Lecture by Rev. DIR. Henson.

DR.. Henson of fremont Temple, Bos-
ton, will deliver bis delightful lecture
Cracks of Tenderfoot" at Music Hall
Tuesday evening, January 80. Any
praise or advertising Of DR.. Henson as
lecturer seems almost superfuous. He
is known and loved all over the country.
Those OF our people who heard DR.. Hen
son when he came here from Chicago
several years ago will be glad OF this
opportunity of renewing acquaintance
with this wonderful man who was call
ed one of the most famous orators Of
Chicago.
The newspapers from every section Of
the country unite in heartiest praise of
this great orator. The Topeka Capital
says: "Dr. Henson was witty. dramatic.
humorous, pathetic, eloquent and
irresistible. His fun was wholesome, his
wit keen, his humor convulsive, and he
captivated his audience from the word
go"
The st. Louis Globe Democrat says
she is a second edition OF Abraham
Lincoln, more polished and graceful.
but with essentially the same sort
of presence and intellect"
The Omaha Herald says: "Dr. P. S.
Henson spread rich repast OF pungent
wit, wisdom and humor before brilliant
audience last night. He is born
humorist, yet capable ofrising to heights
OF brilliant eloquence. He is not stately
in form or imposing in manner, but just
natural and taking in high degree. 1t
does not seem possible that a shaft OF
his sarcasm should ever be directed at
helpless object. He is full of love for
humanity and pity for the fallen, but
the way he lashes hypocrites and ex-
poses shams is something refreshing to
hear"
Tickets are now on sale fcr this lecture
and the committee have placed the price
of seats within the reach of everyone so
that DR.. Henson may be greeted with a
crowded house.

Money in the Cotton Stalk.
n. O. States.

What in the near future promi-
ses to add greatly to the wealth of
the South is the discovery of a
process by which paper and bag
ging for cotton bales can be man.
ufactured from the fiber of cotton
stalks. We are told that experts
have been at work for the past two
years solving the practical features
of the problem. and that their la
bors are to be rewarded with
striking success. When this in
vention has been placed in opera
ton in the South by the establish
ment of a number of paper mills
and bagging factories, it is esti-
mated that the value Of the cotton
crop will be increased $5O,OOO,OOO
annually to tie cotton growers.
The manufacture of paper and
bagging from cotton stalks means
the profitable utilization of a here
tofore waste product. In making
note of the new invention the Cot
ton Journal says:
at has already been demonstra-
ted by practical experiment that
the fibre of the whole cotton plant,
including the stalk and limbs, is
almost as strong as the fibre of the
flax plant. This will prove inter-
esting and valuable news to those
cotton planters of the South who
each year are forced to expend SO
much time aud labor in getting the
dead stalks of the previous crop
out of the way for the planting OF
the new crop. With the establish
ment of paper mills throughout the
South for the purpose of convert
ing this heretofore waste product
into a valuable and useful CON-
mercial commodity, the growers
will not receive cost of labor for
removing the stalks from their
fields, but a profit from the new
industry as we'll. The samples of
paper already made from the fibre
of the dead stalks has proven to
be stronger aud better paper made
from wood pulp. and it as strong
and durable as linen paper. The
wood pulp paper mills cannot sue.
cessfully compete with the cotton
stalk paper mills owing to the
cheapDess with which Ne stalks
can be secured and the better class
of material they turn out"
More than s2OO,OOO,OOO are in
vested in the paper manufacturing
of the United States, but nearly
all the mills are located i'm the Eas
and the Northwest where the raw
material used is the spruce pine
which grows in those sections
However, it is believed that the re
cent discovery of the value Of cot
ton stalk fiber will result in tn,
development of new industry il
the South, which will bring abou
I the investment of much idle CAPT
tai and add many millions of dol
lars to the wealth of this section
2 country.
