Many Mysterious Deaths.

stelnation spread throughout the Gao
bage belt. A general discussion of the al
fair brought 10 light the fact that num-
Der OF people have recently died In White

causes, and each death has occurred
after cabbage had been eaten.
A man BY the name of Dyer brought
one of the little things TO Gainesville

attention to the fact that engraving as, it was a generation ago is becoming a lost art in this country and soon will be so in the older countries Of the world, where there is less haste to &C., cept modern inventions.
 Most persons are familiar with the fact that most of the engraving Of to- day is done by photography and chem istry. The task that would formerly have taken a man several days-per- haps several Weeks-is now done better by photography and chemicals in a few hours. To make the point clearer, in the ordinary Sunday issue of the ln- quirer there is an immense amount or work on illustrations, viewed even from the modem standpoint. IT thls work had been attempted twenty years ago it would have been practically im- possible of execution owing to the lack of facilities, or time and printing press es. But supposing that it had been de- sired to get out such a newspaper ae- cording to the old hand methods, the cost of preparing the illustrations alone would have run up into many thou sands of dollars.
 For generations the engraver of all sorts was man of the highest art, and one who constantly commanded good wages If he worked in steel he could use his eyes but a few hours day, if in cutting type but a few hours a week, though that art has now been displaced by machinery. Wood cuts used to be in demand by newspapers and magazines, but they are now be- coming curiosities. In fact, the only engravers of a fine quality who are needed are those in the manufacture of plates for printing bonds and notes and the like, and even in these cases ma chimes do a great deal of the work. A few years ago one of the big engraving companies of this country was so alarmed at the loss of engravers by new methods that it started school for them and kept the men busy on copying tre old masters when commer- cial work was not in hand.
 There will neveh come time when machinery will entirely displace hand work, particularly in the fine arts. There is always need of real artists, but these seem to be born and not made. The fact that application is made for the importation of engrayers is commentary on the development of the mechanic arts in few years, dur ing which practically all the progress has been made in speed and cheapness since the day of Albrecht Durer.-Phil- ade1nhia Tnuuirer

ENTERTAINMENTS. s.
Grand Opera House.

''UncIe Toms Cabin'' will be eontin- ued to be presented to the American public so long as the world stands, and the rising generations will continue to generously patronize this now famous play. Stetson's big double Uncle Toms Cabin company, which enjoys a repu- tation second to none, opened three nights engagement at the Grand opera house last night. There was a crowded house as customary. and all witnessed one os the best productions of this dranlatization of Harriett Beecher Stowe's novel ever given in this city. The company is one of exceptional mer- 1t, well balanced and the affecting scenes, the death of little Eva, the pun ishment of the negroes and the death of Uncle Tom brought tears to many eyes while Eliza's flight across the ice and her rescue brought forth uproarous ap- plause.
 Between the acts numerous special ties were introduced by the male and fe- male quartets, the buck and wing danc- ing and singing of plantation songs by several members of the company.
 The play is concluded by a series Of beautiful tableaux representing various scenes depicted.
 'Uncle Toms Cabin' will be repeated tonight and tomorrow night with Sat- urday matinee.
