',' ; . i Miss - Bell - Frommie, who '" takes the part of ' the prima donna has a voice of remarkable tone " and technique and - her - ennunciation is beyond ' the slightest criticism. She opens the act with a very sympathetic song entitled "I Miss' You Most of All." This selec. tion is rendered in such a manner tha.t the audience sits almost spellbound and sh receivedya number of encores on this last night. Another selection; "She's Waiting for You to Love Her All the Time," is also rendered! in a manner which makes the critics sit up and take , notice, and combined with the -catchy air and words of the song it makes a real hit. Mr Mayer, as the stage carpenter, also gets off some good ones and keeps his audience laughing all the time. . : Morris and Parker, with a black face, act, are also here again and are making another hit with New Bern audiences, Both teams give their last performance tonight.

That would not, in my opinion, meet the approval of the people nor would it rdach the root of the evil. During my recent visit to North Carolina, I talked with quite a number of bankers and business men and found great- interest in the subject of financial legishtion. While there was considerable feeling that the bill which has recently passed the Houses should : in many respects be amended. I found a gejieral sentiment in favor of the ! fundamental . principles of that bill and a feeling that safety required: that the present makeshift legisla- i tion upon the subject of banking and currency shouiJ be sypplanted by a more scientific and modern system. If any one supposes the people are not behind President Wilson in his ; program of legislation they are ' badly mistaken"""" j While 'I do mot regard the currency question as a partisan issue, still there is a feeling t(hat the Democrat party was committed to legislation -of this character and that it ought to embody Democratic thought upon that subject.

Washington, Oct. 31. President Wil son let it be known today that he was waiting for affairs to take definite shape in Mexico as a result of the election last Sunday and that the United States gov ernment would not act until informed in detail of what took place at the polls. Recently the President, in a note to the Mexican foreign office, transmitted by Charge O'Shaughnessy, declared that the election of October 26 would not be considered constitutional by the United States. How long the Unitejl States will wait for the returns is not known. It is believed that several days, perhaps weeks, will elapse before the Huerta government, handicapped by difficulties of communication, will be able officially to record the result, though November 10 was the day set for counting the ballots. No positive information as to this government's future course was di vulged at the White House. The Presi dent informed those who discusse 1 the situation with him that he had not decided whether the next step would be made by words.or action. He is a work on a plan from which he hopes tif solve the troubles of Mexico. One of its features is a formal statement of the1 aims and purposes of the United States its stand against the influence of material interests, in Latin-American affairs, its devotion to the cause of constitutional government of this hemisphere and its belief that a fair and free election with safeguards and guarantees must be held in order to establish a legal authority in the southern republic. This statement of the government's attitude, already outlined in the Presi dent's speeches at Mobile and Swarth more, in all probability will be communi cated to Mexico and a copy of these views transmitted to foreign govern ments generally, as an expression of policy by the Washington adminiatrn tidrt. Whether the statement of the gov ernment's policy will be addressed to John Lind or Charge O'Shaughnessy for presentation to the Huerta administra tion is not apparent. It has been suggest ed that future communications also may be addressed in some way to the constitutionalists, thereby recognizing them as a factor in the problem of pacification. In official circles there was no definite information current on the administra tion's plans. Many conversant with the situation insisted that any new plan must have as its fundamental' basis, some method of eliminating Huerta be fore the constitutionalists would ever consent to talking peace or elections.
