A few days ago The Telegram made a prediction that there would soon be be some new business kouses erected in this city.

He will move his fam ily to Greensboro, and make this city his future home. The Telegram ex tends to him and his family a hearty welcome, and wishes for their pros perity in the flowery city.

In the famous comic opera, "Wa,ng" one hundred costumes are used by the chorus alone. This fact gives a faint idea of the gorgeousnesswith which the opera is put on the stage. Somebody once said that you might as well attempt to analyze a hasheesh dream as to analyze "Wang." And he might have added that, like the gen erality of such dreams, "Wang" is delightful, a dream in itself of beauti ful scenes and beautiful women, laugh ter and nonsense, fantastic costumes and delicious music. It does not pre tend to be more than it is, and that is something to be devoutly thankful for in these days of Munchausen advance agents and circus posters. "Wang" is merely sugared sea foam. It is the embodiment of jollity, with a leavening of beautiful and truthful pictures of far-away Siam, the land of the white elephant.-, Beyonctv the picturesque features and its melodies it claims no merit but that of entertainment, and this merit i) has successfully claimed for five years.

Word from Iowa City received , here this morning says that a riot "araged here for severaf hours 4ast night x over a theatrical performance given by the Cherry Sisters. There are five of the young women, and they are known throughout the West for their total lack of dramatic ability. They were first put on the stage as a joke, but their dismal attempts to entertain were so ludicrous as to make them a "draw ing card." Then they toured the big cities of the central and Eastern States. A number of State University stu dents who attended last night's show became so disgusted that they started a riot. " The Cherry Sisters first looked reproachful and then escaped through the rear door of the theatre, being escorted to their hotel by the police. The students jeered and hissed them, and the tumult became so great that several arrests were made. But even then the police failed to quell the disturbance and a Fire De partment company was summoned. Two lines of hose were turned on the rioters. The chill of this drenching finally discouraged the mob, which, however, was not disperse until mid night. Several persons were slightly injured. Penitentiary Matters. Col. Olds says that in the course of an interview yesterday with Superin tendent .Mewboorne, of the penitentia ry, the latter said: "All the women from the convict farms on the Roanoke will be brought to the penitentiary as soon as the cotton picking ends, prob ably in ten days, and will be put to work in the shirt factory. I think this better than having them at the farms. With favorable weather we can get out the. cotton in ten days. So far the weather has been wonderfully nice. The crop is over 3,000 bales, over 1,800 having been '.produced on the Caledonia farm. I tell you that what I said to you in September is true that with a dry June and a seasonable July a-big cotton crop is an assured fact. This season that was fully proved. I don't see how 'we can fur nish any Stateconvicts to work on roads this winter. They must bring in revenue. We need every cent." GLENN" GETS THE PLUM.
