"Dkii'I Hoonf."
Messrs. I'eck A Fursinau, who
have had a long and very extensive
experience as theatrical managers,
and who pissess a liberal allow
ance of brains, energy and means
regard the American people as
possessed of a critical and discrim
inating judgment in the matter of
amusements. In this behet they
happily hit upon the idea of giving
the public a play that should be
thoroughly and distinctively
American. How well the idea was
received is told by the great sucess
of "Dau'l I too ue" the past tour sea
sons. Believing that the trails,
dangers and privations of the pio
neers of this country would furnish
good material for such a drama, the
life of Dau'l Hooiif was selected as
beingthe most prolific with inci
dents from which a good drama
could be written. The selection
was a wise one. His personality
stamped him as one of Nature's
noblemen. Incapable of fear, a
bold and ordinal character.in limes
of danger cool anil daring, and in
times of peace gentle as a child;
his life teemed with dramatic inci
dents, wh icb have been introduced
in the now famous play vv hicb bears
his name. The play depicts faith
fully and in a fascinating manner
the life of Boone and his com
panions, from the time they first
settled in Kentucky. Showing
their happy home there; the up
rising of the Indians; the burning
of Boone's cabin and the capture of
his two daughter. Then follows
in dramatic succession the Indians
incampitient; the attempt of a res
cue and capture of Hoone; his fain
oils denunciation of Simon Girty;
the preparation ol the Indians for
his torture; his unexpected rescue
by his faithful horse, and his sub
sequent thrilling knife fight with
the Indian chief, for his child's life,
ending in his victory anil the exter
mination of the Indians by the
settlers. 1 )on't fail to see it at the
Waterman to-morrow night. Don't

We left l-'alls Cieek, ciiroute for
Niagara Falls, via the Huffalo,
Rochester V I'ittsbur" R. R., which
crosscH the mouiilains via the
Hradford oil districts, reiicliin the
highest point of the Alleyhany

of any importance is Johnsonhurfr
Here the visitor finds natural as

largest paper mills in the world.
Johnsonbur;, on the whole, in one
of the best business points in Penn
sylvania. Our next stop is at Kin
yite bridge. This is the largest
trestle bridge in the world. The
length is almost 4.INKI feet and the
height is H0. feet. A look at this
bridge is well worth a week's travel
alone. The tops of the trees tower
1"8 feet above the barge, and to
stand on the bridge and look down.
ward to their tops, presents a sight
wonderful to behold. I he tram
made a stop on the center of the
bridge and the passengers were
permitted to take a view of the
iiridge, mountains ami valleys. e
then started on our journey again,
well pleased, bong before we
reached Hradford, oil wells became
numerous; the mountains wen
covered with them, even to the
highest peaks. There are now,
li.Ttfi wells in operation in this i
district. The majority of these
were once flowing wells, but
pumping is now necessary in most j
of them. Natural gas is abundant.
The yield of oil from each well is
from two to lifly barrels a day, and
is sold for about sixty cents a bar
rel. One of the most beautiful
sights we witnessed was a large oil
well tank pot on fire. We passed
through the state of New York, and
in)' first impressionsof that country
were certainly not very flattering.
It is without exception the poorest
country I ever saw no crops to
speak of, not much fruit, and (lie
cows are about as large as a
Nebraska goal. They have a few
fine horses. From Huffalo to
Niagara we pass through a very
beautiful country, but as to its
productiveness I cannot vouch
Hv the way, Kutf.ilo is a iiisliinti
cent city, located on the e;ist end of
l.ake ICrie; it is the heme of that
man of destiny, Grover Cleveland.
Arriving at the falls we spent a
day visiting the cataract and other
places of interest. We v isited I. una
Island. Goat's Island, the Great
Whirlpool, Cave of the Winds, Rock
of Ages, and took a trip on the
"Maid of the Mist" to the foot of the
Great Horseshoe Falls. Here you
first re.di.e the majesty and power
ol nature's greatest wonder. We
next crossed the great suspension
midge 10 me queen s dominions
ami went up to the park on the
Canadian side. Here you get a
better view of the falls. The sus
pension bridge is a wonderful piece
of work. Its length is 1,'JUS feet;
length of cables, 1.M0 feet; height of
bridge from river to roadbed, I'.HI
feet; height of tower, PKI feet above
the bridge. In obedience to a
request Iroin i'rof. Halsey, we lind
that the falls have receded 1 .'1.7 feet
from 1M. to 1M! ), and that only one
seventeenth of the water passes
overthe American Falls, one-fiftieth
over the Centre Falls and the balance
over the Canadian side, or the
Horseshoe Falls. Only about one
fourth of the Horseshoe Falls
belong t the queen. I got a few
specimens of rock out of the Cave
of Winds, under the American
Falls, but my advice to travellers is
to stay out of this part of lite fails
unless they are very plucky; indeed,
it is euoiin to scare a Cass county
democrat out of politics. We next
visited Toronto, Staplehurst and
Rochester, but will give a descrip
tion of these points some time in
the near future. H.
