Grand Opera House.

'The Cotton King" one of the great
est dramatic production which is
presented here at popular prices, open
ed three days engagement at the
Grand Opera house last evening before
a good sized audience. The Cotton
King" has been presented here several
never a better company. 1t Is a melo-
drama of the higher order, and in it,
it's author, Sutton Vane, has done his
best work, although in Humanity his
success was very flattering. The story
is strong one, full of pathetic situa-
tions, strong climaxes and excellent
mechanical effects Act Nv shows the
Ashton mills and elevator with It's nu-
merous machines and looms in motion.
Here the elevator almost brushes the
life from the heroine, which climax is
produced in most thrilling manner; in
fact, so much as to elicit shrieks from
not few in the audience. Act II open
ed with summer scene, in which some
very good comedy is produced Miss
Clara Wisdom, who impersonates the
character of the kitty and is am
bilious to shine as the female Sandow
and J. f. Macdonald, the dyer at the
mill, who possesses a very smooth
tenor voice, sings several modern songs
and dances acceptably. James NJ
Brophy as the Cotton King did COM
mendable work. His lines lead him into
several characters and situations, which
are capably interpreted. The best work
of the evening was done by Perkins D.
Fisher in James Shillinglaw, the en-
gineer. His strongest opportunity is
when he refuses his benefactor admit
lance to the fever chamber of his wife
and child The villianous role of Rich
ard Stockley, the manager of the mills,
is well carried out by J. Frank Burke
The character of the Jewish financier
might be in ADLER hands. The company
is large and can boast Of several pretty
women. Miss Nellie Etting IS a young
and promising actress and makes con-
siderable of the leading part, Hettie
Drayson, and Miss Rose Braham is well
selected for Elsie Kent, the mill pet.
Lovers of true melodrama will have no
better opportunity to see such at the
Grand this season than in the present
production.
The remaining performances are this
and tomorrow evening, with matinee
Saturday.

TNTESTHENT NOTES.

Cuthbert & Co.'s dispatches received
at their branch office in this city, re-
port the continued feverishness of the
wheat market yesterday, with sharp
and frequent fluctuations of prices COW
ering range of one cent up and down
the scale from yesterdays closing
prices. The course of the market to-
day would depend to a great extent
upon the action of the foreign mar
kets. AS the Paris market closed yes

and wheat at Berlin declined 11s marks,

The stock market yesterday contin-
ued irregular, with a sagging tendency
under continued moderate liquidation
by London and local traders and ag-
gressive bear tactics against the indus

features, as had been the case all week.
The pressure was directed principally
against Sugar, Chicago Gas and
Leather.
The susceptibility of the trust stocks
to attack made the advocate of lower
prices more confident, and at the same
time their weakness helped to take the

POLLS WONDERLAND rhenter.

Rumors are rife Of decided sensa-
ton at Polls Wonderland theater this
or tomorrow evening. 1t is limited
that Mile, Fleurette and her four
Fleurs-de-Lis will substitute silver
dollars for dolls as bait for their fish
lines. They did this while playing in
New York last week and made tre-
mendous sensation, If they do it here
there will probably be more free sill
verites at the Wonderland than they
had votes here in the November cleo

well. Next week Miss Florence Brind-

For the Florida Agriculturist.
Jamaica Sorrel.

I have seen nothing in the Agri
culturist's columns regarding this
valuable plant, and while it is not a
market crop it is splendid one for
home consumption. The plant grows
to about eight feet in height, is very
branching, and should be planted six
to eight feet apart each way. 1t is
clean, healthy plant, free from in
sects, and bears a profusion of cream
colored flowers very much like cotton
bloom in form but much larger. The
calyx is very large and of a thick
feshy character, and this is the fruit
1t is edible from any time from three
days after the flowers drop until the
seed begins to ripen. In productive
ness it has few equals, a single plant
easily bearing bushel of fruit.
Now what is it good for? Pretty
near everything. The young leaves
are considered good green's if one
cares for fodder, and if this wasn't
wooded country the house mother
could get fine switches to hurry up
the youngsters with. It is the fruit,
however, that is especially valuable.
Stewed, it is perfect imitation and
substitute for cranberry sauce. Last
Thanksgiving we tried it on a sure
enough down east Yankee, and the
good woman asked, "Where did you
get your cranberries? I haven't seen
any in market.
1t makes elegant pies, and for jel-
ly just beats the world. The color is
a beautiful clear red, and in taste it
would pass for currant jelly. 1t jells
very easily, scarcely requiring to be
more than brought to boil. Then
the pumace from which the juice for
making jelly has been extracted can
be run through a collander and when
sweetened is good jam. The fruit
natures in five months from plant
ing.
It remains in bearing from month
to six weeks, giving a long period in
which to use the crop. It would seem
that so valuable product should be
more generally known than it is, for
it comes within reach of all, in town
or country, and can be enjoyed the
same season it is planted.
Plant the distance apart indicated
above, give it reasonable amount of
fertilizer, and you can have an abun-
dant harvest. Tt will thrive on any
soil from rich hammock to our high
sand hills. w. S. Preston.

The Mathematics of Farming.


Mathematics is called a certain
science. AS far as acreage, measure
ment of fields and plots; labor, it's du-
ration and power; the season of crops,
arise in the years work of farmer,
he has much need of simple, certain
mathematics. But it is mainly in the
effort to use science in regard to his
environments and skill and knowl-
edge in the doctrine Or principle of
probabilities that he needs all the
''book 1earning," book farming, that
he can get from every source. His
living depends on the soil, the climate
and the fertilizers, and his knowledge
of these depends on his own or other
peoples experience under like cir
cumstances and surroundings, and his
and theirs depend on the mathemati-
cal principle of probabilities. Now,
when seed is put into the soil you
plant it with faith in the probabilities.
If the soil be rich, if the climate and
rainfall are of average in temperature
and volume, if the fertilizer applied be
such as is suited to the soil, the plant
and the climate, and the cultivation
such as is suited to the plant, you be-
lieve and act on the belief that you
will make full crop, and your faith
is based on what you know or have
heard or read of number of like
cases in a number of years as the av
erage of mathematical probability of
the yield. Men invest money every
day in other pursuits on this princi-
pie. Life, fire and marine insurance
is based on it, and a margin over the
average makes it safe and profitable.
Departments of agriculture and eX-
pertinent stations are established by
governments to furnish the great ma
jority of the population-the farmers
the facts, figures and probabilities
on the three important environments
which surround every farmer and
planter, to assist him in the prepara-
ton, cultivation and harvesting of
crops, and to aid him in avoiding the
unforeseen and accidental deviations
from the average that might be det-
rimental, ''as frosts and storms" To
this end, soils are analyzed, and not
only the quantity of mineral elements
necessary to crop production ascer-
tanned, but the construction of the
soils with reference to their capacity
to collect and retain moisture and
their consequent temperature. So,
