"Charley's Aunt" for the reason that it
makes people laugh long and loud by
the simplicity and ludicrousness of its
story. The story deals with the efforts
of young couple who have been mar
ried against the wishes of their parents,
to maintain a fiat" AS the husband,
a dramatic author, has only a moderate
income, the young people are put to
their wits ends to meet the demands of
their numerous creditors, from whom
the furniture and other furnishings
have been purchased on the instalment
plan, both feeling certain that as soon
as one of the husbands plays is pro-
duced they will be literally revelling
in wealth. However, before this aim is
accomplished the furniture dealers
come and move out nearly everything
in the fat, and the young wife goes to
work to replace the confiscated articles
by others of her own manufacture. Soap
boxes, the bath tub, clothes rack and
similar articles are converted into tenn
porary adornments for the home, and
the production of a successful play at a
later stage gives them the funds with
which to recover from all the Difficult
ties into which their poverty forced
them. Our Flat" will be presented at
the Grand Opera House Monday next.

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM WON.
DEFEATED THE ELEVEN OF THE
DREXEL INSTITUTE, OF PHILA-
pELPHIA, AT RIVERVIEW.


pELPHIA, AT RIVERVIEW.
The Wilmington High School boys
got together yesterday at Riverview
and won game from the football
team of the Drexel Institute by a score
of 10 to o. The Philadelphians kicked
OFF, Simmons getting the ball and gain
ing ten yards before being tackled.
Robelen next made a gain of about ff-
teen yards. Mckee was then given the
ball and, after running fully fifty yards,
tripped and fell
He would surely have scored but for
his accident, as he had passed the en-
tire team. Another run by Vansant
brought the ball to within ten yards of
the goal when Simmons was sent
through the line for a touchdown, af-
ter about four minutes of play. Alex
ander failed at the kick for goal. Nc
kee was sent over for another touch
down in this half. In the second half
neither side scored the visitor taking
brace and keeping the ball pretty
much in Wilmingtons territory.
Simmons was compelled to retire in
the first half with a sprained ankle
The features Of the game we're the fine
runs Of Mckee, Robelen, Simmons and
Worrell.
The High School team put up a
much better game yesterday than here
tofore, the interference showing de-
cided improvement. McKee's playinp
is vastly superior. now that he is re-
lieyed of the worry OF directing the
play.

ADJUSTMENTS.
TOOTH PULLED IN PUBLIc.


There was a large audience at the
opera House last night, and the Sages
and DR.. Grey gave the usual excellent
exhibition of their hypnotic powers.
The feature Of the performance was
the extraction of a tooth. Edward
Glusman was put into a state of anaes-
thesia, and DR.. +. r. Smith extracted
the tooth, an upper six-year molar.
The subject felt no pain at the time or
afterward. Mrs Sage last evening was
the recipient of an immense basket Of
flowers, presented by Wilmington Con-
clave, No. IL, Ancient Order OF Mo-
gullians, who afterward entertained
Professor Sage and DR.. Grey at the
lodge rooms. The Sages and their as
sistants have made many friends dur
ing their stay in this city, and Mrs.
sage has frequently received flowers
from her admirers.
