Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

It takes an extraordinarily clever comedian to make the audiences at the Jacques laugl because they have seen so many really funny things pra- scented at this theater since the muse that only the simon pure unadulterat- ed essence, of comedy can succeed in making them even smile. But this week. willy-nilly. they must laugh in asmuch as there is nothing else to be done if they would stay through the performance. For let it he known that Buster" KeatOn of the Three Keat- Ons. who head the bill. suffers neither man nor woman to leave his presence without having wrung from them at least ten laughs q minute. If anyone has resolved during the Lrnt,I season to let no flicker of mirth cross his VI sage. let him stay out of temptation and the Jacques these six days. Or if already tired of the self imposed pen ance let him come to the theater and have the best excuse in the world fo;' breaking tlra resolution. No one was ever made who could resist the 1rOll- cries of this boyish sprite of rippling good hlmor. "The ImpostOr." the comedy sketch offered hy May Duryea and W. H.

The knife and saw still remain the principal remedies against the blight. We have not yet found a remedy that may be applied to and cure sick limbs and twigs.
 When bllghted portions are cut from twigs of trees they should be at once burned. The dead wood really contains no live blight spores, but the point where the living tree comes in contact with the dead part may.
 The pecan crop is estimated at over 10000, 900 pounds short by the Dried Fruit and Nut company, at St. Louis. The estimate is claimed to be made on careful investigation. Of course, a shortage of this extent would indicate much higher prices.
 There can be no question but that the sulphur lime and salt solution is a very efficient fungicide. Itsurpasses anything know of for cleaning up the trunks of trees and it has very marked effect upon the freedom from scab of both fruit and foliage.

FIRE AT sPoRTsMEN's SHOW.
Madison Square Garden Dana gcd tO
 Extent of S5O,OOO.

Madison Square Garden magcd tO
 Extent of $5O.OOO.
 NEW YORK, March S.-Firc which ate up the northeast corner of Madison Square Garden last night did about $5O.OOO damage to the building and ex- hibits of various firms and individuals at the SpOrtsmen's show.
 Not half hour before the Garden theater had been iammed with hun dreds of men. women and children wit messing "The College Widow" while the amphitheater of tho garden had emptied itself of the sevcval thousand patrons of the Sportsmen show. Tine few hundreds that remained escaped even taint of smoke by fast walking.
 The loss to the garden was $I0.00O: to Abercrombic & Fitch. exhibitors of guns and other weapons. S1jWD: D. r. Durkee. canoes and small boats. Sl0.- 600: Canadian Parific Railway cOmpa ny. 5000. while the remainder was di- vided among the Intercolonial Railway company. the Cleanall exhibit. Old Jud's cabin and the Dunlop Tire con- pany. Ali these. with Dr. French. who had an exhibition of animals from Maine, had stations at the northeast corner of the garden.
 Of the wildcats. bears. rarcoonS. squirrels and feathered fowl only one black bear succtlmbed to smoke and water.
 The origin of tie fire is not yet def- nitely known. IL is known. however. that it was first seen almost simultanr- ously with at least six explosions that were heard block away.
 During the Sportsmen's show it has been the custom to take to the big dou- ble doors at Fourth avenue the rubbish accumulated during the day :o he talk cn away during the morning. It was admitted last night that a large heap of paper and other coEnbustible srlb- stances had been piled near the door. Near by. ii was asserted. were q half dozen or more cans of gasoline placed where motor boat men and other per sons needing it could ger it in the morning. Ii is thought tie fire starte'l at that point.
