DARING AERIAL FEAT
At THE GARRICK THEATRE

one Of the most daring feats in
aerial work ever seen on a local stage
is being performed by the Lunette
Sisters, or the Geisha Girs. at the Gar
rick Theatre this week. A large steel
tower in the centre of the stage has
two drops. one on either side. Suspend
ed from these drops arc straps, and
taking the straps IN their teeth the
girls are raised high above the stage
and whlrled around at a pace that fair
~ thrills the audience. Three diff
ferent times is this performance gone
through with, each time the pace secm-
ingly faster and faster One cannot
but be impressed with the daring OF
these young women who. practically
twice every day, risk their nerks in a
performance that is about as sensa-
tlonal as anyone would care to look at.
The act comes direct from the New
York Hippodrome.

Financial and Commercial

The character OF the dealing on the
New York Stock Exchanve yesterday
would seem to warrant the opinion that
strong interests have supporting orders
under II and on any reaction Of even
fair proportions investment an dspecula-
tive buying will probably halt the re-
cossion.
f. ID. I.ackey & Co stated this morn
ing; I'VE are advised TO buy such
stocks as Pennsylvania. Chesapeake g.
Ohio, Norfolk & Western Baltimore &
Ohio, Atchison ana M. *. & I. Com
mon In recessions in the railroad group
and Shelters, Copper Steel, Va. Chem
ical and American Cotton OIL on recess
sions. At noon the market was practi-
cally at its best"
G. T. Hudson and Co. stated to-day:
Various reasons are offered 20 explain
the frmness of stocks One OF them is
the belief that the u. $. Supreme Court
viii not hand down a decision next Mon
day in the American Tobacco case. We
do not think that it will; az the same
time. as we approach the time for the
court to reconvene, we do not think the
public will want to buy many stocks.
We would wait for some setback before
buying stocks. Sell on all sharp bulgos.

A Rose.coIornd statement.

Miss Jane Addams, the head of the
Hull house. said at luncheon at the
Chicago Civic club:
I'VE women have still much to tight
for. Our battle will be long and diff
fioult Well let us frankly admit IT,.
There is nothing TO be gained by such
rose-colored phrases as William White
employed
William Whites brother had killed
a man in cold blood
"'Weli, William, how about your
brother?' a visitor to the town asked
him one day after the trial.
g" 'Well' said William, they've put
him in Jail for a month
That's a rather light sentence for
4 cold-blooded murder, said the gen
leman.
Yes. sir William admitted. but
at the months end they're going to
hang him.

LENTEN SERVICE
AT CATHEDRAL

The Rev. Alvah Doran. Of Philadelphia,
preached tho second sermon of the Len
ten course at the Cathedral last night.
He said in part
Man kind is religious and irreligious,
but unbelief has remained individual. To-
cal; religion diffuses itself corporately and
universally Three great pillars have sup
ported human society tho priest, tho sol
dior ana the Judge. Two great charpcter-
istics have run through all religions, prop
hecy and sacrament Reason easily proves
TO us the existence OF a Supreme ana per-
sanal first cause OF all that exists re-
liglon is an intercourse OF dependence of
man with God. Reason confronted on all
sides like an island by untracked seas has
never preserved merely rational wor-
ship"

NEW BILLS OPEN
AT OPERA HOUSE

The Harris Amusement Company,
1essees or the Grand Opera House, an
nounce Jane Hood and Company in
"A Highland Soldiers Romance" as
the headliner Of the bill. which opens
there this afternoon. It will be re-
membered that Miss Hood and her
company were booked a short time ago,
but a change IN dates was necessary,
and at the last minute II was necessary
TO substitute another act. There was
n desire 70 secure "A Highland Soldiers
Romance" because Of the reputation
which il enjoys in other cities. The
idea Of the playlet is on romantic
comedy rather than farce comedy
lines
clifton and Carson, who occupy a
feature position on the bill. arc de-
clared to have the "wlttiest Of comedy
sketches" This will be a matter for
the audience to judge. II is not often
that a team of this kind can be in
duced to play three performances a
day, but they have been this time. and
Wilmington will see them.
College boy acts have been seen here
on several occasions. but this week
the Harris Amusement Company will
show what the girls can do, for It has
secured Remand and Melville, The ORR
ginal College Girls, for one OF the
features. beginning to-day.
Billy McDermott, The Orator OF wit.
will make his first appearance before a
Wilmington audience and Grand Opera
House patrons will hear some real
"orating," for Billy really crates in
stead OF talks. as do most monologuists.
Atwood and Terry are billed as
comedians They have an act which
is bubbllng over with comedy.
The Harrisograph as usual will offer
new and interesting moving pictures.

was no guess work, for we saw the
