Mr.. Greene, to Oblige some friends in

in the work that ] spent six months
on it. 1 expect to make no money

Early in the week il became appar-
ent that the town had relapsed into
normal state, after the long, heavy
strain under which il has labored
since the first of the year. But it is
problem still unsolved by managers
that certain attractions should have
Jared so poorly.
Eugene Blair was unfortunate
enough to have been sandwiched be-
tween WAY Down East" and its rec
ord-breaking run. and Modjeska, whose
visit has been anticipated for months.
She was lore unfortunate IN having
to present "A Lady of Quality" which
is at best an uninteresting dramatiza-
ton of an undeservedly popular book.
With such play and mediocre sup
port, 1t IS no great wonder that the
Blair engagement was more or less
probably mOre-unprOfitabl
Carmen" pleased where "A IaYJ of
Quality" failed. Had Carmen" been
put on first, better results would have
obtained.
The Little Minister" also came just
at time when play-Soers were whet-
ting their appetites FOR Modjeska and
her classic repertoire and the very fair
production given it so recently by the
Cummings company was undoubtedly
an additional handicap. The keen and
undying interest in 1.-THE Little Min
ister,' especially this version which
mad not been seen here before, tided
over the cOmpany's engagement.
1t is a good deal harder to account
for the Indifferent and sometimes frigid
reception of the jules GraU Opera
company, which has heretofore, with in
feriOr PEOPLE and OrganiEa ton managed
to pack The popular priced house night
after night, and. on one occasion at
least week after week. Perhaps the
recollection of the decaXed pile of junk
served by the Graus last year preclud-
ed all possibility of a successful week.
Manager Mulvey attributes it to apa-

Laying theories aside, it is certain
that few opportunities in the amuse-

During his residence in this parish
DIR. Wood had made many friends
who will regret his demise. He was

Using Beaumont Oil.

nj. Romano. the enterprising rice
planter of Wester Ogle is the first
person to employ Beaumont oil for
fuel. He received a tank car full
this week. 1t comes from the j. M.
Guffey company and he is haulingit
out to his rice farm about ~ miles
west of here, and will burn it in the
boiler which furnishes steam for
running his deep well pump. The
oil is being hauled in closed wooden
tanks, about the size of an ordinary
wagon body which we calculate
holds somewhere in the neighbour
hood of 400 gallons each. We have
rot yet learned the cost of his oil
delivered in Abbeville, nor its rela-
tive value as fuel compared to co:l /.
In some places it is estimated that
two barrels of oil are worth a ton OF
coal and the cost is only about one
half. If this be true then a new era
opens for this prize country.
