Mrs. LeMoyne.

In one short season Sarah Cowell Le Moyne has been firmly established among the stars of first magnitude in the Ameri- can dramatic Armament. Although, as Sarah Cowell, she made her debut and played for three years in the famous Union Square Stock Company, the larger part of her career had been devoted to the Lyceum stage, particularly as an interpreter of Shakespeare and Browning. decade spent in the study of these great poets and their interpretation enabled her to return to the acting stage as one of the greatest emo- tional actresses as well as finished elocu- tionists since the days of Charlotte Cush- man. Her impersonation of Mrs. Lorimer in 'The Moth and the Flame,' and the Duchess de Coutras in Catherine" at once established her rank among contem- porary players, and the mere announcement of her advancement to stellar rank met with the hearty approval of all play-goers and dramatic critics who had witnessed her work. Mrs. LeMoyne will be seen in "The Greatest Thing In the World" at the Jef- ferson Theatre tomorrow night. The same star, play and company appeared here about a month ago and scored such a pronounced hit that the very fame of the performance then given will probably fill the Jefferson Theatre.

BOOM IN COAL LANDS.
Forty Thousand Acres Change Hands
 in One Week.

Altoona, Pa, January s.-Among the sub- stantial things which the new century brought to the central bituminous coal filed was a boom in the purchase of coal lands almost unprecedented in the history of the soft-coal trade, Four big deals were con- summated last week by which 40,0OO acres of coal lands changed hands at purchase price of a little over $1, 100000.
 The most important of these deals was a sale outright of 22,OOO acres of coal lands in Young, Blacklick, and Conemaugh town ships, Indian County, at $40 per acre flat The purchaser is Philadelphia syndicate in which it is hinted Senator Cochran, F. A B. Widener, and William Elkins are the moving figures. The territory will be taken up immediately and developed, railroads into the field having already been con- tracted for.
 The Buffalo, Rochester and P1ttsburg Railway yesterday paid out $1OO,00O for 4oOo acres of coal land in the same county, com prised in the Dickey leases. The big Two Lick holdings of 5000 acres were sold last week ito Dr.. William Frear trustee for a New York syndicate, for $120,0 The last block sold was 5000 acres at Graceton which passed into the McCreery Coke Com pany for $100,000.

Otis Skinner.

Tonight Otis Skinner will be at the Jeff ferson Theatre, appearing for the first time iE his new play, Prince Otto" MT. Skin ner has always been great favorite here and has always been received by large and enthusiastic audiences. Judging from the advance sale, which is already large, this visit will emphasize his popularity The play is said to be a decided success and 1t is reported that MT. Skinner has most excellent part which he plays with the charm and grace with which he dignities any part entrusted to his care The com pany is an excellent one.
 Capt. Frank P. O'Brien who knows a good play when he sees it, in discussing MT. Skinner's engagement yesterday, said:
 During a visit to New York last sum- mer, it was my good fortune to witness the presentation of Prince Otto," by MT. Otis Skinner, assisted by an excellent company of players. Recognizing the law of the sur vival of the fittest; and believing that merit should have it's just reward, it gives me great pleasure to bear testimony to the pur- ity of this great production and the ability of the very excellent people Mir Skinner has called to his aid in its presentation.
 ''Ttne patrons of the Jefferson Theatre will feel amply paid for the expense in- cured after witnessing this play, as pre- sented by MT Skinner and his most excel lent company"

HOW TO MAKE
 CORNSTALKS USEFUL

From recent inventions and investiga- tions regarding the cornstalk it would ap- pear that this once wasted product is like ly to be of such value as to pay for the cultivation of itself alone leaving the grain it supports as clear profits According to results of experiments made by the United States Agricultural Department the follow ing new uses of the plant have been de- veloped:
 A packing for warships; high grade or writing paper; the basis for a smokelesS powder and a cattle food made by grind ing the dry cornstalks, leaves and top 1o a powder and mixing it with cheap mo- lasses. This rev food is pressed into cakes under hydraulic press and can be shlppeo as easily as bricks or cordwood. For Ieed- ing it is broken up and mixed with water Actual tests have been made and samples have been sent to agricultural stations in Europe The reports from all sources are very encouraging. This food will be par ticularly valuable for our cavalry in the tropics and the food cakes can be made at a minimum cost in Cuba and the southern states, where thousands of tons of low grade molasses go to waste annually. Ihe cost of making the food cakes under favor able conditions would be from $10 to $12 a ton, and their value a nutritive basis would be from $22 to $25 per ton It can De made perhaps cheaply by using corn molasses, glucose or the refuse from sor- ghum syrup mills for sweetening

A Young Wife.

Frank Tannehill, Jr., the wel-known comedian, appears here Monday next at the Jefferson Theatre al the head of "A Young Wife" Company, presenting this successful play. MT. Tannehill as Horace Greengage Dobbins" is said to be excellent in this part. A recent paper, speaking of his performance of this part, said: MT. Frank Tannehill, Jr., as Horace Greengage Dobbins, made a most decided hit He was the Vermonter to the life. A clever person. as New Eng flanders say, was MT. Dobbins, or 'Hod,' as he preferred to be called, who is not as green as he at first seemed. His experiences in the city helped cut his wisdom teeth, and he it was who finally succeeded in unrav- cling the tangled thread of circumstances. In every situation he was up to the mark. He was irresistibly funny when he first came to the city, astute enough when the life of his friend as well as his own de- pended upon his discretion, and manly and thoroughly admirable in his capacity for friendship and affection"
