WILMINGTON, N. C, TUESDAY, MARCH
iins Cray in ratmlle.
Miss Ada Gray will open her second
engagement in this city this season on
Thursday night in Camille. Since her
appearance hero some two months ajjo
the company supporting her has been
strengthened by three well known actors.
Miss Gray iv a ' frVorito with
the the. tre going public of this city and
will no doubt bo greeted by a good audi
ence. The Atlanta Contiitution says:
Notwithstanding the inapgaral ball, a
very brilliant audience greeted Miss
Gray at the opera house lafct night inker
rendition of Caxrulle." This - wasi, no
doubt due to the success she scored on
the evcuing previous in her rendition of
"East Lynne." Wo do not think words
sufficiently strong can be found to coin
mend the acting of this charminj? ac
tress. Frm her first appearance cn the
stage, as a light hearted, frivolous co
quette, to the end where she dies aban
doned almost by all save him whom . she
devotedly "loved, she was equal to the
task. Miss Gray is without a doubt a
lady of great ability, one destined soon to
go higher and achieve triumphs already
won by others. Her pronunciation is
faultless, her stage conduct superb, her
wardrobe excellent, her appearance mag
niGcent. Jler support is first-class in ev
ery particular, for. Murphy as "Ar
mand Duval" was rery pleasing. He is
a painstaking actor, and in every scene
rendered the star excellent support- Mr.
Strong as "Count DeVarvette" was his
equal. While his part did not afford
him great scope, yet it evidenced that
he was an actor. Mr. Benson as ' Gas
ton," Mr. Brooks, Misses Thropp, Hull,
Baldwin and Strong,. added much to the
play, and were all very careful.

Something that ! Needed.
There is much needed improvemen
at the Court House which, we learn, ear
worthy Board of County Commissioners
have had under consideration for some
time, although they have not decided
finally and positively yet as to when they
will make this improvement. Many of the
original wills of deceased persons,togeth
er with the executors', . administrators'
and guardians' returns, dating for a peri
od of 80 or 90 or possibly 100 years back
are kept in wooden cases in the Supe
rior Court Clerk's office and in a build
ing which is not considered by any means
fire proof. Now,in the event of a fire there
at any time it is probable that many of
these Valuable papers, which could not
be replaced, would be lost either by re
moval or by the fire, and we understand
that the Board have under consideration
the propriety of running a wing out from
the Clerk's front office aid making it a
two story addition, the lower part to be
made entirely fire proof, where the re
cords, referred to above, can be kept in
perfect safety, while the npper
story can be . utilized: as a
- ....
Grand Jury room, instead of appropriat
ing Maj. Dunham's office, Clerk of the
Criminal Court,for that purpose, as is the
case new. me uierK oi tne urimmai
Court could then use as his office the
present room where are kept the papers
by the Superior Court Clerk referred to
above. The standard keeper, who has
now nothing but a sort of a box for an
office, could move into the office at pres
ent occupied by the Clerk of the Crimi.
nal Court and the Graad J ury conjointly.
It :s not so much the convenience of
these different county officials that we
are considering in discussing this matter
as it is the safety and preservation of the
important records of wills, executors,
administrator's and guardian's accounts.
The county, we learn, has the money to
make these improvements and we trust
a favorable consideration will be : given
o our suggestion.
Soring Races.
The old race track ai tao Hopkins
place, about 4 miles from' this city, is be
ing put in thorough order and a trotting
club has been formed in this city. In a
very shest time thet ante bellum spring
races will be indulged in and efforts are
being made to get noted horses to trot on
the Hopkins track. There are several
very fast horses in this city and even if
horses from other places can not be in
duced to come here there can and will be
some fine racing between horse3 owo?d
in the city.

rest and comfort destroyed by complica

give nature's remedy, Kidney-Wort, a
trial they would be speedily cured. It
acts on both organs at the same time
and therefore completely fills the bill for
a perfect remedy. If you have a lame
