School Entertainment.

The annual entertainments given the
last two years at the Bijou opera house
by the Immaculate Conception school
received much attention and drew very
large audiences.
The programs were of such excellent
merit that even critics advised that they
be run through an entire week of the
regular opera season. Very few of the
professional troupes achieved better sue
cess, or delighted their audiences more.
The school will reappear at the Bijou
next Tuesday evening, June 20. The
date on the tickets which have been
distributed, June 81, is incorrect. The
curtain will rise at 8 o'clock sharp. This
years program will be, both in concep-
ton and execution, an Improvement on
that of previous years. Seats may be
had at the Bijou box office next Monday
and Tuesday. Program:

| would like to see few good regi-
mcnts OF Rough Riders go to the Phil
ippines, together with enough regular
army men to be OF use over there. Then
let some great commander like General
Miles manipulate them, and hostiitics
would soon cease in those islands. The
trouble in the Philippines is that we
have not got enough soldiers there. The
way it is now the struggle is likely to
be kept up indefinitely. More fighters
like the Utah battery, which has been
doing such excellent work over there,
would be the right thing. More officers
like the grandson OF Brigham Young,
who leads that battery, would be better
thing. On account OF his long years
OF experience in roughing it in the West
he is teaching the older tacticians OF the
army many valuable lessons in artillery
movements. He is type of the real
Rough Rider.
Properly speaking, Colonel Roosc
vclt's regiment was not the first rcgi-
mcnt OF Rough Riders. The first idea
OF that kind was conceived and carried
out as far back as the later sixties. Cen

A common-sense scheme for re,
populating the brooks in Vermont
with trout has behind it the authority
OF the state, and is working we'll.
This is to close permanently the
breeding brooks, which can be done
with any brook by the state officials
upon agreement with the land owners.
Trout in these brooks do not attain
much size, but the large trout run ip
to them to spawn. Protecting the
young fish in these brooks, SO far as
tried. has resulted in restocking the
rivers to which the brooks are tribu-
tary with fish of q size for the table.
SoHs brooks flowing into White river
have ben closed, and in the adjacent
parts of ne river very good trout
fishing is the result. The news.

brought forward two proposals. One
Of these is for q canal IL feet deep ex-
tending from Lake Erie to the Hudson

The true reason for the rise in the
price of beef, according to the National
Provisioner, is the gradual rise in the
price Of live stock. The increase in
the value of the herd has been brought
about by the general shortage for
slaughter purposes, and the increased
cost of producing hand (stall-fed)
beef, because of the shortage Of feed
and the increased cost Of getting it.

STRONGER THAN DYNAMITE
A Shell Powerful Enough to Sink a
Warshir.

New York, Aug. 24.-At the Sandy
Hook proving grounds today an expert
ment was made with a dynamite shell
which tended to prove that if it had
struck a battleship the latter would have
been sunk. The experiment was one of
those conducted by the board. of ordnance
and Notifications and took place in the
presence of members of the board, Major
Heath, who is in charge of the defenses
at Sandy Hook, and Willard Isham, the
inventor of the projectile- The shell made
carrying a bursting charge of 1885, pounds
of explosive gelatine was fired from an
ordinary 12-inch rife, mounted inn
proViSed carriage behind a shield. The
charge used for firing it was composed of
common brown prismatic powder.
About 200 feet in front of the gun a
piece of harveyized steel twelve inches
thick and specially treated, was placed
at an angle of 45 degrees to the line of
oak and behind the oak was a small
mountain of sand, the whole calculated to
be stronger than a battleShipiS side. The
SheH struck and exploded with terrific
report. The steel target was blown clear
up the oak backing and lay to one side
and to right angle of the line the shot
had followed.
Part of the oak backing behind it was
blown away Only about four pounds of
Mem bers of the board expressed salts
faction with the experiment. The most de-
structive explosive known was used in
the shell. 1t was composed of IS per cent
of nitroglycerine, per cent of gun cot
ton as an absorbent and four per cent of
camphOr- 1t is estimated to be % per cent
more powerful than number one dynamite.
