ity. He is content with the wonderful
drama Of Christ as narrated in the
Book, without spurious amendments
which dramatic demands might sug-
gest. Pictured are such mighty fig
ures as the imperious Herod, king of
Galilee, the John the Baptist, the ST.
rem salome, the sinister Caiaphas, the
weeping Magdalene, the betrayer Ju-
das, and the meek and gentle Peter.
All were characterized with sincerity,
which was convincing, real tribute
to production of this class.
There were several notable pieces OF
acting in the play, the best of which
was the enactment of Peter, given by
Frank Whitcomb. 1t would be diff
cult to conceive a more touching pic
picture of humanity and sorrow. Rev.
John r. Wright as John the Baptist.
Lillian Alexander, as Mary Magda-
lene. Grace Hamilton as Salome,
John H. Williams as Pontias PLATE,
Clinton Ferry as Herod, Edgar Jones
as Marius, Delvin Gosset as Andrew,
Isabel Winlohe as Elizabeth and Beu-
lah Gwin as Herodias all did nieritor-
ious work.

"THE HOLY CITY"
Gordon & Benefits New York At
traction Coming in October

Among the best, if not the best at
traction, that Manager Walker has Sc
cured for the Grand this season, is
Gordon d Benefits "Holy City"
which will appear in this city in Oct
ober.
The Theatrical News says that it is a
story full of dignity, power and lofty
inspiration is "The Holy City," tran
scribed from the Scriptures and ar
ranged for the stage by Clarence Ben
nett of the we'll known theatrical firm
of Gordon & Bennett. 1t was produ-
ced at the Academy Of Music last
evening before one OF the largest and
most appreciative assemblages of the
incipient season. This fact was grati-
flying and significant, because the
audience was obviously not assembled
for the mere purpose of cheap amuse-
ment, but it was dominated by mo-
tives of spiritual sincerity and rever-
ence. 1t is well for these playgoers
that a drama of this class is given
here at least once year.
Careful analysis of the play fails to
disclose anything which might be in
terpreted as sacrilege by the fastidous
or even a violation of good taste. The
author has tactfully used the material
at hand, introducing nothing Of
sensational or questionable charac-
ter, not even given a taste of original

New York Times.

nephew Edward through college, next
supplied him with funds for a years

man was possessed by a praiseworthy
zeal to entertain his venerable and

plain to her that he had profited by
his advantages. Especially had he

HAS FEWER ANARCHISTS.
Public Feeling Has Driven Most Of
the Murderous Sort from
Italy.

The attempt on the life of the Dow
ager Queen Margherita has filed Ital-
ians with horror and Indignation. Since
the assassination of her husband. the
unfortunate Humbert, the horror to-
wards anarchists has been more in
tense every day, and public opinion is
strong in its denunciation of that NOR
al scourge.
Strange to say. and against the uni
versal belief, there are probably fewer
anarchists in Italy to-day than in any
other country of the world. 1t is true
that a majority of the anarchists arc
Italians, but, as a rule, they do not
operate in their native land. The
United States and Spain offer the an
archists a much better field than Italy,
where the police has made a special
and constant duty Of the prosecution
Of anarchists.
Up to the time Of President McKin-
ley's assassination America was the
greatest anarchist center Of the world.
OF late, however. the reds have pitched
their camp in Barcelona and other
cities of Spain, and IL is there that
plans are made and from there that

American Women as Teachers.

Four-fifths Of the teachers in the
United States, according to a recent
census bulletin, are women and Lhere
are more teachers in this country than
there are clergymen, lawyers and phys
icians together. In the proportion of
women teachers employed the United
States leads the world, although in
nearly every civilized country the
greater part Of the teaching Is done
by women. This is in line with the
general tendency toward the advance
ment Of woman to a better place In
this country. In 1890 the number of
women In paying positions in this
country was 3,914,571, and In 1900 this
number had increased to 5,32e, sol.
However. as the number of men in
paying positions has also increased in
the same time, 1t must not be accepted
as certain that women are going TO
crowd men out Of positions In initial
lectual employment altogether.

OUR ENORMOUS EGG CROP
Over Forty-Three Million Crates Are
Produced in the United
States Annually.

The egg and poultry earnings Of the
United States for one recent year
amounted to $2S0,0O0,000. Such an
amount is sufficiently amazing as it
stands, but you don't get its full signif-
canoe until you study the relative inan-
cial values of other "industrials," says
Franklin Forbes, in Success Magazine.
We find, for instance, that the total
value of gold. silver, wool and sheep
produced in America during the year IN
question was S272 434. 315. The sugar
production Of the country the same year
was but $2O.OOO.00O. That part of the
wheat crop used at home, which many
consider the most valuable of all our
agricultural products. was worth S229.-
100000. The great American hog, as
consumed at home and abroad. brought
$1S6.529. G3j. The value of the oat crop
was STS.9S4 900. Potatoes grown in the
United States were valued at nearly as
large a sum as were the oats. The prod
,uct of tobacco plantations was estimated
TO be worth $35.51J22J. Cotton, the de-
throned king of staples. could show only
$3.50. 16l $40. as against the magnificent
earnings OF its feathered rival. The
crops of flax. timothy. clover. millet and
cane seeds, broom corn. castor beans,
hay, straw and 50 forth, couldn't, all
told. come within measurably distance
of many millions Of the poultry earn
ings.
The hens eggs produced in this coun-
try annually would fill 43.127.OOO crates,
each of the latter holding 800 eggs; also
a train of refrigerator cars to carry these
eggs would be nearly 900 miles long.
Furthermore. it would take 1O7, S1S such
cars to make up this train.
