the play within , itself should have
drawn more to the playhouse, for the
opinion of various persons was that
it was by far the best home talent
production ever; offered here. Misses
Burkheimer stated that the cast was
the best they had ever assembled and
the two yourtg ladies have had quite a
bit of experience along this line.
-The audience,- while woefully small,
was appreciative, and various num
bers on the program were repeatedly
encored by the crowd, which evidently
knew real talent and appreciated it.
The play is to be offered a second
time, and Friday of next week has
been decided On as the date. The
second production is for the double
purpose of giving those who failed to
attend a second opportunity of seeing
what the young people in their midst
are capable of, and because the pro
moters are very anxious to lend
every assistance possible in helping
the Confederateyeterans on to the
Washington, reunion, which is to be
held in June. ;
The - play wapnderfully good
perhaps the very best home talent
production ever staged jn Wilmington,
many of the individual numbers being
worth the price' admission alone
This was especially true Of the danc
ing of Miss Margaret - Walton, who
appeared in three dances- that were
I distinct features and which captivat
ed her audience. The Hawaiian
dances were skilfully executed and
were most refreshing, for they showed
a distinct departure from the course
usually followed by persons staging
amateur productions.
The show was staged in two acts
and was not a light comic opera, but
a heavy musical show that compared
very favorably with the average musi
cal show that visits the city. The 24
All of theV. attractions win. be open as
usual tonight, and arrangements have
been completed ; to accommodate a
bumper crowd. Wilmington people
have been thoroughly "Kennedteed",
and. are going to take andvtange of the
opportunity to see this wonderful
amusement enterprise.

DIED SUDDENLY.
Mr.
F. J. Sellers Passed Away This
Morning Early Funeral.
Mr. F. J. Sellers, aged 67 years,
died suddenly at his home, No. 1106
Parsley avenue, this morning at 7:30
o'clock. On account of the fact that
the deceased was found dead Coroner
A. S. Holden was called to view the
body. He turned it over to Mr. W.
E. Yopp, undertaker, to have it pre
pared for burial. The funeral will be
from the residence tomorrow morning
at 11 o'clock.
musical numbers were rendered in a
most pleasing manner, all dull mo
ments being eliminated and the audi
ence kept in a happy .frame of mind
continuously. The costumes were of
an elaborate nature, producing a most
pleasing effect. The theatre had heen
decorated in the National colors with
the Stars and Bars in evidence.
The work of the Misses Burkheimer
as playwrights and their technical
ability in staging a production on
such an elaborate scale was very
pronounced in the production of the
play. While the greater part of the
credit is due the Misses Burkheimer
the show . could never have attained
the success that it so justly deserved
with any alteration of the cast of
characters. The selections of the
Misses Burkheimer could not have
been improved on and it is hoped
that the second production will be
seen by an audience that will tax
the. capacity of the house.

On or about March 21st I was in Mr. B. A. Merritt's,
office and J. F. Hobbs was there, he was almost drunk,
and was cursing his brother because he was supporting
Mayor Moore, and said he knew he was bought off as he y.
was a strong Merritt man up until night before last, and ;
I tell you they are spending money right and.left, and L
can get on to it. I asked him how he. was going to get on ::
to it, and he said W. J. Bradshaw was against Merritt and y
that he owed Bradshaw a bill, arid that he could go to'hiht
v; and tell hlrri if he yould.ee Mayor Moore an4 get $1 0.00
for him he might apply it to his account, and I am surev
he will do this, as Fwas npt able to pray him:last Saturday
and he wiir expect $2.00 Ithis Saturday. ' Mri Merritt said
if he did this and go't a receipt to plfease let liim haye. it
and he would make it hot for the one he caught spending;,
money in that manner. I have read the affidavit made by ,;
