T1UsIc AND DRArIA
A STRONG PLAY.

Darkest Russia" a stirring plav was
presented for the first time I'm Wichita
yesterday as a Christmas matinee at the
Crawford Grand The matinee was well
patronized and the evening performance
was presented to a crowded house. The
audience was one of ti-s most enthusiast
tic that has been in the house this season
and seemed much delighted The play
was presented by strong and evenly
balanced company, and the stage settings
were very pretty indeed and greatly add
ed to the good effect. The scene of the
play. as the title indicates. is laid in
Russia, and the first act rests upon a
very beautiful setting representing the
palace of Count Maximoff, where a re-
ception IS in progress. The characters
or the play. with a few exceptions are
here introduced and the climax of the
act is reached when Ida Barosky, a
young viotniste. refused to play God
Save the Car" The second act shows
a rendezvous of the Nihilists and presents
exciting and stirring scenes. However.
the third act is very strong, and the cul-
mination OF this act is where Alexis Ma
zinoff, the young Russian officer, the hero
of the play. by reason of supposed COM
plicity in Nihilistlc plots. is sentenced to
Siberia, his sentence being urged by the
wife Of the minister of police OWING 70 her

NEW IMPLEMENT OF WARFARE.

Invention by q Pole Which Renders
Destructive Weapons Useless.
The greatest benefactor of modern
times may be found in a poor Polish
chemist named Simon Pavlowski, of
Warsaw. This obscure chemist has in
vented q new gas, which, If used in the
battles of the future, will put an end
to the horrible mutitations and terrible
deaths on the battle field, says the New
York World.
The battles of the future will be the
harmless bursting of Pavlowsk shells,
filled with gas which, as soon as fired
from it's gelatine cage, will permeate the
atmosphere breathed by the enemy and
lull them into 15-hours' sleep, from
which they will not awaken until their
standards have been seized by the op-
posing army and their sleeping bodies
removed toa place of safety.
The gas invented by Pavlowski is an
anasthetic which is forced into a shell
made of geletine. When the latter
bursts in the ranks of the enemy this
gas escapes, rendering every soldier in
the immediate vicinity soothingly un-
conscious for long time, but with ne
other injury than to incapacitate him
for the time from working against the
opposing army. 50

LINEN MAKERS

Ireland and Holland Have the Most
Women Engaged In This work.
Though Ireland to-day holds the first
place, so far as America is concerned, in
regard to linens, Holland occupied that
position everywhere in the past, and
holds it to-day in many parts OF Europe,
says the Philadelphia Press. The very
word Holland is employed to designate
a fine linen cloth or a linen and cotton
cloth, and has been used for this purpose
from time immemorial. It is both
glazed and unglazed, and used for wear
ing the household decoration. Flax
grows well III that part of Europe, and
the sunlight is said to be brighter and
to have more power in bleaching in the
low countries than elsewhere. The
linen industry is carried on in Holland
more by women than by men. In the
fields there are almost as many female
as male cultivators. In the harvesting
there is an excess of women.
In the many processes, such as lining,
heckling and spinning, the women out
numbered the men three to one. In the
mills the women are in the majority.
The men predominant when it comes
to the making of damasks and fancy
designs. For at least four centuries.it
has been an honored custom in the
Netherlands for young women to begin
making their marriage portion in linen
when mere girls. Some go so far as to
start with the sowing of the seed; Others
begin with the spinning. whilethose bet,
ter off bury the finished cloth. All do the
cutting and sewing. A wedding outfit
consists of petticoats, nightgowns and
other underwear, several suits for sum-
mer wear, sheets, pillow cases, bolster
cases, pillow shams, shirts for the hus-
band-to-be and number of rolls of the
uncut material for the future emer>
gency or use. Nearly every girl of mar
riageable age has a stock of these goods
ranging from trunkful to three or four
times that ampllHlf

As you see, the toys are of iron, and are
passed along with the request that each
time they are used they shall be put into
