Completely Filled.
The business mems jubilee at the
Grand Opera House, last night, was a
success, even beyond the most sanguine
expectations OF the committee IN
charge. 1t was one of the most novel
and ingenious entertainments ever
given by Wheeling persons. Every seat
down stairs was sold before the doors
opened, and the audience was enthusi-
astic in its marks of appreciation. Inc
Jubilee was given under the auspices CT
the Union Epworth League, and netted
a handsome sum for the treasury OF tnat
organization.
The stage settings were very UNIQUE,
and there was such a display OF color
as to lend a charming effect 10 the
whole. The programme rendered was
as follows:

PART III.
Grand March. introducing all the charac-
tiers TO the audience. This will be a fea-
ture.
On account of the length of the pro-
gramme and the lack of space no at
tempt will be made at individual men
ton; suffice it to say that each and
every performer acquitted himself or
herself with entire credit. There were
no dull features. The makeup" of the
persons representing the different local
firms, displayed excellent taste and
judgment. The costumes ranged from
the elegant to the most ludicrous. Each
person repeated a few lines advertising
the firm represented. One or two young
ladies were frightened, and several
spoke too low, but on the whole there
can be no just criticism of this feature
The explanations of Miss Walters
and Mrs. Sarver were neatly worded
and well delivered. The drills, the mall
tese cross. and the Epworth Battle song
were features deserving of especial
