Jacques .x .
VAUDEVILLE.

Of all the forms of dramatic con- struction by far the most difficult is the one act play. and it is for this req son that good specimens of it are sel- dom seen. The action must be concen- trated into thirty minutes, the charac- ters and plot developed must be de- relOped in that time without due haste
 and the necessity for skillful acting is much more imperative than in a four act play. Therefore it is evident that the playlet which succeeds must have both literary and dramatic strength. In both these qualities "A West Point Regulation the sketch which Miss Violet Black and her company opened the weeks bill at the Jacques this af- ternOOn. is unusually rich, and the beautiful manner in which the comedy situations were presented helped to make it the complete hit it proved to be. Miss Blacks sweetly attractive personality is only surpassed by her knowledge of her art and it is easy to see why both play and player have been So popular everywhere the com edie1tta has. heaA seen. This engage mentt shOuld prove to be one of the most pleasant this season. and Miss Black at it's conclusion will be placed high in the esteem of the patrons of the house than whom no better judges of the best in the vaudeville field are 10 be found.

THE APPLE .MACCOT.
Something About This Orchard En- emy, and How It May Be Suc-
 cessfully Combated.

The Maine experiment station, Orono, Me. has just issued bulletin No. 1O9, up- on the apple maggot and other insects. The bad work of the apple maggot is done while 1t is in the larval stage, or just after hatching from the egg. The adult insect is fly, somewhat smaller than the common house fly, and is read lily distinguished by four dark, irregu- lar bands across the wings. It is found in orchards from July until frost, during which time the females are engaged in piercing or stinging the skin of the ap- pie with sting-like ovipositor and leaving in each wound an egg, buried in the flesh of the apple. Each female can lay from 300 to 400 eggs. After hatch ing the maggots tunnel through the flesh of the fruit and feed upon it until they are full grown. These tunnels often lie directly beneath the skin and on the light-colored varieties, thus giv- ing the insect the popular name Rail- road worm." But although the mag got comes close to the skin it never breaks through and Is thus always pro- tected and cannot be affected by spray ing.
 Remedies.--The presence of the mag. got hastens the ripening of the fruit and much of that attacked drops as windfalls. Thus the destruction of windfalls is one of the most effective steps in the destruction of the pest. Hogs or sheep should be kept in the or chard to eat the windfalls. All canning refuse should be destroyed. The pupae, or insects in the shell form, that remain in the bottoms of boxes and barrels in which apples have been stored should be destroyed. Orchardists who pasture their orchards with hogs and sheep re- port light losses. while others in the same locality, who do not do so, nor destroy the windfalls in some other way, report heavy losses.

"EBEN HOLDEN"

The quaint philosophy and rugged American epigrams of "Eben Holden" which will be seen at Poli's Wednes- day afternoon and evening, cannot fail to dispel any thought of care, while the antics of the harelip boy whose sole ambition is to get into the church choir, add hlarity to the more quiet fun furnished by Uncle ED. Intermin- gled with all is the delightful love story of William Brewer and his foster sis ter. Hope. Such mixture of laughter and tears is sure to carry any play to success. Simple as the story is, it comes nearer to being one of the great American plays than most that have been produced, for 1t presents more varied types of American character than any drama of recent years. The story is told in three acts. the first of which is laid in the interior of David Brower's barn at Lone Pine farm. It is the day when Eben Holden is away, showing his pet horse, Black Hawk, at the county fair. The end of this act IS quiet, but touches the heart as but few stage scenes ever do. The sec ond act, showing a picturesque spot around Tinkle brook. is full of fun and patllos. of quiet drollery and pret- ty love making. The last act is in the kitchen of the Brewer farm. Hope is away teaching, her heart made bitter by the knowledge that her father sep arted her from her sweetheart. whom she believes to have been killed in bat tie. There is deep loneliness on the old people and then comes the happy ending. Hope and Will in each others arms. and Uncle Eb rejoicing that "the two halves" of his life are at last made one.

by a group of old-time friends who claimed his attention and recognition after his years of foreign travel. Look ing beyond the little group about him into the ballroom, his rowing gaze was instantly caught and held by ths vision of girl with a pair of won ierful dark and deep eyes, an exquisite face and quiet dignity in the carriage of her svelte figure.
 "Who is she?" he asked of the man nearest him, and even before the an swer came he knew the name would be Lucille Felton."
 Look out!" he was warned, "Lucile cannot be accused of flirting. but she attracts all. men and always turns them down."
 She saw him coming across the room and knew him by the winsome brown eyes that were still the eyes of the little boy she had played with years before.
 "Oh. yes!" she said carelessly, as he recalled himself to her memory. T remember all my old playmates."
 Then she turned to a man immacu. late in evening dress who claimed ner for the waltz.
 Paul Willis stood gazing after them, all his ardor and impetuosity dam pened by her nonchalent greeting. She smiled softly to herself through the waltz. The little" Lucille Felton at l3 had at last been avenged. All the evening he watched her dancing and chatting with her partners, always gay and careless. His whole heart went out to her.
 Just before the last dance he found an opportunity to speak with her alone. He was tongue-tied from this new. strange feeling.
 Are your parents welI?" he finally asked abruptly. A shadow came over her face. The fan she had trembled.
 Did you not know? They died four years ago."
 Forgive mel did not krow," he said.
 And the old home," she continued, lifting saddened eyes to his. "burned down and all its contents." She was more beautiful still with this sudden sorrow in her eyes.
 And you-whepe is your homer
 T live with my sister. Mrs Lothrop in your home city"
 Then others came up to her and hs was outside the little circle.
 But the next day and the many that followed showed 10 more of her mo- mentary softening. and she resumed her old careless manner toward him. The season ended, and they both re- turned to the city. where he became . frsqueat caller at N1- Lothrop'A Alvays v1s ths lsaGing b his hsart bot lne1lo GN not ruaax.

DELcAsSE TO REMAIN
French Foreign Minister withdraw
 Resignation.

French Foreign Minister Withdraws
 Resignation.
 PARIS, April 24.-Yielding to the personal solicitations and representa- tions of President Loubet and the lead CTS of the government, who declared that his retirement would be serious national peril at this time. M. Delcasse advised Premier Rouvier that he would reconsider and withdraw his rcsigna- tion as foreign minister.
 This was after strong assurances had been given to Mir. Delcasse that the ministry was united in sympathy with and support of his foreign policy. It was the intention to hold special cabinet council, at, which the united attitude of the ministry upon foreign questions would receive definite expres- sion. However, NJ. Delcasse's personal conferences with NM. LoNbet andl, ,Ropg,,, M, vier made such an explicit declaration unnecessary, the proposed council was abandoned, and Premier Rouvier went at 5 D.. m. to the Elysee palace, where he announced to NJ. Loubet that NJ. Del casse would remain in the cabinet.
 In the course of the conferences be- tween the president and NM. Rouvier and Delcasse the latter said that he would retain the portfolio of foreign affairs only in case the entire cabinet approved of his foreign policy. which he would carry out according to his views. He added that the authority necessary to carry on negotiations with the powers was ineffective if such ne- gotiations led to reserves or divergences among the members of the cabinet.
 The purpose of the intended cabinet meeting was to remove every scruple in the mind of the foreign minister con- cerning the loyalty of the support giv- en to him. The conferences accom- plishcd the same object, showing that there was no divergence of view. and in consequence NJ. Delcasse finally an. nounced that he would remain.
