Daniel sullY.

Daniel Sully, the eminent Irish comedian,
will appear at the opera house Monday,
Aug. Is, for q four nights engagement.
There will be a different play each evening.
The opening performance will be the
charming railroad comedy. "The Million
aire." Mr.. Suily Is a neutrality-suspicious. and
manly actor, hsreeablv free from manner
isms and stage atfectation. The Mil
lionaire" is q play of marked dramatic
possibilities, with = story that s~ustains its
interest to the end. 1t ia not lacking in
realism, tho railroad building in the sec
ond act being PARTICULARLY lifelike. 1.-The
Millionaire" is one of those plays that will
excite critical euthusiasm.a nd it has many
e1cellencies that other dramas of the
present day DO not possess. In the first
place it aims to present a moral hero
drawn from actual life. and it does
present him without any e]xtraneous
theatric nonsense and without any sophis-
try. 1t Is the story of ali lrishman who is
proud to be an American, and who has a
clean, healthy, sim pls sense OF the heroism
Of labor and the honor of doing his duty.
The play has an ethical and a literary
value. hlr, Sully in tins play presents a
manly, unpretentious type of IrishInan, in
contradistii elton TO ths worn out stage
type. And he plays the parsonage with II
sim pie sincerity that ia very affective and
admirable.

A Wonderful Run Of Fish

Profitable fishing along the whole
Carolina coast this season has never
been excelled. The number caught
has been startling. We have been
told of the enormous quantities
caught at Morehead and Roanoke.
The Elizabeth City Carolinian says
the number of blue-fish caught
about there was never so large be
fore. Tremendous quantities are
being brought to that city and ship
ped every dav. Over twenty car
loads of fresh fish went off in one
day, and still they go. Was the like
ever heard of anywhere before? j.
A. Paris, who has just returned from
a business trip in InsIow county,
tells of the remarkable success the
fishermen there are meeting with.
He met carts travelling IN every di-
rection selling fish, besides those
that are shipped by rail The run
at this time consists mainly of ele-
giant speckled trout, but nice mul-
let's are also beng caught.-New
