There is only one David Bispham, and he will be heard In Charlotte next Thursday night at the Acade- my. A gentleman said this morring: “I don't care for singing as a rule— but I would w^lk a mile any time to go and hear Bispham sing ‘Danny Deever,’ he is simply great.” That is why Mr. Bispham is always in such demand at great national conven tions; men crowd to hear him sing. His genius and sympathy holds his audience and lifts his fellow man out of the rut of common every day existence and stirs him to noble sen timent and high aspirations. More over, Mr. Bispham is a speaker who.se voice and diction are delights (o the listening ear. Mr. Bispham on .lanuary 2Gth, at Indianapolis, pre sented the one ac^ play “Adelaide,” which shows a t t’gic incident in the life of Beethoven, in which he took the title roll in a most wonderful manner. Mr. Bispham is now on New York filling engagements wit hthe Philarmonic Society.

VEY’S All In Readiness Kress Opening Stoie With its Magnificent Effects Will Be a Revelation to City—Not Equalled in Paris, Says Kress Represent ative. BEAUTIFUL WEDDING LAST EVENING. With that charming refinement characteristic of the Kincaid family, the details of the marriage of Miss Anna Douglas Kincaid, of this city, and Mr. Arthur Harris Thompson, of Minneapolis, Minn., v.’ere planned and bpautiftilly carried out. The nuptials attracted to the First Presbyterian church last night a large and fashionable audience repre senting friends of Dr. and Mrs. Kin caid and of the young bride of the evening. The pulpit and choir loft were rich ly adorned for the marriage of the loved daughter of the late and be loved pastor of the church. On a background of magnolia leaves and other greens, white carnations and brides roses .stood out in charming relief, while towering over all, in queenlv beauty was the Easter lily. At no wedding has the church ever looked so pretty. The hour of the ceremony was 8 o’clock. As the clock struck the wed ding procession left tlie manse, and entered the church. The ushers. Dr. R. L. Gibbon and Messrs. J. M. Scott, J. W. Zimmer- man and Buford Patterson, entered in pairs and stood either side of the pulpit. Preceding the bride \%is her sister, Mrs. Douglas Kincaid, rfi Wadesboro, who, gowned in a lovely dress of soft pale blue silk, with Duchess lace and can'ying an armful of white roses and carnations, walked alone, and with marked grace and dignity of t)earing, down the bride’s aisle. Fol lowing in a few minutes was the Ijride—the charming little woman in whom the affectionate Interest of a city, centered. As she passed along the white car- petted aisle to join the man of her choice who stood waiting for her at the pulpit, she was an ideal picture of grace and prettiness. Her dress was of soft white silk, en train, veiled with marquisette and garnitured with Old Point lace that was on her mothers wedding gown. Her vail was white tulle, held on either side of the \vell-poised head by rosettes of tulle. The traditional wreath of orange blossoms' was con spicuous by its absence. She carried an exquisite bunch of bride’s roses and white hyacinths. Dev. Dr. A. A. McGeachy, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, heard the vows, and in an impres sive manner united the two yoimg lovei^ in the holy bonds of marriage The bride was given away by her brother, Mr. Douglas Klncaii. Her younger brother, Mr. Billie Kincaid, was best man. Mr. .1. H. Craighill was at the or gan and rendered Mendelssohn’s wed ding march. as a processional, “Traumneri” during the serivce and Ivohengrin as a recessional. The bii- dal party returned to the manse, ana shortly after Mr. and Mrs. Thomp son left for Virginia, where they will reside The bride is the only daugh ter of the late William Morris Kin caid, D. D.. and Mrs. Anna Douglas Kincaid. She is one of the most ac complished and highly cultured young women of this city. The rich thoughts expressed bj’’ her distin guished father from Sunday to Sun day are beautifully reflected in her mind, and define her as a wom^n of brilliant mentality, as well as personal charm. The groom has been prominent in business and social liffe in Minneapo lis. He is highly esteemed there, having a wide circle of friends. He was accompanied on his happy mis sion here by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, of Minneapolis. Mrs. Thompson was richly gowned last night in crimson satin veiled in black marquisette. When Charlotte walks into Kress & Co.'s magnificent new store this after noon, and again in the morning, it will hold its breath in admiration. The whole interior will be a revela tion. Not in New York, not in London or Paris, says Mr. F. C. Dallmer, of New York, special superintendent of the Messrs. Kress for the opening of their mammoth new store in this city, is there a ten-cent store comparable to this new Charlotte s-tore. The News of Sunday told in detail the main facts, which go to make up the magnificent ensemble of the store but not until, today, when the goods were all in place, the clerks behind the counter, the lights turned on and the store flooded with an illumination which is surpassingly beautiful, could the real significance in commercial and aesthetic detail, be appreciated. To the beauty of light and elegance of goods, is added the fragrance of flow' ers. Banks of palms, ferns and Easter lilies adorn the main salesroom. The mural tints are pink—side walls—and light green—ceiling. To the right as you enter the north door is the most beautiful candy counter in the United States. The entire counter is patentee. The floor ing of glass divisions is of white glass imported from Belgium. It is non-absorbent. The reserve stock re ceptacles are of block tin which have passed under the eye of the chemist and been pronounced per fect in every way. The counter is provided with a white porcelain bowl for the clerks to Avash their hands. Over the counter is a row of Tungsten lights suspended from the ceiling by heavy and ornamental iron chains. The illumination of the counter and the entire store is w’on- droualy beautiful. The stock of goods is but little less marvelous thaif decorative set tings. In the china department there are 2,000 vases of royal Japanese china. In the embroidery department ther is $1 embroidery for 25 cents. In the hosiery line $1.50 silk hose are to be sold for 25 cents—60 dozen of them. In them usic department all the latest music will be sold for 20 cents.
