A TREAT FOR THE STUDENTS.

The Frances Hughes Concert Compan
gave free concert last night to the, stu
dents Of Virginia College in the chapel of
the college building, which was highly
enjoyed by all present. This company is
composed entirely of stars, who..have the
rare power of psychological interpreta-
ton of music and of creating musical
world of their own. The two brightest
stars Of this constellation around which
the others were clustered were Miss
Hughes, the celebrated harpist, and Miss
Apply, the cello player. Miss. Hughes, who
possesses u rare and delicate touch and
displays grace and ability in manipulate
ing her instrument, was repeatedly en-
cored and her audience never tired of lis
tening to the grand melodies which she
produced. Miss Apply is also musical
genius CT the highest ability and is the
complete master of her instrument, and
by her exquisite performing made the
near strings of her hearers ,ibrate and
culver as did the strings of her cello.
Miss Lester, the soprano soloist, throws
her whole soul into the piece she is sing.
ing and becomes seemingly oblivious to
her surroundings by entering into the
soul OF the piece. Her expression and
finish are excellent and she is blessed
with voice marvellous in it's sweetness.
Miss Godfrey is one of the most finished
pianists heard in this city and interprets
the music with great richness of feeling,
suggestion and delineation
Mr.. Rawson Wade, the baritone, was
complete success. His manner while
unassuming is yet most pleasing, aud his
intonation nd vocalization are of the
highest order. The folio wing programme

THE LAST NIGHT.

The performance of last night at the
Academy closed the engagement of the
Lees, world renowned hypnotists, in
Roanoke. Never has show had such
successful! run in our city. At every op.
portunity the people have showed their
appreciation OF the wonderful by attend
ing the entertainment iR large numbers.
The feature of the matinee was the pres
ence of about twenty five ladies' upon the
stage, who responded to the unseen power
and were "gotten" more successfully
than the men. Strange as it may appear,
many were unable to talk when called
upon. Only the physical work was gone
through with the ladies', but about fifteen
of the best mental subjects were called
upon to furnish an hours amusement for
the large audience. The fun last night
was simply overpowering The best or
the previous work was placed upon the
stage and from start to finish the large
crowd was in an uproar Of laughter The
Lees will always be gladly received by
The Roanoke public. The next attraction
will be Murray & Mack, the old time ia
vorites, in the intensely humorous on next
Wednesday.

Today's Shooting Tournament.

All the big guns and the little guns and
some of the guns that are neither big or
little will be here, today and tomorrow.
for the annual meet of the Maine gun
clubs. The best of it all. they are going
to stay with us for two whole days. 1t
may be well to say right here that the
Waterville Gun Club is the champion
team of the State to date, and besides
this, we have the Individual champion
among us. 1t would be hardly fair for
Waterville to carry off all the honors, it
would not be courteous to our guests, so
We have in mind only the State team
championship. This We claim and Will
make fight to keep in this city. The
Waterville club will be somewhat handi-
capped by the fact that one of the mem
bers sprained a wrist and another has
been on the sick list for about three
weeks.
The list of prizes contains more money
than has ever been offered for like
event in Maine. Every purse will have
added money and the prizes are all of
value, 20 in all. Great preparations have
been made by the local club to give the
visitors all they can ask in the way of
entertainment. A shelter has been built
for the shooting point, and substantial
clubhouse has also been built for the ac-
commodation of those who may desire
to use it. George Osborne will be the
| caterer for the occasion and dinners may
be had at his booth on the grounds. The
local management has arranged for the
accommodation of spectators, and ladies
with or without escort will be looked
after i'm the most courteous manner.
In conversation with Secretary Wyman
of the Waterville club, last evening, that
gentleman said. in his usual modest way:
| We expect to lose both the Individual
and State team championship honOrs''
But there, accidents will happen.
Leroy, one of the best shots of Massa-
chusetts, has sent his ammunition along
and will be here in all his sublime love-
illness. while j. c. Corson, the champion
OF Franklin county, is already in the city
reach the shooting grounds, that is. If
the grounds really shoot. take the Elec-
trio cars, or let them take you. to Colul n
bian avenue. and then 1t is but five min
| utes' walk to the grounds on Drummond
avenue.

Rush to Secure Profits Depressed Market.

New York, Aug. 17.-Leading opera
tors, today, made a rush to secure
profits, with the results that wheat
prices dropped 2 cents bushel from
last night; or rs cents from the high
est point of yesterday. The trade was
loaded up with wheat, producing a top
heavy condition readily susceptible to
any adverse influences. The fact that
English markets showed a weaker I'M
dertone this morning, therefore created
big commotiOn among holders Wheat
began to pour into the pit from all di-
rections. Reaching its greatest volume
in the afternoon. the selling pressure
forced September down to $685. cents. 1t
having sold at 91Ls cents shortly after
the opening.
At the decline. Europe was only a
moderate buyer of wheat, taking about
40 loads at New York and outports,
which fact contributed to the general
heaviness of the.afternoon.
Home crop news was bullish but was
unable to offset the depressed situation.
Spring wheat adyices were decidedly
unfavorable. LOCAL speculation was
about half the volume of yesterday.

A Great Joke -On the j0ker.y

There is a baker and a druggist in
this city that are the best of friends
and at the same time they think they
are both great jokers. The druggist
saw an opportunity. yesterday morning.
to play little practical joke on his
friend the baker. The circus is here
or should be by this time and the drug
gist believed it would a great thing to
send the baker a large order, so he
wrote an order for 100 turn-overs for
circus day. No name was signed to the
order but as the handwriting looked
familiar the baker thought the order
was all right and that the person who
had written the order had forgotten to
sign it but would call for the stock the
order called for at the proper time.
During the day the baker called on the
druggist and told him that he had re-
ceived a good order for circus day and
his men had the order nearly made up.
What was it for?" asked the drug
gist. IA. .
Zone Thousand turn-overs," replied
the baker. D."
Good Heavens, didn't you know that
that was a joker"
baker, but he began to see the posi-
bility of one of his friends little pleas
antries, and as he had intended to
make up a large order of the same kind
of stock for today, he just thought he
would carry the joke OF, so he said
further, "why l have the written order
in my desk and have paid out money
enough to make quite :. n. 1t will
cost the man who sent that order just
$27 anyway"
But it was joke I tell YOU"
and l say that it was no joke unless
it is joke on the man that sent that
order as he will see when he comes to
pay me my $27. Bet your life it is no
joke on me- and the baker went off
about his business leaving the druggist
to wonder but never to guess if he will
have to pay the $27.

Would Corner Barley.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 17.-Milwau-
kee operators say that wealthy syndi-
cate has been formed in Chicago for
the purpose of cornering barley. A
number of helpless shorts who thought
36 cents was high price for No.
barley. are now frantically bidding 1t
cents higher in their efforts to cover
and retire at considerable loss.
About a month ago crop prospects
were favorable but heavy fall of rain
just prior to the beginning of harvest
ing operations changed the entire as
pect of affairs and they disclosed the
fact that excessive moisture had dis
colored the entire crop. rendering it I'M
fit for delivery on contracts and unde-
sirable for mailing.
The scramble for light colored grain
that followed the announcement was
succeeded by the influx of orders that
quickly advanced values 10 cents a
bushel. Sixty cents is now freely pre-
dicted for new No. 2 barley, and in
view of the prospects for a higher
range of values, farmers are boarding
their supplies.
