Not in many a day haj there been such a large assemblage in the Masonic Opera H6use as there was last night to witness the performance of "A Wom an's Honor" presented by local talent supporting Prof. J. Henri Bourdelais. The vast auditorium of the theatre was packed to its utmost capacity and everv seat in the balcony was taken long before the curtain rose on the first act. It has often been said that the productions, staged by local talent were not as ente-taining as those put on by p-ofessionals. I n a way this is true, but those who saw the play last night were sincere in their asser tions that there neve- has been a piece more ably p.-esented on a local stage and there was not a one present who did not think that they had received double ind triple value for their money. fhe plot of the play, which is in four acts, centers around the struggles of a woman to overcome greit odds and to preserve her honor at all costs. She succeeds in doing this and all ends well before the curtain drops on the fast, act the audience has seen human life enacted with all of its tragedies and pitfalls, with all its glamur and glit ter Kin. aside and the true soul of the characters displayed. Prof. J. Henri Bourdelais, who had the leading part; took the role of Gen eral Mark Lester, hero of the Cuban ten years war. This was Prof. Bour delais' first public appearance in New Bern, but it is safe to sdy that if he heeds the appeals of the theatre-goers that he will often be seen behind the footlights. Mrs. Bourdelais, who took theprinciapl female role of Olive, one of Robert. Glenn's diughters, was superb in her work and at times the audience wondered if they were not witnessing an actual occurrence rather than a reproduction. ' f n the daal rolq of Pedro Mendez, brother-of General -Lester and Robert Glenn, W. F. Dunn wis beyond com parison. One who was . not acquainted with Air. Dunn would, feel positive that he': was a professional :, actor, and a good one it that; D. R. Morris, as Dr, Garcia, a surgeon, and R. A, Richardson Jr., as Gilbert- Hall, a medical doctor, had difficult parts but handled them in such a manner as to win the approval of all, t James : B. Dawson,' well known to every New Bern theatre-goer, was seen in a new role last night; that of Ebene- zer, Robert Glenn.'s butler. Mr. Dawson was in his usual "funny'' mood and from the time that he first appeared on the stage, until his final exit, he succeeded in keeping the audience convulsed with mirth.- Garrison R.,Farrow9 Gregory Grimes," Lester's private secretary, also furnished his share of the merrimert of the evening. First his loe. miking was ludicrous then alter' manriagc his escapades were of such a nature that one could" not' refrain from taking - good, hearty -laugh every , few, seconds while he was 'on, : the stage. ..-v. v Anotne- favorite i with ' New- Bern audiences had an important part in the cast and, usual won much applause. This was Mr, George Stratton, as Sally; daughter ' of Robert Glenn., M.-e Str itton c- has marked ability .;. along this line and her portraying of differnet characters - art falways " true ; to life Miss . Eula Cole as ; Maria,; the wiffe of Pedro Mendez, . had a difficult part, but she handled ; it in a tbduorghly capable manner. One of the' features of the evening was a recitation between the first and second act entitled "The Steamer Chair,", by Little Miss Zora Styron who, mired in a. white male costume made a "hit"' with the audi- ence. - There were many.' who could not witness the : performance -on account of the lack of room and the cast decided to reproduce the . play tonicht. The performance last night was for the bene fit of the Peoples Concert , Band. The i. prof. p. mx Professor Paul Ehrlich is a noted German physician who is devoting his efforts to discover a remedy that will "be fatal to all disease derma hut which will not In the slightest injure the patient.

Rvi- dence that the Mexican rebels de fending the city of Juarez, just a cross the border from here, f.on sidcred all clanger of furthe- it- tack from the government forces as past was given today by tlie Gig ging up of mines near the Juarez Jockey Club which is to open racing season to morrow md the destruction of barbed wire defenses erected to hold the feder- ds in check. General Villa, the rebel commander, still maintained that the federals were n lull and shameless retract, over the hills, their trains and field pieces in his possession. No tiring had been heard to the south of Juarez tin morning. fhus it appears thai after thirty hours of fighting the rebel captors of the citv had flung back the federil as sault and would hold the border city without dispute. General Villa said he would pursue the federals at once but he is known to lack ammunition and will be forced to delay regardless of his inclinations in the matter. He maintained that a sufficient rebel force is now besieging Chihuahua to prevent the rcireating federals making their w ly into the State capital. If he has captured all their trains the enemy is left without food joc means of trans portation in a desert and two hundred miles from its base. The total de-id in the battle are es timated at about MM; the wounded many more than this. This was mere guesswork as no .Americans have been over the field and a fog was hanging over everything this morning. The American Red Cpss has failed to re spond to the appeals for aid made by the rebel officials1, yesterday, and an effort will be made to obtain money from other sources :v to enable theEl Paso doctors and 'nurses to for the wounded So far only men wounded on the head and body have been ca-ed for. Broken arms- and legs and flesh wounds have received no attention. The latter wounded bandaged their hurts as best they could on the field with clothing, 'hand kerchiefs or any thing that would staunch the flow of blood. In several instances men were seen to cut bullets trom their own Hesh with pocket knives th it had been dulled by usage in camp and upon the march.
