LOthrOp'S Opera House.

"The Heart of the sierras" is the at
traction announced at Lothrop's, Opera
House every afternoon and evening next
week, with the usual children's matinee
on Saturday afternoon, to which admis-
sion with reserved seat will be but ten
cents to all parts or the house for pupils
of the public schools. The story is q very
interesting one, aud is replete with sensa-
tional climsxes and startling denouement.
Every scene takes place in the open air,
amid rocky passes or wooded clumps, ex-
cepting one. which occurs inside hut
in the woods. The prologue finds party
OF travellers on the great American
desert, suffering from lack OF food and
water. An old man In the group dies
from exhaustion, and before expiring
leaves his large fortune to a member OF
the party in trust for the little girl, the
diving mans daughter. AS the play pro-
ceeus this little girl hss become young
woman, and is shown a. u maiden OF the
forests and mountains. There she has
lived and learned all she knows, and ac-
quired that odd dialect OF slang and queer
pronunc iation that SO charms an Eastern
audience.
rhe son OF the trustee OF the fortune
plays the girl false whenever he can, and
the whole story tells Of her almost single
handed struggles against his villainy,
aimed both AT her fortune and at her
honor She protected by sort OF
human watchdog. an Indian, who by
mistake shoots the girPs lover; but that
as all else, ends hsppily. Miss Dallas
will appear in the soubret role OF Chisps,
a part similsr to M'liss. and IN IL she will
have ample opportunities OF display ing
her versatility. Her support includes the
following; Harry Leighton, Frederick
Murray, Mark Ellsworth, Park Hughes,
Joseph ". Walsh, Alexander Gaden. Sam
uel A. Evans, William Dale. Miss Jennie
Swift, Mis- Nina Freeth, Miss Cora Will
iams.

Japan as Americas Factory,

There will probably now be an increased
demand from Japan for American goods
The country already takes s14OOO,OOO worth
of American raw cotton every year. It has
been buying, and will continue to buy,
American machinery, but the great trade
between America and Japan in the future
is to be in shipping American raw mate
rails to Japan and bringing back japanese
products to America. The money to be
made by Americans will be largely through
their better knowledge of the American
markets and American needs The Japan
csc can make anything that We can. They
can produce what we need at less cost
than we can make it ourselves, and unless
a high protective tariff Is raised against
Asia, that country will become the factory
for America. The actual necessities of a
Japanese laborer are not more than %
cents a day. Our laborers cannot live on
less than a dollar a day, and % cents in
ten hours will beat from 81 to So and eight
hours every time. A Japanese laborer's
house can be furnished for So He sleeps
on the floor and uses neither tables nor
chairs. His cooking stove is a clay oven
worth about so cents, and his carpets and
bedding cost practically nothing in COM
parison with ours. There are IS, 600, 900 peo-
family this would make Il, 00O, 600 families.
Hardly one of these families has a cooking
stove which cost less than $40. or $3.50
more than the japanese has to pay for his.

From the Chicago Record.
Il believe" said country banker, that
at least . per cent of all notes that go
through our bank are forgeries. There Is
a curiously loose notion as to the crime of
forgery, and again and again I have had
men propose to sign to note the name of
neighbor who was at an inconvenient dis
lance. In such cases it was well known
that the man whose name was to be forged
was willing to go upon the note, but have
no doubt that wealthy mems names are
constantly used upon notes that they never
saw. The notes are taken up by the payee,
and nothing is heard of the forgery. For
every such forgery detected there are many
that rever come to light.
