Pipe Line Runs.

The pipe line runs in the Mid-Con-
,inent field for the first seven days Of
October averaged 62,976.06 barrels a
day. This was a gain over the daily
average for September Of ll,4lO.67
barerls day. The increase is ac-
counted for by the completioI' Of the
second Whiting pipe line.
The shipments in September aver
aged 2S,2O4.27 barrels a day, while
the FIRST week in October they we're
3s,2663O barrels. At the same time
more oil was stored in the field, the
September average being 23,353.02
barrels, while the October average so
far has been 24,7lO barrels, a gain
Of over 1000 barrels a day. These
figures will prove encouraging to the
producers.

Some years since there was nc
little excitement throughout the
South, caused by the announcement
that monkeys had been proved to be
wholly capable as cotton pickers and
of course much cheaper than native
labor. All sorts of stories were in the
air, some partly true and many wholly
false, until finally some newer and
later sensation relegated this one to
forgetfulness.

ENTERTAINM ENTS,
Hyperion Thenter.

The Shubert production of "Veron- ique, the Flower Girl" the great Lon don musical comedy success, with a thoroughly American cast, is to be giv- en for the first time at the Hyperion this and tomorrow evenings. Louise Cunning, the well-known cantatrice, is to sing the title role of the masquerad- ing sweetheart, while Louis Harrison is to enact the chief comedy part of the flower shop proprietor, into which char acter, 1t is needless to say, he will un- doubtedly inject a fresh and bountiful fund of genuine American footlight hu- mor. "Veronique" will be seen during the coming season in this city and will be a welcome attraction here, since it is credited with being an equisite gem of dainty music and picturesque grace. It enjoyed popularity in England equal to that of "Florodora," running for two years at the Apollo theater. Its story is. a graceful little love TO- nance of a court maid of honor in the pleasant days of Louis Phillipe in France, when all pleasure-loving Paris was in its most charming gaiety Helene de Solanges, being betrothed in formal court custom to the spendthrift young nobeman, Florestan de Valian- court accidentally discovers that hel fiance has been carrying on some viva cious flirtations with Mime. Coquenard and the pretty flower girls at her shop Helene pretends to be one of these CO quettish maids and goes with them al upon farewell bachelor picnic giver by prospective bridegroom. Of course all ends happily, the sparkling little TO- nance being unfolded in three acts which depict the gay flower shop, the sylvan picnic grounds just outside oi Paris and the reception room in the Tuileries.

THE SOCIAL MH1RI.

When Violet Dare, the Broadway fla vorite," dashes into the center of the closing stage picture of "The Social Whirl," at full speed and with a leap that suggests the probability of a whip behind the audience gasps a little, but probably few of those who see the act realize just how much trouble it Is to find horse that will perform the feat without upsetting the closely crowded and waiting chorus. There is so much difference in horses that the handsome cream-c colored animal in this case is q full travelling member of the company which will present the latest musical comedy success under Shubert manage ment at the Hyperion next Monday and Tuesday evenings,
 Theatrical innovations are full of an- imal stories, but the Tales of the Horse" which have been recognized as literary asset by Mark Twain, occupy their full share of the history When "Gallops" was first produced at the Garrick theater in New York the horse in the piece did an ungraceful thing by leaping clean over the footlights Into the orchestra, with an evident de- sire to play bass fiddle. The animal was extricated, but it required more time and argument to quiet the orches- tra than it did the audience. In "The Hunchback" a mule took the place of the hore in adding to the gaiety of na- tions and to the confusion of the actors The lines refer to Clifford, " and in the middle of a long talk about the absent one the mule let out bray that would have done credit to the most preten- tious auto horn. It just happened that the immediately succeeding line was: " Twas Cliffords voice, if Clifford ever spoke" Ia Way Down East" there was COW that exhibited such a deter mined disposition to jump over the footlights that it finally became neces- sary, for the comfort of the stage hands and the gravity of the scene, to substi- tute another beef
