Way" if the plans of many business
men are adopted.
Impressed with the striking inn
provement noted along Market street,
as the result of the hanging of cleo
trio lights for "Old Home Week, i"
merchants on that thoroughfare are
urging that the light be retained. at
least until after the Christmas holt
days.
In advocating the improvement the
business men interested declare the
increased trade which will result from
better illuminated street, will more
than Offset the cost of maintaining
the lights. They assert that larger
crowds will visit Market street in
the evenings as a result of the i'm
prOvement.
Those seeking to have the lights
retained point out that Illuminating
effects used during a former "Old
Home Week" were kept in place after
the celebration, and say the expert
ment was well worth while.

@THE TRAFFIC..

An appreciative audience saw THE
Traffic" at The Playhouse last night
when Wilmington had its first oppor-
tuhity of seeing the strong drama by
Rachael Marshall and Oliver Bailey,
of which so much has been written
and on which there has been so much
discussion. AS the name would in
dictate, the play deals with the white
slave traffic, and there can be no
question that the drama is one Of
the strongest placed on the stage.
Neither can there be a question that
the subject is handled i'm a delicate
way which makes it presentable as a
part of a drama. That the strong
play literally grips tho audience
which attends a performance is prob
ably hest attested by the fact that
audiences composed of people who
would be shocked at murder offer
vigorous applause in the act where
cadet" is killed by a girl whom
he has wronged Another evidence
of the feeling is the fact that on
Tuesday in Harrisburg some one who
was wrought up over the show took
a shot at King Strong, who plays the
part as he left the rear entrance of
the theatre where he was playing.
The company is capable. Bess Sankey
as the Agnes Berton. OF the piece,
is strong at all times and particularly
So in the latter scenes of the play
when she kills the man who has
sought out her sister. Maude Hill
man. as Mrs. Molly Mcclure, is a
splendid type of good hearted Irish
woman who tries TO save the girl, but
does not exactly know how. Rose
Ludwig is acceptable as Elsie Ber-
ton, the younger sister. Lois Bolton
is clever as Rosalinda, the girl who
is deceived by a mock marriage, but
goes TO the shelter of and becomes a
worker for the Salvation Army. King
Strong maks the most OF the part of
Vic Connors. Mr.. Strong is a de-
cidedly capable actor. The remainder
of the company is good

ATLANTIC" ON EXHIBITION

IL was expected to have the old
B. & o. relic engine Atlantic" built

parade on Wednesday afternoon, but
on account Of remaining at Ports
mouth. Ohio, until the termination of
the farmers celebration there last
week and the engine at the last min

ing on the street car tracks under
its own steam, it was impossible to
get it here in time. The engine had
just taken the Portsmouth City Coun-
Gil for a trip around their city and
was about to make the second trip
when the axle gear broke. Repairs
were started at once, and the engine
left Portsmouth on Monday evening
for Wilmington, arriving last night
There are many historical associa-
tons connected with this old engine.
The Atlantic" in 1861 carried
Abraham Lincoln from Baltimore to
Washington for his first Inaugural
ton. In 1865 it brought the funeral
car containing his body from Wash
ington to Baltimore on its journey
north.
In 1873, at the special request of
General Grant, it conveyed him to
his second Inauguration, from Balti-
more to Washington. This finished
the "Atlantic's" passenger work, and
from then until 1892 it was in yard
service at Mt. Clare Yards, Baltimore

YOU CAN'T BRUSH OR
WASH OUT DANDRUFF
The Simplest and Quickest Way is to
Dissolve 1t.

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it
at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
DO this tonight, and by morning most
if not all of your dandruff will be gone,
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy,
every single sign and trace of it, no mat
ter how much dandruff you may have.
You viii find, too, that all itching and
digging OF the scalp will stop at once
and yonr hair Will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
Il hundred times better
Ii you want TO preserve your hair, do
by all means get rid of dandrfT, for
nothing destroys the hair more quickly.
