JAcosWs DAYLIGHT STORE.

Opening Assumes the Proportions Of a
Public Reception at This Store.
Who has not heard Of Jacoby and
his big Daylight Store?" Well, it is
larger and better and brighter to-day
than ever. The spirit OF a progressive
Wilmington Is found lowering about
the Jacoby stores, and the proprietor
and the patrons may well feel proud OF
the fine opening that started to-day.
And the patrons Of this store know a
good thing when they see Il or are told
Of IL. judging from the way they are
visiting this store to-day. The Jacoby
store is at Nos. 224s226 Market street,
and the fall opening, which started to-
day. viii continue until late Saturday
night. but for that matter the store Is
always attractive on other days az
well as during these special times when
the proprietor makes a special effort.
The display this year is revelation
TO the keen buyers Of Wilmington.
Decorated throughout with autumn
leaves. natural flowers. palms, potted
plants and handsome bisque statues,

THE DRAMA.

IT O-NIGHT, at the Grand Opera House. The
i Rivals" Sheridan's celebrated comedy, is
the attraction, and the star players, Joseph and
William w. Jefferson, sons of the late Joseph
Jefferson, of lamented memory. The play and
players deserve, from all the press accounts,
good house. The Rivals has stood the plaques
Of time which, without favor, play sportivey
with the drama and dramatists
"The Rivals, as comedy, has stood alone for
years and it is to-day far above many of the lat
ter-day productions.
Another play that deserves especiai mention is
that Of THE Road to Yesterday" which appears
Thursday night This drama tells story out of
the ordinary, and, judging from the poems in
spred by Miss Duprees acting, which pub
lished in pamphlet form, this play must have des-
tiny behind it. If Resident Manager Johnson, or
his superors, wish good attendance at their play
house, the people will respond but the shows
presented must be good. Wilmington has out
grown the sobriquet of Jay town" and the
people here know good play, good players and
everything else about the drama, and the sooner
Messrs. Nixon & Zimmerman come to realize this
and respect the feelings Of the theatregoers, the
sooner will support be given.

R. ToPKls SONS
Annual Fall Opening Attracted Large
Crowd at this Popular Store.

Now that the fall season has set in,
many Of the women folk are looking
about and visiting the various stores
for autumn and winter wearing ap-
parel, and no greater variety can be
found than in this city.
One Of the most attractive places In
Wilmington for the purchase Of such
goods is the store of r. Topkis Sons,
at No. APO Market street and No. All
King street, who have their opening
to-day, and which will continue until
Saturday. Here may be found every
thing inviting in the line Of millinery,
cloaks and suits for the gentler sex. and
every garment has been selected with
the greatest OF care as to style and
worth by some of the best buyers in the
city.
The millinery department is espe-
cially attractive, as under the super
vision of Mrs. b. G. Wagner, It has
been stocked with the latest creations
in the millinery world. Here may be
found models of Partisan styles of hats
which have been selected from the
stocks carried by the large millinery
stores of New York and Philadelphia.
In fact, everything new IN mats IS
shown and at prices that are within
the reach OF all.
The cloak and suit department also
presents an attractive appearance. as
there are offered all the latest styles at
prices that cannot be eaualled in VIII
mington.
The stores are tastefully decorated
with rustic arches, intertwined in
which are autumn leaves and sprays of
golden rod. This afternoon an orchos-
ira discourses music and the store Is
thronged with friends and customers
Of the proprietors, who are congratulate
ing them upon their efforts 70 give to
Wilmington a store in which the peo-
Pile OF the city may purchase as rea-
sonabIy as they can by visiting phila-
delphia.
Evening journal., 1907-10-02

A number of the leading stores Of
this city are now holding their fall
openings and yesterday these empOT-
iums were crowded from early in the
forenoon until the closing hours at
night. To-day the rush is just as
great. II Is evident that Wilmington
merchants are determined to take
their deserved position IN the front OF
the ranks as the acknowledged leaders
among the business houses of the
cities of the Atlantic Sea coast. The
managers of the various stores are
especially pleased at the crowd of
customers and sightseers. The crisp
fall weather of the past few DAYS has
caused need for fall goods and this
morning the crowd Of shoppers was
larger than any day since the openings
began.
The stock for the fall season shown
in many Of the stores is particularly
good and being displayed in an at
tractive manner viii IN all probability
be sold especially fast. The stocks Of
the furniture and the department
stores and the houses handling mil
linery exclusively are full OF novelties
and new features never put on the
market before this season. The staples
in all lines are shown uD we'll and as
heretofore. all the stores have taken
especial pains to see that the quality
is the highest possible and the price
Just as low as il can be gotten.
If there is one thing for which Will
mington stores have always been
noted it is that they cater to the most
stylish and in every way the most at
ractive lines of millinery In this line
Of goods the fall creations. as ex-
pressed by one woman shopper yes
terday, are perfect dreams" As an
evidence OF the popularity of the Will
mington stores all merchants who
have had formal fall openings report
the largest preliminary sales Of any
season for several years. Following
a plan of constant and truthful ad-
vertising the merchants OF the city
have demonstrated to the buyers that
thew can be as we'll satisfied. and in
some instances. better satisfied. by
buying al homo than they can by visit
ing nearby and larger cities,

MONEY OR sPoRT3

"A N ENDOWMENT of million or so on
\ condition that athletic sports be aban-
doned, is the tempting prize dangled before the
trustees of Swarthmore College. That rich
Philadelphia Friend could not reconcile her con-
vctons with the blare and excitement that ac-
companies intercollegiate athletic contests. Her
conditional gift, which would heavily endow the
college and lift it to a higher rank than it now
enjoys, for the first time puts the question Of
athletics fairly up to the trustees OF the institu
ton.
No doubt many Friends will support the ideas
of Miss Jeanes and will hope that the trustees
accept her conditions. These have always looked
askance at the prominence that sports as we'll
as students clubs and organizations have as
sumed in the life of the once quiet institution in
Delaware county.
But there is a younger element that has been
dominant in Swarthmore affairs. This element
also comprises wealthy young Friends who have
contributed largely TO the support of the college,
and particularly TO the advancement of its attn
leuc interests AS a consequence of their activ-
ity Swarthmore has obtained a higher rank in
athletic circles especially in football than aD-
peared natural for its size and athletic resources.
The question of the anti-athlctic spirit, embodied
in the conditional gift of Miss Jeanes and the ath-
letic sport will be put to the test. Already the
president OF the trustees of the institution inti-
mates that the offer will be rejected that Swarth-
more will prefer football to millions that NIGH.
be expended to advance the cause of real educa.
ton. This will doubtless surprise the stad old
Friends who have considered that the educa-
uonal part OF college is supreme and they will be
unable to reconcile themselves to a new order
which places the supremacy in sports
