Consumption as a cause of death is

In the Philadelphia Medical and

suggests that night carriage lamps, in
stead of being put at the sides of vehi cles,
where they can serve only to illu

project from tbt horse's collar or the

The Magic Queen.
There was a large attendance at the
Opera IKuso last night to witness the
sccorid performance of ZoZo, the Magic
Queen, and it is entirely safe to say
that there was not one in the audience
who was not highly delighted at the
entertainment. We but voice public
sentiment when we say that it was one
of the most beautiful exhibitions of the
scenic painter's skill, combined with a
group of bewitching loveliness and
good acting, ever seed in this city. The,
acting was but a repetition, of course,
of the previous night, and was excel
lent throughout, but the scenery seem
ed to develope beauties which we failed
to discover on the first presentation of
the play. .It was beautiful beyond
description. Each act opened upon a
new scene, more beautiful and enchant
ing, it possible, than its predecessor.
The second act opened in tho Bower
of Roses," which carried one, as if by
the subtle power of the'Magic Queen,"
into the realms of "Fairy Land." But
the great, crovuing effect wa3 pro
duced in the grand transformation
scene with which the performance
concluded. This was a fitting finale
to an entertainment so gorgeously pre
sented . It was a work ot ; .marvelous
beauty and was atrium ph.of the artist's
skill. Of the acting we must say that
Mr. George H. Adams, the "comedian,
was inimitable, and his drolleries were
irresistibly ludicrous. He is a host in
himself. The song by Miss Tom a
Hanton was very finely, rendered;
the dancing by Miss Leo Cole3 and
Miss Bindley was exquisite, the former
being the best we have, seen in many
years. The performance by Miss
Bindley on the musical glasses was an
interesting feature in the entertainment
and showed a wonderful proficiency
which could only have been acquired
by much patient toil. Miss Jennie
Barrett as Rose. Miss Myrtle Chase,
as May Iilossom. and Miss Louise Saun
ders, as Lilac, were especially good.
The parts of the gentlemen were well
taken and well sustained. The en
gagement of the company will close
here with to-night's performance when
there will undoubtedly be a crowed
house. Jt is a perforance that must be
seen to be understood and appreciated.
The matinee to-day was well attended
and all were pleased.

A Solemn Fact.
A gentleman from Philadelphia, who
was at the Fourth Street Market last
Friday could scarcely believe that such
fine beef as was .displayed there by
Jno, F. Garrell & Son retailed at 10
cents per pound. He declared that he
had often paid 30 cents in Philadelphia
for just such beef. It i3 a fact. Garrell
& Son lead not only Wilmington but
the world, in fine beef. It
The Next.
On Fiiday and Saturday nigbU the
emotional drama of theBanker'sDaugh
ter will be presented at the Opera
House, with a matinee on Saturday
af ternoon, by a strong company. Jt is
an excellent play and was presented
here last year by the same company
that aro playing it this season. It is a
good company. In speaking of the
play, the Norfolk Virginian says :
A large house greeted the appearance
of Crossen's Banker's Daughter Com
pany at the Academy ot Music last
eyening, although the play has been
presented here by some very strong
companies. It . loses nothing in its
strength, as presented by the company
last night. Each and every character
wa3 most admirably taken and the
company is evenly balanced. . Mr.
Crossen, as G. Washington Phipps. an
American tourist, andMr.G. J. James,
the retired millionaire, furnished tbeir
full share of amusement, while Mis3
Ida Lewis made an excellent Lillian.
Beware of Parties
that hold out tempting baits., llonesl
goods and low prices are the only in
ducements necessary. If more is re
quired the patron must pay for the ex
tras pro rata, as -hundreds of our pat
rons have, and who can truly testify
that such aro facts. We have saved
our customers many dollars when they
have taken the time and trouble to
compare our goods and price3 with
scheming competitors. This is the
only true and reliable test. We will
cheerfully send goods to your residence,
letting you be the judge. We have a
standing offer to donate $100 to any
charitable institution in this city, if
100 worth of goods selected from our
large slock, viz: clothing for men, boys
andchildren, gents' furnishing goods,
and hats and caps, are not found to be
15 per cent, less than the, identical
goods, of as good value, can be had
elsewhere; in many cases wc would be
safe in saying 25 per cent.
It is very gratifying to us to know
that our trade ha3 increased, which
goes to show that notwithstanding the
different schemes and new competition
we have to contend with the masses
will not be gulled, preferring rather to
trade where goods can be had for the
least money, and whoever offers other
inducements with their goods, you will
find that the purchaser is taxed either
directly or indirectly to support these
schemes. Siirier, the Old Reliable
