Two big attractions are on tapis for the Opera House this week' Thelma" to-morrow night and Field's renowned and gigantic minstrel organization Wednesday evening. "Thelma" is known far and near aa the best or all Miss Marie Oorelli'a popular novels and every woman sympathizes with and loves the char actor of the heroine; in fact she ap peals so strongly to womanly hearts that there has been over five thou sand children named for Miss Corelli's famous character. Mr. Chase has made the Viking a very strong and interesting character bringing in the idea the of old Norse Mythology which teaches that just before death claims one of- this race, a beautiful Valky rie maiden sent by Odin appears in the air and convenes with the dying. During the action of the play, when the Viking feels that death is near, he takes to his ship, which he sets on fire and then holds converse with the Valkyrie. The company is of the best and the scenery and electrical effects are said to be gorgeous. Seats on sale at Gerken'a.

BOST0CK AND FERARI They Are Veteran Showmen Who Have Been 0a the Road for Years Car nival Dates Are October 14th 17th, Inclusive. In Col. Francis Ferari, the geniua at the head of the Bostock-Ferari combination at the Elks' Fair next week, is ' a man who would hardly know how to act away from a show. He was born in the business and has demoted his life to it The big broad lunged, active and energetic Colonel says he haa never known what a per manent home was that is a cottage and his own door yard. He has lived like a nomad all his life. Col. Ferari has his chorea but they are not aprink ling the lawn and putting the babies to bed. He is the guiding genius of fourteen big shows. Morning, noon and night he is identified with their 1 operation. There isn't five minutes in the day that there is not something to demand his attention. If an employe who is much depended on gets swelled on bis importance and quits Col.Fera ri is called and if he can't find a sub stitute he goes en himself. If the lights are faulty or anything goes wrong anywhere a messenger is sent for him. He is here, there and every where nearly all the time. But, withal, he is master of the situation. He knows the show -business from a to z, and he is always in perfect touch with every detail. Col. Ferari war bora among the spanglers and the din of the circus and the roar of the animals were his lullabys. He is of English descent His father was an animal trainer and his mother worked with him. He waa born in France, where the show his father was with was exhibiting. As soon aa he waa big enough he waa pressed into service and at six years of age waa doing turns with his father and mother in the animal cages. He travelled aa a child with the show over England, Ireland and the conti nent, and when he attained manhood followed his father's footsteps as an animal trainer. Fourteen years ago, his father having died, he came to this country and was employed with shows as a wild beast trainer. Mr. Bostock is about Mr. Ferari'a age and was of the aame profession. They were working in the same show together. They had a little means with which they started out in busi ness together. They were successful from the start and soon acquired a pretentious animal show. This they exhibited in the East, and in 1892 took it abroad. They returned the next year and exhibited their animals at the World's Fair. Bostock is known as the animal king. He is accounted the most fear less man in the business. He and Ferari confined their attraction ex clusively to wild animals until a few years ago, they added other features and began playing carnivals and en tertainments like the Elks' Fair. They have two aggregations One of them Mr. Bostock has in the Pan-American Exposition now. While Col. Ferari does not work the animals now, being too busy with the management of his aggregation, he is true to his first love. He superintends every detail of the animal show and makes his home with it. The animal show is his pride and he spends a small fortune annually in maintaining it at the high standard Wilmington people will find it. All the other shows are arranged on plans similar to the animal show. Two, and in some instances three, wagona form the front of each show. The performers and ' people in charge of these shows live in these wagons and live well, too. All are neatly fitted up and the visitors would be surprised at the - many evidences that women In the show business do not forget their desire for pretty trink ets and nice '' little room ornaments. The rest of ihe employes are equipped with cots and sleep in the varioua tenta.; : - Opening days next Wednesday and Thursday at Render's.

Hicks,, the well known molasses importer and business man of Wilmington, disappeared from his home. No. 418 8outh Third street,' and his continued absence until about o clock yesterday afternoon caused gravest apprehensions as to his wel fare.

At 3 o'clock she was certain that something unforeseen had come in the way of his returning. ana memoem oi ine ramuy were aroused. Communication was had with Mr. Craft, who had seen nothing of his employer; neither could any information be secured as to his visit to The Orton. Mr. Craft and others went to the atore on the wharf, but as far as could be learned he had not been there. Up to the hour of his discovery yes terday friends made anxious search for him, but no trace of him could be found until Messrs. Geo. W. Millis and W. H. Castin found him just back of Kidder's mill on his way to a tele phone, evidently to apprise his family of his whereabouts. Mr. Millis talked with him and found him in possession of all his faculties and perfectly will ing to accompany him home, which he did. Hia numerous friends, who had oc casion to fear for hia safety, were joy ful that no ill had befallen him.
