ADJUSTMENTS.

James O'Neill and company concluded
their Austin engagement last night with
a presentation of "Monte Cristo." The
play, while we'll received by the audience,
was not near up to the old standard that
has long made the play and the man so
famous. The company was also in big
hurry to catch the II Is northbound train
and the performance was hurried some
what, which accounts for some discrepen-
cies. Under any circumstances, however,
O'Neill cannot help making a magniti-
cent count, and the crowd last night gave
him cordial reception.

make high revel in Clandeboye. The en-

means 500 rooms, in a building as large
as the Waldorf Brunswick and Plaza

Speaking of gems, what is going to be
done about these artificial .rubies which

MINES AS FOREST DESTROYEIsss;
From the PHILADELPHIA Press.

Mining destroys forests upon scale
which is not ut all understood by the
general public. A careful paper recent
ly read at San Francisco upon the sub
jects mashals an array of facts to show
that the Comstock mines alone since 1870
have used up the incredible quantity Of
$55,000000 of timber in snoring up the
mines and providing frewood. In all
425,000, 100000 feet of boards and 2tSS
OOO,OOO,OOO feet of other timber have
been employed in this way. This is oRIE'
one group of mines. The same destruo-
ton of forests is going on upon smaller
or larger scale in all Western mines, and
going on, too, where woods are scantys
and the forest once swept away can never
be replaced. Yet the senate which has
lust adjourned cut down, by the votes Of
the mining state senators, the aIpropria-
ton for procuring timber frauds frOuA
SOC, 900 to $4,000.

England is the economic Mecca of the

farmers at Waco on March 49," said
President Lane. ''My chief purpose in
this visit is to advise farmers against the
present trick that the Liverpool people
are undertaking to play upon them by
the fictitious rise in cotton values. This
is simply the product of a conspiracy to
entice farmers TO increase their acreage
and to again give the advantage of our
increased surplus.
There is no logical cause for this pres
ent rise in values. To all people informed
it is simply strategic movement upon
the part of foreign dealers to delude the
farmers into the egregious folly of over
producing again this season.
