Course Opens With a Great Play.
william owen in Shakespeare's Romeo
and Juliet.

This seasons Star Course committee
believe that the best entertainments are
the most successful and are putting their
belief to the test by arranging for six of
the highest quality attractions in each OF
their respective classes. They also call
attention to the greatly varied charac-
ters of the entertainments selected
Detailed advertisement appears in
another column.
The first number is certainly an ino-
walton. When before have we had a
nlav of Shakespeare produced by COM
netent company in st. Johnsbury? 1t
has been limited that this and some of
the other attractions in this course were
a little too good, too high class to be
successful in St. Johnsbury but we think
not. A Shakespearean play should draw
q crowded house here once in decade
certainly. William Owen and his COM
panv having been together for nine years,
playing Romeo and Juliet, The Lady of
LYONS and Othello, their reputation is
established, and the management offers
this splendid attraction with the assur-
ance that he is personally acquainted
with Mr.. Owen and other members of
the company, and can vouch for their
fitness, morally, socially and intellec-
tually. All necessary arrangements are
being made so that the scenery and
stage settings of this beautiful play may
be adapted to the stage in Music Hall
and the play may be produced here on
Nov. 9th as satisfactorily as in city
theatre.
Space does not permit of mentioning
the other attractions of the course, ex-
cept to say that for variety and general
excellence they seem to leave nothing to
be wished for. 1t will undoubtedly
prove a very successful course.

Let the South Help Itself:

Perhaps it is necessary to their
peace of mind that the newspapers
should all take a fling at the Chicago
packers. One derives a sense of vir-
tue from the act Of hurting apathema
at the wicked. The Pharisees of old
used to have a great time at that
| game, and their modern imitators
are not thinning out with time.
1t seems in order to say, however,
that at least Southern towns, cities,
and communities have no right 10
complain. II AT n time they have
suffered, either in their stomachs or
their pockets, because of the high
price Or the unwholesome character
of Chicago meat products, they have
only themselves to blame. There has
never been the smallest reason why
they should not feed themselves from
their " herds, fioci1s. fields, dair-
les, and Harnyards. The South is
ricn in farming and grazing lands.
and the inhabitants thereof can raise
beef cattle, sheep, hogs. poultry and
vegetables of the very finest quality
and in unlimited quantity il they
choose. Why need they go TO Chica-
go, Kansas City, Omaha. or any other
distant market for food which the
can produce themselves? And if
they persist i'll 4 policy so unncces-
sary aad so ilap-oFident, they might
have the grace TO realiza hat it is
their fault, and refrain from con
demnation of others. The pastures
of the South can tur2 out as good
beef and mutton as the stockyarGs of
Chicago can. Southern farms are
capable of furnishing as high class
butter, milk, eggs, etc. as any farms
in Iowa or Kansas. Why, then, do
not the Southern people help them
selves instead OF calling upon Her.

London. Just getting over the
shock OF the terrible railroad catas-
trophe at Salisbury, England was
Mortified to read that the crowded
Scotch express train on the Great
Northern Railway; from London, was
wrecked at> midnight outside of
Grantham, a railroad junction twen-
ty-three miles southwest of Lincoln.
The train should ,have stopped at
Grantham, but failed to do SO.
Shortly after passing the station
n train left the rails and jumped a
bridge. The engine and several
coaches were dashed over the en-
bankment, the engine turning turtle.
SeveraI ach Immediately took fire.
There are many passengers be-
meath the debris. OF ten e~xtricated,
hve have died. The number of lives
lost is mot known, but is believed to
be large. Many were injured.
The coaches caught fire and the
hre brigade was called out. =
At h spot where the express was
derailed there is q curve. aud-1it ia
supposed the brakes failed TO act.
The train appears to have gone up a
siding, smashing the parapet of the
bridge, which was completely shat
tered.
A later report states that the engi-
neer and fireman are dead under the
engine, that the superintendent of
mail car is missing and that seven
injured persons have been taken to
the hospital.
D O'CLOCK 4. u. it was officially
stated that ten. persons had been
killed and sixteen injured.

that the fire was we'll under control.

The Pest of Red Ants.

When a country house is low and
the pantry on the first or ground
floor the housekeeper is apt to be
greatly troubled with the little red
ant known as monomorium phara-
onis.<
Their nests in the walls OF the
house or beneath the flooring are
often difficult to reach. yet the head
quarters of the marauders must be
located if permanent respiteS from
their ra"ages is obtained. If the nest
Is in the wall it is often possible to
locate it by following the workers
back to their place of entrance. In
this case they may sometimes be
reached by injecting bisulphide of
carbon. Kerosene can also be forced
in through a long necked can. If
the trouble is in the floor it is some
times possible to get to them by TAX
ing up a section of the flooring.
If their stronghold is q little hill
near the foundations of the house a
kettle of boiling water or kerosene
poured in the opening will exter-
inmate them. An abundance OF cold
water applied with the garden hose
on a lawn will discourage permanent
residence. Meanwhile invest in the
purest, strongest cayenne pepper you
can find in the market. Sprinkle
thoroughly on all pantry shelves near
the edges or under the oilcIoth or
paper e Before using the cay
enne scald the shelves with boiling
water and wipe dry. This scalding
and treating with cayenne may have
to be repeated several times before
making an effectual clearance. Often
the window stills leading into pantry
or dining room from outside will be
found in the track of travel and re-
Quire the cayenne treatment also.
AS a further discourager to entrance
move your sugar box Or barrel to a
new place for a while. This seems
to puzzle the invaders and balk their
plans. Some housewives place sau-
GERS of kerosene under table legs, but
this is apt to catch the skirts when
moving about and is not advisable if
any other means can be devised.
Lord Avebury, an authority on in
sects, doubts If there is any infallible
for ants beyond trapping them
or destroying their nests. For the
former a moist sponge dipped in
or molasses makes an alluring
trap. Twice a day, when full of ants,
this is to be dropped in a bucket of
boiling water.-Emma Paddock Tel
ford, in the New York Telegram.

Spot Cash.

That has got to be the motto OF
the farmer If he ever salts down any
very great amount of money as the
result of his business. Too many of
us have been in the habit OF trading
off our butter. eggs and other farm
produce to- the man who 'keepS
store" at the corner. The conse-
quence is that he not only keeps the
store, bdt he keeps about all the
profit there is in what We raise. He
gets a good margin on the stuff he
buys of us and makes a fair speck
on the calico and the sugar and the
tobacco we take home.
Now, l want this margin of profit
myself, and sc I say to the grocery-
man: You pay me a fair price for
what l bring you to sell and / will
do h same by you. If you will not
do that, I will hunt up some one who
will. I am not obliged to let you
have my stuff. can send j. a hun
dred miles away to market ii l can
get a better price than you will give
me, and 1 will do it. too. This talk
about patronizing the home market
is not what tits cracked up to be al
ways. Let's get this thing down to
a cash basis and see how things will
work then"
And I know how it will work.
There will be more and better things
in the house to eat and wear, and we
will have q great deal more money
to jingle in our pockets than when
we are going on with this old trade
system. And the store-keepers will
be better Off, too. That's another
good thing about it. They will have
a better lire of goods, and sell more
oil them. Lets try this and see.

s;Iack Root or Cotton Wilt.

Many complaints are already
reaching Us concerning the -ravage
OF this disease, which is yearly prov
ing disastrous in our sandy sections
and which is destined to increase its
ravage from year to year, unless in
telligent methods are adopted to stay
It. The cotton affected begins to
wilt or die, without any apparent
cause; but if you pull !up a stalk
and cut into the root or stem, you
will e it has begun to grow black,
and hence the name of black root.
1t is caused by 4 fungus that is III
the soil and which attacks the roots
and checks or destroys the flow of
sap to the top of the plant. There
are two remedies. The first and most
effective lies in rotation Of crops.
We have been planting cotton con-
tinuously too long on lands.
Fields affected with this disease
should be planted next year in corn
or oats and velvet beans. Do not
plant in cow-peas, as this disease also
feeds upon the cowpea, and will sur
vive in the soil. But If planted in
corn, wheat. oats or velvet beans the
fungus will perish out more Or less
completely for lack of food. 1t has
also been found beneficial to plant
&c .tor on such lands late, not earlier
than she first OF May. The second
remedy is to secure cottouseed of q
