Mr.. Il. j. Carpenters great scenic
production OF "Quo Vadis," comes TO
the opera house next Friday. On ac-
count OF the immense popularity OF
the book, this play has attracted much
attention. Its presentation brings
out large numbers OF literary people,
who are eager % enjoy the story with
the added charm Of proper stage sett-
ing. The costumes are historically
correct, each being copied from those
in the British Museum, and are mar
velOus of magniiicence. All the
scenery is carried by the company and
IL includes some very elaborate views
among them being Nero's Palace at
Rome, the Garden OF Aulus Plautius,
the Coliseum, the Roman Amphi-
theatre and Arena, and the Burning
Of Rome. The play follows the book
closely and brings out the startling
scenes in singularly realistic manner
The cast is a well balanced one, and
was especially selected for "Quo
NadiS." The company Is necessarily
large one and thoroughly at home In
their various roles. The enormous
vanity OF Nero, the unfinching 10y
atty OF the Goth, the brilliancy of
Petronius, and the courage and tender
ness OF Ninicius, and the Roman Hos
tage, Lygia, form perfect kaleido-
scope OF human emotions, which can
not fail TO interest students Of human
nature.
III the press reports Of the last week
are true, the 500 has secured one OF
the greatest iron manufacturing in
dustries i'm the country. IL Is To be
known as the International Steel,
Iron and Pipe company and is To have
a capital stock Of $50,000,000. Con-
tracts are said To have been made
with the railroads for the hauling OF
coal from the Pennsylvania fields at
little more than the cost Of hauling to
Pittsburg and the hauling Of the iron
product To the seaboard at little more
than the cost OF hauling IL from
Pittsburg TO the sea. How much CT
this is fiction remains TO be seen but
where this is SO much smoke there
must be some fire. The immense
water power Of the st. Mary's river
has been turned To use by the means
of canals giving cheap motive power,
which is the magnet that is drawing
SO many concerns To the city at the
east end of the peninsula.
