The main question of interest to day
among citizens of Wilmington has been
the great strike, and bulletins from the
points affected we're eagerly watched for.
The news to the effect that the strikers
had been fred upon by the troops caused
considerable excitement, and con.
lectures as to the probability of
this city becoming involved were
numerous and varied Among business
men the general opinion was that the
ordering out of the men on the Penn

nor the Delaware roads, as few, If any,
of their employees ere Knights Of Labor
or members of the A. r U. Even
should these few men 60 out, the rail-
road officials claim it would not interfere
with them, as plenty of men stand ready
to take their places.

The very freshest eggs found in many

italian opera sank out OF sight for
q while after Malibran's departure, but
English opera took It's place, with Mrs.
Austin as q fgurehead. She was a bux-
ON English beauty, with a mezzo-so-
pranO voice OF delicious quality. She
was q favorite 10 this city for many
years; but 3 rival appeared after

reputation. She made her first appear
ance as Floretta, at the Park Theatre,
In November, 1928, and scored an IN
qualified success. From all accounts
the salaries paid IN those days were as
large as they are to-day, and the box
ofhee receipts justified the expenditure.
Il was through Madame Feron that our
granddaddies were first made &C

them severely, but they proved as popu-

with due dignity and self-eontained
proportions. But Mr.. White says this
is fact That neighbOrhood was called
Richmond Hill at the time. Aaron Burr
had bis summer home there. And there
was Richmond Hill Theatres; but the
400" crowd did not go TO much until
opera was produced th9rs. The Mon
tressOr company put on an opera there
IN a manner that had never been seen
before 10 New YORK, and society floeked
20 hear it. This was 10 1882
The next woman to create a Juror
was Mrs. Wood, who came here with
all the prestige OF divorce case that
involved the British peer6ge. Mrs.
Woods maiden name was Patton. Her
voice and her fine appearance Induced
Lord William LenOX TO marry her. He
treated her so brutality that she applied
for divorce, which be resisted in the
courts. She won, married John Wood,
q tall, handsome pugiiist, and came TO
America with him 70 earn a fortune.
The Woods soon made themselves favor
ties not only 10 this city but in Boston
and Philadelphia. They we're the first
to bring out LA SOnnambula" 10 Eng
lish version. But the time came when
they got into . squabble with an Ameri-
can actress named Conduit They

and Miss CondOit's friends utilized the
American Eagle scream with so much
success that the Woods were finally
driven from the stage OF the Park
Theatre, 1886.
SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A SEAT.
Here is story that Mr.. White tells of
the money that rich people we're willing
TO pay 10 90 the opera 10 those days.
A suddenly becOms-rich Young man had
Invited a lady 10 the onera without
taking the precautiOn 10 secure tickets
10 advance. When ne reached the box
Office be was assured that there were no
seats to be had. Ticket spectators

"Well, I'll have that"
"ImpOssibIe. The box can only be &C.

What is the price Of Up"
'Slx thousand dollars"
'I'l take it,"
he promptly put up the cash and es-
eorted the lady TO her seat. This Is al
Instance OF nerve.
In 1897 opera began to move uptown.
A beautiful German girl, with large,
liquId-0lue eyes, beautiful golden hair
and a voice like q thrush, came over
here and set the town wild again. She
called herself Caradori. For two years
she was all the rage. Several others
followed her, but without making much
impression until Fannie Elssler danced
her way into the hearts OF the People in
1910. This was st the Park Theatre.
FANNY ELSSLER STARTED HIGH PRICES.
II was so crowded when Miss Elssler
came upon the stage that literally not
another body could be packed into the
house. Mr.. White, who saw the per-
Torrance, says that no such dancing
had been seen in the world since the
days OF HerOdias. About this time

The dogs at Sandringham Palace are
marvellously we'll brought up and De-

seventy dogs, quite outside those used

iavorte and has been her travelling
companion for many years, is red
Chinese chou-chou, with peculiarly In
telligent and amiable expression.
Many Of these pets OF power have had
their pictures painted by celebrated
artists who generally charge fabulous
prices, but who possibly did these things
Just for the honor of doing them, and
not for money. Because highlands
Queen is said to be very thrifty wo-
man, not fond Of spending freely, like
her son, the Prince OF Wales.
In the Princess four-stall pony
stabla are her four.in-hand ponies,
called respectively "Bina," "HuHY
Beau" aud bella.
The iron work of their abode is
painted a delicate chocolate, the pillars
between the stalls have silver.plated
caps, and are rendered further orna-
mental by the pillar-reins being white
with silver mounts. The walls are
lined with green and white glazed
bricks, and the ponies names are in
letters OF gold.
"Sandringham Count" is the Princess
OF Wales's ST. Bernard dog, and very
beautiful specimen, too. Then there Is
"Toynbee," a bay mare with black
points, who rejoices In being the favor
ite hunter of Princess Maud.
All these animals, besides being ad-
mired and loved by their owners, have
special servants to wait on them, and,
strange to say, receive more care and
kindly attention than most OF the chill
6ren born and reared In that vast en-
pire on which it is the Englishman's
BOAST that the sun nsver sets.
