The A motion picture of more than usual merit is the feature at the Breed the- ater and last evening was shown to a record attendance. It is entitled The Lost Trail and tells the story of an escaped convict for whose capture a Jarge sum of money is offered. Stimu- jated by the amount of the reward offered, a detective attempts the tesk of running down the convict, and in carrving out his plans almost perishes fin a severe blizzard. When falling from exhaustion he fires his revolver and a lone woman in a nearby cabin, hearing it, starts out for assistance. She finds the man and, bringing him to the cabin, resuscitates him, and he sends her for his tobacco, which is in his coat pocket. She discovers there the papers offering the reward for the criminal’s capture, with picture of him, who is her husband. By a clever ruse she steals his revolver from him and keeps it until her husband comes, when the detective realizes the much- ‘wanted man is almost within his grasp and, reaching for his revolver, finds the wife has outwitted him. The beautiful fantastic story of the Blograph company is entitled T.ove Among the Roses and is a gorgeous scenic @il which delights all Mr. J. H. Loud, the new baritone =inger from Boston, made a distinct hit with To the End of the World, which has bandsome efides. By a recent reorganization of the Bra- «ilian national museum, special atten- tion will be given to the study of fiber plants, insects harmful or bene- ficial to agriculture, plant disease caused by vegetable parasites, etc. The results should be far-reaching, as many vegetable products growing in profuston in the country, espcially fiber plants, have mo commercial value be- cause of lack of knowledge as to theig adaptability to industrial uses. A Scotch shipbuiding firm near Qlasgow, which has also been making eeveral types of heavy guns, is about to begin the comstruction of a plant for producing gun mountings. Con- sul J. N. McCunn says that when the new ordnance faotory is completed the firm may build and fully equip the largest battleships ready for service. 3c pays for a quart of Williams’ oot Beer. $10 won't buy a more de- ightful beverage. —adv.
