Field's Greater Minstrels to tho Messenger Opera House tomorrow night more than passing theatrical comment should be made upon it. By far more than ordinary attention should be given It by the amusement loving public of Goldsboro. And j 11 this for several reasons, but primarily because Goldsboro Is the smallest city In North Carolina ever pluyed by the Field bhow. This big minstrel or- ganizat'on has never attempted to p!ay a city as small as Goldsboro before So Importance attaches itself to the event for this reason, if for no other. Local theatre-goers should take enough pride in this distinction to pack the Opera House tomorrow night. The engagement is a sort of venture on the part of both Mr. Field, of thf noted burnt cork aggregation, and Mr. S. A. Schloss, lessee of the Goldsboro theatre, and upon the showing made, as to the size of the audience, not only depends whether the Field company will visit this city again next season, but whether ninny er of. tan .b: shows will come this way. So the en gagement of the Field show Is a vital one for the future welfare of Golds boro, but It also means a mammot'.: minstrel production regardless of the size of the audience. Again, Goldsboro is the only city in North Carolina to be visited by Al. G Field's Greater Minstrels, upon this Jump through the State, except Wilmington. To show the Importance and the great magnitude of the event, it is well to state that the Field show, which Is so gigantic that it travels like a circus, Jumped from Athens, Ca. after its performance Inure Monday nieht and came by special train to Wilmington, where a performance will be given tonight. Tomorrow the show comes to Goldsboro and goes direct from here to Danville, Va. In order to get Mr. Flejd to play Goldsboro and to make the big Jump to Wilmington, Mr. S. A. Schloss made him some big monetary conces sions. However, as he and Mr. Field are personal friends, the guarantee was not as large as Mr. Field would have demanded to play a new town to the show, like Goldsboro. So botL he and Mr, Schloss have something at stake in the coming engagement. while the city of Goldsboro. from a theatrical standpoint, has also much in the balance. Quite a number of fine' attractions have been greeted- by small houses here this season, but Mr. Schloss has always maintained that this was due to force of circumstances, and, feel ing that Goldsboro does possess the theatric germ, has continued to put forth strong efforts to induce the best attractions to visit this city, but, of course, as the "proof of the puddinp is in the eating," why the theatrical booking agents in New York will not always turn a willing ear to his plans and Goldsboro, unless better audiences are given, will go lacking for gool shows, and 'what Mr. Schloss, who !s one of the leading theatre manage not only In the South, but in the coun try, and who has the ear of the book ing agents, cannot do, ethers certainly will stand no chance of accomplish ing. Al. G. Field's Greater Minstrels Is the greatest, most expensive and most Important organization of Its kind in the world. It Is truly mammoth and furnishes each year to the larger citi -r their most brilliant minstrel event. Reserve seats are now on sale al Hill's drug store. CONFEDERATE DEAD. .Marking of Grates Will Occupy All of Next Tear. Washington, D. C, Dec. 6. The marking of the graves of the Confed erate dead who died in Northern pris ons probably will occupy all of next year and Secretary of War Dickinson today asked for an extension of time for performing this work after Feb ruary 26, when the legislative author ity will expire. Gen. William C. Oates is the commissioner charged with the duty of marking these graves and Sec retary Dickinson says that while Gen eral Oates has been diligently at work the task is still Incomplete. He thinks, however, that it can be fin ished within the next calendar year. THE WEATHER. Forecast for floldsboro Ity. and Tlcin. Rain tonight; Wednesday fair; de cidedly colder.

Action oo Leadership Postponed 1'iitll Dellnlle Action by Culberson. Washington, D. C. Dec. 6. With great seriousness the Democratic members of the Senate met In caucus today to elect a successor to Senator Culbarson, who has determined to re sign as chairman of the caucus be cause of ill health. A tentative program had been ar ranged by 'which Mr. Money, vice chairman, was to be elevated to the leadership and was to decline because of disinclination to take upon himself such duties because of ill health. Sea ator Bacon was then to be elected a. chairman. With this program agreed unon Senator Culberson's letter was read to the assemblage and - then It was discovered that he had not re signed, but had merely stated his pur pose of so doing. Immediately all the well-laid plans of thetatesmen were upset and fur ther action was postponed until defi nite action is taken by the Texas sen ator. The caucus elected Thomas W. Kel 'er, of West Virginia, assistant door- ''(eper, which position is equivalent to a Democratic representative of the sergeant-at-arms on the floor of the Senate. Mr, Keller has been in the employ of the Senate for thirty years "CONTRARY MARY.", Miss Adelaide Thornton Will Be Seen In This Delightful Play Monday. A theatrical event of Importance is the announcement of Miss Adelaide Thurston in "Contrary Mary," a new play from the pen of Miss Edith Ellis who has been responsible for many successes of the past few years. Miss Thurston is, without a ques tlon of a doubt, one of the most popu- lar players that appear in this city. and her engagement each year is look ed forward to with a great deal of pleasure. Her rare beauty, her petite form and her charming personality are all thoroughly well known. Her gifts as an actress have placed her in the estimation of the public on a high plane of esteem. Her name is associated with an earnest endeavor to present plays of clean moral tone easily suited to the taste and enter tainment of the better class of theatre goers and presented with scrupulous regard to the neUction of her support ing cast. The production is a sumptuous one. Mr, Francis X. Hope, having produced the play without regard to expense, lays particular stress on-the fact that exact duplicates of the splendid homes In which the action takes place will be reproduced with photographic ex actness. Next Monday night, Decemher 13, is the date of Miss Thurston's appear ance in this city, and it is hoped that Goldsboro will give her the laro and cultured audience she merits. Before, when Miss Thurston was hero, she had a small audience, owing to the State convention of the Daughters of tie Confederacy, In whose honor a racep-j tlon was being held that night, and which Miss ! Thurston, late In the evening attended, she being r. me.iiber of the U. D. C. Next Monday ni.ht sUe should be given a cordial patron age by the local chapter of the Daugh rs cf the Confederacy.
