CLAY IN HANDLING FIRES.
Novel Article of Commerce Intro duced on the Markets of
 Indiana.

One of the most novel uses of In. diana clays is in the making of a fire kindler. says W. s. Blatchley. state geologist, in his annual report The idea of using a refractory clay for the purpose of kindling fires Is somewhat new, Mir. Blatchley says. and be de scribes the manufacture of the kind lers that are made in Greene county.
 The clay is mixed with one-half of it's bulk of savdust. then nodded into an oval mass a little larger than a hens egg and with four grooves run ming lengthrIss.

arguments, and in the play, which is called 'The Clansman," romantic story has been interwoven that is high ly entertaining. a-.
 The play. which Is produced under the management of George H. Bren- nan, is In four acts. A feature Is the appearance of real horses on the stage.
 The play is of stirring interest, par ticularly in the south, as the scenes are laid below Mason and Dixon's line. The theme was once of vital concern to the south. and Mir. Dixon is one of the able thinkers and speaks of that part of the country. The play has been we'll described by the saying, "'Uncle Toms Cabin answered at last"
 Mfr Dixon is minister, but he has retired from the pulpit.
 Although MT Dixon makes his home in New York and votes there, he spends at least six months of the year at his beautiful estate, Elmington Manor, in Virginia. There Is fine old colonial mansion he lives the life of a country gentleman and dispenses generous hospitality. It is one thing to see Mir. Dixon in his New York study; it is quite another to know him in the coun- try. He was born on farm, and the old love of the soil is still upon him. He wears old clothes and slouch hat, rides over his place of 5G0 acres or runs his launch in Chesapeake bay. The 'big house." as the servants call 1t after the delightful old Virginia fashion, with its stately pillars, faces the east One may stand on the broad porch and watch the sunlight gleam on the rippling blue waters of the bay.
 Japan was the first country to trans late "The Clansman," and a dramati- Zation has just been completed for the Japanese stage. The marvellous up-to- dateness of Japan is impressively illus trated by this interesting item of in- formation.
 Yuichi Masaoka, who translated The Clansman" into Japanese, was not only the most distinguished of the Japanese newspaper correspondents at the peace conference at Portsmouth. but be also holds high rank in the literature of the island empire. Although but twenty five years of age, he is the author of about forty books, including treatises on philosophy, novels, essays and trans. lations
 His most ambitious work is an essay, or, rather, a combination of essay and fiction, entitled Ambition"

AUTO RACE REFORM.

Stripped Stock Cars Will Now Be
 Used In Track Contests.
 Stripped stock touring cars will here after be used almost exclusively for any track racing which may be done. according to men in authority. and the huge racing machines which have caus- ed so much disaster will be used all most entirely for road and beach racing.
 Track races will be promoted another season, but will be limited to cars of not over forty horsepower. With such cars the time will be slower, but the competition will be keener, and the public will take a much greater inter est. inasmuch as the cars used are those placed upon the market and not freak machines. not to be purchased at any price.
 Some of the best races of the last season have been contests in which stripped cars have been used. and some great rivalry has been engen- dered,

"sHERLOCK HOLMES. !

In the widely beralded play of "She-- lock Hoines,' which William Gillette las so tIeftly prepared, from interest ing material furnished by Sir Conan Doyle, there is such a diversified range Of scenic environment as to obtain
 glimpse of many sided London under number Of peculiar aspects. From the outlying districts of the worlds foremost metropolis the audience is shown one of those numerous under ground dens of vice with which the great city abounds. Then after a peep at Sherlock Holmes's Baker streer apartments, where the detective of fic- tiOn finds solace and comfort in his pipe and cocaine, comes to view; the Stepney gas chamber at midnight, and here it is that the marvellous light ef- fects are produced, through the agency of the most powerful and unique cleo trical appliances ever planned for stage use. The last act reveals Dr Watson's consulting room and those who are familiar with elaborate set tings will find much in the nature of furnishings to surprise. All in all i: may be said with impunity that the entire production, aside from its gen eral effectiveness, is rich in genuine novelty, concerning matters of furni- ture and other appropriate fittings. It is positively assured that all the de tails of this fine production win be in full evidence at PolPs on next Mon day evening, when Sherlock Holmes" will be presented by company of su- perior ability an in precisely the same manner as has been the custom ever since the first performance of this eX- citing play. Errol Dunbar will assume the role of Holmes. PEices are 9, 35 an 50 cents. Sale of seats Saturay.
