DE sOTo GETTING IN READINGS,
VIII BE n Busy Scene During the
seventh Corps Stay.

seventh Corps Stay.
Managers Watson and Powers of the
Hotel De Soto are having the work of
repair and renovation that has been going
on for some time FASTENED in order that
they may have the hotel as nearly as
possible in a finished condition for the re-
ception of Gen. Lee and his staff or off,
GERS when they arrive. The De Soto is
TO be the headquarters Of the corps, and,
in addition to the officers of the command
ing generals staff, there will be many
more who will engage rooms.
The managers of the hotel confidently
expect the contractors to turn it over to
them by Nov. ]. Last week fifteen rooms
were finished up, all the plumbing and
retitting having been completed. There
remain about forty-five rooms unfinished.
The management would not be sorry to
see a little delay in the arrival of the
officers, as it is desired to have the hotel
in complete readiness when they come.
II is thought, though. that ample accom-
modations can be furnished with the rooms
now at its disposal.
Mr.. Powers made a trip down to Tampa
at the time Tampa Bay Hotel was in
its glory during the summer. This was
when Gen. Shafter was there with his
general officers at the hotel, staff officers
were there In abundance, military attaches
represented the armies of Europe and
there was a constant stream of courers
going ana coming with important dis
patches. There was unusal activity at
the Tampa Bay on account of the expedi.
ton to Cuba being about to set out in
time of war. Correspondents galore were
there, and several of the writer's who sign
all three of their names were to be seen
in semi military garb At the De Soto
there will scarcely be the same activity
and interest as at Tampa, but the lobby
and dining room of the hotel win wear an
unwonted look when they are flooded with
officers and the many people who come
with the army
Many of the officers will have their wives
and other members of their families here
with them. 1t IS expected that the corps
win be sent to Cuba, and the officers will
naturally wish to see those dear to them
before setting out. Board at the hotels
win be expensive and 1t is not likely that
all of the officers will secure accommoda-
tions there for their families Already
rooms have been secured or applied for
at several of the private boarding houses
and these, as well as the hotels, will all
probably be pretty well filed while the
troops are here.

what plumber put wash tubs in his laun-

the sewer
When the Inspector tried to find who
did the work about the only thing he could
extract from the Chinaman was that a
negro did it. The inspector was not in

and accordingly cited him to appear be-
fore the Recorder, whose task will be 10

At THE THEATER.

George Wilson is stin name to conjure

audience at the theater last night. His

~ a minstrel man"
Minstrel shows are like circuses-much
the same. There was very little new in the
show East night. though altogether it was
a very good performance. There was the
usual opening TO the tune OF The Stars
and Stripes Forever" which went very
well Then there were songs and jokes
and Jokes and songs. The singing was es-
pecially good. The Habits On" and "All
Alone" of John Queen seemed 10 hit the
audience.
George Wilson was there with his own
peculiar chatter, his songs and his laugh,
but 1t was not the same Old George of
years gone by. He is still entertaining and
amusing, but he does not make the au-
dience lose itself In boisterous laughter as
he once did. A feature Of the show was
the banjo playing of Ed HAN who is IN
doubtedly the king Of performers on that
instrument.

and like others he has written, is both
melodramatic and spectacular Carter IL
an author who sketches as he writes,
therefore, il is not surprising that his
scenic effects are realistic. His storm
scene at Apia in Under the Dome is SO
vivid that the curtain has to be raised
many times a every production. The sight
of the railroad scenes in the Fast MaiP'
and Heart of Chicago are lifelike. The
tornado scene in his play by that name is
50 realistic that people have run out of
theaters 10 escape its vididness. In all
of his plays there is nothing to offend or
shock. He has never dipped his pen into
the questionable to color his word paint
ing. His heroines are not all women with
pasts and his comedy appeals to the sense
of the ludicrous rather than vulgarty.
Mr.. Carters latest play Remember the
Maine" is said to be the most realistic
that he has yet produced.

rhe supar Reet.

Our State college has sent out a
bulletin on the sugar beet in Penn
sylvania. 1t states that the con-
sumption of sugar in the United
States is nearly or quite two million
tons annually or about 81 pounds to
each person. OF this amount So
per cent is imported from foreign
counties, and its actual value at
ports of entry, not including Gus
toms duties, averaged for the years
1875 over one hundred million
dollars. Within the past two years
there has been a notable revival of
interest in the question whether
this country cannot produce its su-
gar and particular attention has
been directed to the sugar as
source. The sugar beet is now pro
ducing Ga per cent of the world
sugar supply and nearly all this
amount is produced in the countries
Of Continental Europe. OF our own
domestic production of sugar
amounting to about 300, 600 tons per
annum, "a per cent is produced from
the sugar cane, IA per cent from
beets and 2 per cent from miscellane-
Gus sources. The problem of domes-
tic production of sugar from beets
is divided in two questions, first the
production of the beets and second
manufacturing sugar from them.
The industry cannot be carried on
successfully except on a very large
scale. The smallest size of factory
profitable must have capacity of
three hundred tons of beets a day
and will cost two hundred thousand
dollars. Farmers cannot manufac-
ture beet sugar with simple ana in
expensive apparatus. A factory
must have q large territory tribu-
tary to it, and running seventy

2,100 acres assuming the product to
be ten tons per acre which is a fair
crop. The cost of raising beets per
acre is fairly estimated at from $50
to $40. and the value of the crop at
the factory would range from $40 to
$50. This State has good "sugar
beet belt" but whether any given
locality is adapted to raising them
can only be told with certainty by
actual trial From the above it
would seem that sugar beets could
not be profitably grown in this
county for the reason, if no other,
that sufficient land conveniently
located so as to be contiguous to Il
factory could not at present be
found

Seed Distribution.

Three car loads of rare and valua-
BILE seeds and plants are now lying in
the seed rooms of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington,
waiting to be distributed to the Gov
ernment experiment stations and to
other experimenters among the
farmers, for tests during the coming
season. These seeds are the out
come of Secretary Wilson's deter
mination to ransack the globe for
seeds and plants which may prove
of value to the American farm. Un-
der his direction, special'agent has
been travelling for eight months
throughout the countries of western
and southern Asia, the oldest section
of the earth, investigating different
varieties and buying such seeds as
are known or supposed to be of eco
nomic value to this country. Mr..
Wilson believes he has secured some
species of forage plants especially
adapted to withstand droughts,
which will be of immense value to
some of our western sections. A
large quantity of alfalfa has been
procured from Eastern Turkestan
which will stand terrific droughts,
and when it is remembered that our
own alfalfa, now so Indispensable to
our western farmers, came origin
ally from Arabia, it will be seen
that we yet may have much to learn
from that section of the world where
the human race originated. Prof.
Neils Hansen, the agent selected by
Mr.. Wilson for the trip, has secured
a most valuable fund of scientific
information, which will be embodied
in a bulletin to be issued later by
the Department. Mr.. Hansen states
that many of the seeds procured
