PoIt,s Wonderland Thcatew.

Mr.. Polls bill this week is fine one.
A genuine thriller" heads the bill, be-
ing a twenty minute melo-drama "A
Forlorn Hope" played by Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph j. Bowling, and their company
1t is full of jumping excitement and
ends in the climax of a Calling gun in
action, while Indians drop dead like
flies and soldiers rush to the rescue of
the besleged. The play is all about a
small band Of soldiers who are corner
ed in dug out by a swarm of Indians.
Of course they escape, and the buglar
boy proves to be the heroine in disguise,
but for some time it is made to look
like another Custer massacre. The act
was great success last night delight
ing the big audience. Hickey and Mel
son. the best acrobatic comedy team
that we have seen, is big hit of the
bill. Nellie Burt and her pickaninnies;
Julian Rose, Hebrew comedian: Hale
and Frances, Stanley and Wilson, New
ell, Chinquilla and Dinnfrio, Cook and
Lester, and Miles and Mignon make
up very even bill.
Prices-Matinee, 10c and zoe; evening,
10c, zoe and soc: ladies at matinee, 10c.
The show at Polls will be continuous
to-day. The doors will be open at 1890

Grand Opern Hnune

Uncle Josh Spruceby" will he the
Christmas attraction and he ahneared
for the first time in this CITY last NIGHT
ana made success, 1t Is a well known
New England comedy drama and the
scenic and mechanical effects are very
good. The play is series of charac-
tiers from rural life in Vermont and
enough comedy and specialties are in
troduced to please all Among the
principal scenes are an old fashioned
husking bee with the old time country
dance, introducing the entire company
and the great sawmill scene. The
piece is somewhat on the style of the
odd Homestead" and plays of that
character. A pure aud wholesome story
Is told and much of the scenery is rus
tic pastoral and there are a number of
sparkling climaxes which will please
the gallery gods" Uncle Josh and his
trials in seeing New York are verv
amusing. Aside from performers the
company has an excellent orchestra Of
twelve pieces, which alone is worth the
price Of admission and the concert be-
fore the performance is worth while
hearing by all lovers of music The
combined band gave street parade
yesterday noon and was loudly ap-
plauded. 1t was very unique and is
well worth seeing. After having seen
so many nelodramas and farce come
dies it is very pleasing to an audience
to witness such a realistic old New
England play, especially at this season
of the year, when we all are thinking of
old homes. The company which has
been selected to present this well known
play is headed by Joseph r. Keller as
Uncle Josh. His portrayal of the
quaint New England farmer is most
excellent and he made much of the
part and well earned the applause he
received Miss Jovfta Ermey was ex-
cellent as his daughter. Miss Louise
Foster as the old time village belle was
very good and her songs and dances in
teh second act were we'll rendered
Claude Radcliff in q number of songs
and dances and especially his dancing
We're most excellent and received
round of applause. Miss May Floyd
also has pleasing song ana dance.
Other specialties are introduced by Mr..
Keller and Harry Fen Tell. ID. e. Grin
dell was good as the villain. Others de-
serving of special mention were Ralph
Dinsmore, Charles Porter and James
Bowen. "Uncle Josh" can be seen this
when the prices will be the
same as at night, this evening and to-
morrow afternoon and evening. Mr..
Bunnell wishes all his patrons happy

many surprises in store for them

vir:inians Versus British.

Editor of The Times:
tSir,-In your edition of yesterday you
have an editorial headed: IF Pickett's
Division Were There referring to the
repulse of the British at Spon Kop by the
Beers, in which it is stated, as the opin-
ion of The Times. that Pickett and his
..Virginians' CO would have swept the
Beers off the earth.
This may be true, and If true. am
glad for the sake of the Bocrs that Pick
EFT and his Virginians were not there.
That is not the point, however, that
calls forth this reply. 1t is such arro-
CANT assumptions as the following: But
when all the facts attending the charge
of Picketts Division Of Virginians, at
Gettysburg, are considered, etc, etc.
Nevertheless, that body of 1850 Vir-
ginans marched through it all right up
TO the stone wall. leaped it, and cut
through everything there" etc, etc. Con-
ceit is not one OF the last of good old
Virgina's virtues. VirSinians are all
honorable men, good and generous, but
their point of view from which they
contemplate the civil war is SO narrow
and prejudced. by ,conceit and egotism,
that when one hears them talk about
the war, one wonders if any other South
ern State had any part in it.
They have so magnifed every battle
anu lHcluSUIs OL tHe war 10 FlISi!iif,
honor and glory, that they are totally
unconscious that there We're others in
the conflict
And have told these magnifel romances
Of their soldiers performing all the gal
liant and heroic deeds and doing all the
fighting, so often, they themselves have
actually come to believe it is all gospel
truth.
When I see this tendency in my Vir-
gina friends. a sense of loyalty to truth
and history irclnes me to remind then,
that there We're Others from the
South, in the fight and particularly at
the battle Of Gettysburg, ard that on
that memorable day, when "Pickctts Di-
vision OF Virginians" (?) made the glor-
Gus charge. there We're just q few troops
from other States that constituted PICK
ett's Division, particularly from North
Carolina. and that there was & man
named Pettgrew. commanding a brigade
OF North Carolina troops, whose brigade
went farther and lost more men than any
other organization in the Division, in the
glorious charge of "Picsett's Virginians."
I have seen an official map prepared
by the United States War Department
OF the battle of Gettysburg, showing
Pettigrew's men on the Yankee side of
the stone fence.
l merely cite these facts, we'll known
outside of Virginia, in the interest of
historical accuracy.
