First In America

Just 152 years ago Monday the FIRST
theatrical play given in America was
presented . in William sburg, Va, as is
explained in the following:
SEPTEMBER 5, 1852.
The first play performed in America
by a regular company of comedians at
Williamsburg. then the capital OF Vir-
ginia. The piece was the Merchant of
Venice, and the afterpiece Lethe. writ
ten by Garrick. Thus Shakespeare had
the FIRST place, in time as in merit. as
the dramatist OF the western world. and
Garrick the honor Of attending on his
master. Lewis Hallam made his FIRST
appearance on any stage" at this per-
Torrance. He had one line to speak.

found himself in presence of the audience
he was panic-strieken;. he stood motion.
less and speeches., until bursting into
tears. he walked off the stage, making
a most inglorious exit. 1t is scarcely
necessary TO add that he was afterwards
the hero and favorite in tragedy and
comedy for nearly half century.

A CHARMING PAsTlME.
Bee Hunting Can BE Pursued Wher-
ever El0Mera GraM.

Bee Hunting Can BE Pursued Wher-
ever Flowers Grow.
Bird study as a fad Is beginning to
pail on the vacationist who has not the
true love Of the feathered folk, and a
new outdoor recreationis wanted. Some
bright young women who spent last
summer in a western Massachusetts
town, tired of hunting birds which
never are still, felt this need and sup
piled it, says the Housekeeper. They
turned bee hunters. Discovering a vet
r bee hunter and overcoming a fem
mime distrust of the little insect which
SO sharply resents interference with her
affairs, they were initiated in the art
Of lining bees, and thereafter every
tramp afield was with an object in
view.
Bee hunting possesses a charm pccul-
fairly it's own, and it can be practiced
wherever flowers grow. even within the
limits of the town. Yet, seemingly,
there are few who know this or are at
all aware of the stores of sweetness to
be had for the seeking.
The necessary outfit consists Of a box
three inches square and as many deep.
This is divided into an upper and lower
story by means Of a slide. The cover is
fitted with a glass window. In the
lower compartment is placed a piece of
comb filed with a sirup of sugar and
water. The slide is pushed into place
and the nearest posy bed or clover
patch is sought. With the box in one
hand and cover in the other it is an
easy matter to trap a honeybee busy
robbing the fiowerfof it's sweets. Watch
ing her through the glass window, the
moment she quiets down the slide Is
gently drawn. 1t does not take the bee
long to discover the strip, and she at
once begins to load up with this treas
ure.
The box is now placed on a post and
a sharp watch maintained. Presently
the bee is stated, and, circling for her
bearings, starts straight for the hive or
tree. When she comes back-for she
will surely return-she will bring an
other with her, and in turn this n
will bring a third, and SO on until a
line is established. Then while one or
more fill with the strip the cover is re-
placed and the box carried forward
along the line Of fight. From the
stopping point a new line will be start
ed, MS before. Thus in time will the
bees be led straight to their home.

A Curious Epidemic.

A curious incident occurred in the
home Of q Concord IN. H. business
man recently. Arising n morning the
head Of the house looked at his watch
to note the time and found that it had
stopped. The handspring had broken.
He substituted his old silver watch,
which he had just had cleaned and re-
paired. The next morning he looked at
the silver watch only to find that it
had stopped at 12:42. The handspring
was broken. He then looked at his
wife's watch, and hers had stopped
ten minutes later, at 1852, and investi-
cation showed that the handspring was
broken. Amazed at this sequence of
accidents he asked the housegirl to
look at her watch and was told that
the handspring of hers had broken the
day before the spring of the first men,
toned watch broke. Thus the main
springs of four watches, all there were
in the house, had parted within the
period of thirty-six hours.

sau.nees Made Of Lions Flesh.

SausGges Made of Lions F1esh.
Opposite a fat occupied by a lawyer
in Paris lived a dealer in stuffed birds
and animals. The operations connected
with the latter business were carried
on in the courtyard intervening. So
long as dogs, cats, cockatoos and other
small creatures were manipulated the
lawyer did not so much mind, but
when the dealer started stufing a lion
he brought an action. Defendant de-
MED ever having operated on the king
Of beasts in the courtyard at all. But
the lawyer brought witnesses, one Of
whom, a pork butcher, swore that the
dealer certainly had stuffed a lion, and
that he (witness) had used the meat
of the animal for making Lyons sau-
sages." The court then decided for the
plaintiff. No proceedings appear to
have been instituted against the pork
butcher.-Paris. Letter in London Tele-

STATE LAND OFFICE RECEIPTS
BREAK THE RECORD.
AUGUST BUSINESS GOOD
Sale Of Timber Land Greatly SweIled
Inconsistency Paid Treasurer
by Other Departments.

Last Wednesday was the end OF
the third quarter of Montana's fiscal
year and the usual remittances were
made to the State treasurer by those
state officials to whom public moneys
are paid. The total turned over by
them amounted to a little less than
$4,000, OF which sun in excess OF
$61,O 600 was paid in by the state land
Office for the last half of the month of
August.
State Land Register John P. Schmit
paid into the treasury in exact figures
SCI, 2O8. AZ, which ran the total receipts
of his Office for August up to $77,-
923.14 and thus broke all previous
records for one months receipts in the
land Office.
The Offices receipts were e%xtraordi-
narily large because of the fact that
nearly $4,000 was received from the
sale of timber lands. The receipts
for August of last year aggregated
$44,815.99, so that the total for August
Of 1904 is $33, 1O7.15 in excess of the
receipts for the same month a year
ago.
Some Comparisons.
Receipts of the Office for the third
quarter of 1903 were $92, 594. 80, while
the receipts for the third quarter Of
the present year have been $147,-
s23.52, or $55,32s.6O more than those
of the same quarter a year ago.
To date the receipts for the fiscal
year foot up 1913, 799.41 as against
$3.50, 009.65 for nine months of 1903,
showing a difference of $43, 789.76 in

DonneIiy Plans Tie-Up Of Independent
Packing Plants.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-The strike order
of President Donnelly with regard to
the independent packing plants is to
apply only to those in Chicago and
st. Louis.
ut was President Donnelly's idea"
said a national official of the striking
butchers, "to tie up the Independent
plants and bring on a meat shortage
in order to awaken public interest
in the strike. This was opposed be-
cause it was felt that such action
would hurt us most by throwing our
men out of employment in large num-
bers. Conf1ning the order to Chicago
and st. Louis is not an effort to pro-
duce a meat famine, but is simply a
case of cooperation with the striking
meat handlers. Comparatively few
independent houses will be affected"
Not a bullock, hog nor sheep has
been driven out of the stockyards
since the order to the stockhandlers
went into force. A committee of live
stock owners and commission men
has waited upon Donnelly and request
ed permission to load cattle now in
the yards for shipment to the east.
The Chicago Hebrew Butchers asso
citation has arranged to quit the sale
of meat, commencing tomorrow. Many
rabbis support the action of the
butchers and an appeal is being
framed to the 10000 orthodox Jews
of Chicago to purchase no meat unit
the strike is ended.
