cal friends the GAZETTE will state on the
very best authority that Consul General
Horace Greeley Knowles has arrived
safely In France. The consul has written
letter to an intimate friend or two In which
he states that he has reached Bordeaux and
is In discharge OF the post. Just how Consul
Knowles is progressing cannot be ascer-
for French post by reason OF his mastery
of the language having taken 1t two years
In Delaware College course. This pro.
longed silence from the consul is truly elo-
quent and has been liperallv Interpreted as

Emmet's Welcome.

j. K. Emmett appeared last night at the
Academy of Music in his new play,
Uncle Joe.'' Surely Fritz is him
self again. His voice, which a few
years ago had lost much of it's power, is
fully restored to all of its former strength
and the songs of last night, especially
the lullaby, were sung with the ease and
sweetness which belong TO Fritz.
The play in irself is an interesting one.
and was superbly set. The scenes are all
in Australia, and the two out of door
scenes were picturesque and beautiful.
The third act of the play, in which Fritz
mistakes his fellow-boarders for the in
mates of an insane asylum. has in il
many neat little comedy scenes which
kept the audience in laughter dining the
entire act. There is a vein of pathos, too
Uncle Joe Parker's misfortunes appeal
to the sympathies of an audience. The
part was finally acted by Louis r. Grisel.
Richard Parker by no means a pleasant
character TO impersonate was we'll taken
by Louis Manni and Charles +. Fife was
a commendable Baron Won Wolfenstein.
A bright and winning Callie was Miss
Maude White. Her dialect was good and
her acting better. The honors of the
evening were shared with Fritz by little
Baby Spencer, d tiny little n who
played her role quite as well as the older
ones. Miss Lille Shields did excellently
as Mrs. Parker, and the other characters
did good work. Emmett was warmly
greeted by the audience last night when
he appeared. The music by the orchestra
was greatly improved on what it has
formerly been. The Academy orchestra
has been increased to thirteen pieces.
