Pearl Diving

Pearl diving used to be an important and
valuable industry of the coast Of Mozam-
biQue. Now, according to United States Con-
zaruto Kafirs still continue to fish for pearls
but as they roast the oysters, instead of let
ting them rot, the pearls are always more or
less damaged by heat. The Bazaruto pearls
as well as few that obtained near the mouth
Of the Royuma. are shipped by the Indian
traders to Bombay and Zanzibar. Some years
ago, writes Consul Hollis, a concession was
granted by the Portuguese government for a
company Of American pearl divers to exploit
the reputed rich pearl fisheries of the Ba-
zaruto islands, which are situated a few miles
from the coast and about midway between
Inhambane and Beira. An attempt was made
to work the concession, but it is recorded by
the American consul that bad management
lack Of funds, heavy expenses and political
difficulties combined to kill the enterprise
The pearl diver is gradually becoming ex-
tinct. particularly in the vicinity Of MoZam-
bique. There is now no local market for
pearls in that locality.-Washingto Post.

Burr's Law Office.

Within a stones throw of the city hall
stands little two-story dormer-window
house, now occupied a barber shop, that
once was the law office and residence of
Aaron Burr, says the New York Sun. It
is alleged that in this very house Burr met
the fiibuster Gen. Miranda, and that here
was plotted the Lenders cruise. Here the
Blennerhassett scheme was planned, and to
this house Burr returned ruined man after
his trial for treason. Underneath a fOur-story
building not far away is one of the water
tanks of the water company that was or
ganized by Burr, under whose charter a
banking institution was founded. Burr feared
to ask the legislature for banking charter
so he applied for charter for water COM

Jacob Lifts latest venture is a new
play called Under Martial Law" by
Milton Mobiles, and it will be given at
the Grand tonight. It's first presenta-
ton occurred last week in Milwau-
kee. where it was well received.
1T will doubtless be gratifying to
many to know that Under Martial
Law" has neither sensational effects
nor mechanical devices. 1t will have
to depend for whatever success it may
achieve solely upon its dramatic con-
struCtion and its character drawing.
The story opens on a fine old South
ern plantation in North Carolina amid
the festivities given to celebrate the
marriage Of the daughter of the house,
charming Southern girl. and a chiv-
alrOus Southern gentleman. The time
: Is 1862. The girls father. who has all
his life been a Scapegrace and ner-

anyhow, leaving prudery out of the
question? And how much of the seem
ing popularity Of the coarser kinds Of
farce is due to the fact that some PEG
pie prefer frank vulgarity to insinua-
lions about things they have been bred
to ignore in public. 1t could only do
good to give folks of this kind reason

idea Of purity.
A treat is in store for local theater-
goers in the engagement during the

III the formers admirable romantic
drama For Fair Virginia" When For
Fair Virginia" was presented in ST.
Paul eighteen months ago, the G l o b e
in a review Of the performances, said
From the moment the curtain rises
on the first act of this play until Vir-
ginia surrenders to her dearest foe at
the close of the last act, there is moth
ing in any way approaching the me-
diocre about Russ WhytaPs romantic
Southern play. The author has writ
ten and built up dramatic gem of
kind that is not only popular, but must
win praise from playgOers of high and
low degree. No one has license to play
the carping critic on the artists COM
posing the company that produces For
Fair Virginia. Rather would it be
hard to OYerpraise, and yet to even
approach that point would be unpar-
donable. They need no fiattery; but
one can do no less than tell their
merit. Throughout the piece there is
so much to commend from every stand
point, that it ought to draw to the full
capacity of the hOuse-the artist and
the scholar, the refined and the rough"
This opinion, expressed nearly a year
and a half ago, has been confirmed
during nearly 400 performances by
critics and audiences in every part of
the country, and coming here as For
Fair Virginia" now does after a sue
cessiOn of operate and comedy enter
tairments, its stirring scenes and vivid
incidents should prove a welcome
change. There will be novelty, too,
even for those who saw the play before
as Mrs. Whytal is now appearing in
the light comedy part of the Yankee
girl, while Miss Mabel Bert assumes the
character of Virginia. John Woodland
