The smoke front many a cigar, stogie, pipe and cigarette curled up from the seats and spread abroad Into a blue haae. through t which object could be seen but .dimly, Proprietors of clothing stores, their clerks, brewery wagon drivers and bartenders leaned back ift the orchestra eeats. laughed loudly from time to time, and scraped their feet-en-the floor.-; The Eighth avenue girl, was there, too, chewing her gum rapidly and .. making ' remarks about other, girls present She was. In the majority- of eaaea, accompanied by a young N nian, who wore a red tie and shiny hair plastered down oyer one eye;-". A fat waiter waddled up and down the aisles with a redrbordered towel thrown over one shoulder. A arranger, would - have wondered" t what he; wa there for. If he had watched him for a few moments he would have found out. One of the red-tied young men . would, button-hole him -confidentially and whisper a couple . of words in his ear. The fat., Walter would nod understandtngly and disappear. The girl by his al de would appear entirely Oblivious of this proceeding and would seem " greatly surprised when the waiter reappeared with a large schoon er of beer and passed it out to her on, the end of a big black waiter. She hesitated a moment. Now doubt less, a stranger would say , to himself, she is rather offended by being prof fered such a gross, vulgar drink in a public place. She is rather a delicate looking young thing anyhow and ts probably unused to anything stronger than an Ice cream soda. No, she was only removing a glove. She lifts the beer with a practised hand, blows the foam, off dalntiy. . leans' forward 'that it may net drip on her Sunday dress, and drains the last dron, ' One of tbe pchoonars holda about a nuart 5' Well, what 1 the dry goods clerk and His Eighth avenu- girl but a pro totype of the country a wain, and his round-faced Marthy i at ; the ' circus!

A Dutch comedian stands on the stage talking to himself, He leans" over to pick up something. Some one runs out from a side door and . whacks ' him , with a slap-stick. The Dutchman wheels and receives a bang over the head with a football at tached to a string1 to the hands of some one tle who ImmetlTateiy darts fhrough a side door. - An Invalid with a foot well wrapped up In bandage comes in.- The Dutchman accuse him of .: being the party w ho has Just as-; saulted him, and thereupon stamx up on the Invalid'' gouty foot , The, au-t dlence howl appreciatively, . f 1 Then an array of,., damsels called "The Alcacar Beauties" came out and dih-pnrted but what's the ".user per haps It will be enough to.' say that the perform rtfe"; Was what 'is commonly described as a broad, trce er it wa yery broad. , - -5 5',' '' " . ' -"Amateur Nia-ht"'- was 'originated several ,year ago by Henry Clay Min erf proprietor of . this theater ana also of Miner's Bowery 'Theatre, In .re- eponae to unending requests from these! who? were convinced by tneir mena that they had real Stage ' talent and ought to exhibit It, he threw his stage open on 'certain nights . to amateurs. These amateur nigh ta bdcame amailng lyPPPular at once and great crowds attended them. But when a stunt failed tar "fire , pleasure, the audience got the. habit of removing the offend ing performer from the stage with a welt-aimed beer bottle or other missile that was? most - convenient. Several would-be stage favorites were so badly damaged that the proprietor was forc ed to abandotv the practice. How ever, these nights were later revived, audiences agreeing to vent their dis pleasure by. less forceful methodB. And so-amateur night -was restored to its place as the event of the week both on Elghth'avenue and the Bowery. At tlr .conclusion of the perform ance the stage . 'was cleared for action and the audience became uproarious at, once in anticipatory Joy. . - "' PRIZES OFFERED. A man in brown suit and a Van Dyke beard came to the front and an nounced that -there woiild be 12 acts to-night; with three prizes; J10 to go to the most popular, as selected by the audience, $5 to the second in favor, and $2 to the "third. ' The first- number, he read from the paper,' would be Mr. Louie Early, a singer "no, a Joker and singer." Mr. Early: i appeared. He was a young boy attired In a black sujV a natty telescope fiat hat, a white vest, and a puff tie. His face was rather "fresh" and not prepossessing. He was evidently not prepared for the critical gaze of the huge audience and stammered in stage fright. There were cries of "GO ahead. Raffles!" "Loud er!" and "WelU. go on!" "Louie" ' strove in vain to sneak There were yells of "Go ahead, do something, gay.' -something, we don't winter slt'yer an' look atchyer!" He finally told a Joke which fell flat and ended ttmld a storm of Jeers "Aw, git off,- beat it. eklddoo, next!" were hurled af. him successively by the unfeeling gallery. He tried to sing a song but someone in the gallery turned a spot light on him and a member of the ochestra fired a olstol. The au dience laughed and yelled uproariously Louie took the bint and backed off the stage. s'", A young boy whose name was not clearly announced then came out. scat tered soma sand on the floor, and be gan to shuffle., There were cries of "Turn on more power-ty!" and "Move the other foot a while. Bill!" but the boy's dancing was fairly good. He was applauded mildly and requested to move on, which he did. "Tho next On our programme," said the announcer," "is Miss Annie Martin, a singer." "AW-w-w-w!" groaned the audience. "No," contlnud the announc er. "Miss Martin says she ain't got on her make-up yet, and bo Miss Laura Hamilton will take her place." THE HEAVY BLOND APPEARS. Miss Hamilton, a large, heavy, blond yeung woman appears and casts down her eyes modestly. She starts to open her mouth to sing, and some one yells "strawberries!" Miss Hamilton Immediate y quits her song and makes faces at the audience, which screams in delight. ( She says something to the announcer, who comes to the front and says: "Miss Hamilton wants to know if any of you know a song entitled "Where'd ye git the boiler-maker?" yells a voice. Miss Hamilton looks offended and then makes more faces, defying the whole audience, which continues Its cat-calls and yells. Miss Hamilton switches off the stage In disgust, and the ' annoi'icer says: "She says you people cnu't appreciate art." which statement is greeted with a loud yel. Richards and Wil lams. dancers, are then announce Thy arc two rather well dressed boys, who really give a clever exhibition of clog-dancing. "They keep time well and rival many vaudeville productions. They leave the stage followed by hearty -applause. "Happy Joe is the next one on the program." said the announcer. "He says he didn't get a fair show last time and wants to try again. Says let him know when you get enough of it." Happy Joe came out and made a bow. He was a lltfe Italian hoy about three feet high with the large, lustrous black eyes peculiar to his people. He wore the corduroy cloth ing of a boot-black and his face shown with a recent washing. He doffed his cap, smiled engagingly, and be gan to toss three balls In the air. There were cries of approval and Joe became encouraged and rnore confi dent , From three balls he proceed ed to four, then five, trembling In his anxiety to, keep cool and not make a mistake.' He made one bad fumble, and his face fell, but he had the sym pathy of the audience now,- and they shouted encouragement. He began again and dH some very pretty work for bo small a boy. He then dis carded his balls and threw a suc cession of womnrsalt. There was something pathetic In the little Da go's eagerness and anxiety to please, and he finished amid applauHound a small nhower of pennies, which he picked up thankfully and smiled with a flush of hi white teeth. y A SIGHT FOR THE GODS. ""We will now have Miss Annie Martin, said the announcer, "a fe male Impersonator. She announces that she Wil! give ah imitation of Hap Ward, of Ward A .Vokes." The lady's" . appearance was i greeted with a prolonged and mighty yell that ech oed and re-echoed through the build ing. She was a male impersonator a l right, ss far as clothing was con cerned, but there were shouts of pity for the, unfortunate-male she thought she resembled. She wore a beard attached with a wire which persist' ed in slipping off to one elde of her face, while. the audience pounded the seats and shrieked louder, (She was truly- a Might for the gods. - - J'Hully gee for the scare-crow If came from the gallery. The descrip turn fitted her exactly. Dressed in bedraggled men's garments, she was the moscunfeminlne object Imagina ble. She began to sing fn a high, falsetto' voloe, and the orchestra broke Into loud toots With horns, drum beats and pistol .shot. Groans and howls came from the gallery, ' She began again.rtl A member of the orchestra caught tip the strain with a horn arid led it. oft Into a wall that was -In expressibly ludicrous. The lady gave him a ? most reproachful glance, and the audience rocked and Jum ped up and 'down because It, could not laugh hard enough." She did not get to ut ter a. word. She was slmp'y howled and Jeered off the stage The audi enc quickly wiped away its tears and looked for the next.-.- t-, , The newcomer was a marked con trast. S.VMIBS ; Jeannette Summer," was, announced, and' a slender; dainty young girt clad ' entirety in white came ut end looked appealiugiy at the audience,. Ah, here was where American chivalry Mme to the front! Her freshness. ; innocence and' aim- ' pllcltyv after the coarse 'burlesques of the - preceding,-' performers, . '-went straight';, to thcr hearts of: the rough howling audience and each tnember instantly became quiet as she began to sing "Makin- Eyes,'-, By K the ti$ie she reached the chorus, ah had won her; hearer '-and they Joined heartily In the well-known song.. She finished amid loud but orderly, ap plause. She sang a second song with even greater effect, , A man sitting In a box near the stage leaned out and handed her a box of candy,- an act that pleased the audience immensely. Some one in the gallery shouted out a ribald remark,- and instantly there broke out a fight which surged around and round and threatened to pitch some of the combatants over into the pit. It finally ended, and the little singer made her exit amid the wildest applause. MISS MARTIN DOES STUNTS. The announcer now came forward, and scratched his head doubtfully as he contemplated the paper In his hand. "I have an apology to make," he Bald. "It seems I have made a mistake. Miss Lily Wilson was the tramp. We will now have Mtsa An nie Martin, who' begs pardon for a cold. She will either sing or dance, as you like." - "Artnle" made her appearance, a burlesque with female garments put on hind part before. She wore a hay stack of a hat and carried a tin buoket. She started out with a Jig. "Yed better dance," yelled out a voice. "Go git a pint, den come back, Anrtie!" screamed another. But Annie continued to Jig, then began a sort of skirt dance exposing t?reat . lengths of white stocking, and finally going into a sort or imitation hoochee-coochee or can-can. She made a hit with the audience and coins began to fall on the stage, which she picked up eagerly. She was a hideous object but she pleased her crowd. Mike Morrison was announced. He will sing a song, and then another one, if you will let him," said the announcer. "Let him sing the second first!" said a voice. Mike failed to make good and was speedily bowled off. The O'Reilly Brothers came next, "to crack a few Jokes and give a scene from Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." A young boy came out made up to resemble a Hebrew, wearing a frayed false beard. Voices from the gallery: "Yer look like a horse." "Kill 'lm before he suffers!" "Bite the spinach off!" SCORN OF THE GALLERY. "These gentlemen want a set of scenery," began the announcer. Voices, from the gallery: "Give dem er Ice-box!" The stage was darkened and a greeft spot-light turned on. This did not Impress the audience and the actors were quickly yelled off, amid cries of "Twenty-free fer yours!" "O'wan back to de farm!" Daniel Thomas, a singer and dan cer, was the last on the list. He was a pleasant faced boy dressed In a messenger's "uniform. He began to elng a clear, treble voice, which made good at once and there were cries of approval. He then starterl off on a dance, doing some very clever steps which promised better things some day. He finished In an outburst of applause and was a clear favorite. The contest was now over and the announcer brought them all out and lined them up on the stage. He pointed to each one in succession and those who failed to receive any ap p'ause were quickly made to "skld doo!" The verdict of the audience was Inexorable. There remained now only the mes senger boy, the girl In white, the female W'lth tho tin bucket, the clog dancers, and Joe, the Juggler. All smiled hopefully. Again the announ cer began his pointing.- The messenger-received a mighty outburst and was awarded the first prize. The presentation of the second prize was nqv announced, and the girl in while arid the tin bucket girl were told to come to the front. They were In marked contrast, but each had their supporters who howled furiously as each performer was pointed to. The noise was about even and It was ex ceedingly difficult to decide which was the most papular. The girl in white .was pointed to an outburst of applause; the girl with the- tin bucket was pointed to another out burst of equal volume. The contest was now fast and furious. At loat as the girl In white was pointed to f ir tho fifth round, her supporters gath ered themselves -pother and fairly shook the timbers, and the second prize went to her. Her bow of thanks was received with cheers. Now It was the: luck.t girl, the team of clog dancers and littlo .Too. Tht applause siemed about even for each. Joe coifed his cap and tr'ed to smile hopefully. After sev eral rounds, the travesty with the tin bucket won out and grinned de lightedly. The curtain went down, and the last thing seen under' It was the face of little Joe, as he wlnTtd fast to keep back tho tears. CHARLES PHILLIPS RUSSELL. ARBOR PAY TOR CHARLOTTE.

It has been found that most t upland soils in tho cotton region are I acid or at least not sufficiently alka line for growing alfalfa or even good wheat and oat crops. It Is therefore desirable to try this crop agatn on dry, upland soils which have been recently, limed. Good stone lime, unslacked, can be bought In car load lots, at from $6.15 to $6.60 per- ton delivered at nearest rbttroad ataltlon In North Carolina. Five hundred pounds of this lime per acre, will make the average upland j soil sufficiently alkaline for alfalfa and all the other clovers, and also for ! the best results with wheat and oats.
