AMUSE MENTS.
The American Girl"

Ore Of the greatest attractions Of the
season was the a. q. Scammon Com
rary in The American Girl at the
opera House. last evening. The play,
Will. giving the story of the hardships
and trials of mother with her two
children searching for her husband and
his search for his wife, after they had
been separated by the act Of sCoun-
drel takes one from the quiet farm life
of the South to the poverty and the
wealth of England, and is one of in
tense interest.
From the Favorable notices of this
company in other cities we had been
led 10 expect something very good and
if it was not good it is evident that
the ma jority Of those present were not
good Judges for they seemed to have
no mercy on the members of the COM
pany. but recalled them again and
again. George +. Eall. in the leading
rol.. of Ross Bolter. an American hus-
tier. was decidedly amusing and was
0 great favorite. Fred A. sullivan as
Sampson Craft. represented the villain
of the play. and he handled the part
in a way that brought credit to him
and to the company.
g. Alanson Lessey as Philip Devon.
the husband of Jasmine. and Frank
Auburne as Sir John Balfour. ably
carried out two strong parts. The easy.
charming stage appearance of Olive
North as jasmine wen great favor
with the audience. frankie st. John as
Twister, and later as Saratoga. was
one of the great attractions of the play
and also in the specialties Milly Stew
ems as Lady Georgiana Derwent ana
Dorothy La Mar as her daughter. Laura
| Derwrnt, ably acted the part of the
srobbst aristocrats.
Little Oracle Russell as Roy Devon
and little Daisy Stamre as Virginia
Devon were remarkably good. and it
seemed as though the audience could
NOT see enough Of them for they APP

From Staff Correspondent.
Columbus, Feb. 2S.-Hon. Anthony
Howells, one of the leading coal oper-
ators of the Massillon district, read
paper entitled, Goal and Coal Mining
in South Wales" at the meeting of the
Ohio Institute of Mining Engineers in
this city. He handled the subject in
'an interesting manner and gave thor
ough description of mining in South
Wales. Experts, he said, pronounce
the steam coal from this section the
finest in the world and in markets
where it is sent the United States has

ible headway. The coal from most of
England's mines Is of a superior quail
ity and Is in such demand that Ameri.
can competition is not strong. Mr..
Howells thinks it will be a long time
before the American mines will make
any material showing in the market
able territory of the British mines.
Prof. +. A. Ray, of the Ohio Univer-
sity, president of the institute, disputed
many of the statements in Mr.. Howell's
paper, declaring that the American
MINES WERE INCREASING
their prestige abroad to such an ex-
tent as to inspire fear in the minds of
the English competitor, The profes-
sor stated that the coal mines of Great
Britain are approaching exhaustion.
Mr.. Howells resides in Massillon. He
said his mines were being operated in
full and that the cold weather had in
creased the demand for coal consid
erably. The operators have one diff
Guilty to contend with, and that is the
shortage of cars. The railroads will
try to overcome this drawback.

TayIor-Sebring NuptiaIs
at Sebring.
ELABORATE FUNCTION
Beautiful Decorations and Su
perb Appointments--Present
From Mrs. Mckinley
The Weddjna Trip.

The wedding of Mr.. Homer Taylor
and Miss Pearl Sebring was celebrated
with great ostentation at Sebring, O.,
Wednesday evening. The preparations
for the event were made lavishly with
out regard for expense and the pro-
gram was carried out with all of the
eclat, which usually characterizes mat
rimonial functions in which the combi.
nation of great fortunes and vast inter-
ests are involved.
The ceremony took place at the new
Methodist church, which was beauti-
fully decorated for the occasion,
promptly at $3.50 o'clock. The party left
the Sebring home and were driven to
the church, arriving at the appointed
time. Meanwhile the guests had ar.
rived on special train and had been
transported to the church, where they
awaited expectantly the entrance of
the bride and groom. Finally the
swinging doors, leading into the vesti.
bule, were thrown open and the process
sion entered, headed by Rev. ]. H.
Norris, Of Pittsburg, who performed
the ceremony. Following him came
Rev. Clark Crawford, of East Liver.
pool, and Rev. Coursey, pastor of the
church. Then the groom, looking
handsome in his immaculate full dress,
