THE PLANTERS WIFE.


a crowded house greeted the play,
"The Planters Wife" presented by
home talent, for the benefit of the
Texarkana band, Play is a four
act comedy Mountaineering
from opening to closing. A deep
laid scheme to blacken the charac-
ter Of The Planters Wife, which
fails, is the plot to the play. Some
fine opportunities for good acting,
and the Thespians fully grasped
and used them. The audience
showed its appreciation in frequent
applause.
Miss Annie Turner, as The Plan
ter's Wife, was pre-eminently the
star, She eimpersonated the perfect
woman, devoted wife, prosecuted
by villain who ensnared her in
early life, but under all circumstan-
ces true to herself, to her husband
and every womanly virtue and no
ble instinct. Her splendid acting
elected the generous applause of the
audience.
Mr., w. H, Booth as Albert Gra-
ham, the Planter, was scarcely be-
hind Miss Turner in carrying out
his role AS a doting husband,
worked upon by scheming impos-
ter who sought by jealousy, and
every other despicable means, to
separate him from his wife, he dis
played all the sentiment and pas
sion of the human mind, Mr.. Booth
fully sustained the well earned rep
utation he had already achieved
with the Thespians, upon our local
stage.
Mr., VIM, Currier as Harry Liv-
ingston the false friend, looked and
acted the william to asuperb degree
The play was rendered dramatic
and entertaining by his fine act
ing,
Miss Mamie Hynson, as Dora
Graham a southern heiress, render
ed her part in an excellent manner.
She was recalled for a song.
Miss Helen Surles was cute and
fascinating impersonating "Augie
Gordon, too young to have a
beaux," Miss Ella Kelly as Mrs.
Gordon (Augie's mother) acted well
her part; but as winsome widow
failed to catch her young daugh-
ters sweetheart,
AS comedian, Mr.. Will Brownlee
was quite success in Simeon
He brought down the
house quite often,
Frank Buel acted well the part of
a colored servant boy and was re-
called twice in one act. He is GER
tainly on to the negro dialect.
Mr. G. B, Peck, showed up to
splendid advantage all of those ad-
mlrable traits of the true gentle
man, in the character, "a Prisoner
of War He is lat home on the
stage,
The play throughout was listened
to with deep interest by all present,
thus manilesting the appreciation,
in addition to the frequent applause,
While not wishing to give the
Thespians "talfy" we must say they
won new laurels last evening. We
have heard many express desire
to have 'oThe Planters Wife" re-
peated,

GoLD MINES or FALASKA.

The Route to the Gold Fields and the Rich
 es Stored There--A Hard Road to Travel, and Only Open in Summer-The Mineral
 Region Likely to Prove One of the Rich est in the World--A Big Rush Expected in the Spring.
 [From tho Chicago Record.l T. J. Quinn, a prominent trader who
 has lived in Alaska over seven years
 and has come out for the winter, gives
 an interesting and encouraging account
 of the gold fields of that country.
 "Every year." said Mr. Quinn, "the
 number of miners in Alaska increases, for as the country becomes better
 known, it is more appreciated. l think
 there are now about 800 white miners in Yukon country, and that twice that number will go there next summer. The only way to get supplies into the mining regions is by boat and dog sIedges. The boats stop running in October and those who go into this isolated country must stay there until the following summer when the boating season opens again, for if they go across the country they have to travel nearly 1000 miles through a barren and deso- late country. If they escaped freezing they would perish for want of food.
 ''The miners lay in their winter sup plies before cold weather sets in, and they either keep housed up all winter in their log cabins or, else work in the mines. Of course those who are engag- ed in placer mining can do~no work during the winter while everything is frozen up, so they rest until spring.
 "The Treadwell Mining company and few smaller companies practically control the mining industry, but there are several hundred miners working among the placers, washing out the sand and gravel along the rivers, and they manage to pan out considerable gold every summer. While the season is short, lasting only from five to six months year, they will average about $2, 900 season to the man. Some of them, of course do a great deal better while others fall below the average; but if a man gets right down to work there he is pretty sure to get good re- suits.
 Of course in an isolated country like that food, clothing, and, in fact, all of the necessaries of life, are very ex pensive, and a man to go into the Yu- kon country should have money enough to properly outfit himself Then he can go in May or June and put in the sum mer at work and either go south for the winter or else go into winter quar- ters. It is expensive getting in and out of this country, and this is why so many of the miners remain there for several years cut off from the world en- lirely.

NE " HAYEH'S WOMEN. Unworthy Habits of Haste
 Among Them. Many Who Seem to be Acting
 A Foolish Part. Are Not Satisfied by Going
 About Quietly. They Hurry and Worry, Then
 Don't Get Sleep.
Paine's Celery Compound
 Their Best Relief.

Tn prescribing Paine's celery com pound for a patient the other day, a New Haven physician, who is spe- cialist in nervous difficulties. declared that there were thousands of such wo- men who were literally killing them selves by too rapid movements.
 They are not satisfied" said he, with going about doing things in a quiet, ordinary way, but rush through with their work and ruin their health as fast as they can. So firmly fixed is this habit that they run up and down stairs when there Is no need for hurry.
 "They not only rush, but worry, and between these two subject their nerv- ous systems to more wear and tear than anything short of wrought steel could endure.
 Whatever the cause, our women, our young girls and even business men are rapidly growing more and more nerv- ous. Prof. Phelps, the great Dartmouth scientist, saw this alarming state of things and concentrated all his ener- gy to remedying it. It was from the formula of this eminent student and thinker that Paine's celery compound was prepared.
 Its success in restoring nerve strength and building up the worn-out body re- paid the years of study and investi- gation that Prof. Phelps conscien- tiously devoted to the diseases of the stomach and the kidneys, the result of impure blood and impoverished nerves. The astonishing results that have come from it's careful use have been the subject of discussion in all the promi- nent newspapers and magazines in this country, Canada and throughout Great Britain.
 The record of this great blood clean- ser, from the time of its discovery up to the present day, has been a mar vellous one.
 It has cured literally thousands of cases of nervous debility, rheumatism, kidney and heart troubles, and has made sound sleep possible to countless men and women whose irritable and impoverished nerves were slowly drain ing them o2 vitality,

Made Millions in 1894, but Will Never
 Coin Another Cent.
 All the dies with which coins were made at the mint during 1894 were de- stroyed by the coiner, assayer and Sec retary Frank Weigman, assisted by two brawny blacksmiths, in the mint blacksmith shop yesterday There were five hundred and twelve of these dies Of these seventy-two were for double eagles seventy-nine for eagles, thirty-two for half eagles, four for quarter eagles, twelve for dollar pieces, twenty-one for half dollar pieces fifty for quarter-dollar pieces, thirty-six for 10-cent pieces, eighty for 5-cent pieces, and one hundred and eight for 1-cent pieces. The dies are steel, and to de- stroy them it became necessary to heat them almost to a whiteness. Then they were taken from the fire and placed upon an anvil when the blacksmiths with sledges struck them upon the face powerful blows, which obliterated and destroyed the dies, as required by the treasury regulations.
 The count of the standard dollars it is expected, will be completed within a week, There remain but three million to count, and until it has been finished no statement can be made as to the re- sult,-Philadelphia Record

Catching the Dragon Fly.

"One of the greatest amusements for the children of Japan is catching the dragon fly" said Dr. w. F. Taylor, of Boston, who has spent several years in Japan. Japan is a land of children, and thousands of them literally put in several weeks every autumn capturing dragon flies and tying kites to them for the fun of seeing them fly. Soon after the turn of the sun in the afternoon hundreds and thousands of huge dra- gon flies busy themselves flying over the rice fields and gardens catching in- sects and gnats
 "The Japanese boys carefully satu- rate the end of bamboo with tar and start out for the fun. They first hold the bamboo up to attract the unsus- pecting dragons to take a rest. In moment the boy gives the bamboo twist and puts the tar end into so many motions that it is almost impossible for the creature to avoid it. The boys are so expert at the business that I have seen them chase a fly that had got much ahead of them and succeed in sticking the dragon fly to the reed When once on the tar end of the pole there is miserable future for the cap tives. They are tied together and car ried around in the chase. Then string is tied to each one, and small piece of paper, serving as a kite, when the poor flies are required to sail. They fly away, but of course soon get caught in tree or brush and die of strava- tion."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

Blanket the Horses.

Did you ever stop to think of the val
lie OF Il blanket to the colt or work
horse? What a foolish question:" |
Il hear many farmers eXclaim, fol-
lowed by "a blanket is only for city
horses, l want my horses tough" My
friend, did you ever notice how much
more food it takes for you when it is
cold and how much extra clothing you
put on? A horse is remarkably thin
skinned and in a draught of the stable
or a cold stall suffers acutely. His
food does him but little good when he
Is in this condition. Much of it passes
through completely undigested and it
requires at least one-third more food
good judges say. Good strong blankets
are cheap and will pay for themselves
in the food saved In a month. Then
think of the better appearance OF the
horse with his soft, smooth silky coat.
