MRS. WIGGS.

One of the most curiously named pieces before the footlights this season is undoubtedly Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" which will be seen at Polls on Friday evening. To read CTS of Mrs Rice's two delightful stor- ies (NIrs Wiggs and Lovey Mary), the title is naturally suggestion of the whole kindly humor and semi-gro- tesque eccentricity of the original tales To the belated playgoer who has not yet enjoyed these little mas terpieces of American fiction in hum bIe genre life drawing, however Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" must call up sundry odd notions. Odd as is the caption of the play, its charac- ter types are equally odd. and, judg- ing from all reports, the Liebler & Co cast would appear to be admirably suited to their interpretation. Mrs Madge Carr Cooke as Mrs Wiggs, Miss Taliaferro as Lovey Mary, Miss Hell en Lowell as Miss Hazy, and Will T. Hodge as Stubbins. should certainly constitute an effective quartet of prin- cipal character portrayers. Mrs Wiggs" will be presented here with it's original company after enjoying a remarkably successful run of three months at the Park theater, Boston.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES

AT THE JACQUES.
 There was a promise of something new in comedy at the Jacques yes. terday. and Walter c. Kelly was un' derlined as the man to show it. The novelty, however, was not in the style so much as in the material of MT. KeHy's monologue. He deals al most entirely in stories of the South, and these are told with quaintness and richness of dialect that make them most refreshing. There is noth- ing used in the way of makeup to ac- cent the stories, MT Kelly appearing without any stage makeup and with only a gavel and table for accesstons, so that the effectivness of the stories is reached through the peri lction of dialect with which they are told. The stories are entirely original, which helps to account for the length of time that the audiences yesterday insisted on his keeping the stage. MT, Kelly made himself strong popular favor1te yesterday and he bids fair to prove very well liked headliner during the week. A very amusing one act com edy by Menifee Johnstone and his company, bearing the title of The Golden Rose" and written by Edmond Day, made a most favorable impress sion. The playlet has very original and; amusing story which is we'll work ed out. and in the playing Mir John stone and Miss Belle Stoddard show some capital comedy acting. Jordan and Harvey got many laughs, in fact continuous performance of them, for their absurdly humorous Hebrew parodies and dances, and the Europe an opponents of physical culture, the Bellclaire brothers, won much ap- plause for their novel exhibition. Others on the bill are Stanley and Brockman, the Montague sisters, Fur ner and Gilbert and the electograph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; after moons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

A TEST.

The telephone bell rang in an up town residence few evenings ago and young woman, who was eX- pectfng caIl rushed to answer it, being sure that one of her admirers had called her up.
 .Is this -" demanded voice, repeating the number of the phone in question.
 ''Yes,'' replied the girl.
 'Well,' continued the voice, i've are testing the wire. Will you please draw long breath and say, very plainly, T will be good"
 She obeyed. T will be good,' she said.
 "A little slower, and a little more distinctly, now, please"
 ''I-will-be-good said the young woman, trying her best.
 ''No, that's not right at all," cor rected the voice. 'We must fix that wire, I guess. Now, make one extra effort and say it again.
 The girl caught her breath. sI will be goodv' she shouted.
 You will, will your laughed the voice. "Well, I'm glad to hear you say so. You were decidedly unpleas- ant the last time called''
 And just then the man at the other end of the wire rang off" Now the young woman is trying to discover just which of her admirers played such a detestable joke on her Philadelphia Press.

A LEGITIMATE RESULT
WHAT INDIANAPOLIS NEWS SAYS
 OF THE NOMINATION..
Roosevelt as Vice-President and for President So Different as to Inspire Feeling Akin to Fear-The In- eumbency of President nm
 Experiment..

Indianapolis Special to N. O. Times Democrat.
 There is much comment here over an editorial article in The Indianapolis Fairbanks and has long been his per sonal organ, in which there is broad intimation that the Republicans did not want Roosevelt, but had to take enthusiasm at Chicago. and among other things said:
 But as to platform, no less than as to candidate. there was not anything to excite even curiosity; for 1t is true-and pity 'tis 'tis true-that even as to party policy everything was put off on the leaders. The rank and file had no con victions strong enough to make a fight for. Their party was in. The first thing in the estimation of all members of the party Is to stay in.
 "It Is a pity that also Is true. But it is true that the body of the RepubIi- of power were either willing that It should stay in or that they were so well satisfied with the status that they had no opinions.
 For even his Western constituency is puzzled by him. It hardly knows how to classify him. In many respects he is one of the ablest men that ever went to the White House. In many things his life and career make him more of a characteristic product of America than any man similarly placed. But there has been fear of him. Amer jeans have not been wont to make President of brilliant men. For Vice. President Roosevelt was a name t3 conture with. Now, through mourn ful events with three years service be- hind him, the question of a brilliant man for the high office came to the front.
 What he had done could not be de- nted The personal enthusiasm for him could not be denied So his re- nomination was conclusion foregone; and yet there Is the cause of much of the lack of enthusiasm now
 Roosevelt for Vice President and Roosevelt for President are two diffef- ent things. There is a feeling akin to fear, or at least a feeling that, in q way, his ,incumbency meant an experi- ment. But there was nothing else Ia do; the people had wanted him once; they hope he win be safe now; they stuff out of which enthusiasm is made The, basis is full confidence. So what we have seen at Chicago, while the product of many and varied feelings and emotions, Is a legitimate result

The Nodular Disease of sheep.

Bulletin No 79 of the Louisiana Ex- pertinent Station by pr. w. H. Dalrym- pie Is of interest because of the preva- lenee of this disease in Alabama and is abstracted below. The disease is so named because or the presence of small nodules in the jntestines. Their appearance is due to small worm. the mature form of which is found in the intestines. and the immature stages Of which. when the worm is microscopic in size. are found in the nodules Some of the adult parasites, and probably some of the eggs, pass out with the manure, thus infecting the pastures. and this Is one of the reasons for the common ex- perienee that pastures for sheep should
 be changed every year. It also points
 to the conclusion that. if practicable.
 the lambs after they begin to graze
 from the dams
 The author recommends the comhina-
 ton of preventive and curative treat
 ment although medical treatment can not reach that stage of the worm when
 the worms are inclosed in the nodule
 He quotes favorable results obtained
 by Dr. Jacobs from the use of a drench
 made by dissolving five ounces of creo-
 lin in a gallon of water. and giving
 each sheep one ounce per day for ten
 days. The chief reliance, however,
 must be placed upon the change of
 pasture or the blowing of the old pas
 ture so as to either starve out or bury
 the parasites. When the lambs of dis
 eased dams were grazed on a pasture recently plowed. and from which all other sheep were excluded. including their dams, they remained healthy. in- dicating that there was no infection from the filth that might have accumu- Hated on the mothers udder, but the author considers this a possible means of infection. -- The cropping of infected pastures for a single season is regarded as suf- ficient to destroy the pest and the fol lowing method is suggested by which sound lambs may be obtained from in- fected mothers. A shed divided into three different compartments should be used the ewes occupying one end the lambs the other end, and the mid. dle part being kept for suckling pen The pen should be we'll foored So as tc be easily kept clean. The two end com partments should connect with pas lures, the one for the ewes and the other for the lambs, the pastures should be separated by a double fence or being far enough apart to prevent the drainage from the ewes pasture from washing over the lambs pasture By pursuing this method for a few years. using the disease-free lambs thus reared as a foundation for the fu- ture flock. it is claimed that 1t is prac- ticab1e entirely to eliminate the dis
 ease. J. F. Duggar.

Pumpkins and MeiiIotus.

Pumpkins make an excellent food for hogs, but consist largely of water. and hence large quantities of them need to be fed. 1 should rank pump kins as somewhat less valuable than green alfalfa and considerably more valuable than turnips
 While melilotus approaches alfalfa in chemical composition and while it is a very nutritious food as proved by experience, yet we consider 1t consider ably below alfalfa in actual value be- cause of it's coarseness, greater ten dency to shed it's leaves, and want of palatability. It should be cut for hay before most of the stems have bloomed or when a few plants are budding or blooming. J. F. Duggar.

Probably No Cause for Alarm in Regard to q Reported New Insect on
 Cotton Near Selma.

Having occasion to spend an hour or two in Selma between trains on June 24 I made it my business to make as many inquiries as possible in regard to the basis for statements appearing in the press about a week before. Some of these statements were to the effect that a new insect had made its ap pearance and that 1t was destroying all the young squares.
 The time was too short to visit any infested field, but the answers to in quiries indicated that the real trouble was not in any loss of squares. h. stead the complaint is of injury to the leaves, the insect causing the trouble attacking the under side of the leaf, and the final result being the curling of the leaf or the presence of angular dead areas, and in some cases the loss of the leaf.
 As most readers have doubtless ob- served this trouble is widely prevail ent this year. I think most of the in- jury was started by the attacks of lice, encouraged by cool nights.
 Possibly small leaf hoppers, not re- cognized as important enemies of cot- ton, may be responsible for a part of the injury, but this Is quite doubtful
 The description of the so-called green fly to which some parties at Selma attributed the injury. corre- spends closely with little leaf hopper that the writer has repeatedly seen this year, apparently causing no spe- cial damage J. F. D.
