sOUsAis "BRIDE ELECT. "

SOUSA'S "BftlDE ELECT"
Sousa's new opera, ''The Bride
Elect" is coming. 1t will he given
for the first time in this city March 28.
Reports of the immense success Of this
latest work of the composer of Eel C,apf-
tan" continue to reach here Boston.
Philadelphia and Baltimore the only
cities where it has yet been presented,
have known no greater success in
years than has been achieved by the
Bride Elect" Not only will the new
piece be interesting because Of the mu-
sic Of Sousa, but because of the fact
that the "narch-king" himself wrote
the lyrics, which have been called
quite the equal of anything done by a
native librettist Another matter that
has won praise for the opera is the
manner of the production, which has
been made by Klaw & Erlanger and b.
d. Stevens. Superlatives are used
freely in descriptions or the settings,
appointments and costumes; and il is
declared that no production of comic
opera ever given, here or abroad, has
been equal in magnificence to that of
"The Bride Elect" IT is said that
nearly $4,000 has been expended upon
the staging OF the work. Three char
acteristic Sousa marches are contained
in THE Bride Elect" and already one

RETWEEN THE CARs.

Passengers on the Wilmington City
railway have doubtless noticed, in
company with the Wayfarer, men in
civilian dress giving the time OF day to
the conductors. They are the car dis
patchers. Their watches are set by the
clock at the main Office, which is kept
at standard time, and once a day these
dispatchers pass the time to the con-
ductOrs. who set their watches TO cor
respond. In this manner both the COM
pany and its servants know how the
runs made compare with the days
schedule in point of punctuality. At
Eighth and Market streets there is a
telephone by means of which
the dlspatchers are kept in
close and constant touch with the Of
fees and the termini of the lines.
Few persons appreciate the fact that
cars are run on schedule time the
same as railroad trains, but subjected
TO greater delays by reason Of the
many Instructions which are encoun-
tered in the public streets Of n busy
city.
There are six cars run on the Della

termination has been reached as TO the
date when the troop now at savannah

until Feb. 1. but the proposition was
declined by the American commission
ers.

tically have been completed in Cuba,
although some of the details have not
/ been worked out yet, The recall at
/ this time of Colonel Hecker and Colonel
/ Lee from Havana is simply to secure
/ their aid here in the working out of
/ these details.
General Fitzhugh Lee came to Wash
/ lngton from Richmond Saturday night
| but remained only until an early train
/ yesterday morning. His business was
| purely private, and he called upon nC
war department officials. Important
orders will be sent to him early this
week relating to the movement Of his
corps, but as yet the war department,
has not disclosed their nature.
