OPENING CONCERT AT PEACE.
A Delightful Event enjoyed last Night
BY Cultured and Enthusiastic
Audience.

The opening concert at Peace Insti-
tute for the season was given last
evening by the music faculty, assist
ed by Miss Helen Pollard, of the
School of Expression. Miss McLe-
mare, Miss Anderson and Miss BraW-
ley are already favorites with the
Raleigh public and were in unusual
ly good form.
Mrs. DUNCAN played brilliantly IN
her solo work, while as an accompa-
mist she showed great taste and SYM
pathy thus displaying versatility of
style. Miss Pollard is a worthy rep
resentative of the famous Emerson
College of Oratory, Boston. Her Sc
lections were most fortunate and her
charming presence and artistic rem
dition captiVated her audience.
Mrs. McLemore's beautiful voice
never showed to greater advantage
than in the magnificent Airs from
Samson and Dalila. The sustained
tones and exquisite shading thrilled
her hearers. Sagnoo D'Amour show
ed her wonderful technique and the
flexibility of her voice.
Miss Anderson's rendering of the
Perpetum Mobile was a wonderfully
artistic achievement. 1t was taken
from start to finish. The Adagio IN
striking contrast was equally beauti-
full.
Mr.. Brawley's playing of The Swan
Song was mastery. charming con-
trast was made by the delicate tech
mic of the Moskawski number and
the depth of feeling in the Serenatc'

1.-THE Office Boy" The jolly little
comedian has apparently found in
this play an entertainment entirely
suited to his peculiar methods.
1t is reported to be one of the fun
niest amusement offerings of the day

an elaborate and handsome one.
'The Rivals" Monday.
Joseph jefferson and William w.
Jefferson will be seen in 1.-The Rivals
at the Academy of Music Monday
evening, September 25. Theatre
goers need not be informed that the
Jeffersons visit here mean dramatic
treat of unusual dimensions, they
know and appreciate the inimitabe
quality of their art. Therefore, to
see these splendid artists in the ia
nous characters of Sir Lucius O'Trig-
ger and Bob Acres is one that will
doubtless be eagerly seized There is
great interest in this engagement,
as they come heralded as able expo
nents of the characters. The support
ing company may be termed as an
''all-star" one, inasmuch as the prin-
cipal members thereof have always
appeared in this comedy during the
late Mr.. Joseph Jeffersons tours. The
comedy will be mounted exquisitely
with beautiful scenery and the cos
tunes, and the appointments will be
accurate. The supporting company
includes Messrs. John Jack, Arthur
Stanford, Richard Lyle, Harry Odlin,
and the Misses Rosa Rand, and
Blanche Bender.
The Eternal City.

enjoyed a run of prosperity rarely or
never before accorded to any produce

that is without parallel in the Amer
lean drama. No play what was not
really and truly great could have
achieved such results, and no one who
sees the play and magnificent produc-
ton with Miss Jane Remark in the
leading role can for a moment doubt
its greatness.

Norfolk, Va, Sept 22.-At last the
South has an "Uncle Toms Cabin of
it's own. This was the verdict render
ed enthusiastically tonight by the Nor
folk audience in the Academy of
Music at the first presentation on any
stage of Thomas Dixon Jr's THE
Clansman,' under the management
George II. Brennan
Never in the history Of Norfolk has
a more delighted gathering assembled
in the local theatre. The striking situa-
ton of the production followed each
other SO fast that the audience re-
manned Spellbound throughout the
performance, except when forced to
relieve the tension with loud outbursts
of applause. There were curtain calls
without number and at the conclusion
of the third act the author, Mr. Dixon,
was compelled to make a speech.
Among other things he declared his
intention of manifesting his deep
personal interest in the play by ac-
companying it on the Southern tour
The various personages in the large
cast of THE Clansman' were inter-
preted by stage artists of exceptional
ability, several of whom have Ma
tional reputation In addition to the
speaking parts there was small army
of supernumeraries and several horses.
The latter added greatly to the spir-
tied effectiveness of the ku kluX Khan
scenes.
The engagement in Norfolk is for
two nights and a matinee and before
the curtain rang up tonight every seat
for all the performances had been sold.
| This is the record business for Norfolk,
land it will be duplicated when THE
Clansman" returns after it's New York
run. It was freely predicted in the
audience tonight that THE Clansman"
is destined 10 equal the half century
! life Of Uncle Toms Cabin" to which
Mr.. DiXon's play is complete an
swer
Unquestionably it marks an epoch in
! the theatrical history of the South,
| for it is the first play which has sue
ceeded in doing justice to the white
| side Of the race question. If the re-
! ception in Norfolk is a criterion. the
| tour in the Southern cities viii be
nothing short of triumphal journey
and capacity business win be the rule
! without exception.
| "The Clansman" is to appear in
| Raleigh on Wednesday, the fourth of
| October, and there win be matinee
and night performances. Already
| there is talk of large theatre parties
| here for the performances. Many pco-
pie are coming from Il distance, and
it is evident that there is to be only
standing room. if even that does not

WE NEED THE PARCEL POST.

The Commercial Advertiser does not
like Truths advocacy of a parcel
post Incidentally it may be stated that
the Advertiser is in line with Tom
Plat, the "easy boss" of New York
state politics and the president of one
of the powerful express companies.
Incidentally it may be stated that the
Advertiser has with 1t all the officials
O: the great express companies; it has
with it the traffic managers of the rail
roads; the general freight agents etc.
Anything that tends to cheaper the
cost of transportation to the consul
mer is opposed by this class of people.
The banks didn't like the post office
money order either, because 1t depriv-
ed them of their rates of exchange
on drafts and checks, and, by the way
the money order department of the
express companies had small kick
coming. The Advertiser is certainly
travelling in good company.
John Wanamaker endeavored, when
he was at the head of the postoffice de-
partment. to establish a parcel post.
He had the record of England, Bel
GUM, Switzerland, Germany behind
him. But Plat got in his work ana
the measure, or plan failed. Because
of the influence welded by this sin
lister old party, (Platt,) the post office
department of this nation lags behind
Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1905-05-31

that of other great nations of
the earth. The combination of ex-
press and railway magnates has been
sufficient to block any attempt at pro-
gress and these mammoth corpora
lions find willing allies and pliable
tools in the shape of trade organs like
the Advertiser.
The Advertiser declares the postal
service has a deficit, as the matter
now stands. Granted Does the Adver-
tiser know the reason? If it does not
we point to the report of the postmast-
err general of the first Mckinley adj
ministration, in which it was stated
in effect that dead government matter
was the principal cause. That had
each department using the mails free
been charged as were private citizens,
then the postal department would have
been nearly self sustaining.
We can see nothing in the argument
advanced by the Advertiser that the
Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1905-05-31

public has to pay the deficit. Who
else? And if parcel postage reduces
the cost of commodities to the con-
sumner, the consumer, which is the pub
lie, will have the money to pay said
deficit. Under the present system the
consumer is being fieeced until he can
not rest. So far as raise in the
postage rates of Truth is concerned,
Truth believes the reduction in the
cost of what the editor eats and what
he wears would enable any increase
in rates on the publication to be paid
with ease and have small balance
left.
If a parcel post will reduce the cost
of transportation on commodities car
ried by mail we cannot see why freight
rates would not be cut accordingly.
When the mails compete with Mr..
Platts express company's prices, Mr..
Platts express company will meet the
reduction or go out of business. That
Is all there is to it. We have been
told and told again by such organs as
the Advertiser that combination and
the adjustment of competition meant
steady and reasonable prices. But
the fellow who does the buying knows
better. because he has the bills to
pay. We state without fear of sue
cessful contradiction, and we direct
the attention of the Advertiser to the
daily market reports for proof, that
the cost of living is too high.
We are asking for relief for the peo-

pie and if a parcel post will enable us
to get it, we want it. 1t has been
successfully tried in other countries
and business moves along just the
same. Nor are the retailers put out
of business by parcels post. On the
contrary the retailer is assisted by
it, for rates on railroads are reduced
so that he is enabled to compete with
his neighbor at a distance.
The Advertiser has the mail order
house" bugaboo and is frightened at
shadow.
Truth believes the parcel post is
coming and will welcome the day when
it is established. Other civilized coun-
tries have parcels post and the United
States is far behind the times in this
respect.

PERRY HEATH IN TOWN.

Our esteemed friend and fellow
townsman, Perry Heath-don't say
you do not remember him; of course
you do; the fellow who used to be on
the Washington payroll as a stable
boy; the man who was in the post
office with Machen; Old Statute OF
Limitations Perry-was in the city
Monday after having returned from
journey to Africa and other points OF
interest. During his stay in Africa
Mr.. Heath saw the pyramids. They
are still in Africa Mr.. Heath did not
bring them back with him. 1t must
be remembered that the pyramids are
made of stone blocks weighing many
tons each. He also saw the Sphynx.
It is also heavy, and remains where
it was when seen by Mr.. Heath. Be
sides, it must be remembered that
Mr. Heath was resting.
Immediately upon his return to this
city Mr.. Heath was interviewed. This
is the first time his name has been in
the papers since he went away. For,
during his vacation, Mr.. Heath did not
want to be interviewed. The report
ers respected his wishes, and let him
alone. He didn't have anything to
say, anyway. In his talk with the To-
cal reporter, Mr.. Heath limited mys-
teriously at some dark secret which
he and Tom Kearns have in common
together. which said hint has caused
a great deal of comment among local
newspaper men. Some declare that
Perry is coming back to the Tribune
to supplant Colonel Nelson; others
incline to the belief that Joe Lippman
is going away on July /, and that
Perry will take his place, while still
others maintain that Kearns Is gong
to stake him to weekly at Las
Vegas.
Be It as it may, Perry has gone
down over the Los Angeles line, and
at this writing is doubtless dipping his
frame i'm the brine out Catalina Island
way.
He reports having had a good time
while in Cairo and declares that Var
Horn is the only pebble on the beach
in the Court of First Instance. He
took dinner with Van and took a ride
with him. We infer from this thai
Van hadn't anything else loose.
Mr.. Heath will return in some days
and will either stay here to look at
ter his large property interests or de
something else.

those accustomed to eating too much
of that staple article of diet, and are
fond of it, but it is said that little
self-denial will prove that the effort is
worth a trial. Do not stop it all at
