OF which are classed i'm the profession

would be seen only at the most favora-
BILE times will during the coming week
go on" at the hours when usually
those of less strength are seen. 1t Will
do necessary for those who wish to see
all of what without reflection on the
others may be termed the leading acts
TO visit Keth's as early as 1850 In the
afternoon or in the evening.
The three leading headline features
are Bunth and Rudd, Margaret Corn
lille. and Reno and Richards, two ap-
pearing here for the frst TING. and the
latter with a record of the greatest sue
cess ever made here by a comedy aero
batic team" Bunth and Rudd, who
have returned temporarily from Europe

circuit, are described as "grotesques;"
but their act is OF such nature that IL

been more successful than THE Man

Mr.. Hyde" Manager Spitz, realizing
this fact. feels confident that many ol
the patrons OF his house would onc=
more like 10 see Mr.. Shea In the DASH
ing character OF Capt. Jack Conway uf
the United States ship New Orleans,
which Is the leading part in the Man
O-Wars-Man."
The play Is 50 constructed as TO In
troduee many novel stage effects
worthy OF particular mention. The eni
OF the third act, which shows the arr
rival OF the United States fleet and rne
great battle scene in the last act never
fail 10 excite great enthusiasm.
One pleasant feature about "'rhe
Man o. Wars-Man," is that 1t is one OF
the few naval plays that a LADY, can
witness and enjoy for ihe simple rec
son that il has bright comedy with a
love story running through II, and 4 Is
not marred by cons:ant cannonad!'s
The author I'm writing the 'Man-O-
Wars Man" took particular pains 10
eliminate all such ear-splitting noise.
Tuesday and Thursday evenings Mr..
Shea will present his dramat Zation of
Stevenson's weird romance of Doctor
.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" This fascinat-
ing and startling drama is one that the
theatre going public can never forget
after having seen it and one always
seems anxious 10 witness the play at
every opportunity. In the dual role
Mr.. Shea has been credited by both
press and public with giving an admi-
rable performance. The Man-O-Wars-
Man" will be produced on Monday.
Wednesday, Friday and Saturday eve

Wild pecans having found some good

Gulf. Colorado and Santa ne and In
some OF the counties traversed by the
Fort Worth and Rio Grpnde and the
Texas Central.
Mir V. Kemendo. who has been
watching the pecan crop OF Texas for
ten years says that the output OF the
year 1898 will exceed that OF the pre-.
vlous year. and Is nevertheless a short
crop. lie says the shippers paid from
i-2c to &c when the crop was good
about three years ago, and could easily
supply themselves at those prices,
whereas at the present high figure the
offerings are by no means large.
The pecan crop, Mr.. Kemendo thinks,
will ultimately be worth ns much as
the cotton crop to the state Of Texas,
because pecan trees are peculiarly
adapted TO the climate and soil OF the
western portion Of this state and the
nuts possesses a flavor which recon-
mends them over the product OF any
other state. In all tho markets OF the
world, France, England. Germany and
Italy and Russia are ordering Texas
peoans and are glad TO get them for
use In the confoctlonorles OF the for
