The Majestic theatre was full last
night when Albert Taylor and his own
company of accomplished players OPP
ened a three nights engagement with
a production of Peaceful Valley The
play was full of human interest and
put on in such a manner as to
appeal to the artistic sense of the
most exacting. The general verdict
was that it was a splendid show. "A
Southern Romance" is the bill for to-
night, and night the compa-
ny concludes with "A Poor Relation"

Mr.. Taylor is acclaimed by press and public as the only man
who has ever successfully followed Mr.. Sol Smith Russell. The

a better cast than the one now supporting Mr.. Taylor, and that

Day in the leading role. The perform
ance was arranged especially in honor of
Washingtons birthday. A large atten-
dance of school children. college students
and others is anticipated
when Knighthood Was in Flower has
done a remarkable business so far this
week. Many people desiring tickets were
turned away from the box office at the
matinee yesterday afternoon. and every
scat was sold for the performance last
night. The play is being presented to
capacity business. 1t IS believed that the
matinee scheduled for this afternoon will
be one of the largest yet recorded this
season. The play has made great hit
with the matinee crowds, although the
audiences at night fill the house.
Anna Day and her company give an ex-
eellent performance. The attraction as
whole is one that is rarely If ever seen

TRADE CONDITIONS
ARE ENCOURAGING
Mills and Factories Keep Their
Machinery Busy
FARM STAPLES STEADY
Large Orders for Cotton Goods-De-
peted Stocks Provide Element
of Strength In the
Spot Markets.
FARM STAPLES STEADY

New York, February Pr G. Dun &
Cos weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Weather conditions have been favorable
for trade and transportation in most Sec
tions, but a few adverse reports are still
received and total transactions again
felt the curtailing influence of a holiday
AT the large cities there is a good attep-
dance of interior merchants or their rep
resentatives, producing much activity in
5obbng circles, notably those dealing in
dry goods, millinery and other distinctive
1y spring lines. Mercantile collections are
improving, but some complaints are heard
regarding extensions. especially from
points that experienced greatest Interrupt
tion to traffic by recent storms.
Industrial returns are uniformly en-
couraging, mills and factories having so
much business in sight that no machinery
is idle except in cases where fuel deliv-
cries are unsatisfactory, or the labor sup
oily inadequate. Farm staples are fairly
STEADY in price, liberal foreign purchases
precuding any possibility of excessive
stocks to be carried over from last years
large crops, and preparations for the new
season promise another big acreage in
grain and cotton.
New contracts for steel products are
constantly pending, much foreign business
competing with domestic orders Some ir-
regularity is noted in the extent to which
capacity Is engaged in advance, due il
part to seasonable influence, but all de-
partments are sufficiently sold ahead to
prevent any eagerness for additional con-
tracts Consequently prices are well main-
uained. Abnormally severe weather has
made deliveries so cratic that much COM
plaint Is heard, and stocks of fuel at
mills and furnaces are often so low that
fun activity is impossible, but these in
sluences only tend to promise more bus
sness later, as delayed contracts are sell
dom lost.
OF most interest in the textile market
Is the increased attendance of outside BUY
ers in the jobbing centers, and there Is
plso definite improvement in demand at
first hands. Larger orders have been
rlaced for cotton goods, and quotations
show more strength. Depleted stocks pro-
vide an abnormal element of strength In
the spot market, private premiums being
often paid that are far above published
hist oqlotations. Jobbers have done a
larger business than anticipated, and in
consequence are eager to secure deliveries.

of her greatest successes. In addition TO
this she also gives limitations OF SOU

HAPPINESS WITHIN ONES SELF.

Blessing are far more broadcast than
we are conscious of. We are slow to
see them. They are so over Swallowed by
the desire of selfish nature. Too much
time is given to counting our disappoint-
ments and relating them to others, the
same moments spent in gratitude for the
bounty of fortune would increase our
happiness No creature is entirely be-
reft of all that is good in life-we al
have the same God, the same sunshine
Opportunities fit by while we are look
ing on the dark side of life. 1t is a
crime to throw away one hour in dis
content when we can find SO much in life
to arouse our better nature. On the
crowded streets did you ever scan closely
the features of passersby, and count
how many more serious faces than smii-
ing Try it once. and you will bear in
mind the fact that a cheerful counten-
anee brightens others, cordial greeting
gives a pleasure.
The days age life fits by too quick
ly moi 10 pluck every fragrant blossom.
the full blown flowers will follow. Just 50
ones happiness is secure when nature
recognizes that each in turn have their
veal or woe, and each are magniied ac-
eording TO training, or habit of nature.

offer shorter line by at least five hours
than from Cincinnati through Nashville
