drama.
1t would seem to be absurd to argue that there
IS not sufficient patronage in city of the size
Of Wilmington to support theatre that pre-
sents this kind of play The audiences at the
Avenue, while they have not been very large
have been steadily increasing. That the house
is not well-hlled at every performance is Ne
believe, owing to the fact that the people have
not yet fully realized what this company is, and
what it is trying to do We think that the
words the posters that "a company of play
ers Wilmington will be proud off, not an
eNaggeration. If the actors and actresses, COM
posing the company continue well as they
have DONE we believe the city ought to be proud
OF them
The members of the company have come to
Wilmington as strangers. They propose to re-
main here indefinitely and TO give the amuse-
ment lovers of the city opportunity to show
their appreciation of conscientious efforts. Many
a person will go to Philadelphia and pay high
figure to see a performance that does not sur
pass, if indeed it equals that presented at the
Avenue.
Play goers might as we'll realize that if this
company is not literally supported there is lit
tie probability that Wimngtonians will have
much opportunity to witness regular drama
during the present season. Managers OF thea
tres are human and they present forms OF
amusement for which there is public demand.
AS we have said, two of our theatres are cater
ing to those who like vaudeville performance
and they doing very well. Thousands OF
dollars have been spent in improving the Gar
rick and the Opera House and we doubt wheth-
any other city has two better theatres of the
kind than these They are up to modern de-
mands
The Avenue is however in an entirely diff
ferent field. and we are at a loss TO understand
why the people of this city have net more eager
iy seized the opportunity presented to them 70
see such plays. We have no doubt however,
that the company will be adequately supported
by the public before very long. 1t is well for
the players to understand that those who have
seen their performances so far given, have moth
ing but words of commendaton and congratua-
ton. and this should stir them to their best eff
forts in the hope-and not a faint hope at that
that before the present season is well un-
der way seats at the Avenue will be in great
demand.

HEAVY EXPENSE OF CANAL.

dE estimate of money necessary to con-
y tinue the construction of the Panama
Canal in the fiscal year 1911 is $4S,o63,524, ac-
cording to a report Of the commission forwarded
today to the Secretary Of War.
This is by far the largest amount asked for
Tor any year since the beginning of the con-
struction. This is more than SI2oooooo larg-
er than the estimate for 1910. and $I5,ooo,ooo
more than for the estimate for 1909. OF the
trial amount $Is,5ooooo will be for skilled and
unskuied labor and S2ooooooo Tor the purchase
and delivery Of supplies.
he large increase Is probably accounted for
by the fact that the canal construction is now
in its second stage OF development and much
material and labor arc required for lock and dam
construction and in preparing for work of this
kind. The entire amount that has been appro-
priated for the canal to date is S21o,oIo,46S.

This hotel was the center OF an ex-

II occurred during one of the outbursts
OF loyal enthusiasm over~a victory for
the Union army in V.rginia--probably
the fall Of Richmond. Emanating,
possibly, from the Provost Marshalrs
Office, at Third and Market streets.
came a proposition for a general show
OF flags. There were some folks in this
city then, that did not vIsibly eathuse
over Union victories; and It is needless
to say that the proposal for a show
of colors was aimed at them.
"The Queen" under Benjamin Pierce
I think he was the landlord at that
time, was not loyal headquarters There
was a big flagpole standing on the roof,
but no one remembered having seen
the Union flag floating from it, and
the crowd that had grown to what
then seemed to be riotous dimension
and character. decided 70 leave a flag
on that flag pole The landlords ex-
cuse for not displaying his colors. was
that he had no flag. That confession,
at that time, was sufficient to put him
in the suspect class and it was at once
determined to put a flag on that pole
DIR. w. w. Thomas, who lived on East
Fifth street, just opposite the hotel
was displaying beautiful new silk

roof of the hotel. The pole was taken
down, the new halyard rove and raised
again. Then "Old Glory" flew out ovei
that hotel roof amid the cheers OF q
