"CIssY FTTzGERALD'S FOUND
LING"

Next Friday night at the Opera House
Cissy Fitzgerald will be here for one
night only. She will appear in the
London aud New York farce-comedy
success, '"The Founding" which is
from the pen of the brilliant
William Lestocq, whose Jane will be
remembered as having made a great
hit some years ago. Tt is a delightfully."-
humorous piece Of work, dealing with
the misfOrtunes OF a young man, who
is in search of his parents, and who has
a great deal of difficulty in finding
Them. The vivacious Cissy is of course
the principal attraction, and her clever
acting and remarkable dancing never
fail to delight the audience. Miss Fitz-
gerald is, in her way, a thorough gem
ius. With a glance of the eye and a
rosy, ripping smile, unlike any glance
or smile that was ever seen before, she
dances her way into the hearts Of her
audience and sends them into an ecstacy
OF delight. She is ably supported by
an excellent company, numbering all
the prominent players who helped TO
make THE Founding such a success
in New York.

THE BRIDE-ELECT." ."

An announcement OF more than
usual Importance is the fact that John
Philip SOusa's latest work, The Bride
Elect" will be presented in this city
for the first time on next Monday, un-
for the first time on next Monday,
March %, under the direction of Klaw
& Erlanger and B. d. Stevens. THE
Bride Elect" was not written under
contract, but at odd moments during a
long period OF years. Mr.. Sousa claims,
and those who have heard it coincide
in the assertion, that il is the very
best that has ever come from his pen.
The triumph Of the operai S said to be
the march which closes the second act.
The scene is laid in a ruined palace,
the home Of a band of brigands. The
march steals through the scene appar-
emily from a great distance it stops
suddenly; an order is given open in
The name OF the queen" A moment
OF silence, followed by an explosion
when the walls tOtter and fall. The
| great pillars tumble to the ground, and
over the ruins the soldiers climb to
take possession. Assembling in the ex-
| treme rear of the stage, the soldiers
| chorus and cast come to the foot
/ lights to the music of what is claim
ed to be the greatest Of all SOusa's
marches. There are also two Othel
marches, with Cianking Sword ant
| Glistening Gun," and "The Watch
mans Patrol" which, it is said, viii
prove hardly less effective. There is
| seXtet, Enough is as good as feast,
| which is a clever satire on the italian
opera, an unaccompanied invocation
Bright Star OF Love-" sung by the full
company, and a lovely lullaby, "Th'
Snow Baby" included in the gems o
the opera. The prima donna will b

READY AID WILLING TO FIGHT
BOYS IN BLUE ANXIOUS TO
AVENGE THE MURDER OF
THEIR SHIPAIATES.

Sergeant BristOw, Of the Brooklyn,
passed through this city this morning
on his way to join his ship at Newport
News. The sergeant stated that this
boys in blue would 80 into battle with
out murmur, and do alli in their
power to avelge the dastardly killing
of their mates on board the ill-fatsd
battleehip Maine. He said THAT they
were in South America when the ship
was blown up and when they first
heard of il and were ordered back TO
the United States they thought it was
a case of war at once, and the boys
never fiinched, but were willing to fight
any country that had murdered Sc
many of their comrades in cold blood.
He also stated that the report was
current in Washington that the Board
of nquiy's report would not be made
public until after the launching of Tho
battleship eansage and Kentucky which
would take place next Thursday and
Friday at Newport News.

THG PENINSULA PRESS

We need a new jail badly. The pris-
oners are too crowded, and with this
crowded condition Il is far easier for
them TO plan and consummate an es-
cape. With more room and different
sorts OF occupation the men would be
kept too busy In the day time to effect
means to regain their liberty and too
far apart at night TO make a concerted
break. The sooner this matter is at
tended to, the better it will be not only
for the peace and safety OF the people
OF the county and state, but also for the
assurance that man who is once i'm
prisoned will serve his full time with
out danger OF escape.-New Castle
News.
Every effort will be made TO enter
tain the visitors in a hospita1le man.
ner. and IL Is the hope that the out
come will be the establishment OF busi-
ness relations with residents Of the
Peninsula that will be mutually adyan-
tageous. Wilmington should control
this trade, and II the merchants in gen
eral put forth the right kind of energy,
there is no reason why the project
should not he grand success.-Sunday
Herald.
Mr.. Tome was thoroughly a self
made man. From a very humble be-
ginning he rose to a position OF promi-
nence and power. He started with
nothing; he acquired great wealth and
became director in important institu-
tions. What is far more to his credit.
he became a philanthropist and used
his wealth for the good OF others.-Do-
yer Delawarean.
The movement TO secure TO this city
the bulk Of the Peninsula trade is not
designed for the benefit OF few OF our
merchants and manufacturers. II will
serve 10 stimulate the business inter
ests of every manufacturer, every mer-
chant, every wage-earner and every
person in Wilmington For this rea-
son the committee. which has in charge
the special excursion, is deserving OF
the hearty cooperation and assistance
OF all who have at heart The business
and general interests of the commu-
nity.-Sunday Star.

ADJUSTMENTS.
A NOTABLE ENHANCEMENT,

Beginning tonight the attraction at
the Opera House for the first three
nights will be Harkins G. Barbours ro-
mantle drama, Northern Lights" The
original company will appear, and the
same telling scenic environments will
be in evidence-as we'll as the famous
battle horse, Queen Nab. Military
plays Of the better class are in great
vogue this season, and Northern
Lights" is claimed to be one Of the
best OF it's kind. The play has its &C
tion in the Little Big Horn Valley when
the United States troops, under Gem
erals Crook, Terry and Gibbon, plant
ned to make an attack on the forces
of Sitting Bull. Wallace Gray, son of
the colonel commanding Fort Terry is
found guilty of cowardice in the face
of the enemy, disowned and sentenced
to build all day pyramids of shot
while dragging a heavy ball and chain.
Science, in the person of John Swift
wind, an Indian and a graduate of
Yale. comes to his aid with proof that
his coWardice is hereditary, caused by
the influence on his mother of the
sound of a rife ball that hit his father
The proffered scientific explanation

the building Of pyramids begins. Mean
while, the medical action is going on.
Sidney Sherwood is plotting to kill by
cholera his second wife to get back
the love Of his first. Swiftwind, the
Indian, prevents the crime and then
begins the real action, the parley and
ight with Indians, and the redemption
ofthe coward. The comedy. scenes are
refreshingly original and devoid Of
horse-play, and are splendid foil TO
the somewhat rigid atmosphere of the
camp in time Of war.

THE PURPORT OF THE MEETING
NOT POSITIVELY KNOWN-STEN-
OGRAPHER ENGAGED.

The Delaware Pilot Commission held
a meeting to-day at the Clayton House.
Just what the meeting was held for
could not be learned before going TO

to convince the commissioners that the
Delaware river Is not properly lighted.
They have about dozen members OF
the crew Of the steamship Illinois as

opened and nothing definite could be

III a syndicate purchases the island
OF Cuba from Spain, the insurgents
should Immediately proceed to whip
the syndicate as they have the Span
iards. Between a syndicate and Spain
there should be plenty OF ground for
liberty-loving men to stand on to fight
both evils. II the Cubans are to have
anything, let 1t be liberty and self
government. II is said that they are
not capable OF self-government The
Same was said OF the Mexicans, the Pc
rlvians, the Chillans and every other
people who have fought for self-gov-
ernment, but 1t has been demonstrated
that men who fight as these men are
fighting for their rights are fully ca
pable OF attending to their own affairs
after they once have them in charse
and shape for handling. II we mistake
not, there we're certain Englishmen
who declared that we Americans were
not capable of governing ourselves,
and that the form OF government which
we had outlined for ourselves would
prove a dismal failure, but it has been
demonstrated that these prophets OF
the wish were sadly mistaken. Give
the Cubans chance to govern them
selves without outside interference
and they will do 1t after they one,
have a recognized civil government ol

THE ART OF ADVERTISING.

Now that the local merchants are
seemingly determined TO augment their
trade we would respectfully call their
attention to the following extracts from
Robert c. Ogden's address on advertis-
ing and the value OF newspaper col
umns to buHiness men. The speech was
made at the rooms OF the Merchants
Association, and is deserving Of special
consideration when we consider that
Mr.. Ogden is resident partner OF John
Wanamaker, one OF the most successful
business men in the country. Mr.. Og-
den said:
"The success OF a business depends
on three things-merchandise, service
and advertising; and advertising l re-
gard as the dynamic power OF the busi-
ness. It makes the business when
taken seriously One trouble about it
Is that merchants do not always take II
seriously.
Under present conditions no busi-
ness can be conducted successfully
without advertising 1t is the funda-
mental principle OF business, and
should receive the attention OF the head
of the business.
"The columns OF the newspapers are
the rostIum OF the merchant from
which he speaks to the people whom he
wishes TO influence. Advertising should
always be true. It should be a test OF
the character Of the merchant. Adver-
tising should never be stupid. It
should be 50 attractive as to gain the
attention Of the reader whether NE
wishes It or not. It should always be
In good English, the illustrations should
be OF high artistic character, and the
printing IN good type"
