Hew Ben Has at Opera House, bat What to Wanted Is a Theatre. Last Wednesday's night performance proved conclusively, If proof had been needed, that the people of this city ap preciate high class entertainments, and will liberally patronize such entertain ments. In fact the amusement taring public of this city and vicinity want only the best, and If any other hind of perform ance Is brought here, It Is going to fall flat upon the opera house management, In a financial way. It is Just such an attempt to show a large company, as on Wednesday night, that demonstrates the lack of stage and audience room In the present opera housebuilding. The public will pay occasionally for such a performance as was given here this week, but It is only a question of time when those who can and will pay to see a first class attraction, will de mand tbst the company hare stage spsce to give Its performance, and all who want to attend can have seats 'provided for them. The poor show is not wanted here, and the good show must be given ample facilities to give Its full display, while those who want to go can be provided with seats. New Bern needs a theatre. It has out grown the opera house. COVE. March 27. Mr. T. B. Ipock spent Sundav at Dobb's with Capt. 8. E. Sw ell. Mr. Lonnte Parting of Chapel Bill spent Sunday here. Mrs. W. D.

Oa Saturday bight last, eight JmM held ap a car la Atlantic City Ward, Bred ssveral shots through the windows, assaulted the conductor aad motorman, took the car from their charge and sent It off at full speed with ao one aboard. The car continued on lis mad career un til the trolley jumped from the wire and smashed the pole, when it came to a standstill. It la Indeed wonderful that ao lives were lost as buggies, wagons, etc., are at all time to be met on this road. The fourteen passengers on the car were compelled to alight and get to their destination, as best they could. In this case two of the miscreants only were ar rested; result, both held for the grand jury, one fined $100 00 for carrying a pUlol. Two other cars were wrecked on the samo evening! and had to be taken to the barns under police protection, and all this Is taking place after the board of ar bitration had as we supposed settled the dispute. The verdict In the Wilcox case came In the nature of a surprise to many peo pie in this section. The opinion of some Is that the whole thing was a mob trial and a mob verdict, tho contention being that the jury were afraid to make any other disposition of the case. And why not have lynched Wilcox at first and saved the county the enormous ex pense of a trial, that was nothing but a farce T There being no evidence to jus tify tuch a verdict. Our community is down for so many Improvements that It.. Is Impossible to chronicle all of thim. A new eight story business block is to be erected op posite i he Atlantic Hotel site, and a seven story business block on the site adjoining.

All kinds of manufacturing plants are to bo oper ated, dwellings heated, business houses, offices and stores supplied with light and heat.

Mr. Herbert Smith, a young maa of KenansvOle, N. C, well known in Wil mington, arrived hero last night at! o'clock - and registered at The Ortoa. After supper ho attended the perform ance by the Graa Opera Company at the opera house and wben he came oat ho missed a big pocket book which he car ried on his InslJe coat pocket oa tho right aide. He found that a slit had beea cot across the bottom of his pocket from the outside and the pocket book thus extracted. The pocket book con tained about $ 1,800 In currency and about $1,000 In checks and draft which be brought to Wilmington to deposit for himself and others. Mr. Smith reported his loss at police headquarters and city detective Robert Green waa also notified. The officers worked on the case all night but had lit-J tie to go upon, as Mr. Smith Is not sure whether he lost the money on the train while coming here or after he reached the city. At first he said the last time he felt the pocket book and knew he had It was when near Wilmington bat after wards he said be recollected that he had It after he got oft the train. He never missed It till after ho came out of the opera hou.se. me -nut uentiemaii. A Frenchman visiting a fashionable concert garden in St. Petersburg some years ago stopped a passing Russian officer and asked for a light for bis cigar, which bad gone out The officer, after a moment a hesitation, banded his own cigar to the Frenchman and look ed on with a smile of resignation at the hitter's frantic efforts to get a light "You are French, I believe?" said the officer. Not only French, but from Tou- louseP "Is this your first visit to Russia?" "Yes." "Ah, now I understand why you did not salute the tall gentleman In uni form who was with me wben you ask ed me for a light" 'The tall gentleman? 1 did not notice him. Who is her "The emperor," replied the officer, at last regaining possession of bis cigar. "Are you sure?" "Perfectly. He happens to be my father." Fom'a VTlt. The following Is one of the many stories told about Charles James Fox, tlie English statesman and orator: Mr. Hare, envoy to the court of Po land, occupied rooms ln the statesman's diggings." He was n great personal friend and Indeed a man of very sim ilar tastes. They were each the ob jects of continual Inquiry on the part of tradesmen and others. One day Fox, looking out of the upper .window, descried two men watching tbe bouse and waituur. With a genial smile, no shouted, "Pray, gentlemen, will yoa tell me, are yoa Fox bunting or Hare bant ing today?" The bailiffs were so tickled that they .went away. Sousa's El Capitan. The presentation of the above opera last night at the Masonic Opera House was witnessed by an audience tbat tested the seating capacity of the house on the main floor and gallery. It was a critical audience, and its hearty reception of the Jules Grsu Opera Company, showed that tbe opera was well sung and well acted. It Is not necessary to go into explana tion of El Capitan, for Its musical num bers and comical situations are famlllt r to all theatre goers. Lsst night's audience showed Its ap preclatlon of the solos and choruses, by demanding Beveral recalls of the more popnlar songs, to which the singers very graciously responded. The Grau Opera Oompany camo here highly praised, and its performance last night showed that the praise was -well bestowed. MERE MEN. The four greatest men of today, says Henry Laboucbere, are Marconi, Roent gen, Edison and Carnegie.

A Far Reaching- Light ' A blinding beam of electric light thirteen inches wide, to a new warning to ships off the dangerous shoals of Cape Batteraa. Diamond shoal light ship, No. 71, has been fitted with a 8,000 candle power searchlight the first of its kind ever placed at sea as a mariner's beacon, and it is expected to bo visible forty miles, twenty-two miles farther than the regular beacon lights of the lightships can be seen. The chief ele ment in the effectiveness of the new light Is found In the fact tbat the light ship never being at rest, the beam of light will sway in varying angle and al ways b distinguishable. If expecta tions are not disappointed Sandy Book, Fire Island and Nantucket shoals will be equipped with similar electrical ap paratus.

All persons wishing good tobacco seed can get same by calling at Planters Warehouse, New Bern, N. 0. The most dangerous reptiles of India' and Africa are the cobras. No snakes, not even rattlesnakes, are more dread ed, and with reason. As tho rattle snake warns the ear by its significant "rattle," so the cobras warn the eye by the mode in which they expand tho up per part of the body when Irritated. This expansion is produced by a sud den movement of tbe ribs of that re gion of tho body. Usually they incline backward, but the antmal wben Irritat ed makes them stand out at right an gles to tho body and so, of course, forces outward tbe skin which coven them. Thus tbe neck, or part just be hind tho bead, becomes greatly ex panded and flattened, as It also does. though tn a less degree. In the Austra lian btacfcsnake. This expansion la called a hood, and so the animals are - called - hooded snakes. In some of them then is on tbe back of tho hood a dark mark, something like a pair of spectacles, and they have therefore been called specta ! tmiikra. NEW BERN PRODUCE MARKET.
