AT THE THEATERS Stock Company at Gennett. With the performances of this afternoon and tonight, the Cutter Stock Company will conclude a successful appearance for the week at' the Gennett. The bill this afternoon will be "The Country Girl" and that for tonight is "Deadwood nick," a play that never fails to arouse interest among young tand old. It is probable the week will end with as large an audience as greeted the opening performance and that was one of the best that has ever greeted a repertorire company at the Gennett. Other repertoire companies have been booked for appearance at the Gennett later in the season. "A Wife's Secret" Gennett. A beautiful emotional drama, "A Wife's Secret," is said to be, which will bo seen at the Gennett Thursday, August 9th, under the direcyin of Spencer and Aborn. This successful play, now on its third season, is reputed to present amost inle resting and attractive story, which sets forth a powerful warning to young wives, and a still stronger plea to a man's honor and consideration. As a picture of real .breathing human nature, it is said to be without a peer in the Held of emotional drama, and this claim has been substantiated by the remarkable success it has won all over America during this -and the past two seasons. The role of leading interest, the girlish and beautiful wife of a young clergyman, who is turned out of a happy home for her fancied wrong-doings, and because of the malicious scandalizing of her enemies, and the compromising advances of an unscrupulous man, is played by Miss Grace Hopkins, who is one of the best known of the younger leading women in this country, and she has been surrounded by a cast, it is claimed of the highest excellence iu every particular. , Vaudeville at the Phillips. A revised version of the well known IKH'tical effusion is that "men may come and nun may go but. the New Phillips vaudeville goes on forever." With no apparent lagging of interest on the part of his patrons and with the same determination to please and give even more than the worth of the money Manager Murray comes forward with the announcement of a strong and lively bill for next week; in fact it is exrected that

it will be rather, of ,Uie noisy." kind

but the kind of noise that vaudeville patrons like noise that Levin and Jackson, who will present a comedy playlet, "A Matrimonial Fly," that is heralded as one of the most amusing of vaudeville turns; Clayton Hufford in illustrated songs; Lenord and Fulton, who are said to be among the leading exponents of Irish comedy and who will present one of their greatest hits, "Mulligan's Masquerade;" Tom Mack, the minstrel man, one of the best in his line; Barnes and Edwins, in their travesty, "The New Tenant" reputed to be a sidesplitter; the Two Closes in acrobatic work and foot posturing, and the Philoscope, showing the latest motion pictures. Tonight's performance will conclude a pleasing program that has enjoyed a liberal patronage. Saturday night always brings out one of the best crowds of the week.

The Young Men's Christian Association Committee is Quite frequently asked if it will solicit subscriptions for the new building from women, and girls, and parents who have daughters; but no sons in their homes. As nearly as possible, every person in Richmond; m:in and woman, boy and girl will be given an opportunity to help in this movement. It is a matter of vast importance to the parents of iiirls what kind of young men are to be the companions and husbands of tVir daughters. It is the mothers and wives who must suffer the heart aches brought about by incompetent and vicious husbands and it naturally follows that the coming husbands and home-makers among the youns nun of a community should have proper environment for their best development. Above all, in our inter-dependent civilization, where our individual lives mean so much to thoe around us. we should each bear our portion of the burden that makes the community safer, saner and better for the whole. . . w - Many a person pays school tax who has not a su :;!. child to be educated, but they are required to do so because they the hevefit of living in an educated and enlightened community. A;ri!i. we of this prosent day are enjoying the benefit of our fore-fathers sacrifice, and so should we do something for posterity. Money and sacrifice put into a Young Mens Christian Association for the proper development of the Young Men and Boys of Uuhtnond will d much for tie future homes and welfare of this city. The Committee believes that a great many mothers, sisters and parents of daughters will be glad to do their best for this move in behalf of the Young Men and Us of Richmond. , ,

TURNING THE COLORADO. Effort to Be MJo to tict It Dark to Original Coarse. An army of men wiil shortly begin the titanic struggle with the rushing Colorado river, attempting to cheek the devastation which the change in the river's course has brought to two states. Three hundred square miles flooded, 2O0 miles of railroad tracks washed out, a thriving industry ruined this is the record of the destruction caused by the river breaking through its banks and Hooding the surrounding country. The Colorado river is the dividing line between Arizona and tho southern portion of California. Most of the water has poured into the Yuma basin, la Arizona, but the flood has also brought destruction to the one industry In the miles of the burning southern California desert. The Salton sink, once a part of the Pacific's bed, but for centuries past a level bottom of pure salt harvested year after year for the markets, has- been Hooded, and the unique salt farm has been wiped out of existence, temporarily at least. Hopes are held forth that the work which the Southern Pacific Railroad company is to begin will make the salt industry possible there again and that once more the little village 'of Salton, where '.he salt workers lived, will be popu'ited.?!'1 'vV" . -To operate this novel salt farm a low was designed, drawn by a cable ttached to a small steam locomotive. This locomotive passed to and fro on a miniature track, and by means of a big grooved wheel, set horizontally in the fashion of a street cable, the plow was drawn at right angles to the en gine. Plowed into furrows, the salt was heaped in great cones, placed in cars and shipped to the market, the greater part of it requiring no refining process, so pure was it. The salt farm was a profitable indus try, and the operating company built a little settlement at the foot of the mountain. Here the salt was treated when necessary, and here were the homes of the workmen and their fam ilies. But at the present the village is wrecked and the farm deserted, for it has become, literally, another Great Salt lake. New York Tribune. ' ' ' Prlntfnff InU.

STUDY FOR SCULPTOK6.

Slodem Ill&ctis Tliro-rvcr Strikes a tirneefnl Attitude. "If any of otir sculptors are seeking for a new- subject." remarked an artist who was sitting through a set of athletic games at whiea Martin J. Sheridan was giving an exhibition of his skill at throwing the discus, "there is the man for them to Mudy. Just watch him tfce next time he throws the thing from my point of view and see if you don't think they would be rewarded for their study." The spectator to whom this remark had been addressed kept his eye on the hero of the Greek games from the viewpoint of his sculpturul possibilities, and this is the impression be received: A tall young muu in a white, sleeveless Jersey, running trunks and black spiked shoes sUnxi quietly out in the middle of the Held while a smart summer shower dampened bis bluck -hair until it was streaked down over his low forehead. His chest was unusually broud and deep, his shoulders square, the muscles of his leg having their greatest development in their long sinews rather than in cltcmuference. His repose was the most striking thing about him after his muscular development, for he rarely moved, talked little and laughed or smiled less. It was plain he took his work for the moment seriously. Nor when it came his time to throw the discus did he alter his manner, except to grow more intense, if anything. Grasping the circular disk of wood and metal, he, made one preliminary and wide sweep of his body and arms, the movement being noticeably slow, and then as he gathered the necessary momentum he twirled with almost incredible speed twice around on his toes, the second revolution carrying upward until it seemed as if he must necessarily leave the ground and fly up into space, so full of the suggestion of flying was the tense, beautifully graceful figure. As he rose on his toes In one of those revolutions of his body his figure had more grace than that of the classical ' Discus Thrower" and suggested flying more than does Diana, on her tower or the angel fluttering before Sherman as he marches to the sea. Any sculptor who can create that effect in bronze is likely to be ranked among the masters of his kind and will do something far and away above the tinkling golf players or footbnll warriors that so far represent the highest flights of our sculptors in works iu the field of sport. New York Press. Dante' Wife. Gemma Donati, Dante's wife, was n dame of portentous physiognomy and a deep, tragic voice. She henpecked him severely, a fact which perhaps explains the absence of her name from his writings. To Iteatore the Perfume. It is claimed that the perfume of flowers disappears as soon as the starch in the petals is exhausted, and it may, It Is said, be restored by placing the flower In a eolutloa of sugar, when the formation of starch and the emission of fragrance will be at once resumed.

THE BIG CIRCUS COMES TUESDAY

Hagenbeck Shows Will be Visited by Great Throngs of Country Folk. nsr A WONDERFUL ENTERPRISE GREATEST AND MOST COMPLETE TENTED AGGREGATION NOW TRAVELING SOME OF THE MANY STRIKING FEATURES. Richmond will be thronged with visitors next Tuesday. The great Hagenback circus and trained animal shows, the greatest tented exhibitions will be here that day. The idea may prevail that tha Hag.tibeek shows are distinctly and solely trained with best exhibitions, for the name of Carl Hagenbeck has hitherto conveyed such an impression. This, however, is not the case. The newer fail Hagenbeck Greater Shows comprise a triple featured enterprise that embraces a three riiiR circus, au East Indian IVraheia and an enlarged trained wild beast exhibition. Three practically distinct ami complete shows, each radically different from the other, have been merged into a consistent whole. Individually, either from standpoints of extent or worthiness, they would compel attention, and presented together they make for a proposition that is astounding. The tents are said to be tho biggest ever constructed and the paraphernalia is all new. Tho services of one thousand eople and four hundred horses are required. Three hundred arenic champions participate in the circus programs which embrace countless so-called feature porordinances and many orthodox acts necessary to give the proper circus atmosphere. The majority of the performers are from foreign countries and very few of them every appeared in America. Three rings, two elevated stages, an aerial enclave and hippodrome circle are necessary for the exploitation of their various feats. There are presented two score of male and female equestrian stars in all new riding feats; a smany aorlalists of both sexes, giving a complete and thrilling midair circus; a complete clown colony of forty; acrobats, gymnasts, leapers, equilibrists, wire walkers and rope dancers; dancing diver tisements, inspiring and beautiful tournaments ballets and races in. fact, every sort of performance that a well-regulated up-to-the-times circus have and numerous startling exhibits that no other shows present. The East Indian Perahera is absolutely original with and presented only by these newer shows as the third feature of their comprehensive programs. It Is described as a series of complex presentations participated in by one hundred Hindoos, men, women and children. In the free street parade of the morning they appear Iu an exact reproduction of an East Injdian ceremonial procession, which, for great pomp, opulence and bewilder lng'brilliancy has never been equaled by any pageants of the past or present. Previous to the afternoon and evening performances the entire Hindoo colony, in native habilaments and' natural environments, will be seeniin an annex to the menagerie tent. Here opportunity will be offered for close range inspection and study of these strange and interesting people. Artisans will be at work, housewives at their duties and children at play. Necromancers and sorcerers will per form the mystifying feats for which the Hindoo faker is famous and unequalled. Snake charmers and sword swallowers will excite the greatest wonder by their weird feats; semibarbaric warriors will demonstrate the uses of their queer impliments of war; fire-worshipers will be seen at their devotions and devil dancers la their orgies, while beautiful and bejeweled nautchnis will delight tho senses with sinuous native dances. 'At a later period the entire circus arena will be given over to the Hindoos for a production of a native mela or fair. the entire colony appearing as arenic I performers in curious feats demon strating dexterity ana displaying i great strength. Nothing of a similar character has ever been presented in America. Gave a Unique Party. New Paris, O., Aug. 3.
