traction at the Academy of Music next Mon
day ni.ht
In The Wild Rose" Manager Lrdcrer has
Elected an elaborate revelation OF modern
~'agccraft to the continuous strain of not to-
bC-iorgotten melodies of Ludwig Englander.
II is described as being a compound bordering
on burleSque, filled to rcpletion with terse,
witty lines that are funny by reason of their
up-to-datcncss, a host of novel ideas. and
fragrant with many bright, catchy airs; all
made beautiful bv the grouping OF attractive
tcminity characteristic of the productions of
this manager.
THE Wild Rose has been cultivated bv
Manager George Lederer into its fullest
bloom for the past five months in New York.
This production comes here not only with
the prestige of a long run i'll Gotham. but also
with that of the SWEETEST society, as it was
selected as the piece de resistance of the most
notable fashionable event of Viewpoints pres
cnt season. and since The Vanderbilt prcscn-
tation it has been known as Fashions Fairest
Flower.
The company includes more than one hun
dred players, headed by Eddie Foy and Irene
Bentley, and including Albert Hart. Rose
Beaumont. Junie McCree, Carrie Perkins.
Evelyn Florence NeSbit, Louis LcIso, William
Wallace Black George Ali and many others
of like prominence.
II is the typical George w. Lcdcrcr enter

pictorial beauty in its material aspect. The
title part played by Miss Bentley, is that of
a well-born girl. stolen by GypscS in her
youth and reared in ignorance of her real
station. The leader of the GypSes desires to
marry her, but she is carried off by wander
ing fakr. who fools the Romantics into be

SUBSTITUTES FOR COAL.

The Citizens Permanent Relief Commit
tie of Blltimore has recently been max
ing thorough investigation as to the
best substitute to use for anthracite coal,
which, as everyone knows, is practically
unobtainable at any price. The invcSti-
CATION has covered soft coal, crushed
coke, oil, gas and wood. Soft coal can
be used i'll CRATES and cooking stoves as
we'll as many furnaces and heating stoves.
One ton of this fuel of good grade will
furnish about fifteen per cent. more heat
| than Il ton of anthracite, yet the supply
is unlimited and can be purchased for be-
tween 81 and So per ton. The chief oil
lection to it is the smoke and SCOT
With some little intelligence, crushed
coke makes an admirable substitute. 1t
is furnished i'll four sizes and produces no
smoke, gas, clinkers, smell or waste. 1t
can be used i'll any furnace or stove that
has been constructed for the use of hard
coal. 1t is much more in demand, but
like soft coal the supply can be much in
creased. 1t sells for about So per ton
The only objection to coke is its bulk, {
ton being about twice the size of ton o
ordinary coal
Oil seems to be the most popular sub
stitute. With small outfit for cooking
and heating stoves, and few instruc
tions from experts, it is Il cheap, safe fuc
and can be had i'll any quantity. Stove
can he purchased from 50 to So, and TIN
supply of oil can be obtained at almos
any grocery store. The cost of heatin:
and cooking with this fuel will not exceed
the cost of anthracite at So per ton
Wood is also an excellent substitute if i
can be obtained properly seasoned.
The strike still continues and there is IL,
: prospect of the end being reached any
, where i'll the near future. The operator
and the miners are holding strongly tt
their original ground and only time vii
tell what the outcome will be.
