Cbarles Denby will deliver the principal addressat tbe Loyal Legion banqaet at Indianapolis tonight. His subject will be the late President MciCicIey. On account of the tragic death of McKcKinley the issuing of General Alger's book, "The Spanish-American War," has been indefinitely delayed, and thereby the world will be sparedTor some time at least, the exhibition of a military dirty linen washing which will far surpass that of the naval exhibit in the same line cow being made in Washington. President Roosevelt did a wise and pracef ul thing in inviting Booker T. Washington to dine with him at the White House. Mr. Washington could give him more valuable information on the race question in the south than any other man, black or white, could. Besides, he is in every respect worthy to sit at any table. Color has nothing to do with making a gentleman. "It is good to live, but it isequally j.'ood to die. One is very well when one is ill; one feels oneself detached from all that is corporal; one lives only in the life of the spirit, the life of the soul. And death has nothing terrible. An abyss, they say? It is a false comparison. When one is ill, one descends a slope, a slope very gentle, which at a certain point is barred by a. curtain of fragile stuff. Doa't talk to me of the people who have never been ill. They are terrible, the women above all; a woman forever well.she is a ferocious beast." Tolstoi. The statement has been sent out from tb is city, and seems to be taken seriously by outside papers, that Councilman Whelan proposes to introduce an ordinance prohibiting women from wearing trailing skirts while on the streets. It is stated that tbe ordinance will be introduced at the suggestion of people who claim that trailing dresses gather disease trerms. Of course this story is a joke, but it has probably been started by some one not Mr. Whelan for a purpose. An ordinance is pending in council to prohibit spitting on the sidewalk?. It is quite probable that the suggester of this skirt trailing ordinance had in view the belittling of the proposition to prevent spitting on the sidewalks. If that was his purpose it was certainly an unworthy one. There is no excuse whatever for the spitting nuisance on side walks. The ordinance prohibiting it should be passed acd strictly enforced. The question as to the proper length of skirts has nothing to do with it. Women hare the samef fight to wtar such clothing as becomes the;ti,ir.d as custom warrants, as birds have to wear attractive plumage and flowers charming tints The idea that they should be driven from the sidewalks by the slobberings of a few two-legged hogs is simply unectertainible in a civilized community. A. Typical South African Store. -, O. R. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sun days River, Cape Colony, conducts a store typical of South Africa, at which can be purchased anything from the proverbial 'needf an anchor." This store is situated ins valley nine miles from the nearest railway station and about twentyfive miles from the nearest town. & r Larson says: "I am favored with the custom of farmers within a radius of thirty miles, to many of whom I have suppii-xl Chamberlain's remedies. All testify to their value in a household where a doctor's advice is one mile of my store the population is perhaps bixty. Of these, within the past twelve month, no less than fourteen have been absolutely cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This must surely be a record." For Rale by W, H. Sudhoff and A.

AMUSEMENTS

ARE TOP A MASON? The entertainment presented at the Gennett last evening under the above name gave universal satisfaction. Many who are not often seen in the theater were there and enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent. One man actually laughed himself into nysterics and bis friends bad to send out for a doctor but-it was done so quietly that only those right near bim knew of it until it was all over. The piece is well put together and has plenty of opportunities for good work, which the entire company are well capable of doing. The company is one of the most capable ever in the Gennett. It is the same one without any change, and with the same scenery, which packed a New York theater for two months at $2 a seat. It is to , be regretted that they did "not have a larger house, Tbe audience was not nearly so lirge as it should have been, but was enthusiastic The curtain was called up five times at the close of the second act. In this connection was shown a result of judicious advertising which might teach the general business man something. The night before we had an unworthy company It was an unknown one, presented an unknown play, and had been roundly roasted by the Indianapolis papers and everybody knew it; yet by adroit advertising the business end of the company overcame all that and filled their ho ase. Brady is the best advertiser before the public with shows, and has his interests looked after by men who know the business. KATIE EMMETT. Time and again has it been proven that in this grand country the most humble waif has an opportunity to rise to the most exalted places in the hearts of the countrymen, and "Merry" Katie Emmett, in the title role of the "Waifs of "New York," shows only tooprainly tbe large heart to be found so often under the woolen shirt of a street urchin. Miss Emmett, supported by an ex ceptionally strong company, is billed at the Gennett Saturday, and prom ises to be one of the greatest spec tacular productions to be seen this season. A carload of special scenery, fresh from the brush of the 'artist; the Brooklyn bridge scene and Miss Emmett's perilous leap, the almost miraculous escape from the burning building; the moving train are scenes long to be remembered. So closely have the management watched every detail in the preparation of this play, that they have attained a combination of mirth and pathos that is simply sublime. lewis Morrison's ''facst". Lewis Morrison's new "Faust," famous all over the country, will appear at the Gennett on next Tuesday October 22, with a cast and scenery which surpass those of all previous productions of "Faust." With a new prologue employing seventeen exquisitely painted scenes, an invisible choir and a display of electrical effects centering into one pure white ray resting on the gates of heaven thronged by the heavenly host, and a dozen other novel and startling effects, the production is bound, scenically, to be the finest ever staged of this particular play. The cleverest scenic artists and electricians of New York had carte blanche. No expense was spared and the brilliant display in the garden scene is surpassed only bv the startling pvrotechnical dis play on the Brocken which in lurid flame effects is strongly in contrast to the exquisite beauty of the final apotheosis of the hapless Marguerite The subtlety and bitterness, the tremendous declamation and the merciless gibing mockery of the insidious character of Mephisto may be enjoyed ; at the Gennett on next iuesday. Special prices 25 35-50o. NOTES.

RAISING GAKDEN TKUUK

Growth of an Important Agri- j cultural Industry. j SCPPLYISG THE LAEGE CITIES 1 Profits to Be Obtained From Small Establishment Sw tnKlautl. Xew Jersey and Loik Island tbe Prlneipal Truck Farming? Section. Interesting Facts From Aartcultnral Dalletln. In a bulletin recently issued by the agricultural department at Washington interesting Information is given regarding the truck growing industry. The New England district embraces all tbe New England states, whose crops Bupply Boston and other New England cities with late summer vegetables. This division contains the smallest area devoted to the garden truck industry of any of the districts of the coast country, and its average Individual farms are very much smaller than those found in other sections. The growing of vegetables under glass is carried on extensively around Coston and Providence, It. I., and it Is owing to this fact. that the raising of crops Is so much more expensive In New England than in other sections of the country. These hothouse vegetables are marketed In Uoston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and Chicago, where they find a rfady market and command very high prices. Notwithstanding the necessarily heavy expenses incurred in carrying on this particular branch of th garden truck industry the profit re probably larger than those received in any other part of the country, with the possible exception of a few Individual cases in Florida, where vegetables are produced in the open fields in midwinter and command nearly as high prices as those grown under glass and by the more expensive methods of New England. Boston is the center of the largest greenhouse vegetable industry In the United States. Within a radius of twenty five miles of that city may lie found over 200 acres of laud under glass devoted almost exclusively to the growing of vegetables. Lettuce, cucumbers, radishes, parsley, spinach, tomatoes, beets and parsnips are tle principal crops grown. In many instances four crops are grown annually, and. although naturally the demand for these vegetables Is greater In winter than ia summer, their excellent and unvarying quality make them eagerly sought after by both the rich and those of epicurean tastes, and they can therefore be profitably grown during all season's of the year. The wages of the men employed vary. Ordinary Lauds receive about ?-H a month. wh';!e men of more sperlence are paid from ?4j to. $60. I An overseer or superintendent of a large plant will often receive a salary as high as from $2,000 to $2,500 annually. An average modern greenhouse is about 200 by 40 feet square and costs $3,000 to build. Two experienced men can properly care for the cultivation of vegetables in such a house, and the net profits for a single year have run as high as 100 per cent on tbe money Invested, while 50 per cent Is considered a low estimate for average yearly profits. The latest and most improved methods are always employed by these New England greenhouse truck farmers. Every device ksiown to Insure the production of perfect plants is used. In some instances all surface soil to the depth of three or four Inches Is thoroughly sterilized before being placed in the greenhouses. The New York and Philadelphia district embraces New Jersey. Pennsylvania and the more southeasterly section of New York state. Including Long Island, and contributes to all of the leading markets in these states. The season in this region Is about two weeks earlier than that of the New England district and probably 1 four weeks behind Norfolk, and that portion of its area which is devoted exclusively to truck growing is much larger than in any of the other coast regions. Its season is a comparatively short one, but all the standard varieties of vegetables are grown, and they are of excellent quality. Tbe western end of Long Island la so thickly occupied by this Industry that It virtually presents to the eye tbe appearance of one great truck farm, and tbe vast output from this section is almost entirely consumed by tbe milt lions of people located within a few miles of tbe base of supply. . In this New York and Philadelphia district are located numerous large cities wbicb not only supply a market for garden truck of local production. -but wbicb draw enormously upon tbe southern districts for both fruits and vegetables. New York city is probably tbe greatest market In tbe United States for tbe trucking districts of tbe sooth. Vegetables commonly known as greens, such as kale, spinach sprouts and lettuce, bfgin to arrive early in December, and as this is close to tbe time that the supply from northern truck; farms is exhausted it virtually Insures! New York a supply of these vegetables the jar round- Florida begins to shin strawberries ia February, and in March beans, peas, asparagus, cabbages, potatoes, cucumbers and tomatoes begin to move northward. By the latter part of April or tbe early part of May the supply has become so plentiful that people f DJoderate means are able tc enjoy roanj of tbe varieties of vegeta bles grown on the southern farms wkile a few devades ago the wealthier citiJEns wire unable to jrocure a s!n g!e vegetable out of season.
