The "Mother Goose" Entertain
ment at Harper's Theatre.

OF Characters.
The presentation of the Mother
Goose Extravaganza" at Harper's
theatre last evening for the benefit
of st. Anthony's hospital, attracted
one of the largest, most fashionable
and appreciative audiences ever as
sembled in the theatre, and proved
most delightful and entertaining.
especially when it is considered that
there was SO much in detail to look
after, and that Warren Bunker, who
was expected to direct the posing and
living pictures as well as to execute
the serpentine and other features, was
detained at the last moment from
being present.
The idea of giving the little peo-
pie of the ci Y an opportunity to aid
a deserving institution. originated
with Mrs. Ben L. Gable, who some
months ago placed the matter in
Miss Helen G. Trips hands. That
lady conceived the unique entertain
ment given last evening which was
a medley of Mother Goose" rhymes
in character. The operatta written
especially for the event was by A. G.
Woodyatt, while Prof. Schillinger's
orchestra interpreted the music, the
calcium light effects being produced
by DIR. Radenhausen.
The PatrOnesses.
The following ladies were the pa
tronesses, and to them was due very
much the financial and general sue
cess of the undertaking.:

Fairy Like Scenes.


The production was a series of
fairy like scenes from first to last,
opening with Humpty Dumpty's fall
from the wall bringing in Mother
Goose" and family. The numerous
traditions of nursery lore were then
introduced in succession, while the
various little rhymes pertaining to
each were beautifully sung by the
court choir and chorus of little folks.
There were also vocal solos by Mrs.
Hinchins and Mr.. Susemiehl. and
selections by the Clover quartet, of
Davenport, interspersing the Milk
maids duet by Miss Margaret Dart
and William Butterworth in cos

too, and the ambourine dance, given
with charming precision and effect,
finishing with the flight of ..Old
Mother Goose" a fitting climax for
tn first act.
The second act, or Mother. Goose's
Ball. with the various gaily attired
leading characters forming gor-
geous tableaux background, opened
with the black bird dance, the little
darkly clothed youngsters emerging
from an immense pie. which had been
opened with all due dignity by the
famous old king. and indulging In a
serpentine dance. Then followed a
series of fancy steps, solos, etc,
taken as given in the cast below. 1t
would seem like an injustice to give
special mention of any of these little
ladies, all did so admirably, and re-
Elected so much credit upon them
selves and their instructor, Miss
Trip. in the highest and varied arts

rant the charge of invidious compar-
ison as it would the thought that an
Oversight had been made in failing to
refer to Fay Warren's Dame Trot
dance, bit of comedy that fairly
shook the house and was an artistic
piece of work, and Ada Durham s
skirt dance, which, like those of
the other little ladies assuming the
more important characters, merited
the praise they received.
The living pictures we're neces-
sarily curtailed, owing to the alb
sence of MIR. Bunker, but such as
were given were much admired.
The entertainment Melted a goodly
sum for the most deserving cause.

SMALL COMFORT.
Henry F. Grantz's Consolation as the Re-
suit of His SUIT Against M j. McEniry.

suit of His SUIT Against M }. McEniry.
If Henry F. Grant,, of Moline, can
gain any consolation out of his SLAM
der suit against Postmaster NJ. j.
McEniry. of Moline, he should GER
tainly not be begrudged it. After
all. he has gained no more than what
Mr.. McEniry admitted from the first
that he had possibly used language
that he should not have done. but
under great provocation. The jury
has simply borne this view of the
matter. 1t has declared that Mr..
McEniry assailed Mr.. Grantz's char
acter. and it has placed the resulting
damage at 81. The sum which
the jury feels the damages amounted
to is certainly not gratifying to the
plaintiff. especially after the defend
ant had said that he spoke hastily
and what he did not intend to Mr..
Grantz. and merely plead justifica-
tion in the fact that the latter had
deserted his post in the Moline office
without due notice, so that it seems
the jury's duty was simply to assess
the amount Of the damages. Mr..
Grantz may further take satisfaction
I from the fact that in establishing his
81 damages he has put the county to
the expense of $3.50 in court costs
and fees, besides gripping the Mo-
line postoffice by requiring the at
tendance in court of the postmaster,
carriers and other attaches while the
trial was in progress.
| As to the Circumstances.
As to the circumstances of the
case there is no doubt that Mr..
Grantz evinced an unreasonable and
overbearing disposition toward the
new postmaster, and while the latter
might not have attacked his char
acter under any circumstances, he
should have dismissed him from the
service before he left it and filled his
place-for such a man is not indis-
pensable-even if it involved the
proceedings of a justice court rather
than higher one to adjust the con-
sequences.

A Striking Contrast.
News and Observer |

During the last campaign the
Fusionists abused the Democrats
round!y for extravaganza. One of the
charges made was that the wicked
Democrats appropriated money out of
the State Treasury 10 pay men who
were contesting for seats in the Legis-
lature. They took the high ground
that every contestant and contestee
ought to pay his own expenses, as
every litigant in the courts is forced
to do, and that when they came into
power they would put a stop to this
shameless waste of the peoples money.
They came into power. Let us see
how they kept this promise.
Two years ago the Democratic
Legislature appropriated s2oo to pay
the expenses of contestants and con-
testees.
This Legislature appropriated So
262.s7 to pay contestants and con
teSteeS.
They spent s5,o62.57 more on this
item than tbs Democrats.
This is the difference between
promise and performance of the two
Legislatures.

of office the brave one-legged Confed

Disappointed and Disguised.
IGreenville Reflector.

A man who since the advent of
Populism in Pitt county has been one
of its prominent agitators, on Satur-
day expressed himself as disappointed
and disguised at the course Of the
Legislature. He said he voted the
ticket with the expectation of seeing
many reforms enacted, but sees that
absolutely nothing has been done in
that direction. He said further that
many men left the Democratic party
because of the idea that a few bosses
led and controlled that party, but
admitted that the present Legislature
was the worst boss ridden body he
ever saw. He frankly expressed the
belief ,ha, he had made mistake in
the course He had pursued, and said
many oihcrs in the country who sup
ported the Populist ticket were of the
same opinion.

ETERNITY.

Because the rose must fade,
Shall / not love the rose?
Because the summer shade
Passes when winter blows,
Shall | not rest me there
In the cool air?
Because the sunset SKY
Makes music in my soul,
Only to fail and die,
Shall | not take the whole
Of beauty that it gives
While yet it lives?
Because the sweet of youth
Doth vanish all too soon,
Shall | forget, fOrsOOth,
TO learn its lingering tune
My Joy to memOriZe
In those young eyes?
If like the summer flower
That blooms-a fragant death
Keen music hath no power
To live beyond its breath,
Then of this flood Of song
Let me drink long
All. yes, because the rose
Fades, and the sunset skies
Darken and winter blows
All bare, and music dies,
Therefore now is to me

intends to buy and develop quarry if
he can get the right sort of property at
the right price. In answer to some in
terrogatories Mr.. More said: II don't
think there can be any money in
quarrying granite as it seems to be
done in the south. If buy any prop
erty I will put in good machinery for
quarrying purposes and will also put
up a plant to make a finished product.
The most money is in working stone,
not in quarrying it, but to work it to
advantage requires considerable
