McCullum's Theatre.

BARLEY McCullum began the second
week of his summer season at the Peaks
Island theatre last night with a four act
comedy drama entitled 'sThe Westerner. -
The play was presented with the usual
care as to details manifested in all Mr.
McCullum's productions, and scored an
immense hit, keeping large audience
in a perfect uproar of laughter for the
entire evening. The scenes of the play
are all laid in New York, but a western
man is the central figure of the story. This
part was taken by Mr.. Pascoe in tho
roughly creditable manner The third
act calls for some very intense work,
but he was equal to the emergency and
brought out all the strength of his char
acter most admirably. Miss Maude Win
ter played the part of Mary Lawton, the
Westerner's sweetheart, and won the
hearts of her audience long before the
curtain fell. Her dainty, refined work,
her charming simplicity of manner and
her pleasing personality will win her
many friends before she leaves the ISL
and. Beatrice Ingram was as bright and
dashing as ever in the part of Jessie
Deans. BARLEY McCullum as Simon
Deans, deacon from Maine, and Miss
Reynolds as his wife, both had parts tc
their liking. Me-. Bridgeland as the vii
liam of the play, met all the requirements
Of the part. Mr.. Dvorak made his first
appearance last night and made good
impression. There will be two matinees
of the Westerner, Wednesday and Satur-
day afternoons.

NO TUBERCULOSIS.
Report of Examination of DIR. Smith in
the BluehiIl Case.

Following is the report of DR.. Charles
d. Smith of this city upon the result of
his examination of the case at Blue Hill,
where it is alleged family of children
died from the effects of drinking milk
of COW inflicted by tuberculosis, made
at the request of the board of agriculture:
Portland, June 10, 1897.
1 have the honor to submit a report
upon the pathological examination Of
certain specimens submitted to me by
| your board for examination to deter
mine the presence or absence of tuber-
culosis.
On Saturday, June 18th, I received
from DR.. John f. Manning of Ellsworth,
specimens labelled as follows: A-lungs
of the Bridges child deceased May Both.
B-lungs of the Bridges child deceased
May goth. C-portion of the udder of a
cow owned by Bridges, said to have
tuberculosis and killed May 10Th. D.
portion of the lung Zone lobe) of the same
| cow, all in excellent state of preservation
and in condition highly favorable to the
accuracy of the results of examination.
Accompanying these specimens were
two others: E-Sputum from Luther
Bridges, now seriously ill from the same
disease of which the children died. F.
Sputum of j. Bridges, age 6, nearly recov-
cred from the disease Of which his sisters
died.
All of these specimens have been ex-
amlned for the presence of tubercle bacilli
and the report in detail is as follows:
1-Sputum of Luther Bridges, result
negative.
2-Sputum of j. Bridges, result mega
tive. Both, however, show the presence
of large numbers of micro-organisms
| croupous pneumonia, and in physical
| characteristics the sputum of the father
is typical of that found in this disease.
3-Lung of the COW and scrapings from
the bronchial tubes, both results as to
tubercle, negative. The lung shows evil
dence of old pleurfsy, the peural mem
brane being adhered over a portion of the
| lung about three inches in diameter and
considerably thickened.
adder of the COW, result negative.
| Sections of the udder show some evidence
of old infammatory action and injury,
traces of scar tissue being apparent
5-Lungs of the children. These may
be considered together, since in all esseth-
| tials the pathological condition is the
| same in each. No tubercle bacilli were
| found, nor do the sections show the pres
| ence Of any tissue changes which can be
attributed to tuhercular infection. The
gross appearance of these lungs and the
microscopical appearance of prepared
sections show them to be the seat of ex-
tenSive croupouS pneumonia. oF
l have considered the determination of
the true nature of these cases of SO much
Importance and l have verified the find
ing in each specimen by these methods
of examination and the result has been
the same. My conclusions are: THAT
the children who died, died of Group
pneumonia and not of tuberculosis. p
That the present illness of Luther Bridges
and his son is pneumonia and not tuber-
culosis 3-that no tuberculosis was pres.
emit in the COW from which came por-
lions of the lung and udder which, I
have examined.

Since the remarkable success of
growing sisal hemp in the Bermu-
das was made under the intelli-
gent supervision of Sir Ambrose
Shea, the governor, the people
of other lands are following the
business. The plant is now cult
waited in Florida, but it does not do
we'll above the middle belt of that
State, owing to the frosts. Some
experiments have been made here
in the cultivation of the plant, and
in several instances, it has not
proved successful. This is prob
ably due to planting in uncon-
genial soil. The plant requires lit
tie water and does best on coral
land. The absorption of the en-
ergy of the Islands in the cultiva-
ton of cane, prevents, so far, a
thorough and exhaustive expert
ment in ascertaining its value. Ev-
eryone admits the pressing need of
diversified industries. The politi-
cal solution justifies the Govern
ment in paying as much attention
to such industries as it does to the
educational system. Mr.. a. IL.
Turner, we hear, has been making
a study of the business, as it is de
scribed in many publications, and
purposes to enlist home capital III

dred acres in the Eva district
There are now, at hand, about
100000 plants, with which an AIDE

started. In this, as in all new In
dustries, patience, intelligence anc
staying qualities are necessary tt
success. On these depend the cos
of experience.
