A farmer needs moro education
than either physioian or lawyer
for he has need in his business of
a knowledge more or less complete
of all the natural" science. and
his is the only occupation that deals
with soiences. That education
often drives the young man from
the farm. proves nothing except
that all men cannot be farmers,
for we must have all the trades
and professions filed. But agri.
culture is more important than all
other oallings combined. for the
farmer feeds and clothes the world,
Therefore the better the farmer
knows his business the better will
the world be clothed and fed,

For the first time in three years
an omnibus bill is being passed by

years. Twenty.s ix accounts Affect
ing West Virginia bills have been
agreed on by the committee on

vide excellent incidental music. >.
Homer Henley has charge of the singing
forces and with Mrs. Millie Flynn olsn
will be heard in the octet of picked
singers.
When this play was presented at the
old Alcazar, with Whittlesey as Eric
Temple, both Henley and Mrs. Glsh
were among the vocalists, ana the
singing of the operate selections OIL
stage" during the third act was one
of the big features of the splendld
production.
The play has been a great favorlte
here since it's first production In this
city. 1t is the story OF a stolen opera
and the plot is placed in the seven
teenth century, in London ana rural
England. Eric Temple wrote the opera
and the score is stolen from him whlle
he is visiting a country home Broken
hearted over his loss, he becomes a
recluse, but eventually is lured pack
to London. He attends the opening
performance of new opera ana is
startled and maddened to find that the
music is his own, although the credlt
for its composition is given TO Sir
| Geoffrey Pomfret. Thestwo men have
an altercation in the lobby OF the
theater and next day they meet IN
duel with swords, Temple winning the
combat. OF course there is young
lady in the case, ana of course she
weds the victor.
All the Alcazar favorites VIII be with
Whittlesey in the cast, Bessie Barrls-
Gale having one of the dainlest in
genue roles evcr written The cos
tuning is both rich and picturesque,
and the setting of each OF the four
acts will be a very pretty stage pic
ture.

Attractions at the
Local Playhouses

Not much that is novel or new is-held
out this week to local patrons of the
playhouse, though Henry MiIler's pro-
duction of The Great Divide" might
almost be called novelty, seeing that
it was played here only this season
for the first time. "At the Old Cross
Roads" will supplant Under the Bear
Flag" and it is to be hoped that the
American theater will enjoy better
play this week than last; Ferris Hart
man is the big "eveQ" at the Prin-
cess and will show his nimble self
again in San Francisco after an un-
warranted absence of four years.
Miller will be suggested at the Alca-
zar, where White Whittlesey will ap-
pear IS Eric Temple in "Heartsease, y
piece in which Whittlesey has an
peared before with fine box office re-
suits. A new melodrama with James
