LEW DoCKSTADER,


 Amusement lovers are alive with ex- pectancy and there is pretty good as- surance of large house when Lew Dockstader and his big minstrel conn pany open the local theatrical season this evening at Polls theater. Dock stader and his company emphasized ane fact last season that negro min strelsy was not dead. This form of entertainment is entirely an American feature, which has gradually drifted away from the ideas of the origina- tors. There was a time when the pub lie would stand for so called min. Strel show to appear in fancy dress, powdered wigs and painted faces, which was charming to look upon ; but this style having lost Its novelty is no longer pleasing, and, further more, theater goers now want Ameri- can nhinstrelsy that is true to negro life of plantation days and truly fea- gture of our own country. Knowing that the public desires this form of entertainment, MT Dockstader and his manager. James H. Decker, were the first to furnish the old time form of entertainments but with modern em- bellishments of a kind that enhances the effect. The gaudily bedecked cos tunes and white face minstrelsy has seen its day. Tn its place has come tAe merry darky, fun intermingled with up to date songs, dances and humor, and a scenic production far surpassing any, thing ever before seen in minstrelsy. There has been no cnange of prices From last season, 25, 90, 75 cents, $1 and $1.50.

FIBER TO DiSPLACE GLASS. Eastern Firm Has Unique Plan for Manufacture of Cheap
 Lamp Shades

Glass has long been used exclusively for the purpose of making lamp shades. but Massachusetts manufacturing firm has recently put a shade on the market in which the glass Is displaced by fiber, which is said to be effective and cheap. The shade is made from a fiber similar to that used for the lining of incandescent lamp sockets This is mottled green on the outside and pearl gray on the inside. The fiber is made of the same weight as aluminium and Is similar in appearance. It is finished under pressure, which gives 1t glossy surface and makes it good reflector of light. While it is so tough that the edges will not break. it is springy and will not crush out of shape

 For patent pole And chance to fish In tho fishing hole Where the graylings played Tn the days gone by, And the beech trees shade Shut out the sky Till twas just a gloom, Like the sun was down, And faint perfume; And the waters brown Lay just as still.
 Like they were asleep; Till my boyish skill Made the trout to leap. So got pole
 Just the other day And I sought the hole Where used to play: Twas a greenheart thing Of a slender size; Each foot a ring
 With it's patent eyes Held the line in place: At It's heavy heel With it's rubber case. Clicked nickel reel. And had flies
 Till you couldn't rest; With an exp ert's eyes I had sought the best; But not a bite

 But I'm free to say When was alone
 And the boy away had that string.
 The boy went hence With his enrolling
 And some fifteen cents. And then I hied To my own home, too; And no doubt lied
 Just the way you'd do. --J. M. Lewis, in Houston Post.
