ADJUSTMENTS.

SUCCESSFUL AND POPULAR PLAY.
Northern Lights" one Of the most
successful and popular of romantic war
plays, which enjoyed a run Of two
months at the American Theatre, New
York city, will be presented at une
Grand Opera House on next Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, at 10, 20 and
30 cents. The New York Herald, in
criticising this play, said He must be
un-American indeed who does not lis
ten with quivering pulse and quicken
ing heart beat to one Of the finest last
acts ever given an American play"
Contrary to the usual course Of melo-
drama, the last act of Northern
Lights" is the best. There are no anti
climaxes and the story, while necee-
sarily of a heroic character, Is at all
times kept within the bounds OF con-
sistency. The company Is one OF The
best that has appeared here this season
and never at these prices anywhere.

ROSABEL MORRISON'S CARMEN"
TONIGHT

The announcement Of the engage
ment of Rosabel Morrison in her mar
velous and original creation Of Merri-
mee's "CarmenJ which has been adapt
ed from the famous story by Theodore
Kremer. whose prolific pen has done
so much for the American stage, comes
to the theatre-goer like a spice-laden
breath from sunny Spain. The obscure
few who have attempted the interpre-
tation of this famous character have
served as an object lesson to the true
old saving: you cannot paint the n.y.
no more can feeble imitatOrs duplicate
| that exotic beauty and rare dramatic
accomplishments that have been Miss
Morrison's inheritance. Carmen" is
character that requires not only mar
velOus beauty, but must be imbued with
a sinuOsity of movement that can never
be acquired. The successful exponent
Of the character must be born to the
part" hence the great success that has
attended Rosabel Morrison as an ex-
ponent Of this fascinating character.
The glitter of her luminous eyes, the
curve Of her rose -colored lips, the con-
slant suggestion Of the croughing IL
gress, makes one wonder how dra-
matte art can render such metamor-
phOsis from the intelligent lady in the
e privacy Of her hotel and Carmen as
= seen upon the dramatic stage. Miss
Morrison has been, during her career
the leading support Of Joseph jefferson
; Her admirable work caused that vet
eran actor TO exclaim: There is th'
best actress l ever saw. You don
X have to teach her. She is born 70 he

WHAT A DINNER COSTS.

Recently a gentleman who is fond of
arithmetic, made UP his mind that he
would find out how much a dinner
really cost. This gentleman asked
how much a simple dinner Chat ne was
eating) cost, and he was told 70 cents.
He contradicted this and then made
out the following statement about the
cost of that dinner: The pepper, he
said, came from ten thousand miles
away. 1t grew on a little bush about
eight feet high, which must have had
a growth of at least five years. The
pepper was picked green; 1t had to be
dried in the sun, and this meant en-
ploying women. It took one ship and
one thousand miles of railroad to bring
the pepper to the United States. The
flour of which the bread was made
came from Dakota: someone owned the
land that meant the investing of CAPT
tai, and then he had also to- pay wages
to workingmen. The -four had to be
ground, and the building OF the mill,
and the plant, or machinery, meant
more money invested. The millers had
TO be paid, coopers had to be paid for
making the barrels, and, of course, the
wood Of which the barrels were made
! had to be cut and sawed and shaped,
and this meant the employing of more
men. Then the flour had to be shipped
over the railroad and handled again by
cartmen before it came into the house.
The tea on the table came from
China, and coffee from South America
The Goldfish had to be brought from
Maine Men had to be employed to
catch the fish; other men and women
were employed in drying, packing and
boxing it, and it, too, had to make a
long railroad Journey.
The salt came from the Indian reser-
walton in the northwestern part OF the
State of New York. The spices in the
cake came from the Spice Islands, in
the Indian Archipelago. The canned
peaches came from California, and
they, too. represented the employment
of capital and labor The little dinner
represented, directly CT indirectly, the
employment of $500 100000 of capita
and five million men.-ChicagO News.

MEDBA AND HER ROSES.

Recently there was printed a story
told by Melba about the only incident
that ever turned her head. 1t was the
waiting of an old woman. who was
shivering in the snow at the side door
of the Academy of Music. When Melba
crushed her gorgeous roses into the old
hands the woman said: God bless you,
beautiful heart!" Melba said she
searched Philadelphia in vain for the
woman.
The following poem has been sent in
answer to that sorry:
Is It from the old woman?
God bless you, beautiful heart
Murmured lips that were sad and
cold.
As the kiss of a beautiful woman
Pressed cheeks that were wrinkled
and old.
God bless you, beautiful heartl"
And the snOwflal1es dri1ted on down
They jeweled the garments of fashion
And covered the ragged with down
God bless you, beautiful heart!"
For the roses you put in my hand
No king or his queen could get them,
They never could understand.
God bless you, beautiful heart !"
Wherever your path may 80.
In the midst of your blOssOming roses
You remember those in the snow.
| Weary and wretched and worn,
But still of this world part,
To-day and forever I'm praying,
God bless you, beautiful heart!"

COASTWrSE DEFENCES

Our Atlantic seabOard cities have be-
gun to perceive that the possibility OF
a bOmbardment from the sea is to be
regarded in a practical light. The New
York Chamber of Commerce recently
passed resolutions calling upon the
government to increase the number OF
its trained artillerymen. The improve
ment Of our coast defences by means or
great guns OF modern construction has
now made considerable progress; and
the rapid crOwding of work during the
past few months will soon have re-
suited in the completion OF large
number Of these powerful fertilization
guns, which will be put in place at nu-
merous points along the coast. 1t Is
obvious, however, that trained men for
the manipulation of these heavy bat
/ teries are quite as requisite as the gums
! themselves. Even II the very immL
nent danger OF a war with Spain should
pass away, this country would have
/ been the permanent gamer by reason
| OF the efforts put forth in this furry
| OF preparation. The safety and dig
| nifty of the nation demand that its de
| fences be modern and ample. We have
no need of huge navy, but the cause OF
| peace in the world requires that ouI
navy should be manifestly efficient
and that it should be easily stronger
than that Of amy other country excep'
ting the two or three principal nava
and colonial powers of Europe. With
navy considerably stronger than VIZ
now possess, we might have dictate'
peace in Cuba long ago, without tn
firing OF a single gun, upon terms
which would have been greatly to thl
advantage Of Spain herself, and woul'
have saved her great cost and misery
| A moderate but progressive increase il
our military and naval strength, TO
gether with defensive preparation
along the coast, will constitute cur bes
and cheapest insurance against wal
and will rebound in many ways to on
} national advantage. OF Re

hoy As EXPECTED
TEA FAR BELOW THE STANDARD
IS BEING SOLD DESPITE THE
GOVERNMENTS ACTION.

GOVERNMENTS ACTION.
The new tea regulations which went
into effect few months ago through
an act of Congress are not doing all
they were expected to do in the way
of preventing the sale of impure, spur
ious and adulterated teas. The regu-
lations provide, that all teas contain
ing a certain percentage of dust, deter
mined by sieve test, or showing
"scummy" matter, determined by an
infusion test, shall be debarred entry
at any port in the United States. The
good work done by this government
was followed up by similar legislation
on the part of Canada, and the result
has been to prevent importation into
this country and Canada of millions
of pounds Of cheap, trashy teas.
A local dealer this morning said that
the scope of the law is not great
enough. They find that teas far below
the standard provided by the govern
ment are being offered for sale, and
| investigation shows that very large
stocks of teas are held that could not
possibly come in under the provisions
of the new law. Some of these teas
we're imported in anticipation of the
passage OF the law, but many of them
have been held here for years-an un-
salable article-but now being foisted
on the public. The discussion in pro-
gress has again called attention to the
machine-made teas grown in Ceylon
and India. In addition to the fact that
in all the processes of manipulation
they are handled by modern machin
cry. thus Obviating contact with the
hand. they go to the consumer in the
virgin state, no artificial coloring mat
ter being used in their preparation
The consumption year after year shows
a phenomenal increase, due to theil
innate merits, purity and cleanliness.

THE PENINSULA TRlADH.

The business men Of Wilmington are
making am energetic and intelligent ef-
fort 10 secure the trade OF the people OF
lovCer Delaware and the Eastern Shore
~ MARYLAND. Much OF this vast vol
une OF trade has been going to Phlla-

cured because these people have not

manufacturers and merchants OF Wal-

And its way back to the rural districts
OF the Peninsula.
1t is proposed to run a special e1-
cursion to this city from all peninsula
points on April 6. The p, w. d b.
Railroad Company, to assist In the
movement, has cut the fare in two from
all points on the Delaware railroad and
most OF it's branches. Cambridge, Bas-
ton. Centreville, Delmar, Franklin CITY
and all intermediate points will benefit
nv this cut in rates. The tickets will
be good to come on any regular train
ON April 6. and to 80 ON amy such
train on either April OF April 7. I'm
mediately after the arrival OF the people
here they will be placed in trolley carr
and shown the principal thoroughfares
OF the city. All places will be open &c

free vaudeville show Of high class ai

AN the people have to do Is to come
here. They will receive the best o.
treatment and go away well-pleaseC

turn the visit.
OF course. the motive which impeli
our merchants to adopt this liberia
course is not an unselfish one. The!
