THE COUNTY CHAIRMAN.

As already announced. "The County Chairman with the original New York cast and production will be presented at Polls on Thursday evening, offering what may well be regarded as one of the most highly important engage ments of the entire season. The attrac- tion comes here almost direct from Wallack's, theater, New York. after a run of 312 nights. The cordial recep- ton given this play in New York has advertised it widely and it is heralded here without a dissenting voice. The comedy Is in George Ade's best vain, replete with wholesome humor and laughable episodes depicting life ill a rural community in the early eighties and its story is fashioned out of the incidents attendant upon country campaign, a soil which should be fer tile in laughs and which is said to have been most generously cultivated by the author The cast includes Maclyn Ar buckle, Earle Brown, Charles Fisher. Fred Book, Willis F. Sweatnam. Ed win Chapman. J. Sidney Macy, Fran ces Ring. Rose Beaudet Grace Fisher, Anna Buckley and others.

JAP MASTER AND MAN.
A Japanese Officer, in Lesiie's Month
 ly Magazine for December.

1t was in this melee of blood and sword that I saw d sight that touched ne deeply. l noticed two men in our. ranks; and later I found out that the younger of these men came from d well-to-do Samurai family; the older man was also from the same place. In fact the father of the older man had spent all his life in the service of the family from which the younger man came On this terrific day when: they were within few meters of the Russians, when they fought with rocks, swords and anything they could get hold of, I saw these men cling 10 each other closely. At the height of the bloody excitement the older seem ed to be mindful of the younger al- ways At one time few of the Rus. sians actually succeeded in rushing upon part of our lilie. One. of the. Russians raised the butt of his rife, about to strike the younger of these two men Then I saw the older swing forward and literally hurl down the Russian with the bayonet through his body. A little later the younger man was shot through the leg and fell. I saw the older man forget himself completely, foi'sake his gun, kneel down beside the young friend of his, and not finding piece of cloth. he tore the front of his shirt. He stun- ed little piece of cloth into the bull let-hole in the leg of his friend. Then, after little while. because of the fierceness of action about me, I lost sight of these men. NWhen l came up- on them a few minutes later. they were together, side by side. As passed I said to the older man, who was half standing. always covering his young master: "Can'tS you man. age to carry yourself to the rear with your friend-to the field hospital or to some other shelter behind the hilI?"
 .sOh. it is all right he answered. My young master is wounded little, but he will recover in q minute. 1 think. Then we shall get at the Rus sians again.
 I pointed to the ragged wound which Russian bullet had made lln- on his own. shoulder. "0h,' he said, :;that is a scratch Don't mind tliat.

AN ISLAND FOR RIFLE PRACTICE

One of the evidences that the patri- etic citizens throughout the country are seeonding the efforts of the nation al board for the promotion of rife practice to encourage the use of the military rifle and revolver, to the end that this country may have large reserve of trained marksmen, is found In the offer of William Elinger. q planter of Fox Island, Virginia, tender Ing that property to the navy depart ment for target practice, practically free Of charge. MT Elinger under- stood that the small vessels now as- sembled in Chesapeake Bay for prac- tfce would use small arms, and ten dered the island for that purpose. The practice is to be with large guns. and as there were no facilities on his place for their use. the department was obliged to decline the offer. It was very highly appreciated by the navy department as showing a most friendly spirit toward the service and q practi- cal illustration of a patriotic interest in fhe subject of rife practice.

RISE AND FALL OF INDIGO.
This Plant for a Time Was. Supplant-
 ed by the Product of Petroldum

This Plant for a Time Was. Supplant-
 ed by the Product of Petroleum.
 Modern science has so utilized one of the products of the coal fields as almost completely to put an end to. tie trading in two articles that once formed a very important part of the commerce of the United States. The best dye for blue was, of course, fur nished by the indigo plant. and it is even now used for the very finest Of fabrics, but the chemists and scient- ists were able to procure from the byproducts of petroleum an aniline dye which for almost all ordinary pur- poses has supplanted indigo The nat ural indigo dye being pushed aside by the commercial dye, which is capable of being chemically prepared, has practically killed the growing of the indigo plant. Science, however, is bound to protect those who are de pendent upon it for a livelihood. so that when what seems to have been the destruction of one industry through scientific discovery has been accomplished the chemists immediate ly produce some new methods that are of commercial advantage.
 For instance, the native dyers in the east have discovered that when natural indigo and the commercially prepared dye are mixed i'll equal pro- portions, the result of the mixture gives a more valuable and brighter dye than that which is afforded by the dye of the plant. so that, by req son of this discovery. what seemed to have been the inevitable ruin of the indigo culture has been averted. The discovery has greatly encouraged the growth of the indigo plant recently, and has saved that article in com merce.
 In noticing this recent discovery writer upon scier2ific subjects haSs said that the advance of science has never been shown in q more typical fashion than when. diving into the history of modern chemistry, we dis cover that many products formerly regarded as being capable of forma- ton by plants and animals alone have been successfully made in the labor atory of the chemists. This latter process is named in science "synthe-t tical chemistry" The expression practically implies that compounds are built up by the chemist artificially. Synthesis is thus opposite of analysis tho latter process being that of taking a product chemically to pieces by way of ascertaining it's new composition.- Chicago Chronicle.

ESCAPED FROM SING SING.

The luridly' nsational melodrama Escaped from Sing Sing, which is announced as the attraction for Polls this evening, is said to have as many amusing phases as it has thrillers.

The story concerns the machinations of an interruptions woman and her partner III crime, against the woman's -hus- oand young English farmer. it being made to appear that the young man is d foreer. by inducing him to do Il favor for his supposed friend. who in reality Is his wife's paramour. The young man, assuming various disguises fol- lows the guilty couple to America is finally incarcerated in Sing Sing makes heroic escape from the walls of that dread institution, and finally secures justice. The play is mounted with d wealth of scenic effects, and the cast includes that fine young actor. Fred erick Mantague, and Miss Blanche R. Rowland. Prices are 25, 35 and 50 cents.

AN INEFFICIENT FLEET.
Admiral Tchuchin's Report on Rus-
 sfa's Black Sea Ships.

Admiral Tchuchin'a Report on Rus-
 sia's Black Sea ships.
 The latest proof of demoralization and utter inefficiency of thew ussian navy is contained in a sensational report drawn up by Admiral Tchuchin, com. manding the Black sea fleet, wiel refer ence to the recent naval maneuvers port has caused painful sensation in official circles at St. Petersburg, says the correspondent of the London Ex- press.
 The admirafs verdict pronounced on his own fleet is crushing. He found that Russian naval officers were entire ly without love for their profession or interest ill their work. incompetence prevailed throughout the fleet. When maneuvering, ships were unable tc maintain their positions. The most ap- palling muddles occurred.
 Sometimes, when the ships of the fleet were supposed to be in close for nation, several would be found to be missing altogether. aud cruisers had to be detached to search for them. The signals from the flagship were either not understood or purposely disobeyed.
 Many officers, says the admiral, were found to be devoid of knowledge of the naval regulations. Admiral Tchuchin. mentions several cases in point. The extraordinary lack of discipline was illustrated one night during the ma neuvers by the remarkable behavior of torpedo boat No. 273. The fleet was steaming in company when the torpedo boat suddenly turned and disappeared The wrathful admiral dispatched q cruiser to look for the missing torpedo boat, and after a long search she was found ils the harbor of Yalta. The lieu tenant. in command and his brother of cers as well declared simply that they preferred spending the night in port rather than on the open sea.
 Two other torpedo boats left the fleet without the admirafs permission and were also found at Yalta. They were tired of executing revolutions at night, and the commanders expressed sur prise and indignation when they learned i'll somewhat forcible man her that the admiral was distinctly an moved
 On the fifth day of the maneuvers Admiral Tchuchin signaled to the fleet to perform certain eyolutions Ut speed not to exceed ten knots. Most of the battleships were unable to keep up even this speed and could not be ham, died with sufficient dexterity to partic- ipate in fleet drill, which proved to be an utter fiasce.
 The admiral concludes his report by saying that@.if the Black sea fleet ever has the misfortune to face the enemy it will be completely wiped out

 A syndicate of English capitalists is engaged in an endeavor to promote a market in the United States for the silks made chiefly from wood pulp. says the New York Press. This prod uct is principally obtained in South America, Paraguay furnishing large supply The vegetable silk has it's ori- gin in trees and is readily adaptable to native looms. The woven threads are supercalendered, which process pre- sents silky finish resembling mercer ized goods For several years past this glossy material has been sold In piece lengths to the upholstery trade, by which it is utilized for filling purposes. The selling test of artificial silk for cravats is anxiously awaited by New York manufacturers.
