Greeted With Applause.
AS on his previous appearance, Thurs
day night, M. Due was the star of the
performance. When he made his entrance
he was given perfect ovation. the audi
ence disregarding the chorus, which was
then being sung, in order to greet the
famous tenor. so great was the enthu-
siasm that even after the singer had ap-
preached the footlights the applause con-
tinued, and he was forced to bow his ac-
acknowledgements
His rendition of the role Of Arnold was
magnificent. His high notes are so beau
tiful, SO full of strength, and delivered
with such ease. that the audience yester-
day afternoon could not contain itself.
The duet in the first act between Will
lam Tell and Arnold was sung with all
the dramatic power and musical instinct
that two artists could give It. NJ. Due
sang the ever, recurring high C with as

and Walter in the secord act NJ Due
captivated the audience again, and, in
deed, throughout the entire opera he was
superb.

listen to. She read the part of Gioconda
with much dramatic fire.
In the role of L'Avengle Nine Berat
scored pronounced hit. The part is not
long, and does not run through the opera
but in the little work allotted to her the
pr1ma donna was very capable. Her only
solo of Importance occurred in the first
act, and Nine. Berat Interpreted it with
true feeling.
M. Bouxmann had few opportunities
to use his deep, resounding bass voice
The role of Alvice confined him to sew

of the features of last nights perform

the third act, proved so effective that it
was repeated. Mile. Stella Bossi was the
premiere.
Complete Triumph.
Though it would be hard to say lust
which opera in the repertoire is the best.
William Tell is unquestionably the most
popular, and its performance yesterday
afternoon was in the nature of a triumph.
With Due in the role of Arnold. Laya as
Jenny. Occellier as William Tell, and
Bouxmann the Walter, the opera was a
succession of brilliantly interpreted
scenes which called forth the most sin

Rossfnis work is a tower of majesty

Large Audiences-M. DUO Continues to
Win Admiration of Local Musicians.

"Gioconda,'' Ponchielli's great work,
formed the bill at the Lafayette Theatre
last night, when the French opera COM
pany gave one of the most delightful per-
formances ever witnessed in the Capital
City. The audience was much the same
as those which attended previous pre-
sentet:ors during the week. many social
lights being numbered among those who
occupied boxes and chairs.
From an artistic viewpoint there is
little adverse criticism to be offered. Vo-
cally the presentation was complete, and
the only faults TO be found could be
ascribed to the lack of dramatic training
among several of the principals and
chorus.
"Gioconda'' is said to have been the
sensation OF the New Orleans season, and

1y Julia Marlowe, and her beautiful voice
again charmed those who had heard her

The prima donna unfortunately had few
chances in the small role of Tells son,
but even in the minor part she was de-
lightful. Nine. Chambellan's romanza,
"Selva Opaco," was beautifully sung, and
the other parts were capably filed. The
famous overture to William Tell was
played between the first and second acts,
and gave the big orchestra splendid op-
portunities for fine work. The audience
demanded a portion of the overture
second time.
Notable Audience.
Owing to the great success with which
the company met last week 1t has been
concluded to keep them here for another
performance tomorrow night. when Mey-
erbeer's Lies Huguenots" will be given

prlncelx Naval Cadet.

The visit of Prince Henry of Prussia
to the United States naval academy
recalls the personality of another
prince who entered the academy as
cadet--Prince Peter of Orleans. who
was a member of the class of 1860
and was quite an interesting person
age. He was son of Louis Philippe.
The commandant at the academy made
the mistake of telling the cadets that
they were about to receive Bourbon
and that they should regard it as an
honor. The cadets regarded him as
one OF themselves. however. and for
fear that he might think differently
hazed him as no cadet had ever been
hazed before. He took 1t in a manly
way. and when, as an officer of high
rank in the navy of France he met
any of his tormentors in any part of
the world he was always ready to re-
turn good for evil by rendering every
attention to them. Since then, how
ever. different rule prevails at the
acadamy, and cadets from foreign
countries are never hazed. The class

An army surgeon recently returned
from service in the Philippines tells
new story. which is one OF the best
that has come from our new possess
sions. He says a soldier was serving
in a regiment whose colonel was very
much averse to leaving the comforts
Of city and who had pull enough to
get himself assigned to special duty in
Manila, which had caused his absence
from his regiment for several months.
In the meantime portion of that par
tieular command got into a mix-up
with some stray insurgents, and Incl.
dentally the soldier referred to had an
eye shot out. He put in some time In
the hospital, and when convalescent
was turned loose for a walk. AS he
strolled down the street he met
friend, who. seeing the bandage which
hid the cavity, asked him, What hap
pened to your eyer" The soldiers
other eye twinkled, and with true
"dougtboy" wit he replied; II wore
that eye out up-country looking for
that blooming colonel of mine on the
firing line"

From Farmers Review: The milk
men of Evansville, Indiana. have or
CARRIED an association for the advance
ment Of their interests. This sssocia-
ton, Of which ]. c. Wallenmeyer is
secretary, co-operates with the city
food inspector in securing better sani-
tary conditions on the farms OF its
members. Meetings are held regularly
at which prominent physicians of the
city have delivered lectures on the
requisites for healthful milk for infant
feeding and family use. Veterinarians
discuss the prevention and care Of dis
eases among dairy cows. At a recent
public meeting one session was given
to the discussion of those phases of the
subject which should interest the con-
sumers OF milk and cream. At the
second session, II. E. Van Norman, in
structor in dairying at Purdue Univer-
sity. lectured on selection and feeding
of the dairy COW. and care and hand
ling of milk for city trade. The edu-
cational feature of THIS association S
efforts is new one and cannot help
but improve the sanitary condition OF
milk delivered to city consumers. This
move is one that could be followed
with advantage by the milkmen of otn-
er cities.-W. c. Latta, Purdue Uni

pl.pn..l of Inferior Fruits.

From Farmers Review: In reply
to yours will say that it would be i'm
possible to give you any idea in the
way of figures as to what extent the
different varieties of fruit in Illinois.
Indiana and Michigan are disposed of
in the dried form, but as a guess, we
should say that perhaps rs per cent Of
the green fruits are either dried or
canned. The largest quantity of dried
fruit in the way of evaporated rasp-
berries and apples comes from New
York state. There are also a good
many berries and apples evaporated in
Michigan, and a good many apples
evaporated and sun dried in Indiana
and Illinois. The fruit that is dried
and canned is not first quality, II being
usually marketed green, and the Sec
ond and third quality are canned and
dried. This refers to apples more than
berries, as berries, that is strawberries.
raspberries and blackberries must be
of good quality to go into the can, al
though of course. they are not selected
as closely as they would be IL they
were put on the market in the green
state, and take for instance, apples,
IL they could not dry and can this

they would probably have to throw
them away, as they could not be put

We have recently received several
complaints from shepherds to the eff
feet that their lambs come weak, sea-
son after season, and are again show
ing similar and even worse symptoms
this year. They say that the lambs
can scarcely stapd when born, and
even although they try to suck 1t
seems difficult undertaking and they
fail to derive strength from the nour-
ishment taken. Invariably is added
the fact that the ewes have been fed
apparently well upon coarse folders,
such as clover hay, timothy hay, corn
fodder, wheat or oat straw. This is
one OF the explanations of the trouble.
1t has been noticed that unless ewes

become constipated and In this condi.
ton there is either trouble at Landing
time or weakness among the lambs.
The weakness is due to the fact that
the ewes merely manage to derive per-
sonal nourishment from the food given
but an insufficiency of surplus from

the same connection that many OF the
lambs come into the world showing
engagements of the glands OF the

trouble that always indicates debil-
ity and lack of uterine nourishment.
1t also bespeaks lack of mineral mat
tiers in the food of the ewes and in
the milk first flIrnished-a lack of
such salts as lime and phosphate
minerals which are always freely i'm
parted to the blood circulation in bran
and other grain foods of the nitrog-
enous class. In addition to the ag-
gravating causes of weakness in
lambs may be mentioned in-and-in
breeding, or too seldom changes OF
breeding stock. The ram is used year
after year, and at last there is too
close connection in mating, with the
result of loss OF vitality, constitution
and strength OF bone. To prevent
weak lambs from troubling in the
flock the follosing measures conse-
quently become necessary: Use of
new rams of strong constitution and,
IL possible, from higher altitude;
and generous feeding OF concentrates
to ewes before and after service and
during pregnancy.

Some Good Adv,e. ON swine.


J. w. Boles: The first few days
after SOW farrows she should have
but little food. Very rich food will
scour the pigs. save more pigs far
rowed in the spring that do those
narrowed in the fall. A lot and house
for each sow are necessary for best
results. After pigs are old enough to
eat slop, composed of bran and ship
stuff and little oil meal. different lit
tiers may be turned together. For best
growth and development feed mostly
soft food with grass and clover and a
little corn. Equal parts Of bran and
ship stuff with very thin slop OF oil
meal is what use. Plenty OF wood
ashes. slaked lime. salt and charcoal
made from burning cobs or wood,
should be in their lots and pastures
all the time. Hogs will eat a great
deal of sand. Wheat straw is best for
bedding. Millet is good for grown
hogs, will keep them out OF the dust
better than anything else. 1t is not
best to have young pigs very fat. The
development OF bone and muscle is
the primary object OF the first six
months of pigs life. Overlooking i'm
pairs the health and usefulness OF the
pig very greatly. We should keep 1t
in thriving condition.

Pears also were injured, but not Sc

that bore heavy crop last year.
Plums. cherries. pears, splendid pros

nearly all parts of the state by severe
cold in December. In few specially

Swine are by nature omnivorous
feeders. They eat flesh, heritage. ce-
reals, roots and fruits. Their food in
their natural state has good deal of
bulk. The bad results sometimes OBJ
tanned by feeders is due to forgetful-
ness of this fact. The salvation OF
pigs kept In confinement has been the
general impression that swill was pre-
eminently hog feed. This has given
bulk to an otherwise condensed ra-
ton. The pig has to large extent
been the victim of a wrong system OF
feeding. He has been too often con-
fined in small space and fed con-
densed ration. AS a result disease
and death have cut short the profits OF
the pig raisers. The feeding OF ra-
ton of cereals is not In keeping with
the natural requirements of the porcine
money-maker. 1t is not difficult mat
ter for the swine feeder to increase
greatly the bulk of food fed. Silage.
roots and vegetables can be fed in the
winter. If the farmer have not these,
he can feed clover hay. This should
be cut in a feed-cutter and soaked by
pouring boiling water over 1t. To this
may be added the meal or other con-
centrate that is to be fed.
