Headed by CoL Ashley Home, of Clayton, the building committee of the Confeder ate widows home commission eamo here yesterday afternoon, and before leaving this morning, announced thai they had ehcn the Ramseur site in the western suburbs as a location for the home. . The property is situated on the south side of the Central Plank load, consists of five acres, snd i considered a very valuable tract. Two other sites were offered the commission by Messrs. John R. Tobr and D. W. Townsend and Majo' K. R. McKeithan. Diecussing the subject of selecting the town in which the borne was to be located Colonel Home said that even more than financial inducements of the local man, they were persuaded to put the institution here by the con viction, growing out of contact with the Fayetteviile people, that the wor thy women whom it is deigned to care for would be very well looked after by the folks here, especially the local daughters of the Confederacy, whom they knew to be enthusiastic about the home.

Final Curtain for Oldest Theater. Philadelphia, July 25. The oldest theater in the United States today is closed, and after 104 consecutive sea sons may never open its doors again. The famous old Walnut Street Thea ter at Ninth and Walnut streets has at last fallen under the ban of the Philadelphia fire inspector. Because of lack of equipment for fire protec tion and prevention its managers have been refused a license which would reopen it for its lOoth sea son in the fall. Next September will be the first September in over a cen tury that the doors of the Walnut Street Theater will not reopen. ,The Walnue Street Theater stage has been played on by all the cele brated actors and actresses from Ed mund Kean down to the present day crop of celebrities. It was the first structure of its kind built in Amer ica as a place of amusement. Erected on what was then the outskirts of little old Philadelphia in 1808, it was a large riding school" and the scene of eouestrial performances. Pepin and Breschard opened the building as the New Circus February 2, 1809. With the exception of the front wall which was rebuilt in ls'iH, the origi nal walls are still standing. When the novelty of the equestrial perform ances wore out, stage productions were added and the name changed to the Olympic Theater. It was in Jan. uary, 1812 that the first play was nroduced on the stage. It was "The Rivals." ? . , , Many great actors and actresses made their debut on the Olympic stage, among these being Edmund Kean, Edwin Forrest and othera lit tle mentioned in this, day.' Madam Modjesko, Fanny Davenport, Joseph Jefferson, Nat Goocwin, Richard Mansfield. Stuart Robson, Sir Henry Arving and William H. Crane i are some of the more notable ones wbo have appeared at the old playhouse and whose autographed pictures adorn the walla of the box office and lobby. -- Because of recent changes in the fire laws the managers are doubtful if it is possible to improve the structure. It is barely possible that a building will be raxed and a new modern theater erected on the site.. May Abolish Convict Labor in Mines. - Birmingham, Ala., 'July 26.
