produce novelty after novelty There
We're ridings and hunting attended with
enchanted music which spake out of trees
and hedges; unexpected meetings in the
woods with fauns and savage men, who
discoursed elegant allegory; fitting in the
tiltyard and graceful dancing of lords
and ladies in the presence. There, were
feats of agility, mock fights and bear
batting by day, and masques in the hall
and fireworks on the lake at night" and
lots of other things that Felix E. Scheling
in The Queens Progress and Other Eliza

done 1t all meant, according to Mr.. Schel-

that plays in those days were purchased
for the princely sum Of from four to eleven
pounds; at least, those are the figures that
one of the most successful managers Of
the time paid for plays produced at his
half dozen theaters. But it should be
said that this manager was -stingy. Once
he wanted to give the four authors of
successful play gratuity; he gave them
10 shillings.

The Boston Globe throws a brilliant
light on dark subject. It says editori-
ally:
Coal is a strat1hed mineral varying in
color from dark brown to black, and, ac-
cording to biologists, is the result of the
transformation of organic matter and is
distinguished by it's fossil origin from
charcoal, which is obtained by the direct
carbonization of wood. IL.
These facts, however, do not prevent
the boys from buying it all up conlbin-
ing on prices, and soaking the con
sumer good and plenty. These salient
facts the Boston paper brings out later
after it has established just what the
stuff is. There is nothing like the logical
order, in Boston. -

E..Jud and Nicholas.

"A bunch Of n North Dakota state sena-
tors got, togethera At fargo the other
day and behold, ,rJu{lt LaMoure was not
in the midst Of them. This of itself
would be Significant, but the story goes
that J1sd was purposely omitted when
the invitations were sent out and that
the conference was really held to dis
cover some way to get the politics of
North Dakota out from under Jud' 8
large and bulbous thumb. This an
nouncement is calculated to create a
sensation and possibly some consterna-
tion in the fickertail state, for this is
no less significant and epoch making
than the movement among the zemstvos
of Russia. Jud and Nicholas are in
position to sympathize. The two
great autocrats are apparently in danger
Of being robbed Of their despotic powers
about the same time, and for the same
reason-a long suffering people have be-
come tired Of the yoke in both cases.
There is this difference to date-the
zemstvos Of Russia have got Nicholas
scared, while zemstvoists Of North Da-
kota, fully conscious Of the temerity of
their presumption, have not yet ven
tured to show their opposition in the
presence of Jud the Terrible.
1t looks a little like the dawn of a
new day politically in North Dakota.
Whether it means anything more than
a change of political bosses remains to
be seen. Meantime, bear in mind that
the change has not taken place yet.
There are pretty nearly as many Alas
kans in Seattle each winter as there are
in any Alaskan town. Seattle has what
is known as the Alaska club, composed of
business men; also a camp of the Arctic
Brotherhood, a fraternal organiza tion pc
culiar to Alaska, except for the Seattle
lodge. Both Of these organizations have
adopted memorials asking congress to pro-
vide by the necessary legislation for a
delegate in congress representing Alaska
The Arctic Brotherhood specify that the
delegate should be elected. The Alaska
club evidently would accept an appoint
ed delegate rather than none at all. 1t
will be an act of injustice Of an inexcus-
able kind if congress does not at this ses-
sion give Alaska a representative, but
there is danger that a matter of such
remote interest to a great many members
of congress will receive no attention al
this short session.

THIRD PROMOTION
IN THREE MONTHS
Mr.. /. s. Cobb Night Editor Of
New York Sun.
Has Charge Of An Entire Crew Who
Get out the Early Edition
of the Paper.
ALSO WRITES DIALECT STORIES

Mr.. Irwin S. Cobb, until a few
months ago managing editor Of the
Paducah News-Democrat, has made
good in New York, and becomes a
most creditable addition to the Ken
lucky colony OF newspaper men in
Gotham. He has just scored his
third promotion since he went to the
metropolis, now being night editor
of the New York Sun, a paper that
has no superior in the whole world
for reliability and literary perfec-
ton.
Mr.. Cobb a month ago was promot-
ed from the "city DESK to which he
had been elevated after only about a
week of work as a reporter. His
ability was at once recognized. and
he was given the night editorship.
He now has charge OF the force
which prepares matter for the early
edition of the Sun. This edition goes
on the street at 10 a. m. and in New
York newspaper parlance, the crew
is known as the Lobster trick"
They go to work at 2 a. m. and
quit work at a. m, when the regu-
lar staff takes charge.
II will be good news to Mr.. Cobb's
many friends and admirers in Padu-
cab to learn that he has had three
promotions in three months. In ad-
dition to his regular work, he is
contributing regularly to the Satur-
DAY humor page of the paper, sto-
RES Of southern dialect which have
been widely copied.
Mr.. Cobb has arrived" and his
friends will wish him further ad-
vsncement.

Marketing the Tobacco Crop.
n Tobacco Journal.

southern TOBACCO JOutIldl
so far the tobacco offerings on
the Virginia markets are very small.
The tobacco crop is light and the
farmer ought to and will get fancy
prices if they can put the law of sup
ply and demand in operation. ''-NeWa
and Observer.
1t is the concluding words of tho
above paragraph we desire to endorse,
SO far as light sales are concerned.
that is to be expected at this season OF
the year. The old crop is almost eX-
hausted, and the new is still on the
hill. AS to fancy prices that may not
be, but good paying prices for all de-
sirable grades will no doubt be OBJ
tanned. The crop in Virginia, and in
all the old Carolina belts are not
large ones. However. with favorable
seasons from now until the weed ma
lures an average crop in pounds may
be produced, but not an abnormal
yield. In the bright belts the crop
will be less than one-half in pounds.
This is a great falling off, ana prices
must be effected in consequence. Wha!
we want to say is, that farmers should
not rush their tobacco to market, un-
less prices are high enough to justify
them in doing so. Market your to-
bacco gradually. Tobacco will sell
we'll. This same advice applies To
dealers with stocks on hand.
