ADJUSTMENTS
The Herald Square Opera Company
Gave Two Delightful Performances
Yesterday Afternoon and Last Night.
Howard Kyle and Blind Tom Coming

The Herald Square Opera Company,
composed of first class fun makers and
quite number of chorus girls, gave
two performances at the opera house
yesterday. In the afternoon they pre-
sented the "Village Bride in a satis-
factory manner to a good audience
that was more than pleased. The
Circus Girl was presented last night
to more than good Saturday night
house. The company is a good one,
embracing many pretty girls, and
judging from the applause that greeted
them at every turn, we should say that
their performance was appreciated to
very great degree.
BLIND TOM
This wonderful negro pianist, after an
absence of nearly twenty years, VIII be
again heard at the opera house next
Thursday and Friday, November 14th
and 18th, and also Friday at matinee.
He is evidently the same old Blind
Tom. We copy the following from the
Columbia (S. c. State:
"The audience at Columbias play
house last night was of such propor-
tions as is calculated to make the heart
of any manager glad. The house was
crowded from pit to dome, large num-
bers of ladies occupying seats in the
gallery. Every one vas of course de-
lighted with the harmony of sweet
sounds which Blind Tom the musical
wonder of the age, colled forth from
the piano. an instrument of which he
is supreme master. Perhaps the pest
number on the programme, and the one
executed with most expression, was
The Last Hope, by Gottscnalk. This
beautiful production was played with
| great feeling and caused Tom 10 be
| overwhelmed with applause Tom is

| Seats will be on sale "Wednesday at

DEATH OF MRS. BISSETT
The Widow of the Late Captain Bissett
Passed Away Yesterday-Her Aged
Mother Died Last Monday

We are panied to record the death Of
Mrs Kate Watts Bissett whose serious
illness we mentioned a few days ago.
She passed into rest at 11:20 o'clock
yesterday morning at her home, 5:13
North Third street. She had been an
invalid about three years and had been
critically i'll for about ten days previ-
Gus to her death.
Mrs. Bissett was the widow of the
late Captain John Bissett who died
about 1S months ago. She was born in
Dundee, Scotland, but at the age of
eight years came to America with her
parents who settled in Cincinnati. In
that city AZ years ago she was married
to Captain Bissett and soon after their
marriage they came to Wilmington.
They leave four daughters and three
sons, all of this city. The sons are
Messrs. j. r. Bissett. J. E. Bissett, and
w. A. Bissett, and the daughters are
Mrs. w. G. VonGlahn, Mrs, r. F. War
rem, and Misses Mary and Jessie Bissett
They have a wide circle of friends who
deeply sympathize with them in the ir-
reparable loss they have sustained in
the death of an affectionate mother.
For many years Mrs. Bissett has been
a member of st. Andrews Presbyterian
church, and she was the oldest member
of the Ladies' Aid Society of that
church. She was active in good works
and deeds of kindness and charity and
goes to her blessed reward with her
duty on earth having been well done.
It was only on Monday last that a
telegram was received from Bonaparte,
Iowa, announcing the death of Mrs.
Bissett's mother, at the advanced age
of SS years. Owing to her serious con-
dition she was not apprised Of the death
of her mother.
The funeral will take place tomorrcv
morning at 10:30 o'clock at St. An
drews' Presbyterian church. The inter
men will be made at Oakdale cemetery
