THG PENINSULA PRESS

Much of the criticism which has, In
the past, been meted out to the Gem
eral Assembly on account OF the length
OF It's present session, has had its ori-
gin in a miscOnception of the true con-
ditiOn; but we have now reached a
point when each new week added to
this session, lends justice and color to
these very ccusations.-Dover Index.
Governor Lowndes in discussing the
war question, stated as for himself,
he thought that the proven destruction
of the Maine by a Spanish mine was a
cause for war, and he thought that the
murder Of her crew should be avenged
and quickly. The governor said the
entire National Guard of this state was
ready for an immediate call, and
would maintain the honor of Mary
land and the nation. .-Elkton Appeal
Plain Americanism is good enough
for every true patriot until we have
given Spain that long invited thrash
ing, and the politician big or little who
fails to recognize that fact will be
made to pay dearly for his error by the
people.-iSussex Countian.

"sECRET sERvICE0 TONIGHT

William Gillette's latest and greatest
success, Secret Service" a romance Of
the Confederacy, will be presented by
Manager Charles Frohman, at the
Grand Opera House this even
ing. The play has made a profound
sensation in America, England and
France. The plot hinges upon the dar-
ing and nimble-witted work of the man
in the secret service during war times,
in other words, the spies. These men
fight their battles alone, without an
army of comrades at hand to back
them up in their bravery, and under
the enemy's very nose. The brainy
plans and steamhy manoeuvres Of these
men have furnished Mr.. Gillette with
splendid material upon which to base
his intense and stirring stage
story. Those who have seen some Of
his former plays among which may be
mentioned Held by the Enemy" "The
Private Secretary" Too Much John
son" will undoubtedly look for a treat
cut of the common in this forthcoming
engagement of Secret Service" his
latest and most successful effort The
cast which will interpret the play in
this city is from all accounts thorough
ly competent, and Manager FrOhman
has, OF course, mounted the play in his
usual lavish style.
