

The present year will probably wit
mess the beginning ofimportant changes
In the business section Of Roanoke To
these changes there will be several con-
tributing factors.
First, the expansion Of the wholesale
district promises to be marked. The
whole of the railroad front from Roa-
noke street to Jefferson will be absorbed
by the Wholesale trade. The character
of the structures required for these bust
nesses is remarkably solid.
Salem avenue already shows the
beginning of the era of rebuilding and
Campbell street will probably double
the number of it's business houses
within a twelve month. The erection
of the Government building on Henry
street will strengthen the tendency of
6usiness growth toward Campbell
street.
The paving of the principal streets
~.Will be another factor in development.
Where the paving "a done there the
business will tond, Real estate values
will rise In the same direction and to
many times the cost of the paving.

Sho Was Sued by tho Administrators of
tho Estate of Charlotte Smith.
PHILADELPHIA, March 90. - The
supreme court yesterday affirmed the
decision of the court OF common pleas
of Philadelphia county in favor OF Mrs.
Della Parnell, mother of the late
Charles Stewart Parnell, the adr1inistra-
tor of the estate Of Charlotte Smith.
Tho facts upon which the question
arose are as follows:-In July. 1876,
Charlotte Smith deposited with Mrs.
Parnell 81, 53S to be devoted in her dis.
erection to speculation in stocks for the
benefit and risk of the owner The
money SO entrusted was applied by the
appellee in accordance with this under
standing and admittedly with good faith.
but the speculations were unsuccessful
and the money lost.
This fact Mrs. Parnell did not COM
municate to Miss Smith, but attempted
to retrieve the losses by using her own
money after the loss, remitting over
1000 to Miss Smith and allowing her
to believe that the money was tho gro
coed of her investment.
The conceal mont was from the best
motives, as Miss Smith was in i'll. heal tn
and Mrs. Parnell was afraid the dis
closure of the loss would be fatal.
After the death of Miss Smith the ad-
mihistrator brought suit to recover the
full amount of the money entrusted to
Mrs. Parnell on the ground that her
silence respecting the loss and the re-
mittances stop her from now showing
that fact
