TIE qHEArKfCAL SEASON.
Geo. Wilson's 1Iinstrels at the Richmond
Theatre.


A splendid audience greeted Geo. Wilson's
Minstrels who opened the season at the
Richmond Opera House last evening
Nothing short of the rich expectations of a
fun loving people, and the past reputation
of this company for refined Minstrelsy
could have attracted such an audience with
the thermometer at blood heat as it was on
this occasion.
These expectations we're not fully realized
and the performance did not measure up TO
the old standard Of this fayOrite OrganiEa-
ton in the past. Some of the speciatles
were excellent, but the lack of the artistic
which this company was once wont TO so
richly display and the absence Of the vocal
sweetness for which Wilson's Minstrels
were celebrated. lowered the standard
to which the organization had form
erly attained Then again the refinement
of humor and expression. which WAS here
tofore so responsiyely appreciated IS to
make the minstrel show not only permissi-
BILE for, but highly popular with the most
refined was deprecated if not sullied by
expressions in song and Joke. whose texture
had lost its silken lining.
George Wilson retains all his powers Of
fun-provOking but as a whole the show was
disappointing and not up TO It's past reputa-
ton

The sudden opening OF the well at hing

crowbar has led 70 inquiry as TO the present
condition Of the old pump wells

the water for ordinary use. There
were fourteen such wells on King street,
each supplied with a pump. and in other
sections of the town there was pump
every 800 yards or less. With few eXcep-
tions all these pumps have disappeared.
Some of the wells have been filed up, but
others are yet open. covered IN with ten
inch boards. on which clay has been piled,
with topping Of sand for the laying OF the
sidewalk bricks.
The heavy oak plank with which these
wells are covered is very durable. but II TOts

this morning.
The Eminent Grand Commandery met at
$50 A. NJ, and at once went into closed
session. The exodus from the city has
already begun.
The boys parade was the event of the

clsye and attracted almost as large a crowd

cession was over mile in length and sew
era of the divisions were uniformed in
exact imitation Of the full regalia of a
Knight as they marched through the streets
with all the regularity and precision of

Grease spots that cannot be accounted
for are sometimes discovered in carpets.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review
explains their presence thus: In the weey-
ing Of pile fabrics a little oil is occasionally
used to facilitate the movement Of the
wires and very careless weaver may IN
handling the oilcan allow few drops W
fall on the fabric No mark Of this may
appear at the time but when the carpet is
on the floor the dust which would other
wise be swept off by the broom is attracted
and held by the oil, and a spot becomes
visible. When the spot is on or near the
edge Of a breadth there is another explana-
ton. Sometimes the cars in which car
peting is carried south or west have been
previously used for the transportation OF
OIL and the bottoms Of these cars are liable
10 become saturated with the drippings
and leakage OF oil barrels Wooden car
peting placed IN such cars may absorb the
oil, and the fact may not become evident
to the dealer until a carpet 80 damaged has
been laid on floor or shown In his sales
room often enough to catch some dust.
When such spots appear In ingrains one
explanation may be that the wool was not
properly secured.
But Of course In most instances where
complaints concerning spots are made the
cause need not be looked for outside the
house In which tho carpet is laid. Children
or careless servants are responsible for
most of these spots, as well as for great
deal OF the "sprouting"
Fortunately the remedy for the trouble
is simple. A mixture consisting Of equal
portions Of chloroform and ether viii re-
move the spots at once.

Maine central Railroad.

A leading railroad exchange says:
While it is not probable that the Maine
Central will increase its semi-annual div
idend rate beyond per cent, it is true
that the company is earning upon its in
creased capitalization above 10 per cent,
and it will show, judging from the fig
ures of nine months past, and the pros
poets of the next three, that it has
earned above 10 per cent for the fiscal
year ending September 80, 1892, and this
after expending large sums for perma-
nent Improvements in the way of new
iron bridges, station buildings. steel
rails, coaling stations, etc., as well as
increasing its motive power and rolling
stock to considerable extent, the ex-
pense of such improvements and addi-
tons being charged proportionally to the
monthly operating expenses. All of the
company's rolling stock at the present
time is in excellent condition, and the
increasing volume of the company's
business is rendering necessary additions
to the same.
