THREE DEPARTMENTS.

CORN, LIVE STOCK AND DOMESTIC SCIENCE COURSES WILL. BE OFFERED INSTRUCTORS FROM PURDUE. It was reported at the meeting of the committee arranging for the corn school yesterday that general interest Is being shown In the proposed event. Members of the committee from nearly every township was present and other persons who are Interested in the school were in attendance also. It was decided to obtain a list of guarantors who will be responsible by subscriptions for funds sufficient to defray the necessary expenses of the undertaking. Every encouragement was accorded the project and it is believed the first affair of the kind to be held in this county can be made a complete buccess in every particular. The school will consist of three departments but the improvement of the standard of corn in this county will be made the prime object. Corn, live stock and domestic science courses will be offered. The corn and live stock will be for the benefit of the men and boys and a domestic science feature has been added to attract the attention of the women and girls. In courses offered by other county corn schools, domestic science has taken high rank and the department has proved one of the most popular. Women are taught the scientific preparation of food stuffs so as to obtain the best anJ most economic results by the process of cooking. Commites on printing, advertising, program, entertainment and hall were named yesterday. These committees will begin their line of work at once ko as to have all preparations attend- ' cd to as far In advance as possible. The belief was prevalent among the farmers present that an improvement in the quality of corn grown in this county is necessary and that it can be brought about by means of a corn school. Competent Instructors will be provided by Purdue university, the school being held in conjunction with that institution.

T HANSON, THE SER-,'j "VANT IN THE HOUSE n I i A man of mystery, clothed in flowing oriental robes, who reads the thoughts of those about him, and tells of the wonderful things he has done in India, is the central figure of Chas. Rann Kennedy's celebrated play "The Servant in the House," which Henry Miller is sending to this city for an engagement of two nights Thanksgiving week. This man enters the home of a clergyman in the church of England. He comes armed with letters of introduction that secures for him the position of butler. Before the end of the play the clergyman and his wife appoint him the master of the household and obey his word., They bow to he is the famous Bishop of Benares builder of a mighty church in that "Holy City" of the east. As a servant in the house, he ejects therefrom the powerful and wealthy Bishop of Lancaster, after trapping him Into a confession that his policy in raising the church fund is to divert the lion's share in his private purse, "giving as little and grabbing as much as he can." He gains the confidence of a social outcast, who comes to the house with vengeful feelings toward the vicar, and completely changes the man's character; this man under the butler's influence, forgets his wrongs and gladly faces a horrible death down in the darkness that his comrades above may be saved. And before the play is ended, every one in the audience realizes that this cibuup ui ceuarea, nisguisea as a ouiler, is in reality a reincarnation of the Christ. When the enraged Bishop of Lancaster says to him, "If I could have my way with you, I would have you publicly whipped; I would visit you with the utmost rigors of the law; I would nail you up, sir, for an exampie!" The butler significantly replies, "I have encountered similar hostility Derore, my lord, from gentlemen like your lordship." The play conveys a powerful moral lesson, but above all, it tells an absorblng story. It is a modern comedy in which humor and pathos are excellently blended. Clergymen of the cities in which it has been presenteLINE OF AIRSHIPS IS A GOOHOSSIBILITY Will Operate Between Big Eastern Cities. Boston, Mass., Nov. 9.

New York and caused a split in critical circles. Some reviewers thought the story too daring, but were not sustained by popular opinion. The majority of the critics voice such lavish upraise of the new play that it settled down to a run that lasted into the middle of the seummer. Both San Francisco and Chicago tendered "The Servant in the House" really remarkaoie ovations wnen it was presented there at the end of tho past summer, In all the cities of the west it has received nothing but the highest praise from critics, play goers and church men.

Novels in dramatized form are rap idly becoming the most popular plays of the theatrical seasons. The records for large business in nearly every theater are now held by plays that have been dramatized from a popular novel. The latest play of this type is "Jane' Eyre," a dramatization of Charlotte Bronte's famous book of the same title . "Jane Eyre" is possibly one of the most popular and widely read novels which airship the preliminary service will be begun. The plan of the promoters is to have stations, several in number between Boston and New York, with a terminal at each point. After the service has proved to be satisfactory, and the wealthy backers of the scheme claim this is certain, the line will be continued to Philadelphia and Washington with intermediate stations. Regular service is planned. The dirigible decided upon will be 150 feet long. It will be equipped with double motors capable of attaining a speed of 30 to 40 miles an hour. It will be similar to the United States government dirigible for 1909, which will be built along the same lines and capacity.

of the present generation; in a recent article in the New York World it stated that "Jane Eyre" was one of tbe 10 greatest love stories ever written. This, of course, sounds like a strong statement, nevertheless it is true. Like most novels of this class, the scenes are laid In Enerland. The dramalic version is said to follow the original manuscript very closely, making a play that is intelligent and consistent as well as amusing. There is about the play a quaint rare charm that fascinates. The story opens at the country -hnma r.f t Rhod.r Tiinmfoii Hall where Jane Eyre and Rochester first meet. Jane is the governess of Rochester's child and her devotion to her charge, her quiet self-reliance and strong independence all appeal to him and he quickly falls in love with her in spite of the fact that it is reported that he is to wed Lady Blanche Ingram. There is a family skeleton which Rochester reveals to his friend, Dr. Rivers, with the object of gaining his advice and in winning Jane's hand. Rivers, however, has alo fallen in love with Jane and, of course, does all he can to discourage Rochester, but Rochester, who is used to having his own way in everything, brushes Rivers' advice aside and proposes to Jane. He is accepted. From said, had much to do with reaching a decision as to the choice of type of sky car. Coast-to-Coast Races. Mr. Ludlow worked up considerable enthusiasm for the proposed coast-to-coast balloon airship race, planned as a feature of the Alaska, Yukon and Pacific exhibition that will be held in Seattle next summer. Several Massachusetts aeronauts have announced their intention to enter. The race will be open to all classes of airships and substantial prizes will be offered. The balloon will try to reach Boston from Seattle, the longest distance ever attempted for aerial navigation.

this point to the preparation of t'ae bride and the interrupted wedding, the revelation of the family secret, the departure of the guests, his desertion by Jane, the fire from which Rochester is rescued by Rivers only to be left blind, and the final return of Jane to Rochester, just as Dr. Rivers is restoring his sight, makes a strong, vivid story, throbbing with interest, without a dull moment or incident. The scenic investiture of "Jane Eyre" can hardly be described as elaborate: "beautiful" would probably be the word that would fit it more aptly. The cast is said to be considerably above the average and is headed by the charming young actress, Miss Pearl White. "Jane Eyre" will be the offering at the Gennett theater Saturday matinee and night, Nov. 21. Howard Hunt Stock Co. Gennett.

Ellis Graves, as whistler and imitator, has left the too-often trodden path of the average man doing his class of work and brings comething altogether new and pleasing. He has built up a very respectable patronage w the mmiitv of his work. Gill and Aker, as ventriloquists. have added many new and attractive features to their act, and never before has a better ventrilocuial number been so replete with fun and bubbling over with humor on the local stage, Les Saleures Alberty's, a family of exceptionally dexterous Europeans have the name of being first jelass head and hand balancers, both in that section of the world and this.

FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED TWICE Makes Two Runs to Extinguish Saturday Blazes. Sparks from the flue ignited the roof at the home of John Genn, 522 North Sixteenth street yesterday afternoon. The departments were summoned. The loss was very small. The departments were called to the athletic park to extinguish a fire in the first field east, that had extended to two hay stacks. The fire was beyond the city limits, but a fight would have been put up if it had been possible to lay a line of hose the great distance necessary. A line of hedge was burned out, also.

chestration of Col. Ellery's company of Italian artists. It is as follows: One flute, one piccolo, one E-flat clarinet, one oboe, eleven B-flat clarinets, quartet of saxophones, one alto clarinet, two bass clarinets, three Italian trumpets, two flugelhorns, three French horns, three altos, one trombone di canto, three trombones, two solo baritones, three basses, and three battery instruments. In the summer seasou the band is increased by about four men, but the same tone proportion remains. All of the solo-players in the band are of high class, but the trumpet and trombone artists are phenomenal. The trumpet player has but recently arrived from Italy where he was for some years the solo trumpet of the Municipal Band of Venice and his first

appearance in America was made but a few days ago in Columbus. No one can appreciate the beauty of his performance from any description that can be given of it, for it must be heard to be understood. There Is a thrill in every note and the young man, who is but nineteen, has a heart full of music and the sentiment which he possesses united to the wonderful force and clarity, produces an indescribable effect on those who listen to him. His name Is Rinaldi and he will be heard in this city either in the sextet from "Lucia" or the great quartet from Verdi's "Rigoletto." Croce, the trombone soloist, is no less a wonder than his partner. With a tone like molten gold and a facility of execution that challenges all rivalry, Croce is fully armed for the responsibilities of his position as first trombone player of America's greatest band. He will be heard here in several operatic numbers. The programs for Richmond have been announced as follows, and ever the most veritable amateur canno help but see that it Is a first class program, giving the best, as well as some highly beautiful of the popular numbers.
