She let's every one have affairs of their

She never describes her aches and pains
She never dwells on unpleasant remi-

She never communicates any news be-

She is always polite and cordial to the
children's friends.
Disorder OF temporary nature does not
visibly disturb her.
She never tells her husband anything Of

She never corrects the children in the

RIGHT OF THE CAROLINAS.
Down In the Carolinas they have al
most patent-right on the establish
ment Of tobacco markets. The recipe
Is Just this: A few merchants and BUSH
ness-men I'm n town will get together
organize, and determine to have mar
ket. They get a tobacco-man for a Few
farmers from some OF the old sections;
he GOES among them, gives old seed, SUI
pervises the crops and curing; In a sea-
son or two they put up q warehouse;
advertise for warehousemen and buyers,
and the market IL established and rum
ming. Now, II lcose-leaf tobacco mar
ket, with all it's incident trade and hustle.
is a desirable thing in the minds or
the merchants and businessmen OF our
city, they should get together. learn
and adopt this Carolina method. 1t Is
very simple, and never fails OF success.
MUST UNDERSTAND IT'S VALUE.
The merchants and Businessmen can
force the maintenance Of bright-leaf
market here, and when they all come to
understand It's value there IS but little
question but that it will be done.
1t seems a matter OF prime importance
that the two bright-leaf houses now
running should be well sustained, and
the two others now closed opened again,
with the marketing OF the new crop, SO
that what has been gained In the way
Of establishing this market may not be
lost until Richmond has been made In
dependent from the development Of her
ourr1 ffnYuo1iafA territory. IL is SAFE 10
say that for every pound grown here
another will be added to our market from
other sections and other markets.

The Talented Actor TO BE Seen In
Fnust and Richelieu.

Tho Talented Actor to he Seen In
Faust and Richelieu.
Holy Week and the abstinence OF
church members from tho theatre has
caused Manager Thomas c. Leath to
book only one attraction for the coming
week, and that will be Lewis Morrison,
I'm Faust
Good attractions, I'm a theatre way. do
not require the use OF eXtraneouS mat
ters to bring their meritorious worth
to the attention OF the public. Morri-
sons elaborate production of Faust" IS
OF this particular class for IL never fails
TO attract a good audience in what
ever playhouse presented, and once at
tracted, n person becomes an ardent adj
mirer, not only OF the play, but Of that
very finished artist, Mr. Morrison. than
whom no star OF to-day shines more
brightly among the stellar-lights OF the
stage Faust" IS a play OF concen-
trated interest-its love interest idealic:
its central figure (Mephisto) one that
has about him a something arousing the
curious within us, and. as a bit OF the
atric spectacle, no play is richer than
this. Much has been written I'm praise
OF the thoroughly finished staging OF
Mr.. Morrison's production, and 1t Is de-
servedly classed as the best OF its kind
in every respect judged from a scenic
standpoint alone.
This season Mr. Morrison has decided
TO produce "Richelieu," In addition to
Faust" 1t must not be supposed that
he is a novice in the part, as he has
played 1t many times In fact. his re-
pertore ranges all through the lines
of the legitimate drama; and, while he
has devoted the major part Of tho past
few years to Faust" he has not been
idle. but has been perfecting himself in
other plays. Mr.. Morrlsons portrayal
OF the character OF Richelieu differs
considerably from that OF others, but
this does not detract from the merit OF
the performance but rather adds to the
interest.
The company accompanying him Is
made up OF exceedingly capable material.
with handsome. fascinating Florence Ro-
berts and Edward Elsner as its chief
members.
Mr. Morrison's engagement at the
Academy OF Music will be for Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings. with a spe-
cial matinee on Thursday afternoon.
Faust viii be produced Wednesday
evening and Thursday matinee, and on
Thursday evening Bulwer Lyttons pow
erful drama, "Richeleu."
