the auspices of Wilmington Aerie, Frater-
mai Order OF Eagles.
The performers are one hundred mem
bers Of tho Baltimore Aerie. They ar
rived in town today IN their special car
and attracted much attention on the
streets.
At their recent performances in Phila-
deIphia they drew crowded houses. They
received fattering notices im the Philadel-

preciative audience. The principal feature
Of the vocal end of tho program was Che
singing Of Somebody's Somebody, by
Harry Laib; Goodbye. Eliza Jane. by
Milton Wertheimer, and Use Got Feel
In for You, by johnnie Johns, all OF
which made hits An interesting portion
OF the entertainment are the moving pic
lures OF the Baltimore firc. Little need
be said Of Delmore and Lee, The novelty
gymnaShs Ford and Wilson, b'ack-face
eomodsans, and Harry cilfoil, In his char
acter creation, Baron Sands, the profess
sionals, who are Eagles.
The ministries have progressed wonder
fully They have only been organized
about seven weeks. and there are severa!
momhers who may some day tread the
boards as professionals.
There has been "a big advance sale Of
seats. and from present indlcaticns the
Opeia House will be taxed to accommo-
date all those who desire to see the show

ment features Of the season and those

Tomorrow night five hundred Eagles viii
be here from Chester to witness the per-

While several Of the performers are
professionals thcy are members of the
order, so that there is nothing i'm the per-

As an instance of the success with which

cited in the fact that about $1,000 worth
Of seats were sold dn Baltimore several
days in advance OF the performance.
There will be but two performances in
Wilmington, tonight and Thursday.

Deliver on Trusts.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
AS to the trusts in their alleged con-
neetlon with tariffs, senator Dolllver
was perfectly clear He stated only the
truth when he said: There Is only one
sense in which the protective tariff can
be held responsible for the trusts--that
is that without the protective tariff
there would have been fewer Industries
TO combine, and therefore fewer COM
binations."
The Senator might have added, and
perhaps did. that the Republican party
was not concerned to maintain the tar
ut In order that trusts might prosper.
but in order that there may continue
to be competition with the trusts. I'm
der the free-trade policy which Demo-
Gratis favor, the only survivors among
our American Industries would be those
powerful would-be monopolisls which
usually control the most profitable
plants. These would then be in a posi-
ton to safely unite with their brethren

abroad that this was to be a worlds

The death Of Henry NJ. Stanley calls
to mind that period OF American jour4

and even international import.
Stanley was newspaper reporter
and the qualities which afterwards
made him famous attracted the atten-
tion OF James Gordon Bennett, of the
New York Herald. That genius OF
newspaperdom conceived the idea OF
sending the young reporter to Africa to
find Livingstone. The maps OF the

was marked "unexpl0red'

that his quest had been successful--he
