Black Patti Trouhadours.

The Black Patti Troubadours," now in the twelfth year of success, will be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre tomor- row matinee and night.
 Black Patti has sung in every capital In Europe and has received numerous decorations from royalty.
 The popularity of this company is pro- verbal. Year after year it tours the coun- try, offering the most unique stage en- tertainment, which is popular with thea ire patrons. The offering this season in- eludes the big comedy and musical hit, Prince Bongaboo," a condensed version of Ihe Bohemian Girl" and fine vau- deVllle bill There are 40 singers, dancers and comedians in the company, which in eludes, in addition to Black Patti, "rut" Whitney, the droll comedian; Marie La Cais, the '"robasco' whrlwind King & Bailey, eccentric comedians; "Queen" Dora, ''The Ladies' Sextette," and others
 "The Holy City"
 ''The Holy City" a play destined to live for many years, will be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre Tuesday after noon and night. The Raleigh News and Observer of October says:
 The play is not an adoption of the Scriptural story. It is the Scriptural story in so far as stagecraft will permit, without alteration or change, and there is given the narrative recorded by the eVengelists. To this is added a story which deals with the love of Salome, daughter of Herodias for Marias, a young Roman, but this is entirely dis tnct and separate from that which tells of the persecution, death and resurrection of the Christ.
 There come and go in the play Caiphas, fontius Pilate, Herod, Herodias, Salomc, John the Baptist, Peter, Andrew, Nico- demus, Judas Iscariot Elizabeth, mother of John; Mary Magdalene and others. The course of the performance takes up the dance of Salome, the death of John the Baptist, his head in q charger, the stonine of Mary Magdaene. the purchase oi Judas for the betrayal, the condemna tlon Of Jesus, the remorse of Judas, and d scene at the door of the sepulchre, be- sides other incidents of the time. The end or the love story is when Salome, by mis-

 For travelling company the perform ance is an especially strong one In th1s the chief characters were all excellent These were Messrs. Charles Clement, Jr, John F. Drorak, J. F. Ilias. l.. D., Kirk, J. II. Hogan, R. c. Mcintyre. J. H. Will liams James c. Mccormick, Pauline A. House. Louise Roberts and Adeline Ram sey.
 The roles are strongly marked and principles in these character parts were most excellent. The settings of the play are ornate. massive and affective, the cos tunes of the rich order of the times de- picted. The audience was deeply inter- ested and the performance is among the best presented that has been seen here.
 Grace George in "Divorcons."
 Grace George direct from her New York and London triumphs, comes to the Jefferson theatre Wednesday night, pre- senting the Margaret Mayo version of Sardous "Divorcons." Advance sale of seats opens tomorrow morning.
 Miss George will appear in the part of
  a role to which she is said to be especially adapted.
 "Divoreons" is a comedy in three acts and though it was written more than 2o years ago. so modern is the theme and so adequately has it been translated that the average theatregoer would think it a product of today. As might be pre- supposed from its title, 'Divorcons" has to do largely with the all absorbing ques- ton of divorce. The chief character Is Cyprienne, a young woman of great beauty, who has married a middle aged genius whose whole time is devoted to inventions and who is somewhat eccen- tric
 In the fullness of time she realizes that she is being more or less neglected and her fancy turns to young officer in the Forestry Department of the government. "Divorcons' might aptly be renamed, "She fell in love with her husband" for that describes the plot of the comedy as we'll as anything could
 The husband allows Cyprienne every latitude and thus it comes about that she. woman like, realizes that there Is little of romance in an affair of this kind,

 An excellent supporting company, in- cluding Frank Worthing and Max Free man, will be with Miss George 1 Mme. Schumann-Heink Seat Sale. The seat sale for the concert of Mime. Schumann- feink, the great contralto, :, who comes to the Jefferson theatre next l Friday night, opens at the Jefferson box 1 office tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. The Schumann-Henk concert in this l city is an event of unusual interest. On the occasion of Schumann Heink' $ reappearance in New York last winter l on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House she sang the role of Fricka in Die l Walkure" This is part which is con- sdered subordinate and somewhat 'un- grateful one, but when undertaken by this wonderful contralto who sings and ,, acts it. says Henry T. Finck, in the New York Evening Post, it assumes an im- portance second to no other. What blessing to have back this singer" he continues flor whom two continents contendyto hear again that glorious, son orous, soulful organ, to watch that eager interest and absorption in her role The
 
 the art more mature and enrapturing."
 When questioned by a reviewer as she was leaving the stage of the Metropolitan that evening, he asked her why she had taken such a role for so an important an appearance, for it was a small one. Schumann-Heink replied: "There are no small parts in Wagner"
 "The Lightning Conductor"
 "'rhe Lightning Conductor" in which Oscar Figman will appear at the Jeffer- son theatre on Saturday afternoon and night, is said to be a comedy full of humor that is bright, quick and vividly set forth. It is an adaptation by. Harry B. Smith from the novel of the same name by c. N. & A. M. Williamson. There are four acts and a lot of things happen in each. In the very beginning there is an automobile breakdown on the road between Paris and Deippe. Molly Randolph, an American heiress, is doing the continent in an automobile. She is accompanied only by her Aunt Mary. an excitable woman who invariably jumps to the wrong conclusions. The very pretty Miss Randolph has been triclxed by an automobile dealer and also ---~----~---------~-

Reading that to prevent cow from

now offer to the public method equally

with the outcome, and you wear thick
cowhide boots, kick her bowels or any

produce the kicks. Usually it is chat

that causes the irritation.
Unless you had seen it in print you
would hardly believe that a rope drawn
over a cows back and under her belly a
little south of her short Ribs, or red
string knotted around her off horn,
would have such sOoting effect. When
the conditions are right cow with a

FITTING OBSERVANCE OF THE IMPRESS
I'VE OCCASION.

As if to atone somewhat for the un-
precedented severity Of our month OF
May, and give suitable setting to the
beautiful memorial ceremony, the weather
clerk modified the semi-Arctic tempera-
ture for few hours on Thursday, and
allowed the sun to give US occasional
smiles through the clouds. 1t was
breezy but not uncomfortable, and a
suitable opportunity was afforded for
the appropriate exercises of the day.
At I AS p. N. the procession formed in
front of Grand Army Hall, with the
Norway Band leading, followed by VIM.
K. Kimball Post, G. A. r. Notwith-
standing the thinning ranks of the
veterans, there were over forty on the
march. They were followed by the
Ladies of the G.. A. R., and they by the
school children in charge of some of the
teachers. The participation of the
school children was not merely nomi-
nal affair, as it has sometimes come
pretty near being, but there were over
hundred of all ages in line, each of them
carrying a flag, and seemingly taking an
intense interest in the occasion.
The procession proceeded to Riverside
Cemetery, where prayer was offered by
Rev. j. W. CHESHIRE, there we're appro-
pirate selections by the Schubert Quar-
tette, and Lincoln's Gettysburg address
was read by Miss Eva E. Walker. The
decoration Of the large number of SOL
diers' graves in the cemetery was then
attended to by the veterans, and for this
ceremony a very pretty innovation was
introduced. During the preliminary
exercises detail of the veterans posted
a school girl bearing a flag at each SOL
dier's grave, and as the post marched
around the cemetery wreath of green
was laid at each of these graves and the
flag was set. Meanwhile the band play
ed dirge, assembled around the grave
of Hannibal c. Howe, former player in
the band.
The decoration completed, the line of
march was taken up to High Street and
Moore Park, past the soldiers monu-
ment, and back to New Hall, which had
been finely decorated with flags and
bunting.

Although the special memorial ad-
dress had been given by Gen. Chamber
lain on the preceding Sunday, the exer-
cises of the day were not without good
addresses, the speakers being Hon.
James S. Wright and Rev. j. W. Ches-
bro. Mr.. Wright spoke eloquently of
the sacrifices made in our civil war, and
the great material and moral progress of
the country which has resulted. Mr..
Chesbro spoke from the lessons of his
tory of the blessings of liberty, and what
it has achieved for this nation in its
short existence, and illustrated the
possibilities of free America by review
of the life and career of Gen. Grant.
A good audience was present at the
exercises, and the observance of the day
here was in general such as the founders
of the institution desired and intended.

in the battle of life, especially if they
rush to the city, thinking that there an
open door always waits for willing
workers. The doors are wide open, but
they are doors leading to ruin. Ia
''What Can She Do?" the author pictures
real life in the great city as it opens its
doors to tina girl who goes there without
friends to meet and guide her. The bat
tie is an unequal one, and full of trouble
and danger for the girl who goes alone
to attempt to win her way where all are
strangers. The value of good home
training is well brought out in the
closing chapters of the book.
