Eulalia Takes to Jonny Cake
7m the Chicago Times.7

From the Chicago Timesl
Among the tastes which the Princess
Eulalia has acquired since her arrival
in America is a strong one for corn
bread. This is what Col. J. G. Muir
ply says, and he is the corn man of
the Department of Agriculture.
''Some days ago in Washington,
when looking over the bill of fare Of
the dinner given the Infanta, I no.
ticed that corn bread was not men
toned" he said yesterday after regis
tering his name at the Grand Pacific.
81 asked the proprietor of the Ar
lington the reason for this, and he
said sweet corn was not in season and
there was no need to have corn bread
on the bill of fare because the Prin-
cess insisted on it being served at
every meal. When the infanta first
got to the hotel in Washington all
kinds of bread were placed on the
table and the royal guest picsed out
some corn mullins as the most tooth
some of the lot. She is fond of hav-
ing them toasted, too, which is rather
unusual with US. The day of ner ar
rival the Princess in dining at the
Palmer House asked right away for
corn mullins" "

CANA, N. c., June 12.-Farmers are
now cutting wheat. The grain is
good, but 1 hear complaint of smut.
Also there is some rust on late wheat.
They are in quandary as to wheth-
er they had better cut wheat or ploW
their bottom corn, which is just in
condition to work. The recent rains
have enabled General Green" to get
few turns ahead. So farmers have
something more to do than tosscratch
their heads. Oats are still O. X.
Corn looking fine where it has been
well worked Tobacco is gaining
some on the insects. L heard one
farmer say there were 100000 on
his potatoes.
There was considerable hay put

1T looks as if the treasury will be
able to stand any assaults that may
be made upon it, between now and
the assembling of Congress. 1t is a
public blessing tnat Mr.. Carlisle is at
the head of the Treasury Department.
He is sound and safe upon every ques-

the courage and capacity equal to the
emergency. Other men might waver

al point is the repeal of the Sherman
law and the release of the govern

ing silver with gold"

PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT
Given by HomG Talent at Browns Opera
House.
WITNESSED BY A LARGE AUDIENCE.

|
Comic Opera, 'The Mikado," Rem
dered in Manner That Would
Have Done Honor to a Company of
Prefessionals-Casto of Chars cters.
The performance of Gilbert &rSulli-
vans popular comic opera, 'The Mika-
do" at the Opera House June 18th by
Winston-Salem people was, we vent
ure to say, one Of the most pleasing
and satisfactory entertainments of
its kind ever given here. 1t was cred
liable in every way, and large audi
ence took frequent occasion to mani
fest its pleasure.
The cast of characters was as fol-
lows:
The Mikado, Harry L. Tansill:
Nanki-Poo, David T. Huyck; Ko-ko,
Clarence r. Brown; Pooh-Bah, XII
brella Carrier, Jim Wiley; Yum Y um,
Mrs Fannie E. HELEN; Pitti-Sing,
Miss Patti Isaacs; Peep-Bo. Miss Rosa
Ellis; Katisha, Mrs. Annie Jones
Sprinkle.
There was also an excellent chorus
and Mrs. Robt. Hendricks was the ac-
ceptable accompanist.
The first to win the favor of the
audience was Mr.. Huyck whose sing
ing was very good, and then Mr.. Chick
made an excellent impression. XII
Lofts bass voice was heard with
pleasure and his manner was cool and
dignified throughout. Mr.. Clarence
r. Brown, perhaps more than any
other, realized the comic conception
of the argument and from first to last
combined excellent qualities of voice
and action. Mr.. Tansill eXcelled in
voice rather than in action. The re-
verse of this must be said of Mr.. Jim
Wiley whose makeup caused him to
look like cross between Ben Butler
and Susan B. Anthony.
o. the ladies we have no words but
those of praise. 1t was pleasure to
hear the sweet voice of Mrs. HELEN,
the high clear tones of Mrs. Annie
Jones-Sprinkle, the fine solo of Miss
Isaacs and the delicate singing of
Miss Ellis. In acting, however, they
were not quite the equal of the men.
There was not apparent to the audi
ence hitch in the whole performance.
1t went along as smoothly as though
by company of professionals. The
duets and trios were all well sung and
the chorus gave good assistance on
to he found with the costuming of the
characters; there was not, however,
sufficient instrumental music.
1t is not usual even for professional
companies, to have huge rat run
across the stage between acts. 1t
spoke volumes for the bravery of our
Southern women that not one of them
screamed, nor did any one seek refuge
on a chair.

Making Bread by Electricity.

CHICAGO, June 13.-Miss Louise
johnson gave an exhibition of making
bread by electricity. Her audience
consisted principally of housewives,
who manifested great interest in
the demonstration. The heat en-
ployed is over 100 degrees less than
used in gas and CRATE ovens. Miss
Johnson turned the current on the
wires until 25 degrees had been at
tanned. The current was then turned
off and the dough placed in the oven.
In 4S minutes it had been cooked.
Electricity makes a damp heat, not
unlike gas or coal. 1t is claimed for
it that it can be much better rcgu-
lated than any other process.
