the flash light, though, was abominable
and the ashes that subsequently settled
on those near by was anything but
pleasant.
Alex Craven, Ned Dodge, Alfred Tim
norman and Val Ringle carried trays
of water to all parts of the theatre.
At the close of each act, many of the
ladies and gentlemen, visited in the
foyer and looked over the house.
The acoustic properties of the theatre
are very fine. No trouble to hear ordi-
nary conversation in any part of the
building.
The handsome bouquet of American
beauties that were sent up to ia Bar

of the Opera House, and were gotten at

Carriages were called by number at

this respect.
HISTORICAL
Since the burning of Wausau's beauti-
fui opera house, in January, 1892, our
people have longed for another play
house just as good, aud better if pos
sible. Certain of our citizens made
hurculean efforts to raise money imme-
diately after the fire to rebuild the one
which was burned The amount was
raised with the exception of very little,
when she prime mover in the enter
prise was taken sick and the whole
thing was allowed to drop. All sorts
of ways have been thought of to give
us new theater, but it was not until
the latter part of 1898 that serious
move of any kind was made 1t was
through our enterprising citizen, ID. l..
Plumer, that MessrS. Johnston and
Fischer became interested ia Wausau.
They were building an opera house in

more than to any other man, Wausau
is indebted for her fine building Mr..
Hurley tried to call out Mr.. Johnston
but this he was unable to do, SO he
made the presentation speech, saying
that the gift was from a large number
of the citizens of Wausau, who had
learned to honor and respect him dur
ing his short stay among us and for his
untiring efforts in giving Wausau such
magnificent theater While Mr..
Johnston is one of the most modest and
unassuming men to be found in week S
travel, and who shuns anything like
notoriety, we know that there is no one
who can more deeply appreciate such a
kindly act as that performed by our
citizens last night in his honor.
Give s. Cones orchestra furnished
the music and the selections were in
keeping with the occasion. After the
address and presentation by Mr.. Im
ley, the orchester rendered Grand
American Fantasia in manner which
charmed the audience and when the
last strains had died away, the curtain
arose upon
FREDERICK THE GREAT.
A most beautiful stage setting was
presented of corridor in the Kings
palace, at Berlin, and here the princi
pal characters in the play met in the
first act
As the program stated THE events
of the play-selected to show Freder-
ick's many.sided character-in reality,
covered period of more than twenty
years, but have been joined within the
comedy so as to appear consecutive, as
if occurring during the years l75l-54."
All eyes were centered upon Lewis
Morrison. 1t was the actors first APP
pearance in Wausau, and but few knew
of his ability. While he had gained a
national reputation in the role of Me-
plissopheles in Goethe's Faust, which
placed him in the van of great
actors. many thought this E4is,ht be
another Morrison; At first there was
deep curiosity. then pleasure, then
wild enthusiasm for the man represent
ing Frederick the Great. While Mr..
Morrison is quite well along in years
he does not lack the fire nor the ardor of
youth in his mastery work. As a
whole, our people were very pleasantly
disappointed in Lewis Morrison. He
received many calls before the curtain,
and The applause with which he was
greeted on every turn was evidence
sufficient that, in Wausau, he had
scored a most pronounced success.
Mr. Morrison was very ably assisted
by Charles j. Arper, rs General Hull
SEM George Foster Plat. as 'sLienten-
ant Hulsen;" Frank B. Tanning, as

The doors were opened early and
the people commenced to arrive at
7:l5. Hundreds of spectators lined the
street from Jefferson to Scott taking up
all the room from the court house
square to the middle of the street and
it required several policemen to make
room for the carriages. Mr.. Johnston
was stationed in the lobby during the
rush and by his clever manipulating,
unpleasant experiences were avoided.
Mr.. Johnston and his right hand man,
MIR. Arthurs, were here, there and
everywhere during the whole perform
ance and to them is due the extremely
pleasant and orderly manner in which
the house was seated, which is no easy
task when there is such large crowd
to handle. The above gentlemen were

stage settings and scenic effects were
the handsomest ever seen in our city,
at least nothing has surpassed it. The
first act showed Il corridorin the Kings

which were hills and plains; fourth the
illuminated fete. In the foreground was
foliage through which peeped various
colored lights and in the distance was

well imagine themselves, for the time,

The play is of neutrality-suspicious.
comedy order. 1t is of the time of 1850,
when wars were rife and it abounds
with soldiers in gala dress The promi-
nent characters are made TO furnish
amusement for the King, who managed
to dig all kinds of pit falls for them,
and especially is Volaire placed in a
position of contempt and robbed CT his
dignity. There are many comicai stu
ations which kept the audience III good
humor-but there is nothing of tragical
nature. Ofcourse there is love-making;
this was carried on more especially by
young Baron Won Trenck and the
Princess. A very pretty piece of de-
eeption, which charmed everybody was
practiced by the Princess at the fete,
which gained for her the consent of the
King to be welded to her lover.
Though it was twelve O'Clock when the
curtain went down on the last act, still
the audience would have willingly re-
NAMED several hours longer.

cHERRY WORN. FI,Y AND WING.

CHERRY WORM, I AND WING.
Out somewhat smaller) the house fly.
We think that the adult form of it is
the fly shown, natural size and en-
larged, in the cut. The body is black.
Its head and legs are light yellowish
brown. The wings Zone is shown en-
larged) are crossed by four blackish
bands and have a blackish spot at
their tip. The maggot is of q light gel
lowish white color.
Unfortunately this cherry maggot
works in a very inconspicuous man
ner. All Of those who suffered from
Its ravages the past summer did not
know of its presence until their atten
ton was called to it by the consum-
lers of the cherries. The two cherries
in the upper part of the second cut
contained maggots, although they were
apparently perfect fruits externally. II
the cherries are allowed to remain on
the tree or are not used within a few
days after picking, the work Of the
maggot will result in a rotting and
sinking in Of a portion of the fruit, as
is shown by three cherries in the lower
part Of the cut. When this stage is
reached or often even before the fruit
shows signs of rotting, the maggots
are usually full grown and soon crawl
out of the fruits.
One grower at Geneva, N. Y, reports
that he fears the same insect worked
in his prunes last year. Ten years ago
maggets were found working in both
cherries and plums In northern Michi-
gan. These yer thoughtto have been
the apple maggot, but we believe they
were identical with those which have
worked in the cherries of New, York
and Massachusetts this year. Thus
cherry growers in the eastern, middle
and northern states should be on the
lookout for the pest
There seems to be nc practicable
method of getting at the pest while it
is in the fruit, except the heroic meth
cd of picking and destroying by boil
ing, burying or otherwise the whole
crop on the infested trees just about
the time the first fruits are ready to
pick or even before. This method, Of
course, involves the loss Of the cherry
crop of a season, but 1t is the only
sure method we can conceive Of to
completely check the pest. The pest
could be quickly stamped out In this
way, as it spreads very slowly. 's.&
If what few ''windfalls'' there might
be e destroyed, all the marketable
fruit picked and disposed Of and all
