in the hands of J. w, Hanley. Jimmie
Blake is filed with whiting lines, as
tonishing situations and the denoue-
ment is amazing.
Miss Mary is the title of roman
tie play, q gem in it's way which deals
with life, the free, unconventional ex-
istence of a Wyoming mining camp, to
which comes a dainty, sweet school
teacher direct from old New England.
There is the natural clash Of the two
ideas Of life. That well-knoWn actor,
Harry Leighton, is cast for the role Of
Bill, the stage driver; Miss Inez Plum
mer, who succeeded Edna Wallace Hop
per in the all-star cast of THE Heart
Of Maryland" and who for two years
has been a member of the David Bslas-
co forces, will be seen as Miss Mary.
Miss Maud Ream Slower has the role
of Mrs. Morton, keeper Of the Red
light.
Priscilla of Plymouth" is the title
of a charming and unusually tuneful
comic operetta, which closes the varied
entertainment of the evening. The two
scenes show Boston Common and the
home of Priscilla Mullins at Plymouth
in 1928, witr eight maidens of that name
seated at their spinning wheels. The
story deals with the return to earth,
in the present century, of Captain
Miles Standish, with the view of rehab-
ilitating himself in the eyes of posterity
as a lover and to refuta the statement
Of the poet that he was too timid to do
his own wooing. Herold 7. Morey plays

of the iconoclasts can gather up the

THE pIErAnEs

That unique organization, THE Piel-
ades,' which comes to the Hyperion on
Monday and Tuesday evenings, is the
only company presenting four distinct
bills in the course of an evening, each
having it's own cast, which has been
specially engaged for that one play.
This idea Of Hamilton VanHorn is an
innovation in theatrfcals, and has prov
ed to be marked success. The bill is
comprised of four plays. The first is a
musical comedy of rolIicking college
life entitled Romance and Rarebit,"
the principals being Miss Nellie Brew
ster, Mrs. Rachel Barr, one of the best
character women extant; Miss Petite
Stansfeld, Maxwell Sergeant and Ben
5amin f. Smith. There is also a chorus
Of twelve coll &c boys and girls.
In Jimmie Blake" a comedy playlet,
which is the next Offering, clever Miss
Florence Brennan is cast as Jennie.
This talented young woman viii be re-
called as having made distinct per-
sonal triumph by her limitations of the
noted feminine stars now playing in the
United States. Detective Hartley is
played by that excellent actor Charles
Castleman, and the police sergeant is

FARMING ON CITY LOTS.

Done of the most sensible notions of
the philanthropists has had a tryout
this year which promises several good
results for the future city dweller who
cannot manage to get back to the soil
in the usual manner
The notion referred to is the cultiva-
tion of the vacant lots which are more
or less plentiful in all towns, In Phil
adelphia Help Yourself societies were
formed for the purpose of arranging
the matter.
According to Maxwelrs Talsman,
more than a thousand families in this
one city earned last summer about as
good wages working small allotments
of land as the average laborer earns
working under a boss fully twice as
long hours. As an instance, one fam
lily consisting of mother and three
children under fourteen made applica-
ton for a garden in the spring Of 1904
They were wholly lacking in knowl-
edge Of garden work, and the mother
was in very poor health. But what
they lost in produce the first season by
reason Of these facts they gained in
health, pleasure and experience. Feel
ing fully repaid for time and labor
spent in the garden they were not only
ready and willing when the season Of
1905 opened, but anxious to enter upon
the work on their little farm, which
was scarcely half an acre In size
Besides supplying themselves with
fresh vegetables during the summer
months and putting by for winter
twelve bushels of potatoes, fifteen
quart jars Of tomatoes, seven Jars of
beta, ten quart jars of string beans,
eight quart jars Of lima beans, six
pint Jars of corn and six quart jars of
peas, they sold in the neighborhood
produce to the value of $1120I 1t is
safe to say that they realized fully
three hundred dollars.
If improvement in health, increase of
strength and value Of knowledge
gained be added, this sum should be
fully doubled and they didn't earn a
cent less when they worked daily on
account Of the garden They simply
added three hundred dollars to their
yearly income.

that waste land ought to be had for
the mere asking, as it is yitlding the
present owners nothing except an in
crease in value and will continue to
yield them nothing until labor is set to
work upon it. It will be needed for
building operations some day. but in
the meantime why not set the poor
unemployed city jewellers to work upon
it and let them have what they make?
Old men past work in the shops, but
still compelled to be bread winners,
find such work we'll. within their pow
ers, while half grown boys and girls
too frail for. the strenuous life in the
shop and factory, find in these fields
the pure air, the warm sun and the
quietude coupled with light manual eff
fort that are so needful in the building
of physical, moral and mental man
hood and womanhood.

tible force, If properly organized and
intelligently directed by those most
interested in its success. When the
League Of the DoWntredden is in full
working order it viii not be necessary
for District Attorney Jerome to write
his own defence. If Cortelyou can
give Comstock a clean bill of health
why should not Bellamy Storer eulo-
gize Poultney Bigelow, and Cassie
Chadwick testify to the upright hon
esty of John D. Rockefeller If Per-
kins testimonial for commercial iateg-
rity is good, may not Charley Murphy
write sweeping endorsement Of Hen
bricks as a fine type of the dlsinterest-
ed and alert public officer? If ex=Sen-
ator Burton is eligible to such bril-
liant society he might rehabilitate
those two other victims of a ruthless
iconoelasm, Plat and Depew.
The League of the Downtrodden
could start off with a large, distin-,
guished and influential charter menu
bership. Against persistent and ac-
tive organization working energetically
for the restoration of all its individual
idols of the iconoclasts who generally
have no selfish interest in such con-
troversy could make but feeble strug-
giles. Armed with the official weapons
of government which are in the pos
session of some of the most eligible
candidates for membership in the So
ciety we have suggested the League of
the Downtrodden would become a
power to be reckoned with. Even in
foreign countries, where some of the
wealthiest targets of the idol smash
ers have sought refuge the leauge
would not be without influence. New

the highest possible praise for the ex-

of consideration by those who patronize

WEALTH OF The
AMERICAN FARMS
Crops This Year Are A
thousand Millions More
Than Last

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Report that
the earnings of the American farmers
are a thousand millions of dollars
greater this year than last is made Ia
preliminary statement on crops,
which will be published in the next
issue of the American Agriculturist.
This big gain win be entirely due to
the increased prices of farm products,
as the production in general will be
fully 10 per cent less in quantity than
in 1906, which was the record year.
"The farmer was never in so healthy
a position as he Is today, financially,
socially, politically, mentally and
spiritually" says the report. The in
crease in the value of his real estate
has been prodigious. He owes less
money than ever before. He has
greater assets than ever. The farmer
is in the market for better implements,
household goods and other merchan-
| disc. He recognizes the extra profit
that accrues from the use of better
business and in his home.
Wheat Crop Shows Decline.
| 1.-THE wheat crop this year will APP
proximate 625,o00,000 bushels, 100000
600 less than last year. Corn prom
ises to be within per cent as much
as last year and with only two or three
exceptions the biggest yield in our
history. The yield of oats will be
about IL per cent less than last year
but there will be almost the usua
quantity of rye, barley, huckwheat
fiaxseed and potatoes. The hay croI
will exceed last years a great deal
Apples win be much more plentiful
than last year. The increase in the
value of these crops per unit of meas
urement makes the total value of eacl
crop this year considerably larger thar
last season.
Demand Will Be Great.
1.-THE consumption of farm products
more than keeps pace with produc'
ton. The supply of grain and cottoi
is less per capita for these two years
than for the corresponding period Il
years back. The export demand prom
ises to absorb at fair prices ever!
pound of surplus meat, grain, cotton
etc, that the American people cal
spare. The grain importing nations o
Europe have only moderate crops anC
mist import more food products thar
ustial. 1T is important to note that thu
