1.-THE Two Orphans" at The Lyeeum.

Such plays as D'Ennery's THE Two
Orphans bear the same relation to the
stage that the pictures Of Vereshchagin
bear to art, D'Ennery Is neither a pho
tographer nor an inpressionist. He 1imns
his characters with daring and Skill He
excels in that very brutality which has
made the war pictures Of the famous Rus
sian notable; he leaves nothing to the
Imagination and hence his work appeals
not to the intellect but to the sympathies
Of his audience. Just why theater-goers
should delight to witness such scenes Of
brutishness as are depicted in 1.-THE Two
Orphans" is a problem to be solved only
by the psychologist; but that the. play
pleases it's prolonged success attests.
D'Ennery does not mince matters. He
never calls a spade an ace. He leaves
nothing undone to make plain to the audi
ence the villainy of his villains, nor the
purity of his heroines. In the opening act
Of 1.-THE Two Orphans he devotes much
time to an incident which has no direct
bearing upon the plot and which can serve
only to paint in blacker colors the deprav-
ity of Jacques. jacques domination over
The girl herself does not appear in the
later acts. of the play. Yet she Is intro
duced here to expose the utter worthless
ness, the abundant cruelty and malevo-
lence Of jacques character, something
that his subsequent actions would seem to
render unnecessary.
However, it is late in the day to enter
upon discussion Of the merits of D'En-
nery's best known play. 1.-THE Two Or
phans'' has been q. fixture upon the Ameri-
can stage for several decades. 1t turned
away several hundred from the Lyceuna
theater Sunday night and it flied the
house again last night Moreover, the Fer
ris company gives it very satisfactory
performance. Its production is notable.
| II for no other reason than because 1t
gives Lyceum patrons a chance to enjoy
the art Of w. II. Murdoch In other than
heavy role. Mr.. Murdoch is cast as
the crippled Pierre and he manages the
part with skill. His work in the final
scene last night set the. audience in a
veritable storm Of approval and proved
him to be d versatile player Of genuine
merit. r..- ..
Miss Grace Hayward plays Louise and

The Cincinnati Price Current calls at
tention to the endeavor Of the German
Emperor to open.a new career for the
potato. He believes that it may be made
to supplant coal. By the order Of En-
peror Wilhelm, the German navy is to
experiment with motors using potato al
cohol, and the War Department Of Ger
many is advertising for military auto
mobile employing potato alcohol. for fuel.
The potato has as a food ameliorated the
condition of man. Lately, however, it
has been accused, along with bread, as
producing i'll the human system condi-
tons favorable to the development of
rheumatism, which thrives, it is said, on
too much starch. However this may be,
those who have high regard for the po-
tato-and they are not few-will be
glad to see it recognized as of paramount
value for food.

W oos1 II, at II a8ec<, =, Too " "a a ai,fe
to be Used. az Once, for Fence Rails.
The best black walnut in the United
States is found in Indiana. Forty years
ago there could be found in this state a
crop of black walnut unequaled III guam
tity and quality: Today it is not to be
is the number of trees by any means so
numerous. Years ago the largest and
best trees were used for fence rails and
such common purposes. At that time it
had no particular commercial value. Be-
fore walnut came into general use, the
most of domestic furniture was Of cher-
ry: Walnut has now entirely superseded
this and all other woods. Fence rails
can be found today through Indiana that
were split more than half century ago,
and they are as SOUND now as then, save
the wear and tear. OF all hard woods
the walnut is most durable, save red &C.
dar, and possibly in the ground black To-
Gust would equal it.
Our walnut is comparatively gone. In
isolated parts of the country, where this
timber grows, there is yet some Of in
ferior quality, but to limited extent.
But the general black walnut growing
in the deep forest, in the rich lowlands,
in its primitive nature, is thing of the
past. The general supply must now be
gathered from the four quarters of the
earth to supply a demand that requires
a century for it's elimination, and it's cul-
mination witnesses the astounding spec
tacle of the almost entire extinction of
the valuable material.
Kentucky has quite good stock Of
black walnut, and much of that is very
inferior Oh account Of it's gray color and
tough, hard texture. Missouri also has
some of rather an inferior quality. West
ern Ohio and West Virginia is poor in
quality.
The whole stock of the states is not
equal to full demand for ten years to
come. Furniture manufacturers do not
now use it as lavishly as they did five
years ago. Other woods are substituted
when possible, and 1000 feet Of walnut
are made to 60 as far again as it did
few years ago.
Chicago uses annually in her different
branches Of manufacture, such as house,
school and Office furniture. also in finish
ing material, doors, holdings, counters,
etc, 14,5O0,O00 feet. Probably about
half of this is bought at the mills, and
does not go into the account of the deal
ers at all. Many of the largest manu-
facturers direct. or have interest in, mills
