MANS ENEMY TONIGHT.

company, which will be seen at the
Grand Opera House tonight, lost quite
an important stage property" recent
ly, which might have had serious re-
suits had not Theodore Babcock, the
leading actor of the company, found
out the mistake. IL appears that dur
ing one Of the scenes of the play, the
second act, Mr. Babcocl1 has reason to
strike Mr.. Shine a blow across the
face with his glove and Mr.. Shine-who
lis playing the Russian nobleman-
takes exception and forthwith draws a
dagger from his pocket and attempts
to strike Babcock, but in drawing the
weapon upon this occasion Babcock no
.ticed the glistening steel and for once
failed to touch the dagger, but under
his breath whispered to Shine to look
out that the dagger is real." SO Shine
withheld the intended blow A partic-
.ularly excellent company has been en-
gagged to present the play, and it is
given an elaborate production in every
detail.

THURSDAY. MARCH Is, 1900

Chief Dolan has in many ways and
constantly proven his capabilities as
chief of police. Wilmington's police
force is vigilant, discriminating and
efficient. The chief is entitled to the
thanks Of the people of the city for
his work and the work done by the
force under his command The arrest
of an alleged comedian for indecency
during an entertainment at the Acad-
emy Of Music last night is an instance
in point. There is no excuse for in
flicting vulgarity from the stage upon
an audience. There is no reason why
an audience should submit to it.
Newspapers are daily rich with better
jokes than any heard from the stage;
and they are never tainted with indie
cency even by innuendo. There is no
necessity to resort to the nasty in or
der to raise a laugh; and indecency
merits Kisses instead Of applause.

A GREAT SUCCESS

One OF the great successes of last sea-
son was the quaint play of New Eng
land life, Way Down East" which
comes to the Opera House tomorrow
night For seven months it packed the
Manhattan Theatre, New York, and is
everywhere received with repeated
success. The play was written by Lot
tie Blair Parker, elaborated and staged
by j. r. Grismer and will be produced
under the management Of w. A. Brady
in the same complete manner that has
characterized its success in the Man
haitian. A company Of sterling merit,
complete scenery, beautiful pictures of
New England rural life. novel mechani-
cal effects, including the great snow
storm that has caused no end of com
ment, intricate appurtenances and ex-
tensive auXiliaries; in fact. the play
will in every way be worthy of the
fame that has heralded it. 1t has been
termed a play Of universal sympathy.
because it possesses an element so sad
ly lacking in many plays "one touch of
nature" 1t is a story simple, yet plain
ly told, with plain characters. none the
less unique because Of their natural
ness, telling of rural life in New Hamp-
shire, just as IL is teaching a lesson
without the pedagogical attachment; in
fact the listener is content to take il
home himself, enjoying it all the more
keenly because Of the naturalness of
manner in which it is conveyed. Clergy
men, school teachers, and others, who
are rarely seen at the theatre, are en-
thusiastic in their endorsement of this
play. It Is not an exaggeration to say
that it is a drama of life full of simple
humor and homely pathos, put in a
framework that affords a simple en-
tertainment eminently successful II
has been said that the stage would
make extensive gains if it had a few
more plays like Way Down East"

BETRAYED HIS PARTY.

The Essex county IN. j. democratic
committee an organization so unusu-
ally large as to look like a county con-
vention when In session, refused to
pass resolutions endorsing the admin
istration Of the democratic mayor OF
Newark. There was but one objection
to such endorsement The opponents
Of the resolutions fought them on the
ground that Mayor Seymour has failed
to name a democrat to succeed John S.
Gibson, republican, as city comptrol-
Ter. The latter is still holding the Of
fee. The committee was entirely
right if Mr.. Gibson's term of office has
expired or if he is removable at the
will Of the mayor. He is a consistent
republican; an active worker; an elo-
quent stump speaker; an able and eff
Client official, too. But the democrats
carried the election Of the city of New
ark and they are entitled to all the Of
iices that may be filled by appoint
ment There are plenty Of democrats
IN Newark who would as efficiently as
Mr. Gibson discharge the important
duties Of comptroller and it is clearly
the political duty Of Mayor Seymour to
displace Mr.. Gibson and replace him
with democrat If he does not do his
political and party duty he betrays his
party, and it ought to cruelty him po-
liucally.

and manage a newspaper or do any
thing elsei How Christian people
can behold this irreverent degradation
and caricature OF the spirit and char
acter of Jesus and not resent It, is dif-
dcult to understand, especially when
the commercial feature of the exhibit
ton is made so very conspicuous.
The following remonstrance, by the
Rev. DR.. Robert S. Macarthur Is a very
mild protest, indeed when the magni-
tude of the o1ense is considered:
1T is easy also to border on the III
diculous, the irreverent, even the BIAS
phemous, in asking and answering
questions OF this character.
"The fact Is, that all the circum-
stances OF our material life differ so
widely from those Of Christ's time and
country that it is impossible to say
what He would do II He were here to-
day. Indeed, it was impossible to an
ticipate what He would do in Judea
when He was on the earth. He con-
stantly did many things which We're
the very opposite of those which He
was expected to do.
''He accepted the invitation of a pub
lican to dine at his house. This act
shocked the conservative religionists
OF that day. He had words of well
come, encouragement and forgiveness
for outcast men and women, to whom
the respectable classes of the time
would not speak He was a radical
along many lines of social custom and
Of religious reform. To undertake to
say what He would do now, were He
here in the midst Of the stirring events
Of our material life, is to be guilty Of q
presumption that is simply irrever-
ent.
"The most that can be said is that
man may suggest a course of proceed
ure on his part, growing out of our
knowledge OF His life as revealed in
Holy Scripture; but when men under
take to describe in detail what His
course would be along the lines of
daily life, they are intruding into a sa-
cred sphere which is equally pre-
sumptuous and irreverent on their
parts"
