THE OPERA HoUsE.-A very good
audience, under the circumstances,
attended the Opera House last night.
Many were drawn away by the joint
discussion at Turner Hall. Other
duties prevented us witnessing but a
small portion OF the play, but we saw
sufficient to say, with great confidence,
that Hamlet" was never rendered
with greater ability in this city than
by Mr.. Gotthold last night, and our
judgment is corroborated by the
opinion of several of the best con-
noisseurs who witnessed the entire
performance. The celebrated solil-
oquy is represented as a most fault
less and consummate defamation,
ranking Mr.. Gotthold among the FIRST
orators of the age. Mrs. Coleman
Pope's rendition of Queen Ger
trude" was highly artistic, and won
her warm applause. Ophelia, the
beautiful maiden, the musical maniac
and bewailed suicide, was presented
with much ability by the accomplished
Miss Rickcords. The King" by
Mr.. G. Il. Walters. was very creditably
presented, and most of the sutordi-
nate characters were well sustained.
We hope to see Hamlet reproduced
under circumstances more favorable
to a full house. ~ -
Tonight will be devoted to comedy,
when will be produced Shakespeare s
great comedy, Tanning of d Shrew,
with a highly appropriate cast Of
characters. Those who desire a high
order of rational amusement, should
avail themselves of this opportun its

MOST LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT -
Yesterday evening, during the excit-
ing trotting match on the Fair
Ground Course, DR.. Robert King,
of Vincennes, after two of the horses
had crossed the score on the last
round downward, in the excitement
of the moment, stepped up on the
track and cheered for Billy b rrr,
when the bay horse, Point Breeze,
coming down at the rate of about
2:30, struck him, knocking him a
considerable distance. He was take n
up insensible. At last advices from
him last night he was improving
somewhat, but ti was considered ex-
tremely doubtful if he would recover
Every effort was made by the man
ayers during the day, to keep the peo-
pie off the track, but in vain, and it is
astonishing that only one person was
injured. The police force on duty
seemed to have but little influence,
as general rule. More positive rules
should be adopted and enforced.

It owes its fexibility to large number

Iwish I Had Capital

So we heard a great strapping young
man exclaim the other day in an office.
We did want to give him piece of our
mind so bad; and We'll just write to
him. You want capital, do you {? You
want capital! Haven't you hands and
feet, and muscle, and bone, and brains,
and don't you call that capital? What
more capital did God give any body !?
cob, but they are not money" say you.
Don't you know how to use them If
you don't, it's time you were learning.
Take hold of the first ploW, or hoe, or
jack plane or broad-axe that you can
find and go to work. Your capital will
soon yield you a large interest. Ay,
but there's the rub You don't want
to work you want money on credit,
that you may play gentleman and
speculate, and end by playing the vag-
abond.
Or you want plantation with plenty
of birelings upon it to do the work,
while you run over the country and
dissipate; or want to marry some rich
girl who may be foolish enough to take
| you for your good looks, that she may
support you.
Shame on you young mani Go to
work with the capital you have, and
| you'll soon make interest enough upon
| it to give you as much money as you
want and make you feel like man. If
| you can't make money on what capital
| you have you could not make it if you
had million of dollars in money. If
| you don't know how to use bone and
muscle and brains, you would not know
/ how to use gold. If YOU let the capital
that you have lie idle, and waste and
rust out, it would be the same thing
with you if you had gold; you would
! only know how to waste it.
Then don't stand about idle a great
| helpless child waiting for somebody to
come in and feed YOU, but go to work.
Take the first work you can find, no
MATTER what it is, so that you may do
| we'll. Yes, whatever you undertake,
do it well; always do your best. Ifyou
manage the capital you already have,
you will socn have plenty more to man
age; but if you can't or won't manage
the capital God has given you, you will
never have any other to manage. Do
you hear young man ?-ErchGa9e.

The Last Survivor.

The Trenton Gazette has the follow
ing:
THE last survivor of the party Of
young ladies who streWed flowers in
the path of Washington, as he passed
through this city IN 1889 on his way 30
New York to assume the Presidency is
Mrs. Sarah Hand, now ninety years Of
age, and a resident Of Cape May ooun-
~, and Notwithstanding her advanced
age is still vigorous and in good health.
On Sunday June Il, she walked TO
Church at Cape May Court House and
back to her residence, a distance OF
half a mile.
The account Of the beautiful and
tasteful ceremony IN which Mrs. Hand
took part has been so often published
that we need not repeat it here, 10 de-
tail A triUmphal arch, supported on
thirteen pillars was erected on the
bridge over the Assanping (the Greene
street bridge) with the inscription .
The Defenders Of the Mothers will be
the Protectors of the Daughter, and as
Washington passed under the arch,
the matrons aud maidens streWed the
herO's way with flowers.
The same triumphal arch was erect
ed in 1924, on the occasion Of the re-
oeptiOn of General Lafayette, and, III
we are not mistaken a portion of the
arch is now IN possession OF Benjamin
s. Brisbrow.
