A NEW USE
For Spirits-NilI Enter Into Alanu-
facturc ofSmokc,ess Powder.

LOUISVILLE. Ky, April: l9.-The
Courier Journal To-day says:
THE American Spirits Manufacture
ing company which. with three other
liquor trusts. Is to be consolidated with
the Kentucky Distileries ard Ware
Company. has 4 new source OF revenue
which will probably mean millions OF
dollars to the combined whlskey Inter-
ests. Spirits form the prime factor In
the manufacture Of sInokelcSs powder
The government has negotiated with the
company for vast quantities of, this
product to use in the making OF this
smokeless powder. 49, ~
During the Spanish American war
the Spaniards had n great advantage
over the Americans on account OF the
fact that they used the sTolielcss pow
der exclusively. Since the war the
United States government has taken
up the manufacture of the smokeless
powder and u good supply is now being
made under the direction of the war
department. - -.
Samuel Rice. president OF the spirits
trust. and also head OF the Kentucky
Bourbon Trust, took the matter up
with officials at Washington. The re-
suit Of Mr.. Ricc's effort was that big
contract'was let by the government for
spirits. The first consignment Of spir-
It's wns sent east short time ago. and
amounted to between 100000 and 100000
gallons. The greater part of the out
put of the company's plants will be
used by the government for some time.

A GREAT SCENE.

The new Broken scene in Faust"
as it is presented this season by Lewis
Morrison, is pronounced the most weird
ly beautiful ever produced, and not
alone displays masterpiece OF the
stage mechanics art, but Is q revela-
ton In the art Of electrical effects.
Never has there been such display OF
intricate and amazing surprises In cleo
trical force as is demonstrated In this
scene Owls boot and flap their wings,
vampire bats fit by In hideous silence,
huge green Shiny snakes crawl through
space. monster dragons appear emitting
fire from their dilated nostrils, myriads
or scintillating fire flies illuminate the
chasm, rs satyrs sit In stocal silence,
while sirens sing seductive dltt!es and
COLLINS gyrate In demonical revelry.
"Mephisto' in satanic majesty Views
with ghoulish glee this labyrinth OF
weirdness and from the summit of the
Broken hurls tllunderbolts at the poor
mortals who have been banished to
everlasting tortures. The scene ends
with the most novel and imposing Pr

No member OF the association will be

are that non-union labor has been en-
ployed In the erection Of the sangerfcst

ADJUSTMENTS.

Just as the costume play IS about to
grow tiresome, a compromise has been
found that will undoubtedly suggest to
other playwrights an opportunity for
picturesque effects. The late 4O's and
early COS have not been represented
on the stage In some time, and In Sol
Smith Russell's new play. 'rThe Hon.
John Grlgsby." the effects are most
quaint and pleasing. Charles Klein, the
author, has written what one critic de-
clares to be IAN idyl" The simplicity
Of the language and the del!cacy and
lishtness OF the humor add to the poet
ic quality of the play; but aside from
this II Is probably the strongest play
that Sol Smith Russell has ever been
seen in. II
Grigsby Is an Illinois lawyer, q Wild
over and a man of phIlanthroplc dispo-
sitlon. giving most OF his time to the
cases of the poor without remittance.
The sheriff comes down on him and is
about to seize all his furniture. when n
wealthy old widow obtains for him, by
promises OF financial assistance to the
party, che nomination to the supreme
court bench. Grigsby accepts the hon
or, thinking 1t came to him as reward
for his long and honest career, and 1t Is
not until he refuses to aid the political
leaders In an attempt ito make Illinois
slave state" that he finds out the real
reason for his nomination. The widow
IN her endeavor to aid him, had placed
him In position which he regards as
dissraceful, and he sees no way to sat.
lsry MS conscience except to resign,
and this he Is opposed to because of his
strong desire to uphold the honor Of the
state. The love interest In the play
centers In Grlgsby and his fair client, a
young woman who Is prosecuted by the
same people that are threatening him
with public shame. The play Is beauti-
full y written. and 1t Is everywhere said
TO be the strongest that Charles Klein
has ever done. and fits Mr.. Russelrs
personality and quaint comedy acting
like glove. 1t will be presented ut the
Opera House next Wednesday, April &c.
THE LATE Mr.. EARLY"
Miss Belle Black, the leading lady
OF The Late Mr.. Early" company.
which is to play an engagement at the
Grand Opera House for half week,
commencing tonight, Is one OF
those fortunate artistes whose lines
have always been cast In pleasant
places. Almost Immediately after her
DEBUT on the stage Miss Black was
chosen to create the leading role In
Hoyt's "a Black Sheep" a production
In which her personal success was so
marked that Immediately after the
long metropolitan run of the play she
found herself In great demand for New
York productions. To this line of work
she has devoted her talents almost ex-
cluslvely and has created many famous
roles. 1t is said that only through the
fact that THE Late Mr.. Early" Is to
play but very few one-nlght stands this
season that Miss Black was prevailed
upon to Join the organization. Great
personal beauty and charm OF manner
are said 10 be not the smallest OF her
many gifts.
