Grand-.sThe Ensign"

An Unexpectedly large audience braved the
cold last night and went to the Grand to
witness a production of William Haworth's
THE Ensign" This drama with its thrill
ing climaxes and containing enough of tech
meal details to be styled a naval play has
served to interest the public for several
years. The picturesque and heroic char
acter of Coxwain Jack Dudley never fails
to arouse boisterous demonstrations and
last night Jack received several curtain
calls. James Brophy was sufficiently strong
and impulsive for the role of Ensign Ben
Baird. the character from which the play
takes its name, and was also honored with
a call after the fourth act. Logan Paul
was enthusiastically received when he APP
peared in the character of President Lin
coin, but his work as the villainous renegade
was worth many times more praise. Marl-
borough Hardy plays one of the few unob-
j~ectionable Englishmen on the American
stage and is one of the favorites of ''The
Ensign company. Esther Lyon makes an
acceptable Alice Greer, but too much praise
cannot be offered bright little Edith Wright.

at plymouth Church, the third of the
series. was Through the Heart of the
Moorish Empire The pictures were
grand. and the experiences of the lecturer
In securing them were exciting and of
much interest, beginning with the tribal
hostilities ana closing with the arrival of
the young Sultan at R'bat. The last of
the series will be given this afternoon.
at 2:30, when the cilies of Japan will be
shown. These will include the ancient and
modern capitals. ana pictures of many of
the untraveled corners of the inland sea.
Japan has been playing a conspicuous part
in the history of the world, and anything
relative to the powerful little island is of
particular interest. Mr.. Holmes has Sc
cured pictures that are not shown by any
one else. as he made it a purpose of his
travels TO visit places which the ordinary
traveller does not touch. The lectures and
talks are not only amusing and exceedingly
enjoyable, but instructive. Mr.. Holmes
liahtens the facts of history with many
interesting incidents.

Chicago Change.


 Chicago, July 31.-Wheat began below where it left off last night and with occa- sional interruptions, whilst the bears took their profits continued it's descending course through the session, scattered liquidation of ''long'' wheat and steady selling by be- lievers in a lower standard of valnes kept prices on the move all day. Shortly before the close there were few more buyers than offerings could quite accommodate and nearly moderate rally occurred. The day developed no new features of the situation and holders disposed of their wheat at a sacrifice. September wheat opened from 702 to 701ac, declined to 6S1sQ6sAc, closing at 69asc, 13sG1l2c lower than yesterday. Cash wheat was weak and from 1 to 11ac per bushel lower.
 The followers of corn were either out of the town or in hiding. Very few traders as a matter of fact the offerings did not indicate any aggressive activity on the part of short sellers. narrow range and an easy. tone explains the condition of today s market. September corn opened at 42%c, sold between 43 and 42Ssc, closing at 424s1 42Mc, A43sc under yesterday. Cash corn was steady to Ac lower.
 Oats kept in about the same relative posi- ton as corn. No particular trading took place, the transactions consisting mainly of light scalping operations for local account. September oats closed Ac lower than yes terday. Cash oats were easy to steady.

BIRMINeHAM AGE-HERALD. IHURsDAY, AUeUsT |, 1a95.

Too much rain in Louisiana and Arkansas. too much grass in Mississippi, shedding in the carolinas, Florida and Louisiana, and irregularity of the size of the plant in Texas, where, moreover. it is one to three weeks late, were features not calculated to make the shorts content to stand by their posi- tion. On the contrary there was a good deal of covering owing to this adverse crop news. and prices made a very fair advance considering the continued narrowness of the market Liverpool opened easier, but closed slightly higher and the spot sales there was larger, while here in New York very good spot demand prevailed at some advance. It is understood that large business has been done in spot cotton here of late than has been officially reported. The .speculators have been disposed to hold off for while, waiting further developments, but there is no doubt that the bears were less confident today.

TELEGRAPHING WITHOUT WIRE.
Tesla Is Convinced of the Practicabiity of
 the Scheme.

Tesla Is Convinced of the Practicability of
 the Scheme.
 In connection with resonance effects and the problem of transmission of en- ergy over single conductor, writes Tesla in the Century, I would say few words on subject which concerns the welfare of all I mean the transmission of in- telligible signals, or perhaps even power, to any distance without the use of wires I am becoming, daily more convinced of the practicability of the scheme; and though know full well that the majority of scientific men willnot believe that such results can be practically and immedi- ately realized, yet I think that all con- slider the developments of recent years by a number of workers to have been such as to encourage thought and ex- pertinent in this direction. My convic- tion has grown so strong that no longer look upon this plan of energy or intelli- gence transmission as mere theoretical possibility, but as serious problem in electrical engineering which must be car ried out some day.
 The idea of transmitting intelligenca without wire is the natural outcome of the most recent results in electrical inves- tigations. Some enthusiasts have ex- pressed their belief that telephony to any distance by induction through the air is possible. I cannot stretch my imagina. tion so far, but firmly believe that it is practicable to disturb by means of DOW erful machines the elestrostatic condition of the earth and thus transmit intelligible signals and. perhaps, power. In fact. what Is there against the carrying out of such scheme? We now know that electric vibration may be transmitted through single conductor. Why, then. not try to avail ourselves of the earth for
