Holiday trade has exceeded even the
most sanguine expectations, and retail
dealings in all staple lines of merchandise
are we'll maintained with the batter grades
of goods in brisk demand. Wholesome
conditions prevail In most sections of the
country The only adverse feature of the
situation is the fact that supplies of fuel
are utterly inadequate. Outside of the

vance of freight rates of 10 per cent on
steel and iron to take effect January l,
the situation is practically unchanged in
this line. Supplies of coke do not increase,
and many furnaces are idle.

1.-THE NERVE OF HIM."
Man Enters the Ella Home and
Goes to Bed in the Day Time.
Mrs. Ella Uses Gun to
Good Effect.

Last Saturday afternoon Mrs. W. z.
Ella heard some one walking in her bed
room at the Ella home, corner OF 1Oth
and Main streets. She knew that there
was no one in the house at the time out
herself and she could not account for
the footsteps. She determined to inves-
tigate and going to the head OF the
stairs leading into her room, she was
amazed and for the moment almost par
alyzed to see man within the room IN
the act of lying down on her bed. he
had the covers pulled down and it was
doubtless his intention to get into the
bed without removing his boots or his
clothes and he was just about to lie
down when Mrs. Ella came to the door
OF the room.
She recovered quickly at the shock OF
seeing the man in the room, whom she
knew at once to be an intruder and
quickly going to the bureau in the room
she took therefrom revolver and ask
ing the man what he was doing there
commanded him peremptorily to leave
the room instanter. He said in return
to her query that he was "just going to
lie down bit. mum" When she com
manded him to go he said "He didn't
know" whereupon Mrs. Ella got the gun
in close proximity to the fellows head
and he walked out Of that room and
down the stairs in double quick order.
Without any doubt the fellow was just
getting over a drunk and had that tired
feeling and he went wherever he thought
there was an opportunity to lie down.
He entered the Ella home by the front
door and his steps naturally tended up
stairs The door was open at the time
and he did not make any noise Of
any consequence going up the
stairs, but did make quite a considerable
noise when in the room which first at
tracted Mrs Elias attention.
Notwithstanding the fellows condition
1t WAS an act of bravery on the part of
Mrs. Ella to order the man out without
raising any fuss. When she commanded
him to go she did not know whether he
was drunk or sober or what he might do
to her..
When the fellow left the house Mrs.
Ella did not watch him and there were
no arrests made in the case.

''The White Slave. 2"

There was fairly good house at the
Park Saturday night to greet the raising
of the curtain for the performance OF
"The White Slave" The advertising
|.for the play had been quite extensive and
attractive, such as would draw good
audience for any entertainment. But
there was one thing about the advertis-
ing of 1.-THE White Slave" company
which does not always apply to poster
and newspaper advertising. and that was
that every situation which was men
toned either in their illustrations or in
their printed articles WAS carried out in
the proc uction OF the piece.
The play was strictly southern pro-
ductiou and was altogether pleasing in
its mixture Of SORROW and mirth. Deal
ing principally with the days OF slavery,
OF course many of the characters were
darkies, and the parts we're well taken.
especially that OF Martha, by Jennie
Chrissie Her expression was splendid.
Liza, the white slave, was portrayed in
a most delightful manner by Miss Ruth
M dCdulcy AC pun 6'A'S ocih ~ "NA'eS
parentage but, for the sake OF an old
family name, raised by an octoroon as
her own child and thus supposed to be
slave, WAS IN touch with the audience
from the start. Her love for Clay Brit
ton, white man, was most touching in
view OF the fact that she supposed her.
self to have negro blood in her veins aud
therefore not his equal. The faith Of
the young man to the slave girl was also
one of the factors which go to make the
reputation Of "The White Slave" one
which places the piece far above the Or
binary class OF plays on the road.
The singing of the eolored quartet was
fine and they were recalled several times.
| All the characters were well taken and
there was general satisfaction at the
| manner in which the acting was done by
the company.
The next attraction will be "At Valley
Forge" next Thursday.
