"A Romance Of Coon Hollow, which
will be seen at the Grand Opera House

has some of the most exquisite scenery
on the road. The first act reveals an
autumn view of a typical Southern
plantation. with sunset and moonlight
effects. and contains a splendid electri-
cal display. The second act is a fac
simile of Coon Hollow" a rugged
glen in the Tennessee hills, painted
from sketches made on the spot. and
is made sensational by a bursting dam
and food The third act shows a wood
landing on the Mississippi, and night
view of the famous Lee-Natchez
steamboat race, the boats being lighted
up and under full head of steam. The
last act is given to an actual cotton
press in operation, and is thrillingly
dramatic. The play will be given here
with all the effects used in the origi-
nal run at the Fourteenth Street The
atre, New York. In the wood-landing
scene is introduced a rollicking me-
lange of songs and dances by a troupe
of colored boys and girls, including

SHORE ACRES" WEDNESDAY

There are so many different kinds Of
realism on the stage nowadays that
one has oftentimes the greatest diff
Guilty in distinguishing between the
bad and the good, but there is no
trouble i'm deciding when such plays as
Shore Acres are presented. Mr.
Herne has chosen a story of the utmost
simplicity, but its treatment is such
that it stirs the heart after the manner
of true poetry. II is possibly this
feature which makes "Shore Acres"
one of the most beautiful plays ever
put upon the stage. It will be at the
Grand Opera House on Wednesday

The Young Ladies of tho nallet.

The young ladies who havo acquired
from long practice tho faculty of stand

of today as they fascinated their fathers.
The foyer lives upon its ancient fame,
and is still curious to look at, but it has

floor corresponding with the incline Of

were absolutely apart; nothing like
them was to be found elsewhere. Tho

duce such crops as were previously Sc
cured in that section, SO that now in
stead of an average of SO bushels per
acre, with frequent yields of over 100
bushels, the average i'll the peanut sec
tions is not over 30 bushels, while the
cost of cultivation has been but slightly
reduced.
AS regards food value, peanut kernels,
with an average of 80 per cent of pro-
tein, 40 per cent of fat and ii per cont
Of carbohydrates i'll the dry material,
take a high rank and should be classed
with such concentrated foods as sofa
beans. cotton seed, etc. The vines are
shown by analysis to be superior to
timothy hay as q feeding stuff and but
slightly inferior to clover hay.
The ground bulls are used to n con-
siderable extent as q coarse fodder in
European countries. Peanut meal, the
ground residue from oil extraction, is N
valuable feeding stuff highly appreciat-
ed and extensively used in foreign coun-
tries. 1t contains, us the averages of
over 1000 analyses show, about 52 per
cent Of protein, s per cent of fat and 81
per cent Of carbohydrates and is ono of
the most concentrated feeding stuffs
with which we are familiar, ranking
with c%ottonseed meal, linseed meal, etc,
and i'll some cases ahead of them.
In describing the uses of peanuts it is
scarcely necessary to more than refer to
the use to which fully three fourths of
the American raised crop is devoted.
The nut is sorted III the factory into
four grades, tho first, second and third
being sold to vendors of the roasted pea
nut either directly or through jobbers,
while the fourth is sold to confectioners
to be used i'll the making of burnt
almonds, peanut candy and the cheap
er grades of chocolates. The extent Of
the use of the peanut by the American
people will be more fully appreciated
when it is remembered that they use
1000, 600 bushels of nuts yearly, at a
cost to the consumers of $40, 600. 900,
which do not form a part of tho regular
articles of food, but arc eaten at odd

From Paterson to Heaven.

He has very taking way with the chill
dren Of the Sunday school and happy
faculty of teaching them by the inductive
method But sometimes the results are
startling. He tried on Sunday last to get
them to think out that there was only one
way to get to heaven, whereas there are
several ways to get to New York
"Now, children said he, chow many
ways are there from Paterson to New
York?''
"Three," piped up one small voice.
"Four," shouted an urchin with well
exercised lungs.
"Five, y said sweet voiced little maid
en-, whereat there was laugh.
"Well, Maggie, you may tell us what are
the five ways from Paterson to New York =
1.-THE Delaware and Lackawanna and
the Erie, and the Susquehanna, and the
trolley, and the bicycle" and Maggie sat
down, flushed but triumphant, having
squelched the incredulous small boy near
by who was snickering at her.
The interlocutor fastened to change the
subject.
Eyes, yes, that is very good, Maggie,
but want the school to tell me in what
direction we must go to get from Paterson
to New York. There are many different
routes, it is true, but there is only one di-
rection that we can follow. What is that?''
EAST shouted dozen voices az once.

must we go if we would get from Paterson

Maine People in the south.

The first week in May convention of
northern settlers was held at Southern
Pines, writes Rev. G. NJ. Emery from
Portsmouth, Va, to lions Advocate
At this gathering, there were, at least,
ten people from the Pine Tree State:
there were three graduates of Colby: G.
I. Meserye. president of Shaw University
at Raleigh, who made one Of the best ad
dresses of the occasion; Solomon Gallert
formerly of Waterville, but for several
ysars a successful lawyer in ceDtra
North Carolina, who also addressed the
Convention, and the writer. The Maine
state College also had one represen tative
in the person of Prof. T. &. Emery Of
the Agricultural Experiment Station Of
Raleigh. and an instructor in the NORTH
Carolina College Of Agriculture and Me-
chanio Arts. He is widely known
throughout the State and as a scientific
and practical agriculturist is regarded al
authority.
At the memorial services last Saturday
held IN one of the most beautiful of The
National GENE teries in the South, al
Raleigh, within which lie the bodies Of
1901 Federal soldiers the names of nearly
one-half of whom are unknown, I was
surprised to see present a group of sever
natives of Maine, two of whom were thu
orator and chaplain of the occasion. Tit
head stones mark the resting places O.
not less than thirteen other natives o.
that State who laid down their lives il
defense Of their country.
