 The play itself briefly tells the story of a scientist who starts out to explore Africa, but meeting a serio-comic vocal list, he gives up his journey to chase after the actress. When he comes home he tells his family all about his trip to Africa, and then his troubles begin.
 Jeanstte Ardelle is the best singer in the company, and Rose Melville is a con- ediene of exceptional abilities Carrie Graham is good dancer, and the male members of the company are above the average.

Bartley Campbells celebrated play. "The White Slave" has long since taken its place among the standard works of American authors. It is in every respect a native drama. It deals with the slav- cry epoch in non-theatrical way. The story finds it's source from the skeleton in the Kentucky Home of the Hardins. It is a tender theme, and is developed in a masterfu1 manner. The characters are those every traveller has met in this section, the humor is decidedly droll and is free from horseplay. The picturesque has not been forgotten, rich plantation oh the banks of the Mississippi river in all it's scenic splendor will be shown in the third act. Following this The Cabin of the Steamboat, Belle Creole" and her confiagration. together with a floating wreck in terrific rainstorm of real wa ter, and the swampy and desolate Red Devil Island, give evidence of the au- thor's vivid imagination and of the scenic artists skill. The singing of old plan tation songs by fifty jubilee singers of all ages led by Bryde. Lynam, Daven-' port, and Macnab, who comprise the new White Slave Quartette will be one of the brilliant features of the revival. The dramatic cast is one of unusual merit.

Eggs as Ammunition.

From the Chicago Record: People in
the little mountain town of Sharps-
burg, KY, have peculiar diversion
known as "egg throwing" The heaviest
battles occur on Saturday night. Jim
strong is the captain of one egg-throw-
ing band, and Bill Eversole is the cap
tain OF the other. They have about
twenty men each. Each man has to
provide himself with dozen eggs, and,
them where he can get them the cheap
est. AS no individual expects to be
struck by his own eggs, he does not re-
qulre the dealer to candle" them. In
this way the dealers in country produce
here are able to realize at least cost
price on their sickest eggs.
Last Saturday nights battle was
glorious one. The moon was shining,
and the boys lined up for the fray
about o'clock. Every member of the
two companies was present The cap
talns did not throw, simply directing
the movements of their men. Each had
his full quota of eggs when the battle
began. The first volley was thrown by
Strong's men. and six men on the
EVersole side were struck. Then the
Eversoles began to throw eggs, and at
their first volley seven Strong men were
marked, and one egg carried away the
cap of Captain Strong. Then the
throwing became indiscriminate, and
no attempt at volley work was made.
The sport did not cease until the en-
tire 4S0 eggs were thrown. Nearly ev-
cry man had been plastered, and the
captains were regular omeIets from
head to foot. 1t was decided that
Strong's men won the fight The Ever
sole company did the proper thing, and
several bottles of colorless LIQUID
known as "moonshine" were passed.
The most casual observer passing along
the street next morning could have told
there had been an egg battle, for the
houses, sidewalks, fences and curb
stones were plastered with eggs and
shells.

The American Chicory company has
started its plant at Fremont. During
the summer some improvements have
been made in the machinery and every
thing placed in good shape. The to-
tai amount of chicory Oeets dried at
Fremont this year will be considerably
less than last season, the management
estimating it at only 5000 tons. The
yield per acre is smaller than last year,
which was an exceptionally favorable
season for raising chicOry, but will be
large enough to make the crop profit
able one to the farmer. The company
has recently shipped a large quantity
of the cry root to Omaha to be pre-
pared for the market. The demand for
chicory is improving and many new
customers are being added to the COM
pany's list. As it is not practicable for
the factory to shut down during the
season, two full crews are employed Of
about fifteen men each. The factory
will probably be in operation about
eighty days this season.

Of her pupils by what seemed to them
insistence on the British standard of
excellence as the only one worth re-
garding.
"That is not English" she said one
day, as young girl made slip in
pronunciation. why do you not give
the broad a? We are English-we are
all English!"
You may be, Miss -" answered
the girl, in dignified tones, "but l am
not. 1 am a Yankee-Yankee TO the

The other occurrence took place in
boys school. One of the instructors
was young man of excellent charac-
ter and amiable intentions, who had
apparently imbibed that contempt for
America and American institutions
which is sometimes noted in people
who have made a brief stay abroad,
and which he never failed to express
on every possible occasion.
The boys held their peace till the
close of the school term; :hea they pre-
sented their unpatriotic tea cher with a
beautiful edition of ''The Man Without
Country y"-probably one of the best
lessons in patriotism ever penned.

fortify one point in Hawaii than twen-
ty points in California, Washington

fortify one point in Hawaii than twen-
ty points in California, Washington
and Oregon.
We need Hawaii far more than Ha-
waii needs us. We need it as England
needs Gibraltar, not so much for its
territory nor it's commerce, but for its
location. We need it, not for aggres-
sion, but for the protection of the in
terests that we have there and for the
protection of our people and property
upon the Pacific Coast.
Another, and subordinate, reason
in favor of annexation is because Ha-
waii lies in the direct track of all
trans-Pacific trade. With one excep-
ton, all of the seven different steam
ship lines that cross the Pacific stop
at Honolulu. All the China and Japan
trade, to and from the Nicaragua ca
nal, will subsequently do the same.
Hawaii has been rightly termed the
commercial crossroads" as well as the
strategic key" of the Pacific.
Hawaii, although but partially de-
veloped, is a rich and prosperous coun-
try. It already consumes more of our
United States products than any other
country bordering upon the Pacific.
Under annexation we shall not only
protect this trade, but we will multiply
it tanfold through the resulting devel-
opment of Hawaii.

Senator PaddOcE's Death.

Washington Post: Announcement o.,
the death of ex-senator Paddock at his
home, Beatrice, Neb., has given a de
cided shock to many residents of this
city, official and otherwise, who hsG
known him during the last sixteer
years. He counted his warm friends ir
Washington by the hundred, and th7
expressions of regret over his deceasa
will be numerous and heartfelt. Ha
was singularly gentle and generous ir
his nature, in defatigable in the dis
charge of his official duties, always
loyal to his state and devoted to his
friends. During his twelve years Ci
service in the senate he was a persist
ent friend of the District of ColuTnb
and took an aCtive part in the dis
cussion OF the various measures for tn:
promotion Of it's interests.

Hawaii produces sugar, ecfsee aud
bananas, all of which we buy largely
from foreign countries. BY annexation
we will produce these articles for our
selves. The acquisition of the Hawa-
iian sugar lands will the sooner re-
lieve us of our dependence upon Ger
many and other European countries as
the base of our supplies of sugar. We
can absorb the Hawaiian cane sugar
as well as all the beet and cane sugar
that we are likely to grow for very
many years to come. American citizens
nave emigrated to Hawaii in such num-
bers, and have acted there with such
energy, that they already own three
fourths of the property there and trans
act threefourths of it's business. 1t is
American policy to protect our citizens
there, as well as their property, just
as it is American policy to protect our
people and property on the Pacific
Coast
Hawaii is already AmericaniZed in it's
laws, it's customs, it's business and in
it's society. The Hawaiian senate has
ratified the treaty of annexation. The
ratifying vote of the United States is
now alone needed to make Hawaii be-
come American in law as well as in
fact. That ratifying vote should be
given by the United States senate
promptly in December next. Then the
Stars and Stripes will rise over Ha-
waii, never again to be lowered.

The Outlook for Farmers.

The wheat market has probably
reached it's best. Dollar wheat is sat
isfactory, and if it remains in that
neighborhood it will be abundantly
satisfactory to farmers. There may
not be short crop in Europe next
year, and the demand for export wheat
may not be so great. But by next year
American labor will find better en-
ployment, and the domestic demand
for wheat will be greater. We may
not have dollar wheat next year; but
it will be much nearer the dollar mark
than the 25 cent mark, as predicted
by Bryan and his Jealous followers
year ago. The outlook for the farmers
is encouraging. - Knoxville, Tenr'.,

How Bobby Went to the Grocery.

How Bobby Went to the Grocery.
Bobby had started down town with
a grocery list, and it was the first time
he had gone alone, so he felt very
proud and happy over it. But by and
by he stopped under lamp post to
rest
''It's purity hard work to walk all
alone to the grocery MANS" he
thought. Just then girl came by and
stopped to mail letter in the iron
box on the lamp post.
Bobby watched her with much in
terest
Where does it go to-" he asked.
''The letter." answered the girl.
"Oh, down to the postoffice. Didn't you
ever see posyoffice box before?"
mo, ma'am," said Bobby. "'Cause
we've just moved here from the coun-
try.
Then, as the girl went on, Bobby
stood still looking at the box.
81 wonder if it wouldn't take my
grocery list down." he thought.
"'Cause if it's smart enough to take
letters, should think it would be able
to take a grocery list"
So he tucked his paper in and sat
down to see what would happen,
though his conscience pricked him a
little.
"My mother might not like it," he
thought. 81 wish 1 had thought to tell
her about it first"
Presently a man dressed in gray
drove up, and, jumping out of his
buggy, unlocked the box and took out
the letters.
Bobby stood up on tiptoe, and tried
to see in.
81 thought" he explained to the
man, maybe I'd have some groceries
there. put list in"
NO. said the man, laughing, "this
doesn't deliver groceries. But you
climb in the buggy, and I'll take you
down to the grocery. Here's your list. !"
The grocery man let Bobby drive
back with him, and when Bobby saw
his mother looking anxiously out of
the door, he at once began to explain.
Il tried to ex-ex-peppermint with
box, mother" he said, "but was sorry
though it was tormentous long ways
to the grocery mans, and If they
hadn't let me ride I don't know how
I'd managed. But won't do it again,
mother, truly"
mo, Bobby" said his mother, Eek
periments don't always turn out right,
and it's better to go along the way
your mother expects you to-"
"Yes, that's So" said Bobby. "I
won't forget that."-The Outlook.
