On February End, tho management will
introduce Mr.. John Philip Sousa's Low
comic opera, "Tho Bride Elect" to the
amusement loving public of Wilmington.
No work of recent years has excited moro
lively curie6,lty than the op IA for which
Mr.. S.usa has provided both book and
mu,ic, The scenes OF the THE Bride
Elect" arc laid on the beautiful Island OF
Caprl in the Bay Of Naples, whore tic
author composer has imagined Two tiny
kingdoms. The story relate. the intrigues
pa, sious and material struggles OF tile two
pelty potentates, told with fascinating
directnes, and vlrility. Unlike most
comic operas "The Bride Elect has plot
worth hearing and seeing. The dramatic
situations are unusually strong, Its dla-
loRue cracklos with wit, and its lyrics are
something more than clever versification.
The music Of 'Tho Bride Elect Is the best
that Mr. Sou,a has yot written. Among
the members is a typical march which
closes the second act and which Is the

Conditions Favor Continuance Of
the Extraordinary Foreign Trade.
New York, Jan. 21.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says: A
new year rarely opens brilliantly. TOO
many traders have to wait for the de-
mand which in the winter comes SLOW
ly. But the industries resist fairly well
the tendency to unlimited expansion
which some have to meet. Speculation
in products is gaining but little, while
IN enormous volume of business re-
suits in continually higher prices. Dlf-
ficulties between holders of material
and manufacture continue to hinder in
some industries, and in some may
prove seriously embarrassing, but the
activity Is on the whole unsurpassed
hitherto, and the volume of traffic is
beyond all expectations. In some
branches consumption is running be-
yond the producing capacity. but IN
others it is hindered by doubts about
the future supplies and prices OF ma
terials, The Iron and steel manufac-
turer leads all others in the volume
Of new business. While production IL
much the largest ever known, many o!

tions or naming prohibitory prices In
order to check orders which they cam
not fill for months to come, and do
not want to accept at current prices.
The number of such works Is rapidly
increasing, as the heavy demand for
materials covers many months capac-
ity, The conditions favor a continuance
of the extraordinary foreign trade,
which resulted in the greatest balance
in favor of this country ever known.
Bradstreet's review says: The con-
tinued strength of staple values, ac-
centuated this week by further ad.
yances in iron and steel and other
metals, in cotton at the south and in
lumber at some western points, has
undoubtedly added to the confidence
with which the outlook for the ensuing
year Is regarded. That this confidence
has fair basis in fact will be gathered
from the reports received from the iron
and cotton goods trade, the hrmnesa
in cotton goods being Of considerable
interest in view Of the depression rul-
ing throughout the larger part of last
year. A strong side light upon the
strength of iron and steel the world
over is offered by the statement that
iron In Glasgow this week reached the
highest prices noted for ten years past

Gentlemen 1T gives me pleasure to Ger.
tify to the good effects from Paine's celery
compound for my patients in general de-
bility and liver complaints
Andrew L. Lundgren, M. d.
Why do the ablest physicians In America
openly prescribe, use and recommend
Pnino's celery compound?
First, because Paine's celery compound
is not patent medicine. 1t is not the dis
covery of some qnack doc or Of whom his
profession never heard; it is not a concuc-
ton put up by some man who first inven-
ted name, and then adopted a prepara-
ton to fit It; and 1t is not u secret remedy.
But 1t is, first the result OF the lifelong 8
study OF the greatest physician America
has produced, o man whose reputation was
world wide years before he had ever arriv-
ed at this wonderful formula; a man who
has received the highest degrees from the
best colleges. who was at the time of his
great discovery u professor at Dartmouth
and q lecturer in other universities, a
scholar and member ofa family which
has made its mark in every department. OF

gy, lifeless. useless fretful, take this great
remedy, and n ots the change.
Iu its peculiar ability to at once invigor-

Paines celery compound in all wasting

and stomach.
A neglected complaint. though slight
at the beginning, may through neglect
cause life time of misery. The ringing
in tho cars, the baclache or general debil'
ity unless the body Is braced up again,
may teach one by bitter experience tha1
disease can creep through very small holes.
Paine's celery compound stimulates tho
kidneys, improves the appetite and digest
ion, drives out any scrofulous tendency In
the blood and actively encourages the nu-
triton Of the norves and organs with thd
result that the whole body taxes on

Of improved health.
