CONNOLLY SISTERS
SCORE At LYRIC

The chief feature OF the bill at tho
Lyric theater this week 10 its novelty
Four out OF the five acts are out OF
the usual order. Pearl and Roth, two
young men who are unsteady inclin-
ed. furnish the first of these novelties
exchanging airy pershage while dis
guised AZ stage hands or garbed in
more conventional street attire. They
also indulge In the evening suit habit.
They play everything from a piano to
a. cigar-box fiddle. Their "conversa-
TONS on these latter instruments Is a
most amusing duet
Next in tho novelty line is Little
Lord Roberts. who does everything
from an Imitation of an. infant in
arms. playing the infant himself, to a
burlesque on John Philip Sousa direct
Ing his band, playing THE Stars and
Stripes Forever" He made hit with
the women and children. and after the
matinee was over held a reception on
the stage.
Following came the Connolly sisters.
In one of those acts which belongs to
another era and Ia, consequently. q
novelty today They are both good
looking girls. can sing and dance and
they furnish a couple of dashing
costumes each that makes everyone
sit up. What is moro. they have per
sonality, magnetism and they know
how to make their Offering go. 1t is
a performance full Of ginger and was
the hit Of the show.
Mirl's cockatoos wind UP the quar-
tet of novelties The birds perform
all sorts of tricks with promptness and
precision. Dunn and Dean open tho
performance. Miss Dunn II a clever
young lady and her Spanish dance Is
graceful and fetching. Deans imita-
tions were well received and the pair
present a lively opening &C.

COTTON WAREHOUSE
BUILDING IN \. c,

New Bern, N. c., Aug. 31.-Believ-
Ing that the farmers OF that section
should hold their cotton for higher
prices or at least until the scare
brought on by the European war has
snbsided. Il. H. Morton, who lives at
belgrade. near Maysville, and who il
one OF the most progressive farmers
ana citizens of that section. is COM
.empiating the erection of a large
orick warehouse, which will be used
as storage warehouse for cotton and
also any other farm products that
1t Is found advisable to hold.
Mr.. Morton was in New Bern yes
terday and while here he talked In
terestingly of his proposed step. He
claims that the crop this year will be
larger and better in quality than be-
fore In many years. and that the grow
ers should receive a better price for
1t than they have heretofor. been get
ting. However. he believes, and pres
ent indications point that way, that
prices will be lower and that the de-
mand VIII be less than it was last
year.
Mr.. Morton reasons that this state
OF affairs cannot continue
great length of time, and that when
conditions have cleared up and the
war has come to a close, that the
European countries will demand large
quantities of cotton for manufacturing
purposes, and that IL thu present crop

BRITISH LOST FROM
5000 TO 5000 MEN

London, Aug. Sl---The ofIictal press
bureau of the war ONCE issued the
following statement,
During four days from August %
to August 90. inclusive. tho British
troops, conforming to the general move
ment of the French armies. resisted
and checked the German advance and
withdrew TO new lines OF defense.
THE battle OF August 26 was one
of the severest and most desperate
character. Our troops offered the
most stubborn, superb resistance
against the tremendous odds with
which they were confronted. They
finally extricated themselves In good
order. although they suffered serious
losses under a very heavy artillery fire.
No guns were taken by the enemy
except those on which the horses were
all killd or which were shattered by
high explosive shells.
"Sir John French estimates during
ell these operations. from August %
to August 2e. inclusive. that our losses
amounted to between 5000 and 5000
men. On the other hand. the German
losses in their attacks in the open in
dense formations we're out of all pro-
portions TO ours"

FOOD RIOTS FOLLOW

Providence. r. l., Aug. st.-Two
serious food riots occurred In tho
Italian district on Federal Hill last
night and this afternoon. Trouble
began a week ago last night because
OF advanced prices on macaroni.
when local Socialists denounced
Frank T. Ventrone. Additional adj
vances in prices were made during
the week. Last evening a Socialist
urged big audience to take 1t out
OF ventrone. The meeting was
abruptly adjourned and a stampede
made for Ventrone's place. Crowds
of Italians pouring out OF their homes
participated. Ventrones shop with
three other adjoining stores were
completely wrecked. The mob
smashed In the windows. seized thou
sands Of dollars worth of macaroni,
groceries. clothing and other prop
erty and dumped 1t into the street
An alarm was sent 10 the police and
lighting became general. This rioters
used revolvers on the police. but In
effectively. The police discharged
their revolvers In the air. but failed
TO produce any effect, whereupon
they dubbed the taes, making many
arrests. Today the rioters were

is held over. instead OF being placed
on the market Just at this time that
the farmers can secure a. much better
price.
Mr.. Morton has taken into consider
alton that many Of the growers will
have to have some money to tide
them over for few months and he
believes that the cotton placed In his
warehouse can easily be used as col
lateral for loans of reasonable
amount, and that these can be repaid
when the staple is finally disposed Of.
He has discussed the proposition
with many growers in that section and
they have readily fallen In with his
views, In fact, they have ga heartily
agreed that he has practically def
nitely decided to erect the warehouse
and hopes to have it in readiness for
use at an early date.
