appreciate the humorous aspects or the
occasion. There l was, an American
musician. to whom a Wagner perform
ance at Bayreuth had been a long-con-
templated treat, obliged to sit outside
the theatre after travelling so many
miles to be present.
After the first act my American
friends all came out to tell me how
great the performance was. They
meant well, no doubt, but l could not
appreciate their kindness and refused
to be comforted. Among those present
was German-Anerican from some
where out west, who, seeing my really
great disappointment, finally offered
me the temporary loan of his ticket,
on the condition that l should remain
only for one number. l accepted with
thanks, of course, for a crumb of WaS-

his rashnesS in trusting his precious
ticket to a. stranger, and, in order 10

and its brevity was a source of much
regret. While there was no particular
need for warming up the public
the house was packed both nights
there is no doubt that at least double
the engagement would have been prof
liable to all concerned. Miss Walsh $
Fedora. particularly, created a flood of
enthusiastic comment, and a repetition
of this play would have brought out
that. large element which always waits
to hear things talked about. In the
Theatrical style of acting Miss Walsh
is undoubtedly one of the best in the
country. As regards this style vs.. the
realistic" that Is quite another ques-
ton That Miss Walsh created a pro-
found impression is = fact, and we
hope for another visit in the near fu
tLre from Fanny Davenport's beauti-
full successor.

Chucklng down four twenty-dollar
| bills, hve-dOllar note and some odd
pieces to make out the change right
under ones nose, Is a performance that
| would cause even city editor to prick
up his ears and squint his eyes little
to get a sure reading of it, and assure
himself OF what it means.
And when it comes to a country
editor being startled by such thing
right In big company-well, no one
can tell about his feelings but himself
or some other country editor.
Such thing occurred in the pres

him what he showed that much money
at the ticket agent for and almost be-
fore we could get good look at The
stuff Fir. Bryan "scooped it up" with
his digital apparatus at the end OF his
long arm and we saw no more of the
money. Knowing, however, that it
was serving some one a good turn (the
lucre always does thaD we turned
again TO the broker and waited for his
explanation.
"That money belongs to the farmers
of this community" said the broker.
"How is that?" we asked.
''1t is the freight charge On car
load OF corn which 1 have just had
brought to Scotland Neck and sold to
the farmers around here"
Then the broker voluntarily made
the following statement, which is none
of our fabrication if it is not true:
He said, "The freight charges tor
hay, corn and oats that have been
shipped to Scotland Neck from Jan. l,
1899, to May Is, 1899, four and one
half months, Will amount to $4,000"
