THE GREAT WALLACE SHOWS.
The Exhibitions of the Circus Are of the
Highest Order.
The Richmond Dispatch of yester
day has the following to say of the
great Wallace shows, which will
exhibit here Wednesday, October 4th :
"The great Wallace shows gave two
performances here yesterday, and if
merit of the acts presented in the rings
is the standard by which a circus is to
be judged, then the exhibitions of the
Wallace-shows must be classed as the
equal of any that have been seen here
in many a day.
The namesof the Nelsons, the Stirks,
the Livingstons, William Melrose, and
Eddie Pinard are famous in the amusement-loving
world, and each of the
acts pretented by them stands foremost
in its line. With twenty such artists
on the programme, a circus may well
claim to give a ring performance
equalled by few and surpassed by none.
It is in the strength of these individual
acts that the Wallace shows possess
their greatest strength. The parade in
the forenoon attracted great crowds on
the streets, and the excellent mena
gerie was greatly admired.
The feature of the performance is
the act of the Nelson family nine in
number. They are male and female
performers men, women and children
the youngest being a little slip of a
girl not more than five years of age.
The Stirk family, a troupe of bi
cyclists, deserve to be mentioned next
to the Nelsons. Like the latter, the
Stirks also stand at the top in their
line. Everv one of these performers
seems to be perfectly at home on a
wheel, no matter in what position he
may be, or whether going forward or
backward. It's all the same to the
Stirks. They "finish" with a pyramid
and a display of United States flags,
that calls for the greatest enthusiasm.
William Melrose is the principal
bareback rider, and in his act exhibits
skill, daring and grace.
The Livingstons are the best among
the aerialists with the show, though
there are many others in the circus
who also perform in mid-air.

PROF. LEE, THE HYPNOTIST.
Good Programme Rendered Last Night.
Will Qire Saturday Matinee.
Prof. Lee, the hypnotist, afforded
mirthful entertainment for another
very good audience at the Wilming
ton Opera House last night, the clos
ing feature of the programme being
the especially laughable balloon ascen
sion. Several "acts" previously pre
sented were repeated by special re
quest, notably, the cake-walk feature.
Professor Lee announced last
night that he will give reg
ular entertainments to-night and
to-morrow night and also a Saturday
matinee, the latter especially for the
ladies that is all, both ladies and
gentlemen, are expected to attend
but he hopes to induce a number of
representative ladies to go upon the
stage for the first few features of the
performance. He will exercise only
the simpler phases of hypnotism with
them, such as having them to wind
imaginary balls of yarns, gather
flowers, etc. Subsequently he will,
as usual, get a number of gentlemen
from the audience and give a regular
performance.
From Wilmington Prof. Lee will
go to Raleigh to fill a week's engage
ment The East Carolina Real Estate
Agency will sell for cash, or will ex
change for desirable house and lot in

OVATION TO MR. WARDE.
Baltimore American Tells of Presentation
of "The Lion's Month" In That
City Here Monday.
The engagement of Mr. Frederick
Warde to present "The Lion's Mouth"
at the Wilmington Opera House on
next Monday night is anticipated with
great pleasure by Wilmington theatre-,
goers. There is no doubt that the in
terpretation given this romantic love
story by Mr. Warde and his company
will be of a very high order. The
Baltimore American says of its recent
presentation in that city :
Last night Ford's Opera House
opened for the season, the occasion
being Frederick Warde in Henry Guy
Carleton's Venetian love story, "The
Lion's Mouth." The house was
crowded. Mr. Warde received an
ovation, and was compelled to respond
to numerous curtain calls. The play
is full of romantic interest and pic
turesque effect. It is a story of Venice
in the sixteenth century, dealing with
love, passion, hate and jealousy, and
is full of opportunities for Mr. Warde's
vigorous and robust style of acting.
In the character of the young Prince,
who comes back in disguise to Venice
to avenge his father's murder, he won
instant favor by the manliness, dash
and spirit of his acting and his pictur
esque appearance. The company is an
exceedingly good one, Minnie Tittell
Brune made a fairtand gentle Doge's
daughter, giving the role a charming
sweetness, with a touch, when needed
of emotional strength. The love scenes
were acted with especial effect. Chas.
D. Herman was excellent as the im
placable Francesco, disguised as a
chief inquisitor; in the last act he was
very strong. The rest of the cast did
well. The play was well set, especi
ally the moonlight scene in the Doge's
palace gardens.

ANNOUNCEMENT.
The first cf October one year ago I com
menced business, with the Idea that Wilming
ton could support one first-class Furniture Store.
I have sold since that time finer goods than
were ever sold here before, and as fine as sold
anywhere. I have sold fine goods at cheap
goods prices because I had no reason to make
allowance for losses In selling to unreliable
parties I know where and how to buy, and
my business and personal expenses are small.
My success has been such that I number my
satisfied customers by the score.
I thank my many friends for their patronage,
which encourages me to continue on the same
line at the same stand with an even better stock
than I have carried before. Respectfully,

ARPET
for School ?
Tho f chool hov does not always realize the
necessity of an education; the parent likewise
often fails to realize the necessity of giving
the child the necessary appliances for acquir
ing one. The eye is our main avenue of educa
tlon.
Defective Vision ciuses more school failures
than any other one thing.
One who might otherwise become a power in
the land is often broken down mentally, physi
cally and morally through waste of nervous
energy in defective eyes.
- Constant or recurring headaches that medi
cines fall to relieve, inability to study any
length of time, aversion to bright light. Irrita
bility, or general nervousness, may mean that
your child is wasting nervous energy through
defective eyes.
We make a specialty of fitting the eres of
children and younger people. Guarantee an
accurate and proper adjustment.
