A. c. Harvey, the Southern agent OF the
Great Northern Railway and its lake line
the Northern Steamship Company is at
Willards. Our lake line has more busi-
ness than it can do every sumner" he said.
Since its two great passenger steamers
were put on from Buffalo to Duluth there
has been five times as much tourist travel
on the lakes as ever before. We are ex-
pec.ing the largest business of our history
during the coming season" Mr.. Harvey
said OF the Pacific business OF the Great
Northern: President Hill is one of the
strongest expansionists in the country. He
believes that there will be stupendous
trans Pacific business for America in
few years. A. present he is doing every
thing that he can to foster it. The Great
Northern hauls more freight to the coas;
than the Japan American Line with five
steamers can transport. The average
American has no idea OF the great raiIe
of the Chinese and japanese trade to ills
country already. 1t is an actual fact that
this country can sell wheat and -four to
China as cheap. and sometimes cheaper,
than the Chinese can make their rice flour.
This one item of Chinese import Is likely
TO be fabulous in the course of few years
President Hill does not discuss his plans
before they are put into execution. but it
would not surprise me il he should, in
the near future, build a line OF Pacific
steamers for his own railroad. There
would be plenty of business for them TO
do"

THINGS THEATRICAL

Celumbia-.friyats John Aies.
There is commendable curiosity among
theatrical devotees to see Charles B. Ham
ford the coming week in his new Southern
play, Private John Allen" The popular
Washingtonian has SO long been identified
with the classic and the romantic that MS
desertion for the time is certainly remark
able. The new play will be produced un-
der the personal direction Of Mr.. Lee Ar
thur, the author, and will be appropriately
mounted. Love and politics are evenly
intermingled in the story, Allen being a
politician OF influence. tact and energy.
He is also devoted to the best interest OF
his party and when the nominal head OF
the party becomes involves with an ad-
ventures, Allen shoulders the blame and
is retired to private life. He Is compen-
gated for his sacrifice by winnig the love
of worthy women who believes in his
innocence and honesty. The strength OF
the Frawleys will be seen in the support.

s c. Inspector of Government Buildings
for the Treasury Department in South
Carolina, is at the Raleigh. He was in
Charleston during the recent festivities
when General Wheeler was left out. The
procession was like playing Hamlet
with Hamlet left out" he said in discuss
ing the affair last night. The people OF
Charleston are always glad to see General
Hampton and the others, but on this par
ticular occasion they were wild to see
General Wheeler, and all expected to.
General Wheeler. unhappily for US, forgot
to keep an appointment under entirely ex-
cusable circumstances. He was visiting
with a party of young ladies at the hour
when the committee on carriages had ex-
pected to meet him at the Charleston Ho-

ious to meet the carriage committee as
he was to climb San Juan Hill, the chief

Senator Fairbanks of Indiana and Sena-

Representative Ball Of Texas. who has

the recent deepening Of the harbor at Gal

depth in the harbor than is ever needed.
twenty-nine feet at high tide and never
less than twenty-six feet. This improve
ment at Galveston has actually cut down
the freight rate of grain for export to Eu-
roma confc a b,,shel and made America a
more formidable competitor than ever in
the grain markets of the world. The
Southwestern roads can haul grain to CAL
weston much cheaper than the Northern
trunk lines can haul it to New York, while
the steamer freight rate from Galveston
and from New York to Europe is about
the same This compels the Northern lines
to cut down their rates in order to hold
their business. The Southern ro;Sls are all
earning more money this year than ever
before in their history"

GRAND OPERA HoUSE-First half Of
next week, Town Topics"
New York is nice town, but when
a man goes there to take in the sights,
and leaves his common sense at home,
he is going to see fireworks, and he will
have to pay for the gunpowder. This
is the experience of the Jay" who
visits the metropolis in that sparkling
farce-comedy. Town Topics Still,
you cannot pity this particular Jay"
because when he gets to New York he
has such a jolly, diverting time of it,
that he can afford to pay something
for it. He has a lot OF witty young
men who know the ropes" and a
bevy of the most beautiful girls one
could find anywhere on the American
continent, and that is saying a good
deal when one thinks about the aver
age loneliness of the American girl.
The fun never stops in Town Topics"

of the new Catholic church. Quite a
lengthy programme was carried out. The

to express our admiration and apprecia-
ton to Misses Anna and Maud Prender-
CAST. and Miss Mary Dowd, for the in
terest they manifested in this, our first
entertainment of this nature. They Were
the prime promoters in getting up the
excellent programme. These ladies were
tireless in their efforts to make this en-
tertainment a success, which it was both
socially and financially. They are GER
tainly to be congratulated. We also de-
sire to return our sincere thanks TO the

Benwood who took part in the entertain
ment.

be able to reciprocate to the different de-
nominations we return thanks for the
liberality in purchasing tickets. We are! in
hopes that this will not be the last en-
teritainment of this nature given by the
Catholics of McMechen. The spontaneous
outburst of enthusiasm manifested at

ducement to give a similar entertainment
in the near future
Yours respectfully,
