Sergeant Kitty" a Clever Musical
Comedy. PLAYS to Empty Seats.

COMEDY, Plays to Empty Seats.
A distressingly small audience wit
messed a pleasing and clever perfor-
nance of the musical comedy, Ser
geant Kitty with Miss Helen Byron
in the leading feminine role at the Odeon
Friday evening. Miss Byron and com :
pany deserved better patronage, for
there is much merit in the plot lines
and music of this so-called military
comic opera. With better soloists the
play would have scored big hit. AL
tho the plot was slow in developing
1t furnished great many humorous
and comical situations after it had been

of Marion Langdon, as Nine. Angel !.
que, kitties aunt and James NICE. :
hern, as Captain Jarques Jonquiniere,
was in places extremely funny. Miss
Langdon is most capable woman for
her difficult part.
Miss Byron. while good in some re-
spects, was disappointing in others, and
altho pretty and vivacious she has not
a good voice, which is serious hand
leap. The best solo voices in the cast,
were those of Carrick Major who took
the part of General Dubois; Charles
Fulton, who played Lieutenant Lucien
Valliere. and Miss Ferol Desmond, cast
as Louise DeMerrilac. The company
has a good chorus, and the piece is
staged and prettily dressed.

Wise deception is believed to have
prolonged Mr.. Jones life many years.
Sixteen years ago Mr.. Jones Wife

firmly convinced that his life would
end on the anniversary OF her death.
AS the day approached he became visi-

Cold Stimulates Trade.

New York. Dec S-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Colder weather, combined with the
approach of holidays. has greatly
stimulated retail trade at most points,
and the outlook favors record break
ing Christmas trade. In jobbing and
wholesale lines inventorying is about
due but it is noteworthy that trade
is more ordinary ard brisk for De-
cember. Manufacturers are busy the
country over, the pressure being so
great as to cause considerable num-
Labor still continues scarce, and wage
advances are recorded generally.
Money is very high in the cities
where the demand is extensive. but
most interior towns appear to be plen-
tifully supplied, hence country bankers
are seeking commercial paper. 1t is
significant that currency is slow to
return from the interior. Collections
are good, all things considered. All in
all, the situation is very favorable ex-
cept in the south Atlantic states, where
crop returns have been poor, and in
the northwest where grain deliveries
are backward in Some sections SO to

Supplies of pig iron are smaller than

liveries by the railways has caused
some foundrymen to close down, and

able.
New business in steel rails is fair,
and while demand for structural ma
terial is not active as earlier in the
season, some good sized orders are in
sight Copper is firm for shipment and
future delivery, some choice grades be-
ing quoted as high as 23c q pound.
In cotton goods the strength of

WILL FEED THE POOR.
Salvation Army Will Spread Dinner TO
the Needy Christmas Day.

The local branch of the Salvation
Army is preparing to feed as many of
the poor as possible Christmas day.
Dinner will be served free to as many
as possible, and in addition the army
will have Christmas tree, to be COW
cred with presents for the poor chill
dren of the city.
To do both of these things the local
branch needs the help of all charitable
persons. A report of the work done
by the Salvation Army in this city dur
ing the six months from July to No
vember 1 of this year, furnishes some
interesting statistics. The total in
come for the six months has been
