ToSca." which is conceded to be the
best play which the French dramat-
list, Sardou. has yet given us, and
which comes to the Illinois Wednes-
day night. Made famous in this
country by Mr.. MacDowell and his
wife. the late Fanny Davenport. and
in Europe by Sarah Bernhardt, the
story of the play and its immense
success is well known. This season
the play comes to us with the same
magnificent MacDowelI in his IA

the cast in the person of Miss Flor

MacDowell little need he said, his

the most promising leading women
on the stage today. Possessed of
rare beauty, voice of singular
depth and withal as soft and musical
as that attributed to the Italian
singing girl whom she portrays, n
graceful and Sinuous carriage. she is
conceded by all those who have seen
her TO be a worthy successor to Miss
Davenport. The balance of the east
is the strongest seen in the play in
years. and the scenic effects and cos
tuning never eXcelled.

Magnificent Dolls.

Three dolls, representing different as
poets of Paris fashions, have been pre-
scented the three daughters Of the en-
press of Russia. the Grand Duchesses
Olga, Tatiana and Nenia. The dolls
were the gift of a famous Paris dress
maker. who lent all his skill to max
ing their attire beautiful and effective.
One doll is dressed for an evening par
ty in q gown of wheat colored mousse
line de sole, trimmed with lace of q
sage green shade. The mantle. is Of
beige colored cloth, lined throughout
with white satin. White embroidery
covers the lapels. A white gauze toque
adorned with feathers and diamonds
completes the costume. The second
doll is dressed as a yachtswoman, the
costume being made of white cloth. A
small sweater" and golf cape complete
the effect. For the third doll a dress
of the time of Louis Nv. was selected.
The gown is made of white satin, with
garlands of flowers festooned around
the bottom Of the skirt by combina-
lions of ribbon. On the corsage flow
ers are attached by velvet bows, and
mechlin lace gives an airy effect to the
costume. A large picture hat is gar
landed with ponpcn roses. and the
flower effect is cal'rirt. out wen to the
white leather shoes, which lave tiny
bouquets attached instead of jeweled
buckles.

CHINESE OFFICIALS MAKE RE.
QUEST OF MINISTER'S.
KEEP SOLDIERS OFF STREET
Foreigners Dissatisfied With Action of
Ministers-Event Should Be
Ignored.

Pekin. Jan. 6.-Chinese officials have
requested the ministers of the powers
to keep the legations guards within
their quarters tomorrow in order to
prevent the possibility of a collision
between the Chinese and foreign
troops on the occasion of the courts
return to Pekin. The ministers will
comply.
The families of the foreign diplo-
mats will occupy the building which
the Chinese government has rendered
them for the purpose Of reviewing the
parade. There is much criticism of
this course among the foreigners who
are not satisfied with the fact that
he-I are Lto-Jremain
in the legs lions. They believe that
the event should be completely ignor-
ed. They say that the presence of
any members of the legation will be
construed as a sort OF homage to the
court and will be thus proclaimed
among tho peop-e. The foreigners
are divided into two factions con
corning the future relations of the
diplomats with the court, n holding
that the negotiations should be limited
to the fulfillmert Of the most formal,
obligatory ceremonies and the other
holding that in official and social re-
lations the ministers should endeav-
or to be more intimate with the court
than formerly and should meet all
Chinese advances in the most friedly
spirit. Many foreign soldiers and a
few officers today violated the govern
ment's request to keep off the streets,
which have been cleaned and decorat-
ed for the royal procession. This is
likely to create resentment.
Railroad traffic between Pekin and
Pao-Ting-Fu, except on the courts bus
ness has been congested since the ar
rival of the court at Pao-Ting-Fu.
Special trains, for two days past, have
been bringing the courts baggage
here. Official business monopolized
the telegraph liens and the postal SER
vice to Pao-Ting-Fu.

FARMING
Fifty Horsepower Engines ON south.

Fifty Horsepower Engines ON South.
ern California WheatfleIds.
Farming is conducted upon q large
and economic scale in many portions
of southern California, writes the spe-
cial correspondent of the New York
Post from Los Angeles. In no locality
has modern steam farming machinery
been applied with such effectiveness
as upon the grain ranches in southern
California. On one ranch the engine
used to draw the machinery is of fifty
horsepower and has drivewheels eight
feet high. 1t twelve barrels
of oil every day, and it's operation re-
quires the services of seven men. In
blowing ffty-fve burrows are turned
" at n time, covering a breadth Of
forty feet. Eight horses r needed to
keep the machine supplied with water
and fuel. The best record made SO
far in blowing is seventy-five acres in
four hours and forty-fve minutes. The
field was five miles around, giving the
great engine a straightaway course,
with few turns, in making the record.
In operating this plow to the best adj
vantage a water station is maintained
at one corner of the field, from which
the engine is supplied as needed. The
average capacity of the machine is the
blowing Of 40 acres per day.
The use of this machine is not an ex-
pertinent. Last year 5000 acres were
harvested by it. On a ranch Of 1000
acres it is an economic investment, but
a smaller acreage would not warrant
the outlay. Last aso a combined
harvester was drawn by the engine
and averaged over 1000 acres of wheat
in a day, cutting, %thrashing and sack
ing the crop. One of these great field
engines is at work this season near
Covina, displacing seventy mules.
