Lothrop,s Opera House.

The play at Lothrop's Opera House this
week Is interesting and the players en-
ployed in the cast are competent to inter-
pret the several characters properly
Melodrama has a firm hold on the average
theatei -goer because il contains much
that appeals to nearly all sorts of people
First and foremost IL has a strong heart
interest AMI this is always accepta BILE to
oil parts OF the house. Melodrama also
permits Of a large number of situations
and climaxes. The leading man has all
the opportunity he desires, the leading
lady never complsins and the comedians
all have fat parts. "The Two Wanderers,
presented this week, has several charac-
ters that are of prime interest and they
are played interestingly. The combine
tioD meets with the approval natural to
such conditions and "The Two Wander
ers" makes strong attraction this week.
The story Is of the fortunes OF two waits,
victims OF the designs of Williams who
resort to all sorts of schemes to defrsud
the innocent and HELPLESS out of their
rights. The scene is laid in New York
and from there Ii is transferred to a min
ing camp in California. Finally the truth |
becomes known and the guilty persons
are punished. The incidents leading up |
to the final happy conclusion suustain |
the attention and keep the attention of |
the audience to the end. L. II. Thomas
played Dick, the orphan, bumorously and
u. w. Watson made the colored servant
julius very funny. Frank Am brose played
the william with due appreciation, Thomas
McCabe made the Italian adventurer an
important part and Walter Walker was
effective as the friend to the friendless.
Miss Kate V. Weston was surprisingly
good as Rosalie Vernon, tire victim of tue
plots, and Miss Florencs Mack played the
ealous woman with proper appreciation.
rne other players in the cast were salts
sctory. The play was put upon the stage
n careful manner and little fault could
,e found with the performances. "Tho
Two Wanderers" will te played all the
week.

Two centuries ago the Dutch de-
stroyed every nutmeg tree in the Mo-
luccas in order to enjoy q monopoly of
the business, having planted the trees
in their own possessions. In spite Of
their most earnest efforts, however, the
islands were being constantly restocked
For a long time the thing was O mys-
terry, but at length it was solved. The
doves of that quarter of the world are
of large size, and readily swallow the
seed Of the nutmeg, the fruit of which
they are very fond. OF wandering
habits and having great wing power,
they traverse wide stretches of sea and
land in q few hours, and deposit the
seeds of the nutmeg not only uninjured
but better fitted for termination by the
heat and moisture of the birds sys-
tenn. BY a similar process thousands
of acres Of land have been covered
with trees of different kinds, the birds
actingas natures agents in the dissent
nation of plants. But in quite another
manne do they transport seeds from
place to place. Darwin found in six
grains of earth adhering to the feet of
a plover three different kinds of seeds,
and in the mud sticking to the feet of
ducks and geese shot in England he
found the seeds of plants peculiar to
the Victoria Nyanza, in Central Africa,
thus proving not only the extent of
migration, but also the possibility of
plants appearing in strange localities
through the agency of these birds. In
the mud sticking to the feet of a Texas
steer the seeds of five different kinds
of weeds and grasses common in Texas
were found by a microscopic after the
arrival Of the animal in New York.
