ADJUSTMENTS.

THE HEART OF MARYLAND"
For the second time. David Belaseo's
phenomenally successful realistic and
romantic drama, ''rhe Heart of Mary
land, will be seen at the Opera House
next Monday night. Since it was last
presented here, II appears to have ac-
centuated its claim as one of the most
popular as we'll as perfect of modern
American dramas of the time, by at
tracing a vastly large series Of audi
ences than that which greeted it upon
the occasion of its primal tour outside
of New York. The story and the rap
idly succeeding attractive central fig
ure of the dramatic personnel, Mary
land Calvert, the heroine, are made IA
miliar in the preceding visit OF the
play That il is welcome upon this oc-
casion by Wilmington theatregoers
will be measured only by the seating
capacity OF the house is assured by the
advance demand for seats already in
progress.

MRS. LIE MoYNE COMING.

Mrs Sarah Cowell lie Moyne will
present her new play, The Greatest
Thing in the World" at the Opera
House on next Tuesday night. OF the
play the Washington Star says: 1T
IS a story of the defiant maternal de-
votion which evolutionists would cold
ly say comes up to us from the same
source whence the tigress has the in
stinct to fight for her cubs. The woman
is fighting for her offspring, fighting
an actual physical danger and at the
same time waging a more doubtful and
desperate moral battle. Mrs. lie
Moyne's portrayal is admirable The
character is the sort of a woman that
every man whose heart is anywhere
near the right place. believes his mo-
ther to be. Virginia Bryant (Mrs. lie
Moyne) and her sons Cecil (Robert
Edeson) and Harold (Walter Thomas)
make home study whose value is not
cheapened by any commonplace lee
lures on generalities. The comedy
scenes in which this trio appear are
perhaps a little Fauntleroyish, but
Fauntleroyism has many admirers"

ENGLISH MATCHES.

England, not Sweden, is the country
having the largest match factories.
England produces the largest number
OF matches. According 10 a report just
published In London the total produc-
tion OF the English match industry Is
estimated at no less than 100000 600
matches per day. and the value OF the
annual production at about $4,000, ,00O
In spite OF this enormous production,
England consumes considerable guam
titles OF foreign matches. The entire
match industry OF England annually
consumes l.400 tons OF phosphorus.
In the largest OF all factories in this
branch OF industry. that Of the firm OF
Bryant & May. the annual production
amounts to 500,000.000 boxes, or about
10000, 100000 matches OF the ordinary
kinds. besides 5000 900 900 safety
matches and a great number OF wax
matches. which. in spite OF their cost.
are extensively used I'm many coun-
tries, especially In Australia.

MIDWAY ISLANDS
HIDDEN IN THE PACIFIC OCEAl
AND ONLY BIRDS FOR TENANTS

HIDDEN IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN
AND ONLY BIRDS FOR TENANTS.
Admiral Bradford, chief Of the
Equipment Bureau, has received the
report OF Commander Hodges, of the
Nero, upon the survey made by that
vessel of the Pacific Ocean to find a
practicable route for a submarine cable
from California to Honolulu, Guam,
Midway Islands, Luzon and Yokohama.
The officer reports that his survey de-
yeloped a route for the cable eminently
satisfactory and thoroughly practica-
BILE.
Commander Hodges reports that cur
rents OF the Pacific are very variable
and orratic and subject to a tidal in.
fluence, especially in the vicinity OF
reefs and islands. so that very careful
navigation is necessary, especially from
the Hawaiian Islands to Midway.
Commander. Hodges report includes
one from Assistant Surgeon Mccullough
in regard to Midway Islands, in which
he says:
The larger OF the two islands which
compose the group is known as Sand
Island. II is an irregular pyriform
atoll, entirely surrounded by barrier
reef, complete except at two points
both of which are sufficiently wide Ia
permit approach to the sand beach. II
Is about two and one-half miles long
and varies from one-half to two and
one-half miles in breadth. its widest
part pointing to the southwest Be
tween the barrier and the beach is q
lagoon, which fairly surrounds all the
islands. bordering on the ocean, and Is
fully a mile and one-half wide at lis
greatest breadth. Within it great
masses of coral project above the sur.
face at various points.
"On the highest portion of the is
land (the northern) and not more thar
thirty yards from the beach one room
house was constructed many years age
by the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany at a time when they intended us
ing the island as a coaling station. !
placard within announces that tn,
writer thereof, the commander of ;
schooner. had been wrecked on the is
land in September, 1888. and had re
mained there until February 1890; tina
during that time he had buried four O
his crew. He also stated that by dig
ging four feet at an indicated poin
water. and good water too, could be oh
tanned. There were also numerous evi
dences Of subsequent occupation. -

HOW A PORTER ROSE IN LIFE.

s.HOW A PORTER ROSE IN LIFE.
sA young man once wrote to me from
che country, writes Coils p. Hunting
ton in Success, that he would like to
have me get him a clerkship in a
store. I wrote him to come down-that
| would get a place for him. He re-
piled that he did not like to come down
until the place had been secured. 1
told him not to wait for that. so he
came. The morning after his arrival in
New York | took him to a large lob
bing house and told the principal man
there that l had brought from the coun-
try boy who wanted a place what
position do you want for him?" I was
asked. ] replied that / would like him
made assistant TO the chief porter. The
principal said that he could give him
that kind of position; but the young
man called me aside and told me he
could do better for himself than to
take such a place as he had been a
clerk in country store a year. Never
mind that said /. your being in a
country store won't help you. Take the
place | have gotten for you. and do
the work better than it has ever been
done before" He was not pleased, but
took my advice and started at wages OF
about SO a week, and / have no doubt
he did the very best he could, for he
was advanced several times in the
course of the year When he had been
there something less than a year. he
came to me and told me that he had re-
ceived a proposition for three years at
a thousand dollars for the first year.
twelve hundred and fifty for the second
and fifteen hundred for the Third. /
told him that was very good. but not
to commit himself for any such length
of time, as / believed there was some
thing better and higher for him to do.
and that he would soon be able to do IT,:
but meanwhile to keep right along as
he was, doing the work they gave him
to do.
Before two years had elapsed he
found better position for himself else
where, and he achieved it by learning
the lesson Of beginning at the bottom
and working up. He took up the new
work in the same spirit with which he
began the old-with the determination
to master the work and do It better
than anybody else had done He has
been steadily going forward year by
year, until today he is worth about two
million dollars.

BIG sHAD SEASON PROMISED
LOCAL FISHERMEN FAR AHEAD
OF LAST YEAR IN THEIR CATCH.

LOCAL FISHERMEN FAR AHEAD
or LAST YEAR IN THEIR CATCH.
Despite the cool weather OF the past
few days, the shad fishermen are jubi-
liant over the number OF fish that are
being netted daily by them.
The indications so far are that this
season will far exceed last year and
that Of several years previous in the
catch, although the cold weather has
worked hardships on the fishers Yes
terday was an exceptional day with
them, and altogether about $500 shad
we're brought to the wharves. Both
John A. Walls and Joseph II. King are
engaged in the fish traffic again this
year and are supplying the New York
and Boston Markets. But few are de-
liYcred at local markets yet. Mr.
Walls has forty-two boats which fish
for him and deliver their catches at his
shipping house. Mr. King has sixty
boats on his list. which includes not
only local fishermen, but those from
Jersey and the bay.
Although the catch this season ex-
ceeds that of last year. the prices real
lied at this time are not as good. Yes
terday the price for straight shad was
about $40 per hundred. Roes brought
s25 and bucks s11 at the wharves. This
is a drop of about four cents per shad
to the fishermen from the prices last
year at the same time. The number
OF fish caught above last year will
however, more than make mp the de-
ficiency.
Yesterday one and half carloads OF
shad were shipped by local dealers &c
foreign points. The "shad train" con.
sisting of two express cars, is daily sci
upon Delaware street wharf and re
ceives the fish. King reported yester
day that he had received 4,5O0 shad
while Walls stated that he received
about 2,2OO Several boats came il
Monday night with their nets frozen.

SIXTY YEARS WITH
OUT PAY.


Elder Jonathan Van Cleave. OF Craw-
fordsville. Ind, whose death has just
been announced was In many ways
one OF the remarkable men OF Indiana.
Although "a years old, he preserved his
physical and intellectual strength until
within a few days before his death
when he suffered an attack of the grip
which proved fatal. In the sixty odd
years Of his ministry he averaged over
three sermons a week, exclusive Of
burial services. and he loved to boast
that he had never received a penny for
his work as a pastor. He cast his
first vote for Andrew Jackson. and was
proud Of the fact that he never missed
an election nor scratched a democratic
ticket. He lived since 1926 on the farm
he entered. and he travelled all over
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri to preach
at his own expense. He held fast TO
all the doctrines of the strictest of
predestinarian or old school Baptsts.
While a man OF radical views in poll
tics and religion. he was free from
all bitterness except on the subject OF
instrumental music In the church. He
had the regard OF all who knew him
and II is said that he never had a quar-
rel in his life. His sermons averaged
three hours in length. and he always
entered the pulpit without preparation
