Tonight the famous romantic actor James
oNeilI so favcrably known to, Augusta
theatre-goers, will appear at the Opera
house, in "Virginius." That Mr.. O'Neill
is as successful in "Virginius" as in Monte
Christie" is shown by the following from the
Bangor Wing and Courier of September 7 !:
Mr.. ONeill made his first appearance in
"Virginius" at the Opera house last night,
and the verdict of the large audience was
entirely favorable to his portrayal of that
Difficult. role. He rises to the emotional re-
quirements of the character, and his mobile
face, resonant, powerful voice and strong
physical presence make his acting exceed
ingly feet tive.
In Mr.. O'Neill. John Mccullough has an
able successor and one who will continue to
keep ''Virginius" before the public with
most presentable effect. His excellent work
last night was deservedly recognized by two
curtain calls, one of which was double
call, and the audience evidently appre-
ciated and enjoyed the performance.
The play was produced with come special
scenery, the Forum set being particularly
realistic. and appropriate costumes.

KENhEBEC ICE.
Something About the Crop Of The Frozen
Luxury Of 1894.

eff icemen, or other men, only knew as
much as they talk of future events, how
apparently easily matters could be ar
ranged! Last year, 'icemen,' whom we
have held up for their general good judy
ment, predicted the Maine industry played
out. 1t was only question of time when
the Kennebec houses would soon rot down,
for no company would rebuild and few
would attempt to keep up their property.
Really, heard so much that, although
was raised on block of ice, was about to
try something more mild than Maine win
tiers. We have heard much of machines,
costing fabulous sums of money, during
the spring, since June came, but the mat
ter has quoted down now, and machine
men seem as unconcerned about the in
come tax this fall as hold men on the Ken
nebec. What is the result? Last winter,
all the merchantable ice cultivated was
housed, cutting out this usual speculative
tonnage of sap ice in great part, which
has in the past caused much trouble and loss
to whoever handled it. The crop was the
largest, excepting that of 1890, and the
shipments from Maine this year full equal
that. 1 do not find any records of ship
ments as large from Maine as during the
months of June, July and August, this
year. Our estimate on March 81 was,
Kennebec, l,057 900 tons. To empty this
capacity, on an average of seven months
shipping season, would be Isl 900 tons per
month, or 5000 tons each day! This has
been exceeded during July and August, yet
by the carefully prepared statistics l send
you of ice in the houses on August 90, l
find $50 900 tons, with 20 days remaining
of our seasons shipping. On the same av-
erage this will empty our houses. l will
mention this as the facts now exist, as my
estimate of the Kennebec showed sufficient
to fill the supply and would only be emp
tied under favorable conditions.
1.-THE Penobscot will show still more
favorably, and shippers expect to empty
early, providing they can find market for
some 80 900 tons now unsOld. And want
to say word to Penobscot and Kennebe C
shippers who are loading ice under cor :
tract and inspection. In case they should
lose their contracts they may know one of
the reasons if not all if not all. Their ice,
besides being understandable from Il e
fact that their tools or fit up are not equal
permanent places. There foreman cor
slider it smart (and have several in mind) I,
.carless and clever men, to slip on board
when an opportunity offers, soft, sap and
rough ice. This they consider clear gain !;
and also these superintendents and vessel
captains erowl to honest weight masters IS
to short weights, etc. Companies discharg-
inc this ice can see its condition. No one
can receive more benefit from honest
weight, clear, hard and square ice, than the
shipper. A smart and honest inspector
benefits the shipper equally as much at
cost to the consignee. Whom this hits,
think it over"
Following is the amount of ice on hand
on the Kennebec, August 20, 1894:

FIRE ON cUsHK0c HEIGHTS.
One Of 4. T. FuIIer's Houses Burned, Occu
pied BY Eastwood Family.

The fire alarm sounded, Friday after
noon, at 3.42, for the first time for fire
since it was transferred from the f. c. Al
len building to the Augusta Lumber Com
pany's mill, and it was plainly heard all
over the city, judging from the stir in every
direction.
The fire was on Cushnoc Heights, Frank
lin street, in two-story tenement house,
owned by A. T. Fuller, and occupied by a
family named Eastwood. in the upper
story, while the lower one was empty.
From the best information, it seemed
that the fire caught in little shed about
eight feet from the ell Of the house, from a
kettle of ashes having Goals in it,
being placed near barrel of kerosene, and
in some way igniting with the oil, which
soon made great outburst of flames, de-
s.roying the shed in short time.
The FIRE department readily responded, las
usual, making their way through the streets,
which were alive with teams, all en- route to
the FIRE. About four minutes after the
alarm was sent in from box 20, at the coz
ner of Oxford street and Northern avenue,
the smoke began to roll up in great clouds,
and for few minutes it seemed as though
though great fire was in progress.
The flames soon reached the house, and
the people living in the next dwelling began
to take up their beds and walk.
A serious drawba was the lack of water,
it having been shut off north of Bridge
street, while the new force main was being
laid. Alex McCausland had presence OF
mind to think of this, and soon had the
horses attached to the steamer, which made
quite pull for them up the long hill. The
steamer was stationed near the old school
house on Kendall itreet, and at 4.OS the
first water was put on, and the fire was
soon under control as far as burning any
of the buildings close by. The steamer
had to draft water from the reservoirs. Had
the water been on it could have been pro-
cured from two hydrsnts but short dis
dance away, thus furnishing a supply sufii'
Gent to extinguish the blaze before 1t
reached the main part of the house.
The fire department worked from
o'clock till 5.45, when the all out alarm
was rung In.
The loss Of the building will be about
$500, insured in Macomber's agency, anc
the loss of furniture was slight, insured in
Downing's agency.

Hon. Henry 3. Cleares, Portland, Maine.
My DEAR GOVERNOR Il have Just COM

PARTICULAR PRoviDENCEs.

The doctrine of particular Providence Is
doctrine fraught with the greatest consola-
ton to mankind, who are born to sorrow.
Not only is it that nothing can happen but
what God permits-nothing can happen but
what he enjoins. The notion Of God should
not be that he has Lit up the sun. and given
the winds power to roam through the world;
but rather that his glance is in every beam,
and his breath in every breeze.
The idea shall not be entertained, that after
giving life to men, God concerns himself no
more with his creatures but rather that
through his special interference Is that
breath follows breath, and pulse succeeds
pulse: so that in every trouble and in every
joy-in every hope which rises to cheer, and In
every doubt which darkens, the hand OF God
may be discerned, producing out of thou
sand seeming ills. and a thousand apparent
discrepancies, not only general, but an in
dividual good.
And how much of consolation is there to q
heart when deeply stricken with sorrow, to
be able to feel that all Affections are sent for
a wise purpose, and that there is bright
kingdom hereafter, where pain shall have no
entrance. 1t would go far to dry mothers
tears, which the death of her child has caused
to flow, il she could be thus persuaded to re-
gard the dealings Of God.
It would be to take half the bitterness from
sorrow, II she could be made to feel that in
allowing death to take her child, God has
been dealing both kindly and gently. in that
he has removed it from the world when the
heart was innocent, and pain and sorrow
scarcely known.-Dr Gregory.

SOWING CLOVER SEED.

Upon farming land that is cultivat-
ed by crop rotation, clover should be
sown if it is practicable to do so. For
enriching the soil clover is no doubt
one Of the best leguminous plants, as
it grows rank and sends its roots down
deep into the soil. However, where
permanent pasture or meadow is de-
sired, timothy should be sown with
clover at TIC rate of four quarts of
timothy to five or six quarts of clover.
The first year the clover will be prom
inent, the next year less clover, and
the third year wholly timothy. For
the benefit to the soil the next season
after seeding, wholly with clover, if
of the medium red variety, it should
be cut in June or early in July for
hay, and later for seed. This double
cropping sends the roots deeper in
the soil, which is just what is wanted,
and is found to be more beneficial
than simply close pasturing. Alsike
does we'll, makes good hay, but does
not enrich the soil like red clover.
Alfalfa will be the best for dry eli
mates. Agriculturist.
