An incomplete advertisement Of Won.
derland Theatre appeared in this news
paper yesterday morning. In repudia-
ton Of the responsibility for the unfin.
ished and misleading advertisement.
Manager Dockstader over his signature
publishes the following:
CONTRADIcTIoN-There appeared an ad-
yertisement in THE Sun announcing
special night for men at Wonderland.
The same was written without my
knowledge or consent and was evidently
mistake AS we never allow the pro-
duction of an act or will never allow one
that won!d offend the most refined lady
or child, and therefore have no special
nights for any one. Ladies' are always
welcome, and. l stand personally respon-
sible for the conduct of any of the EN-.
ployes in case their pleasure should be
in any way marred.
w. l.. DOcKsrADER.
The advertisement in question was de-
signed for the sole purpose Of calling the
especial attention Of men to the marvel.
lous acrobatic act Of Jerome and Alexis.
It was not intended to convey the i'm.
preston that the balance OF the per.
formance was to be elaborated or changed
in any way, and certainly not to convey
the impression that any part Of the per.
formance would be offensive to women
or children. A glance at the advertise
ment itself will disclose the omission, as
nothing whatever concerning Jerome
and Alexis appears therein. A few evil
minded and misguided persons have
seen fit to take advantage Of our error
and make capital Thereof. Fortunately
the good reputation of Manager Dock
stader and the high moral character OF
his theatre and everything pertaining
thereto, precludes the possibility Of the
incident being recalled at any time in
the future except as an unfortunate mis-
take.

HERE are four charges brought against
the Levy Court OF New Castle county, by
Samuel Bancroft in Erey Eyening:
!. Crooked contracts.
2. Mismanagement.
3. Maladministration.
4. Ex!ravagant appropriations.
These charges were in Euery Eyening's
characteristic way-simply making the
charge and refusing to produce proof as
to their trath.
Samuel Bancroft refuses TO show the
facts on which he based his charges
against the county's Commissioners.
He either lies in making the charges
or has received remuneration for his
silence.

The successful advertiser considers
every proposition carefully and adopts
only the tes'. The relative value of
morning and evening newspapers has
been under discussion for years, and the
point Of merit is still an issue. It is
conceded that both have merit. 1t is
the Monday edition of an afternoon
newspaper that we will discuss to-day.
There are three afternoon newspapers in
Wilmington, none Of them having Sun
day edition. We are not considering any
one OF these three papers or any other
Monday afternoon newspaper in particu.
lar. We are discussing the Monday
edition of any afternoon newspaper as
an advertising proposition. The Will
lnington afternoon papers will serve for
examples as well as any.
Their last Editions are all OH the
streets and practically all sold before 6
O'Clock on Saturday night. The news Of
Saturday is published carefully. CON-
pletely and well--that is the news up to
o'clock or thereabouts. They are
bright, clisp and entertaining, hence ad-
mirable advertising mediums-each one
and all Of them. So much for the Satur-
day issue. The same applies to every
other day in the week save Monday-if
our contention be adjudged right.
Then comes the happenings of satur-
day night and those OF Saturday which
were crowded ont of the Saturday even
ing editions. All these things are we'll
and carefully reported in the three Sun
day newspapers, which are much better
in every respect than any OF the six day
papers. These same occurances are
again carefully and we'll reported in the
two morning newspapers on Monday as
we'll as in the seven Philadelphia morn
ing newspapers 100000 sold in Della
ware) and yet again we'll and carefully
reported in the Monday afternoon news
papers. In other words the Monday
afternoon newspaper is made up almost
entirely Of matter previously reported,
read and discussed.
Under these circumstances it is fair to
assume that the Monday afternoon news.
paper is not read with the same thor
oughness and interest as the Tuesday
edition Of the same newspaper
In an idle moment look over Your file
Of afternoon newspapers, scan the Mon
day editions carefully and note the very
small percentage Of new material con.
tanned therein. If the paper itself is not
read, what chance l. as an advertisement
therein? Think this over.
