A GREAT POPULAR DRAMA.

The great popular drama, "Uncle
Toms Cabin" will be at the Grand
Opera House next Wednesday after
noon and evening. Added to cast of
exceptional excellence with many we'll
known actors, is a lavish display Of
special scenery, correctly illustrating
the locality of each scene depicted, and
made full of life and movement by a
host OF colored singers, jubilee shous-
ers and buck dancers; ponies, donkeys
and Siberian bloodhounds aid the pow
erful realism of the scenes. But per-
haps the most interesting event on ac-
count of its novelty is a well-executed
and gorgeOusly appointed cake walk,
which is introduced during the play. IL
is an enjoyable feature, full of action
and interest, and the negro love of
brilliant effect is aptly shown in the
gorgeous costumes OF the women and
silk hats and monstrous bouttonnieres
of the men.

GOO,0tO CYCLES.
Estimated Output of the American
Factories During Last Year.

raesoEtcs Durtu9 Last Year.
The cycle industry in the United States.
says an interesting and lengthy article on
this subject In the London Times has grown
from six factories in lSS. with a total out
put Of 11."0 machines. to .oo factories in
1895. counting only those which turn out
not less than 1000 machines annually. and
having total production of G1.Wo cycles
of various grades. The capital invested in
these 800 factories is placed at SN.opo.ep.
and the lowest estimate of the output of
completed machines for lsG is one million
valued at s60.O0o@D. IL the manufacture
of tubing. bells. lamps and other bicycle
paraphernalia is included. il is estimated
that the total capital invested would
amount to Sl25.RSWn.
The export of American bicycles practi-
caliy commenced i'm 1885, and for the last
Ealf of that year the value of those export
ed only amounted to so43 I'll according TO
the reports of the Treasury Department.
But for the first six months of lSsAi the
same report puts the Value of exported
machines at sl,6o4.22l Nearly one-half of
this export goes to England, incompleted
machines or parts of machines. and Ger
many and France are the next best custom
ers. The success of the American machine
says the Times, is the attention paid To
the development of strength with lightness
and the finish and high quality of the pro-
duct. Bicycles are made weighing only
twenty-six pounds, which will safely carry
zoo pounds over any road.
The price IF the best bicycles has been
reduced from s14o in 1Se. to Sl1 in 1876
for the same quality of machine or even
better. The Times estimates the number Of
bicycles in Sc in the United States at not
less than 3.oW,SS MIR. George +. Parker.
American consul al Birmingham, says that
in 1885 about i'0,ouU bicycles were made in
England valued at about ssS.3ae,Nn. The
export value of English bicycles for the first
nine months Of 1886 amounted TO 81, ~. tsl
but the trade in cycle material with the
United States has declined to s6a, az, and
Mr.. Parker says it will practically cease by
the end of the season of 1897.

IMPORTANCE Or FREE LIBRARIES.
4 Strong Plea Made in New York for
Appropria tiOnS. Nt- i-

New York cty's board of estimate and
apportionment yesterday took up the ques-
ton of the distribution of public funds to
the various free circulating libraries of
that city. The appropriation for this pur-
pose fer the coming year was increased,
the statute authorizing allowance of ten
cents for each volume circulate. EX-Judge
Rowland appeared before the board in be-
half of the New York Free Circula ting Lii
brary, and asked for allowance of
$500 on the stated basis. He said:
I'VE ask this because We. believe that il
is time for the city of New York to awake
to it's duties and its opportunities in the
matter of free libraries. The late election
and the experience of the past have taught
all thoughtful citizens the necessity of ed
ucatng the people. and to accomplish this
end we deem free circulating libraries next
in Importance and efficiency to free schools
Public education not only should cultivate
the intelligence, but also should make good
citizens. and we believe that next to direct
personal influence reading has most to do
with the formation of character Good fic-
ton, history and biography teach high
ideals, right standards. duty to others,
public spirit and patriotism. There is a
great awakening throughout the country
to the important part played by free crcu-
lating libraries in the making of good and
intelligent citizens, and they are being
started everywhere. A striking example is
"
phIa Free Library which was started four
years ago with large appropriation and
an annual grant from the city of 500 600
has circulated the past year 1,3000OO vol
umes. surprising all other libraries in the
land. New York cannot afford to lag be-
hind, and while We do not ask you to go
beyond the law. We do ask you to give us
what is authorized by the law
Judge Rowland went on 10 call attention
to the work done in connection with the
public schools. the teachers cooperating
by sending pupils to the libraries or by dis
tributing the books furnished This is
made possible by a system of seven fran
chises. In conclusion. he said. -"'-
This would give us ten branch libraries
1--WE already have severn, and We hope that
We can, with your help, SO long as we de-
serve 1t. go on with our work adding
branches year by year, until we shall have
a system of free circulating libraries ade-
quate to the needs and the standing of
this great city, which we so much desire to
see first in all the arts of peace 81

Spain Advised to Secure Peace.

The London Times has an editorial to-
day i'm which it couIsels the Spaniards to
maintain the calm demeanor they have
thus far displayed toward the United
States. Says the Times:
They can afford to ignore the insolent
menaces of the. Senate committee, even il
they are adopted by both houses, because
they are empty menaces. The latest indi-
cations are that the American people sup
port President Clevelands attitude. But
Spain must endeavor to procure peace in
.one way or another. otherwise the time win
come when the Cameron resolution will be
adopted in substance by the President"
