IT Is found hard to float the new
cattle trust. Let it sink. The deep
or the better.-Texas Sun.
The ca4tIe business seems to be
thriving without the organization
Of trust, which would doubtless
operate to'reduce the profits of the
original owners or producers Of the
cattle putting the amount deducted
from their profits into the till Of
the trust. Consumers would also
have to pay higher for beef pro-
ducts, to add their pro rata to the
trust profits, and goodness knows
prices are already too high for the
poor man. We agree with the Sun
in wishing failure to the trust
scheme.

WHOLESOME COMEDY.
William II. Crane Presents Plays
That Do Not Offend.

There is one class of plays which the
public always expects from William ii.
Crane and which 1t always receives. This
is clean and wholesome comedy. which
never offends good taste, good manners or
good morals. Mr.. Crane never goes
abroad for his plays: the home market Is
good enough for him and the pub ic seems
to approve OF his judgment The comedian
possibly spends more money each season
In securing good plays than any other
actor before the public. He finds that it
pays to give the public just what 1t
wants. and that the better shape In
which II Is presented the more will IL
be appreciated In engaging his company
and getting up his productions he wo ks
on the plan that the best is none too
good. and hence 4 follows that all of his
plays are well staged and artistica,ly
acted. In addition TO his worth as an ac-
tor. Mr.. Crane possesses a fund of what
Is known as personal maggie ism, and he
Is liked immensely for himself as well
as for his ability.
The coined ans repertoire this season
has been enriched by the addition Of two
very clever plays--"A Virginia Cour ship"
and 1.-The Head OF the Family''-and they
have won much commend alton wherever
they have been given. Mr. Crane Is due
TO appear at the Academy OF Musi' the
latter half OF the week where he will he
seen In both Of his pays.

SPLENDID RECORD OF EUGENE II.
Great Interest Felt Here in the Eng
Iish Setter.

Eugene r., the well-known English set
ter is the object of much local interest,
for the reason that a number OF Rich
monders are the possessors Of dogs of
which he is the sire.
Eugene T. is owned by the Rancocas
Kennel, Stanton Depot Tenn. Mr.. p.
Lorellard. Jr., Of New York. is the pro-
prietor OF this famous kennel of English
settlers. and Mr.. Charles Tucker, the vete-
ran breeder and trainer. who has many
friends in Richmond. is the manager and
superintendent.
Eugene II. Is by Count Noble, who n
his day as sire was regarded as with
out a peer and his dam is Ruby's Girl,
and she Is by the uncrowned king of Eng
l.sh settlers. Gadstone-a cross in breed
Ing that has produced the grandest dogs
OF this or any other age.
In harding Eugene 7. is black, white
and tan. and is built on lines of speed and
endurance; he is level-headed, and has
plenty OF bird sense. He is a litter bro
ther TO Champion Count Gladstone "
AS is well known to sportsmen. Count
has q splendid record as a feld-trIal win
ner; he is the sire of more field-trial win
ners than any dog living. and when quite
young was sold for $50.
Eugene T. has an excellent feld-trial
record. having won in three al-age
stakes. and Is the sire OF the field-trial
winners-Why Not, Count Chester. and
Roland. Count Gloster was sold by M
Lorillard 10 kennel i'm California for
sl.co0, but died with distemper before he
was delivered to the purchaser Roland
proved to be one Of the most brilliant per-
formers that was run in The continental
trials last season. beating the famous Joe
run IN fleld-trials. Two of Eugenes pups
won in the California field-trials in 1897.
Mr.. w. III. Colquit, of this city, owns
beautiful brace of pups by Eugene r.. and
they will be run IN the Derby stakes in
the fed-trials this coming season, and
their work gives promise OF success. Mr..
L. +. Taylor. who established the first
kennel of fnely-bred English settlers in
Richmond, has a son Of Eugene T. that
Is conceded to be one OF the handsomest
dogs In Virginia, and he regards him as
among the most promising Of the many
good ones that he has owned.
The Eugene T. pup owned by Mr. G.. u.
Wingfield is beautiful and evenly-m rk-
ed black, white and tan, and is bull; on
lines for good work. and he has been
much admired. His education will soon
be commenced by a competent trainer.
Mr.. Samuel G. Atkins, whose splendid
kennel has for years been one of the
chief objects of his pleasure and pride,
has a litter of youngsters by Eugene tt.
and II the future does not develop that
there are some high-class ones among
them II will not be due to lack of gilt
edge breeding, and opportunities which
will be afforded by their owner Among
the other citizens of Richmond who are
the owners OF valuable youngsters by
Eugene Il. are Messrs John Blair j.
Clements Shafer, Bates Tyree, and
Thomas f. Jeffress, and the work during
the coming hunting season will no doubt
prove that there are in this splendid lot
of dogs some as good ones as were ever
shot over in Virginia.

VERY ELABORATE ENVIRONMENT.
Preparations for the elaborate environ
ment Of the play are ell complete, and
there will be a dress rehearsal at the
Academy tonight An effort has been put
forth to make this production the most
elaborate ever placed upon the boards of
a Richmond theatre by amateurs. The
costumes. which have all been made on
purpose for the play, are very pictures
que, and some very beautiful effects Will
be introduced 10 enhance the scenic en-
vironment. The attendants upon Duke
of Theseus" have been drawn from the
ranks Of the debutantes with a special
view to their personal charms and social
prominence, and the stage pictures will
be gorgeous and attractive to a very emil
nent degree.
The cast numbers nearly one hundred
and twenty persons. and each member of
IL has been thoroughly and carefully
trained by Miss Nancy Brooks. who has
spent the last four months in bringing
them to very high state of perfection.
Those who have seen the rehearsals be-
lieve that the efficiency Of the cast and
the talent that certain individual members
display will be an absolute revelation
to the Richmond public. There viii he no
stilted awkwardness. and little, II any,
Of that amateurishness which goes to
stamp so many undertakings of the I'M
initiated.
