WILL JOIN HIS WIFE.
Uonrv Was Vary Much Incansed at he
Charge Made Against Iter1.
Our readers will remember that a
darkey by the narae of Henry Berry
was arrested in. Durham, upon the
c large of stealing wearing apparel
from Prof. R L Flowers, of Trin
ity College. The Greensboro Record
has the following to say of Rerry
and his wife:
'"A good many people will recall
Henry Berrv, whose wife was ac
cused, a year or two ago, with burn
ing a house on Percy street. She
was arrested at the time on a charge
of larceny and at court was convict
ed and sentenced to the penitentiary.
Her husband, Henry Berry, was
very much incensed at the charge
of arson and after her couvictiou on
the larceny charge, he moved to Ral
eigh to be near her, but before he
left another house was burned. Since
this time Berry has lived in Raleigh
but has worked most of the time in
Durham at Trinity College, going
back and forth.
'"Some time ago various things be
gan to be missed from the college,
but no one suspected Berry until
last week, when Officer Woodall, of
Raleigh, searched his house, finding
a lot of stolen articles, and now
Berry is in a fair way to join his
wife "
The Widow Goldstein.
Russell Sage and Hetty Gre-jn are
the central figures of the farce The
Widow Goldstein which is the at
traction at Academy of Music Friday
night. The enmity existing be
twecu them was utilized by Lillian
and Lawrence Marstou for the pur
poses of a travesty on Wall street
methods. The actor who takes the
part of Cyrus Russell makes up in
exact imitation of the celebrated
philanthropist and the Widow
Goldstein is a breathing represen
tation of the richest woman in the
world. The gentlemau carries his
representation to the exteut of pre
senting Mr. Sage just as he is with
all his peculiarities of speech and
h s appetite for apples. The study
of Mrs. Green ends with the make
up. Her part calls for a hebrew
dialect. She is the type of that
noblest and loveliest of woman
whose virtue and honor has pre
served the hebraic race intact from
generation to generation Of course
a play dealing with Sage and Mrs.
Green must have for its environ
ment Wall street.
Sowing the Wind.
One of the theatrical sensations of
recent years was the appearance a
couple of seasons ago, on the Lon
don stage, of Sydney Grundy's
emotional melodrama, "Sowing the
Wind." Subsequently it was pro
duced in New York and other lead
ing cities of this country, and every
where won universal attention. Its
treatment of a delicate social pro
blca) was so daring, that it almost
took one's breath away at first, but
the seriousness and honesty of its
purpose were so apparent that its
audacity was overlooked and its
wholesome, moral tone was admitted
by all. There is no more popular
play on the stage today, and the peo
ple i" this city are so fortunate in
hav'ng an opportunity to witness its
production. It will be the bill at
the Metropolitan Opera "House Mon
day evening.

futile. Ue came here from North
Carolina. Hughes was addicted to
the habit of excessive cigarette
smoking, and it is feared by his
friends that this affected his mind
seriously and caused him to wander
away. Through appeals of the wife
and friends the story has been sup
pressed by. the local papers.
