VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 With such wonderfully lifelike and attractive picture of the Irish character in its genuine features as is furnished by Callahan and Mack in The Old Neighborhood" at the Jacques, it is little wonder that this weeks show has struck a popular chord in town. One can conceive of no character more true to the life than MT Callahan's inn personation of the aged Irishman who is living in the memories of his youth; as a stage classic it deserves to rank with Denman Thompson's creation of Uncle Joshp and Joseph Jefferson's re production of Rip Van Wrinkle" It is worth anyone's while to see 1t as show ing how the real Irish character ap- pears when truthfully portrayed on the stage. The rest of the show is very fine, too, with it's many excellent fea- lures of comedy and novelty. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10. Next week John l. Kearney and May Duryea in The Imposter."

aGIRLs WILL BE GIRLS.

t
 William A. Brady's production of Girls Will Be Girls is amusing a large audience at Poh's this afternoon, and it will be repeated this evening. The prettest song that has been heard here in many moons is "And That Lit tie Girl Is You,'' which is sung in this musical comedy, and were there no other in the piece this one alone would serve to make it success, as Tell Me-, Pretty Maiden" made "Floro- dora" And That Little Girl Is You" is not the only charming melody in the piece, for Waterbury already is whis- ting Ask Dodge "Abou Ben Ali" When the Girl You Love Says Yes" How -Q;Ee Do.' and two or three others of Joseph Hart's compositions R. Melville Bakers book is strikingly humorous, too, the story of the pro- lessor whose efforts to escape the re- sponsibility of attending a cock fight involves his best friends, being full of realized possibilities. Al Leech, as the professor, has placed himself on firm footing with judges of such matters as low comedy Representations. His ca pable support includes the Three Rose buds, Felix Haney. Edgar Foreman. Vera Rial and particularly selected chorus. Mir Brady's production, while simple in the extreme, Is in good taste and quite satisfies the eye. Prices are 25, 8, 50, 75 cents and $1.

THE PEAVEY SYSTEM OF GRAIN ELEVATORS|

The quarter century ending to-day
Minneapolis, but In no direction has
the city made more remarkable pro-
gress during this period than in the
development of the grain handling
business. In 1878 the grain business
of the city was confined almost en-
tirely to the operations of the Mime
apolis Millers' association. which
bought wheat exclusively for the -four
mills Since that time have been de-
veloped the present enormous terrni-
nal elevator capacity Of the city. the
great lines of country elevators owned
or controlled here, the Minneapolis
Chamber Of Commerce, which has sys-
tematized and organized the business,
and as q part of this commercial
structure. great business interests In
individual and corporate control.
1t seems quite In accordance with
the fitness Of things that. while be-
coming the greatest wheat market Of
the world and the greatest -four mill
ing point. Minneapolis should also
have become the home Of the largest
grain business under one management
and ownership. This is the business
of the firm Of r. H. Peavey & Co.,
which has grown up as a Minneapolis
institution. wholly within the past
quarter century. With its constitu-
ent companies this firm now controls
about 100000 bushels storage cap
acity, and handles annually from 49,
100000 to 1oo.ooo,oOo bushels Of
grain. This places 1t easily at the
head OF the grain handling concerns
Of the world.
The development of this great bust
mess would make a story. If it were
told In detail. quite as interesting as
any Of the modern commercial novels.
It would be the story Of a poor boy
winning his way in the west, rising by
sheer force Of will and achieving re-
m&rkab1e business success thru the
practice OF the highest business prin-
oiples and the possession Of excep-

on a substantial basis, he opened his
first offices in this city.
Progress was SO rapid that Mr.. Pea
vey moved to Minneapolis in 1884 and
from that time on took most promi-
nent part in building up the Minneap-
oils market. In the same year he ex-
tended his operations to all points on
the Minneapolis & st. Louis railroad.
From 1884 the history Of the business
Is one Of constant extension and ex-
pansion Of resources. Only a few not
able steps can be mentioned. The
year 1889 saw the building of the In
terror elevator at Minneapolis; and in
the same year Mr.. Peavey built great
elevator at Portland, Ore, and put up
thirty country houses on the lines of
the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company in Oregon and Washington.
This was the first great terminal ele-
vator on the Pacific coast.
During the next year he built the
Union Pacific elevator at Kansas City,
extended his operations to the lines of
the Union Pacific and leased ter
minal elevator at Omaha. In 1893 he
took in points on the Northern Pacific.
In 1894 he built the Republic elevator
at Minneapolis. and In 1897 acquired
the Belt Line elevator at West Supe-
rior. In 1898 the Peavey elevators at
South Chicago were built, and in 1898
the Peavey Duluth terminal house, at
Duluth, and the big elevator at Coun-
Gil Bluffs, and operations were in that

BOIL WEEv1L SITUATION.
Menace to the King Crop Of the South
eru States


From the Houston Post.
The people of Louisiana cannot be blamed
for taking alarm over the spread Of the
boil weevil and attempting to guard against
it's invasion of their cotton fields by es-
tablishing a quarantine against Texas seed
and seed products We have been sufficient
ly slow to fight this pest to cause our
neighbors to resort to harsh measures to
prevent 1t crossing over into their state.
The legislature was appealed to for assist
atce in the determination of this Mexican
notwithstanding insect upon its appear
ance in south Texas. The representatives
from that section did their best to impress
their colleagues with the danger of allow
ing 1t to gain fOothold In the state. They
furnished data and gave facts with regard
to Its tenacity, its peculiarities and its raw
ages They pleaded for an appropriation
Of money with which to fight and exter-
inmate it in time. But they pleaded In vain.
Ridicule was the portion of those who
first sought help from the state in the war
upon the boil weevil 1t was impossible to
make the people of central and northern
Texas believe that the insect which was
devastating the cotton fields of Dewitt and
neighboring counties was anything but a
temporary visitation. They were inclined
to doubt its destructiveness and discount
the stories told Of Its voracity. Time wore
on and the weevil extended the field of its
operations. It moved northward and
reached the Colorado river. Crops disap-
peared in it's path and hard times followed
in it's wake. Again the legislature was Inn
plOred to wake up and make a move to-
ward blocking it's further progress.
A little money was finally doled out with
grudging hand and with sneering remarks
anent the 'bugologists'' deputed to use 1t in
search of remedy for the weevil. But 1t
was too late.

From the New York Tribune


The King Of England has shown special
interest in the promotion of researches as
to the causes and the treatment of cancer,
and generous subscriptions have been made
for thorough Investigations and expert
ments. Every step forward for the relief
or mitigation of human sufferings from
this mysterious disease will be welcomed
eagerly. Cancer, advanced tuberculosis,
leprosy and rheumatism in it's worst forms
still battle the skill of the ablest doctors
in the world 1t is of interest to note, how
ever, that Prof. Hutchinson of England,
who has given many years Of exhaustive
study to the origin and development Of
leprosy. is now even more positive than
ever before in his conviction that the eat
ing of fish which has become putrid. or in
least in part spoiled, is prolific agency in
the increase of the number of lepers. He
sets forth arguments in support of his con-
tention which are SO plausible, at least,
that health officials all over the globe
ought to be persuaded to adopt the most
rigorous measures to prevent the sale and
consumption of sea food which Is in the
least degree tainted.

ever-Future Improvements.

Not a bit discouraged by the failure OF
Congress to provide appropriations for
more extensive improvements in the beau
ttful reservation, the authorities Of Rock
Creek Park are going ahead devlsing ways
and means of carrying out their plans to
make the park what it was intended to be
a pleasure ground for the people and ac-
ceSsible to all. For the current fiscal year
Congress provided more literally for the
park than for the past five years, taken
not separately, but collectively, and 1t is
the hope of the board of control that at the
coming session new interest will be taken
in this treasure land of natural beauties,
resulting in appropriations that will enable
the carrying out of the scheme of improve
ment north of the Military road. Inc point
where this thorOughfare now traverses the
park is the northern terminal of macadam
lied driveways, and although one of the
most interesting sections of the big tract
is found above this point 1t is little visited
by the general public.
But in the meantime, while waiting for
Congress to provide more literally in the
matter of funds, the park officials have not
been idle by any means, else many of the
permanent works of improvement now to
be found within the park boundaries would
be missing.
Every morning about o'clock travellers
down 14th street will meet from two to
three wagons filed with motley crews, all
dressed with a similarity that is particu-
larly striking. Their garments are late
effects in stripes. Broad and black, these
stripes have horizontal direction and al
ternate with strata of white. They are the
garb of the guilty, and their wearers are
members of the chain gang, committed for
various terms to the District workhouse.
1t is these men, under the intelligent di-
rection of Private ]. F. Amos, one of the
Oldest members of the metropolitan police
force, who are working daily in Rock Creek
Park, keeping it in cool shape and car
rying out schemes of improvement devised
at the District building. These men have
also done much in past years to help re-
