Can any one tell me anything Of the
city assembly rooms and the assembly
rooms on the Surrey side--i. e.. South
wark--about the year i772f The social
hide of the city about that time Is curl
ously difficult to get at satisfactorily.
For instance, when Catherine Hutton
went to London in 1888. being then ~
years of age, she went with a certain
Mr.. J. Woodhouse and his mother. They
called for her at 1890 in the evening.
the gentleman being dressed In q suit
Of pale blue French silk, spotted with
pink and green. the coat lined with
pink silk, his hair in bag, a white
feather in his hat. sword by his side
and his rufile and frill Of fine point lace.
This seems very splendid. At the as
sembly tho men were chiefly In dress
coats meaning probably Of blue or
pink silk, like that Of Mr.. Woodhouse.
Those who were not wore ''cloth coats,
trimmed with narrow gold lace. with
waistcoats Of silver tissue" and the
hair "in q cue, with curls flying out
on each side Of the head"
The other ladies were covered with
diamonds. The subscription to the city
assembly is 8 guineas. There are 200
subscribers and late nights. The sub
scribers are the first people in the city.
The rooms are lighted with wax The
branches for the candles, the urns for
the tea and coffee and the baskets for
the cakes and macaroOns are Of silver. l

the front door and gave admission to

the men drew their swords valiantly

Pine kernels give heat and stay. They

Juicy fruits give more or less the

Apples supply the higher nerve and
muscle food, but do not give stay.
Prunes afford the highest nerve or

EMMA WARREN COMPANY

The Emma Warren Theatre
Company will appear at Over
mans Opera House one week
beginning Monday, May "a.
This Company comes with a
splendid repertoire of high class
plays, and we hope they will be
favored with a packed house
each night. Here is what the
Wilson Times say of the troup:
THE Emma Warren Company
has been here during this week
giving performance each even
ing.
These shows are excellent and
reflect credit upon the company.
Very seldom indeed does the
play going public of Wilson get
the chance to see the high class
entertainments such as are given
by the Emma Warren company,
and especially at such low prices.
In their repertories of plays
are some the most popular and
ENJOYABLE We are also glad to
note that they have played to
good crowds each night and
have been given hearty recep
ton in our city.
Miss Warren is an excellent
artist and has surrounded her
self with splendid talent. The
management OF the show is as
clever as is on the road and ad
vance agent Evans is a genial
wholesouled fellow and will
make friends wherever he goes:

EXCITEMENT.

Wednesday afternoon the PEG
pie Of Elizabeth City were. for Z
short time, thrown i'll a fever OF
excitement, all owing to the bad
judgment of some exciteable per.
son. 1t seems that some labor
trouble has been going on for
several days at the mill of the
Elizabeth City Lumber Co., near
the city limits. Ike colored
laborers quit work. Other labor
ers were employed to take the
places OF t Ii strikers. The
walking delegates" lead by one
or two negroes who recently
came here from Virginia, cons
gregated near the mill at about 6
o'clock and made some threats.
Fearing trouble, the oWnels of
the mill 'phoned for the officers,
and the sheriff and policemen
answered the call promptly and
went upon the scene, whereupon
some unknown excitable person
circulated the report that riot
was going on. An alarm for the
Naval Reserves was turned i'll,
the members of which promptly
assembled at the armory for ac-
ton. but fortunately for the
community the false report was
corrected and the services of the
Reserves were not need ed. They
were at once discharged, but
