MAJOR NJ j. Bowling has aban-

Republican nomination for repre-
sentative in congress from the Sew
enth district, and Andrew j. Vol
stead, on the face of the official re-
turns, has won out by plurality of
200 over MIR. Bowling. On last
Tuesday it looked as though Mr..
Bowling might enter contest, the
papers claiming that Mr.. Bowling
claimed that the Grant county vote
should be thrown out, as the names
Of candidates were not rotated on

OPERA HOUSE OPENS.
Manager Thompson Presents Remond-

The newly remodeled opera house
was thrown open to the public for
the first time last Wednesday even
ing. the comedy drama, Si Perkins,
being the initial play presented be-
fore the several hundred people
present.
Manager Thompson has been the
recipient of many congratulations
since the play. He has expended
nearly $1,000 in renovating, deco
rating and remodeling the building,
interior and exterior, and when the
people we're given seats Wednesday
evening they wondered at the trans
formation. A dress circle has been

placed in the same. New wings
have been placed on the stage, new
paper covers the walls and ceilings,
while handsome panels are set in
bold relief on either side of the
stage circle In addition to this
Mr.. Thompson has added an electric
lighting system to the opera house,
and 76 incandescenu jets are placed
in the ceiling, around the dress cir
Gle. These are SO arranged by
switches that any group of them
may be shut off at any time, while
a DINNER is at hand for reducing
the light to suit the scene. Still
further, Mr.. Thompson has put in a
ventilation system, and now the
hall is perfectly ventilated, and this
alo1e has been the cause of many
congratulations for Mr.. Thompson.
The ticket Office has likewise been
reairanged and thoroughly per-

the large audience. Combing COM

commanding a good light. These lead
a happy, Bohemian life, and when they
tire OF it, they may return to their
homes, often luxurious ones, none the
worse for the experience.
But there is another class and they
pursue their art in dead earnest. They,
both young women, and men. live in
cheap boarding houses. in some in
stances painting, cooking their meals
and sleeping in one small room. They
paint away as long as they can see,
and then, tired out. they seek what hap
piness they may in sleep. Occasionally
they sell pot boiler" and then their
cup of joy is full indeed.
Some of these have genuine talent
and then they steadily rise to better
things. This is not aways the case
and then there ensue a series OF bitter
disappointments. These the artists
never attribute to their own lack OF
genius, but to the defective methods OF
their teachers. They go ON from ong
to another, always hoping for some
turn OF fortunes wheel which will
bring them wealth and fame.

Most Fashionable NorfoIks

More and more shaDeless are the
Norfolk jackets, with the three pleats
lack aud front and the belt, of the
same material as the gown, worn quite
below the waist line. The fashion is
in itself decidedly a masculine one,
and it is a mistake to exaggerate the
original lines, as in some instances
where a wOman's coat is cut on ex-
actly the lines of a mans. In all the
severe tailors styles any attempt at elab-
crate trimming is a mistake and entire
ly ruins the smart effect. but a clever
tailor will cOntrive, even while keeping
a certain mannish air 10 the costume,to
add some dainty feminine touch, which
makes the garment infinitely more be-
coming. The newest OF the Norfolk
Jackets are made with a pointed yoke,
and are copied from the same design
as the MANS coat of the same style.
but should have some curve at the side
seams, and the sleeves should be rather
larger. The skirt is made plain-r in
box plaits and circular in shape. and
the old-fashioned plain skirt is rather
the smarter. The only trimming pos
sible is the narrow bias bands around
the skirt, but as the most popular ma
terials are the dark ground, with hair
stripe Of white, CT made OF some mixed
cheyiot and consequently no trim
ming is required.

Ever since "San Toy" which comes

Theatre, George Fortescue, the 1885,
pound comedian, has played the part of
Yen How, the mandarin with the six
little wives, and has never missed
performance. This season, however,
Messrs. Stevens and Price the mama
gers of the "San Toy" Company, de-
cided that they ought to provide an
understudy for Fortescue in case he
might at some time become indispOsed
and unable to appear, so they have en-
gagged Wilfred Gerdes for that import
ant position. Mr. Gerdes is a slight
young man Of 34S pounds, but he stated

PREACHERS AGlTATED BY LETTER
Appeared in Delaware News and
Says Church Members Should
be Careful

The following letter, which appeared
in the Delaware State News, at Dover,
is the one that so agitated the minis
ters in Dover:
Editor Delaware State News.
Dear Sir: Seeing an editorial i'm the
News of November IL, which condemns /
the sellers of votes in Kent and Sussex
counties, l am constrained to make a
plea in their behalf not that uphold
the selling of this divine right, but in
comparison with the buying Of same /
think it is honorable.
A poor negro or a poor farmer orI
worxingman who never expects any
thing from his party, either in the
shape OF Office or patronage, is ap-
preached by a pillar in the church (no
matter which one) q man he has al
ways looked up to as a Christian law
abiding, a model and one who should
set an example for probity, honesty,
and all such, and this hypocrite says to
him. Now. IL is no dishonor for you
to rent, or lease your vote to us; you
don't sell It, we simply give you some
money TO vote our way and you have
the same right to sell it as you have
your pig. COW or horse"
Now, looking at the two men, is II
any mystery why one falls? AS long
as our representative citizens, ex-of-
fee holders, amen corner Christians
etc, persist IN this nefarous practice
the polls will be prostituted; might as
we'll put the votes up and sell at auc-
!. tion. or put the offices to the highest
bidder. No use TO roast any color
party or faction they go on the plaI
a that two wrongs make a right, and all
go down the stream in the same boat.
} No use of saddling this disgrace on
Kent and Sussex counties of our LITTLE
State. Pennsylvania, New York, New
Jersey and the majority of the State
do the same. either directly OF indi
rectly Delaware is looked upon b.
the outside world as rotten to the core
. but what State today isn't quartered fl
a glass house? Who dares throw tn
first brick Preachers are denouncin
/. the selling of votes; why don't the,
1 denounce members of their congrega
{ tions who take sacrament regularly
and still purchase them? When the
;, begin to do that, something will droI
