or less shrewd, that the heroine will
ultimately be impersonated in the the

whom Belasco has perpetually in mind
over and above all the other attrac-
tions and undertakings in his con-
troll.
To Kyrle Bellew. whose season IN
"Rafles, the Amateur Cracksman,"
comes to an end with the current week,
belongs the credit of having had the
longest New York run of any star
player this year. He has appeared as
Raff1es for just twenty-one weeks, and
there is no doubt that he might con-
tinue indefinitely but for arrangements
conflicting with that condition.
A feature Of the Great Barnum-
Bailey Circus this season-far larger
and more gorgeous than any of its pre-
decessors-is a representation of the
Durbar of India, participated in by a
large number of men, women, chill
dren, horses and elephants, all in bril-
liant trappings. But this representa-
ton, massive as it is, considering the
fact that it must be transported from
place to place, will hardly compare
with the reproduction of the original
spectacle at Luna Park, where a sim
gle feature of the show will be a herd
of sixty elephants-more than any 9TH
er two herds in America put together.
In all the other departments of the
Durbar a similar munificence has been
observed by the Messrs. Thompson &
Dundy, assuring the fact that their
Indian ceremonial will be quite the
biggest thing of the kind.

! IN NEW YORK THEATERS

New York, March 26-There are in
dications that the management of the
new all-star cast of THE Two Or
phans," which begins it's engagement
next Monday night at the New Amster-
dam Theater, will know it has "been
to the races" before the season has
advanced to it's completion. Nearly,
if not quite all, the members of this
remarkable organization have their
own press agents working for them
individually, each with the idea of see
ing to it that his principal doesn't
fall into a secondary place in the pro-
cess of literary boosting. Besides, the
representatives of several of the stars
have already bought up small blocks
of seats for the first night, scattered
over the various parts of the spacious
auditorium, and there will be a series
of vehement receptions" as the lead
ing performers, each in turn, come
forward upon the scene, all calculated
to make the occasion one long to be
remembered among the unsophisticat-
ed, who look upon all expressions of
applause in theaters as marks of genu-
inc and general approval. Under these

Lynchburg, Virginia.

Over among the pine clad hills of the
old dominion, where the clay runs RED
in the rainy days of spring time
nesting among the shadows of the
Blue Ridge, lies Lynchburg, the City
of Hills. 1t has been there a long
time, gradually adding to itself and
growing in greatness. Many years ago
it was the end of the road to the river
side, where an old nam, named Lynch,
hoary as Sharon, ferried the travellers
to the country beyond. 1t would seem
to the casual wayfarer location inn
possible of development and yet as II
in open defiance of natural condi-
tionS, it has come to assume propor-
tions that are amazing, even in this
advanced age of industrial evolution
Tracing its history back to the founda-
tion period when old man Lynch, who
is said to have laid violent hands on
petty offenders and administered cor
poral punishment on bare bodies, back
ed by an authority which was law
only unto himself, thereby establish
ing for himself the distinction of be-
ing the patron of what has now rami-
fled itself into the present Lynch law
this community has set its seal OF dis
approval on all lawlessness and has
attracted to its environs long set
tied society that gives it charm
that impresses all who come within
the range of it's influence.
In the country contiguous to this
place a luscious weed grew in great
abundance and up to recent years its
famous brands of tobacco gave it a
worldwide reputation while the ne
groes who manipulated the raw ma
terial into the chewable conditions
made merry music as they sang with
delightful melody over their daily
tasks. Railroads came as railroads
will, and they seemed to center at
this spot. Then there was suddenly
something ominous heard and the quiet,

her eggs, for during the year her av-
erage was 20 $40 cents a dozen.
Scarcity of eggs does not explain
high prices always, for Montana leads
eleven other states in egg production,
and yet got the second highest aver
age price, 20 clio cents a dozen.
Eggs were cheapest in Texas, where
they cost 7-10 cents dozen on an
average.
A Puzzle for Egg Eaters.
And now comes a puzzle for the
housewife.
Uncle Sam has figured out exactly
what the average price a dozen has
been for a year, and he finds that it
was IL 15-100 cents a dozen. Then why,
oh, why, are eggs so high when you
buy them to eat?
Uncle Sam and all his men respect
fully decline to answer. The Census
Bureau and the Treasury Department
and the Secretary of the Interior all
give it up.
And now to wind up the big wonder
story of the American hen and her
true blue American egg, here is lit
tie wonder story. 1t is about Alaska
The census man went into Alaska
and found all the hens. 1t was hard
job to find them, but not a bit hard
to count the total; for there were on
ly 176 fowls in all Alaska on June l,
1900.
1 man could have put all the hens
of that country into a cart and carried
them with ease. Their combined value
was $780, But that little pocket edi-
tion of hennery, with its little toy shop
capital, produced a total income in one
year of $539-$36o for eggs and $179
for chickens.
Eggs were high there. They aver
aged 43 cents a dozen. The chickens
that were Matched and sold averaged
$1.01 each. 1t was a nice little busi-
ness, beating most banks in point of
percentage on income.
The rabbit is the great Easter beast
of poets and artists, but the American
hen has made good her claim to be
considered the Easter bird of the
world.

PLAYED THREE PARTS
IN SAME SHOW.

While "The Man From Missouri"
was playing in Minneapolis Tim Muir
ply was confronted with the alterna-
tive of supporting himself in two mi

not close.
The curtain was held for twenty
minutes while Murphy held lighting
rehearsal. He cut out one scene, re-
arranged two others. and then he went
on and played the two bits in addition
to the star part. 1t is recorded that
the audience never knew the difference,

bined value of the poultry and eggs
of the United States in the year past.
Since America was discovered,
there have been only two years-1S9S
and 1S99-when the poultry and the
poultry products fell below the work
of all the mines of all the world COM
bined. In the former, the mines out
did the hen by almost $6,OOO,OOO. In
the latter year, a perfect wonder of a
year for gold and silver output, al
most twenty-six millions of dollars,
marked the excess over the value of
the poultry products.
OF course, the hen could pay for a
whole war with her peaceful industry
in year. More than that, she helped
to feed an army throughout one recent
bitter war that shook a continent. That
was in South Africa. Newspapers and
magazines and books were full of the
battles; bnt nobody mentioned that,
all the time, the chickens of Missouri
were feeding the British army where
it lay in battle array. They fed it
with crystalized eggs, and the more

And yet the state of Missouri holds
only sixth place among the American
states in point of egg production.
Ohia is first in them. Missouri leads
in chickens, and Ohio has to take third
place in that respect.
Ohio's leadership in eggs is in point

dozens, Iowa is the leader of them
all; but she holds only second place
in number of chickens owned.

Benevolent Association have arranged
for an entertainment of magic and
sleight-of-hand, lasting two hours.
THE Wizard of o." which is cred
lted with being a record-breaking
achievement in extravaganza will be
seen here Tuesday night. Although
the spectacle is based upon a fairy
tale, it is said to have more conference
of fanciful story than most light pro-
ductions of its class.
The first act in five scenes shows
the home, of Dorothy in sun-kissed
Kansas. Then occurs the realistic cy-
clone, made vivid by light effects on
gauze curtains, during which all the
principal characters are carried away
to fairyland, or the land of the Munch-
kins, where live a gayly and taste
fully costumed chorus, and a queen
who has everything her own way.
The third scene is road through the
forest at sunset, and the fourth dis
closes a poppy field in full bloom where
Dorothy and her friends are overcome
by the perfume of the deadly flowers,
but saved by their good protectress,
"The Witch of the North who calls
down upon the wicked flowers a blight.
Thereupon follows a transformation.
The poppies succumb to a heavy fall
of snow, and a reindeer team arrives
to rescue everybody.
The second act is in two scenes,
showing the gates of the Emerald City,
an aesthetic study in fashionable green,
and the courtyard of THE Wizards"
palace, where many of the diverting
specialties occur and much of the fun
is introduced.
The last act shows the domain of
the sorceress in dreamland, another
magnificent stage picture extending to
the extreme rear of the stage, painted
in rose color and Illuminated by
thousands of incandescents. The physi-
cal details of this production will, of
course, be heightened by the presence
