GRAND Vaudeville, 2:15 and 8:13 p. m. PARK "A Little Outcast." 2 and 8 p. m. EMPIRE Burlesque, 2 and 8 p. m. The Great Lafayette-don't forget the great," for he deserves the title is back at the Grand this week with a vaudeville show that is different from most others. and one that is sure to attract more than the usual amount of attention. His own part of the programme makes up the greater part of the entertainment, and if he had nothing else to offer his patrons than the two acts which he himself presents, his show would still be worthy to be classed among the best on the road. La fayette In action Is something like the In diana town, which, no doubt, was named after him. He is accompanied by a number of lesser Lafayettes suburbs, accessor ies, attendants whatever you may see fit to term them all united in giving force and distinction to the greater, or to be more correct, the Great Lafayette. When the star of this week's bill is engaged in amusing and mystifying his audience- with lightning changes of costume and multitudinous exhibitions of various kinds of talent, he has quite a formidable army of assistants working their heads off to aid him In making his performance the tremendous success that it is some of them appearing with him on the stage, while others, behind the scenes, help him out of one costume and into another, engineer the mechanical devices for presenting his illusions and in numerous other ways contribute to the general effect of the show. Whatever Lafayette does, he does well. The first portion of his programme consists of a number of impersonations and feats of magic, some of which are quite startling. His Imitation of the Chinese magician, Chlng Ling FoO, is Just as good as thf original Mongolian himself, and his burlesques of all of the great bandmasters, including Sousa and the new favorite, Creatore, are very funny. He has added to this part of his entertainment a travesty which he calls "The Coronation of King Edward," and this, like everything else he does. Is worked up to a surprising and unlooked for conclusion. His great spectacular illusion, "The Lion's Bride," is presented in better style than when it was given here last season, being put on with all of the theatrical glamour and glitter, that Lafayette understands so well. The phow, outside of the star's performances, is well balanced. Sallie Stembler, a bright little comedienne with an unusually good voice, singe her repetolre of songs in delightful style and with Infectious comedy spirit. She introduced for the first time here a new song entitled "Oh, La-la-la," written for her by Louis Weslyn Jones, and gave it an excellent rendition. The Five Nosses contribute the other musical act of the bill and the troupe, consisting of two men and three women, is far above the average. "Zimmer, a juggler, who gives a finished act; Lynn Welcher, in a monologue that is new and old in spots; Burke, Moller and Teller, in a singing and dancing specialty, and Armirta in a trapeze performance, round out the bill that should be seen by all lovers of good vaudeville. The company was late in reaching Indianapolis from St. Louis yesterday and the matinee performance did not begin uatil 3 o'clock. "A Little Outcast" at the Park. Some day a discerning theatrical manager will secure a first-class play with the story built around a boy character and star little Anne Blancke in the principal part. This winsome little actress, who is appearing at the Park during the first half of the week In a melodrama called "A Little Outcast," is in a class all by herself at the present time. N. S. Wood, so long celebrated In the popular-priced houses as the "boy actor," has seen, his best days; Kittle Emmett, who succeeded him in plays of New York street life, has of late been doing a different sort of stage work, and this leaves little Miss Blancke with the field pretty much to herself. She has a very pleasing personality, is graceful and natural in all that she does, and, on the whole, is quite the best actress of boys' parts now before the public. "The Little Outcast" is a play of the usual melodramatic kind, with the advantage of a few really well-arranged situations. Miss Blancke plays the part of Bob, a newsboy, who "stanbs by" a man who has once befriended him when the latter loses his respected position in life through being suspected of a theft of which he is Innocent. Joseph Callahan, a better actor than is usually seen in a hackneyed role of this sort, appears as the wronged young fellow, Paul Weston, and succeeds in making an interesting character out of the.hero. The gist of the play is that Weston, branded as a thief and forsaken by his former friends, becomes a prey to drink and falls in with criminals. At the darkest part of his career, when he is about to commit a crime, he is brought to a realiza tion of his situation by the newsboy Bob, and his redemption and ultimate triumph over his enemies is accomplished by a series or dramatic incidents In which the ever faithful street Arab is a prominent factor. One or the. leading parts that of Dick His; gins, a thief, is ably taken by Thomas G. Lingham, an Indianapolis actor. Others of the cast worthy of mention are Walter F. Harmon, T. P. Holer, Miss Florence Hamilton and Miss Catherine Pembrooke a quartet or cnuaren iour boys and a girl, all under fifteen years render a sing ing specialty representing a band of news boys at play, and their fresh young voices were much enjoyed by the audience. Another specialty was furnished by Mr. Holer and Miss Pembrooke. The entertainment Is a good one and deserving of patronage. It will be followed Thursday by Kirke La neue a scenic production of Sergeant James," which will fill In the latter half of the week at the Park. Harry Morris at the Empire. Harry Morris Is presenting to the patrons of the variety houses a new sketch. He has brought out a musical comedy, "A Night on Broadway," which is a pleasant change from the old style of burlesque shows. This year he has a good vehicle and a support ing company that can act and sing. The stage presence of the members Is not the kind that is seen so often in variety houses. Morris has arranged some pretentious scenery that takes one awray from the. drops and sides that have been used so much. The show Is devoid of the regulation bur lesques and olio sandwiched in. "A Night on Broadway" is played in two acts with one specialty' intervening. It is that of Frank Emerson In black face giving an exhibition of bone rattling. Emerson's lit tie act was fully appreciated. The play is an English version of an old German story. Harry Moris takes the part of Henry Fled ler, a German candy maker in New York. He has political aspirations and also tie sires to mingle with other men at night on Broadway. In one of these little escapades he meets a young woman and the two go to a restaurant. Fiedler always trusts his nephew with all affairs, and on the morning after when his head is deranged from drinking numerous highballs he is told that the girl he met the inght before would appear at his home. At the same time he is told that his wife and daughter are returning from Newport. The women return and for several days complications follow one another until Fiedler is almost driven to desperation. Morris has a num ber of witty lines, devoid of the usual sug gestlveness. Some of the humor is of the delicate kind and it was not appreciated yesterday. During the progress of the troubles of Fiedler a number of singing conversations are given. Carl Anderson, as the nephew

of Fiedler, displays a strong voice. He opens the show with the aid of a good singing chorus by explaining his lateness at arriving at the ottice. This Is followed by "The Candy Girls' Complaint," sung by the chorus and Harry Morris. In giving an explanation of the night before Mildred Stoller and Carl Anderson sing a pretty duet. "Broadway After Twelve" Is a song which tells a story of the famous street when it is thronged with theater-goers and is sung by Harry Moris, Mildred Stoller and Anderson, assisted by the chorus. The second act is put on in better style than the opening act and many ensemble numbers are given. Calve to Wed n Journalist. PARIS, Jan. 5. It is announced here that Emm Calve .will marry Jules Bois, a Journalist. Her marriage will not prevent Mm?. Calve from fulfilling her engagement la the United States next season. f

CORN GROWERS OF STATE ii. F. 31. DEXT MAIIAX ELECTED PRESIAT AX.M'AL MEETIXG. Resolution Favoring: Experimental AVork in Corn Growing; AdoptedPapers Read at the Session. The first of a series of meetings of Indi ana industrial associations was held yesterday when the Indiana Corn Growers' Association held its annual session In Room 12 at the Statehouse. There was a large at tendance of the prominent corn growers who are members of the association. There was great disappointment because of the inability of Governor Durbin to address the meeting, but his time was. occupied with preparing his message to be read before the General Assembly. With the exception of the Governor's address, the programme was carried out in full. The officers elected for the ensuing year are: President H. F. McMahan, of Liberty. Vice President T. A. Coleman, of Rushville. Secretary Scott Meiks, of Shelbyville. The association adopted a resolution fa voring the $6,000 appropriation by Cbngress for various States to perfect experimental work in corn growing. Three of the experi mental stations will be located in Indiana. The association also adopted a resolution condemning the action of the lower house in reducing the appropriation of $2,500,000 recommended by the Senate to $1,500.000 for a new agricultural building at Washington. The opening remarks were made by President C. B. Benjamin, who Si oke of the great advances made by Indiana, as a corngrowing State. O. A. Somers, of Kokomo, read a paper on "Soil Conditions Essential to irofitable Corn Growing." "The Whys and Hows in Cultivation of Corn" was discussed by U. M. Stewart, of Madison. He said late cultivation of corn is practical It continued without Interruption during harvest time. L. B. Clore, of Franklin, talked on "Selection of Corn for Exhibition." He said the corn should be uniform and not too long ears should be selected. II. F. McMahan, in discussing "The Kind of Grains We Plant, and Why," said he felt satisfied that long grains are more desirable than short ones, as more pounds of shelled corn per bushel could be secured by planting the long grains. On the subject, "Where We Keep Our Seed Corn through the Winter," Charles Buckley said he stored his seed corn in the celler: Marley Riley preferred a dry house, with artificial heat; C. B. Ben jamin a chamber with natural heat and W. A. Alexander a shed with sheetlron covering. They all said the seed corn should be dry before cold weather sets in. T. A, Coleman said a bushel of corn should' fatten a hog twelve or fourteen pounds if properly fed. Many members of the association will attend the corn school to be held at Lafayette the last of this month. BECELPTS AT POSTOFFICE. Financial Clerk Elliott Estimates Year's Total at $000,000. Financial Clerk David K. Elliott, of the Indianapolis postofflce, is estimating that the receipts for stamps and revenues of the postofflce will reach $450,000 for the last three-quarters of the fiscal year. With this estimate Mr. Elliott thinks it likely that the year's business will show the revenues to have amounted to more than $600,000. If the receipts reach this amount Indianapolis will be a first-class office, with increases in the salaries of the postmaster and others In the office. The effort two years ago to bring the receipts to $500.000 was successful, but the Postofflce Department at Washington refused to accept it as a legitimate increase and waited until 1901, when the figures exceeded $500,000, to make the change In the classification of the office.

FARM AND GARDEN J2 INTERESTS

Growing Beef Cattle. Indiana Farmer. A few weeks ago we published the address of Professor Curtiss, of the Iowa Agricultural Colege, delivered recently at Bloomlngton, 111. It produced a decided sensation among beef cattle growers at the time, when he stated that with present advanced price of good land. It was no longer possible for the farmers of the corn belt to profitably keep the average cow for the calf she raised alone, and that the profitable cow on such land was one that would not only raise a calf, but In addition produce thirty or forty pounds of butter fat; that we must begin to breed and grow milking strains of beef cattle, as they are doing in England and other countries, where he saw the descendants of such carrying off first prizes in the beef cattle shows. It has become a somewhat settled conviction in this country that milking strains and beef strains were incompatible propositions. Prof. Curtiss said it was a mistake, as his own observations abroad contradicted the theory. Then it was suggested in his audience that beef cattle growers would not go to milking and producing butter fat, and to use the phraseology of several beef cattle growers on the occasion of the address, as the writer heard them: "If Prof. Curtiss is right, we are up against it," they said. Now all this suggests two things in behalf of beef cattle growers on high-priced corn land, namely: First, that there is a loud call for some genius to invent successful milking machinery, so that thirty pounds of butter fat cream, as well as a calf, can be secured per year; or, second, that the smaller farms requiring the larger profits obtained by constant labor and attention to the dairy industry, be induced to adopt the milk strains of beef cattle, obtaining thereby about the same amount of butter fat, and grow calves that will bring them $25 to $30 each at weaning, whereas the calves they now grow for distinctive dairy breeds bring them only $5 to $10 each. One or the other of these two propositions seems to be the "conclusion of the whole matter," for it looks to us very much like Professor Curtiss's contention was about accurate, and that large farmers and beef cattle growers won't go to milking cows and selling cream to get the profit required in the shape of thirty pounds of butter fat annually. The second point of suggestion in the problem seems also to have a profitable inducement to the smaller dairy farms, in the margin lying between $5 and $10 and $ and $30 calves whiclt the beef growers would readily buy. We know how dangerous this ground Is, for there looms up the old contention between cattle breeds and beef and dairy industries, the "dual-purpose cow," etc. But Professor Curtiss suggests a "condition and not a theory" and some liberality In solving it seems essential even in the face of seemingly settled methods of farm economics. Indeed, new conditions always trench on old methods and plans of procedure. This time the obtruder is the 40 per cent, advance on rich corn lands. Better Plant Trees. Washington Letter in Kansas City Journal.' Professor B. E. Fernow, of the Agricultural Department, discussing the timber supply outlook in the United States before the American Association for the Advancement of Science, said that a calculation of the present stand of virgin timber in the United States, ready to supply the demand for lumber, showed the improbability, if not impossibility, of the United States meeting the increasing demand for lumber another thirty years, under present methods of utilization. Even If the entire forest area of 500.000,000 acres were supposed still fully stocked with the average sjand per acre, as reported by the census in the hold ings of lumbermen an absurd proposition the stock on hand would be exhausted within that period. Even under good forestry practice, the E resent increasing demand, he said, could e supplied only for a limited time. In a paper on the economic value of the remaining public land, Mr. J. D. Whelpley said that not another acre of public lands should be sold for cash or its equivalent. liesidence and cultivation should be re quired before it could be obtained, and this residence and cultivation should be at least five years, so as to insure a permanent and not speculative interest in the holding. He sounded a note of warning against the free disposal of the public lands. Dr. H. Wiley, chief of the chemistry bu reau of the Department of Agriculture, in a paper, said the work of his bureau had resulted in the enactment of State laws which saved farmers millions of dollars by preventing frauds in connection with the sale of fertilizers. Dr. Wiley said that our wneat ana cereal supply always will be adequate to our growth. Scientific stock feeding had made it possible for a stock raiser to prepare an animal for the market for one-third less than formerly. Prof. B. T. Galloway, chief of the bureau of plant industry, said a new orange had been created in Florida, which bids fair to build up a new marmalade industry. In a paper on the sociologist aspects of the Irrigation problem, Mr. Guy E. Mitchell expressed the opinion that the reclamation of the arid lands of America through government construction of Irrigation works would furnish for years to come an effective outlet for the industrious surplus population of our great cities. The Irrigation of the 100.000,000 acres of plains and valleys, he said, will tend to make small farms and homes a general rule throughout the entire country. To-day was practically the last day of the work of the association, though there are various odds and ends to be finished tomorrow. The total registration of members at the present meeting was 078, with one exception the largest in the history of the association. Money in Fruit Grovrlng, Philadelphia Record. Tropical countries excel in the number of varieties of fruit, but with its delicacy of flavor, the pineapple Is inferior in point of excellence to the peach of the temperate zones, and the familiar apple of our climate has no equal In the tropics for combination of desirable qualities. We import large quantities of fruit, as we desire some kinds thkt we cannot get within our own limits, but really because we do not supply the demand for our own native fruitt In no year within the past quarter of a century have we been supplied with a sufficiency of apples. During certain periods of every year they bring larger prices than oranges, and the bulk of the peach crop is annually sold when the trees are in blossom. The demand for pears has very much increased of late years, owing to the great improvement that has been made with the fruit. When the buyers find out a good article they care nothing for price, and thus the Bartlett (the favorite) and the beautiful Duchess hold their own, with no limit to the demand, and the supply is always short. The curculio has almost obliterated the plum,- but of late the pest nas Deen iougnt successiuuy, ana witn a steady improvement being made with the fruit it will, no doubt, in a few years, resume its place by the side of our most favored delicacies. The blackberry was lately a weed, on which every farmer showered his wrath, sparing for its extermination neither the hoe, plow nor knife, but the berry held on to :ts place In popular affection, appealing on its merits for acknowledgment among the domestic fruits, until finally, on the advent of the Lawton, the blackberry was recognized by the gTower, and now we have them far superior to those of j-ears ago. And yet the cry is: "More blackber ries." The demand, instead of decreasing from Its cultivation, has increased, and new markets are opened every season. It is useless to specify kinds further, for the raspberry, currant, grape, cherry and quince have their enthusiastic admirers Even the huckleberry (whether blueberry or whortleberry), ns It is called, will soon be among the cultivated fruits, a place It should have naa long ago. If the demand for fruit greatly increases is there not a new field open to those sec tlons not adapted for special farming or a t 1 a. l ill t . . siock raising.- niony niusioes, mat are now unprofitable, can be made to blossom with each returning spring. The grape will grow on soils that refuse nourishment to cereal crops, and the blackberry Is success fully grown on the lightest sands. With all the boast of the "West." there is not a State in the Union that averages the net profit per acre that rew Jersey does with her small fruits. Lands that will not grow a blade of grass pay tne grower in pears. blackberries and raspberries and the better qualities of soil produce the best of straw berries. If there is a failure In growing fruit it is due to carelessness of the grower. Trees and vines, like anything else, must receive the care and attention of the exow er, must be properly xuiUi'a ted, pruned and

Profit In Cornstalks. Washington Letter In Chicago Post. The Agricultural Department is interested In the plans of capitalists to manufacture high-grade paper from cornstalks. ine farmers of Indiana and Illinois, it is an nounced, are to be the first to profit by the new process. Reports to the department show that experiments have been carried on at Kankakee, 111., for some t'me, and 11UUI iuaiivu nas v-v-v " i effect that by the time this years crop i of stalks is ripe that men using me prouwill be ready to begin the manufacture of paper on a large scale. Samples of paper made from the stalks of corn have been received at the department. Three different grades are exhibited. One is made from the shell of the stalk, another from the pith and a third from the husk. From the pith is turned out a fine grade of oil paper almost, if not quite, equal to linen paper, experts at the department say. The department is informed that the great problem has been to make it an inducement to farmers to sell their cornstalks to the manufacturers instead of feeding them to live stock. To overcome this obstacle. It is announced, a machine has been invented and Is building, which will take the stalk with the ear still on it. husk the ear, remove the husk from the stalk and then remove the shell from the pith. With a machlnee that will do this work perfected the men who propose to manufacture paper out of cornstalks will propose to farmers to buy their crop outright in the field. It the farmers wish the corn after it has been husked it will be passed back to the farmer or it will be marketed by the paper manufacturers. In time, it is predicted at the department, there will be machinery which will make use of every part of the cornstalk and the ear. Instead of turning the husked corn back to the farmer or putting it on the market, the buyers will grind it into various kinds of feed. Pruning Grapevines. Rural New Yorker. I much prefer to prune grapevines in the fall or early winter, when the wood is not frozen. I have an arbor through the garden, and enough vines in other rows to make about forty in all. Most of these have been planted for ten "years. The soil Is a clay loam of medium fertility. The location is near Washington D. C. My method of pruning is the sanve as that which I practiced in my own vineyard work. I aim to grow my next season crop of g?apes on about three or four canes of this season's growth. The midsummer treatment of these canes consisted in frequently pinching them back for the purpose of fully developing the canes and buds. I have found that strong, vigorous canes five to six feet in length, grown in this way are much less liable to be affected by the grape lot. Each season I also cut back two or three of the oldest vines that seem to be most subject to the rot. I cut off the entire vine two or three Inches above the ground, and only three or four canes are allowed to grow from the short stump of the parent vine during next season. I have found this method a partial A'reventive of the grape rot, owing In part, no doubt, to the principle that a vigorous vine is less liable to disease than an older and more feeble one. The main pruning of the vines, other than those grown from the short stub at the ground, consisted in shortening back this season's growth of wood. leaving but two or three buds next to the old wood of the parent vine. I also cut out a considerable portion of the old canrs each season, so as to Increase the vigor of the remaining canes that are to bear fruit, as well as to promote a vigorous growth of the canes that start within eighteen or twenty inches from the ground. Knfttneer of Farming. Washington Letter. The agricultural engineer is the latest specialist in the engineering profession. It is Just beginning to be realized that there Is a field for this particular work. In the past twenty years the capital invested In the manufacture of agricultural Imnlemeats baa yacrtased from $00,000,000

There are mowers, reapers and threshers galore, but which is the best adapted to any given conditions, that is, the character of crop, size, labor, cost, etc.? Irrigation is becoming an important factor In the development of millions of acres of farmland in this country. How should it be done? With coal, oil, gas, electricity or wind power? Which is most economical? How should the farm bo' drained, now it is known that drainage has an important influence on the value of the crop? The breeder anl dairyman nowadays knows that proper sanitation of his stable is necessary to Insure satisfactory results. Ventilation and drainage must be looked after as carefully as In his own home. The Department of Agriculture is deluged with Inquiries asking for Information on these and allied subjects, showing the widespread demand for the - agricultural engineer, on whom will depend, in a large measure, the maintenance , of American agricultural supremacy. Farm Motes. When farmers are busy in the sprinc they are liable to neglect many matters which deserve their ttention. Now Is the opportunity for getting the Implements tn order and sharpening the tools. The grindstone is a valuable adjunct to good farming if thorough work Is desired. The goose is a forager and grazer, and even alongside of the sheep will utilize all kinds of grass very closely, and will assist poor land to earn a dividend. Geese can be kept in large flocks profitably, so that "specialty farming" In this line may be conducted on quite a large scale. They may be grown for less per pound than almost any other meat upon the farm. Irish potatoes In the cellar should be covered with carpot and boards. Light and air spoil their eating qualities. Sweet potatoes are handy to have around during the winter and spring months, but they will not keep during the winter in the cellar. They must be kept in a room where there is fire enough to kep out dampness, and where there is no danger of freezing. Any farmer can try the experiment of inoculating the soil with the necessary bacteria for promoting the growth of a crop. Should the hoil seem unadapted to clover It will be found of advantage'to procure a few bushels of earth from a field upon which grew a luxuriant crop of clover, broadcasting the earth over the field and seeding to clover, the possibility being that a good stand of clover will be obtained. Ground intended for onions should be plowed as early as the weather will permit, as the onion crop is the first to go in. One method of producing onions is to sow the seeds in hotbeds and transplant the small bulbs later. The seeds may be sown in the hotbeds in January or February. By thus growing them there Is a saving of time and less difficulty with weeds. If preferred, the "onion sets may be procured of seedsmen. Leslie's Monthly for January lauds Missouri as the paradise of the American hen. Last year the Missouri farmers got up early to harvest their rorn, wheat, oats, timothy seed, clover seed, millet sed, cane seed,' tobacco, broom corn, hay and grain, but work as they would the Missouri hen worked faster. At the end of the year the farmers' books showed that the sale of poultry -and eggs ran $17.0ut ahead of all the other farm products of the State combined. All kinds of early crops that are to be grown from seed in- the spring may be hastened by starting them in a hotbed.. Some may then be transferred to cold lrams. such a lettuce aoid cabbage. For the family garden such work will not be laborious if attention is now given th early crops. The adavntages of having all kinds of vegetables early are that they will escape the dry season, to a certain extent, and may be followed by lattr crops. Peas may tn seeded in the open ground quite early, if the ground is warm. If young trees are received from the nurseryman bo careful and not expose the roots to the action of dry winds. As many Insects and diseases may be distributed from nurseries, all trees should be very carefully examined, no matttr how young they may be. When setting them out prepare the land well, and give the roots plenty of room. Use no manure, but place the top soil next the roots. Shorten back the tops, so as to be able to shape the trees in the future, and also for the purpose of providing more nourishment at the start. (Rev.) C. A. R. Janvier, Presbyterian Mission.
