ENOCH ARDEN.
This Great Composition of Rich
ard Strauss to be Presented
Here i'm the Near
Future.

Richard Strauss, perhaps the
greatest exponent of the descrip-
tive echool of musical composition,
was inspired by Tepnyson's poem,
s'Enoch Arden,' to a set of very
benutiful mu>ical fancies. These
be transcribed for piano and
played them himself throughout
Germany, accompanied by the
reading of Ernest Won Possart,
famous actor of Munich. The idea
was eminently successful and the
great audiences were moved by
the weired ccmbination Of music
and human voice. TIE force of the
work Ii s in the % ysterious beauty
and charm of it's sue gestion. Every
line in the poem has its ref ction
in the musical phrase which ac-
companies. It is said that MIR.
Alfred Cowell Goodwin, who IS TO
play this work here shortly, i'm
bues every tone with the essence
of poetry, while Miss Breneman
simultaneously has perfectly
caught the spirit of sadness and
tender melancholy in voice, ges-
ture and accent. Miss Van Wag-
ner's exquisite violin tones and
Miss Chas e's beautiful voice Joins
in the ensemble at certain episodes
in the story. This work is one of
the greatest ever presented to the
American public, and it will be
heard by this Company from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and from
the Gulf to the ST. Lawrence
River and British Colum bia.
Enoch Arden will be preceded by
an exquisite concert program by
the company. The work has been
specially prepared for this COM
pany, and they will present some
beautiful new features. The Com
pany will appear here on Thurs
day October II.
This is the nost wonderful
work that has ever been pr esented
to an American audience, and is
sure to win fresh laurels wherever
given. This will be the society
event of the season. Already a
large number of seats.have been
spoken for.
Prices 25 and IS cents in Gal
lery; SO and Is cents seats are on
sale now at Robinson's Drug
Store. Saye money by buying Star
Course tickets, also on sale at
Roblpson's.

MEASURED BY RESULTS.
Richmond Times.

The more we read of the evil
dence before the naval court OF
inquiry the more astounded are
we at the manifestation of un.
friendllness toward Admiral
Schley. Although this man has
been in the service of the United
Stctes for forty-one years, and
although he has done valuable
service and has been faithful in
the discharge of every duty, as
attempt has been made to show
that he acted the part of the pol
troon in the engagement off San
tiago and should be held up to
public contempt.
More than this, the Govern
ment has attempted to prove that
Schley's conduct Of the campaign
was g miserable failure, yet the
results show that when the Span
ish ships came out Of the harbor
the American ships were in pos
sition TO meet them, and did meet
them and destroy the last one CT
them with scarcely any loss of
life and Little or no injury to our
own vessels. We are willing to
accord to admiral Sampson all
cre dit and every honor that be-
longs to him, but in point Of fact
be was not present when the bat
tie was fought. Schley was pres
ent and was in command of the
squadron, and the work Of that
day was complete.
In view OF this fact, in view of
the result. why in the name of
common sense should we give
credence to this officer and that
who talks about what might have
been, had the ships come out at
another time? II Schley had
permitted those ships to escape,
then his acts might have been
called in question, but as he met
them when they came out and
destroyed them, it seems to US
absurd and almost contemplate
for his brother off GERS in the
navy to be talking about bad
management on Schley's part
while the blockade was in force.
Schley was ordered to locate the
Spanish ships and bottle them
up and destroy them should they
attempt to escape. He was also
ordered not to unnecessarily ex-
pose his ships to the guns of the
enemy while the blockade was in
progress. Never we're orders
more eff ,iently executed, and
Schley's plan of campaign was
completely vindicated in the gIo-
rious results. Other gentlemen
of the navy seem to think that
they could have done it better,
but it seems to US that SchIcy
| 10 made a pretty complete job Of it.

of life's richest blessings.
The report that Robt. Artis, a
worthy darkey, who works for DIR,
Crawford, was killed by the shoo-fy
Saturday morning was untrne, al
though the darkey killed was ident-
fled by two neighbors as being
Robert, one saying he would have
sworn to it. However, Roberts ap-
pearance on the scene and proved
that he was not dead relieved the
minds of many of his friends The
boy killed was relative, Simpson

that the mistake was easily made.

To SAVE SUFFERING.

Many magnificent fowls ara lost
by scabies, disease caused bv 8

epidermic scales by burrowing. and

s multiplication OF the cells of the
part snd sn exudstion Of serum. Bv
the union Of these two conditions
tie white powdery crusts are
formed. which raises the epider-
mic scales from their normal posi-
tiop. If the crusts are removed
they are found to contain large
number OF depressions, and the lar
vac, males, and younger females
are found wandering beneath the
crust. As the crust thickens by
deposits on the inner surface. the
cavities first formed become smal-
ler by the drying of the walls sur
rounding them, and the ssrcopt
sbandons this location for posi-
tion nearer the flesh, where there is
more moisture. The mites. there
fore, are found only on the inner
surface OF the crust.

move the loosened scales in order
to bring the remedy in contact
with the mites. The legs should
be soaked for sufficient time il

NATIONAL IRRIGATION.

The arid and semi-arid regions
OF the great west, embracing, as
they do, millions of acres, need
the helping hand Of the nation to
make them productive.
Some hesdway has been made,
and more will be. The Hans
brough- -Newlands plan ia a meas
ure which should have the united
support Of the West. Its passage
would give a tremendous impetus
to western development. 1t re-
moves much of the old opposition
from the East to making direct ap-
propriations for storage reservoirs
and arid land reclamation in the
West, because it only sets aside
the proceeds from the sales of put
lilo lands AS fund to be used by
the national government for this
purpose. This will provide fund
OF several million dollars year.
There is ns doubt that few OBJ
iect lessons in actual construction,
showing the benefits, would so
much further remove eastern oppo-
,ition that 1t would be but a step
% secure direct appropriations en-
arging this fund to any desired
Imount in reason, and to bring
Ibout the full Inauguration of the
