Little Lord Fnuntlcroy" To night.

THE management of Little Lord
Fauntleroy have learned, since booking
this place, that there has been given
here a play purporting to be Little
Lord Fauntleroy.' This will be the
great production of the real play by
Mrs. Frances lIodgeson Burnette. The
great success of this charming comedy
has led irresponsible persons to pirate
the name and produce, under the title,
mutilated versions, or cheap dramatiza-
tions from the story. This play is in
manuscript form only. and no one can
legally produce it except by right
obtained from II. Henry French, Mrs.
Burnette's American agent.
These rights are now held solely and
entirely by Carl A. Haswin, who made
the charac ter of the Earl of Dorincourt
famous, and who brings with him the
Same metropolis company with which
he closed his spring season in New
York city this year. The same style
settings, including the antique tapes.
tries which were used in tho original
production at the Broadway Theatre,
Now York, will be used here and tho
play will be given with the same care
full attention to detail and harmonious
effect that made it tho talk of New
York city for tho six months that it
played to packed houses.

FOR A TEMPORARY HOSPITAL.

A Movement to Supply the Immediate
Needs.
1t looks now like Roanoke will soon
have hospital. This is long-felt
want and the need of it has been i'm
minent for some time. Only fow
nights ago a man was picked up with a
broken leg and had to be carried to the
city almshouse for the want of better
place, and then not until he had spent
tho night in the necessarily uncom-
Portable station house and that, too,
without the attendance of surgeon.
Mr.. II. II. Fishburne, chairman of the
hospital committee, has recently re-
ceived check for $500, donated by Mr..
A. A. ii. Bosswain, of Amsterdam. Mr..
Fishburno stated that the Society of the
Kings Daughters had made the propo-
sition that if the committee would Sc
cure a house that the society would
furnish it and fit it up ready for the re-
ception of patients. The committee
have secured the option OH several
houses and will submit them TO the
ladies for selection.
These ladies will get together as soon
as possible and take immediate action,
and think they will be able to open in
three weeks. This is only temporary
arrangement, and the work on the per-
manent hospital will be commenced at
an early date.

sMOKELEss POWDER TESTS.
Successful Trials With -Four and
Eight-Inch Guns.

Some very gratifying results have been OBJ
tanned with handmade sample of smoke
less powder at the naval ordnance proving
ground at Indian Head, near Washington.
The tests with the powder made by the Ord
nance Bureaus chemist at Newport. r. l..
have hitherto been confined to small arms,
including the one, three, au1 six
pound guns and the four-inch rapid-fire
gun. promising results having been
obtained in all cases. With charges about
one-half those used with ordinary powders
the velocities were increased from $50 to 200
foot seconds, with no increase of chamber
pressure. The Naval Chief of Ordnance at
the time expressed the hope that smokeless
powder might come into exclusive use in all
guns of six-incn calibre and below it.
The test which has just taken place was
with q four-inch gun and with an eight-inch
gun. In the former weapon a thirty three
pound proiectlle was used, with a powder
charge of five and a half pounds. The
velocity obtained was 216O foot seconds. ct q
pressure of 1916 tons. In the case of
the eight-inch gun an eighty pound
projectile was used. as is done in the
foreign services. The powder charge was
sixteen pounds, and there was developed a
velocity of PALS foot seconds and pressure
ably with those obtained abroad under much
better conditions.
This seems to settle the question, if any
ever existed, of the merit Of the naval
smokeless powder.

BLOWN INTO ATOMS,
Nine Russian Workmen Perish at a
Smokeless Powder Factory.


st, Petersburg, Russia, was thrown into a
state of the most intense excitement the 9TH
er night by a most terrific explosion. So
much has been heard here lately of the fiend-
ish work of Anarchists that for a time
every one believed that they had attempted
to destroy some of the public buildings.
1t was soon learned, however, that the ex-
plosion was due to an accident at the State
factory for the manufacture OF smokeess
powder, where five tons of gun cotton had
exploded.
The shock was tremendous. The whole
city was shaken, and houses swaye1 on their
foundations as though from the effects of an
earthquake. The building in which the gun
cotton had been stored was blown into spin
tiers.
Nine workmen were in the building when
the explosion took place and every one of
them was blown to pieces. Some OF their
limbs were found $50 yards away from the
building.
Houses a mile and quarter away from
the scene were made to oscillate by the shock
of the explosion. Windows were shattered.
and crocKery and glassware were thrown to
the floor and smashed. The loss from these
causes alone will be quite heavy.
There Is no possible way OF ascertaining
how the explosion occurred as every man in
the gun cotton building is dead 1t is
thought that it was due to c&relessness.
