The greatest array of talent ever
gathered together in a faree-comedy
production, elaborate scenic investi-
ture, gorgeous costumes, and all the
latest popular music of the day which
has been cleverly arranged by Max
Hoffman, combined with the further
fact that the press of cities in which
"The Late Mr.. Early" the new farce
by James NJ. Martin, has been seen,
have unanimously endorsed it as one
of the best vehicles for the display of
comedy talent seen for long time, are
salient features which have made this
production the most pronounced farce
comedy success of the present season.
Manager Feinler has arranged for the
appearance of this organization at the
Grand Opera House for the half week,
commencing tonight, and as the COM
pany is to be seen in but very few one
night stands this season, its time hav-
ing been almost entirely booked in the
largest cities of the country, it is plain
ly evident that our theatre-goers have
great treat in store.

AN ARREST

Charles Holderman, of Upper BenwOod
Taken Into Custody Yesterday
Yesterday morning shortly before
noon Charles Holderman, a member Of
the firm of Holdermann Bros, the gro
GERS, of Upper Benwood, was arrested
at his place of business by one of the
deputy United States marshals on the
charge of opposing, obstructing and re-
sisting an officer of the United States
in the execution of his duties in the
United States. The charge was enter
ed under section 1898, of the statutes.
The commitment was made out by reg
ular Deputy United States Marshal
Randolph.
Mr.. Holderman was brought to this
city and placed in Jail and will be given
hearing at two o'clock this afternoon.
The prisoner is a brother of Oscar
Holdermann, who was arrested last
Friday by one of the deputies on the
charge of violating the law.
1t will be remembered that Charles
Holderman on Friday last stopped his
horse, as it was being driven through
Upper Benwood, in front of car in
charge of a deputy. The friends of the
prisoner say that Holderman thought
the horse was running off when he
stopped him. The prisoner is a mem
Der of the Benwood City Council. He
furnished bond for his appearance.

SUBSTANTIAL SYMPATHY.

SUBSTANTIAL SYMPAIH4.
At Martins Ferry, yesterday after
noon, Representatives of the various
organized labor organizations of the
place met in the city hall, where they
took very commendable action in re-
gard to. the street car trouble Vice
President Charles James, of the A. A.
of l. & S. W.. was chairman of the
meeting, which had been called for the
purpose of getting the organized labor
of the town to express their views in
regard to the running of the cars. Sew
eral people spoke on the subject, all of
whom were of the opinion that rep
etition of such conduct as displayed
last Sunday when cars were run to
that place would serve to a greater
extent to injure than to aid the strik-
ing men, for whom they entertain the
deepest sympathy in their present
trouble.
Before the meeting was closed resolu-
lions were adopted, endorsing the
cause for which the employees of the
Wheeling street railway has struck;
asking the citizens of the town to re-
frain from interfering or molesting the
cars of the company, also the men now
in their employ, and as far as possible
to prevent their children from doing
the same; to notify the Wheeling Street
Railway Company of the action taken
by the meeting, and asking them to
remove the distractions now on their
track and run cars to ascertain whether
or not they can be safely run in the
city; that if it becomes necessary
to employ deputies for the purpose of
doing so. the organized labor repre-
scented would not condemn the action
nor would they as body or as individ-
uals make any effort to keep any per-
son from serving in that capacity: all

Ham-smelling as a Business.

One of the curious businesses that
men engage in Is ham smelling in pack
ing-houses. 1t Is business allied with
that of tea-tasting, wine testing, and
the like. The ham smeller is techni-
cally known as a Manchester. 1t is
his business to inspect meat products
and judge of their soundness. This
is done before the meats leave the
house or when they are brought from
other concerns to fill a shortage
The ham-smeller's only tools are a
long steel trier and his nose, says the
Kansas City Star. 1t is often neces-
sary to test hams after they come
out of the sweet pickle and before they
go into the smokehouse The ham,
smeller stands in barrel to keep his
clothes from being soiled by the drip
ping brine, and the hams are brought
to him by workmen A ham Is laid
before him, and he plunges his sharp
pointed trier into it, withdraws it and
passes 1t swiftly beneath his nose. The
trier always goes down to the knuckle
joint. In testing meat in that manner
the man with the trier judges by the
slightest shade of difference between
the smell of one piece of meat and an
utHtT. lie suell Vi the meat Is al
most universally sweet and that is
what he smells; the slightest faint or
deviation from the sweet smell Is
therefore appreciable. 1t Is not the
degree of taintedness that he expects
70 find, but the slightest odor that is
not sweet. When he detects an odor
he throws the meat aside, and if it
is not unwholesome it is sold as ire
jected" meat. but if it is tainted 1t goes
to the rendering tank. The Manchester
smells meat from o'clock in the
morning until o'clock at night, and
his sense must never become jaded or
inexact, or his usefulness would be at
an end.
Ham testing is not pursuit danger
Gus to the health as tea-tasting is
supposed to be. but the ham-smeller
with cold in his head is like a piano
player who loses his arm in railroad
wreck.

The British Cook and Rice Pudding

The British cook, writes w. l.. Al
den in Pearson's, who is told to make
a rice pudding will take some flour, a
few eggs and as much milk as she can
spare from the mistress's tea, and all
the rice that is left in the rice jar. She
enixes these ingredients, and after put
ting the composition in the oven won
ders what it will turn out to be. Some-
times the result is plum cake. At
another time it is suet pudding, and
at another q beefsteak pie. Statistics
prove that it becomes a rice pudding
only once in four hundred and seven
teen times.
There is all the charm of lottery,
or of gold mining, in British cookery.
Ii is SO purely a matter of chance that
it is probable that rigid application OF
the gambling laws would land every
British cook in jail. The cook stakes
her -four and butter and eggs. in the
hope that they will emerge from the
oven in some desirable form. If she
wins, her employer regards her as an
admirable cook. If she loses ana
the oven returns to her dish which
is absolutely UNBEATABLE, her employer
wonders why she can never learn to
cook So long as the British cook pre-
fers chance to science, and thinks that
1t is siugpler to take '.some" of various
ingredients instead of taking a definite
and unalterable number of grams or
each, so long will British cookery re-
main among the mysteries OF life.

"The beautiful and delicate shades
on the eggs of birds are not very fast,
especially If they belong to the lighter
class of colors," remarked an ornithol-
ogist to the Washington Star. "In
many instances some of the finest and
most characteristic tints of eggs dis
appear almost entirely on exposure to
light. A common example is the beau
tiful pale blue Of the starling's egg,
which, on exposure to sunlight for a
few days, loses it's clear blueness Of
tone and becomes purpler, approach
ing more to a slate tint. Such also is
the case with most of the greenish
blue eggs. like those of many sea BIRDS
the common guillemets, for instance
the beauty of which largely depends on
the clear freshness of its blue tints. 1t
is, therefore, wise for egg collectors to
keep the glass cases containing all such
specimens carefully covered up when
not being inspected. otherwise much of
the beauty of tint will be lost in course
of time"

Men Who Constansly Give the Sur

The old proverb while there's life

force from these brief sketches OF men
who triumphantly survived almost
every form of accident:
A few months ago died Thomas
Rushton, of Walkden, Lancashire, Eng

pitfalls consequent on his many mishaps.
When five years old he fractured both
thighs, and before he had fairly recov-
cred he fell down stairs and sustained
a double fracture. Thenceforward his
life was one long series of misfortunes,
for besides breaking both legs twenty
four times, he sustained many other in
jurles and underwent countless opera
tions.

tured his limbs six times, and on each
occasion the accident occurred on the

FARMERS BOYS AT COLLEGE
Two-fiftbs Of the Students Are from
the Agricultural Glasses.

Some interesting figures as to the
proportion of farmers boys among COL
Iege students have been gathered by
the American Agricultural. 1t has re-
turns from IT'S universities and col
leges, reporting an attendance OF ST.
900 students, out Of a total of 81 600 in
ali the higher educational institutions
of the country. In its analysis of the
figures the Agriculturist reduces the
number of students considered to a lit
tie under 81, 900, for some unexplained
reason excluding it says, a few city
colleges, like Harvard. Pratt Institute,
University of Rochester, Fisk Univers-
ity, and Others Out OF this total OF
about 81, 1000 it finds that nearly q, 600
are from the agricultural classes, or a
percentage of 40.02 from the farm. This
percentage varies largely in different
sections of the country. 1t is 500 in
the South 45.8 in the far West, 40.1
in the central West, 29.4 in the middle
States, and 29.1 in New England. In
no other nation win any such condition
be found, /" comments the Agriculturist.
1T is a wonderful tribute to the gener-
al intelligence of our American farm
ers' families. and to the high hopes
and deep aspirations of their sons and
daughters This exhibit adds nightly
to the dignity OF agriculture, at least
in the eyes of the masses in other v0-

REDEEMED BY WAR

Warwick stood on the river bank
silently contemplating the swift-run-
ming waters below and wondering If he
had the nerve TO make the leap.
Life had lost all Its charms for him.
He could see nothing ahead B1t cold,
cherries promise, and he thanked a
woman for tia sweet, tender, blue
eyed little woman whom he had often
in his day dreams pictured as his wife.
1t had never entered his head that
she might refuse him. Blind to his
own imperfections, he did not imagine
that others might see them, so when to
his earnest pleading she had replied,
mo, Dick, ii is quite impossible" it
left him incapable Of speech.
He could not understand why she
would not accept him, faults, dissipa-
ton and all, so unreasoning and selfish
is man when his affections are in
solved
Yet when the cool breeze from the
valley famed his cheek it brought
some reason back. 1t sobered him. 1t
reawakened his conscience, and dim
ly he became conscious of his moral de-
linquencies. Then he remembered why.
Yes, she was right. For an instant he
admitted it, then his selfishness reas-
serted itself and he blamed her for the
encouragement she had given him
that hollow refuge sought by every
lover when refused for cause.

deepened into a mighty cyclone Of

bearded and bronzed, their uniforms
ragged, and faces faded and worn,

Montag has, | learn, three times the
beating power of the best Silesian or

fuel is. OF course, a secret, but peat
moss and special kind of clay play
an important part. Ii contains also
some mineral substances.
A renewed examination OF the soil
at Hockenheim, near Mannheim, shows
that most Of these substances are con-

Wears Moman,s Clothes.

For II years Henry Smell, of Omaha,
has worn womans clothes, and to a
reporter claimed that it had acted as
a cure for the severe case of Brights
disease from which he suffered. While
around home he dresses himself up in
a mother hubbard, and when occasion
calls. which is seldom because of his
secluded habits, he dons neglige
mans attire for trip downtown. He
claims that he does not suffer from
Brights disease while in the loose
garb. and sees no reason why he should
not place health above most things in
life. Smell is a man about so years OF
age and has keen gray eyes and a
flowing gray beard.
