NOTES ABOUT THE PLAY.

1'ae Dayton Evening Herald says oil
Hoyt's "a Contented Woman: The com.
pany Mr.. IIoyt has sent out this season
TO present his pet comedy is all that was
claimed for it--the strongest he has ever
organized. II is headed by Miss Belle
| Archer, an acureSS OF unQuestlonabe tai
| emit and one of the most beautiful women
| on the American stage. Her portrayal of
che character of Grace Holmes is a charm
| ing bit of work. The costumes are models
OF the moaiste's art, ana are the most
gracefully worm Fannie Denham Reuse,
as Aunt Jim, Is inimltable. while Henrietta
Lee as the sportive grass widow carried
| u.le part with appropriate dash and
vivaci;y. As already stated the cast is the
| strongest ever seen In a Hoyt comedy and
| limited space forbids further mention The
, specialties which are introduced through
| out the piece are novel, up to date and
| thoroughly enjoyable. Bonny Lotte intro
| duces her dancing speciality. one of the
| best ever seen here. ann proved herself
worthy of the title of the dancing marvel.
~
William Fl. Vests claim that he has re-
vived old time high class minstrelsy is no
idle boast. Indeed. Mr.. West has gathered
| about him as cltwer a lot of people, in
| their respective lines, as have ever been
| seen In a minstrel combination in Wash
inston, Colonel Jack Haverlv, when his
celebrated troupe was at its best, may
nave had more attractions In his SHOW but
the best he had never eXcelled what Mr..
West offers now. No attempt is made at
innovation in the character of the min strel
show; Father, Mr.. West has gone TO the
other extreme OF following old-ti mod
els in minstrelsy. But with genuine min
strel talent TO supplement his effort the
generous. spontaneous applause met with
NJ the Academy last night proved that he
had made no mistake In his ideals or in
the successful carrying of them out. The
Academy was packed and probably in al
Its history there was never an audience
more agreeably entertained. Tie laughter
and applause was almost COZ ,inuous.

The following from the Carson APP
peal applies with equal force to Edko:
II the Business men of this town
will all pail together the entire trade
OF the county surroundings can be
corralled. There is but one way to
do it. Put your prices in reach of
purchasers and this will prevent the
sending OF money to San Francisco.
The next thing in order is to let the
people know what yanr prices are.
There are business men in Carson
who advertise in the daily papers
that they are running a certain kind
OF business at a certain place. This
information is not new to the public,
but let them tell the public what
their prices are and they will sell
their goods great deal faster. To
make business lively the only true
plan is big sales and small profits
and this effectually disposes Of goods
at such rate that they never get old
on your hands. BY a preconcerted
effort the entire trade of the country
lying contiguous to Carson can be
concentrated here and Carson can be
put on its feet where it used to be
before the dry rot set in.

ht W. EOr1D1ay known N 1zDO-
struetive EnGine 81 War.
The Old Antietam gun recently sent
to the McShane foundries to be recast,
says the Baltimore American, has been
reduced to a condition of absolute
harmlessness. It's laundering roar has
been silenced forever. It's military util-
ity has become thing of the past. No
longer does it maintain its original
identity. No longer is it recognizable
as an engine of war. In the language
of the foundry sit has been badly
broken up"
The old bronze destroyer has lost
its primitive power OF death and now
lies ruined and mutilated in the shop
awaiting the next process in its course
OF transformation. 1t has been cut into
number of comparatively small pieces.
This has been done in order to reduce
it to a convenient state, such as is re-
quired, in order that it may easily enter
the crucible. This breaking process is
forced by special tools particularly
adapted to just such work
Already the old gun has been split
up into six or eight pieces. The break
ing process may be still further contin-
used until it is sufficiently reduced to
make it perfectly workable. It will then
be melted and recast, issuing from it's
final process in condition proper to be
used as index plates. This, however,
will not be effected for several weeks
yet. There still remains some detail
planning to he completed before the
gun will be carried through it's final
stages of gradual transformation.

RoSETTEs ON BRIDES.

They Cost,

What They Are Made of and What
They Cost.
The bride of pretty much every har-
ness has upon it rosettes, more or less
ornamental, one on each side. placed
at the ends of the front or brow band.
These rosettes are made in very great
variety. Some are made of tin, some
of German silver, and some of German
silver covered with a thin sheet of sill
yer. Some rosettes are plain, some are
embossed. They sell at prices ranging
from practically nothing to two dollars
pair. Rosettes of this kind are often
engraved with the'monogram or with
initials. Engraved roscttes are not in
frequently seen on business harness.
There are costlier rosettes that are
used on carriage harness only, and are
made some of leather and some of sill,
ribbon. These, are made by hand in
various sizes, and of various colors and
combinations of colors. Handsome ro-
settles of leather sell at $3.50 to SIS a
pair, depending upon the size; the rib
bon rosettes at from five to ten dol
lars a pair. Rosettes of this kind are
not sold with the harness: They are
bought separately, as ornaments. Rib
bon rosettes costing ten dollars a pair,
might, for instance, be bought to at
tach to the brides of q fine double har-
ness costing, say, $500 n set.

Compressed Flour.

The British admiralty and the
war department are testing, under
various climatic conditions, the new
method for preserving flour. One
objection to the establishment Of ma
tlonal granaries has been the diff
Guilty Of storing grain for any length
of time, The grain terminates and
is ruined, and to keep large quantities
in sound condition has been pro-
nounced impracticable. Expert
ments are being made with a syst en-
OF compression into bricks by n.y.
drauic pressure. The trials show
that the -four 30 treated is not affect
ed by damp, even under favoryble
conditions, and is free from mould.
The compression destroys all forms
OF larval life and the flour is thus
rendered safe from the attacks Of in
scots. The saving in storage is enor-
nous, rs the cubic space occupied by
LOO pounds of loose -four will hold
more than 300 pounds of the com
pressed article.-Scientitic American.

Up to within few days of the ar

Steamship company's steamer Austria
liza, reports the San Francisco Call, Capt.
Houdlette was the owner of plover
that came aboard while on its way
from Alaska to Hawaii. These birds
are not web-footed, and the captain
seems to have solved the problem as
to whether they ever rest on the
water during their long flight. Capt.
Houdlette says they do. "It was dur
ing the run from San Francisco to Hon
olulu that l saw several plovers in the
