TOPICS OF THE THEATRE.


OF all the many musical comedies
presented this season, The Burgo-
master" seems TO be the most pro-
nounced financial and artistic triumph
of them all. Iuasmuch as two COM
panies are presenting this merry me-
lange. and considering the ultra unu-
susl press and public prestige it re-
ceives everywhere. we may justly ex-
pect an extraordinary feast of wit.
beauty and song. especially as we are
promis. d the original No. company
at the Burtis tonight.
Every lover of good wholesome
amusement ought to know that MA
loney's Wedding" will be at Harper S
theatre Friday evening. This is pro-
nouEced one of the bright comedy
successes of the season and brings
with it veritable epidemic of com-
edy, romp. song and surprises. 1t is
everywhere welcomed visitor. The
cast has the merit of capability and
includes such clever people as James
l.. McCabe, who assumes the part of
funny Dan Maloney, the victim of
many humorous matrimonial COM
plications. and Rose Bradbury, who
plays the part of the captivating
Widow Clancy. The plot and story are
intensely entertaining and the situa-
tions and climaxes uproariously
amusing.

weather of the Past Week Has Been I'm
sessonabIy Cold.
The Illinois crop bulletin for the
week ending April - says:
The first part of the past week was
moderately warm, but rainy weather
prevailed about the middle of the
week. and this was followed by unsea
sonably cold weather. Frosts &C.
CURED generally throughout the state,
and in the northern part the cold was
sufficiently intense to freeze the soil
to considerable depth. These condi-
tions have been unfavorable to the
termination and growth of vogeta-
zion, and in few localities positive
injury is feared to have resulted
Over the southern part of the state
rains have generally been heavy
enough to greatly retard farming OPP
erations, but in the northern part the
rains were lighter and scarcely inter
rupted farm work. In many parts of
the northern districts more rain is
needed. Wheat and rye are generally
reported to be in excellent c"ndi-
tion. though the growth is slow.
There is decreased apprehension
as to the effect of the Hessian
fly, though in few localities
the damage by this pest is reported
to have increased. Dat seeding is
almost finished throughout most of
the state, but unfavorab ole conditions
have delayed this work to large ex-
tent in some localities. In many
places the plant already shows above
the ground and is growing nicely.
1t is feared, however, in some locali-
ties that the seed is rotting in the
ground. Grasses continue to look
well. but the growth is slow because
of cold weather. There is some fear
of damage to young clover expressed.
Considerable work of preparing corn
ground has been accomplished, but
this work has not yet become gen
eral. Some early corn has been
planted in the southern part of the
state. Some gardening and potato
planting has been done, but unfavor-
able conditions have greatly retarded
this work. The fruit prospects gen.
orally continue excellent. but it is
feared that frosts have caused some
damage in a few localities, especially
to early fruits.'

As TO Terminal Changes.
Mr.. Hit had nothing of Importance
to say with reference TO the new de-
pot here or the contemplated removal
of the west division freight crews to
Moline. In fact, in answer to an in
inquiry regarding the latter matter,
he claimed that if change Uf the
freight terminals to Moline was under
consideration it was news to him.
However, another official gave it
out hat the change would be made
shortly, probably next Sunday. 1t
was further announced that the pas
senger terminals would remain in
Rock Island.
The first two of the new consign-
Ment of 23 400 10.wheel engine s
have been turned out of the Chicago
shops. These engines arc to be placed

Whether or not our latest national
war has tended to quicken in us the
willingness to- risk life in attempting
brave deeds which is more or less
characteristic of human nature every
where, newspaper readers cannot have
failed to note the number of rescues
from one peril or another which have
been reported of late. Accounts Of
recent hold ups indicate that 1t Is
still comparatively easy to terr!fy
men in the mass, and we occasionally
hear Of crowds looking on for lack of
initiative while men drown before their
eyes: but in greater number come
stories such as that of the courage of
young Fosburg in rushing upon the
murderers of his sister in the dark on
that tragic night in Pittsfield. and Of
the ck-wittedness of the Long
Island fireman who ran out to the cow
catcher of his locomotive and picked
up q little child who would otherwise
have been ground to death.
