Penelope a Success.

The funny operetta penelope, the
Milkmans Bride" was given last even
ing at the opera house, under the direc-
ton of A. f. Rood, for the benefit of
the Anti-Saloon Daughters of Michigan.
In spite of the rain, the house was
well filled, and the entertainment was
a success in every particular. The
operetta is little piece of plotless
nonsense, just intended to amuse the
auditors, and, while there are many
laughable situations, the real attraction
is the catchy music.
Mr.. A. +. Rood, as pitcher, of the
police" was very good indeed His
acting is good and his singing is equal
to it. Aside from his work In the char
acter he gave some clever impersona-
tions between the acts.
Mr. A. Lynn Free, as ''Tosser of the
Grenadiers," was well made up and
carried his part excellently, although
he took no share of the musical features
of the piece, which necessitated the
working in of some special music.
"Chalks, the Milkman," who is fortu-
nate enough to win Penelope" was
characterized by Mr.. K. 4. Jennings,
who never sang in better voice.
Miss Kate Harris, as blushing "Pene.
LOPEZ" did her work more than ordi.
narily well, and her singing of catchy
songs caught the audience.
Mrs. Croaker," lady of the house
hold, was given by Mrs. Emma Paige,
and of course her singing added TO the
success of the piece.
Muffin, colored waiter, although
dumb character, was entertaining in
MIR. Jas. O'Grady's version.
During the "between acts" Mrs.
Lucy Gilman sang a lovely solo, and
Messrs Chappell Bros. & Snow gave
mandolin trio, and were compelled
to respond to an encore.
In the closing scene, at the banquet,
a number of acceptable musicians ap-
peared as guests and, added to the
clever comedy work of the cast, were
songs by Penelope, ,""Chalks, ;" very
pretty rendition of "Down on the
Farm" by a quartette composed of
Misses Harris and Cooley, Messrs. Rood
and Jennings. Mrs. +. s. Briggs, in
costume, gave a pretty Spanish song,
"Papita." Mr.. LaRue Mosier sang a
fine baritone solo and Miss Cooley a
contralto solo, the scene and the piece
closing with chorus by the company
The promoters have reason to be
] proud of the success Of the production

The HOUSEWIVES REALM.
THE PRICES AND THINGS SHE
FOUND IN MARKET TO-DAY.

MEATS ARE HIGH, AND AS THEY
ARE NOT HEALTHY THIS TIME
OF YEAR, SHE DOESN'T BUY,
BUT SHE CAN REVEL IN VEGE-
TABLES.
The most interesting place in the city
on Wednesdays and Saturdays, or mar
ket days" are King, Eighth, and Madi-
son streets. To these places gather
nearly, if not quite, all the housewives
Of Wilmington, who exchange their
silver and notes willingly, or unwill-
ingly. as the case may be, for the
wherewith to satisfy the inner man.
One and all the buyers congratulate
themselves that meats and fowls are
undesirable as food these torrid days,
for as the heat has increased, so have
the prices of these products so essential
under different climatic conditions.
Beef is from 3 to cents higher a
pound. Good steak, which formerly
sold Ut 10, 16 and Is cents, the butcher
coolly demands Is, 20 and 22-and gets
in great many cases. Stewing beet
which a short time ago sold from 10 to
Is cents. now brings from u to lS
cents.
Lamb has gone up, and sells at 20, q
and 25 cents a pound Mutton, which
is neither so juicy nor tender, can be
procured as low as II and 10 cents
Ham comes at 70 cents now, when II
used to be 10. Dried beef is cent on
two higher.
Veal and pork only remain at rocl
| bottom prices, but that is because th'
! hot and those rnpQfg are Ef
heating. In all probability as soon al
the mercury takes a tumble, the pric
of pig and calf will take correspond
ing rise.
The most delectable thing along thi
line are the Spring chickens. The
are shy. though, and one must have
well-flled purse to have her fill of thes
dainties. They sell at 10 and 1S cent
a pound.
But everybody can revel in vege
tables. They are cheap as we'll a
wholesome. and it is a very poor tabl
that cannot boast of having at leas
three of these gifts of Mother Natur
at a time.
Fresh sweet new corn takes the lea
at % cents a dozen ears. Tomatoes
Jersey grown, and others, can b
bought at 80 cents a half peck, whic
is considered remarkably cheap at thi
time of the year.
New potatoes bring u cents hal
neck. and the different varieties {
beans are plentiful at 10, 10 and z
cents a half peck. Peas, great marrow
= fats. and others which are smaller an
to the notion of number of peopi
sweeter, sell at u cents half peck.
All the doctors rejoice at the cheaI
ness of their friend, the cucumDe
= which sells for the small price OF Ger
each.
Cabbage sells at 3, and 8 cents fC
a nice big head. and beets, blushin
: beauties, are wonderfully cheap
three punches for cents.
y Everybody agrees that the prices
groceries remain stationary, and r
e ioice thereat.
