cause there were not enough wives for
all. By mutual agreement several men
had exchanged wives. In other cases
women had chosen other partners, and
the changes were made seemingly to
the advantage of all, for no regrets
were expressed.
There was an average of three fat,
clever children for each family, the
youngest, as a rule, resting in a pocket
on the mothers back.
Dwellings of the Eskimos.
The tent had a raised platform upon
which all slept. The edge of this made
a seat, and ON each side were placed
stone lamps, in which blubber was
burned, with moss as a wick. Over
this was a drying rack, and there was
other furniture.
On board the yacht there had been
busy days of barter. Furs and ivory
had been gathered in heaps in eX-
change for guns, knives and needles
Every seaman from cabin boy to cap
tain had suddenly got rich in the gam
BILE of trade for priced blue fox skins
and narwhal tusks.
The Eskimos were equally elated
with their end of the bargain. For a
beautiful foxskin of less use to a ma
tive than a dog pelt he has secured a
pocket knife that would serve him halt
a lifetime.
A woman had exchanged her fuI
pants. worth a hundred dollars, for q
red pocket handkerchief, with which
she would decorate her head and igloc
for years to come.
The midnight tide lifted the yacht or
an even keel from her makeshift dry
dock on the beach, and she vas pulled

out into the bay and anchored for a
few hours. Oomanooi was but one OF
six villages in which the tribe had di-
vided its $50 people for the current
season.
To study the people, to further n
courage the game of barter and to en-
joy the rare sport of yachting and
hunting in mans n%orthernmost haunts
we prepared to visit as many villages
as possible.
: In the morning the anchor was rails
ed, and the yacht set sail to a light
wind headed for more northern vii
lagos.
Ducks were secured in abundance.
Seals were given chase, but they Were
able to escape our craft. Nearins
Saunders island a herd of walrus was
seen on a pan of drift ice far ahead
of the yacht.
Two with splendid tusks were oh
tanned, and two tons of meat bldJbel
were turned over TO our Eskimo al
lies.
An Eskimo Widows Story.
Among the Eskimo passengers pac-
ing the deck vas Il widow, who, in
tears, told us the story of her life-a
story which offered a peep into the
comedy and tragedy of Eskimo exist
ence. She had arranged n den under
a shelter of sealskins among the an
Choir chains. We had offered her a
large bed. with straw in it, and a
place between decks as a better nest
for her brood of youngsters, but she
refused, saying she preferred the open
air on deck.
She had come from American shores.
and, as a foreign belle, her hand was
sought early. At thirteen Ikwa intro
duced her to a welded life not strewn
with blubber. He was cruel and not
always truthful.
Two girls graced their home. One
was now married. When the young
est was out of her hood, Ikwa took
the children and invited her to leave,
saying that he had taken to wife
Ahtah, a plump maid and a good
seamstress.
Nance had neither advantage, but
she knew something of human nature,
and soon found another husband, a
good deal older, but better than the
first. Their life was a hard one, for
Nordingwah was not a good hunter,
but their home was ~peaceable, quiet
and happy. Two children enlivened

yacht, a boy Of eight, the only deaf

''DIVORCONS" AND
THE VIOLIN MAKER

At the Avenue Theatre this week sar-
dou's "Divorcons" will hold the boards
II is a clever comedy, as all Sardous COM
edies are The story Is that of young
French girl who comes to believe that
she has married the wrong man. The
truth develops in tho course OF the play
that she IS really in love with her hus-
band. and she finds it out Just as she
comes near losing him.
There is a cousin with whom she faneles
herself in love- and the wise husband
agrees 20 let her get a divorce IN order
that she may marry the cousin. II is
around this state of affairs that the play
wright has evolved a half-dozen comic
situations and the play IS well worth see
ing.

SPLENDID BILL
OF VAUDEVILLE
Henry Lee And Other Big
Feature Acts at the Grand
Opera House

Having from time to time both surprised
and pleased the people by offering stars
Of considerable magnitude at prices un-
heard OF before, the Bijou Circuit Com
pany appears to have gone step fur
Their in the bill to open to-day by offer
ing bright, particular star In company
with q number Of other feature acts with
out increasing the price Of admission.
The particular star is, Of course. Henry
Lee.
Mr.. Lee gives a masterful impersona-
tion Of great men Of the past and the
present These impersonations are al
ways dignifed, true TO nature in carriage.
in voice and in facial appearance. Among
those whom he will represent at the opera
House this week win be Cook and Peary.
There is no caricature, no adding to nor
taking from appearance but an artistic
living picture Of the subject. Men Of the
past appear TO stand before the audience
as Mr.. Lee gives his impersonauons and
the student Of history can learn much Of
tho appearance Of characters famous in
history. 1t was certainly a master stroke
when the Bijou Circuit Company secured
this artist 10 appear here.
II is evident that the Opera House man
agement has gone TO considerable work
10 make up o program where the head
liner will not outshine the others and IL
appears 10 have succeeded creditably.
Gardner and Stoddard, featured second
to no other artists in their line, are an
nounced to appear in Vaudeville Frivo-
llties." They come to Wilmington direct
from the American Music Hall, New
York city where they played last week to
one dollar admissions. Mr.. Gardner IS
clever with various musical instruments
and Miss Stoddard Is an exceptionally
bright coincidence She makes many
changes Of costumes and completes her
act with some character work equal TO
isis Hopkins" which is uproariously
funny. These two sing and dance and give
the widest variety Of vaudeville possible
in the time they are seen on the stage.
Gardner and stoddard have established
the best kind Of reputation for work
that pleases all lovers Of vaudeville.
Devine and Williams. another we'll
known act in "The Travelling Salesman
and tho Female Drummer" will offer a
pretty playlet in which wit humor and
pathos are all mixed in Just the right pro-
portion to make II enjoyable and to make
It real dramatic offering. It IS a twenty
minutes scream OF laughter into which
creeps enough pathos to make one step
for a moent and think.
Salmo and Sonia THE Russian Peas
ants" will offer something which is a new
idea in comedy pantomine and scrobatics.
They have tho reputation of being un-
usually capable performers.
Mile Paula offers some novel ideas in a
trapeze act. This will be the first act OF
tho kind to be presented here this sea-
son.
It is promised that the new motion pic
lures viii be Of interesting subjects and
they will be projected in the usually ex-
cellent Opera House style.

FINANCIAL & COMNERCIAL

Between this time and the end OF the
calendar year, Chicago. Milwaukee and
ST. Paul will Issue at least $1,000, 600 more
OF its bonds, probably per cent de-
benturee. The proceeds win be used to
refund old Issues, which mature Janu-
ary 1st, 1910.
Agencies closely connected with Nor
gan channels OF information continue to
reflect optimism. The big deals on hand
by the Morgan party preclue any bearish
stand or a stand that would permit the
market to be beaten down alarmingly.

opinion. We look for no Increase In the
