Sisson and his company of players drew another good audience to the opera house last night to the second performance of the week's en gagement The weather was bad but the people were bound to see "William A." blow if it would, rain if it did.

In this play Mr. Sisson appears in his famous role of "William A. - Bokus," and as he played it last night he carried the au dience by storm. His work in this character is marvelously artistic, and the great demonstration of applause was sufficient to show him that tha audience appreciated his great genius.

Fine technique Is the notable feature of her playing. It was a rare pleasure for the audience to hear iher skillfull rendition of the magnificent selections she played. Her work was so highly appreciated that the house rang With applause and she was compelled to respond to double encores after each of the two numbers down for her to render. The audience was charmed wftlh the staging of Miss Adler. She has a voice of remarkable volume , and clear lone and the very hearty applause evinced the great appreciation of her marked vocal ability. At every appearance she was compelled to respond twice more. What shall be eald of the great Hepienyl? He Is one of the world's greatest vtoTIniists, and his playtog held the audience spell-bound. He is master of the violin and the music which his great genius coaxes from that Instrument inspires those who listen to the sweet strains. His tech nique Is superb and all the famous com positions he renders are characterized by a di'stimtft and Inimitable Remenyl toterpretation. When he first appeared before the audience the emtnemt vio linist received a perfect ovataon. Thun ders of applause followed each of 'bis three appearances, and he was encored two, three, and four times, so insatiable was the charmed audience. The closing number . on the pro gramme was "Ave Maria," (Bach Gounod), rendered ensemble by Rem enyl and Misses Adler and Parsons, It was grand and made a fitting finale to one of the grandest concerts a Wil mington audience was ever treated to.

Shrewd Beating Down East ' ; ' ,; That story of a Caribou potato raiser who refused an offer of 48 cents a bar rel for eleven barrels of potatoes, de claring that he would have $5 or nofch? Ing for the load, is matched by a yarn that comes from Grand Lake Stream of a man who recently went after a calf that he had pastured out all sum mer and asked what he owed for the pasturing, says The Lewiston Journal; "Well," says the farmer, "I've got a bill of $7 against you, but I will take the calf and call It settled, providing you are wiling." "No, sir," was the answer. "I will not do thlat, but I will tell you what I will do: You keep the calf two weeks longer, and you can have her."

"The people's party by its action ln this respect, has shown jteelf more re liable and truer than anji other politi cal party that exists. Wlien Cleveland corrupted the y democratio, party by patronage, if not by otherrirSeans in ad dition, to repeal the lastifeilver law on the statute books, the democratic party failed to denounce and eknel its trai tors, who had betrayed ftheir consti tuency and trampled upon the princi ples of their party. Button the con trary, the traitors in thatfease are still men of high standing and position in that party. F "The republican party, fl in dozens of Instances, has been guilt j!of the same Crime in not brandling and expelling traitors from its ranks. "Thus, the people's party has demon strated the necessity for jilts existence and will henceforth draw lraDdlv under its banner of political intTity every honest man and patriot sflill left in the rank and file of bothO of the bid parties." I BITTER DENUNCIATION OF SKIN- NER. I Referring to Representative Skin ner s part in Pritchard's contest, Sena tor Butler said: jj . "Mr. Skinner is probably the most de spised and contemptible character in North Carolina. He could not, today, be elected even a delegat of the peo ples party from-any tonshio In his own county to a county convention. He has no future except in tie republican party, and he will have jno future in that party for the reason that that party has no future in the state. The treacherous , and despicable methods and conduct of the republican party in breaking their co-operafve contract with the people's party, arid in corrunt ing a small faction of our party in the legislature, to secure Priechard's elec tion, and to control and divide out the state patronage to the un&oly combine, makes it, in the future, the party of perfidy and dishonor in lrth Carolina. "Senator Pritchard's election is the dearest bought position fever secured by him or any man. It fiot only de stroys any possible future for his party in the state, but it taints him wUh the questionable, not to safer infamous, methods emdoyed by Haina's aeents. Skinner & Co.. to secure tjhe same. In 8ddition to this, his bacisHdlnjr. and flopping on the financial buestion has lost to him the resneot of leven a large nart of his own party." j i . WATSON HANm.PlD I WITHOUT GLOVES, j "What," the senator wajs asked, "do you think of ex-Vice Presidential Can didate Watson's course in the content?" "Mr. Watson's course," j he replied, "does not surprise me in the least. It is perfectly natural for a rian who pre ferred the election of McKflnfTey to that of Bryan, and so proved his preference by failing to vote for Bran, to favor the-election of Mark Henna's man, Pritchard. to the United Jltntes senate in preference to the election of a straight populist senator, xspeololly when the vote of that senator deter mines whether the gold men shall have a majority of the senate oi the people's party shall have the balance of power in that body to protect the interest and welfare of the people. It is very noticeable that nearly evsry fellow who nosed as a middle-of-the-T'oad ppul'st in the camoaiem-every fellow that was ueh a straight and conscientious pop ulist that he could not afford to vote the Joint electoral tickets, ifchen eneuarh such votes meant th election of Bry an instead of McKinley has been howliner and workinsr forjithe election of Pritchard and aeainst the election of a. tral-ht rwiDulist for senator from North Carolina. ft "This is trne of nearly every one of the few middle-of-the-road nopul'ts In North Carolina.: and evin of certain nrorninpnt so-called m'dd'e-of-the-road rtomilints in other states,, jfrho were so jnTious";for the election Pritihard that '. they wrote letters arwd jwnt tele erams to Raleieh in Pritcfcard's Inter pt. indftrnin"- thp action of)the bolters, and advising them to voteic- Hnna's candidate instead of 'or.a-atra'eht dod nllst for United States j satorAnd rhict amonsr these was onp Thomas E.
