A Successful Attempt Made Last
Night at the Grand.
Visitors and regular habitues Of
the opera house were disappointed
last night on attending the pre-
sentation Of "Peck's Bad Boy" by
the Barry j. Deane company, if
they expected a poor entertain
ment. The house was filled with a
very large audience, composed alike
Of visitors and home people. The
atmosphere inside the auditorium
was cooler than outside, caused by
the noiseless electric fans provided
by Manager Kaighn. OF the
company in the cast Mr.. Deane
was the leader Of the comedy
work as the "Bad boy" and
Jack Witt was his chum. Both
were prime favorites with the au.
dience.
A hit was made by Chas. Ray
nard as Cuckoo, the tramp, and in
his old negro characterizations.
The entire company acquitted
themselves with credit in the COM
edy and in the sp~ecialties, the lat
ter being given by Barry Dean,
VIII f. Kimble, Miss Blanch
Adams.
Messrs. Schuetze, Steele and
Schuetze, in mandolin and guitar
selections, were enthusiastically re.
ceived and heartily encored several
times.
The play will be repeated Satur.

Sherman on Silver Divisions

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 6.--Sen-
ator Sherman was asked what sig
~nificance he attached to the Demo-
cratic silver convention in 1lli-
nois:
81 think" he replied "that the
Democratic party will be hopeless
ly divided on the silver question.
it may be that in Illinois the Alt
gelt following will commit the
state to free silver, but the Demo-
Gratis in the east will never con-
sent to it. L think the Demo-
cratic party will split hopelessly
on the rock. In our party it is
different. l think that even the
Republicans in the far western
states will before long be for the
coinage OF silver in limited
amounts when needed. THE
recent discoveries of gold and a di-
versity of interests in that section
Of the country, which will tend to-
ward a more moderate feeling on
the part of western people on the
silver question"

Poor Car Service.

The power was cut of the
Citizens electric street carline yes
tes day afternoon, as the crowds
wsre returning from Riverside
park. This always happens on our
car lines when we have a crowd OF
strangers with us and want to
show off everything nice about our
city. It's poor advertisement for
any town to have inadequate
street car service.
This applies to every street rail-

West End line, on account Of lack
Of power and stoppage OF traffic

New YORK. June GA. H. Hum
mel, Of the law firm OF Howe &
Hummel, when asked II there was
any truth in the story that Mrs. J.
]. Corbett would sue her husband
for absolute divorce, declined to
make any statement.
Mr.. Lake, the father Of Mrs. Cor

hands of Howe & Hummel. My
daughter is very i'll indeed and
very much worried. She visited her
counsel about the matter, but she
would not say if the suit has been
commenced. II not, it will be. Jim

some time. This woman who will

mastero over him that he does not
know what he is doing. He brought
her to this city only a short time
ago and they stayed together in
the same hotel for three weeks. 1

has refused to give me any particu-

Hit the Tiger Hard.

A young sport who has been
living on ozone and free lunches
for the past six MONTHS, made $15
a few days ago distributing some
ADVERTISING matter. He conclud-
ed that was not enough to buy a
$3.50 suit at a Monday sale, visited
one of the tiger shops on the west
side, and by getting down on the
right spots, struck MI. Tiger for
about $1,000. The keepers Of the
den we're wild with excitement,
but their agony has been relieved,
for when the young sport had
spent only a small amount for
drinks and other refreshments, he
was inveigled back into the den,
when the tiger succeeded in raking
in most all the chestnuts again.
Foolish young man, when he had
the tigers claws so we'll trimmed
he should have went straight to
one Of our solid banks, and deposit
ed his earnings for a rainy day.

The proposition to fix the time
Of meeting Of the convention here
after to some time between May l
to September l, was amended to
"from May l to July 1,"dates to be

In order to make the most out Of tire
feed and the animal the feeding must
be regular Animals will not and can
not thrive when their food is given to
them rregularly-when it happens to
suit the convenience of the feeder. Ir-
regular feeding disturbs and deranges
the organs OF digestion. If the food is
given before the regular time the stom-
ach is overloaded or the organs put to
work before they have fully recovered
from disposifg of the previous meal
The work of digestion and assimilation
is iInperfectly done, and there is a loss
of food. If the feeding is delayed be-
yond the usual time, the animal gets
so hungry that the food is eaten hur-
riedIy, not properly masticated, and,
of course, cannot all be digested, and
more or less is lost.
Nature is regular in her work, and
II the waste in feeding is avoided the
animal must be supplied regularly. .
Liberal feeding is another essential
A certain quantity of food is necessary
to sustain animal life and repair the
daily waste of the system. It is only
from the food consumed over and
above this that profit can be derived.
Hence; other things being equal, the
most profita bic animal Is the one kept
at the maximum gain consistent with
good health and thrift Generally the
appetite of the animal is the best
guide. Feed all that is eaten up clean,
but no more. When more is given it is
wasted.
There must be good variety of food
to keep the animal with a good appe-
tite and supply all the needs of sys-
tenn to secure the best gains at the
lowest cost. Feed variety of foods,
taking care to make up a complete
ration. The more fully this is done
the better viii be the gain in proper
ton to the food consumed. One other
essential is to have the food of good
quality Good health is essential to
thrift, and this can only be maintained
when sound, nutritious food and pure
water are supplied. Poor or unwhole-
some food or impure water, while it
may not induce actual disease, pro-
duces at least an unhealthy condition

growth and thrift, and to that extent

A couple of German investigators
whether watering before or after feed
ing, or at the pleasure of the animal,
affected the percentage of digestion Of
food eaten by them. The conclusion Of
the experimenters was that their ex-
pertinent failed to show that the time
of watering had any influence on di-
gestibility. This is in accord with an
experiment by the writer E1ade in

paper. We recall the advantage Of

MUTTON AND WOOL.
Profit Only Found In "a Combination of
These Qualities.

Profit Only Found I'm a Combination OF
These Qualities.
While there are many breeds of
sheep which are distinctly mutton or
wool breeds, there are others in which
the dividing line is not so sharply
drawn. 1t is true that the very best
mutton sheep do not grow the best
fleece, and the best wool sheep do not
give the best mutton. But it is quite
possible to get an animal that, with a
fleece sufficiently good to pay for its
keep, will also produce mutton of a
quality to satisfy the palates of the
most fastidious.
These objects are to be obtained by
cross breeding and proper handling
the two methods which, reduced to a
science, have made English mutton the
only profitable branch of farming in
England. Cross-bred sheep may be
readily obtained by the crossing of
any of the improved breeds which
have done well in your section upon
the common sheep. This is really the
easiest part of the process. The diff
cult part is the proper handling. Our
sheep have cared for themselves SO
long that it is hard for us to realize
that change is necessary. The inn
proved breeds have been made such
chiefly by liberal feeding of succulent
food and shelter from storms. This
care has been continued for SO long a
period that it has entered into and al
tered their systems, replacing hardi
ness of constitution with juiciness of
