ter with her picquant comedy, return
ed last night and presented "The
Player Maid" for a second engage
ment. Her success was so certain
last season that It is no surprise that
last nights audience reiterated its
former emphatic approval. 1t is re-
lief in times like the present, when
the stage is a riot of musical comedy
and cheap dramatic effect, to find an
artist who clings to we'll defined and
legitimate standards.
''Miss Davis does this in Loaise
Malloy's four-act costume comedy.
There Is nothing complicated either
in construction or climax in 1.-THE
Player Maid" II moves smoothly
along. Il is exquisitely simple and
this very simplicity is the chief charm
of Miss Davis performance. She is
like no one else. She is surely her
self in the role of Mistress Eleanor
Mailman. Her ingenious acting is
delightfully."- appealing and her per-
sonality is as pleasing to the eye as
her performance is to other senses.
Elliott Dexter, an actor of admirable
schooling, gives excellent support. 1t
is between the two that the destiny
of the comedy is worked out, and Mr..
Dexter, while giving to Miss Davis ev-
cry opportunity of focusing attention
upon herself, preserves his own per-
sonality in a way that vindicates his
own art" At the Kentucky Thurs
day matinee and night.

Wesley Ogles, a farmer living near
here, is looking for a ''Pied Piper

Iof flying squirrels. Ogles is a bach

Unique Points in stronghcart.

No scene in any drama on the
stage today is as full of keen inter-
est as the football" scene in "Strong
est as the football" scene In
"Strongneart" presented in this city
on Tuesday night. All episodes of
college life are keenly alive with en-
thusiasm because youth is ever ex-
uberant, and in no college episode
can the wildness and gayety and
health OF the American young man
be made 90 obvions as during foot
ball game. Robert Blossoms great We
hicle, while seemingly serious, is in
reality full of breezy comedy, in that
it reflects youthful college life. The
training quarters Of Columbia Uni
versity are exactly reproduced, the
team is there in full armor of head
masks, shin guards, padded doe-skin
trousers, leather and cotton stuffed
shoulders, cleated shoes, and that
cheerful Indifference to harm and
fear that is present in the counte-
|nances and movements of young men
about to enter the great game, and
the author, William C. De Mile, be-
ing a football player himself, has Civ
len dialogue exactly fitted for sucn
Ia stirring scene. 1t is pointed, quick
and scientific, but not too technical
in its originality. Not only lovers Of
the great game revel in this scene,
but every man or woman. whether
young or old, feels the atmosphere
charged with intense excitement and
eagerly awaits the elimination of the
game. Strongheart, the celebrated
Indian, unjustly charged with treach-
cry in the matter of signals IS not
allowed to play, but with all the in
tensity of an Indian nature, gives
graphic descriptions of what he sees
through the window during part of
the scene. Robert Edeson, the star,
who has achieved mis- dramatic height
through intrinsic worth, falls into the
spirit of this scene as would the real
Indian and electrifies the audience
up to nerve raclsing point. The foot
ball scene has been pronounced one
of the strongest ever put on the
stage.

DISLIKE SMELL OF KEROSENE.
Cats Particularly viii Not stay
Where OIL 10 Used.

Il never knew until this winter"
said the superintendent Of dog and
cat hospital, how thoroughly most
animals detest the smell of kerosene.
Several times the steam heating ap-
paratus in this place went on strike
and we tried to raise the temperature
by means of an oil stove. The smell
of the oil produced a regular mutiny
among the animals. Cats are partic-
ularly sensitive to the odor of kero-
sene. Next door to my house Is a
stationery store which has been heat
ed all winter long with an oil stove.
In the beginning of the season the
proprietor owned fine cat that
seemed well satisfied with his COM
Portable quarters. No sooner, how
ever, was that stove lighted than the
cat deserted the stationer and sought
a home for the winter In a steam
heated fiat further down the street.
He comes back once in awhile on a
visit, but the smell of the oil pre-
vents his becoming regular inhab
liant of the store"

THE sUNFLowER AND oUININE.
Discovery Made That Plant Yields
Splendid Febrifuge.

An eminent Spanish professor has
made the discovery that the sunfiow-
er yields a splendid febrifuge that can
be used as a substitute for quinine.
More than ten years ago Moncorvo
reported to the Therapeutical society
of Paris with reference to the same
subject. Accordingly the sunflower
should not only by its growing exert
great fever-dispelling effect, but also
yield a product which is used advan-
tageously in all fevers.
The common sunflower Is an Amer
lean plant. Its original home Is
stated by eminent botanists to be
Peru and Mexico.
The Russian peasantry seem to be
convinced that the plant possesses
properties against fever, and fever pa
tients sleep upon bed made of sun
flower leaves and also cover them
selves with them. This use has re-
Gently induced Russian physician to
experiment with coloring matter
prepared from sunflower leaves, and II
is stated that he has had good results
with the coloring matter and with al
coholic extracts from the flower and
leaves. With 100 children from one
month tC IL years old he has, in the
majority of cases, effected as speedy
cure as otherwise with quinine.

Life Of Our Coal Fields.

II the rate of consumption of 1905
were maintained indefinitely, without
change, our coal would last approx
mately 1000 years, but II the con.
stantly increasing rate which has
marked the consumption during the
past 80 years be maintained, our coal
will practically be exhausted within
100 years,
1t does not seem probable that tho
rate OF increased consumption will be
affected materially for great many
years to come, and hence the estimate
OF 100 years will be nearer the truth
than 1000 years. The real life of our
coal fields probably will be some,
where between these extremes, and II
seems probable that II may be about

Jones from removing, damaging or de
