Crude Oil on Roads.


Crude oil has been proved to be of use,
not only in suppressing the dust nuisance
on railroads, but in improving the condition
of the highways. At the good roads conven-
ton in ST. Louis recently Major Meigs,
civil engineer of Keokuk. Ia, asserted that
he had obtained very good results with oil,
and recommended the wide experimentation.
Major Meigs's attention was first directed
to the use of oil by reading in a F'ennsyl
vania paper that oil from q leaking pipe had
dried up a spot in the road that was nearly
impossible in wet weather. According to
the story, the ground became saturated with
oil, and very soon it was noticed that the
mud ried up and the surface of the earth be-
came hard and remained So So notrious was
this piece of bad road that the effect of the
oil on it became matter of much comment
ard presently the experiment was repeated
in other localities, with the same. effect
Since then Mr.. Meigs has been using the
oil on the muddy roads near his home, and
has succeeded in keeping them in such good
condition that they have attracted wide at
tention. He has found that a barrel Of
crude oil is sufficient for a strip of road one
hundred feet long and twelve feet wide. 1t
appears that the ground becomes compact
where 1t is sprinkled with the oil, and pre-
sents hard firm surface. The oil-soaked
earth sheds the water, and, of course, there
can be no mud.

ALL HANDS LOST.
FruitIess Attempt to Rescue the Crew
OF Sinking Vessel.

NEW YORK, Dec 4.-The Nova Scotian
schooner Wallada arrived to-day from Co
naives and reports that during the night of
the hurricane on Nov IS, in latitude 1922,
longitude 72:30 she sighted a dismantled
schooner of about seven hundred tons flying
signals OF distress. 1t was nearly dark and
her crew could be seen on the decks ges-
ticulating frantically for assistance The
Wallada bore down on the stranger and
got close under her lee and hailed her. They
shouted that the vessel was sinking and
asked to be taken Off Captain Kemp told
them that his boats were stove and use
less. They said they would come to the
Wallada in their own boats. During this
time the Wallada laid to- but found that
she was rapidly drifting to the leeward,
then went about on the other tack and after
several tackS managed to cross the bow of
the wreck and again drifted down to lee
ward position The WalIada hailed again
but got no answer. In the meantime an
other three-masted schooner came TO her
assistance and assumed position to the
Windward of the wreck. Both of them stood
by until daylight. When morning broke the
wreck was seen to be deserted and the
boats gone. 1t is supposed that the unfor-
tunate men had attempted to launch their
boat during the night, which capsized and
all hands were lost.

cert at the Masonic Opera House. Nov. %,
and the house was sold out at 81 a seat.
When the band arrived in the Ohio town at
noon Manager Robinson of the opera house
learned that Sousa was not with it, but
that he was sick at indianapolis Without
Sousa Robinson declared ne would not al
low the concert to take place. At 2 o'clock
the fifty members of the band presented
themselves al the door of the opera house,
finding 1t locked. Manager Robinson an
nounced from the front step that he was
ready TO refund the money TO those holding
tickets. Then Manager Christaner STEPPED
up and declared that if the manager of the
house would consent To open it he would
tender the public a concert free of charge.
He said that Sousa'S Eand had never failed
to make good its appointments; that Sousa
himself was sick and unable to appear, but
that the band would play all the same. so
the doors were thrown open ant the concert
was given, as had been planned with So
loists and all. Manager Christianer in
formed a correspondent that Sousa was suf-
fering from an attack of the grippe, which
assaulted him in Wisconsin twelve days ago.
Manager Robinson, on the other hand, de-
clared that Sousa was in Chicago hghung
the Blakely heirs lawsuit. He further stated
that he had a premonition OF what was GO
ing TO occur three days before 1t really did
happen, and that therefore, he had prepared
attachment papers against the oand. These
he decided at the last moment not to serve,
when the free concert was arranged for. 1t
Is needless to say that when word was
passed along of the free show all Chillicothe
FASTENED to the opera house to witness the
unique performance Of a full band concert

Resolutions were recently adopted by the
City Council commencing General Lee and
Mai. Russell b. Harrison upon the excel
lent order maintained by the troops during
their stay here, and yesterday City Recorder
West mailed certified copies of the same to
President Mckinley, Secretary Alger and
General Lee, provided by the resolutions,
a copy having previously been sent to Major
Harrison. In transmitting the resolutions
TO the President Recorder West said in part
The resolutions but feebly voice the senti-
ment of appreciation which inspires the peo-
pie of this city while contemplating the gen
tlemanly bearing which marked the conduct
of officers and men alike during their stay
among us and particularly of the valuable
services rendered by Maj. Russell b. Harri-
son in his capacity as provost marshal of
the Seventh Army Corps.
You will note that the Council took oc-
casion to recommend Major Harrison to
your Excellency for promotion in rank In
recognition of the intelligent faithful, pains
taking and most satisfactory manner in
which he discharged the trying duties de-
Volving upon him.
Il am sure that If your EXcellency can see
your way clear TO comply with the recon-
mendation to accord Major Harrison a pro-
motion in rank, which IL is earnestly be-
lieved he richly deserves and merits IL will
be highly appreciated by the citizens at
large and be regarded as a rare mark OF
distinction and honor conferred upon them
at your hands"

THE NATIVE DRESS.
I despair of being able to describe the ma
tive dress so vividly as to bring a picture
of it before an American reader A some
what narrow skirt of silk with a long train.
a waist of pima cloth with wide sleeves and a
collar-piece of the same material covering
the shoulders and reaching halfway down
the back, and in front the ends fastened
together with brooch just above the waist
Pima cloth is as fine as silk but quite stiff
and is of native manufacture from the fiber
of the pine palm. Its stiffness causes the
rolled collar to stand out from the neck and
the large sleeves to hang entirely free from
the arms, permitting free circulation of the
air and promoting the comfort of the wear
er. In compliment to our hosts, the lady of
our party wore one of these costumes
President Aguinaldo expressed his pleasure
at this honor paid his people by the Amer
lean lady. She not only the first Amer
lean lady in Pampanga, but the first TO wear
the national dress of the Filipinos.
There was nothing except the style of fur

The music was superb, the highly polished

He plays the host and guest with equally

spotlessly clean in person and raiment, and
a thorough gentleman. Nothing but an I'M

the ladies. AS for color they are very light,
even when there is no admixture of white
blood, especially the native of Pampansa.
The tint Is not that of the American mulat-

from the ballroom, and were soon soundly

entertainer from which we were aroused at
o'clock in the morning to take the train
for Manila.

Charles B. Hanford, the talented young
American tragedian, who appears at En-
glish's Tuesday and Wednesday in Shak-
spearean plays, was given his first encour-
agement to go on the stage by Mrs. Gen.
John A. Logan 1T happened in this way
said Mr. Hanford, in a recent interview:
Elm 1879, at the graduating exercises of the
High School, Washington, d. c.. had given
recitation, which seemed to,have met with
favor. At the close of the exercises 1 was
introduced to Mrs. Logan by Professor Paul.
In her good, motherly way, she asked me if
my mother were living. / told her she was
dead. She continued by saying that she
had asked me because she did not want to
give advice without first knowing whether
II would meet with my mothers approval
She then questioned me as TO whether had
ever thought of going on the stage. and said:
If you were my son 1 would certainly de-
sire to have you enter the dramatic profess
sion. If you will take my advice, | would
suggest that you go or the stage and If you
do | am sure that you will become a prom
inent and brilliant actor
Mrs. Logan's manner was so kind and
so full of sympathy that it made a lasting
impression on my mind IL gave me also
that genuine announcement which does
young men so much good, and resolved to
cheering words than those given me by Mrs
Logan, and what | am i'm the dramatic pro-
lcSSlOu may say owe IL all to her. |

0DETTE TYLER'S RE-ENTRY.
She and Her Husband Here to Join
Charles b. HRnfOrd.

r. d. Mclean and his wife, Odette Tyler,
arrived at the Bates yesterday. They are
here to rehearse Shakspearean drama with
Charles B. Hanford, who opens at English's
Opera House tomorrow night for limited
engagement. After leaving indianapolis the
Hanford company is to be reorganized as a
tristan combination, to be known as the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. company. The COM
bination is to open at McCauley's Theater,
at Louisville, Thursday night, in Julius
Caesar" AS this will be Miss T'ylers debut
I'm tragedy, something more than ordinary
interest attaches to the performance. For
years Odette Tyler has been recognized as
one of the leading actresses of the country.
Her latest success in this line of roles was
in Secret Service" When she was married
to r. d. Mclean, or r. d. Shepard, two
years ago. 1t was announced that her stage
career was at an end. Her husband who,
until five years ago. was an actor growing
in popularity was himself a sterling actor
of Shakspearean parts. He was the hus-
band of Marie Prescott. After tho death OF
his gifted wife he retired to his estate at
Shepardstown, w. Va, where he has lived
I'm retirement until the last few months.
His wife, Odette Tyler, is a woman who has
been prominently in the public eye TOR a long
time. AT one time she was engaged to be
married to Howard Gould, but the engage
ment was broken off on account of the OBJ
Jections of Goulds relatives The re-entry
of the husband and wife into the theatrical
profession is marked by more than ordinary
interest, on account of the fact that Mrs.
Mclean has never essayed tragic roles be-
fore. Beside the opening role of Portia in
Julius Caesar" at Louisville, Miss Tyler
will play Juliet IN Romeo and Juliet"
Ophelia in Hamlet" Desdemona in
."othello' and Portia in Merchant of
Venice"
After the regular season in the theaters
OF the East, 1t is the intention of the tristan
combination to give q revival of "Corio-
Janus in New York next spring. This is
tragedy that has been seldom attempted
since the days of Edwin Forrest. Miss Ty-
lers real name was Elizabeth Lee kirkland.
She was the daughter of General Kirkland,
and General Hardee the author of "Har-
dees Tactics" was her uncle.
