trying to please folks away in Pennsylvania or
Massachusetts or Missouri, and because we have
a finer lot of correspondents and contributors
than any other farm paper printed in the South.
But how, do you ask, are we going to get 1O
900 more subscribers? This way:

TEEN CENTS!
That is the biggest vg~- have ever made
and it is bound to bring in 10000 more readers.
And once we get 10000 people to reading our
paper from now until January, will hold them
permanently. They can't get away-they'n feel
too much at home in The Progressive Farmer
Family.
So we want you to help-in fact, we are
obliged to have you help.
You have dozen neighbors friends, and rela-
tives who ought to take The Progressive Farmer
and Cotton Plant-who will take it if you men
ton this offer to them.
And you must mention it to them. 1t will help
your neghbors to read the PAPER It will help
your neighborhood to have them read it. 1t will
help you to do this missionary work for them.
Moreover, we'll pay you literally for your work
in getting these trial subscribers-will credit
YOU one month on your label for every fifteen
cent order you send u.s. six months credit for
| club of six, eight months credit for a club OF
| eight, etc.
| Moreover, we going to mail Saturday night
| of each week in October a check for SIS to the
| man or woman who has sent in the biggest club
| of fifteen cent subscribers that week.
! No doubt of our succeeding with offer like
| that.
And finally, we count your help, Mr.. Sub
| scriber-and you ought to send club OF eight
| right away At the postofice, at the mill, at the
| store at the cotton gin, at the Saturday church
meeting, at the cotton growers. at the tobacco
growers or at the Alliance meeting, there op-
| portunities enough for getting them; and we
hope you will take up the matter at once and send
us big club before October 18th. One months
| credit anyhow for each fifteen cent order and 20
in cash if your club is the biggest of the week.
Twenty Years and Twenty Thousand!
A long pull, strong pull, and pull all to-
gether-and the things done.
Let no guilty man escape-that is to say, no
man guilty of trying to keep house without The
Progressive Farmer.
The more subscribers get, the better paper
! we can make. Let every member of The Pro
gresisve Farmer Family do his duty.
And hurry up that club of eight!
Yours for business

MUSIC.
Incidents of a Busy Day.

According to information of an interesting char
acter cleaned by Mr.. Swift. of THE Evening Mail,
from the records OF the Metropolitan Opera House.
Wagner's ''Lohengrn' had its 12sth representation
within its walls yesterday afternoon. The fact
might furnish forth a text for discourse histor-
cal critical and esthetical any day of the week
but this All Saturdays in the season are crowded
with incident but yesterday had than its share,
as readers of the columns OF this journal will
doubtless have seen before this. With details Of
the distressfuI accident the evening performance
at the opera this notice need not deal 1t
itself only with artistic doings and those in the
evening representation would not have been espe-
ciaIly cheering had nothing untoward happened to
mar it, The "Iohengrin" performance illu-
minated by the peculiarly brilliant singing OF MI.
Knote and Nine. Eames. and clouded by the enoTt
of Nine. Senger-Bettaque TO represent the sinister
and .lifficult character OF Ortrud 1t is possible
that had the ladv's voice and method not been
brought into such Grass contrast with the alto
gether lovely utterances of Nine. Eames Judgment
upon her performance might be more fenient As
il was she appeared TO be representative or
that strenuous vocal and dramatic manner which
in the long ago considered CHARACTERISED
caIlv German and therefore Wagnerian. and
again therefore correct and good. Why should
the voice of Wagner's type of the loveless woman
possess any charm, either OF intonation OF tlmore
Why should she not rough hew every word OF the
text, and pursue the last consonant TO the death?
Unhappily for the adherents of this style OF
dramatic singing other ideals came In years, ago
with the Nordioas. De Reszkes and Terminus. and
the oId-fashioned exempIars will henceforth nnd
little grace with the patrons of the Metropolitan
Opera House.
Miss Fremstad not having recovered from her

Sweet Lavender. -

The delicious comedy of Sweet Lavender" writ
ten by Mr.. Pinero and representative of his earlier
ana better style. has been known stage for
more than sixteen years. and known only to be
admired. Last night it acted at the Princess
Theatre, Edward Terry impersonating Dick Phenyl
Of which part ne the original representative
and. in view of the superlative power and beauty
OF TINS comedians performance,-a fabric of IA acile
art, combining character. humor and pathos at
their flood tide OF af1uence and meaning-it may
be thought that, to the American public the play
now stands for the first time fully revealed
II was received. with every mark OF favor
by a crowded house. and the delighted as
semblage was kept in almost continual laughter
and more than once suddenly moved to tears
Ihose observers who would comprehend all that is
meant BY the name OF Phenyl should glance for a
moment at Longfellow's noble poem of 'he Goblet
OF Life" Phenyl is indeed the image of an expert
ence that is most bitter, and yet in it's result
most beautiful Edward Terry, a consummate
artist never either excessive or deficient and
adroit to produce the amplest effects by method
of absolute simplicity. impersonates this character
With all his heart, well as all his mind 1t
seemed easy. Perfect art always does II is only
when you look back upon such acting and thought
fully consider the fabric OF it that you appreciate
the difficulty of creating and sustaining such a
complex personality and dnusing such a potent
charm or lovely illusion The in1persOnation OF
Phenyl by Edward Terry is distinctly and eminenty
work Of genius. The ideal is clear; the express
sion of it vigorous with the strength Of innate good
ness; the humOr spontaneous; the feeling deep; the
Iorm symmetrical compound OF characteristic
traits No one who knows anything about the art
OF acting can see this performance without pro-
found admiration of the actor and-which is far
more Experimentation being made happier and
better. Mr.. Terry's success with the audience was
beyond question and conclusive. His high rank as
a comedian needs no other vindcation He made a
graceful speech, at the close after several recalls
spoke of Sweet Lavender as indeed "a dear,
sweet, good old play" and expressed the hope that
the friendship of his audience in America might
grow IN the fragrance of the flower of which II is

up in great part of theatre-goers who had heard
The School Girl sung number Of times, but
it received every number with immense enthUsi-

she appeared that it had the heartiest apprecia-
tion Of her work The three comedians also
in for their tribute.
At the close Of the performance, While the or
chestra was playing the finale, the audience showed
no desire TO disperse. but remained in the seats
waiting for the music to subside. Then there was
a shout for Miss May. and everybody stood up
and clapped hands and called loudly for the ac-
tress. Miss May forward, smiling. She said:
Your great kindness overwhelms ne, but ii is in
keeping with the warmth and heartiness of the
nightly reception which has been given TO myself

her bow on the stage last September. l know that
