Stuart Robson in "The Henrietta"

Stuart Robson in "The Henrietta"
 Stuart Robson's revival of "The Hen rietta,'' which he presents at the Jeff ferson Theatre next Tuesday. has proven the drawing card of the present dramatic season. To see MT. Robson in his imper sonation of .Bertie, the Lamb" has been a magnet that has drawn many theatre goers. Nearly every theatre patron knows of Mir. Robsons drollery in the part and is eager to laugh again at the perplex- ities and vagaries of "Bertie." It is an opportunity that has come only every few years, and this is the last time the public will see him in the character. MT. Robson has made many dollars from the play, and could perhaps make more from it, but declares he Is not on the stage simply to make money. He desires in the future to appear in new productions, and in characters with which he has never yet been Identified.

James o,NeIll.

A splendid scenic production, as well as a star cast, is promised at the Jeffer- son Theatre tomorrow night when Mr. James oNeill will be seen in Lieoler and Company's Monte Cristo. MT O'Neill has played the role of Edmond Dante for a number of years, and had almost decided to drop 1t from his repertoire He was persuaded, however, to appear In this elaborate revival of the great roman tic drama, the promise being given by his managers that he should be furnished by them with as fine a scenic production as had ever been seen on the American stage How well this promise was Kept can best be seen from the fact that the
 production, as it now stands ran TOT
 three months in New York and the bal
 ance of the season In Boston and Chi
 cago The production from scenic stand
 point is said to be worthy to rank along
 side those put on at the London Lyceum
 by Sir Henry Irving.
 One of the prettiest scenes in the play
 is that which represents the Harbor or
 Marscilles. The town people are gath
 cred on the quay, awaiting the nome
 com ing or tIumOnQ DdHttS. A NCboSi oeeiAD into the port. and the waters of the bay
 seem to shimmer and dance welcome
 It is the good ship Pharon, which brings
 Dantes home to love, matrimony and
 prison. The boat tacks about. and comes
 to anchor. resting easily at her moorings
 in full view of the audience. Another ship is shown in the second ace, during a
 terrific storm at sea. The lightning flashes
 from the banks of black clouds. and the
 sea is seen in all its fury. Dantes after
 his escape from the Chateau diff, Is seen
 swimming through the waves for little ocean rock As he gains this haven and utters the world famous speech, "The World is Mine" a thunderbolt flies into the sea at his feet and a pirate ship beating against the storm, rescues him from his perilous position. The snow covered Forest of Fontanebleu, where the Count of Monte Cristo fights his famous duel at daybreak, is said to be most hand some. MT. O'Neill's company includes Mir. Frederic De Beleville. whose experi- ence as character actor stands him in good stead in the part of Nortier; Miss Selene Johnson, leading woman of great ability. who is the Mercedes; Miss Kate Fletcher. well known character actress, who is the Carconte; James O'Neill Jr., Warren Conlan w. J. Dixon, Edward Ialiy, Mark Ellsworth, Claude Gilbert, | Joseph Slayter, Edgar Forrest and Re- becca Hook. A subsidiary company of | fifty people is employed.

Crimson Glover a Mortgage Litter.
W. r. M'spARRAN, LANCASTER CO., "a.
Thousands Of acres Of land in the
United States lie bare each fall and
winter that might be profitably
growing crimson clover BY SOW
ing 10 pounds of good seed to the
acre in standing corn during August
and narrowing well, a good stand
can usually be secured. The value
of the growing clover is much more
than the mere intrinsic worth Of
the crop. AS soon as the corn is
removed in the fall the clover makes
its start at growing, and is ready TO
take care Of the nitrates rs they are
created in the soil. It should be
remembered also that the clover
roots attack and use the minerals of
the soil much below the penetration
of the roots of ordinary grain crops.
This remote fertility is carried up
ward for root and top development,
and, therefore, within the province
of the less venturesone roots OF
the grains, after the clover has de
cayed. Besides this good perform
ance Of the clover, its well-known
ability for securing and storing the
free nitrogen Of the air Is in itself
sufiicieiJ to cause it to be much
more extensively grown.
Glover binds the soil and keeps II
from blowing and washing. Manure
can be put on the clover during the
fall and winter The manure stlm.
ulates more vigorous growth and
a better crop naturally results
Last spring l had large acreage Of
this clover and used it for soiling
ensilage, hay and for blowing down
l have now fine crops growing
where it occupied the land through
the winter and early spring.
1 have grown it successfully fol
about ten years, and am always
careful to get good seed and hav,
it well covered after sowing. Many
experiments with it are failures OF
account of too shallow covering ant
consequently insufficient inoistur,
to keep it growing. l have mad,
practical demonstrations of its util
ity for the purposes 1 have enumer
ated, but its most universal use is,
think, as green manure, in adding
humus.

IMPROVEMENT Of ROADS.

Though the act of 1899 relating to
supervisors making contracts for
taking away the loose stones from
the main. n.traveled highways at least
once a month from April to October
says they "shall annually" do so,
the condition of some Of the roads
would indicate that this has been
neglected this year. or those having
the contract have not fulfilled it.
The provision is a wise one and a
little care and almost trihing ex-
peDse would remove the loose stones
and make the roads much better
and more comfortable to drive or
wheel over. The repeated rains
this season no doubt have added to
the labor, but this is all the more
reason why the law should be faith
fully obeyed.

sueeulent Feed for Autumn.

]. II. SKINNER, IND. EXPER. STA.
The scarcity of pasturage on ac-
count of continued dry weather is
the cause of many inquiries ns to
what will furnish succulent food
during the fall months. The far
seeing farmer and stockmau have
this problem we'll worked out long
before this. having a field of second
growth clover, or by planting corn,
sorghum, rape, soy beans, cowpsas,
or some other such crop earlier in
the season when the soil contained
plenty of moisture. Their soiling
crops are now in condition to
Withstand ordinary drouth and will
be ready for use by the time the
oats and field peas are gone.
Those who have not given the
matter attention before this find the
pastures getting dry and brown and
are face to face with difficult
question, that of providing succu-
lent food for their stock during the
fall months. Where corn is grown
to any extent, it is doubtless the
best succulent food to supplement
the pasture. If the soil contains
enough moisture to germinate the
seed, piece of stubble can be thor
oughly lisked, rolled and narrowed
and sowed to soy beans or cowpeas,
which will make a good growth for
pasture during the fall. These
crops have been found to resist the
drouth very we'll and make good
pasture for livestock. Rye may be
sown also. This will furnish splen-
did fall pasture if we have sufficient
moisture in the soil, or rain enough
to germinate the seed and keep it
growing until it gets a start. Should
sufficient rain fall, plant Stowell's
evergreen corn, and this will make
an abundance of green feed before
frost comes.

Come to the fair at the M. e.

and enjoy some chicken salad, coffee
and rolls for 25c. Then you will have
plenty of time to look at our display
of fancy goods, etc. Any Of oui
friends who care to contribute articles
for the fair may leave them at the
parsonage. The date of holding the
fair has been changed from Aug. 8
to Aug. % for good and sufficient
reasons and this timely notice is
given that all may make ample
preparation to come and enjoy the
occasion.
The candy sale by the Epworth
League last evening netted over SO.
The topic for next Sabbath morning
is, ''The Meaning of Life" In the
evening we will begin the series of
the "Saints of the Bible" Moses
will be the first in the series.
We are glad to announce that one
week from next Sabbath morning
the Rev. w. r. Neff will occupy the
pulpit. His large number of friends
will be glad to this another chance to
hear him.
The outdoor meetings at Union are
well attended by the people of that
community. We would be glad to
see our friends from town at these
meetings.
The Epworth League convention
that has just closed at San Francisco
was towering success, judged by
the laws of conventions. The trip
across the continent was a delight to
those who had the privilege Of going.
The spirit of the convention was
high and beautiful, as witnessed by
the church critic, DIR. j. NJ. Buckley.
The western newspapers were ready
to give full space to the work of the
convention, and the reports of work
and addresses were very full and ex-
ceedingly accurate. 1t is the judg-
ment of the writer that if the church
continues to give opportunities for
travel and all other legitimate means
for improvement and pleasure to her
young people, that the pathway be-
fore her leads upward and onward to
nobler living and more exalted serv-
ing.
The harvest time is at hand. AS
we gather the produce that the
Heavenly Father has given us, lei
us remember that we have had tC
work together. with God to bring tn,
harvest. Is it not so in the world O
grace? Can we expect to have larg,
things in our religious life unless W,
work? 1t is a sin and a shame to Sc,
a farm neglected, all overgrown will
weeds. 1t is no less a shame to see
weedy religious life, with the fruit
of the spirit chOked and crowded GU
by the evils Of this present world.

OUR TOWN UNFORTUNATE.

For some weeks rumors of the ex-
istence of scarlet fever in town have
prevailed and not only resident
families but many city guests have
been anxious over the outcome of
the situation. The fact is that some
three or more weeks ago a family
from the city, in which there had
recently been scarlet fever came
here and took rooms in prominent
house. Soon after, one of the chill
dren fell i'll. The physician who
was called could not fully diagnose
the case and before the disease had
sufficiently developed to determine
it's character, in fact early the next
morning, the father, probably sur
missing the real trouble, with the
plea that he wished to consult his
family physician, took his family
back to his home. This, as subse-
quent events have proven, was no
doubt case of the fever. Since
then several cases have developed
and the doubt of immunity among
the guests and the uncertainty as
to who may have been exposed
created feeling of unrest and fear.
OF course, the real situation has
been aggravated by exaggerated
and wholly unfounded rumors, but
as there seemed no possible way to
allay the anxieties of his guests,
Mr.. Bournique, the Bluff House
proprietor, determined Wednesday
TO close his house for season end
80 announced to his guests. The
house in the meantime will be thor
oughly fumigated and disinfeoted in
every part and every means known
to science will be called in requisi.
tion TO completely stamp out every
germ of the disease. August Is this
house will reopen with the firm be
lief that there will be absolutely NJ
danger whatever in it of any conta
gion. This state of affairs is pecu
liarly unfortunate for our town anC
the loss to our citizens will be con
siderable while the annoyance anC
inconvenience to summer guests il
greatly TO be deplored. It is stu,
alton which no human foresight
could divert or energy avoid. Every
possible precaution against th'
spread of the disease has beer
promptly taken and the majority oi
people here fear no danger as il
shown by the number who wish t,
remain in town and who hav,
sought accommodations at othe
houses. That the danger. if it OK
listed to any extent, is now past
there is no serious doubt.
