While Mr. Thompson's play In Itself will undoubtedly draw out a large assemblage, yet the magnet of the greatest drawing power will be In the person of Estelle Loomis, youngest daughter of F. E. Loomis, the well known attorney, who will, on this occasion, make her first "at home" appearance since taking up the stage as a profession. Miss Loomis la a favorite in Scrnnton society and will appear as Nance, daughter of Lem Hansom, a reformed convict. The part calls for much em otion and jiathos, nnd Miss Loomis' rendering of it will be In the nature of a surprise even to those who have known of her dramatic gifts.

"The Land of Gold and Diamonds, or Ten Years in South Africa," is the ef fective title of a little book just Issued by Rev. James Hughes, of this city, formerly of Klinberly, It records many of the author's Impressions of South Africa, its people, leading men, native races, mineral and agrieultur.il re sources and social possibilities in the years to come. There is much Information in the book that many of Us should, but don't know. For instance, Cape Oolony. though larger than Texas, had before the present war only about four times the population of Scrnnton, if by popu lation we mean white persons immi grant. Minus soldiers, Its white popu lation today must be considerably less. Natal, HabUtoland, ZuUilantl, Orange Itlver State, the Transvaal and Bechu sinaland together have an area six times that of Colorado and are thinly populated; and Rhodesia, on the north, English by the grace of that remark able man, Cecil Rhodes, of whom Rev. Mr. Hughes gives some reminiscences, lias an area eight and one-half times that of Great Britain. Altogether here Is a total area more than half that of the United States, excluding Alaska an empire whose hills are full of gold, diamonds and other precious deposits and whoso valleys and plains, ample enough to sustain a population of mill ions, need only a little tickling nnd some intelligent irrigation to smile In harvests as rich as the phenomenal yields of the mines. "The great drawback In agriculture is the lack of water," writes Mr. Hughes. ".Sometimes they have no rain for five or six months. Dining such a time everything Is burned up. Beast and bird and vegetation suffer to a fearful extent. The traveler can pro ceed for hundreds of miles over the veldt and not see u blade of grass, a green leaf, or any other signs of life, and yet In less than twenty-four hours after a good shower of rain the whole veldt, which a few hours before had appeared perfectly dead and sterile, breathes and blooms; a mantle of varie gated beauty covers what a short time ago appeared like the huge graveyard of all vegetable life. If sulllclent water could be procured, farming would prove very profitable, for the soil Is eminently productive." We are told that there Is an abund ance of water beneath the surface, at distances varying from six to one hun dred feet; so that the problem of Irri gation Is not In reality dllllctilt. All that It needs, apparently, Is a gener ation of peaceful development. After reading what Mr. Hughes has to say with regard to the potential valuo of South Africa, wo are better prepared than formerly to comprehend the empire-building ambitions of Cecil Rhodes, Joseph Chamberlain, Lord Mllner and the other Englishmen who have given so much of their time and means to the development of this great area that only ti few years ago was the abode of wild men and wild beasts. The dedication of the book is to Rev. Dr. Charles K, Robinson, "with grate ful reminiscences of many kindnesses from one who might be justly described as a faithful friend, nn honorable gentleman, and a devout servant of the Lord."
