"Kerry Gor
and Lots of Irish Fun
" Tonight.
Lat night the Irish drama. "Shaun
Rhue." was played by Joseph Murphy
and his company at the JYazer thea
ter, and was witnessed by a large at
tendance. Joseph Murphy and his
plays are different from anything
that has been seen here before this
season, and consequently make a re
freshing change. In "Shaun Rhue"
the Irish life, with its wit and its pa
thos, Is shown at its best.
Joseph Murphy is a legitimate Irish
comedian, and while his wit is always
laughable, there is nothing of the
rag-time character about him. In
"Shaun Rhue" the serious and the
comic features are intermingled and
the charm of the playing is in the
delineation of the Irish character.
Tonight Kerry Cow will be played
and in it more of an appeal will be
made to the humorous side of human
nature than in "Shaun Rhue."

L -CLIP AND VULUES
According to the estimate of the
National Association of Wool Manu
facturers, the "number of sheep fit
for shearing April 1, 1904," was 38,
342,072, as compared with 39,284,000,
the preceding year.
The wool production In 1904 was
249.783.032 pounds, to which may be
added 42.000,000 pounds of pulled
wool, making a total of 291,783,032
pounds. '
The per cent of shrinkage was 61
6-10. and on pulled wool 33 per cent,
making a total scoured wool product
of 123,935,147 pounds.
The Montana wool clip was 87,773,
000 pounds, and Wyoming furnished
29.450,000 pounds.
New Mexico came third with 17,
325.000 pounds, followed by Idaho
with 14,950,000 pounds.
The value of what may be classed
as the western clip, was 332,705,781;
the southern clip, $2,369,830, and the
eastern clip, $16,713,748.
The wool clip was valued at 1 51,
789.359; pulled wool, $13,161,600. or
a total of 64.40,96.
Montana received $7,479,054 as her
share of the season's clip. Wyoming,
$4.sr9.RO. and Ohio came third with
33.396,043.
New Mexico sheared 3,150,000 head
nf sheep, for which she received $3.-
168.500, or $1 and a fraction per head.
The Utah clip brought $2,378,649,
and the Idaho ranchers pocketed 12,-
877,785.
Oregon sold her wool clip for $2,
472.260. The California clip was valued at
31.998,100, and the Texas clip Jl.
707.264. Wool clip of Delaware fetched $9,
760.. Pennsylvania sheepmen received
11.419,840, New York flockmasters
31,113,770, and Wisconsin 31,223,660.
The Michiganders sold their clip
for 32.145,000, the Hooslers got $1,
205,760, and the Hawkeye state $965,
250, and old Missouri came In for
IS91.185.
The Kentucky clip led In the south
ern states with a value of $891,250.
Illinois shepherds received $960,040
from 526,000 head of sheep. -
Alabama and Florida sheared the
lightest clip, averaging 3 (-10 pounds
Per head, and Washington the heav
iest, with eight pounds per head, fol
lowed by Wyoming with 7 3-4 pounds,
and California, Oregon and Illinois
with 7 1-4 pounds.
Wisconsin was once a great Merino
state, but In 1904 her fine wool clip
waa only 10 per ceht. while the medi
um grades were 90 per cent
Iowa's clip was one-halt tine and
the balance medium, showing an
even distribution of Merino and mut
ton breeds,
Ohio, the great Merino slute of the
Union, sheared only 40 per cent of
fllie wool In 1904, showing how large
ly the flocks in this state have been
crossed with the mutton breeds. A
still greater change has taken place
in the stale of Michigan, where only
one-third of the 1904 clip was fine
wool.
Eighty-five per cent of the Indiana
wool clfp was sheared from the mut
ton breeds. Indiana is evidently a
mutton slate.
In Pennsylvania the Merinos have
lost ground, only 40 per cent of the
1904's clip showing a fine grade und
New York's famous Merinos have ile
oreast'd In number till only oiie-llilnl
of the total clip in that state shows
fine wool.
Vermont, the home of the famous
wrinkly Merino, has "fallen from
grace," until three-fourths of her wool
clip snows the result of mutton
crosses.
West Virginia's clip shows three
fouiths of fine wool and one-fourth
tin Hum, while the wool frqin ull
oihi'r southern slates Is now classed
as medium.
, The highest average prrce paid for
scoured wool this year was 65 cents
per pound for the West Virginia clip
The average weight of fleece In
1904 Increased a quarter of a pound
over 1903.
The total wool product of the Unit
ed States hns fallen off 23.427.UStl
pounds In 10 years. ,
The largest wool clip In 17 years
was 348,538,183 pounds, in 1893.
The value of the wool clip for 1904
was (6,173,586 more thun the 1903
clip.
Peculiarities of Eyes.
The human eye In perfect condition
lg able to see objects separately that
are only one minute of arc apart Put
two objects as, for Instance, two black
circles on a white ground just one
Inch apart and then place tliein at a
distance of about 280Mi feet As seen
with the naked eye the apparent space
between the circles will be a minute of
arc. This space Is plainly the limit of
detail visible to the unassisted human
eye. Now, It might be supposed that an
insect having a compound eye, would
be able to see more detail than we can
do In other words, could separate
small objects closer together. As a
matter of fact, owing to the small
aperture of the lenses composing the
facets of the eye and the spacing be
tween the facets, Insects see less detail
than we do. Dr. G. Johnstone Stoney
calculated that a dragon fly cannot see
separately two objects which are plac
ed less than one degree apart In oth
er words, to such an Insect two silver
coins lying on a table three Inches
apart and viewed from a distance ex
ceeding fourteen and one-third feet
would appear as a single object Bees
and files, according to the same au
thority, are still more limited In their
ability to see the details of objects pre
sented to their eyes. A fly could only
see the two silver coins above describ
ed separately at a distance not exceed
ing about seven feet

Mr. Prank Graves, a lawyer of Wl-

It rought back my appetite, put
flesh on my bones, strengthened my

As we have so often stated In these

not believe there Is a person In this
