Con una sola idea podrla mes ex
pre- ssr nuestro juicio acerca de- esas

pc Roncuroni ha estado eh todas
elias la altura de Ia justa Ia que
goza en- estos paises; pero h1y que
dar conocer al publico de Ia isla
ciertos detal]es que sc rozan con es-
ia companfa.
Roncoroni tiene un 1nagn1fco
repertoire moderno. Las obras que
pone en- escena son de los mejores
autores espaf1oles, francases, Italia
nos ingleses. Cualquiera repre-
sentacion dada por la com panfa
Roncoroui, supone Ia exhibicion de
una obra dramatica de pr imer Or
den.
Pocas veces sc aa visto en- Pom

ra. En- todas las obras indicaias,
las decoracionea trafdas por Romeo
roni han levantado en- ell publico un
murmullo de aprobaci6n pof' 10 nue.
vas, elegantes y apropiadas.
Roncoroni sigue en- el apogeo
de sus facultades artfsticas. Hay
que verlo trAgico en- Fedord y Los

Zosco, y actor c6mico en- Dl1rand y
Daerand Yo de mi, Sc decif, que a

Con Roncoroni sigue Evangelina

La actual compaf1fa de Romeo

WHY T THUSLY?

What have the people of Albany
county done to the Rawins Republi-
can? It has always appeared to us
that we have been moderately fair
with him and his people, and yet We
are frequently subjected to inuendoes
and SCOTS hat are unjust. Under the
caption, will have to Show Us" the
latest issue of the Republican says:
"A dispatch from Laramie says: 1t
Is confidently expected that work on
the Hahn's Peak, Laramie & Western
railroad, from Laramie to Grand En-
campment, will be begun shortly, and
completed as far as Grand Encamp-
ment this season. The last difficulty
concerning the r~ight-of-way has been
removed, and that the company financ-
ing the enterprise is ready to begin
operations at once
Most people in this section will have
to sec something more tangible than a
blue print of the right-of-way before
they will build many hopes on this
road being constructed very soon.
ct Is given out in Laramie that w.
H. Chapman, late of the Chicago &
Northwestern, and now connected with
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
has been appointed general manager
Of the new line, and is expected to
come to Laramie July 18th to superin-
=.

for the structure have been received
and at the present time the permanent
is being secured. In all
and fairness, could the people
connected with the corporation have
done any more if they had tried? Isn't
the work already performed enough
for one year? Do the people of Raw
Inns demand that a railroad shall be
completed in a single season?
In another part of the Republican
We find the following item, which has
a forlorn sound:
The Laramie papers stated that
the company is making arrangements
to put in 5000 more feet of traCkage
in the yards there. The Laramie folk
take this as an indication that the
Fifth and Sixth districts will not be
abandoned"
The people of Laramie do not take
the extension of the yards at this point
as an indication of anything in partic-
ular, only that it is the purpose of the
Union Pacific to equip itself to proper
ly handle the large and constantly
growing business it is required to han,
die at this point. Perhaps some few
pessimists in this city had the idea that
a change might be made after the
completion of the Cut-offs. but the time
has passed and their fears have been
~allayed. But why should Rawlins
worry owe the matter? Would 1t be
of any benefit to hat town to keep I'm
ion Pacific employees on the road fol
25 hours at a time? Would she no
benefit just as much if Laramie is the
eastern terminus of the district? II
the railroad men we're required to run
through from Rawlins to Cheyenne
they would be more tired than they
are now and would sleep away all theil
time in Rawlins. Now they do see tho
town once in a while.
Let us be friends and pull together
for the interests of the state.

Of Author Of David Harum,

That the author of David Harum'
was conspicuous for his mellow barry
tone voice is little thought of by those
who only know him as an author, says
Helen c. Candee in June Literary Era.
II was a voice so sweet, SC rich. n so
flexible, hat it could play any prank
with the emotions of those who heard
it, and had Westcott chosen to devote
his life to music he would have become
a noted singer. But he contented
himself with the modest position OF
basso in a quartette choir in Syracuse,
and in %delighting his own special
friends by singing in a drawingroom.
He was fond of telling of an occasion
on which he was invited to sing at a
concert in one of the smaller towns of
western New York. On this perfume
tory jaunt-which was quite without
interest to the fastidious Mr.. Westcott
he was saved from such a hotel as
that which insulted John LenoX, by
the hospitality of the man who organ,
lied the concert, a person of much 10,
cal Importance. The musical affair
passed of satisfactorily with the help
of the neighborhood talent assisted by
Mr.. Westcott's rare voice. AS Mr.,
Westcott was about to retire his host
came timidly to his room, carrying two
long paper boxes. Il leave the house
so early in the morning to go to my fac,
tory" the mar explained, that I'm
afraid may not see you, but | want &C
give you something for your singing
tonight. Now, here's two pair of the
best real whaleboned corsets THAI our
factory turns out. and | want you to
take them home with you" When Mr..
Westcott found he could not even pro,
test effectually, his sense of humor
came to his relief, and the fastidious
man of cultivated extravagances stalk.
ed home laughing, the next day, with
two pair Of useless corsets in exchange
for his matchless songs.

Ten cents worth of plaster of Paris
will make quite a number. Select some
pretty half-tones and cut of the white
margins. Put them face downward in
a round or oval dish. Pour the melted
plaster Of Paris over them until 1t is
about one-quarter of an inch thick or
a little more. Before 1t hardens, in
sert a match near the top, to make a
hole through which a cord or ribbon
may be passed to hang it up by; a
heater finish is secured by sewing little
bits of tape on small brass rings and
pressing the tape into the soft plaster
and covering it well, SO that it becomes
firmly embedded in 1t when dry. An
ivory tint may be given to the plaster
by the addition of a little well-strained
coffee. This is a most effective way to
mount inexpensive pictures. One Of
these PLAQUES will be much appre-
ciated as a gift by a friend OF artistic
tastes. Suitable pictures may be cut
from magazines, papers. or book cata-
logues.

JOKE ON SNAKE CHARMER.
1t Reacted ON the Joker In A. Unoom.
Portable Way.

1t Reacted on the Joker In -. Unoom-
Portable Way.
Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans,
when a young officer, was on the In
dian Station in the man-of-war Della
ware. With several others he set up a
bungalow on shore. He tells in "A
Sailors Log" published by the Apple
tons, what happened to a snake-charm-
er that came along: The unfortunate
thought came to one Of our men that
1t would be a good idea to get the Mo-
hammedan drunk to see what he would
do; SO he prepared a dose for him
that was very effective. He poured 4
good stiff drink Of brandy into a beer
glass, and then filled 1t with gin in
stead Of water. The charmer took
kindly to the drink, and in a short time
rolled out of his chair on to the floor
The bag Of snakes had not been
thought Of up to this time, but it also
fell, and the inhabitants quickly spread
over the floor. In the meantime five
American officers took to the table,
and drawing their feet up carefully re-
manned there until the snake-charmer
slept off his dose. He snored quietly
while the snakes crawled over and
around him, but it was a long time
before he finally came to himself, Sc
cured his pets and took them away.
We did not repeat that experiment"

When Adelina Patti laughs the heart
lest 1t Is at the recollection of her
first appearance as Lucia in London.
She was very anxious to dress the
part correctly, SO she studied her Wal
ter Scott, and, finding that Lucia in
the earlier scene was described as
wearing a scarlet cloak, she discarded
the traditional pearl-gray silk and tar
tan scarf Of the Italian prima donna
and came before her audience In the
guise Of the original bride. But the
audience had accustomed itself to ira
dition and did not recognize Lucia in
such homely attire. They didn't know
what I was about" laughs Patti. Il
do believe they really thought that l
was going to play Little Red Riding
Hood, and was making game Of them"

Some time ago George Febry, College
of st. James, Washington County, Md,
bored a hole through an elm tree and
inserted a growing Concord grapevine,
which, when it had grown so 1t filled
the hole, was cut of at one end. The
vine continued to grow, being fed, it is
supposed, with sap from the elm tree,
and bore luscious grapes. A writer in
Meehan's Monthly expresses his belief
that the heart of the elm tree was rot
ten. The vine could send its roots
through the rotten material, even down
to mother earth. But only in pea
ance would it be fed by the sap of
the elm tree" The writer knows of a
currant bush that bears freely every
year, and has for many years, that has
hold in a decayed spot in a linden
tree.

AMERICAN COAL THE BEST,
English Expert Says 1t s~urpsssss Any
Other In the World.

Ever since l was a boy l have been
ing Goals TO Newcastle whenever l
performed unnecessary tasks" said
Richard Harker, of Newcastle-on-
Tyne, England, last night. ITO carry
Goals to Newcastle was supposed TO be
as futile a task as trying % sweep
zach the waves on the ~seAsnore. l
have lived to see Goals carried to New
castle. however, and. being an Eng
lishman, it grieved me to say that the
Goals in question came all the way
from America. Within the last few
years an enormous mount OF coal has
been shipped from Norfolk, Va, to va
rious parts of England. Some OF 1t
went to Portsmouth, to the naval sta
ton there. mt many tons were sent to
Newcastle. We have better facilities
for handling coal there than any other
place in TIE United Kingdom. For
many years it has been the center OF
the coal mining industry of our coun-
try and consequently the arrangements
and appliances for shipping fuel to va
rious parts OF the country are away
ahead OF those of other towns. Inc
coal that comes from the western por-
ton of the state of Virginia-soft coal,
| mean-is the finest fuel for steam
ships that is mined anywhere in the
world. The coal seems to produce
more steam from a small quantity than
any | have seen. 1t is now used ex-
tensively on the vessels OF the BRUSH
navy, and from what | saw a week ago
in Norfolk and Newport News, l should
Judge that the shipment must amount
to millions of tons a year."-Washing-

BRUSHES OF IxTLE FIBRE.
Valuable PIaut which Grows on Upiands
Of Mexico.

htuAp
OF Mexico.
For the bristles in the paint and
whitewash brushes America is ebt
to the patient labor of women and
children in their homes in Mexico. Inc
material Of which these brushes are
largely made is the iXtle, istle. or TAM
pico fibre, from the plant Of that name.
America Imports more than 5000 ton
OF ixtle fibre a year, a third OF the en-
tire output of Mexico, n we pay to
our Southern neighbor $3.50 for 1t.
The ixtle plant is one of h numerous
maguey family of plants and grows to
a height of from IL to 16 feet. 1t can
be propagated either from seeds or
scions, preferably the latter. The CEN
trail stalk and the seeds and seed pods
are eaten by the Mexicans. This plant
is an exception to most OF the fibre
producing species, as 1t grows on the
uplands and never Is found near the
seacoast or in the hot regions OF the
southern part Of Mexico. Throughout
the Central and Northern States 1t
may be found growing wild on the
highland plateaus. The Mexicans use
the fibre for making stout bags and
ropes. The thick, meaty leaves Of the
plant. after cutting, are put into water
and brought to a scalding point. Then
they are placed on a board with a
clamp at one end that holds two or
three leaves. like a letter-clip, and the
pulp is scraped away from the long,
tough fibre with a knife or the rib Of
a horse. This work is done by women
and children.

FRIDAY, JUNE IA, 1901.
ELWOOD MEAD'S CALAMITY.

The sympathy of the people of the
entire arid region will go out to Prof.
Elwood Mead in the our of his great
atfliction. In an editorial on the ter
rible calamity, the Cheyenne Leader
says:
A terrible accident has happened to
Mr.. Elwood Mead, which will cost
him his good right arm, and possibly
his life. He undertook to get on a
street car as it was rapidly turning a
corner of a stree and falling pros
trate another car, which was close be-
hind, ran over his right arm above
the elbow. crushing the bone and
severing the main artery. A dispatch
says there was a great loss of blood,
which is a serious matter; the effect
of which will not be manifested for sew
eral days. Mr.. Mead was not a
strong man. but he has shown re-
markable nerve in this case. He must
overcome the effect of hemorrhage
shock as we'll as the shocks from the
crushing of his arm and the amputa-
from ffty-two to f%ifty-four hours to as
certain what the prospects are for re.
covery. in the case of an operation.
but in the case Of great loss of blood
the result cannot always be determin-
ed until later. The system is provid-
ed with nourishment for several days,
but the crisis comes when this supply
is exhausted. The demands will then
be excessive to furnish new blood. as
well as sustain the general system and
meet the urgency Of the wounds.
Mr.. Elwood Mead has been of ines
Unable service to the state of Wyo-
ming and was in a way to do a great
work for the nation. He IA an ed
ucator Of educators, a teacher Of sci
entists, an original thinker. and we
might say a discoverer. His fame was
becoming world wide. Institutions or
learning On the Pacific coast and the
Atiantic" applied to him for knowledge.
His great specially was that of irri,
cation. Approaching the fact that
one-half OF the United States was an
arid region. and that much of this land
could be made productive, he set to
work to solve the problem of reclama.
ton. He recognized what had been
done in the past in older countries and
the efforts Of modern America, and his
aim was to bring into use all that was
known to the world or the subject and
secure the adoption Of cooperative
methods. This was the work that the
government called upon him to do, and
great Roadway was being made.
Therefore it would be a serious ma
tional loss II this accident that befell
him yesterday should prove fatal.
Wyoming owes its splendid system
of irrigation laws to Mr.. Mead. and
other western state have profited
thereby, but this was only a begin
ming. His greatest achievements are
still to come, IL his life is spared.

AMERICAN PRE-EMiNENCE.
United States Ahead of Other Nations
II Bridge building.

Americans are twenty years in ad-
vance of other nations Except Canada)
in the art of bridge design and con-
struction. The steel OF which a bridge
is made represents about half Of its
cost. Steel is now made in the United
States at much less cost than in any
other country. In Britain, labor is so
much hampered by trades-unionism
that it is admitted by one of the lead
ers that the cost OF labor in making
steel in the United States is not one
half of what 1t is in Britain. This can
be said also of the labor employed in
manufacturing. The market for bridges
Is far greater in the United States
than elsewhere. The states have now
been estimated that there is an average
of one span Of metallic bridge for every
three miles Of railway. This gives 3d.
900 bridges on existing lines, without
including those required for new lines.
The increase in the United States Of
the weight Of cars and engines has re-
suited in wonderful economic changes.
The average rate Of freights on Amer
lean railways was in 1867 a little over
IS per ton. Now it averages IS cents.
Any n can figure the saving on &c.,
OOO, 900 of ton of freight moved in
1900. These larger cars carry double
the paying load of the old ones that
they have superseded, and more power
full engines draw more cars in a train.
This increase Of weight Of rolling stock
has led to the renewal Of the So 900 old
bridges by stronger and heavier ones,
This demand has brought into exis-
tence many bridge-building companies,
and they a well afford to equip them
selves with the best labor-saving and
mountaineering machinery, regard
less Of first cost. as they know 1t
would seldom II aver lie idle. European
bridge builders are not in this position.
Trains have not increased in weight as
they have in America. The old bridges
answer their purpose, and the demand
has been chiefly confined to new ones
Bridge building is merely an adjunct
to other business, and possibly the
owners are wise in not investing much
capital in special tools.-T. C. Clarke
In the Engineering Magazine.
