JUNGLE TOM's CABIN"

Uncle Toms Cabin'' never grows old. There runs through it vein of pathos peculiarly sweet and appealing. It speaks the universal language of the heart: it reflects like the prism the innermost phases of the human emotions: it is more than a play; it is a moral classic: it argues for two of the greatest themes that can engage the mind, human liberty and immor- tality of the soul. Notwithstanding its frequent productions. it is seldom one sees the play as it will be present ed at Polls Saturday afternoon and evening It is refreshing to see the old play in it's natural habiliments once more. quite like meeting an old friend after many years. A great big street parade will be given at noon Saturday. Prices are 25. 35 and DO cents: matinee 15 and p cents.

TO ABANDON TREATY
Santo Domingo Protocol Will
 Not Be Pressed.
THE SENATE MAY ADJOURN TODAY
President Conferred With Vice Pres. ident Fairbanks and Many Sen- ators-Chances Are Against
 Ratification.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Presi- dent Roosevelt had series of confer ences with leading senators, including Messrs. Platt (Conn.), Spooner (Wis), Cullom Qll.l, Frye (MeJ and Foraker (O.l. in regard to the Santo Domingo treaty, now pending in the senate. Vice President Fairbanks also talked with the president. It was virtually decided to abandon the treaty at the present session rather than allow it to come to vote with the chances strongly against it's ratification.
 Mir. Roosevelt has consented to this plan. as it was agreed that nothing but the absence of Republican senators would make possible the ratification of the convention. and the best opinion among the leaders is that the matter should be postponed until the next ses- sion of congress.
 White House there is some probability that the extraordinary session of the senate may come to a close today. In that event no vote will be taken on the treaty, which will go over without ac- ton until the next session.
 One alternative is that Senator Gull lom. as chairman of the committee on foreign relations. should offer a resolution directing the president to appoint a commission 10 make au in vesiigation of the Santo Domingo debt and other questions involved in the protocol. This plan has been agreed on tentatively as the programme most desirable under existing conditions. es- pecially as it is believed that such a resolution could he adopted without debate. No decision was reached which which may not he changed. however. and other plans have been suggested ar are brewing.
 Santo Domingo's total debt. which has been the subject of prolonged de- bate in the senate. k placed at S3S.- er1.pnn in round figures. This is the amount computed by Senator Morgan
 of this sum s24.5i3.3s1 has already been repudiatei hy tlie council of the corporation of foreign l'Ondholders.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

The success of the current bill at the Jacques continues uninterTuptedly and the favor won by the performers early has grown until each number achieves q personal triumph. X more evenly balanced bill has not been Of- fered at this house this season and the spirit of amusement and the awaken ing of interest increases with each sue ccsSive act until by the time the head line feature preented by Pat Rooney and Marion Bent appears the audience is in the proper spirit to appreciate the value of the number. Mir KO0ney and his winsOmc. refined little partner have made a greater impression even than the sprightly Pat did when he appeared here last season with Emma Francis. His dancing is much i'm proved in the detail of finish and Miss Bent lends q refined charm to the amusing features of the turn which en- hances it greatly. The comedy sketch. Aunt I.ouisa's Advice" is one of the few vaudeville skits which does not require strong dash of slap stick to pull it along. It is great relief tO sec q playlpt which does not drag the laughs out. hut during which you can sit cliuckling quietly. occasionally giving rein tO n good wholesome shout. but all the time experiencing that pc- culiar collaboration of mood that is as rare as the fablel dodO. It requires art of no mean quality to secure the effects Howard TrIesdale and his wife and assisting players cause solely hy means of q Iuiescent style that must be cOnsummately handled if it would not be weak. Flood Brothers. Sulli- van and Pasauelena. Hal Merritt. Hen derson and Ross and the great Chick furnish the remaining essentials to the succesS of the performance. Prices are 10. 2O and 30 cents: afternoons l0 and 2O cents. ladies 10.

CONVENIENT SCRAPER.

tongue, handles and several braces and bolts. The length of the plank should be about twice the distance between the rows. The plank should have strap of iron at the bottom in front for a cutting edge and to prevent wear.
 The tongue should be fastened to the plank at right angles. and securely braced, says the Ohio Farmer. The handles. which may be taken from an old blow or walking cultivator, should also be fastened and braced to the plank. We leave each horse walk in a furrow. but it is better to use long doubletree and neckyOke or shafts and but one horse, so the potatoes do not get moved and tramped. .-
 The scraper carries some ground ahead of it. which it pulverizes It may be used to scrape the barnyard if the ground is smooth.

ARTHUR PRYOR'S BAND.

At great inconvenience Arthur Pry- or's band has been secured for re- turn engagement Sunday afternoon and evening at Poli's. There was so much general disappointment over the fact that a musical treat of so great attractions was missed that the man. agement made special Inducements to Mir Pryor to return. The great cOnduc- tor was none too pleased at the pros pect in view of the wretched attend ance two weeks ago. but finally coll scented to close the engagement. It is not necessary to dilate on the merits of the band which is the best in America. nor the genius of the direc- tor who is the greatest trombonist in the world.

Signs of the Caterpillar.

An aged farmer living near Columbus, O., has for number of years watched the color of the caterpillar and the way it changes with the weather. The color of that insect late in the fall, he claims. Is correct index of the weather for the coming winter. This year the cater pillar was dark at either end, but very light in the middle, showing, according to his theory. the fore part of the winter to be cold. Last year, he says, the cater pillar was dark all over, and as proof of his theory this aged farmer points to the severity of last winters weather.
