"You are always a very pleasant fellow,
Algy" remarks Lady Chet.and in the first
act Of Lord aud Lady Algy' and ii is
quite certain that this statement will be
echoed by everyone who may be so for
unate as to see william Faversham in
his favorite role as Lord Algy at the
Grand Opera House tomorrow night. The
fact that good comedies do not spoil by
being kept a while in cold storage was
evidenced by the enthusiastic welcome
accorded William Faversham and his
capable company by appreelative New
York theatre-goers during the engagement
of Mr.. Faversham in his recent revival
of r. c. Cartons exquisite play at the
Criterion Theatre. New York City.

"The Toreador," which will be given
at the Grand Opera House next Satur-
day afternoon and night by the JEFF
ferson De Angels Opera Company, is
said to have proved the most success
full of any of the recent musical pieces
presented by this popular comedian,
who is given splendid opportunities to
display his well-known qualities as a
fun-maker in the role of Sammy Gigg.
and he has created no end of merri-
ment in the many laughabe situations
in which he is placed during the course
of the play. Edgar Norton, Margaret
Mckinney, Edna Burd, Bertha Ricci,
Norma Bell. Fred S. Heck and John
Dudley have all added to their repu-
tations in their clever representations
Of agreeable characters.e Sam S. Shu-
bert and Nixon & Zimmerman. it is

The all too short season of subscrip-
tion concerts given in Wilmington by
the Philadelphia Orchestra win close
with the concert to be given at the
Grand Opera House tonight. In honor
Of the seasons farewell Mr.. Scheel has
arranged one of the most attractive
programs ever presented to a Whining
ton audience, and the management of
the orchestra has provided in Mr.. Sand
by, the famous violoncellist, a soloist
of the first rank. The great expense
attached to the giving of these con-
certs goes to prove more strongly than
words the generosity Of the directors
and guarantors of this organization
and the only way our city can greaten
its chances of having other seasons Of
concerts by the Philadelphia Orchestra
is to evince their appreciation of the
present most excellent one.

Quite a Scare.

While the clerk and commissioners
were engrossed in counting the
ballots this afternoon, about 2:45
blaze was discovered among some
papers behind the counter in the
County Clerks office. There was
some tall hustling done to put the
fire out which was done IN quick
order. The fire department had not
reached the south side of the square
before they learned that all was over.
Charlie Younkin distinguished him
self with the water-bucket. No
damage was done. 1t is supposed
some one threw a match into the
papers, causing the blaze.

The OlmitZ Fire.

After we had gone to press last
week we learned of a serious fire
at Olmitz yesterday. 1t seems that
the Shugart barn and contents, in
Guiding eighteen head of horses, was
destroyed; also the keenan, joint and
another small building. The Sig
Jacoby store was on fire and most of
the goods were moved out, but the
fire was extinguished before the en-
tire building burned. These losses
will be quite serious blow to Olmitz.
We did not learn what insurance, if
any, was carried.

Now that it is known beyond a
doubt that there are cases of
diphtheria in town we hope that our
people will take every precaution to
prevent the spread of this dread dis
ease. There is no need of becoming
unduly alarmed about it; but there IS
need of using every precaution to
prevent its spreading. With the very
first signs of sore throat, keep the
little ones at home and out of the
cold, and begin using proper treat
ment.
