for it is from the pen of Mr. George Hooy ,

that the public has seen from his pen shows
hat ho possesses more genuine constructive
lower than more pretentious dramatists.

goodly number of songs , dances and other

these Irish comedy dramas , and few actors
" : iavo over endeared themselves more thor
oughly with the people than those who have
[ listtnguishod themselves in these plays in
iiuestion. The great scene of the play is in
the "Giant's , C.ivo , " and the dancing never
fails to please all in the audience. The bag-
plpo player is also a popular feature. The

inee "True Irish Hearts" trill bo produced.

Br.uider Matthews nnd George II. Jcssou ,

beautiful and elaborate character , as well as
a very strong cast.
On Wednesday night , the last of Mr.
Crane's engagement , he will appear in n
douhlo bill of great strength. First ho will

Mrs. Carroll , of Ogallaln , a sistcr-in-luw
of Mra.V. . A. Paxton , arrived in the city
Into Thursday night and went at once to the
Paxton residence. She inaOo herself Itnown
10 the Borvnnt3 , nnd at once retired. Mr.
and Mrs. Pnxton were away from homo ,
being In.ChicaKO on a visit. Early Friduy
morniiiR the servants noticed a strong smell
of pas and soon traced it to the room occu
pied hy Mrs. Carroll. When the room was
entered the gas was found turned on and
Mrs. Carroll was lying In bed unconscious.
A physician was at once summoned ana
worked unceabitih'ly , but at a late hour last
night had not succeeded in restoring her to
consciousness.
Mrs. Carroll is ahout seventy years old ,
and , although possessed of sound lungs and
a strong constitution , it is feared the brain
has been seriously affected and the prospect
for recovery is not encouraging.
Ono of the servants stales that Mrs. Car
roll looked palo and ill when she arrived und
complained of not feeling well.
A lady in the neighborhood noticed a light
in the room occupied by Mrs. Carroll about
a o'clock Friday morning , and it is thought
she was taken side during the night and lit
the gas. Whoa aho turned It off she- must
have thoughtlessly turned it partly on again ,
as it was found turned on ,
Mr. and Mrs. Paxton returned homo yes-
tcrduy noon , and are doing ovorythlnif in
their power to aid ia Mrs. Carroll's recovery.

The be&t paid literary worker in
America to-day is Mrs. Frances Ilodg-
son liurnott , says the Chicago Times.
The Bale of "LUtlo Lord Fountloroy"
has already brought her $20,000 and for
months the dramatic right to the pluv
increased her bunk account from $1,000
to 82,000 a week. The profits of "Sara
Crowe' ' to date are something over 811-
000. She has a $15,000 contract with
some Now York publibhers to wrlto u
story for their weekly paper , and also
has at her disposal an offer of $10,000 ,
for a grown-up "Lord Fountloroy. " So
it will ho soon that this remarkable
woman has little cause to complain of
the appreciation in which she is hold
by the public. After Mrs. Burnett , A.
C. CJunter , in tlio la&t your or so , has
probably earned more by his pan than
any other American writer. Not long
ago he fcuid that ho had made from "Mr.

Now that corn is abundant in the
west , much of it will bo wasted by care
less foedsng. "When corn is worth M
or 40 cents per bushel it is fed with a
good deal of cnro. but when the pricu
falls below 20 cents it is fed not only
lavishly , but much of it is actually
thrown uwuy. Tlio waste in feuding
hogs on seine { arms is utterly inexcus
able. Knough in wasted in a few weeks
by throwing it in the mud to buy boards
for n lloor that will last for years , says
the Nebraska Farmer. Seine farmers
have the idea that all that ib needed to
feed hogs is In shovel out onoui'h corn
to Inst two or three days.
It is quite true Hint corn is likely to
bo low. The word has gone out thut
the west IIIIH a crop of unexampled mag
nitude. This is a mistake. Tlio crop
is n good ono , but there have been bol
ter. Low prices for the time will re
sult from this ovor-cstiinato , and at
these prices corn will bo a& good prop
erty us government bonds , It ma fool
ish and utterly inexcusable thing to
waste it because it is plenty and cheap ,
