REMARKABLE
PLAY
What GIenmOre Davis, of New
York Globe, Says About
-pfeCtOrS' Theatre.

In a way Mr.. P~roctor's Fifty-eighth
street theatre is the most remarkable
of all the sixty-odd playhouses in the
city. Most amusement places, be-
cause of the geographical location or
the class of performances they offer,
cater to particular fields, have their
own variety of patrons and rely lit
tie for support on persons outside OF
the pale of their own clientele. The
Fifty-eighth street theatre draws
alike from the East and West sides.
With the exception of the Hippo
drome, no other metropolitan amuse-
ment place has such cosmopolitan
audiences. This is due to its pecul-
lar situation and to the fact tina its
are always variety bills.
Standing on what might be called
the dividing line between two great
extremes of population, its call on
the people to the east and west Is en-
HANGED by the fact that Fifty-nintii
street, but one block above, is the
only great t~horoughfare of cross
town rapid transit Tor more than
four miles. Any afternoon ~ even
ing you will find the fashionable res
idence district of Madison, Lexington
and Fifth avenue as well represented
in the audience as are the mere l)wly
but equally human regions bounded
by Third avenue and the r Isl river.
This cosmopolitanism was never
more clearly shown than las Satur-
day afternoon, when some tnree
thousand children packed the orches-
ira, balcony and gallery or the occa-
sion of the initial ante-seasnr visit
of Santa Claus to Fifty-eighth s,7e"t.
1t had been announced that The Jolly
dispenser of happiness wcnll ari'ear
on the Proctor stage durinS the mat
nee performance and distribute to
all the little boys aud little girls
mementoes suitable to the holiday
time and to what the glad hearted

old fellow considered the needs of
the infant population. In the boxes
and orchestra chairs sat hundreds of
handsomely dressed youngsters at
tended by fond m or nurses.
The balcony and upper regions were
packed with the less-eXpensively Mt
tired and unattended youth of the
East side. The fact hat the. holiday
excitement was as noticeable among
the children of the rich as among the
offspring of the poor was emphatic
proof that the ability to enjoy and
appreciate is a part of childhood even
if it is sadly lacking in grown-ups.
On the two succeeding Saturday al
the ~Fifty-eighth street play
house will be the scene of similar
demonstrations.
Some of the theatregoers of little
old New York may be interested in
knowing that this theatre is one of
the very largest in the United States,
that its proscenium arch is exceeded
in height by only one or two i'll New
York, and that its stage is as large
as two ordinary stages. The fact
that it is equipped with tw~enty-foItT
boxes, has more stairways than any
other playhouse in the city, and can
be emptied quicker than any other
of New York amusement places,
are, however, well known. Some big
changes are going to be made by the
Proctor management in the attrae-
tiveness of the Fifty eighth street
theatre. Innovations of rather a
startling nature which should make

Instructions of Department.
The postoffice department at Wash
ington is interested in the careful
handling of Christmas mail, as will
be seen by the following instructions
issued to postal employees:
During Christmas holiday season
numerous Christmas gifts are in the
registered and ordinary mails. Many
of them are fragile and some are not
packed securely enough to Withstand
either the frequent handling they re-
ceive or contact with heavier bundles
or packages.
Clerks are especially charged,
therefore to exercise extraordinary
care in dumping pouches and sacks
in piling mail and also in delivering
it, to avoid breaking or crushing
Christmas gifts.
1t is also important in distribute
ing packages into pouches or sacks
to do so carefully in order to avoid
their being broken by contact with
heavy matter or by striking the
racks.
Trampling upon mail sacks is al
ways forbidden. When sacks or
pouches in the rack begin to fill up,
they must not be jolted or the con
tents pressed down either by hand
or foot. and if the contents do not
settle by shaking the sacks from the
bottom, they should be taken out and
other sacks hung instead of endeav-
oring to pack sacks or pouches to
the fullest extent
When practicable, packages OF
merchandise, which seem especially
liable to injury should be included
in pouches whether letter postage is
paid on them or not.
Clerks will be particular 70 note
the pouch or sacks in which loose ar
ticles are found, and examine same
carefully to see whether the address
can be ascesteinel before treating
thom as unmailables IN all cases the

HOW TO MAIL
XMAS GIFTS.
Valuable Hints for Sending
Articles by MaiI---Department
Says Be Careful.

Below are found a few valuable
hints before the Christmas rush of
postal business begins.
BY paying attention to these hints
a more satisfactory use of the mails
will be had and many delays caused
by the lack of information by the
senders of packages will be avoided.
The hints follow:
Always place stamps in Upper
right hand corner.
Second, third and fourth class
matter deposited either in street box
or postofice, if not fully prepaid, is
held at Office of mailing until ad-
dressee (who will be notified) sends
amount of deficiency.
Mail matter of every description
should bear name and address of
sender in the upper left hand corner.
This will insure return of matter if
for any reason same cannot be de-
livered.
See that the proper postage is
paid.
Have your letters and packages
properly addresses.
Do not hold mail until the close
of business, but mail it at frequent
intervals during the day.
Postage stamps are neither re-
deemable o exchangeable for those
of other denominations.
Stamped envelopes which have
been spoiled by misdirection or other
cause, and which have not been can
celled, If in a whole condition, will
be redeemed for the value of the
postage on them, payable in stamps.
Mail matter deposited on the top
of letter boxes is not in the custody
of the. postoffice.
1t sometimes happens that letters
intended to be registered, and have
the necessary postage thereon, are
dropped in the postofice in the ordi-
nary letter box. These letters are
not registered, but go through as or
binary mail. The postoffice depart
ment requires parties registering let
ters to present same at p~ostofice
registry window, where a receipt will
be given, or to any letter carrier, who
will give receipt for same and letter
will be duly registered.
All letters and packages with val
liable contents should be registered,
as it is always impossible to trace
losses of ordinary mail matter.
More mail matter is improperly
handled, delayed and missent be-
cause of improperly or carelessly
written Authorizations of states than
from all other causes combined.
Any p~ostoffice, no matter how
small, makes special delivery of mail
matter bearing a special stamp, with
in n mile of the office.
A special delivery stamp placed on
a letter or package does not guaran-
tee it against the possibility of loss,
but simply insures prompt delivery
at the Office to which it is addressed,
therefore, do not use special delivery
stamp instead of registering valuable
letters and packages.
Ordinary matter addressed to fic-
ticious persons or firms, to initials
GA. B. c." TX. Y. H." etc. or to
no particular person or firm, unless
directed to be delivered at a desig-
mated place, as a postofice box, street

warded with reports of unavailable
matter, and section 1912 to 1913, in
elusive, P. L. and r., otherwise care
fully complied with.
Clerks will also retie loose pack
ages to prevent any loss of contents.
1t is the especial duty of clerks in
charge to see that these instructions
are enforced in their several crews.

MIXED FARMING FOUND -
- PROFITABLE IN RICH AND.

Wahpeton, N. D., Aug. I2.-The
wheat harvest has begun in a few
localities. A week Of warm weather
brought the grain on all at once, so
that there is a lively call for new har-
vest machinery. Next week harvest
will be in full blast. %w
Some barley has been in shock for
over week and some is being thresh-
ed. The wheat is fairly good and oats
and fax are fine. This has been a
great year for timothy and clover, Of
which "a larger percentage is going in
every year. The black rust scare is
doing much. to turn this locality from
its predominant wheat-raising feature
to. that of pasturing and mixed-farm-
ing. One place which this year is
raising Goo acres of wheat, 800 acres Of
oats and 200 acres barley besides 100
acres corn and 40 acres potatoes, next
year expects TO raise 200 acres Of
wheat, and the balance principally in
oats and barley. The wheat will be a
nurse crop for timothy and clover and
"a herd OF full-blooded cattle will be
placed on the farm.
Another thing that is influencing
farmers to cnange over to the mixed
style Of farming is the policy Of the
Adams farm, twelve miles west Of
Wahpeton This 900 acre tract for
several years planted from Loo to a,-
600 acres Of corn and pastnred from
5000 to 10000 sheep. The land was
built up by the use Of twenty manure
spreaders. None, Of the straw was
burned. The result is that the wheat
fields which formerly were producing
about fifteen bushels an acre have for
two or three years yielded about TWEEN
|ty-eight to thirty bushels an acre.
Winter rye is becoming staple crop
west of Wahpeton; much Of it has been
threshed for two Or three weeks.

Lewis Family Day at the exposition
and, according to a careful estimate,
there are in the neighborhood Of 5000
Lewises attending this grand family
reunion. They have come from all
parts of the United States and Can
ada and many of them claim more
|or less remote relationship to Meri-
weather Lewis, one of the explorers
in whose honor the exposition is
named.
There are two organizations COM
posed of the Lewis tribe; the Lewis
Society, which held its first congress
in St. Louis during the Worlds Fair,
and the Loyal Lewis Legion, which
was organized on Independence Day,
in 1901, and held its first session at
|St. Louis in September, 1904. Both
societies will meet here this afternoon.
A committee will be appointed to go
to Tennessee and decorate the grave
of Meriweather Lewis Immediately aft
