Academy Of Music Makes a Big Offer
ing at Popular Prices Commence
ing Tomorrow Night
Commencing tomorrow night the
Academy will offer the best thing it
has ever offered in the way of pop
ular price attraction. In fact, it
will be the equal of many high price
ones, and theatre-goers will, no
doubt, revel in the pleasure to be af-
forded them at such small cost. The
attraction will be the well known
Colonial Opera Company, which will
present with special scenery and
elaborate electrical effects popular
operas of the day. The opening per-
formance tomorrow night will be
that jolly whirl, "A Trip to India"
and a cast of twenty-five, including
Miss Juanita Rush and the noted
Trocadere Quartet, will be seen IN
the merry, tuneful, pretty musical
creation. Following this production
will come FRA Diavolo," s'Chimes
of Normandy" and "Pinafore," the
latter being the matinee offering
Wednesday.
The company played Friday and
last nights in New Bern and yester-
days New Bern Journal paid the
organization this high tribute:
THE New Colonial Opera compa-
ny gave the old opera of Fra Diavolo,
! last night, and there has been moth
ing on the stage this season to COM
pare with it The singing parts were
admirably presented by all the com
pany. The work of the male quar-
tet was especially fine and their ap-
pearance between. the acts was the
source Of repeated encores. In fact
it was hard for the people to lei

The leading lady, Miss Juanite

QUICK WARSHiP BUILDING.
japanese Complete a Cruiser in Six
Months


The Jap naval office is congratulat-
ing itself and the vernacular ples of
the empire is filled with praise ovex
the feat recently accomplished Of
launching the first-class aImored
cruiser Ibuki from the government
shipbuilding yards at kure within six
months after the laying down of the
keel. Not only the Japanese believe
that they have beaten all previous re-
cords for speed in The construction OF
war vessels of this class, but the 1Oukl
also is unique because of the fact that
from keel to fighting top she was
built entirely Of materials forged and
put together in Japanese government
yards.
Cruiser Ibuki which was launched by
Prince Higashl Fushimi on November
81, is a sister ship to the kuEama.
recently launched at the Yokosuka
yards Her length is 450 feet. beam
75.6 feet. and displacement 1860

officer, and the Curtis turbine, the
Ibuki is expected to develop, 22,500
horse power.
Both the Ibuki and her sister ship,

clal effort was made to rush the chuis-

was not averse to a demonstration of
just how quickly fighting machine
could be turned out by its artisans.

H appears at the present time that
before many months elapse another
bank will have been started III Will
miRgton and while the matter has
mot been definitely decided by the
promoter yet it is thought probable
that the new financial institution
viii be organized.
MIR. w. B. Cooper, who for some
time rumor mas had as the prime
mover for new bank, when seen
yesterday afternoon by a Messenger
reporter shortly after he returned to
the city from an absence of sever al
days, admitted that he had such a
proposition under consideration, his
BROTHER, MIR. Thomas Cooper, Of
Mullins, s. c., being associated with
him. Mr. Cooper stated that there
E~h6 no certainty that the bank would
be started, but that he and his
brother have thought seriously OF
the matter and that, believing that
sent time in this city, they had
about decided that it was an oppor-
hune occasion for the launching of
such an institution.
MIR. Cooper admitted that the lease
he recently obtained on the old Peo-
pies Savings Bank quarters on North
Front street had been taken with the
view of making this the home Of
the new bank if started, but the deal
was closed without any definite de-
s3sion having been reached.

SaRt and without friction, but with
the present development of the City
and Its certain marked growth in
the near future, he believes that the
field is inviting and he would go
into such movement for this Tea-
son alone.
While no details have been con-
sidered at any length, Mr.. Cooper
says his idea in general is to start
a commercial bank with a savings
department, the question as to whe
ther it should be under national or
state control being left undecided
for the present. No effort, he says,
had been made to raise any stock
In this city, although several par
