The menorytof st. Patrick, the pa
tron saint Of ireland, was given due
reverence In Wheeling yesterday, and
hnd there been q Rip Van Wrinkle Just
arisen from q long sleep. he could eas.
ily have perceived that yesterday was
the Seventeenth OF March.
Tho shamrock was In great demand,
and though worn by every son Of old
Erin, II had many wearerN among those
OF other RatloGalltles. The wearing
Of the green could not have been much
better carried out than the spectacle
displayed on the streets, where nearly
every other pedestrian wore q sprig OF
shamrock or q bit Of ribbon, equally
green. The excitement attending the
prize fight at Carson City, brought out
large crowds onithe streets, making the
display OF green much more prominent.
The only real celebration Of the day
In It's Significance MS st. PatrlCkB day
was the entertainment given in the
evening by the local branches Of the
Ancient order Of Hibernllns, and the
ladies' RuxlliarieS at the auditorium OF
tile CarfOlV CLUB. The entertainment
consisted OF the rendition OF q very
pretty Irish drama entitled ''Innlsfail,'
and 1t was given very acceptRbly TO q
large audience. The handsome theatre
could not have easily accommodated
many more persons than were already
wedged in when the curtain arose. EV-
erythlng In the play, unlike the course
of true love, ran smoothly, all the parts
being well taken and the accessories to
the play being all that could be wished
for.
The play IL a typical Irish drama,
with plenty. Of adventure and comedy,

The vehicle was built by Bayha Bros,

When MIR, Bloch decided to have the
ambulance built, he called upon Dr..

assistance and suggestions. DR.. Ford,
by the way, was in charge OF the am

POPULARITY OF CRICKET,
Engllshmen Play 1t from the Cradle to
the Grave.

Engllshmen Play 1t from the Cradle to
the Grave.
OF all the sports cultivated in Eng
land cricket has the fewest characteris-
tic features at the public schools. This
is not because it is the least popular
of the sports, but because it is most
popular, says Harper's Round Table.
There is no cricket but cricket and all
England is its prophet. 1t is played
in fields and parks and byways. AS
you whiz through England on the hys-
terical little railway trains the wayside
sWarms with men, boys and children
IN white trousers. 1t is played in the
morning, in the afternoon. and in the
long summer evenings it is often al
most 10 O'Clock before the stumps are
draw. 1t is played from me cradle to
the grave Certainly the best and most
popular player in England to-day. DR..
w. q. Grace, has son in the Cam
bridge eleven, and is a grandfather.
And it is recorded that a famous crick-
eter once excused a younger brothers
lack of skill by saying: HE never had
chance to learn the game He was
so i'll that he couldn't begin playing
until he was years old" If a boy
isn't a past master at cricket before
he goes to school there is little hone
for him.
How much most schoolboys do play
cricket is evident in the time and space
given to the game. At Elton, for in
stance, there are seven separate
grounds, each with name of it's own.
The most exalted of these is Upper
Club, where the best twenty-five plav-
ers in the school hold their matches
and the school eleven plays it's home
games. Then there is a Middle Club
Lower Club an Upper six-penny, a
Lower sixpenny, and a lot more
Every house" in fact, has it's eleven.
and its separate field. In all. the Elton
cricket grounds cover forty-two acres
and afford room for almost 500 bows
to play cricket at one time.

creamed eggs or poached eggs. Fruit
should be served in a fiat dish, with,
If the weather is particularly hot, a
little chopped ice sprinkled over it.
Fruit that is very acid should not be
served too cold. Powdered sugar and
cream should accompany the fruit
course. In the place of chops or
steaks we may have eggplant, broiled
or fried tomatoes, PANIED tomatoes
dainty omelet with peas, omelet with
asparagus tips, or with parsley, fol-
lowing the fruit. Corn oysters and
corn tritters may also take the place
OF meat. Coffee, tea, chocolate and
milk are, of course, in summer, as in
winter, the breakfast beverages"

Owing to the rapid development dur
ing the last few years of new wheat
producing areas in other parts of the
world and the increasing competition
the United States is thus compelled to
meet in the markets OF Europe. the
future disposal of our surplus wheat
is becoming a problem of no little inn
portance. AS a solution of this diff
Guilty 1t has been suggested that the
changes now taking place in the civ
citations Of Japan and China may re-
suit in the opening there of markets
for our wheat that will to some extent
compensate us for possible losses to be
incurred through the growing compe-
tition of other countries in the Euro
pean markets we were formerly able tc
control. There are certainly some very
encouraging indications as to the
plausibility of this suggestion. CHIEF
among these indications is the remark
able manner in which our expectations
of wheat to Eastern Asia have in
creased during the decade just closing.
Most Of this wheat is shipped in the
form of flour, the exports of grain be-
ing comparatively small. The total
shipments Of wheat -four from the Uni
ted States to Japan and China Qnclud-
ing Hongkongl during the ten years
ended June 30, 1896, according to the
official trade returns published by the
Bureau of Statistics of the Treasury
Department. amounted to fully $780,
900 barrels, and by far the larger part
OF this quantity was exported in the
latter half Of the decade.

great gold find are surrounded with
the frozen breath of winter, for the
new gold field is almost within reach Of
the Arctic circle, and the, miners are
snow and ice bound for six months
in the year. Fortunes await the daring
and the hardy who have money enough
to buy a seasons provisions and
strength enough to Withstand the ex-
IRENE cold. Those who were in the
gold region Of Alaska have been able to
withstand everything, and are now re-
turning to warmer and more civilized
climes with plenty of money. In the
summer the miners find the climate de-
lightful. Those who do not care to
fight the rigors of the journey over
the divide north of Juneau reach the
gold fields by the steamer route along
the Yukon river. But the fight for gold
is one in which all the natural forces
Of winter are combined against those
who seek some Of the conveniences of
cities.

A dispatch from Peshtigo, Wis, says:
reports from the farming regions
south and west of here indicate the
almost total destruction of grasshop-
pers by parasites which began preying
upon them about two weeks ago. In
the grasshopper infested regions of
this county myriads of them may be
seen dead or lying clinging to the veg
citation upon which they were feed
ing not able to Withstand the persist
ent attacks of little red insects which
cling to them.
