WELCOMED BACK
Coming Thro' the Rye" With ALMOST
a New Cast as Successful as Ever.

Coming thro' the rye" one OF those
refreshing musical comedies which oc
casionally are seen In North Adams
ecored its second hit in this city when
1t was presented at the Empire last
night
The company was entirely changed
from last year with three exceptions
Frank Lalor, as Mott, the tailor, was
again seen In the part as were also
Charles Wallace in the part of Eagles
feather, the Indian, and Carl Norti as
the Countess Christiana.
Sallie Stembler, who was In the part
OF Mrs. Knobb, the capitalist, the part
which Stella Mayhem played last year
followed the methods of the latter very
closely but the vein of real comedy
was lacking In her work. Dorothy
Bremen as Bessie Claude, the COW girl
who rode onto the. stage astride of her
milk white pony lacked the vocal
power to make her song go the way
1t should. She Is comparatively new
in the part and may improve with the
season. Margaret Taylor as Lizzette
sang well and danced better while Vim
cent Mccarthy as Macon Space hand
led the part i'm very satisfactory
manner Fred L. Tilden as Lord Bat
tersbee was unusually good In the
part.
or the work of Lalor little needs BIZ
said. He has been seen here twice be
fore and Is very funny man, havinl
the faculty of being funny with moth
ing to be funny over.
The part of Loletta, the model, wa!
played by Miss Major, who in the alb
sence of Miss Dunmore, whose nam,
appeared on the program, went on fo
the first time and carried the par
through without a hitch.
Sidney Toler as VanDyke Brown tn
artist. and Harry Burgess as william
Cactus Claude, the cowboy, were com
petent
Several of the songs were omtte
from the musical program of the frs
act because the people were not Their
to sing them.

temperature of 81 degrees, and when placed
IN the middle of cane field, where the
rays or the sun can reach 1t, will cause
fire that cannot be detected until 1t has
gained considerable headway Malicious
persons creep into a field at night, place
Sucks or phosphorus upon piles of dry
leaves and then sneak away, leaving the
tropic sun to finish their work.
1t is very difficult to detect and impossi-
BILE to prevent such attempts at arson, be-
cause the guilty person has plenty Of time

other places where he can establish an

Armed Patrols.
Armed guards are employed to patrol all
the large plantations night and day, but no
system could be devised that would furnish
complete protection, and few arrests are
ever made for cane burning. When a fire
occurs suspicion is at once directed toward
dissatisfied employees and If they guilty
they clear out of the neighborhood rap
idly as possible. Professional blackmailers
are always under surveillance by the police
but seldom do the act themselves. They
employ ignorant satellites to place the
candles or the phosphorus for them. The
payment of blackmail as q rule is effective
in securing protection, because the men
who accept it naturally do not want any
rivals in the field. 1t is for their interest
to discover and suppress competition and
therefore they punish and run OUT of the
country all incendiaries who do not belong
to their own bands. All planters and man
ayers of large estates also have amateur
detectives among their employees, who are
on the lookout for trouble, report disaf-
lection among the men and anticipate, &c
far as they can, any attempts to do dam
age.
Rural guards patrol the roads in the
neighborhood of the sugar estates and do

Fishing Shore "Cut OUT

The fishing shore recently opened on the
Potomac in King George county, Va, not
far from Smiths wharf, and operated by
Messrs. Dreifus & Robey of Alexandra. is
to "cut out" The shutting down of opera
lions is directly due to the heavy gale that
swept down the Potomac during the early
part of last week. While the gale was felt
at the other shores and caused little dam
age it was particularly severe at the King
George shore and practically put 1t out OF
business.
In speaking of the gale yesterday Mr..
Dreifus said that the force of the wind was
SO great as to dash the seine boats on the
beach and so badly inJure them as TO rem
der them useless, and to do other damage
that could not be repaired before the fish,
ing season was. over, so he will close down
operations at the shore. The sloop Stone
wall was lying at an Alexandria wharf yes
terday being made ready to send down to
the shore to bring back the fishing para
phernalia and to put everything In shape
to lie idle until another fishing season.

Most Of the plantations are owned by
foreigners and foreign corporations. The
Spaniards have the largest interests and
the Americans next. After them come ma
tive Cubans, Englishmen, Germans and
Frenchmen, in order. There is a popular
impression in the United States that the
sugar trust owns or controls the planting
industry in Cuba. This Is not true. The
Havemeyers and other individual members
of the trust own stock in several plantation
companies and the directors of the trust
are accustomed to make advances to In
divdual planters at the beginning of the
season in order to enable them to make
their crops This has been the custom for
several years, but so far as / can ascertain,
the trust an organization does not own

in instructions against the government.
This was particularly true during Spanish
when the insurgent forces were
made up very largely of cane burners and
banditti Under the republic the practice
was continued by politicians who. found it
profitable to maintain organizations OF igno-
rant and irresponsible negroes VINO would
carry out their orders and burn the cane
of planters who belonged to the opposite
party or who refused to contribute to the
funds of the organization to which they
belonged. Since the American occupation,
however. there has been very little cane
burning for political reasons. Several cases
have been investigated by the authorities,
who have found that the fires were either
of discharged employees or other malicious
persons.
Methods of Causing Fires.
There are three familiar methods of set
ting fire to cane fields. The first and most
rare is in imitation of Samson. Malicious
persons sometimes tie burning faggots to
the tails of rats, cats. dogs and other ami
mails and release them in the cane fields of
their enemies.
safer way is by lighted candles An in
cendiary will enter cane field after dark
with one more candles and, having Sc
lected a favorable place from which the
wind can carry the fame. will set his can
die in the ground. surround 1t with heaps
of dry leaves. light 1t and creep away. 1t
will REQUIRE an hour or so for the tallow to
burn down to the level of the leaves. and
by that time the culprit is miles distant and
the fire will spread rapidly I'm every direc-
ton Neither the fame nor the smoke can
be seen from plantation headquarters,
where everybody is asleep. and the destruc-
ton Is completed almost before 1t is dis
covered.
Another popular method is by the en-
ployment of pure phosphorus, which can be
purchased at the native drug stores In

OIL BURNERS ON ENGINES
Northwestern Railway OmciHIs Are
Pleased with Result of Trial
nj

LANDER, wyo., Jan. 22.-(Special)-Su-
perIntendent Catillon and other Northwest
ern officials have been here this week to
witness the trials of the recently equipped
oll-burning engine. All are very much
pleased with the result of the trials so far,
and while minor changes may be necessary.
It is certain that the oil burner will prove
a success. It is found that the engine
steams we'll with the new fuel and works
even better with a heavy load than with
a light one. II has been ascertained that
900 gallons of the oil will make the run
to Casper, which requires twelve tons of
coal in the ordinary engine. This coal
has to be hauled from Iowa, which would
make the oil worth as a fuel on that basis
more than 81 per barrel. Stationary tanks
have been built here to receive the oil
from the tank wagons as It is hauled from
the wells and tank cars carry the fuel. 1t
makes little or no smoke and is easily
handled and the fire easily controlled. 1t
will tighten the work of the engine crews
and the absence OF smoke will make II
more comfortable for passengers.
The company may be induced to sink
some test wells on its right-of-way here,
the probability Of their being able to strike
oil or gas having been called to the atten-
ton OF the officials by George w. Scott.
