OPERA SEASON FOR WILMINC
TON

OPERA SEASON FOR WHINING
TON.
Manager Baylis has under advisement
plan to inaugurate the musical season
by Offering his patrons a fine series ol
opera performances by the justly cele-
brated Andrews Opera Company. He
finds he can secure this organization
for an engagement of three nights and
matinee, commencing Wednesday,
March 2, but the management Of the
Andrews Company is inclined to be
conservative, and hesitates to place so
many performances as are contem-
plated without some assurance from
the opera-loving people of the city that
their patronage would be sufficiently
liberal to justify 1t. While Mr.. Baylis
thinks that the musically-inclined peo-
pie OF the city will take TO the opera

the plan has never been established in
Wilmington it is Thought best to make
assurance doubly sure" by making an
advance subscription Communication

tages to the subscribers in way of Sc
curing the best seats for the season at
much reduced price from the regular

conducted, the idea of first-class per-
formances at a rate greatly reduced
from the prices which must be de-
manded for productions of the same
grade when given on the might stand
plan on account of the big savings
which are made to the travelling man
agement in railway and advertising
bills. These savings are given to the
patrons Of the opera in reduced price
for their tickets, especially when
bought on the wholesale or commuta-
tinn hook nlan.

WHY HE LIMPED.

Some evenings ago young man of
was invited 10 % small evening COM
pany on the West Side OF town. The
Wayfarer has seen him often, and
knows something concerning the size
of his feet. He wears a TX shoe, ID
last. After HE received the invitation
he reflected that his shoes we're
scarcely new enough TO wear. Not be-
ing able to purchase another pair be-
fore next pay day rolled around he
went to friend and borrowed his pat
ent feathers They were 51a's, but he
crowded his feet into them, and went
to the party. He thought he would
have q good time, but he didn't. First
his feet began to swell; then TO burn,
and finally to ache. It superinduced
that extremely tired feeling one hears
so much about IL was relief when the
function was over and his best girl
safely at her door, He did not hang
over the gate that night, but left her
as speedily as possible and made for
home as rapidly as his cramped and
crippled feet would permit.
II was almost noon next day before
he arrived at the office on Market
street to go to work. When questioned
as to the cause of his tardiness he
went through his broken PAGES, told thv
folks all about it, and asserted that all
Of the sin and most OF the suffering
endured by mankind are due to tight

A LuCKY CIRCLE.

WatChful Circle Of Kings Daughters,
of St Paul's M. Il. Church held a meet
ing and took In six new members, the
largest number ever taken in in one
night since it was first formed.
The Wayfarer learns that this is,
from a matrimonial point OF view the
most lucky circle of Kings Daughters
in the entire city. To JOIN it seems to
give assurance that, in the course of a
few weeks, some nice young man, mat
rimonially inclined, will come along
and take a wife from the circle, and,
after that, every time the circle meets
he is sincerely sorry that he did 1t,
for he becomes sort of an honorary
member, and is rowed up the creek if
ne says he has to meet man down
town and cannot attend.
There have been three or four mar
riages in the circle within the past
year or two, and another is now about
to be solemnized. A girl who has made
up her mind TO live a life of maiden
meditation fancy free, might just as
well give up her dream of loneliness II

WHAT SHAVING COSTS.
A Statistical Fiend Who Has Figured
All Ont.


The statistician who had been busy
with his pencil looked up at the man
who hates figures and said:
Didn't have anything TO do, and
thought I'd figure little. You know
that If | were cast on a desert island
with bundle of lead pencils and plenty
of paper l wouldn't care a cent whether
sail hove in sight or not. / saw that
you needed a shave, and that set me to
thinking. Why do you shave, anyhow =?
l never do. Look here.
We'll suppose that you began shaw
ing at Is years of age and that YOU keep
IL up until you are 20. That makes So
years. You have heavy beard. Wen
suppose that you shave twice a week.
That costs 10 cents a shave, and you get
rid of one-eighth Of an inch of hair.
That will be quarter of an inch a
week, or one inch month. To get rid
of that inch you pay $1.2O. An inch a
month is IL inches year, costing you
$14.40.
"Now"-and the statistician drew a
long breath-"12 inches a year for So
years Is G24 inches. or 80 feet. II will
cost you S54S.s0 to get that amount Of
whiskers out Of your system. Then sup
pose you give nickel tip every time to
the man"

Promptly upon the report of the court
of inquiry comes the message of the
President Co Congress. 1t is in his usual
direct and convincing style and proceeds
right to the point Reviewing the cir
cumstances attendant on sending the
Maine TO Havana, her peaceful errand
and quiet behaviour of the crew and
officers, Mr.. Mckinley contrasts with
these her sudden destruction and the
dastardly act of the Spanish emissaries
The verdict of the court is follows:
"That the loss of the Maine is not in any
respect due TO the fault of the officers or
crew; that the ship was destroyed by an
explosion OF a submarine mine which
caused partial explosion in two or more
of her magazines and that no evidence
has been obtained fixing the responsibility
upon any person or persons. In con-
clusion the President expresses the
belief that Spain will pursue an honor
able policy in the matter and that an
amiable settlement will result The
tone Of the message Is calm and steadfast
and although the president plainly
believes friendly settlement possible,
his judicious expenditures for protection
and defense manifest as plainly his
readiness for the arbitrament of war
Whatever has been the trend of affairs
the American people have shown their
answering confidence in the sagacity
and wisdom Of President Mckinley
Such evidence can not but be gratifying
to him in such an emergency. A few
days more will undoubtedly throw great
light on the whole matter as by that
time Spain will have given us reply,
her torpedo hotilla will have arrived in
the West Indies, and with her natural
desire to catch the United States as un-
prepared as possible if she desires war
it will not be long delayed
