MARsHAL's BALL TONIGHT.

The Marshal's ball will close the So
cial features of the week tonight.
The ball is given complimentary to
Mrs. John s. Cunningham, the wife of
President John S. Cunningham, of the
State Fair. 1t will be one of the most
elegant balls ever seen in the city.
Chief Marshal John c. Drewry, who
has done SO much for the success of the
great Fair of 1898, deserves and has re-
ceived the highest praise for his slillful
management of the social features of
the Fair. The Maids of Honor, from
this and other States, new feature in
the history of the Fair, have contributed
largely to the success of the Fair
The Assistant Marshals are among
the leading business men of this and
other States, and more gallant or
handsomer body of men We're never
seen before in Raleigh. They were
mounted upon magnificent steeds, and
they have performed their duties splen-
didly. and to the entire satisfaction of
the management of the Fair, and have
been highly complimented and deseryedly
so by every one.

Fra Diavolo."
OF course everybody knows the story
OF Fra Diavolo-the robber bold, TIMER
OF love as well as lucre.
1t was told last night in lifting song
and musical measure, and throng OF
people heard it, for the Academy or
Music was filled to its utmost capacity,
even the standing room being taken.
There was Susie Kirwin, the sauce
rollcking, happy hearted song bird that
the Raleigh people have so often APP
pl-auded. Mis- Kirwin never fails to
make Il hit, but last night she was at
her best

The title role was played by II. a.

fortunately he knows it. But that did
not spoil his work. A better piece of
real, unadulterated acting I've rarely
seen.
Lyman Wheeler as Lord Allcash was
equally good. The character could hard
ly have been better portrayed than it
was by him.
Miss Margaret Baxter looked very

Harold Gordon made passable
Lorenzo, and Charles Fuller managed to
get little quiet humor out of his part
as Matteo.
How surely one can rely for fun on
Clarence Harvey and George Muzzy.
Positively they are the personification
of mirth-always doing and saying things
that make YOU laugh in spite of your
self and set you to wondering why you
had not thought to say and do them
yourself. These two comedians acted
well their parts of Beppo and Giacomo.
And the chorus! To forget that score
of pretty faces and musical voices would
be like playing Hamlet with Hamlet left
out. You watched their shapely forms
and bright glances yourself with never
firing interest. You know what an in
SEPARATION they are. Turing naughty old
boys to naughtiness and making the
bald-heads rush early to the box office
to reserve the front seats
But they deserve all the admiration
they get, these girls, every bit of it. for
they are tn light and life Of the show.

yesterday. Not less than $1,000 must
have been stolen. Already the News and
Observer knows of half dozen men
robbed, the amounts ranging from $50 to
$500.
Many of those who lost money are
saying nothing about it, and others who
tell it object to the use of their names
in the paper, knowing that there is
no possible hope of recovering the money.
The heaviest loser so far known, was
Mr.. L. S. Dellinger. of Burlington. He
lost $780, in bills, of denominations of
$40, $50 and $50. The money was in
small leather pocket book, in hip

in a crowd getting on the street car
leaving the Fair grounds. Such places
are always a favorite field for the pick

of money. This the thief failed to get

Catarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe.
cifc cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood
Mr.. B. p. McAllister, of Harrodsburg
KY, had Catarrh for years. He writes.
II could see no improvement whatever
though | was constantly treated with spray!

period from the 5th to the 18th
century, Is being the Ozark Ages y
and the period around the 18th century
- being the darkest OF the dark ages,
coxtsAded that human progress was
greater during that period than at any
other time. He pointed to the univer-
stiles of LEARNING that sprang up dur
ing that time, to the superb pieces of
architecture Westminster, the Colon
cathedral. Notre Dame, the Pantheon
at Bono, the cathedral at Milan. and
to the superb paintings of men OF
that day, not only copied, but not ex-
