AVENUE STOCK PLAYERS
MAKE GOOD IMPRESSION

Another appreciative audience greet
ed the Conncss and Edwards Stock
Company at the Avenue Theatre last
night when "The Liars" was again
presented. Tho company again made a
favorable impression, and, OF course,
the play itself held its own, for it Is
one OF the best OF satirical comedies.
The performance last night was even
smoother than on the opening night,
for no matter how seasoned an actor
may be, he is always a trifio nervous
on an opening night. Last night all
that had disappeared, and the different
members OF the organization were as
much at home as though they had
been playing together for months.
This afternoon the first matinee will
be given and there viii also be ma

answer 10 the petition Of Mrs. Mary isa-
be4a Williams. IN which she asks tho
court TO order the residud Of the estate Of
Mr.. Jones. amounting to about 100000.
paid to her.
Her petition alleged that she had been
adopted by Mr.. Jones because the death
of his infant daughter affected his wife
so much that It was feared she would
lose her mind unless another was secured,
and that Mr.. Jones agreed TO leave the
child all his estate after his wife was
provided for Instead Of this she alleges
she was left but one-ffth Of the residue
OF the estate after his second wife. who
survived him, had been left 100000.
The executors deny that there was any
agreement except to clothe. care for and
educate tho child. now Mrs. Williams.
They ask the chancellor to dismiss the
bill and assess the costs on the complain
ant
About two months ago, Mrs. Williams,
who was Mary Isabella Way, OF Phia
dolphia. brought suit TO recover the resi-
due OF the estate OF Mr.. Jones, by whom
she had been adopted. The estate, after
the provision for the widow was paid,
amounted to moro than $4,000, according
to the statements made IN her bill Of COM
plant. suudry other bequests were made
by Jones in his will, and in the two
codicns attached, and, instead of leaving
Mrs. williams his entire estate, less the
Widows share, he left her one-fifth OF
the residue after that and numerous other
beouests had been made.
Mrs. Williams, who IS the wife Of a

At Delaware City last evening Mrs.
Leonora NJ. Lake spoke to a crowd that
was limited only by the capacity Of Null
ligan's Hail. Alluding to the letter pub
llshed in THE EVENING JOURNAL
yesterday In which William J. Hogan
claimed that prohibition had increased
crime in Sussex county and requested OF
her an explanation. Mrs. Lake said
Il don't know who Mr.. Hogan Is. but
judging from his name, he must be a
sort Of a left-handed countryman Of mine.
But Br. Hogan has no right to demand
information from me about tho amount
Of crime IN Sussex county. If he wants
information on the subject why doesn't
he write TO the sheriff OF that county, who
IS tho best authority on the subject.
Il win say to Mr.. Hoean," Mrs. Lake
continued. that Il takes seven years to
4 make a drunkard. II takes several years
TO teach man any useful trade and it
takes just as long to make drunkard
Of him. Add to this the men who are born
with criminal tendencies on account OF
their fathers being addicted TO the drink
habit and you VIII understand that it
takes longer than a year and haif TO
stamp out the criminal tendencies that
the saloon has been years IN producing.
MANY counties in Kansas have gone
/ for years without sending one criminal to
states prison"
In an open air speech which preceded
Mrs Lakes address in Mulligan's Hail.
the Rev. John nj. Arters also answered
Mr.. Hogan's letter by quoting from lot
ter written by a Sussex county official
under dnto Of September 10.
Upon the authority Of this letter. and Of
/ other correspondence and testimony in
his possession, Mr.. Arters said that there
were 81 instead Of 81 prisoners in the Sus-
sex jail.
''Five Of these were arrested on charges
Of selling whlskey," said Mr.. Arters, and
rs Of them are from the town Of seaford,
mostly tramps. some Of them arrested by
railroad detectives; some OF them belong.
ing to a large floating element Of whites
and negroes who have come into seaforC
from Virginia and Maryland, TO work IL
the cannery."
The letter from which Mr.. Arters quot
cd, closed as follows; From our crow,

'In Kent county" said Air. Arters. "th

Little Talks
on Advertising

q There is some point about every line OF
merchandise that is of interest. If YOU cannot
find this for yourself, and YOU can afford it. let
some advertising find it for you. Let him
get YOU the publicity you must have to succeed.
That's his business.
q Newspaper space is valuable. And il you
are going to use any amount of it, il will pay
YOU to have someone write your advertising.
1t docs not necessarily follow that an advertising
man will write your business better than you
can do it yourself, but if you are going to write
it yourself, find out what constitutes profitable
advertising. You spend a lot of time training
statesmen for work behind the counter. Just
consider your advertising as statesmen on the
outside.
q Big concerns realize this.
q The Wilmington Gas Company. in ono Of
their circulars, say "It costs money to advertise
but we consider it absolutely necessary to keep
our customers and the public informed Of what
we are doing"
q Lippineott & Co. had an ad in last weeks
local papers that covered approximately two
pages OF the Friday night and Saturday editions
Inc three papers were read bv approSimatelv
100000 persons 1t was attractiveiv gotten up
and by the use OF headings and illustrations ore
Sented a good appearance. Mr. T. II Horner
me advertising manager, figured that between
1900 and 10000 persons visited the store ON
Saturday as direct result of advertising
q Now Just because the big fellows can afford
large ad, do not get the idea that your small
ad IS not going TO do you good The same
people see your ad, but you must make IN the
difference IN size by attractiveness. This is
where the advertising man comes in, If vou are
too busy TO devote your time to the preparation
