OALYS COMEDY
A MERRY BILL
Spirited Rendition by the Neills
Keeps House in Laughter
Last Night.

The Neills gained a fresh hold upon
the fancy of the Honolulu public last
evening with a spirited presentation of
Days comedy the Lottery of Love-
Like all the Daily comedies adapted
and written for that clever caste Of
players, the piece is breezy and easily
brings laughter With the others, the
plot is a maze of complications and
misunderstanding arising in a COM
paratively natural manner from an inn
probable state of affairs, supposed to
be taken for granted before the play
commences. The situations depend
greatly upon the versatility of the
players to make them successful, al
though humorous enough in them
selves. The dialogue, sometimes bor-
rowed, is always witty like the bub-
bIes in a glass of champagne, a smile
indeed that fits the play. There is no
deep thought, only merry laughter.
AS with all the Daily series the COM
edy is well balanced, the first act leads
up to better one, and the third sus-
tains them both.
The players had the audience con-
falling to Lillian Andrews, Mr. Nein
and John Burton. Neill himself was
naturally and artistically humorous in
an easily exaggerated role. Burton
was excellent as the eccentric Butter
corn. He was thoroughly humorous,
without appearing studied. MacVicars.
as ever, presented a consistent char
acter study of the old salt.
With the short cast. several members
of the company had a holiday, Miss
BrowneI having an opportunity that
she appreciated and handled very
daintily. Miss Chapman had but Il
small role, which her laugh alone rem
dered enjoyable, while her daintily
rendered epilogue was perhaps the
most artistic speech of the play. Mr..
Morris was good; Miss Forbes was
good; so were the remaining three.
There is another DAILY play on the
repertoire, Nancy & Co.." and to-
nights performance Will probably
mean another disappearance of the
orchestra to make room for seats on
that occasion. ALLAN DUNN.

A NEW HOTEL LUXURY.

Hotels become more palatial day by
day both in outward appearance and
interior equipment. a Chicago hotel
now purposes to exceed the height of
luxury heretofore reached by it's neigh
bors. Not content with the ordinary
bathrooms, the management Is about
to add a new feature in the shape of
an atrima, corresponding to the inner
courts of the old Roman palaces, with
q pool of water in the center, lOung-
ing rooms adjoining, and every IA
cility for luxurious idleness which the
Chicagoan of the future may find time
for.

UNCOVERED COAL is COSTLY.

If a load of coal is left out of doors
exposed to the weather, say, for a
month, it loses one-third of its heat
ing qualities. If u ton of coal is placed
on the ground, left there, and another
ton is placed under a shed, the latter
loses about % per cent of it's heating
force, the former about AZ per cent
Hence it is great saving OF coal to
have it in a dry place, covered over
on all sides. The softer the coal, the
more heating power it loses, because
the volatile and valuable constituents
undergo slow combustion.

The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1901-04-20

There are some crops that do best
when planted on deep, loose soil.
among which may be mentioned
sweet and Irish potatoes, stock beets.
etc., but none of our southern staples
are subject to such requirement..
The best preparation for small grain.
corn or cotton is deep and thorough
blowing and pulverizing. and then a
deep and thorough compacting of the
soil. The old theory that the soil
should be as loose as possible to adj
init air to the roots OF plants is now
abandoned by our best farmers. Roots
need no more air than can. penetrate
the firmest soil, otherwise they would
not be entirely subterranean. But
aerating the soil has an important eff
feet, causing it to dry out rapidly.
These facts indicate the frequent use
of the land roller to compress the air
spaces in the soil and prevent this
drying out, and some implement that
thoroughly stirs the surface to
depth that will sufficiently interrupt
capillary action and, as it were, inn
prison the moisture.-Farm and
Ranch.

abort, thick, stoclky sets, usually dec
titute of all roots. Please remember
emphasize the fact that only those
sets coming from the top are the
ones to be desired; those from the
side or the bottom are quite differ
emit, and whilst by no means worth
less, still, other things being equal,
produce only about one-half what the
first-named ones will. But, in order
to have a first-class article, it would
undoubtedly be best to cut of the
tap root and peel off the lower srind
as we'll as that on the sides. 1t is true
this latter have not tested, but in
asmuch as potatoes split lengthwise
do their part producing sets, the
mere peeling of the skin could not
possibly have any injurious effects. In
other words, therefore, if you select
turnip-shaped seed potatoes, cut OF
the tap root and peel off the sides
and bottoms, put them into the seeG-
bed as they grew and cover very
slightly with loose soil, you will easily
double your crop.-Cor. Farmers

RAISING SWEET POTATOES.
How the Crop Of Tubers May be
Doubled without Incurring
Additional Expense.

Most any cultivator of sweet pota-
toes must have observed that, whilst
small, rusty plants never amount to
anything, the reverse is not always
true, for frequently the thriftiest
vines in the patch furnish q supera-
Guidance of fibrous roots, but no pc.
tatoes whatsoever. Then again, there
are such as have, practically speaking,
no fiber whatsoever, but from one to
four turnip-shaped Il make no refer
ence to the ''cowhorn" turnip, whose
form Is decidedly oblong), large tubers
and possibly one or two smaller ones,
though this latter is the exception. 1
have for years been endeavoring to
learn why this all important Differ
ence, and. simple a. the thing seems
to be, it took close observation to
solve the puzzle. The result I arrived
at IL this: Turnip-shaped potatoes
put in the seed bed the way they
grew, and covered verw slightly with
earth will make on the upper side
