willard Spenser's Opera, "The Princess
n Bonnie" Closes Memorable Engage
mont.
"fhe Princess Bonnie" the charming
opera which has held the boards at the
Chestnut Street Theatre for the 105th
consecutive night, closed its engage.
ment Saturday evening, making the
longest run ever produced in Philadel-
phia. The closing performance was wit
messed by an audience that taxed the
theatre beyond its capacity and through
out the entire evening the audience
showed its enthusiasm by continued out
bursts Of applause. The floral tributes to
the members of the caste were numerous.
The opera will open again in Septem-
Der at the South Broad Street Theatre.
During the interim, Miss Mayo, whose
success in the role OF "Bonniep CON
tributcd largely TO the success of the
famous opera, sails for Europe on July
18th, to be gone until September. She
will resume the role of Bonnie in the
fall aud the caste will be about the
same.
The fact that two comic operas scored
instantaneous success In Philadelphia is
due TO the clever composer, Willard
Spenser, = Wilmingtonian. When Mr..
Spenser produced ".rhe Little tycoon"
it was looked upon rs his greatest pro-
| duction, and the one most likely TO score
success. In the second production he
has produced an opera even more popu-
lar than the first, and indeed is entitled
to the credit for achieving the greatest
operate success in Philadelphia. The
closing performance was fittingly
marked Saturday evening.

How His Statements Comparing tho
Reading and Wilmington Police Are
Borne Out.
In his message to City Council last
Thursday Mayor Shortlidge said:
The Police Commission, the latest out
rage perpetrated by the Legislature of the
State upon this helpless community, cost
the taxpayers $4,000 this year and they
have exceeded this appropriation by nearly
$500. Compared with Reading, Pa, u
city OF about the same population as Will
mington, we pay annually 100000 more
for the maintenance of peace than is found
necessary by Our sister city.
The most recent publication in regard
to the public matters Of the city of
Reading says under the head of "Thc
Police Departments"
The police department is ably organized
though recent mayors have declared it in
adequate in numbers to the growing de
mands of the city. In addition to the
chief and four sergeants, there are 80
patrolmen OIL the night force and 10
patrolmen on the day force, making with
two patrol drivers and two turnkeys total
force Of % men. The department is finely
equipped and organized in the best pos
sible manner under an old soldier who
has the control of everything like disorder
in the city most completely III hand. The
city spends each year over $4,000 to
maintain this department and does not
begrudge it. The results far more than
compensate for the slightly increased tax.
This department may well say I'VE never

Collided at a Ball Game.

During the baseball game between
the Rockfords and the Highland Club
at Front and Union streets, Saturday,
two players of the home team met with
accidents which will disable them for
some time. Holland of the Highlands
knocked fly ball, which went spin
ming into lnid-feld. Chapelle was play
ing left and Fisher centre. Both men
started after the ball, and in their
anxiety to judge the fly did not see each
other until they coilided with great
force and went down in the field.
Chapelle caught the ball. Chapelle
had leg broken and Fishers
head was bruised where he came in
contact with Chapelle's. He also
sprained an ankle. Chapelle was re-
moved to tho Homeopathic Hospital.

CRIsFIELD, MD, July 8.-The claim
that Crisiied was cxcelled In population
by other towns on the Eastern Shore
has been investigated and the following
result was reached: Crisheld has not
the territorial limits of Salisbury or
Cambridge, but the population within
the corporate limits is greater than
either Of the two above named towns.
According to the last census taken the
figures are 1858. This means that $50
people live within the small corporate
limits of Crisdeld. If tho boundary line
were extended enc mile north, east and
west, an additional population Of 5000
people people would be added, thus
making Il city Of almost 5000 people.

LIVES ENDANGERED BY FIRE
Exciting Incendiary Blaze in
New York City.
A MAN CAUGHT ON MEAT HOOKS
People on the Roof Have a
Narrow Escape.


New YoRK, July 9.--Shortly after
midnight fire, having every appear
ance Of incendiary origin, broke out in
crowded tenement at No. 15D Division
street, this city. Several tenants were
injured and many had narrow escapes.
The janitor of the building, Morris
Zarachovitz, with his wife and four
children. who were asleep on the roof,
were the only ones to escape by the
stairway. Panic seized the other occu-
pants. Some jumped from windows,
Others fled by way of the fire escapes
and scnttle to the roofs of adjoining
buildings.
The flames started under the lower
stairway on the ground floor.
The injured are: Lena Appleton,
burned about arms and body; Jacob
Epstein, lacerated wound of arm.
Epstein and his wife lived on the
third floor. They attempted to escape
by the stairway, but were driven by the
flames into room on the second floor
From this floor Epstein attempted to
drop from the fire escape to the ground
He was caught on the meat hooks out
side the butcher shop below and terribly
lacerated. His wife was about to follow
him, but was rescued by the police.
The people on the roof were in n bad
way. They had made their way to tho
roof Of the building adjoining but could
go no further, us the end was protected
by a tall barbed wire fence. The people
were clad only in night clothing and the
flames threatened to enyelop them mo-
mentarily. Firemen came to their rescue
finally and demolished the wire fence.
The damage caused by the fire will
barely exceed $4,000 The fire marshal
will cause an investigation into its origin.

THE ALECTO REPLIED @NO'
Did Not Save Any People of
the Tug Nicol.
SIGNALED OFF PORTLAND BILL
The Last Faint Hope of Res
cues Abandoned.


LONDON, July THE Wilson Limo
steamer Alecto, Captain Marshall, which
left New York June gath, bound to
London, passed Portland Bill at 10
O'clock this morning.
The Alecto sailed on the day that the
tug James d. Nicol foundered off Sandy
Hook, by which over 40 persons were
drowned. AS the Alecto passed near
the scene Of the disaster at about the
time the tug went down, it was hoped
that the steamer had picked up some of
the unfortunate eXcursionists and car
ried them to London.
A sharp lookout has since been kept
up, and when the Alecto was passing
Portland Bill, the Unnecessary signals
were set for the question in behalf of
the Associated Press.
After few anxious moments of
waiting the answer came back mo"
As this was the last hope that there
were any survivors Of the more than 40
missing persons, the death list of the
Nicol remains unchanged.
