 The American League season opens this afternoon with Connie Mack's team at Washington and Collins Bos- tons on Clark Griffith's grounds at New York. The Western teams of that League don't open until Tuesday. when Chicago is at Detroit and Cleveland at St. Louis, The American Associa- lantic Monday and Cotton States next Thursday.
 The fans of Montgomery have always had confidence in Roy Hale iron irn the ed him loose two years ago. The smil- ing pitcher is new man this season. Becoming Benedict seems to have steadied him and he has forsaken his old time habits. He seems to have started out this year to show the Mont gomery fans how he appreciates their confidence in him and all indica. tions point to the fact that he will not only pitch the best ball of his career but will be one of the star pitchers Of this league Here's luck to him.
 Durrett has taken Red" Ehret. the sterling old pitcher of other days to Atlanta with him to fill in, should ne cessity require such Ehret is of the opinion that after a years rest the old arm that was for ten years terror to the best batters of the world Is again in pitching shape. If such is the case the Climbers have a sturdy background to fall back on. With the exception of Rusie there was no better pitcher in the business than Red in the olden days and his work as an umpire last season showed that he has that dual- ity worth all the others in a ball play er-honesty. Ehret is a splendid good fellow and if he can make good the Montgomery fans would welcome him into the ranks of the Climbers. The showing made by the Climbers in Atlanta has been better than even the most rabid fan could have expect ed. To begin with, Atlanta has been working all the spring on grass dia-
 mond. while the Climbers have been working on a skin diamond. Then again Atlanta is playing before home crowd with all the encouragement Ss1ci- dent while the Climbers have all the disadvantages of playing before an diamond to contend with. Notvsitn- staning this they have fought out three fierce games. losing the first two by one run and tieing, the third in thirteen innings. In the three games the Climbers have made twenty-three hits to Atlanta's twenty-one. If they keep this up all the season they will win lots more than they loso.
 And it was on Friday. the 18th. and there were thirteen innings-how is that?

At Benning.


 Washington. April 13.-The feature of the day at Benning was the riding of Jockey Miller. He had a mount in every event, winning the last five races and finishing third in the first. The handicap at a mile which was offered as the sixth event. was the best race of the afternoon. Speculation on 1t was heavy, as good prices were obtainable against all of the starters. Every one of them was played, each having a following. At the rise of the barrier Miller took Sailor Boy out to the front and he was in no danger afterward

AT GARRICK NEXT WEEK..

Lena Ashwell the famous London
actress who scored such d triumph this
summer in her latest and greatest foot
light creation of the Boer wife De-
borah, in the heart-stirring drama Of
TFansvaal life entitled The Shuham-
ite," has for many seasons been recog-
nized as one Of the finest emotional
actresses on the English speaking
stage. To American followers of dra-
matte affairs on both sides of the At
lantic she is probably best known
as the original London creation of
those two intensely dramatic roles
which our stage has been able to give
to the modern British stage-the char
acters Of 70 San in The Darling Of the
Gods" and Leah Kleschna." A full
view OF Miss Ashwells brilliant
achievements in emotional art would
be TO name many of the most celebrated
successes of John Bulls play houses
since 1891, when she first made her
debut in The Pharisee,' with George
Alexander she appeared in Lady Vim
dermeres Fan" Her initial engage
ment with Sir Henry Irving was in
1893 as Elaine in the sumptuous pro-
duction of King Arthur" and she was
pronounced an artistic favorite with
the Lyceum Knight. With Irving she
played in Richard II and also origin
ated the parts of Pia and Geona in Sar-
dou's Dante" Beerbohm Tree spec
tally secured her to create the role of
Katusha Masiova in Resurrection" It
was she, too, who electrified all Lon
don play goers by her wonderful por-
travail of the unhappy Magdalene in
Henry Arthur Jones' moving play.
Mrs. Danes Defense" Her interview
scene with the judge, in which she im-
plored for mercy and pity in her new
life's love crisis, was the supreme SEN
sation of the London theatrical year of
1900 The Messrs. Schubert have been
extremely fortunate in securing her
consent to an American tour, just now
when she has seemingly found an even
more striking role of emotional tri-
umph in The Shulamite"

CoIors of the Bluebird.

OF the male bluebird Thoreau said,
He carries the sky on his back" To
this John Burroughs added, land the
earth on his breast" The birds back,
wings and tail, chin and throat are
vivid blue, while his breast and TANKS
are a chestnut brown and his abdomen
a dirty white. The female is very much
duller in coloring, often having a red
dish tone that extends from the middle
Of the back over the shoulder. The
Seminole Indians say that the male
bluebird once flew so high that his
back rubbed against the sky, which
impaired to him its own azure tint
Returning to earth, his wife so admired

sign of a Trained Nurse.

Il used to wonder why it was that I
noticed so many young women Juggling
suit cases all over town" said the man
on the street corner. "At first thought
perhaps they were independent young
persons who were on their way to the
Grand Central station or to the ferry
boats to take trains. but then / no
ticed them in parts of the town where
they couldn't possibly be making for
a railroad station, since they were go
ing in the wrong directions. Now /
have learned who these women are
Most of them are trained nurses. When
they leave the hospitals or their homes
to attend a case they pack their uni
forms and other necessaries in these
suit cases, which they carry with
them. So when you see u young wom-
an carrying a suit case and bound In a
direction away from boat or railroad
station it's very likely she's a trained
nurse and is either starting out to at
tend a case or is returning from one"

BEN-HUR OPENS TONIGHT.

Preparations for a vastly greater
Ben Hur" than that which was pre-
sented to the Chicago public in the
Auditorium theater some twenty
months ago have been under way for
some time past. The resulting pro-
duction viii be revealed tonight in
that playhouse and the performance
viii mark the beginning of the seven
teenth week and the one hundred and
thirty-seventh enactment of the Wal
lace romance in this city. Ben Hur''
as arranged and staged by the Klaw &
Erlanger company is marvellous piece
of stagecraft and no theater in America
furnishes such opportunities for a coll
ossal presentation as does the Chicago
auditorium. The city of Jerusalem,
the interior OF the Roman gallery. the
raft of Ben Hur bufeted by the angry
waves ia mid ocean aud the rescue are
all strangely realistic. The tent of the
Arabian shiek Ilderim glows with bar
barrie splendor and the scene on the
moon-lit lake in the orchard of palms
where the beautiful Iras reclines in
her barge and drifts down the silyery
waters are beautiful spectacles.
The scene Of all scenes however, is
the miracle on the Mount of olives
with which the performance termin-
ates. 1t shows the reunion of the
prince Of Hur with his mother and sis
ter after the passing of Christ
into Jerusalem. The mother and sister
who have been affiicted with leprosy.
have been cleansed by the Nazarene
and they are surrounded by wonder
ing multitude who sing praises TO Jesus
OF Nazareth. In this incident of the
drama Christ does not appear as q per-
sonality. The music introduced in this
scene is equal to that heard in grand
opera. AS the curtain falls the chorus
or several hundred voices chants This
is Jesus OF Nazareth" while the great
orchestra renders the theme, The Star
of Bethlehem"
The interpreting cast includes A. H
Van Buren, as Sen Hur; John Ince, Jr.,
Messiah; Robert McWade, Simonides j;
Henry Weaver, Shiek Ilderim: Chas
Riegel. Balthasar; Helen Singer. Iras
Mabel Brownell, Esther; Blanche Ken
dali, Tirzah; Margaret Dills. the mother
OF Hur, and Stella Ranifaes wearer,
Amrah.

Ants a. Guests of Plants.

The ants which are really protective
to plants are not those which obtain
their food. indirectly for the most part
through the aphides. from the vegeta-
bic kingdom, but those which are real
~ carnivorous. These are numerous l..
temperate climates. and their useful
ness to agriculture and sylviculture is
ineontestable Thus the field ant is a
great insect destroyer. A nest of this
species is capable of destroying as
many as twenty-eight caterpilIars and
grasshoppers a minute, or 1,600 an
hour, and such d colony is at work
day and night during the pleasant
season. In the arid plains of America
the beneicent work of ants is revealed
in the isles of verdure around their
hills. There are plants hospitable to
ants, which furnish them shelter and
often food, within the cavities of which
the instincts of the ants prompt them
to take their abode This is the case
with several ferns, among them the
Polypodium nectariferum, the sterile
fronds OF which bear hectares on their
lower face and are. moreover, of a
shape favorable to sheltering the in

WAX TAPERS.
Made Today as They Were In the
Seventeenth Century.

Made Today as They Were In the
Seventeenth Century.
In the manufacture of wax matches
are known as rats de cave cellar rats
the method introduced into France by
Pierre Blesmaire in the middle of the
seventeenth century is still in use.
The method is practiced today in the
Carriere factory at Bourg lac Rine,
near Paris. The cords of which the
wick is composed pass into a basin of
melted wax heated by a small furnace,
from which they are drawn through a
perforated plate to q large wooden
drum which is turned slowly by hand.
The operation is repeated two or three
times. the size of the hole through
which the cord passes being increased
each time When the waxed cord has
attained the required size it is wound
on large reels in skeins Of 400 or 500
meters (about 1900 feet, which are
boxed and shipped to wholesalers. 1t
is also furnished in lengths Of from
three to ten meters (ten to thirty-three
feet, folded as often as may be re-
quired for convenient packing. These
tapers are now used chiefly by wine
merchants and by sections in lighting
church candles.
The very short and thick candles,
called veilleuses, or night candles, are
composed of d mixture Of wax and
stearin. The holding machine differs
considerably from the apparatus used
for ordinary candles, although the prin-
ciple of the operation is unchanged
After the little candles have cooled
the attendant removes them from the
molds and conveys them TO women,
who put them in tin cups, which pre-
vent the escape of melted wax during
combustion, and pass them TO other
women, who label and pack them.

The world as 1t Is.

A world without mistakes and with
out suffering would be world without
real men and women, without litera-
ture, without music, without painting
or sculpture and without love, and
even without history, for history is a
record of struggles toward better and
higher things. Without obstacles to
overcome and errors to correct men
and women would lapse to a level with
beasts In mentality. Intellectual and
spiritual development would cease and
souls not refined by the fire of ordeals
would die of something akin to fatty
degeneration. The races would perish
of ennui or inanity. After all, it's a
pretty fair sort of world as 1t stands.
