Squires sat to the right of the Adjutant General, and among the numbers of pret- ty women down the line was Mrs. Barnes Morgan, wife of Captain Morgan. Captain Hampton L. Smith and Lieutenant Lucien Brown were members of interesting groups, while the large number of visiting officers made a glance along the line vision of gold lace and braid while now and then the flashing swords caught the laces on the summer gowns of number less young women who probably prfzed bit Of torn lace as a memento of the bril- liant occasion
 The band played throughout the evening, and 1t was all very attrac- tive and very charming and very military the latter quality lending elements of eX citcnent and picturesqueness in compari- son to which other functions seem rather tame. And one came away with a vision of gold lace, and army insignia, and even after one passed regimental headquarters it was not difficult to imagine 1t all over again or to even hear the strains from the band.
 Among the many interesting stories re- peated during the evening there were none more full of dramatic incident than that recalled by Colonel Stevens.
 Adjutant General w. W. Brandon, when the regiment at Mobile was being reviewed by the Governor and his staff the past week, was unexpectedly given an oppor- tunity to further distinguish himself, and on this occasion he but added to his popu- larity.
 On the parade ground at Mobile, as the regiment was passing in review, little child broke through the lines and in a. mo ment was in imminent danger of being crushed under the horse upon which the Adiutant General was mounted. The throngs upon the grand stand were breath less, while Colonel Brandon himself was practically the only person who retained his presence of mind. In his effort to save the child, be refined in his horse with such violence that the magnificent, charger rear ed and fell upon its back. The Adjutant General leaped from his saddle. and a mo ment later remounted and dashed forward to take his place in the review. His sv.- dierly bearing and the quiet demeanor that ch lracterize him never being more strohsi ly in evidence, or calling forth more en- thusiastic admiration and applause, asS the grand stand fluttered thousands of hand kerch;efs and cheered even above the strains from the regimental band; while the handsome and courtly AdJutsTst Gen eral sat his horse as calmly as if nor--.aS out of the ordinary had occurred
 As Colonel Stevens grew very eloquent in recalling the incident, the Adjutant General laughingly declared that since tragedy had to be averted, he was r1Itu- nate to figure in dramatic incident that occurred in full view of the grand stand. The Adjutant General is the happy re- cipient of a handsome watch and charm presented him by the members of the Sec ond Regiment, of which he was in com mand during the Spanish-American war. 1t is decarated uith the nasigais. ct tssg as1r,, sg.

costuming will be unusually handsome and the scenic effects are elaborate. The story of the fairy tale is carried out in dialogue, while scarf drills. marches and dances add to the attractiveness of the play The cast besides the principal characters, will in- clude ladies in waiting on the queen lords, fairies and others who will take part in the drills and dances. One of the features will be the statuary scene, in which a a number of young women will be beauti- fully posed. The tickets are selling rapidly, and from all indications the Jefferson theatre will be crowded. The fact that the entertainment will be for the benefit of the Hillman Hospital has aroused unusual in- terest and everything points to both an artistic and financial success.

regiment. It was fitting sequel to the day.
 It was as if vast space was planked by men in regimentals, while officers dash- ed here and there and gave one glimpse of martial figures. The sentinels patrolea the lines, and beyond the regiment was passing slowly in review. From a stan iluttered the American colors, and beyond was a crimson sky. Twenty feet away one could not distinguish one person from an- other The men might all have worn kharlSi uniforms. One could not dis tinguish an Adjutant General from a Ma jor but beyond in the open field, upon which the twilight had come were brave men, wearing the uniforms of their coun- try, and following, as they would follow in battle the ringing commands that came from their officers The great difference was of course that they were not earth stained and battle-scarred troopers, but one wanted to cheer all the same, and it Was only the etiquette of the occasion that de- manded perfect decorum, and the beautiful dignity of it all would have made It bad form to have even given gasp Of recog- milton to any man in the field.
 After dress parade, the men, marching to their tents, might have been accused Of "scorcning" but they should have been excused for that for over at the mess hall a delicious hot supper was awaiting them, but after all the mess hall had to be en- tered at walk.

COLORED VOTERS
OPPOSE ADDICkN
Make Public Their Intentions
to Support the Re-
publican Ticket
Special 10 tho Evening Journal

Brdgeville, Del, Aug. 6.--Without a
moments warning the colOred voters in
southern Delaware have made public
their intention OF supporting the Re-
publican ticket this election. and con-
sternation consequently relgns among
Addicksites Of this district
The fact that the flop Is a universal
one and not confined 10 few OF the
colored leaders has thrown Addlcks
heelers into a panic-stricken state, for
they had depended to a great extent
upon the colored vote to help elect their
ticket in this district. so many OF their
white members having gone over to
the Republicans.
Until a few days ago It was believed
by politicians Of both parties that the
colored voters would support the Ad-
dicks cause. Then 1t was that the
colored leaders were made aware OF the
fact that Cornelius p. Swayne was a
candidate for representative TO the Gen
eral Assembly. The flop was an Inn
mediate occurrence.
For years past Cornelius +. Swayne
has been held in great esteem by all
colored voters of Southern Delaware
During the past two campaigns Mr.
Swayne had taken no active part in
things political. and consequently the
majority OF the colored voters Were
ured from the Regular fold by the
false promises OF Addicks heelers. Now
that Mr. swayne is again in the race
however, they viii support the Regu-
lar ticket TO a man, and leaders OF the
colored contigent are beginning to take
an active part in the campaign.
All is enthusiasm and harmony
among the Regulars, and with the un.
expected assistance of the colored vote
they are fully confident OF winning.
