AMUSE M ENTS.
"The Evil Eye"

Yale & Ellis 1.-THE Evil Eye" drew
a small audience at the Opera house,
Saturday evening. The piece is one
of those extravagant strings of nom
sense, mirth and music that delights
the weary and jaded, who go to be
rested and refreshed. 1t is a burlesque,
and a good one, but the spectator is
left in doubt as to whether the subject
of it's satire is Tannhauser Trilby or
something else. The chorus and the
soloists know something about singing,
the acrobats are genuine, the scenery
is all special and novel; being filled
with such mechanical effects as 20
foot windmill in motion, a revolving
room, trap doors, etc. The electrical eff
fects are worthy of special mention,
"evil eye" being one of them, and the
electrical ballet another one, delightful
in it's witchery on the darkened stage.

STITCH IN TIME.
Hot Blaze Averted, Saturday, by Quick
Work of Fremen.

What might have been a serious
blaze, Saturday forenoon, was averted
by the prompt action of the firemen.
The alarm was run in at $40 from
box 80, and was due to the discovery
of brisk fire in a pile of straw and
rubbish close to the rear of the two
story frame building on upper Water
street, owned by the Barber heirs.
The building is double tenement.
In the north half the street floor is oc-
cupied by Geo. Dionne, who carries
mixed stock of tinware, crockery and
furniture, etc, while the second floor
is used as a dwelling by Mrs. Quill
lette. There is also a barber shop in
the north half operated by Tail Thibo-
deaux. In the south half A. S.
Cyr has a bicycle store on the first
floor, and lives overhead. The fire was
under the north half. At the rear of
the building, on the street floor,
there is a platform built out, and as
this was Uttered with straw and bro
ken boxes, the flames from below
quickly ignited the materials on the
platform, and as a brisk wind was
blowing down the river, it looked for
few moments as if the firemen would
have their hands full.
However, the Atlantic hose was
quickly on the scene, and while the
blaze on the platform was killed by the
chemical extinguishers,, a line of hose
was laid around to the rear of the
building. and the fire drowned out at
that point. The horses of Cushnoc
hose We're attached ,atp the sprinkler,
and at the time of the fire were up by
the cotton mills, but were driven quick
ly to the house and soon returned
with the wagon. The cause of the fire
is unknown. and the damage to the
building slight, and covered by insur-
ance in Downing's agency. The "all

Letter to J. r. Gould.
A u0usta, Maine.

Dear Sir: Here's what wears long
er" means.
d. Z. McGown. Cooperstown, N. Y,
built a house in 'S5 and painted Devoe
The paint lasted ten years.
A year or two later, a neighbor built
house and painted it lead and oil.
The neighbours house was repainted
twice in the same time.
This looks as if the neighbours house
was painted three times in eight or
nine years, and McGown's once in ten
years. We are not quite sure-we tell
the tale as it comes to us.
1t is enough to say that Devoe Lead
and Zinc lasts twice as long as lead
and oil alone. The reason is: white
lead is soft and chalks off; zinc is
hard; and, when thoroughly ground
into the lead, prevents it's chalking and
makes it more durable.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvOE & co.
New York
P. S. J. H. cogan & Co. sell our
paint.

SAYS SELL COTTON FOR FUTURE DELIVERY
Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens the
Georgia Very Large Crop May Be Raised and
Prices May Down. The Condition of Crops.

"The price of cotton in New York on
the 18th of May was l2t cents. The
November and December cotton sold
at cents pound, but now that it is
out of the farmers hands the price
has gone up. II farmers should now
have an opportunity to dispose of the
coming crop for future delivery at 81
cents it would probably pay them to
sell at that price, for, although the
season is backward, there may yet be
a good crop, and if a very large one
prices may go down.
1.-THE middle and south Georgia SUI
gar cane is for the most part doing
we'll.
"In north Georgia peaches are re-
ported as scarce: in middle Georgia
from slight crop to so per cent, while
apples are reported to be plentiful in
both sections.
Strawberries are of superior size
and flavor, and our home markets are
full of them at 10 cents quart, while
many truck farms are sending thou
sands of crates to the north and west.
"As they are exhausted dewberries,
black berries and raspberries will come
in. Georgia, already renowned for
peaches and melons, is coming to the
front among the great berry states.
"The fact is, all kinds Of trucking do
we'll in Georgia, and no one need fear
any danger of overproduction.

LETTING LOOSE "LEPERS."
A New Horror Is Discovered in

ed. The suspected cases have been
examined by an expert, and all those
declared by bin to be free from the
disease will be allowed to go. An in
Yestigation of the leper settlement has
been ordered so that the non-lepers
may be given their freedom.
Leading leprologists who have visit
ed that place have noticed the fact
that there are many persons there who
do not show any symptoms of leprosY.
After an investigation recently held
on the island Il persons were seen and
Is we're found entirely free from the

were some doubtful cases.

SUNS RAYS CAUSED FIRE.
Focused by a Window Pane They
Burn a Barn.

DR.. H. n. Adsit of Succasunna, n.
j., thinks he has found out how the fire
that destroyed his fne new barn last
Sunday started. In going over the
ruins he came across some pieces OF
glass from the window that was in the
loft. He was struck by the peculiar
appearance of one piece, as it was more
than ordinarily thick, being blemish
in the pane. He examined it and was
surprised to fn0 u formed magnify
ing glass.
DR.. Adsit at once put tae glass to a
test to see If it were possible to start a
fire with the lens, and found the suns
rays focused at about two feet from
the glass and lgnited paper in 10
seconds. The piece of glass was in
the west end of the barn and the fire
started at p. w., when the sun was in
the western sky. In view OF this fact
he has formed the theory that the sun
formed focus through this glass and
ignited the hay in the loft. The hay
had recently been piled near the win
dow, for the only time since the barn
was built.

IN his monthly talk to the farmers OF
the state Commissioner of Agriculture
Stevens says in part:
"This has been an unusually back
' ward season for our two staple crops.
The long continued wet weather de-
layed planting, and as consequence
caused much dependency among our
farmers. But nature as general rule
brings in compensation somewhere
and somehow. The backward seasons
will probably be followed by such con-
ditions that during the next two or
three months by intelligent, we'll d.
rected labor, assisted by improved
modern machinery, all disadvantages
may he overcome and Georgia retain
her high rank as a corn and cotton
state.
"The present conditions are about as
follows:
sin the counties of north Georgia
cotton planting is well advanced, and
in some of them about completed; in
some of the more southern counties of
the northern belt the cotton is coming
up and doing fairly we'll, although in
some places the stands are poor, owing
to continuous rains and cool weather.
In some places the early corn has
poor stands, in others it is doing fairly
well.
SIN middle Georgia there are COM
plants in many places that cotton is
being retarded by rain and cool nights
and want of sunshine, which is true
also of corn to some extent. At the
same time good stands of both are re-
ported in many places.
southern Georgia reports in some
counties cotton and corn both doing
we'll, others report cotton greatly re-
tarded, and much of it is being re-
planted
"Corn is generally reported in good
condition, though In some localities
much. damaged by bud and drill worms.
In both middle and southern Georgia
good reports are made concerning
sugar cane. Looking over the general
field, oats are doing fairly well, which
is for the most part true OF wheat
Both of these crops, however, are 10
sections suffering from rust.

While Miss HadIey is enjoying finan-
cial prosperity as result of her act,
she is also having her troubles. Sew
eral negroes have insulted her recent
ly, she says, and she has appealed to
the police for protection, saying that
negroes were in the habit of congre-
