SYDNEY AN ORANGE MART.
Ctfrous Fruits Grow as PIentifuIIy in Parramatta as Apples
 fin Kent.

Australia has one of the most suit able orange growing districts of the world. What apple culture is in Eng
 land that of the orange is in New South Wales, the Parramatta district, near Sydney, being to Australia what Kent, with it's countless luxuriant orchards, is to the United Kingdom. The scenery of the Parramatta river is not unlike that of the Thames above Richmond, only more romantic and beautiful, especially during springtime, when the wonderful pro- fusion of wild flowers imparts an ad- ditional charm to the picture. Even the masses of rock, which in many places rise boldly from the edges of the stream, are decked with bright colored clusters of Australian native flowers of the most lovely and varied description.
 The trees also claim large share of admiration not only from the lover of the beautiful in nature, but also from the utilitarian, for they include the orange, with it's bright green foi- age and dainty white flowers or rich golden fruit both seen on the tree ct one and the same time. The orange is not only picturesque adjunct to the garden, but also more than re- pays the trouble and cost of cultiva- ton. In the Parramatta district rich and luscious oranges are as plentiful as blackberries in an English country lane during the autumn time.

WHEN THE CATs AWAY.

A farce called tsWhen the Cats Away will be presented on Friday and Saturday evenings at Polls. The piece is from the pen of Turned Up'' 1n which Nat Goodwin starred for sev- eral seasons. It is described as a farce of Complications. although not of the conventional type. Several unique characters are introduced such as a variety song and dance man with a faculty for converting suggestions into rhyme, co1ored cook of unusual avoir- dupOis and who aspires to rule not only everyone and everything in her own allotted domain. but the entire household as we'll. the up-to-date so- ciety girl with a fondness for mascu- line sports, and the deceptive appearing young westerner whose coming is awaited with fear and trembling. which is quickly dispelled by his lili- putian appearance and milksOp man. ners that belle the name and the repu- fatioE which the imagination of the others have provided for him. The sale of seats opens tomorrow, prices being 25. 35, 50 and 75 cents.

of Mother Eve, who would no doubt have much preferred to have Father Adam offer her the forbidden apple than to have had to reverse the pro- gramme, it has pleased women to be asked out to dine. It matters not how far up the social scale the woman may have climbed the pleasure is the same, about the only difference being in the cost necessary to secure the pleasure.
 The good old grandmothers to whom dinners came only as part of the do- mestic duty may have wondered at the pleasure they took in being asked out to dine. They could realize that it was not the mere eatables that gave them the pleasure, but what was it? To-day it is easy to find an explanation for the question. It is the dinner gown; the privilege of wearing it, and of seeing others wear them.
 Whatever she may say to the con trary, woman likes to dress up," as the children say. She likes to feel that she looks nice, and she wants other people to see her; and finally, she likes to compare herself and her gown with others and their gowns. Where can all these aspirations be better full filled than in the gorgeous dining re- sorts of the present day? They seem to be specially-and very wisely--de- signed for women. The lights, the decorations, the luxuries mise-en-scene of fashionable restaurant, all make for the effective display of dinner gowns; and if one would learn the der nier cri in evening dresses and cultures, and see women at their brightest and best, it is to the table d'hote of the fashionable hotel or restaurant at Newport that they should go.
 That is just where went to study dinner gowns, and I was well paid for, my trouble. saw there some decided ty striking novelties, and among them was one of black mousseline de soie, trimmed with a narrow ruching of white mousseline de soie. The skirt was made very full, but fitting the fig ure snugly about the hips. The white mousseline de soie ruchings were put

SPARKS OF ELECTRICITY

The Swedish governm1nt IS dis posed to adopt electricity on its en- tire railway system.
 Nearly 2,oo0 farmers within 30 miles of Chicago have had their houses equipped with telephones.
 Improvements are constantly being made in the electrolysis of metals for various purposes, and in the sep aration by this means of gold and sli- yer from their compounds.
 Electric trolley lines extending across Michigan, northwestern Ohio and portion of western Pennsyl- vania, will hereafter carry express goods and freight in competition with existing lines.
 Electrical industries have bounded forward at the rate of 53 per cent. advance annually. for 54 years, un- til to-day 100000 persons in this country earn living in the various lines of electrical business.
 T. c. Martin, an authority upon the subject, finds that 100000 people are employed in telegraphy, 26,0o0 by Bell telephone companies, 15o.00o in electric lighting plants, 150.0o0 on street railways operated by electric ity, and 150,ooo in electrical factories.
 The Belgian government has ex- perts here selecting large quantities of electrical equipment. Cape Town, South Africa, is to be furnished with several thousand American mean descent lamps. Most American cleo tric plants are crowded with orders for European delivery.

MY LADy's STYLES.

With the new style of hairdressing the younger women are wearing wpeaths of flowers, and small roses are among the prettiest.
 Plain suits, those designed for hard usage and morning occasions, are many of them quite plain, trimmed 5nly with stitched bands of the mate riaL
 Simplicity rules in the greater number of gowns. and white satin gown worn by a woman with beau fiful figure was absolutely plain, with only a bit of chiffon to soften the lines about the decolletage-
 From across the sea comes the in- formation that French damsels, afraid of the moonlight, are purchas- ing moon shades, as opposed to sun shades, made of double mousseline de sole, in size between a fan and a parasoI with a folding handle
 Lines of velvet will remain in favor Rather novelty is use of velvet of various widths This is charming in purple, used on violet mualin- There nro half dozen rows on the skirt. the widest starting as heading Tor Che shnped founce and the narrowest hand outlining the yoke.
 1t is remarkable how the fashion fer wearing sandals has developed Af a single shop in London belonging to firm which has been devoting it1eH to saudal-making orders have boen taken during the last eight wnsks for no fewer than 12,ooo pairs.

THE PARISH PRIEST.

Poli's theater will pretty certainly pc crowded this evening when MT Daniel Sully appears in his well-known play, ssThe Parish Priest" The play has already won its way into public favor here. and it is not too much to say of it that no play of modern times has made a more profound impression on certain clements of the theater-going public. It treats of a theme that is unique in dramatic composition and that appeals to the heart with wonderful pathos- In his impersonation of Father Whalen the role that MT SulIy plays. he shows us a man human like other men, of visiting his flock, capable of telling a stery of mingled pathos and humor that will bring a tear to the eye one minute or a smile to the lip the next. Not the kind of priest you read of, but one, like thousands of them, to be found every day. lending helping hand to the poor and needy, hopeful and strong in the hour of trouble, with a cheery word and look to chase away the gloom and bring sunshine into heart and home once again. In fact, q character that only to come in con tact with makes life seem the brighter and purer. It is needless to say that in this character MT Sully has made the hit of his stellar career. But realizing that one man does not make the play Mir Sully has surrounded himself with an excellent cast which includes many of the old favorites. An excellent sale of seats has already been recorded and 1t will be well for all who intend to see the play to buy their seats before the doors open this evening. Prices are 9, 35, 50, 75c and S1.O0.

FOREST PARK.

Dan Barnell, the daring aeronaut, now appearing at Forest park, where he will be seen every afternoon this week, made an ascension yesterday that was one of the most successful, from a spectacular point of view, of the season. The balloon fioated away across the lake, and the parachute drop was made beyond the hills that skirt the left side of the lake, as viewed from the park proper. A great throng of people saw the ascension and drop In the theater the bill includes Wood and Ray, McRae and Wyatt, Conway and Held, and Perry and Gill son, the last team being we'll known here Conway and Held present a most amusing turn, Conway's laughing song being as funny as ever. Two large audiences heard the two perform nnces yesterday and voted the show
 first class. The show is one of She best seen here this season.

about, but of which we have seen but few. It was a decollete blouse of white silk and chiffon yelled with lace. The blouse was made with a tight ft- ted lining of white silk, yelled with chiffon and the lace over. Folds of white chiffon around the decollete, with black ostrich feathers appliqued in cobwebby black lace. These were all a glitter with shower of golden beads, and with golden cabochon caught in the feathery coils at the top. Lace sleeves, with three narrow ruff1es of white chiffon at the top.
 It is a long jump from dinner gowns, and especially such dinner gowns as are being worn at Newport, to outing hats And yet the outing hats are quite as much in keeping with the ex- travagance of the season as are the dinner gowns.
 Of these hats there is an almost end less variety, but the one of which the greatest number is seen is the Panama. This the summer girl has adapted for her use with cleverness that does herr great credit. Of course they are ex- pensive, much more so than almostany of the other forms of outing milli- nery that is offered, but then the size of the price only makes it so much more desirable, and goes well with other features of the summer toilette.
 Iwould not say the Panama as worn by the Newport summer girl is a thing
