FoR sWEET CHARITY-

The Opera House was filled with a
fine audience last evening at a pleasing
dramatic entertainment given for the
benefit OF the Associated Charities. The
entertainment was given under the
management of the Wilmington Dra-
matte Club at the instance of the Asso-
ciated Charities and the direct manage
ment of Mr.. and Mrs. Tilghman John
ston, and If the finances make as good a
showing as did the performers and au-
dience it will have proved a great sue
cess.
Grace Orchestra, augmented for the
occasion, and under the leadership of
Emil Engel played fine pro
gram of catchy music, among which
were two selections from German and
Italian opera and two popular airs.
The committee on stage arrange
ments-Mrs. Lewis c. Vandegrift, Mrs
Charles G. Rumford, Miss Alice e.
Johnston and Mrs. A. d. Warner-must
have been kept busy yesterday, for last
night there was a real conservatory
scene, in which a large collection Of
potted plant decorations had been loan
ed by PennrOck Company and by II. c.
Potter. Beside these, in the milliner's
shop scene, there were millinery sup-
l.. Warren and Nine. LeCompte; china
and glassware from William Lawton;
furniture and draperies from Megarys s.
The stage was beautifully set for two
scenes in "Sweethearts," a charming
serio-comic production in two scenes
representing Spring of 1874 and Au
tumn Of 1874. For this the cast was:
Harry Spreadbrow. ~. B. Colesberry
Wilcox Ga gardner) -. Scott Townsend
Miss Jennie Northcott,
Miss e. G. Walton
Ruth Cher maid) Miss Louise Elliott
Miss Waltons remarkable versatility
was never shown to better advantage
than in "Sweethearts." AS the young,
vivacious and Indifferent girl she was
sprightly and graceful. Later as the
sweet-natured, deliberate and mature
woman, with the same personal charm
and grace, but so different in every
thought, she was exceedingly clever
Mr.. COlesberry was also expressive and
capable, but not so strong a winner Of
applause as in comedy.
The audience was kept venting its
enthusiasm by the Dramatic Clubs pre-
sentation of w. S. Gilbert's Wedding
March," in four scenes.
Mr.. Johnston made reputation as a
remarkably lively made-up bridegroom,
and the hit CT the evening was his
good-natured dispute with the promp-
ter in the third scene.
All the performers worked equally
well for the success of this worthy en-
terprise, and it was open comment that
entertainments of this high order and
| for such a humane cause should be fire.

MRS. WILLIAM ]. BRYAN.

Probably the woman in whom most
interest WAS centered to-day in Della
ware is Mrs. William Jennings Bryan.
The p, w & B. station was crowded
this morning with people anxious tosee
her and her notable husband and little
daughter, Grace. Though not beau
tiful woman, Mrs. Bryan is an exceed
ingly attractive one. A great deal has
been said about Mr.. Bryan's wonderful
smile, but one just as winning lights
her sweet, womanly face, and she
shakes hands cordially and firmly as if
she enjoyed il.
Mrs Bryan wore a black serge skirt
and dark silk waist, a rather long seal
skin Jacket, and a black velvet hat,
with cluster of black feathers at the
side. Grace, who is a pretty little fair
haired girl with blue eyes, was enjoy
ing a bunch of violets. presented to her
at tn station by handsome, good-na-
tured man who doubtless is an ardent
admirer of her father.

ANNnAL RAL MAsQuE.

The annual bal masque of the Della
ware Saengerbund took place last night
at Turn Hall. Il was one of the most
successful ever given, being attended
by large number of the most promi-
nent German residents.
The tableaux, participated in by the
members of the Saengerbund which
preceded the ball proper, have always
been one of themost enjoyable features,
and last night the pictures were excep-
tionaily fine.
The floral decorations were lavish
and beautiful, consisting of palms,
azaleas, Bermuda lilies, callas and
daisies. The ceiling and walls were
completely hidden from view with large
American and German flags, entwined
with bunting and smilax. The huge
chandeliers were decked with smilax
and the promenade balconies were
draped with festoons of laurels The
scene was fairy like, and the score of
pretty German girls in their fetching
costumes added much to the occasion.
The costumes of the dancers were the
finest ever seen at a bal masdue in Will
mington. Several were valued at $3.50
each.
At the end of the preliminary concert
the grand march and quadrille opened
the ball Dancing followed and con-
tinued until the small hours. Supper
was served in the foyer, which was also
handsomely arranged with potted
plants and cut flowers. The music
/ throughout the whole evening was su-
perb.

is taken to task by an indignant peo-
pie he talks and acts like a spoiled
child. He now has his lesson and we
hope that he will profit by 1t. The
sooner he places the dredged material
above high-water mark, the sooner the
Delaware will be a navigable stream and
the sooner his work will be done; but If
he keeps on carrying mud from one
part Of the stream to another there will
never be any permanent Improvement.
He rails about the extra cost of doing
such a thing. but we all know that it
would be much more economical to do
it in that way than to handle the same
mud five or six times under five or six
different contracts. The present sys-
TEN benefits the major, for it prolongs
his job; It benefits the contractors, for
it gives them work that has no ending
but it is costly to the people, and the
interests Of the public are more lmpor-
tant than those OF either an engineer

The loss to farmers from poor seed
is greater than most men realize; sup
pose we plan to avoid this loss by ar.

The stables and yards should be
reasonably clear of manure ere winter
sets in; nearly always some place on
the farm where it can be spread to
good advantage.
If any of our readers neglected to
repair and oil the harness last spring
when it should have been done. they
should make note Of the fact and at.
tend to it at the first opportunity.
Have you sick young tree in the
orchard? Grub it out and plant new
one that is healthy. Fall is q good
time for that. for if you do not get the
job done now it won't get done at all.
"A point too often overlooked is
that farmer should have working
capital in due proportion to the acres
he attempts to till. Some are alert to
procure the acres, aud think the rest
will take care of itself.
There Is but one good way to pre-
pare any kind of soil for good crops.
One cannot grow good crops in mass
of clods in which large share of the
plant food is locked up beyond reach OF
the plants he is growing.
On many farms we see the stock
still tramping over the meadows as it
has done ever since haying. We never
thought it paid to thus secure a little
fall picking at the possible expense of
the hay crop the next year.
Here is the way prominent stock
man puts it: We are going to have the
best times we have seen in Is years,
and the stock-ralsing interest will, with
proper management. have its full share
in the general prosperity.
Manure is better hauled out ut any
time than to be left leeching away in
the barnyard. but coarse manure
hauled out and spread does not greatly
benefit the crop this year. II you
want an early result from It. you would
better haul out and spread this fall.
Before cold, stormy weather comes
zee that the barns and stables are made
comfortable. Do not permit this work

Deafness Cannot He Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu.

this tube gets indam~d you have a rumbline
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
