ous cast,—Vanni Marcoux in the

F. J. Elder of Lord & Burnham Co. 
(Greenhouse constructors.) Feb. 20 
—W. N, Craig of the Brandegee es- 
tate (Faulkner Farms), Jamaica 
Plain. Subject, “Vegetables.” March

We regret very much that on ac- 
count of lack of space we are unable 
to print the account of the very in- 
teresting address made by F. A. 
Smith of the Essex County Agricul- 
tural school before the North Shore 
Horticultaral society at their meet- 
ing last week. It will be printed 
next week.—Ep.

the first performance of the opera 
this year. 
On Saturday afternoon, Saint- 
Saens’ “Samson et Delila” will be 
given for the fourth time, thus com- 
pleting its round of the subscription 
performances. ‘The remarkable pop- 
ularity of this work during the pres- 
ent season is beyond doubt 
largely attributed to the extraordinary 
worth of the two artists who take 
the leading roles—Mme. D’Alvarez 
to be 
as Delia, and Mr. Ferrari-Fontana as 
Samson, 
The offering at the usual scale of 
popular prices on Saturday night, 
will be Verdi’s “Rigoletto,” with 
Evelyn Scotney in the role of Gilda. 
EMPIRE THEATRE, SALEM. 
Next week, excepting Thursday, 
the Empire Stock Co, at the Empire 
theatre, Salem, will present Marion 
Fairfax’s interesting play, “The 
Talker,” in which Tully Marshall is 
now starring. The play tells the fol- 
lowing story: 
A nice surburban home, filled with 
real mission furniture, receipt for 
$100 in his pocket, and only $4,900 
more to pay seems rather good to 
Harry Lenox. With the whole 
$5,000 paid and the deed in his 
pocket, he comes home with a joy 
in his heart that even the burned 
steak cannot. stifle. 
Harry Lenox’s trouble comes from 
the fact that his wife has forgotten 
that she loved him. She has notions - 
about living her own life, the free- 
dom of the individual, the right to 
happiness, and various other sophis- 
tries which have been freely served 
up in the guise of emancipated lit- 
erature. 
What Harry can’t stand — what 
makes the worm turn at last—is the 
revelation that a man in ques-' 
tion has been using the wife as a 
cloak to cover an affair with Harry’s 
innocent sister. 
The sister goes to her shame and 
at last the wife realizes what it has 
all meant. The girl is gone. There is 
no possibility of averting the dis- 
aster, and of course, the wife’s eyes 
are now opened, 
Sawmill waste of Douglas fir, of 
which an enormous quantity is found 
in the western forests, is being used 
to make paper pulp by a mill at 
Marshfield, Oregon. 
Don’t believe all you hear. Many 
a man who never used tobacco in 
this world will need a smoking jacket 
in the next,
