future, than by anything / have done
in the past. shall feel that l deserve

from your organization.
In the few years the Wilmington. BIZ
cycle Club has been in existence. II
has achieved a success that challenges
the admiration of all men, not as a So
cial club alone but as an organization
chat has won the foremost pace
among the very noble and meritorlous
institutions in our city. The reason
for its existence lies not entirely In
the comforts, many advantages ant
benefits it bestows upon its many
members, the interest it takes in oul
city and public affairs, but, largely
by reason of the noble work it per.
forms for, and its often manifested
remembrance of and friendship for the
poor and needy. From how many
scantily clad and unfortunate the icy
hand of Winter has been pressed away
by your cub, and from how many
pinched mouths the merci9ess fingers
Of hunger have been pulled back, onl,

oTTIE GETsTIAo Is COMING.

"The Geisha," that dainty fantastic
modern musical comedy, the scenes Of
which are located in Japan will appear
in this city on next Saturday night.
The play forms an agreeable enter
tainment from beginning to end. Its
wel-written dialogue is humorous and
clever: the lyrics are Of the best and
the music IS as sparkling and melo-
dious as one could desire. japanese in
construction, the story shows that the
singing and dancing girls at the Tea
House OF Ten Thousand joys enter
tain visitors over there just the same
as their sisters entertain visitors in
other countries where stronger bever-
ages are supplied. Unlike many of the
extravaganzas or musical comedies,
there is a pretty and coherent story
running through the play, which Is
shown In two acts. the first being the
"Tea House OF Ten Thousand Joys,
the second a "Chrysanthemum Fete
I'm the Palace Gardens The time Is
the present and the action Of the play
takes place in Japan, outside the
treaty limits. A party OF English
naval officers discover the geisha, who
Afforded them much amusement. Then
a party OF English ladies' appear upon
the scene The chief of the geisha at
tracts the governor Of the province
who wishes to marry her; and wher
he hears her singing to an Englishmar
he deprives the proprietor Of the tea
house OF his license and sells at pub
lie auction all his goods and chattels
including the singing and dancing
girls. The governor desires to buy
one and the one he intends 90 buy Is
bought by an English lady who out
bids him. One OF the foreigners by
Disgusting herself as a geisha, is ac
tually sold to the governor instead
This considerably mixes matters, bu
eventually there is a general Olsen
tanglement and Of course everythin,
ends satisfactorily The humor OF thl
dialogue and the diverting situation.
keep the audience in continual laugh
ter and the bright and pleasing melo
dies evoke the heartlest applause.

Of the water revenue is for want Of a
better argument to advance in support
Of the system Of extortion. Our city

continue to grow in proportion to the
growth Of the city, and for every en-

be made, the revenue will more than
suffice.
The present schedule OF water rates
Is bringing in revenue of 100000.
A so per cent. reduction would bring
in revenue OF 5000, assuming as
we have said before, that many pres

now deny themselves. This $4,000 OF
revenue will meet all current require
