Great Success.


IL is not often that an entertainment
on so grand scale, with such lavish at
tention to detail, is seen in Richmond as
the performances OF Mustapha by the
Paint and Powder Club Of Baltimore.
People who have seen the performance
say il is marvellous for amateurs 70 ac-
compish as much as these energetic
young men have done.
Mr.. Baldwin Sloane, who wrote the
words and music of the opera, is but
twenty years Of age. and has never had
any musical education. OF course, the
music is light, but ii is certainly catchy
and pleasing. and no doubt many OF the
airs will be hummed and whistled about
Richmond on Sunday morning.
The photographs OF the principal char
acters. which are displayed in many
prominent places. will show the elaborate
ness Of the costumes. Mr.. Harvey Price,
one Of the leading ladies' wears, in one
act. gown Of the richest black satin
heavily trimmed with jet. black stock
ings. and black satin slippers The fit.
hang. and chicness of this gown are pro-
nOunced perfect.
Mr. Lehr also wears a black satin gown
in the first act. the bodice Of which is
of white ACCORDION. pleated chiffon. and
broad collar Of ermine. This chiffon falls
from the waist in a picturesque pointed
effect. This gown is copied from model
Of Doucet.
Mr. Baldwin Sloan. in the first act,
wears a motley garb consisting OF red
slippers. stockings. and trousers, a very
sporty shirt, tennis blazer, broad-brimmed
straw hat, and manacle.
Mr.. Randolph Moriecai wears white
satin slippers and trousers, Roman silk
stockings. high parti-coiored, fez and
a frOck coat.

Reports from New Berne say that al
though fruits and vegetables were greatly
damaged by the recent frost and freeze.
yet things are not as bad as they might
have been, and that the trouble has come
so early in the season that most OF the
damage can be remedied If there is not
recurrence of it later on. Potatoes are
cut down. and will be later than they
otherwise would have been. and the yield
somewhat diminished. Peas are badly
injured probably not more than fourth
Of a crop will be obtained.
These two crops are the ones from
which the truckers sustained the most
serious injury. Beans. cucumbers.
squashes, and melons. where up. were
killed. but their destruction Is OF little
consequence, a little setting back being
the only harm done. Cabbages are only
slightly injured Fruit. however, is dam
