BIG AUDIENCES
AT OPERA HOUSE

n there was ever any doubt about tho
people Of Wilmington enjoying good
vaudeville IT, was dispened on Monday
night and last night when the Grand
opera House was filled TO capacity At
practically every performance so far this
week the theatre has been crowded and
on several occasions was simply packed
and people stood during q portion OF tho
first show In hope Of getting seats at tho
second. Not only was tho attendance an
indication that tho people OF this city like
vaudeville but It was also an indication
that tho Harris Amusement Company
made a popular move when It inaugurated
the system Of offering a bin Of good
vaudeville FOR ten cents for any seat.
Surprises often count for much on g.
vaudeville program and it is believed that
Guy Bates and Company who are offering
"A Henpecked Husband" had this in view
when they selected the title for tho clever
little comedy which they are offering. The
henpecked husband has been subject for
Jest for a good many years. but Mr. Bates
has treated the subject in an entirely DIFF
ferent way from that in which it has been
handled before Taken altogether. MI
Bates has managed TO get a delight fully
bright and clever comedy for his audi
ences and has also selected a company
which IS perfectly capable Of bringing out
tho wit and humor OF the piece.
Those who like music will be anxious TO
see the bill which closes this evening for
in three OF the acts there Is excellent
music aud of different kinds. Stewart Col
lins and His Banjo Girls give an oxcep-
ionally enjoyable entertainment. Miss
Lillian Maynard Is a decidedly entertain
ing vocalist and Ladell and Ward sing
parodies and comic songs in acceptable
style. While Wing and Rubie do a number
OF clever acrobatic stunts and contribute
their full share Of the entertainment.

BEER GOOD
AFTER MANY YEARS

That the good beer such as was
made a quarter of century ago would
keep indefinitely has been demonstrat-
ed by Allen Kemmerer. OF Coopersburg,
says the philadelphia Record. Owing
to the drought Kemmerer a few days
ago had a new pump installed I'm a
we'll that had been long abandoned.
Workmen cleaning out the we'll found
six bottles Of beer. Investigation
showed that the beer had been let
down into the we'll by Frank X Haring
twenyt-four years ago.
Ice was scarce I'm those days and It
was customary to cool the beer in this
way. Tho cord that held the beer had
broken and the bottles had been given
up as lost When found they were
all tightly corlSed and the beer was
"lively" and excellent.

Needs Answer

viii James j. Jeffries and Jack
Johnson fight for the championship In
Utah or California;
This question Is being asked wher-
ever pugliism IS talked or thought OF.
but the answer is not forthcoming.
and the fans of the country believe it
is time the promoters, Tex Richard ana
Jack Gleason, gave them some definite
information on the subject. Rickard
firmly declares he win hold the night
in salt Lake city on the scheduled
date. July 4, despite the fact GOV Spry
OF Utah has just as firmly announced
ne will not permit 1t 20 take place I'm
his state. Gleason says the fight will
be held IN California. probably at Ala
media, not far from San Francisco.
There the matter stands.
Il Is said ON good authority that
there is no friction between Rickard
and Gleason, but the fact they are
not pulling together would seem 10
Indicate they are nowhere near smooth
sailing and that a break in relation
ship IS likely at any time. Both pro-
mOters are known TO be on friendly
terms with Jeffries. and Il Is believed
that the same Is true as regards john
son. Rickard has announced that n
he fails TO make good In staging the
fight in Salt Lake he will forfeit tho
$iOf.OOO purse 10 the pugilists. In this
he win lose nothing personally unless
hc puts up the money.
Gleason says he will take over the
contract and hold the hght at Ala
media. Gleason has the 'pull' In the
Golden state, and particularly in Sar
Francisco. while Rickard Is said 10

Goin1 TOO Far.

Jerome S. McWade, the Duluth mil
Honaire, is a strong advocate of gov
ernmcntal savings banks. Mr.. Nc
Wade in a recent address, said:
The bankers tell us that they op'
pose these postal savings banks be-
cause they are afraid the govern
ment won't be capable CT handling
the peoples money.
And at the same time, though the
people haven't said word. the bank
ers admit that they haven't given
the people proper savings bank IA
cilities, and they beg for chance to
reform. Dear me!
THE people haven't said a word,
but the bankers are bubbling over
with self-accusations. They are
thought readers. They remind me OF
Hal Saunders.
Hal, a worthless rascal, was in
he habit of staying at the corner
saloon till or 2 o'clock in the morn
ing. One morning it was quite 3
O'Clock when he returned. His pa
tent wife, who always sat up for
him, received him in silence. Never
theless the drunken scoundrel gave
her an unme, ciful beating.
"She naturally protested against
such treatment when she had made
no complaint, but her brute of a hus.
band roared, shaking his fist in her
face:
"'No, you said nothing-thats
true enough--but you're thinking
fool, you are,' Washington Star.

zuicho Tachibana, japanese only
=, rears of age, has completed a
..rrney across Central Asia of some
: mn miles. Mr.. Tachibana is sec.
,etary to Count Otani, the head alb
.ot of the Shinshu sect Of Buddhists,
.ho nrovided the equipment for the
,,urney. which was undertaken spec
;slly with a view to visiting the an
.;ent sites of Central Asia and where
nossible making excavations.
Leaving Japan in the spring OF 1908,
Mr. Tachibana first made some IN
,estigations among the islands of
lake Tung Ting, in Human. After
crossing the Cobb Desert he went to
Karakorum and thence to Gutchen, in
Chinese Turkestan, 800 miles distant.
There he obtained some important
finds from an ancient fort. Among
other things he unearthed a number
of ancient tiles with chrysanthemum
decorations, find particularly inter
esting to a japanese. These tiles dat
ed from the seventeenth century.
At Turfan, further to the south, he
visited a large number Of ancient
Buddhist caved wellings. The neigh
borhood was very sparsely inhabited.
In exploring these caves, which be-
longed to the sixth century, but were
all destroyed by the Mohammedans
in the fourteenth century, some very
valuable manuscripts We're found.
Soon after this Mr.. Tachibana sent
his assistant with all the baggage to
Kashgar, while he proceeded to the
southeast to explore the Lob Desert,
parts of which he crossed by a new
route. There he had some of his
worst experiences owing to the alb
sence of water. the prevalence of
terrific wind and a burning sun. The
heat was in places 100 in the shade,
and at Keria he had sunstroke.
In the Tarim Desert he passed
through desolate region, where the
course of a river was lost amid the
sand and the i'll dscape was marked
by blasted tree trunks and ruined
dwellings,.
The journey. which was chiefly
through desert and mountain, was
rich in results. The traveller has
brought back with him over 1000
and a magnificent col
lection of ancient coins.-Sun.

MODERN BALLOONS.
Gas Bags Made Of Cotton Coated
With Rubber.

WIN HU00ST.
The gas bags of modern balloons are
made Of a cotton fabric coated with
India rubber in the most careful man.
ner, in order to assure perfect imper-
. meablity without sacrificing lightness.
For all large balloons, and especially
for dirigibles, two layers of cloth are
superposed and cemented together.
The outer skin is covered with India
rubber on one side only, but the inner
skin is coated on both sides. In Ger
man balloons the inner canvas Is cut
straight and the outer canvas is cut
bias. In this constructed cores with
angles Of 45 degrees are used and the
seams are covered, which causes q
slight increase in weight. French
balloon makers prefer to cut both can
vases straight. Experiments show
that the tensile strength of the en-.
velopes thus made is approximately
equal in all directions. Each method
OF construction has it's advantages and
Its defects, says the Scientific Ameri.
can. As India rubber, even when vul-
canized, is altered by exposure to
light, the canvas is colored yellow in
order to arrest the violet and ultra
violet rays, which are the most &C.
tive. The pigment used in France is
cnromate of lead, which unfortunately
must be applied to the canvas before
II is coated with rubber, and which
consequently prevents the vulcaniza-
uon OF the rubber, because the chro-
mate OF lead is blackened by heat.
Flcrlc acid is free from this objection,
Out Its employment is too dangerous.
