the scene OF the presentation by Will

Battle one Of the substantial successes
of last season and a play that aroused
interest not alone on account of its
merits as an entertaining drama, but
also because of its novel and frank
presentation Of a subject of popular in
tereSt.
The story of the play concerns the
adventures of John J. Haggleton, the
richest man in New York, in his quest
for his long lost son, during which he
is brought to Lung block" a tenement

ing to make him realize the crying need

with conditions brought about by their
absence.
Haggleton, however, proves a worthy
foeman TO conditions as he finds them
and successfully demonstrates that no
tory conditions rests with the tenants
themselves. Moreover, in his efforts to
begin life all over again, he proves
his thesis that brains will win out
ing and getting under way tre-
mendous project he wins the admira
tion and regard of his son. When the
latter, one of the most jealous of the
reformers, discovers his relationship to
Haggleton, he is inclined to place his
growing admiration for the man above

dlsapprove of the millionaire's methods
and his past. The young mans fiancee.

while there is an intense struggle be-

CUCUMBER CLAIMS.
How Our Alaskan Citizens Stake Out
Salad.

A cucumber does not stand much
show on the Seward peninsula, Alaska,
according to Henry Nj. Hoyt, ex-dis-
trict attorney at Nome, who amused
the house committee on territories at
Washington the other day by describ
ing the agricultural possibilities of the
far northwest. Mr.. Hoyt gave the
committee his views on bill provid-
ing for legislative council for Alaska,
but branched off upon the subject of
vegetables.
you can grow cucumbers and let
tuce upon the Seward peninsula" he
said, "by planting close to the steam
exhaust of an electric light house.
When cucumber vine shows signs of
fructifylng u fellow may take a visit

stake claim upon the cucumber.
When the cucumber grows up it is
the property of the claim holder"
"How about fruit? You can grow
that, can't you" asked Chairman
Hamilton.
1T will have to be hardy fruit with
the thermometer 50 below sometimes"
responded Mr.. Hoyt.
The witness said he knew nothing
about the agricultural conditions in the
interior, which were painted in glow
ing colors by Delegate Wickersham of
Alaska.
Mr.. Hoyt, who is now attorney gen
eral for Porto Rico, told the committee
that the character Of the floating pop
ulation Of Alaska made inadvisable an
elective legislature. He recommended
the appointment of its members by
the president, saying that the people
