IMPORTANT DEAL BY
THE B. F. KEITH CO.
They Secure the Trade Mark and Right to
Manufacture the Popular Brand of
"Hoe Cake Baking Powder."
The B. F. Keith Cjompany, one of
Wilmington's most enterprising and

manufacture the superior and popular
brand of "Hoe Cake Baking Soda,"
which has been manufactured here by
the Roanoke Chemical Company, re
cently gone out of business, as men
tioned in The Star.
The Keith Co., will continue the
manufacture of "Hoe Cake Soda,"
and expect to keep it up to the high
standard of excellence established for
it by the Roanoke Chemical Company.
This brand of soda has a high reputa
tifci for its quality, and the former
manufacturers spent $10,000 in adver
tising it throughout the South. It is
known far and wido as a high class
soda, and the new manufacturers
possess ample facilities and means to
keep it up to the standard. They ex
pect to push its sale among the trade
in all the States embraced in the Roan
oke Chemical Company's territory.
The Star recently mentioned that
the Keith Company had established
soda works in this citv to manufacture
the "Reliable Brand of Soda." Mr.
B. F. Keith, president of the company,
stated yesterday that the company
will also c.tutinue the manufacture of
this brand, which they guarantee to
be as good as any baking soda on the
market. Both brands will be put up
in any size packages to suit the trade.
See the company's announcement in
the Star's advertising columns this

Olympia Opera Company Begins Its En

morrow Night Pine Orchestra
The Olympia Opera Company will
begin a week's engagement at the
Opera House to morrow night. The
company embraces forty people, in
cluding its own excellent orchestra.
It is said to ba the best repertoire com
pany in the country.
For the past few days the columns
of the papers nave told our people
where the Olympia Opera Company
have been presenting grand and comic
opera and what satisfaction they have
been giving. The organization visits
only the larger cities, and presents a
repertoire of operas that pleases all
who hear them. Their press notices
have told of the merits of the com
pany and what success they had i
Minneapolis, St. Paul, LaCross, Sioux
City and Des Moines
All the Raleigh papers, where the
company played all of the past week,
have spoken in terms of highest praise
of the Olympia. See "Boccacio" to
morrow night, and don't forget about
reserved seats. Prices 25, 35 and 50
cents.

"Frederick The Great" Presented by Mor
rison to a Large Audience.
Lewis Morrison, in "Frederick tbe
Great," at the Opera House last night,
was greeted by one of the largest and
most fashionable audiences of the sea
son. Owing to delay in the arrival of
the train the performance was some
what late in starting, but when the
play began it was soon evident that
Morrison had lost none of his old-time
popularity. Those who had seen him
play the "devil" in Faust and conse
quently anticipated a first class per
formance, were in no way disappoint
ed. The character of Frederick was
portrayed with the vim and enthusi-
q am VioiofAiifiti nf Hf Miicjtn on1
he was supported by an excellent com
pany. Mr. George Foster Piatt, the author
of the play, presented in a most cred
itable manner the part of Lieutenant
Hulson.
Miss Florence Roberts, as La Bar-
barina, an Italian dancer, was the re
cipient of frequent well deserved ap
plause.
The scenery was some of the best
ever seen nere, ana tne spectacular
effects were very good.
After the second act Mr. Morrison
responded to the encores of the audi
ence with a very happy speech, in
which he paid especial tribute to Wil
mington, ai;d assured our people that
in whatever character he acted he
would always visit here.
Wilmington will always be glad to
welcome Mr. Morrison.
WALLACE'S SHOW ARRESTED.
Farmer, Who Lost His Money, Had It Held
Up at Greenwood, S. C.
A Columbia, S. C, dispatch of date
October 19th says: The entire Wal
lace circus was arrested at Greenwood,
S. G, late last night, when about to
load for Augusta. The loading was
stopped and the showmen were in
a serious fix.
A farmer named S. EL Home tried,
it seems, to buck a game in a side show.
After losing over $600, he decided, as
luck or the gamesters were against
him, to appeal to the law. He em
ployed a lawyer and swore out war
rants for several of the men by name
"and others."
All the drivers were arrested as they
reached the train with their teams.
After waiting an hour or two, the
managers paid Home $625. He with
drew the charges and the circus men
were released.
Small Fires Last Night.
At 8.15 o'clock last night an alarm
of fire was sent in from box No. 53, at
corner Eighth and Market streets. The
one story frame dwelling of Mr. N. F.
Farrow, No. 120 South Eighth street,
was damagd to the amou ntof $50 and
the damaged to furniture is about $55.
The cause was the dropping of fire
from the fireplace into the ceiling.
Mr. Farrow carried insurance for $300
on his furniture and $350 on the house
with Messrs. J..H. Boatwright & Son.
At 11:03 o'clock last night the fire
department responded to an alarm
from box twenty-five. The fire was at
the residence of Mr. W. W. Holladay,
on Second between Mulberry and
Chesnut. It was caused by the burn
ing of a candle on the mantle, which ig
nited a box of matches and exploded
a box of cartridges. The dwelling is
owned by Mrs. G. G. Lewis and the
damage including that to furniture is
about $25. It was extinguished with
out the aid of the department. Some
confusion resulted in the answering of
the alarm by the companies on the
south circuit of the system, the gong
at Fourth Street bridge being the only
alarm that sounded, on account of the
breaking of a spring in the repeaters
at the battery room, which was after
wards repaired by Superintendent
Yates. The companies on the south
circuit got the "taps" reversed and
went to box fifty-two, which is at cor
ner of Seventh and Queen streets.

quested to report promptly at the Stab
