Labadie's Faust.

Hubert Labadie's version of Faust,
that most celebrated tragedy i'm dramat-
lied form, was greatly enjoyed by the
large audience at the opera house last
Saturday night. The play was excellent
and when the good acting was supported
by special stage settings, electrical
effects, red fire, etc., il really heightened
the play to the highest pitch of ones
Imagination, and held the riveted atten-
ton of the audience all the time the
curtain was up.
Mr.. Labadie, himself, as Mephisto, car
rles out that part to perfection, and his
numerous references to the social order
of things of today were well put. Miss
Mary Van Tromp, as Marguerite, was
the best actress on our local stage i'm
many years. She was perfect Margue-
rite, and certainly deserved little better
support from Faust.
The company deserves deal of credit
for the excellent manner i'm which they
set this play on such small stage. They
carry lot of special scenery specially
adapted for small and medium sized
stages. From here they went to Day
tOna, where they played Monday night.
At that place they take a weeks vaca-
ton before proceeding on tour through
the north. The expense of ten people
with special scenery does not allow OF
much profit travelling through small
towns like i'll South Florida, although
they We're quite well pleased with the
patronage they received here and at

Farmers Institutes.
Editor of The Florida Star.

Editor of The Florida Star
Dear Sir-You are doubtless aware that
for the past three years the department
of agriculture of the Florida Agricultural
college has conducted series of farmers
institutes in different parts of the coun-
ties. The chief object of these meetings
as set forth in the resolution of the board
of trustees was to render practical in
structiOn and assistance to the agricul-
turists of the state" Therefore the work,
TO the extent of about twenty institutes
annually, has been conducted without
regular financial support. The speakers
who have co-operated with the college
authorities have not only worked gratis,
but have betrayed their own contingent
expenses. The railroads have been lib
eral i'm promoting the work by furnishing
transportation free.
The last state legislature, recognizin g
the value of the results accomplished and
the opportunity for greater good, appro-
priated twenty-five hundred dollars for
maintaining the work during each of the
two ensuing years. With this provision
it will be possible to materially increase
the number of workers and to include
every county in the list of benefciaries.
Under the present plan your county is
entitled to the benefits of the farmers
institute, with the best practical speak
ers and instructors the state contains, all
of the expenses of which are provided
for. No state which has ever once begun
this work has ever discontinued it. No
l.. III -. f.
one institute but has demanded more
The improved condition of agriculture in
our state, and its present prosperity, are
largely the results of these institutes.
Talk the matter over with your neigh
bors and then write to the undersigned
for full instructions on: "How to Have
