a N0rABIE ENGAGEMENT.

The Keleey-Shannon company
which has distinguished itself IN other
cities as one Of the best companies in
the country, will play an engagement
at the Grand Opera House next Friday
night in the great society drama by
Clyde Fitch, ''The Moth and the
Flame" Il was one of the great sue
cesses of last season and caused a
greater amount Of discussion and
comment than any other American
play of recent years The story is de-
veloped with much originality and Is
full of sharp and striking contrasts OF
character and incident. It's powerful
and serious side is admirably relieved
by pointed comedy and delightful wit,
Nothing finer has been seen for a long
time than the absorbing and thrilling
situation which is presented in the
first act. a society man, whose misuse
of funds entrusted to his care is dis
covered, decides to take his own life.
While a fashionable party is going on

room for this purpose. The audience
knows the life is about TO be ended
during the progress of the festivities
yet it is impossible not to be amused
by the chatter of the guests. The
sound of a falling body is heard in the
room above that in which the guests
are assembled. There is a sudden jar
which makes the crystal chandelier vi

THE BEST MAN.

Marriage Ceremony of
the Present.

Under the title "When Maids Mar
ried" Frederick Boyd Stevenson traces
the origin of some OF our marriage Gus
toms back to the days of primitive man.
"While we smile at the wife-stealing
propensity of the savage or half-sav-
age nations, we cherish as our dearest
form, a custom that had its direct ori-
gin ia this very self-same practice. The
best man. who plays so important a
part in well-regulated marriages that
nowadays have any pretense at all TO
the fashionable, once on q time in
Sweden occupied a position that was
useful as well as ornamental. In the
old days the Swedish groom found ii
desirable. in fact, to have several best
mem to defend him from the assaults
of rivals. and prevent them from carry
ing away his bride. The Scandinavian
( warrior of ancient times was far too
lofty in his ideas to condescend 90
plead for a maiden's hand. So he pa
/ tiently waited until some other man
who was more gallant, had obtained the
! fair ones consent. Then, when all the
details had been nicely arranged, the
proud warrior, with a body Of we'll
trained retainers, dashed down on the
welding party, and, If strong enough,
carried away the bride. The best men
| (and It was very essential that they
should be the best men in those days.,
therefore. became necessary fixtures TO
the marriage ceremony, and they were
so wen esteemed. and their popularity
became so permanent that when the
reason for their existence was removed
they were still retained. Hence, the
custom is preserved in the best man

His proposed use OF the lever meant
the production of then inconceiyable
inventions i'm machinery and engineer
ing construction, and his own estimate
Of its Importance was expressed by the
familiar quotation: "Giye me whereon
TO stand, and ! will life the earth"
Archimedes was the first and per-

Of early engineers. His lever still

Here was the most famous successor
of Archimedes. His "Pneumatica" was
published to the Alexandrian world
after the death of Euclid and Of Archi-
medes, and very likely includes inven-
tions of the latter and Of Ctesibus.
In this little volume, however, are
contained descriptions Of the germs Of
the "fre engine" or steam engine, Of
the steam turbine, of the water tube
steam boiler, Of numerous steam and
air fountains, and Of many other euro
GUS and, undoubtedly to the ancients,
mysterious contriyances, not emitting
the maglclan's marvellous bottle, the
source of many wonders. He antici-
pates or supplies the germ of num-

and mechanisms.
Hero was the great mechanical engi-
neer and scientific author of his time.
Perhaps the most remarkable event in
/ the history Of the mechanic arts and of
engineering is the revival of the steam
turbine in our own time as the rival of
the modern steam engine, which, with
its complication Of parts, its eXtraordi-
nary perfection of structure and work
mauship, and its summary of the in
yentions of the greut engineers and
mechanics of a century and more, has
been considered to be the crowning eff
fort of modern inventive and construc-
tive genius.
Two thousand years after Hero, the
world now takes up his steam engine

ROBINSON DENIES THE CHARGE
TELLS A JOURNAL MAN THE De
TAILS REGARDING THE BURN
ING OF BUDNER.

ING OF BUDNER.
Richard Robinson, who is locked up
awaiting a hearing on a charge of as
sault with intent to kill James Budner.
denies positively that he threw hot
iron upon Budner purposely.
Robinson was seen at his residence
by an Evening journal reporter pre-
vious TO his arrest Monday afternoon.
and when informed of the charge pre-
ferred against him by Budner, made
the following statement regarding the
affair:
Il have been employed at the Nal
leable Iron Works since April last,
and was engaged as helper TO q
moulder named Bimms. / never had
any trouble with anyone at the works
or the mill until Saturday last, when
1 had some words with Budner about
whose turn it was to make the
ketch at the cupola
when the men go to the furnace for
the white hot metal for the moulds
they form in line and each man takes
his turn filling up his ladle and steps
aside to allow the man behind him to
iill as soon as his own vessel is full.
The work must be done quickly in or
der to avoid spilling the metal upon
the floor, which is dangerous, as a
constant stream OF white iron is kept
running when the moulders are at
work.
"Budner was directly behind me
when it was my turn 20 'ketch,' and as
| placed my ladle up to the furnace to
receive the iron he stepped up and
pushed it aside with his own, claiming
it was his turn and allowing the iron
to spill upon the floor / then pushed
his ladle aside and filling my own was
about to depart when Budner said:
c. - you. I'll fix you for this.
/ then went to the mould, dumped my
ladle, proceeded to the cupola, filed It
again and was returning with it when
I met Budner in the gangway on his
way to the furnace.
"He again swore at me- and making
some remarks about fixing me, raised
/ his empty ladle as If to strike me over
the head with it. In order to protect
myself | 'ducked' my head and raised
the handle of my ladle 20 ward off his
blow. This movement caused the bowl
of the ladle / was carrying TO turn
and the iron spilled out upon the
! ground a part of it striking Budner
and setting fire to his clothing about
his legs.
THAT is how the whole thing hap
/ pened, and as for my throwing the
iron upon the man there is no truth in
it. I have been burned myself and
know how badly it hurts. I would not
think of doing such a thing"
Investigation at the Office OF the
Malleable Iron Works and the state
ments OF those who witnessed the af-
fair corroborated to a great extent tho
statement Of the colored man.

"NANCY AND COMPANY.'


The Wilmington Dramatic Club cele-
brated Its tenth anniversary last night
by presenting the comedy, Nancy ana
Company" at the Opera House.
The audience was brilliant
and fashionable one as Is always the
case at the Dramatic Club plays,
many of this and last years debu-
tautes being I'm evidence. The play,
from the German Of ROsen, and one OF
Augustin Daly's old-time favorites,
was voted the best given by the club
since "A Russian Honeymoon was
produced, with Burr Mcintosh and
Miss Eleanor Going Walton in the
leading roles.
The cast was excellently selected
two or three members Of IL making
their debut as thesplans. The leading
role of Nancy was acted by Miss Wal
ton. and her conception Of it was a
charming and artistic one. she is
born actress and members high up in
the profession who have seen her play
prophesy for her a brilliant success
should she go on the professional
stage. 1t has been said that this Is
Miss Waltons last appearance on the
amateur stage.
Miss Isabelle Belin Wales, as Daisy,
was very dainty and pleasing, though
TO those accustomed 10 seeing her
clever acting in more ambitious roles,
that of last night seemed somewhat IN
adequate. Miss Adeline l.. Jones play
ed the part of Oriana with success, and
Miss Agnes Y. Richardson, as Mrs.
Huldah Dangery gave an agreeable in
depreciation OF the part.
Miss Elizabeth Bent Wales, in the
part Of a maid. is hard to beat. and
that was the character that she es-
sayed, and with complete success, last
night Her every appearance was the
signal for an outhurst of applause.
Joseph A. Richardson has been a
member of the club for a long time,
and his acting is always clever AS the
"Griffing" he had an important role
in which he was seen at his best.
William Michael Byrne is one Of the
new members who made his first ap-
pearance last night as Keife O'keife
and he scored a triumph, making one
OF the hits Of the evening. David
Wendell Hulhurd, also new member
as Captain Renseller, Daisy's lover
was excellent, and Walter Page occa-
stoned much amusement in his dude
role of Skies Stuckalow. Paul p. Mo
/ Curdy as the distraught husband OF
Nancy, did some of the best acting OF
the evening, winning round after
round of applause. DOoner Lindsay
as bell boy had little to do, but did
/ that little we'll.
The committee in charge Of the PLAY
was composed Of Mrs Il. Tatnali War
ner. Mrs. w. n. Barnard. Miss WaltoI
and Austin Harrington. The play was
prettily staged, and the gowns Of the
| girls pretty and becoming.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. In New OrIe

New Orleans grocers and marketmen
and dealers in eruits and confectionery
all know that lagnappe is required, and
they lay in a goodly store of articles TO
be given away. A little handful of
something goes with every purchase,
and il is astonishing how rapidly the
barrels Of gingernuts and the buckets
of candy win melt away. An expensive
custom one would say, but so firmly es-
tablished that no one dares TO resist.
Once In awhile one finds a grocer who
complains rather bitterly to his conf
Dental friends, but he viii not set the
fashion Of rebelling. II he did he would
lose his trade, and his customers would
