proctor,s-Mnr.haII p. wilder.

As an individual entertainer. Marshall P.
Wilder. who is heading the bill at Proc
tors Theatre this week. is a strong draw
ing card. He Is an artist In his manner of
bringing out the humor Of a funny story.
The ones he told last night were good and
they were told with such delightful effect
that the audience was genuinely sorry
there weren't more of them.
. But the greatest amount OF applause was
won last night by the Fadette Women's
Orchestra, a full band Of twenty young
women. all clad In white and led by Miss
Caroline b. Nichols. The fair musicians
occupied the boards for thirty minutes,
rendering various classical selections with
most pleasing effect. When they reached
the Grand American Fantasia, a combina-
tion of patriotic airs. the audience was
almost brought to its feet.
Another highly entertaining number was
a one-act drama. by Alfred Sutro. the
Noted English playwright. called "a Maker
of Men," presented by Harrison Hunter
and Margaret Fealy. The act must be wit
messed to be appreciated. 1t has real liter
airy merit and is well acted. 1t tells a
story of the love of husband and wife
tried out and not found wanting in the
stress of unfortunate worldly circum-
stances. It's theme that there are bigger
things in the world than money and posi-
ton was unobtrusively and most eff
fectively worked out.
The rest of the Program was up to the
standard, including Stevenson and Nugent,
sidewalk comedians: George Watson and
Florence Little. In n 'skit, "a Matrimonial
Bargain;'' Catherine Nugent, who imi-
tates comic opera stars. and the Piroscof-
fs, a troupe of jugglers.

Orange Theatre tonight is the muslrel
comedy Gay New York" which ON for
mer visits at that house has always
brought out well pleased audiences.
This musical comedy IS said TO possess
large opportunities for scenic 1isplay and
picturesque tableaux, together witt lyrics
and music OF a catchy description. Its
story is said to contain many lauShable
situations.

prompt him to do as well as he knows
how. The farmer, above all else. should
have the courage of his own convictions,
and if he ewould do things rs well as he
knew how: IL he would do less and do that
better. there is no debut but that he would
live in a more healthy atmosphere, and,
Furthermore, he would have more real
profits.
Did you ever stop and consider what a
blessing 1t would be if on the morrow
every cow owner would dispose of all the
cows he owns that he is thoroughly salts
fed are not yielding milk at a profit? what
an army of culls would arrive at our stock
yards within a week and surely the can
ming factories would have to put on a
night force, and even then they would be
overworked. 1t Is safe to estimate that
80 per cent. of the milch cows in New
Jersey are below the 5000 mark; this
means that we have many thousands OF
COW boarders that are playing the part OF
a mill stone around the dairyman's neck
He may float for a time, but 1t is only a
question of how long he will hold out.
Surely one or the other must fail, and let
us hope that 1t will be the COW that sinks
rather tina her owner. He can dispose OF
her easier today than tomorrow, and the
sooner the better. Gust the boarders and
feed the high-priced feed to cows that have
individuality, milk making machinery and
dairy conformation Results will surely
follow.
Lat summer and early fall usually finds
| the pigs most susceptible to swine plague,
cholera, etc, simply because the owners
take no precautions to insure health and
continued growth in the youngsters. The
pens are filthy and ~unsanitary; the yards
are all rooted up and stagnant water Is
present.; the fences are not
nor cleansed in any way and seemingly
disease is invited through many channels.
If your pens are IN this CONDITION, your
animals unhealthy, hairless and .ack
thrift and vigor, clean their quarters
rather than resorting to buying raise
famed cure-alls. stock foods, dips. ETC.,
for even their application VIII be OF no
value unless you remove the cause OF this
filthy condition. While swine are usually
reckoned as s~cavengers there is no
foundation nor reason for allowing tnelr
sleeping quarters and run yards to pc
dens of disease germ breeding or micrope
nests.

~plauded him so heartily. rather than
noisily.
But the real h%eadliner. judged by the
customary standards. was Hope Booth
in George NJ. Cohan's short satire on
newspaper dramatic criticism, entitled
The Little Blonde Lady in which she
was assisted by Charles Deland and
Henry Garron. Miss Booth was seen
here In this sketch a couple of seasons
ago, but it was not then credited to
Mr.. Cohan. She has evidently made
the act profitable, for the author is ap-
parently not now adverse to having ms
name connected with 1t. The skit re-
counts the pessimistic and unfair atti-
tude of one Horatio Hammer Observe

Blaney,s-nA Despernte Chance.y

"a Desperate Chance" Theodore Kre-
mer's familiar melodrama, was presented
at Blaney's Theatre yesterday. and drew,
as in past seasons. audiences as large as
the house could accommodate.
Founded on the crimes Of the notorious
Biddle brothers: their murder Of a grocer
who detected them in the act of robbing
his store: the shooting OF a policeman who
attempted their capture. and their sensa-
tional escape from jail. which led to their
death at the hands of the pursuing au-
thorlties. the play contains many thrilling
moments for lovers of popular melodrama.
interviewer with the excitement of the
piece is a pathetic story Of a woman's
temptation. the recital of which increases
interest as the action proceeds.
Four acts and nine scenes are required
for the unfolding of the story. A "Des-
perate Chance" is taken when the Biddle
brothers escape from Jail with the assist
ance of the warden's wife, who has become
infatuated with Ed Biddle, a handsome,
reckless desperate. whose eyes possess a
peculiar power of fascination for women.
She fees with the men, and in the third
act a life and death struggle takes place,
In which the brothers are mortally
wounded and she herself receives a bullet
from the nursuers. This is the climax in
the developments, and reused the audience
to a lively demonstration OF approval. In
the last act the warden and his wife are
r~econciled and all is forgiven.

elaboration. Flowers of unnatural

The Persians, not content with the
plain flower, cut rings of colored pa.
per, cloth or velvet and ornament the
bloom, placing the circles of divers
hues between the first and second rows
of petals.
The effect is strange. One, at first
glance, supposes he sees bouquet Of
curious and bizarre flowers of entirely
new varieties.
