MERRY MINSTRELS TONIGHT
Thatcher's Minstrels come TO the
Opera House tonight The company
IS a good one. with many new features.
Mr.. Thatcher says; 1t has taken long
time to reach the almost perfect condi-
ton minstrelsy is about to assume. But
just think Of IL; four people took part
I'm that first American minstrel per
Torrance. while forty appear in the
musical part OF the George Thatcher's
Greatest Minstrels. They had a fiddle,
banjo. bones and tambourine, while
we carry a complete operate orchestra.
They had nothing but the rough furni-
ture of a Bowery billiard hall for stage
settings while We have paid $1,000 for
just one scene used in the first part OF
Onr performance. There are men In the
minstrel business to-day who. If they
had their way. would not improve very
much upon that first performance in
1892 Dan Emmett and his companions
were the pioneers OF minstrelsy. and as
such ] honor their memory, but az the
same time J believe minstrelay ha.
taken quite long enough in getting
abreast Of the times"

and appreciation OF the management TO
all Of those to whom we owe the sue
cess Of our efforts to secure the right OF
way for our line on Sixth street.
We cordially acknowledge our obli-
cations TO the Evening Journal, to the
Morning Sun and to the Sunday Star
for their disinterested, public-spirited
and vigorous arguments urging the
Board Of Street and Sewer Directors TO
exercise their discretion in compliance
with the expressed win OF the Legisla-
ture and the manifest desire of the
people OF Wilmington. We do not
doubt that without the persistent and
able arguments Of these newspapers
our application would have failed.
Hundreds OF business men and other
citizens of the city and suburbs per-
sonally urged the commissioners to
take such action as would make our
legislative charter for a line on Sixth
street available To each of those citi-
zens the company is deeply grateful
The commissioners, we do not ques-
tion were actuated by a desire TO com
ply both with the law and the wish of
the people and to take such action as
will give the people the most desirable
efficient and beneficial street railway
service. They were mistaken in their
first conclusions. The newspapers and
the people convinced them that they
had made a mistake and they had the
manhood to admit their mistake by
correcting it under exceedingly trying
conditions To them the company
wishes to especially acknowledge It's
gratitude. Their position was neces-
sarily very embarrassing. That the
public viii award them honor for faith

MANUAL TRAINING BUILDING.

The Walker trustees are still thinking
OF giving new manual training build
ing to the city. whenever the school oom
mittee and city government will indicate
their desires In the matter. The general
sentiment seems to be that a building
which would wall accommodate the man.
ual training classes, as they are at present
organized, would be most desirable
thing. The classes now occupy two rooms,
one In the North school and ore in the
hall on Congress street. which has been
recently fitted up for the use OF the chill.
dren in the western part OF the city. For
the present the Deering pupils will be &C.
oommoda,ed in these rooms, bot 1t has
been necessary to cut down the classes In
Portland district In order to make room
for additional pupils. A new manual
training building weuld properly contain
three good-sized class rooms with all the
necessary ante-rooms, lumber rooms, etc.,
thus telng large enough to accommodate
all the pu pills in the city who ought TO
take the manual training. 1t is under
stood that this matter will be laid before

JUDGE wHITEHoUsE ON DREYFUs
CASE.

Supreme Justice William P. whitehouse
of Augusta, who has recently returned
from France, was in Portland Sunday,
and was interviewed by q reporter rela-
tive to the prevailing French sentiment
concerning the Dreyfus trial:
He said, in part; 81 talked with many
Frsnch civilians of all walks of life and
1t was their almost unanimous opinion
that the trial was the greatest judicial
iniquity Of the century. Very bitter feel
ing against the army was manifest and it
seemed TO be popular opinion that Drey-
fus was sacrifice to save prominent men
in military circles. Violent popular out
breaks were numerous and the country
seemed on the verge of a political volca-
no."
