First American Theatrical Company.

David BeIasco, in Success Magazine.
William Hallam has been called the father
of the American stage, title he does not
deserve inasmuch he was merely the
hacker of the enterprise that his brother
Lewis was to manage. The same William
Hallam was the manager of the Goodman
Fields Theater, in London, where David
Garrick made his debut, In 1741. We are
told that the first permanent American
company was formed on the sharing plan.
The number of shares was fixed at eight
Gen. There were twelve adult performers,
including the manager, and each performer
was allowed a share. Lewis Hallam had
another share as manager and share was
allowed to his three children, the remaining
four shares being for the profit of the back
err for the use of his money. A company
willing to agree to the terms was enlisted.
the plays were selected and the parts were
assigned. The pieces chosen were those
that were most popular on the London stage
at that time, and many of them continued
to be played by the American company from
1862 down to the revolution.
At Williamsburg, In the Virginia colony
on September 5. 1852, Lewis Hallam pro-
duced, for the first time in America, THE
Merchant of Venice" The building which
was used for a theater was in the suburbs
of the town, and 1t Is said that 1t stood SO
near the woods that the manager often
stood In his door and shot pigeons for din
ner. There was no orchestra for this oc-
casion, but Mr.. Pelham, who gave lessons
on the harpsichord in the town, was en-
gagged with his instrument to supply the
music. The performance began with a pro-
1ogue. AS 1t was the first composition that
is preserved written for and addressed to an
American audience 1t is looked upon today
as curiosity.

The Humber.
From the London Chronicle.

The Humber Is proud river today: he

self. Things have not been going well with
the great estuary lately, and the experts
are now to be called In. The Humber. since
the ancient king Of that name fell into the
river and was drowned has always given
himself airs. His name, however, Is really
of baser origin, and a mere corruption Of
"aber," the confluence OF tho waters. Then
the Humber cannot be considered as a pa
triotic river, for he gave free entrance to
the hostile fleets of Morse kings ON four oc-
casions. But his browning aet Of malice
was to swallow up the ancien. port of RAJ
venspur, where Henry ~ landed in $780, It
will be the business of the commission
which proposes to sit upon hia to subdue
his appetite in this direction.

the pain OF the thieves who were crucined
was the juice OF the mandrake. 1t was
probably the same wine or vinegar that
was put upon the sponge and offered to
Christ upon the cross. AS early as the
twelfth century the Chinese used cannibis
indicae to- relieve pain. The first use OF
ether as an anesthetic in a surgical opera
ton was In 1912 by DR.. Crawford w. Long
of Georgia. In 1915 DR.. Morton made q
public demonstration of the use of sui
phuric ether. administering it to man
upon whom DIR. J. Collins Warren perform
ed an operation, and the patient recovered.
Chloroform was discovered by Prof Won
Lefbig and by Soiiberin, working indepen-
IDENTIFY, in 1881. but was not used as an
anesthetic until after ether had been intro
duced. Then came nitrous oxide and CO.
caine, and now we have the newest and
what possibly may prove the best and most
harmless general neutrality-suspicious.

At all these afternoon functions con-
Versation plays an important part. To find
something that is really worth while to say
to dozen or fifteen people In the space of
fifteen or twenty minutes is not an easy
matter. Remarks to the hostess should be
brief and consist of a simple expression OF
the artistic decorations of her rooms tho
beauty OF the flowers she is wearing or
her own attractive appearance. 1t is n
great mistake to talk about personal in
terests unless the hostess makes a point
or fnqufring into them. Make her and her
surroundings the center Of attraction
rather than yourself
This rule holds good also for the casual
meeting with other friends or new ac-
quaintances. The latest book or the popu-
lar play or recent musical happenings
which are fresh In peoples minds afford
the best topics OF conversation. Deeper
subjects than these or discussions of pri-
vate AFFAIRS are not In keeping with after
noon functions which are as hurried and
superficial as the modern crowded recep-
ton. %

New Anesthetic an Alkaloid.

This new anesthetic agent, scopolamine'
is an alkaIoid obtained from Scopolia Jap
onca or Scopola carniolica, one of the fam
lily of solanaceae, from which atropia and
other familiar alkaloids are obtained.
Scopolamlne has been known and used
number of years as powerful mydriatic In
dilating the pupil of the eye and as seda-
tive, but only recently has 1t been known
to have anesthetic properties. In 1880
Schmidt extracted scopolamine from the
Scopolia Japonica plant, and it was used
as a sedative for the insane and as a my
driatic by ophthalmologists in solution or
one-tenth to one-fifth per cent. In 1900
SchneiderIin combined it with morphine
and used it to produce general surgical an
esthesa but it does not appear to have
met with favor until 1903, when numerous
German surgeons began to use 1t and pub
lished their results. 1t was first admins

A late Topeka press dispatch says:
After appointing a committee Of
three to hold a conference with the
management of the Santa Fe re-
garding the calling off of the strike
at the various shops of the company.
the delegates to the annual conven-
tion of district forty-one association
of machinists. adjourned until Mon
day morning.
The action of the convention in
appointing conference committee
is taken here as indicating that the
union is willing to abandon the
strike if the strikers will be taken
back by the company. The districts
represent local unions at all the
shops on the Santa Fe system.

The greatest sugar beet harvest
in the history of the valley will be
on in about two weeks. Provided
of course that heavy rain does not
come in the meantime. And this is
not likely as the harvest season is
generally ideal in this section. The
local crop is now maturing with i'm
mense tonnage in sight. and If it can
be delivered from field to factory
this will be the greatest sugar max
ing campaign in the history of Sugar
City.
Through the courtesy Of Mr..
George Ingalls,. agricultural super
intendent, and Messrs. John O'COn-
mel and Jas. Close. we were treated
to ride through the beet fields
north and west Of town last Satur-
day. We saw many fields which.
considering their size, we believe are
the best in the state of Colorado.
not only in tonnage but in sugar
content and purity. Beets tested
this week show a sugar content Of
II and ia per cent. If the present
fair weather continues many fields
Of beets will show Is and 10 per cent
At the commencement of the harvest.
