COMBINE SUFFRAGE AND AGRICULTURE Mrs. Belmont to Teach Women to Become Farmers Gives Estate.

w York, April 1. Suffrage and agriculture are to be combined in a new way by on? of the leaders in the "votes for women" cause. .Mrs. Oliver II. I. IJelmout, anfiounred recently thHt early In the spring, she will open a school of agriculture for women. Two hundred acres of land opposite ber country estate Hrockholst. at Hempstead. Iong island, have been set aside for experimental work, and Mrs. Helmont hopes to give young Klrls and woman a new and Interesting way of earning a Ihlng which will at the same time make them ki ranger, healthier and liappier citizens than when working In shops or offices. This Idea of teaching young women to till the soil and make It earn a livlihood for them has been long in Mrs. Belmont's mind. She said yesterday 1hat for at leu st. two yearB she has been planning the agricultural school but not until recently had she been able to perfect its plans. "T,here are many women wage earners today who entr thf already overcrowded field of unskilled labor because they have neither the incentive nor tho opportunity to learn more remuenratlve occupation," Mrs. Bolmont sail In explaining the schoolmotive. "The shirtwaist makers' strike hist yer In New York and the garment workers' strike in Chicago this year revealed working conditions fearful to contemplate. While these young girls have been passing the best years of their lives In sweatshops, overcrowded workrooms and unsanitary tenements, and being paid less than a living wage for their work, our rich soil has been, spasmodically tilled by nomadic tramps staying at one farm just long enough to work iheir way to tho next town to spend the money they have earned." On Mrs. Belmont's estate a great deal of gardening Is done, and she declared it was partly on account of the inexperienced and unreliable men on whom she was forced to depend for the cultivation of fruit and vegetables that she had determined to give as unany women as possible an opportunity to compete In this work and show that women can equal, perhaps sur8ass. men as farmers and gardeners. Prockhurst is near enough New 11 om iu inaae 11 a klmcuuiu tiuuiiiy bibn for the great city markets, und Belmont hopes to have within a am little card en nlots. sclentifultivated. laid out on Lone isthe owners or tillers thereof. hopes will be suffragists, g their share to the New ets, receiving in return a oricn dcii ncipcra. There is Pa general impression in the city," nitded Mrs. Belmont, "that women can not do farm work, though the fanifr declares that his wife and slaughter are his best and most reliable helpers. This statement has been proved by the few women who are today .nanaging and working farms. "I wuiU some of those pallid heekrd. hard worked girls In tho factories and shops to give up their city work and try farming'." I hopo to thow them that farming" tfiay be made mofe profitable ihah factory work, that It. will bo muiilt pleasanler to do. and that girls will grow strong, robust and rosy cheeked After a few weeks of garden work. These girls will be better citlions, better mothers and better helpmeets If they exchange their tiring rlty toll for outdoor work which will be pleas nt as well as supporting. "There will be a matron on the farm. Mrs. Williams has already been chosen for this position. She is n splendid, motherly woman, who will make for the home life and recreation of the place. She will teach the girls rooking, housekeeping and home making. ' Quaker Woman at Head. "A Quaker woman will be at the eal of the agricultural school. She Is a woman from Pennsylvania whom have known some time and who has shown Iwrself to be capable of filling this position. "At flMt the girls will have half or quarter acres of the Brockhurst estate act aside for them, and they will begin at once to plant seeds, cultivate the soil and study scientific farming.

"HAPPY" JACK PARSONS AT They will be paid while learning this work and th ir wnges will be increased proportionately with the work produced. "It Is my earnest hope." Mrs. Belmont went on. "that th- girls will eventually try to acquire a little plot of land of tln r own, with u house and garden, and thereby obtain an economic independence that jears of toil in a city factory or a store will not give them." Those who desire to lease small plots of land from Mrs. Belmont will be allowed to iio so. but it is expected by the organizer that the girls who will have learned farming at the school will take up land elsewhere for themselves and give other girls a chance to cultivate the Brockhurst acres after s ientilic methods. Lectures on .suffrage and other subjects will be iven at the farmhouse, a fine old building with accommodations for about t went -five persons. Mrs. Belmont herself will keep constant watch owr the progress of the school. It is her pet suffrage scheme. Women who desire to avail themselves of the opportunity to become experienced gardeners and farmers may apply for iwlinission to the agricultural school by v riling to the Political Equality association, Mrs. Helmont's suffrage headquarters, at ."t."i Fifth avenue. GRANDMA'S ADVICE. Many articles of wearing apparel, table linens, bidding, towels and other materials are ruined long before their time. If these things did not have to be washed they would wear much longer, but the common, strong, yellow soaps mi generally used are full of rosin and free alkali that rot and eat into the fabris, causing them to tear with the slightest strain. Just try Hewitt's Easy Tusk soap made of cocoa nut oil, borax, naptha and clean tallow. It handles the dirt in a hurry, but doesn't harm fabrics, and then, too. it costs but a nickel. GREAT ORCHESTRA CANNOT PLAY HERE I'nion troubles have nriscn which will make it impossible for the Richmend Svmnhoiiv orchestra to ulav at 'the Chautauqua this summer as had been arranged by the program committee. Bland s band, a non-union organization, has been contracted for and as many of the leading members of the local orchestra belong to the musicians' union they cannot play on the same occasion with the other organization. It would be impracticable for the Bland s band contract to be cancelled. A i Local Theaters At the Gennett. Time there was when a handful of actors, with a nondescript collection of old time plays, without special scenery and a specialty, now then by the comedian of the company was considered the regulation stock company. But. in the mad race of comxetitton during the past few years, the modern, up-to-date company must carry from twelve to twenty selected artists headed by one or two popular stars, a car load of scenery, electrical and mechanical effects galore, to say nothing of a line of vaudeville that would constitute a show in itself. And. then, the playsdayg of "East Lynn" etc.. are over. The public wants big massive productions of later day plays. In fact everything has been improved and elaborated upon except the prices. Those have steadily declined until now a full evening's entertainment of drama, comedy and vaudeville, with an everchanging paajrama of scenery, is given for ten. twenty and thirty cents, a price within the reach of all. Such a company is the McNavin Stock Company comiug to the Gennett for a week's engagemect commencing next Monday. Murray Today is your last opportunity to ee the big vaudeville show of all

To every reader of the Richmond Palladium who wishes to eradicate disgusting dandruff, stop falling hair, and have an immaculately clean scalp, free from itchiness, we make this offer: Leo H. Fihe will return your money, without red tape, if Parisian Sage does not banish dandruff, stop falling hair and itching scalp in two weeks. Parisian Sage is sold by Leo H.

During the troubles at Crete in 1897 the Seaforth higblanders were landed to help to restore order. Their advent, dressed fa the familiar kilts, created a great sensation, as the natives, who themselves wear a kind of kilt, had never seen British soldiers in such a costume. Au amusing incident occurred one day when a party of Sea fort hs were marching through a small, wretched looking village. As usual, the inhabitants turned out to stare at the soldiers, and one of the higblanders with a view to raising u laugh among his comrades shouted out to a group of Turks, "Gae ha me. ye dirty blackguards, an scrub yersels." Imagine his astonishment as well as that of the remainder of the higblanders when a ragged and evil looking Turk shonted back In reply, "Go home yourself. Scottish Jlog.tand over yourself up!" It was afterward discovered that this Mohammedan bad spent several years in London and so learned the language. From "Anecdotes of Soldiers In Peace and War," by J. II. Settle. Oratorical Effects.

But his every word, and not only bis every word, but his every gesture, was unmistakably prepared. He seemed to gesticulate not only with bis bands, but with his legs.

Having to deliver a Fourth of July oration, be introduced n veteran of 1312. put him in a conspicuous place and told the old man to rise to bim at bis entrance into the ball. The old man did as be bad been bidden. Everett apostrophized bim with "Venerable old man. sit down! It is not for you to rise to us. but for us to rise to you." The veteran said afterward: "Mr. Everett is a strange mau. He told me to rise wben he came into the hall, and wben I did rise be told me to sit down." From Gold win Smith's Reminiscences in McClure's. The Lightning Rod. Though Franklin will continue to receive the honor that is his due as the inventor of the first practical lightning rod. the study of atmospheric electricity goes back at least to the time of Tulllus Ilostilius. who perished in an attempt to "draw fire from the sky." A learned priest of the name of Divisch is said to have erected the first lightning conductor In Europe, lie set it up at Prendiz. Bohemia, in 1754. and it was 130 feet high. Though the Emperor Stephen and the Empress Maria Theresa publicly proclaimed their confidence in the inventor, a most disastrous drought that afflicted the country a year later was ascribed by the superstitious populace to the newfangled device, and Divisch was compelled to take it dowu. It is not probable that Franklin was acquainted with Divlsch's experiment. Sore Throat Prudence. No family medicine chest is well stocked without a bottle of TONSIUNE, for you don't know what moment it may be needed to cure a suddenly developed case of Sore Throat. Don't take unnecessary chances, because Sore Throat seems a little ailment. It may be Tonsilitis, Quinsy, Croup or Diphtheria tomorrow.

NEW YORK TREATED

HEW "BLUEBEARD Maeterlinck-Dukas Version ! Differs from the Old- ! er Offering. j i Xew- York, April 1. "Arien et Bar- 1 be Bleu" a lyric story in three acts by Maurice Maeterlinck, the music by Paul Dukas, was performed for the first time in this country at the Meti ropolitan opera house. The produc- i tion of a French nevelty in a season i by no means rich in its Gallic reper- j tory was without question an interesting incident, and the work disclosed iteslf as one well worthy of serious consideration. The audience was large and its attitude disclosed a measure of real interest. But the opera going public : is not noted for its poetic imagination and both Maeterlinck and Dukas ask for it. Their Blubeard legend is founded on an old motive, and the variations are many and interesting. All the old versions of the story represent the wife as rescued by friends. But Maeterlinck has made a version quite contemperaneous. The i woman is emancipated: she saves herj self. She would also save all her predecessors in the toils of Bluebeard. but they are supine women who prefer j the certainty of a home and a living. Maeterlinck has injected into the iohl legend the serum of symbolism, 1 but as a drama it is vital and absorb ing, even when this symbolism is left out of account. A part of the symbolism deals with the five wives whom Ariene finds alive in a subterranean prison when she enters the forbidden porta!. Music Latest French Type. Three dramatic acts tell the story of the opsra. The music is of the latest French type. The music of each of the three acts is conceived symphonically. The act is treated as a complete movement, and the devolopment is closely knit. The building up of the music of the first act is excellent and presents o the audience opulent variety of color and movement, as well as comprehensive illustration of the incidents. But that of the second is even more striking, for here the composer has, perhaps, a better opportunit. The groping of Ariane in the dark and her endeavors to gain the confidence of the imprisoned women, to whom ber ardent affection goes out, are depicted 'in drab and melancholy monotones with elusive Debussian harmonies. But when Ariane discovers and opens the hidden window and the light of the outer world enters the musicbecomes resplendent in melodic, harmonic and instrumental richness. Climax Genuinely Dramatic. The climax is not only one of great symphonic ' power,"but it is genuinely and influentially dramatic, and operating in union with the extraordinarily pre-Raphaelite picture of the women among the flowers, it brings the act to a lovely close. The music has logical sequence. The 1 hematic ideas are neither too numerous nor too eager to enter into details. The climaxes are excellently prepared and disclosed. The instrumentation is beautiful and characteristic. Miss Geraldine Farrar is singularly successful as Ariane and the five op pressed wives, though not easily differentated are competent. Least of all to do has Barbe Blue, and Mr Rostner does it very well. FARMER'S WIFE HAD HEAP TO DO Mrs. Shepherd Was in Bad Shape When She Could Not Stand on Her Feet Durham, N.

PILES OF MONEY AT BRMMrS HOTEL Minton, Anti-saloon League Attornev, Got Gambling Evidence. Indianapolis, April 1. Just to assure himself that gambling on a large scale is actually in progress at French Lick. R. C. Minton. attorney for tho Indiana anti-saloon league, says ho dropped into Al Brown's old place and saw the real thing. "It's a regular Monte Carlo." said Mr. Minton. "I with some acquaintances walked right into the gambling room without any trouble and sawgambling going on for some time. Piles of money were lying all about, and were bing shifted around with great rapidity. 1 saw one man win $50 in five minutes. The gamblers seemed to be a fashionable set of people. Many dress suits were in evidence. I was told that the gambling place is frequented mainly by wealthy people from t'hic.igo, Cincinnati and Ixmisvillc. "Aiiy stranger is admitted to the gambling place without any question, but all persons living in the vicinity arc barred out. The gamblers do not Seem to fear any interference. Such a thing is an outrage on the good name of the state and should be stopped." One reason, Mr. Minton says, that the people of Orange county do not start a fight to have the gambling stopped is that all of them are kept, out of the place, and therefore none of the local people is injured by it. Mr. Minton says he understands that Brown, who formerly operated tho place, is not there any more, but that it is leased by other people.
