Wilton lackaye.

ID Wilton Lackaye Is to be congratu
Siated on his dramatic version Of Vic
tor Hugo's masterpiece, Les MIsera
sbles.r
This will be Mr.. Lackaye's first 10
cal appearance as an actor, play
wright, and in Justice TO tho man It
should be said he has done his work
with respect, fidelity and skill. Play
patrons who are familiar with lies
(: Aliserables" will recall the manner in
which the great .Frenciiman merclless'
~ used the probe on existing condi'
tons and upon the human frailties
aud good traits.
The star has followed the story
closely and In many Instances the
dialogue Is that Of Hugo himself. The
piece Is a prologue md. four acts and
opens with Famine and her compan'
q ions on an outing alta an. inn short
distance from Paris. This serves to
Introduce Cosette, the heroine. The
next scene shows Jean in the home
Of Bishop Welcome at Diton and the
I famous robbery and gift of the silver
A>candtesticks with the admonition, Il
have bought your soul and given 1t to
God"
The dramataic situations and eli
makes follow each other with great
rapldity. Famine is rescued by Jean
then known as Mayor Madeline Of
Meme, from being sent to prison. The
next scene shows the court room Of
Assizes at Arras where the mayor af
ter sitting by the side OF the trial
Judge, hears an innocent man con
sdemned to the galleys for life as be
ing "Jean Vatican, ex.conviet, danger
GUS" The struggle of the real man
with himself as to whether he Shall
reveal his identity and be sent to
] the hunks at Toulon for life, is said to
be one Of the strongest pieces Of act
Ing Mr.. Lackaye has ever done. The
sensation when the accused Is liberat'
ed and the mayor admits his identity
Is terrific. The next act shows the
capture and escape Of Jean, then
known as NJ, Leblanc, from the gar
ret of the Thenardiers is thrilling.
Jean makes his escape through the
4 window Just as Javert, the inspector
: OF police, enters the door.
The strain Of the. dramatic intensity
is relieved By the death Of FahtIhe
and the beautiful love story of Ma
RUS and Cosette, so fult of the impas
imagery Of France and Of the
gallantry IN many Instances who'll!
foreign to this sorlld age. AS is vel

Where the Florida Orange Grower
T0SeS
Loses.

In letter to the New York Packer,
VIM. H. Earle, of Tangerine, Fla,
says:
"I desire to call attention to some
very important facts as to orange
boxes.
1T is very strange that we should
have for SO long overlooked the diff
ference in size of the California and
Florida orange boxes. I have a letter
from the secretary Of the California
Horticultural Society giving the legal
size of the California orange box
A reliable Florida orange packer
writes me that a box of Florida or
anges, I76 size, will fill a California
box and leave besides 20 oranges. In
other words, every six boxes of Florida
oranges will make seven boxes if
packed in the California size box, a
loss to the Florida grower of one box
Of fruit in every six, in competition
with California growers. To illustrate:
If box Of California and Florida fruit
sells at the same price in Northern
markets, 10 size, for $3.50, the buyer
gets 50 cents more fruit if he takes a
Florida box than if he takes a Ca1ifor-
MIA box. Add to this the acknowledged
superior quality of Florida fruit and
these facts should stimulate the increas-
ed sale Of Our citrus fruits"
