AT THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC.

AT THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
The Manhattan Stock Company gave
the last performance of it's engagement
at the Academy of Music last night to
fair audience. The play was enlivened
with many choice bits of humor and real
genuine fun. though the thread of the
story was serious enough. 1t was "Rose-
dale" with its English country life and
the Gypsy camp, the well-known play in
which Lester Wallack made a reputa-
ton. MIron Leffingwell made an ex-
ceedingly acceptable Elliott Grey, and
Miss Laura Alberta was a charming
and suitable Rosa Leigh. The special
scenery. the conscientious acting and
good support in even the real small parts
make this company, in view of the
price of admission. theatrical bonanza
that Raleigh has been stupid in not
Selling with aviulty. There will be lots
of shows here this season no better than
this, that will cost you q silver "plunk."

"NIMRoD" MADE THE SHOW.
But it was Show That was Well
Worth the Price OF Admission.

Nimrod, surnamed George Washing
ton, because, as he explained, he had
been born with the Ratchet of truth in
his hand and had never been able tn
turn the handle loose, was the whole
show ait Metropolitan Hall last night
or rather he was the best part Of it.
Nimrod was negro-"ans American
citizen of sunburnt descent" who knew
his place and kept it--one of that noble
race that is so rapidly disappearing to
give place to the 'cullud gemmun, SIR
who is not worth the killing. No dog
could be more faithful to his master
than was Nimrod, no detective could
be more watchful, no soldier drawer, no
hero more self-denying, no philanthropy
list more generous-hearted, nobody better
natured where his confidence had been
won or more suspicious and unforgiving
where wrong has been done.
This was the character that Mr.. Dan
CASTILLO had last night and, barring bad
dialect, he impersonated it to perfection
in "Over the Hills to the Poor House."
AS for the other characters in the cast
they were good, bad and Indifferent, prin-
cipally the two last. Harry Arnold
was the good one; the others were the
rest. Most of them yelled their lines
all the way through, as if they
were playing to a deaf and dumb asylum
or talking to people in Durham. But
withal that, they could not keep Nimrod
from making the performance worth the
price of admission and much more-a
really enjoyable performance, with here
and there yellow streak in it.
AS to the specialties, they were all
very good except the gray headed jokes
of the man who impersonated the preach
er; these were something awful. But he
seemed to enjoy them himself, and that
was some cOnsola ton.
Tonight Her One Mistake" will be
presented.

BLUE ASBESTOS.
Canada and Italy Have serious
Competitor I'm Africa.

Canada and italy Have n Serious
Competitor in Africa.
Canadian and Italian asbestos will
find a serious competitor in the blue as
bestos recently discovered in the Cape
Colony, since the South African product
is less than half as heavy and furnishes
fibers considerably finer and longer
than any other, says the Detroit Tri-
bune. The South African fiber has been
worked into webs, which are but little
inferior to those made of vegetable
fiber, and are absolutely fireproof.
Irvine, cord and rope made of this blue
asbestos will not only resist fire, but
also most of the known chemicals, cor
rosive vapors and atmospheric intlu-
ences. These qualities will open a
new field for the employment of ashes
tos fabrics in chemical laboratories, and
for the caulking of chemical apparatus.
A novel application of this material
is the working of blue asbestos fiber
into mattresses for hospitals. They
are cooler in summer and warmer in
winter than those made either Of ami
NAL hair or vegetable fiber, and no YER
min can live in this mattress. Expert
ments are now being made of working
this fiber into cloth for firemen's APP
parel. OF course the long fiber blue as
bestos can also be employed for all the
uses to which white asbestos has been
put heretofore. While trife more ex'
pensive, its superior qualities make il
well worth the difference.

Probably they We're afraid that you
would scratch your shoes on the rough
seats. Anyhow, the signs there.
"On the car there was but one other
passenger, evidently friend of the
gripman. He was sitting in the seat
next to the official, and the two enjoyed
a long and animated discussion con-
corning the system of transfers soon to
go into operation over the new extern
sion of the Oak street line. In q careless
way had placed my foot upon the seat,
or rather my toe was against the edge,
but in no danger of harming the wood

in an authoritative tone said:

Kansas City Kitten That Fooled with
Fly Paper.
A small, gray kitten in Kansas City
walked back and forth in store win
dow the other day; conscious of her
graceful appearance she lifted her feet
daintily and curled her tail up over her
back. Suddenly noise in the store
startled her, and she lowered her head
and dropped her tail, as she turned
stealthily to investigate. This was a
mistake. For the tail came in contat {
with a piece Of sticky fly paper, and all
the efforts she made to remove it but
increased her discontinue and humili-
alton. She shook her 1.-THE body, and the
tail was wagged vigorously, but the
paper held her faster and tighter than
it ever held fly. She put her forepaw
down; it stuck. Her little hind paw
came to the rescue, and was held where
it fell. Frantic and mewing piteously,
she rolled over and over, till enwrapped
in drapery of flypaper, she tumbled
off the window platform and was gone.
No one knew where or how, with but
two feet free and those on corners dag
onally opposite, she had managed TO
get out of sight and hearing. But she
did it, and the hypaper went with her.

CANNON BALL STORY.
Alfred Grissom Tells of n Narrow Es-
cape In Alabama

Alfred Grissom Tells of n Narrow Es-
cape In Alabama.
Alfred Grissom, the manager of the
summer excursion boats, has cannon
ball story which he says is Gospel truth.
People in the excursion business have
a strict regard for veracity, and many
of his friends believe every word of it,
says the St. Louis Republic.
Several years ago, the story runs,
Mr.. Grissom was in St. James parish,
La. He had occasion to visit sawmill
where the big cottonwood logs were be-
ing cut into lumber. His attention was
attracted to particularly large log,
when suddenly there was loud crash,
like that of the teeth striking nail.
Windows were broken, men shouted
and the machinery was stopped. Mr..
Grissom was not hurt as he had i'm.
agined. Something had happened and
he stopped to see the cause. The big
log was removed from the rack and
split open. A large cannon ball was
imbedded in the center. The saw had
struck it and broke into q myriad OF
pieces which flew in all directions. Five
pieces passed through his hat, one
struck his watch and glanced off, an
other hit a silver dollar in his vest
pocket and left scratch along its sur
face. Luckily, none of the flying par
ticles struck his body or did other in
jury than break few panes of glass II

LUBRiCATING A WATCH.
No Other Piece of Machinery VIII Run
So Long After a Single Ojling.


No Other Piece of Machinery VIII Run
So Long After a Single ojling.
Very few of the millions of people
who carry watches realize to what q
powerful extent fabrication is de-
veloped, and what an extraordinary
number of turns the balance wheel
makes with one oiling, says the Phila-
delphia Record. A Chestnut street
matchmaker, whose knowledge of these
wonderful pieces of mechanism is not
exceeded by any man in this city, has
made up an interesting table OF COM
parison TO show the perfection OF lubri-
cation in watch.
A watch will run on one oiliEg from
a year to year and half. Every min
ute the balance wheel turns on its
axis $50 times, and $1,000 times in an
hour. Accepting the year as the time
the ordinary watch will run with one
oiling, he finds that if the driver of a
locomotive was as well oiled as bal
ance wheel of watch, it ought to run
go miles an hour day and night for
GAS DAYS. or well on to two years, with
one oiling. In that time it would
traverse distance equal to nearly four
times the circumference of the earth.
In view of the fact that in reality
few locomotives will run one day with
out reoiling, he maintains that the
matchmaker has developed his art to a
far greater degree than the locomotive
builder has yet been able to reach.

itself until William J. Eddy, Of New

aerial transportation. Mr.. Eddy has
built a continuance formed offour huge
kites arranged in q square, four feet
apart. These kites can be sent up in
