After
MUCH QAIETVlN WILMINUT0N
The Easter Dances Play and Tour by
Paint and Powder. Club "Rip Van
Winkle." "Black Patti Trou
badours" Other Events.
A record of unusual gaiety was
scored in vWilmington social circl
during Easter week just closed, bein
distinguished by elegant germans
by Ii' Arioso " German Club, 17 Agile
Cotillon Club, Miss Lord's com
plimentary german; - the dance by
Hanover Seaside club; the an
nual sociable by Hibernian So -ciety
; three theatrical entertainments
by the Eunice Goodrick Company and
numerous other pleasant events. The
coming week, however, bids fair to
rival the one just closed, at least in the
number of amusement attractions.
The principal interest in coming
events, of course, centers in the enter
tainment at the Opera House on
Thursday night by the "Wilmington
Paint and Powder Club," when they
will render their grand double bill, J
giving '-Comedy and Tragedy" as a
curtain-raiser, followed by "The Merry
Maid." Elaborate costumes, stage
paraphernalia and .lithographs have
been ordered and will be here in ample
time for Thursday night's perform
ance. Highly satisfactory rehearsals
are being held, and the greatest suc
cess ever scored by a Wilmington
amateur company is positively as
sured. As heretofore announced, the
members of the club who will take part
in the coming entertainment are Miss
Hattie Taylor, Miss Annie Lee, Miss
Nessie Cotchett, Miss Eliza McPher
son, Mr. W. F. Robinson, Mr. James
H. Cowan, Mr. Thos. H. Wright, Mr.
W. W. Vick and Mr. James Cotchett
The sale of seats for the play will com
mence at Gerken's Tuesday morning.'

principal cities of the State, so that they
will leave here Monday, April 17th,
playing in Fayette ville on that night,
at Durham on the 18th, at Winston
Salem on the 19th, at Greensboro on
the 20th, at Raleigh on the 21st, and at
Goldsboro on Saturday, the 22d, re

etc , to prepare the way for the coming
of the Club to the various cities on the
dates named. ! I
The first Opera House attraction of
the week will be on to-morrow night
by Mr. Samuel W. Glenn, presenting
"Rip Van Winkle." Mr. Glenn is
now 70 years old, bein&r the first actor
to take the part of Rip Van Winkle
on the 'stage, having started Joe Jef
ferson in the part in Washington City
in 1860. The- Charlotte Observer of
February 4th says that "one need not
want to see the character of the amia
ble ne'er-do-well better portrayed"
than Mr. Glenn interpreted it in that
city on that date. And adds that "the
company as a wnoie is an excellent
one," complimenting especially Mr.
Bokee, as Derrick; Mr. Ring, as Her
man, ana Miss granger as Mrs. mp
Van Winkle. j
Another theatrical this week.
and
at
one witnal which promises to
tract a big audience is the famous
"Black Patti Troubadours" billed for
Tuesday night The press in several
leading cities pronounce this an espec
ially meritorious and particularly
mirth-provoking attraction, so that a
feast of misth, melody and music may
well be anticipated. Besides 'JBlack
Patti," who" is conceded to possess the
sweetest voice of any negro4 on the
American stage, there are a number of
soloists and other specialists who com
bine to afford a meritorious enter
tainment, j I
The entire lower floor of the Opera
House will be reserved for white
people. ' j

members of the department. The sub
jects will be "Early Life, and Life in

tor." -i- . (
The April meeting of all depart
mentsof Sorosis was held in their
apartments in the Seaboard Air Line
building Thursday afternoon. There
was a large attendance, and the meet
ing proved one of the most satisfac
tory held in quite a while. The re
ports from S the various departments

ting very enthusiastic- ; work in all
the avenues of Sorosis study. A
pleasing social feature of the
Sorosis was a delightful "tea," held

Mr. P. Heinsberger reports increased
interest among the Confederate Vet

the idea in some way that the reunion
was to be April 10th, instead of May
10th. The ronnd trip will be $4.25.
A Stab reporter was told yesterday
that while the matter has not been de
flnently decided, it is highly probable

Hornet, about that time and will go to
Charleston during the reunion.

THE
LETTUCE SHIPMENTS.
More Than 1,000 Barrels Sold Here This
Week Other Truck Shipments.
More than a thousand barrels of
lettuce were shipped to the Northern

ments for the corresponding period
last year. .About 225 barrels were
shipped yesterday and large quantities
will go out on the morning trains to
day. The truckers are still receiving

per barrel. Considerable quantities

THE CRUISER RALEIQH.
Gov. Russell Thinks There is Yet
Proba-
- bility of her Coming Here.
The Raleigh News and Observer of
yesterday, referring to the Stab's
special from Southport indicating that
the Raleigh will not visit Wilming
ton, says: j ' -
This is much to be regretted. It
would be most appropriate to have
the cruiser come to North Carolina
waters, even if only for a short stay.
The reasons for the decision against
such a course are not known.
The dispatch was yesterday called
to the attention of uovernor Kussell,
who has just returned from Wash
ington. He said he thought the plans
had been changed since the writing
of the letter; the cruiser would, he
thought, i come to New x ark, rmi&
delphia, Norfolk and Wilmington.
