He was fined ti and coats. Mr. P. M. Shannon- ' house, the negro's attorney, while' holding that (here Is no law under 'heaven by which a man can be arrest , ed for Intoxication under his own vine and fig tree, agreed to pay the costs, if these were assessed after the attor ney's own methoj of calculation, which . differ by a number of dollars from that employed by thar - court. - The , negro went to . Jail, bis , lawyer threatening in the meantime to swear out a writ of habeas corpus." , This has not been done as yet. The negro, it seems, had been at the house of a neighbor woman, tying up her- door, and performing similar , incus, men It was that somebody eise summoned the officer, but when he arrived the woman Imprisoned de- , flared It was all a Joke, so that cese'that Indescribable atmosphere charae was dismissed. . Nobody would swear! teristlc of the true Southern city tn. tnattne negro was drinking when the, act was done and the officer had seen him only later in his home. Hence the talk of a habeas corpus.

Miss May PenBeld, of New York, De lights a Select Audience of Char lotte MukIc LovemHM a Voice of Great Range and Volume. In spite of the unfavorable circum stances, the fact that bo much of in terest was going on. a fair sized and select crowd assembled last night to hear the concert of Miss May Pen field, of New York, who is the guest of Mrs. E. W. Thompson, .in DiU worth. The singer is endowed with a splendid-voice of great range and volume and her diction is clear. In a voice of such quality and range flexibility is generally not one of the strong points, but Miss Penljeld Is an exception and her coleratura Is fluent and clear. The programme was a very varied and interesting 'one and showed to advantage Miss Pentleld's versatility. Best, one might say, were the renditions of "Elsa's Dream," by Wagner, and "Nymphs and Fawns," by Bemberg, for compositions ,,qt greater dramatic requirements seem best adapted to a voice as powerful and voluminous as Miss Penfield'a. Her Interpretation showed careful study In every instance, and there Is no' doubt that she has the material to make a great linger. The audi ence received the singer warmly and heartily applauded the different se lections, in , many instances calling enthusiastically for an encore. The dueti "Passage Birds' Farewell," was truly one of the most delightful numbers on the programme, and the voices of the , Misses Penfleld and Oates blended well and seemed in perfect harmony. Miss May Oates was In excellent voice, which demon strated again what it has "so oten been praised for, quality and timbre. Mr. Henry Anderson, who Is a most able accompanist, lost entirely his own Individuality and sustained and developed to the end the singer's In tentions. : ' The recital was given In order to help the piano fund of the T. W. C. A. The collections made for this good cause amounted to 188. s v PLAYERS HIGHLY PLEASED. Declare Charlotte the Best Town They Ktrock En Tour "Madam Butter fl'' a Great Bucoeia.f'--r-'-r';?

The city, the hotels and presed an tne jwrnoeri mt wra- pany, whovdid not not hesitate to ex press. themselves, eiyrngf that Char lotte was the most delightful city In which they toad yet stopped n , tour. All of which, parenthetically apeklng or writing, will do the town no harm. On the contrary, It will do a vast de&l of good from the . theatrical stand point, If from no other.. , - . , The Chrlstmaa ' Cantata - at ' Trinity Church Laet Mght. Thoroughly delightful ? was the Christmas cantata, "Santa's Success." presented , last night at Trinity Methodist church under the direc tion of Prof. R. I Keesler, the or ganist of the church. - More than a halt hundred children and young peoDle participated, each and every . taking study and . training. . The . re- milt could not nave been otnerwwe than gratifying to audience and pa rents. : The entertainment was pleas antly varied, being so arranged that many diverse taatea were catered to and pleased The singing especially was In excellent time and rendered with all the sweetness and peculiar melodv found in no other exactly as in children's musuj.
