''Captain Alvarez in the hands of that prince of romanticlHts, Paul Gilmore, went well yesterday mat inee and evenliiK at the Academy of Muftk1. ? v The play hau more In it than moral equations, the rlilht outcome of love affaJrH, the triumph of vir tue pvoV vliliany and the Btirrlng of the fanciful in men and women. Ah a romantic drama It hat* kinship to melodrama, hut It's real American ism sot to march time. It. haw the dlatinct virtue of Ills- ' torlcal accuracy and bids for thei favor of thosfe who care for nation- i ul integrity. Coming as it does with American affairu somewhat In - flux, tho appeal is all the stronger and ono likes his Amorleaninm after tho spell of tho nctoru begins to wear. ' Mr. Gilmore has played number- 1 Io*h parta with manifest fit iu them all. He excels in the romantic pieces. And about him ho has gathered a Veritable bunch of p&n Hiew, not merely pleasing to tho eyo, but people of action. He is carrying u real star, a debutante, to be sure, but a young woman of great native modesty and of splen did ability. Sho is Miss Mabel Scot, who is quite tho most attractive young woman who has been seen on tho stage here this season. In stage costume and aet off by tho scenic investiture, she Is an exceed ingly handsome girl. Hut she is not carried for her looks. She looks tho part but what is better, she plays it. Never mind about tho plot, which is altogether consistent and worth while, but In tabloid it is just the adventure of a long repressed people by a Btupid and tyrannical despotism, with warm eyent? meeting him along his des perato path and artistic love-mak ing to furnish the real incentive. Mr, Gilmore plays Robert W. Walnwright, tho American, Mies Scott, "Bonlta" and Miss Hazel Free hmn, "Mercedes." Tho subordinate parts are not inconsequential and in them, Miss Free mart and her associates furnish a support which is adequate and even strong. The above is taken from laat Sunday's Raleigh News and Observ er. Mr. Gilnoore and company will be seen here next Monday night. Valentino Party. A lovely function of the past week was given at the home of Mrs. E. C. Zemp with Misses Etta Zemp and Louise Blakeney as hostesses. The rooms were lovely in Valen tine attire ? crimson hearts mingled with the polished green of the ivy, while the graceful Southern smllax festooned the walls, and the state ly palms and feathery erns were at tractively placed in every (nook and corner, and quantities of flowers were used everywhere. The amuse ments of the evnlng consisted of a guessing contest, games, progressive conversation, etc. In the attractive dining room an .elegant supper was served. Those enjoying tho occa sion wore Misses Mary Villepigue, Hal BlaJkemey, Horie Arthur, Annie Workman, l^uise Shannon, Eliza beth DuBose, Messrs. Ned Williams, Columbia, J. (5.. Richards, Kershaw, Arthur Humphries, . It. F. Simpson, John Villepigue, Ernest Zemp, Miller Boykin. , Without the Best in Groceries Your Cooking Cannot Be a Success.'

What editor has not had Irate correspondents send him "cussln' ' letters or come charging Into the sanctum ? if there ia any such place ? and jump on him ? *- figuratively Speaking ? with both feet for "ruin ing" that precious production on the cows cropping his shrubbery or bis neighbors' chickens flying over the fence? The epistle may have covered a half column "set solid" and the ruinous damage may have consisted of a misplaced comma, or a pair of transposed letters or a dropped preposition; but the aggrieved au thors rel'usb to bo monlllfied or appeased, says the Tampa Times. He thinks that "printers" are fools ojr.iiends and either spoiled his chef d'ouvre for want of sense or destroyed it out of pure deviltry. And then how often do wo hear the casual reader say while glanc ing ovor a paper, "I don't seo what In the world makes these newspa per people so careless. They make perf ct noi sense of the most se- ! rious matters sometimes when it j would have been just as easy to j have It right." 1 Perhaps if thn same censors. knew something of the work of the coin positor and tho proofreader they would be rnoro sparing In their | blame and lestf severe in their e.en- I s. 4 re. Just to give them an idea*. let -utt take' nr~fcv figures: The mini mum number of pages the Times 'ever '.publishes is 12; each page has seven coiumns, making 8 4 col umns in the paper; each column h s 225 lines; each line has an av erage of 33 letters, puuctuatiou points and spaces. There are on | an_.averugef^ in a 12-page issue of the Times, about 4 6 columns of reading matter to approximately 3 8 columns of advertisenjonts. In the 46 columns of reading matter ? taking no account of the advertise ments- (here are 10,350 lines and 341,560 letters, etc. When it is remembered that ev ery one of these letters in linotype composition, audi as is used on the Times, is uiado by the touching of a separate key on the machine ? j it' it was hand composition every letter and punctuation point and J space would have to be lifted sing- j ly from the case and placed in the ; stick by rhe 'fingers- ' an idea of i the ability to error can be faintly formed from the fact that the: t ill h .of a single wrong kry means a wrong ietter, the touching of J two right, keys in the wrong order j means transposed letters. Can it be expected that men can : go on day after day making 34 1,- j 5 50 separa'c motions every day | and twice tliut number iioiin? day* ? j and ' make every one of them right ? j Yet that is just what It. means to ' set up a newspaper the size of the Times, at its smallest, entirely with- j out errors. Well, it may be said, the proof reader ought to correct the errors. Yes, that's what we have them for; j a d they do correct hundreds. But | even they are human after all,, nnd i exerc'slng the utmost care and s finning these columns and lines | and letters as closely as possible ! two and in some cases three times . errors will get by the best of them. ? It is probable that the entirely er- j rorletf! paper hn-s no\"Cr~ yel been i p inted. As long as the human fac- 1 tor 'n (he preparation of a news-.J paper continues to be the principal; on" ? and that, of course, must be', always ? there will continuo to be , "typographical errors." ? Now that you know something j more about the opportunities for : and tho liabilities to orrors, don't ! you <liink that you will make some allowance hereafter for thfc. few trifling mistakes that tho linotype man makes nnd that get by the proofreader, even though they may, as jou think, spoil your pet prrt doetlcn?
