Friday Night At the Opera HOuse.

One OF the largest audiences that ha
assembled at the Opera House durin,
the season outside of the Kent Count,
Teachers Institute, was that of Frida1
evening, when Walter d. Jefferson
assisted by persons of this town, en-
tlrely, presented the double attraction
OF a Bunch of Keys; or the Hotel. ,
followed by the drama of ''The Bells
of Shandon. "
Inc first was farce comedy. and
enjoyed as such roundly. Mr.. Jeffer-
son, who had the selection of the cast
and the training, took the leading part
and was well sustained by John c.
Mannering, always comical, and Geo.
Rose, good representative of burnt
cork extravaganzas; VIM. DiehI and
MISS Maia FAIRIES had minor places in
tne play. Miss Anna Beckett took her
part with the aptitude of professional
and Jay Lassell assimilated we'll the
character of Bridget" in dress. man
ner and lOve-making. Harvey FAIRIES
and Allison Start made sprightlv Bell
Boys.
"The Bells of Shandon" was a pro-
ductlon OF higher grade in every wav.
and occupied the larger part of the
evening. If it had fault it WAS that
OF too many acts or rather. (Which
could not be avoided with amatuers in
one presentation) too long a space be-
tween them. This was obviated some !
what by vocal and instrumental music
Oet"een. A noticeable feature through
out the play was the absorbed atten-
.on OF the audience-the best criticism
'hat could be rendered on the effective
ness OF the individual parts.
Fergus McCarty," who had q lead-
hS part IN all the scenes. was taken bv
W. Jefferson. What is called the
heavy character" viz: requiring a
trong personality;-Maior Heric Wolf
was taken by A. Lee Cummins. and

as the fair object about whom the :, :,

THE DELAWARE SENATORSHIP

The case of the vacant senatorsbin n
Delaware, to which Col. II. A. DuPon
thinks he was elected, reached an i'm
portant stage last week-a report by
the Committee OH Elections that he he
seated. The report of the Committee
is Yltlated to a certain extent in that il
was partlzan-5 to 4, the five Republi-
can members favoring the seating of
the applicant and the Democrats on
posing.
IL Is unfortunate that it has to be. if
that IS the final vote, decided on partv
lines. Our old constitution is amb;G.
nous as to the Speaker, who. on the
death of the Governor succeeds to his
plaee-at least so it is construed Inv
constitutional lawyers of equal ability.
But Tor this there would have been no
dlihculty. 1t is against the genius of
OF our institutions for man to fiji two
offices at once-One Legislative and the
other executive, and none of the nine
speakers in the last hundred wears pro
cedlng Governor Watson attempted
such thing, and he would not have |
uone 1t, according to his statement. If
LETT to his own convictions. but he
yielded to the persuasive influence of
willy politicians of both parties.
If there had been no Wolcott inan-
ehce to prevent an election for party
ends, and no Addicks influence TO
reach the same result for personal
ends, Delaware would not be minus
her constitutional right of two Sena-
'ors, and our poor, old Constitution
would not have received the airino II
mas IN the national council. Nor II
appears, did the acting Governor de-
eide to re-enter the Legislative cham
Der for any other purpose but to pre- (
vent the election of Senator. until ba

Addlcks contingent would stand bv a

macy OF his acD and eight months f
after the event afidavits have been u
made from both sides of the contest Il
oy some that he did Gncluding him Fl

NE unfortunate thing in this afirma- Il
ION IS that the clerk though wishing O
o substantiate the Governor, has no
ecord In his published journal of his
'eing IN the Speakers chair, Offering h
motion on voting on any bill. NJ
The record shows that the not ,,,o P.
xceptlOnal, never having been done G.
efore' and that it was done by COM W
lnatlon of two parties to deprive the w
tate OF one of its Senators. Then I'll
ONES the other question, which is an lc
nomaly to the Senators from other
tates-the claim that the Constitn-
on OF Delaware permits a person TO re
Il the Office of executive and legislator WI
the same time. WI
Ii they divide on party lines with tho we
ldenee that is laid before them. So tlo
ey would very naturally be reversed or'
ere the parties to the contest re- sp1
rsed. According to the evidence wo
at goes from Delaware, the senator's pos
congress can vote any way thew
