THE HIGH SCHOOL
A Pretty Operetta Presented
Last Night at the Closing
Exercises.
'THK MOUNTAIN NYMPHS.
A Story Told In Song tod Appropriately
Staged Prol. Noble's Farewell Ad
dress to the School A Large
Audience in Attendance.
The Wilmington public schools
have closed for the Summer vacation
The la.st entertainment connected
with the closing exercises, that of the
Wilmington High School, was given
last night in the commodious hall of
that institution.
The feature of the evening was the
presentation of Tlio Mountain
Nymphs," a pretty operetta which
was appropriately staged with cliffs
and dells, with mountain shrub
bery. mos-scs, rocks, etc. Noticeable
high up on the most prominent cliff
was the profile of "The Old Man of the
Mountain" gazing fixedly upon the
scene which stretched out before him.
The play opened with a group of
Mountain Nymphs sporting and sing
ing near the shores of Kcho Lake. The
nymphs wore a bevy of live appropri
ately costumed young ladies, who did
their parts most excellently. Thev
were Miss Mildred Davis, Siltxi
Miss Kos.'i Iangslon, Alma; Miss
luise Banks, Vow, also Miss Lena
Sneotlen and Miss Alice Craft. Miss
Pavis, during the presentation of the
operetta, sang a number of solos in a
m.iiiin r which proved that she is both
talented and cultured us a vocalist.
A U-vy of li'Hinliwj Sch(Kl Girls
and another of MtiL, did their parts
in the presentation of the play with
much ease and grace. The Sc?iool Girls
were Miss iLilly Belle McLaurin,
.V'lico; Miss Kmma Stolter, Dora:
Miss May Galloway, Emiim: Miss
Mamie Bat-son. .lifd. Also, Miss
Palsy Sutton. Miss Stella Mcintosh,
Miss Neppie Borden and Charlotte
Stvn!i. The .V.ua.s were: Miss
Mattie Keene. .lice; Miss Palsy Mc-
Intire. Mnri: Miss Jennie Calder,
'nil mi . Miss Flossie Wallace, Bessie
Also. Miss Gertrude Bryan and
Miss Cornelia Filvaw.
It is needless to review the story as
told so prettilv and sweetly in song by
the players. Kvery feature was well
interpreted and the approval of the
large audience was evidenced by
liberal applause.
There were sweetly rendered cho
ruses by school girls, tiimphs and
maitls. Misses McLaurin, Stolter,
Galloway and Batson sang a quar
tette. There was a sweetly rendered
solo by Miss Keene, another by Miss
Mcljiurin. and still another by Miss
Stolter. Misses Galloway and Batson
were heartily applauded for a well
rendered duet and Misses Mclntire,
Jennie Calder and Wallace for a trio.
A feature of the last act of the op
eretta was the recitation, in song, of
their personal merits by the Ixxirtling
.si-nK. ji'r.s and inniils, in their de
sire tu ooiain a rewaru irotn tne
iiiiihs. Miss Keene, as a uuxlest
'mil' jx'fisant girl, did her part well
in the removal of the earth from the
rixits of a little tree pointed out by the
nyiiii.s, a task disdainfully rejected
by the srlntol girls and maids. The
awarding of a prize to her in the form
of .1 robe of honor, a golden chaplet and
ring's for her fingers, afforded another
elective scone. As did the closing
feature, the distribution, by Miss
Keene, of gems to mai'ls and school
fill, the while, all the company sing-
ng the chorus that "the hand that la-
Ixir did not scorn, with gems shall
others now adorn," etc.
Vfter the presentation of the play
Prof. Noble made a very feeling "fare
well ndtlrcss. in wnscn ne rcierreu 10
his seventven years stay in Wilming
ton ;is superintendent of the public
schools. He spoke appreciatively of
the assistance accorded him in his
work by Mr. Horace Bagg, Col. F.
W Foster. Mr. Walter Meares, Mr.
Sprunt, Col. J. P. Taylor. Mr. Samuel
Northrop. Mr. Kd. Borden, Mr. Jas. F.
Post. Jr.. Mr W. II. Chadbourn, and
:i!-'i to several who were activo in
the work, but are now deceased.
1I paid a high tribute to Wilmington
ohiMn-ii. (hel:iri:ig that they are a
long way ahead of any children he
has ever seen N'fore.
While Prof. Noble did not say in so
many words that this would Ik his hist
year in Wilmington and that he had
accepted the professorship at Chapel
Hill, yrt he left abundant ground for
such an inference.
The marshals in charge last night
were Norrum Sweeny, Neill McLau
rin. Joieyh Ixiughlin. Clifford Hop
kins, Albert We-s sell, Malcolm Parker,
Islie Wiggs, Archie Bullock and
Kdwin Moore.
Miss Bessie Burtt, one of Wilmiug
ton's most talented and cultured
pianists, served most acceptably dur
ing the presentation of the operetta,
as accompanist.

FOUND A BOX OF CRACKERS
Two Prisoners In New Hanover Jail
Make a Partial Confession
Hidden Stolen Goods.
Yesterday Deputy Buck Wright
went out to the mill of the Hilton
Lumber Company a,nd made a search
in several out of the way places
for stolen goods which, according to
confession made by Ed McDufFy and
Neol Boykin, both colored, are con
ccaJed thereabouts. His search was
rewarded only by the finding of a box
of crackers on which there appeared
the name of W. P. Woodcock who
until recently conducted a grocery
store near the mill. It is the supposi
tion that the negro stole the crackers
from Woodcock's store.
McDuffy and Boykin are in New
Hanover jail, charged with breaking
open Mr. J. n. Rehder's store, on
North Fourth street, the details of
which have been published in previ
ous issues of the Star. They claim
that there is a gang of thieves with
whom they have in some way been
connected, who have made a practice
of hiding stolen goods and also a quan
tity of money near nilton mill. No
money has yet been found. The ofli
cers think that the principal object the
negroes have in making such a confes
sion is to induce some one to carry
them out there to show the exact hid
ing place, so that they can have :
chance to make a dash for liberty.
FROM HONG KONG.
Mr. Jno. W. Bolles at Home Again from
the Far East.
Mr. Jno. W. Bolles, formerly of this
city, but of late years the represcnta
tive of the Standard Oil Company at
Hong Kong, China, arrived in the
city yesterday with his wife and
child. He was warmly greeted by his
friends here, of whom there are very
many.
Mr. Bolles has been away from Wil
mington since Christmas day, 1894,
and has since then had his headquar
ters at Hong Kong. On the Gth of
April, 1S07. he married Miss Noyes,
of Portland, Oregon.
Mr. Bolles had excellent oppor
tunities to see Dewey's licet at Hong
Kong and saw Dewey himself fre
quently. He also saw a good deal of
the Spanish officers among them the
captain of the Iteina Christina and
Spanish Consul Navarro, the latter
whom is described as being an es
pecially clever fellow.
Mr. Bolles came home by way of
the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, stop
ping for some time in Egypt. He will
remain here for about ten days, after
which he will return to Hong Kong.

FAYETTEVILLE VOLUNTEERS.
Departure of the Independent Company
for Raleigh to Join the Sec
ond Regiment.
Fayetteville Observer, May '4h.
The gallant soldier boj"s of the F. I
L. I. left on the 11.10 A. C. L. train
this morning for Raleigh, where they
go to join the Second North Carolina
regiment, United States Volunteers.
At 10.30 A. M. the command "fall in"
was given, and the company formed
in line at the armory, preparatory to
marching to the Coast L.iue depot.
Before leaving the armory, Kev. 1. W
Hughes, chaplain of the company
ottered an earnest and rervent prayer
for the blessings of God upon those
who were going forth to battle in their
country's cause; for their safe keeping
in the hour of danger; for their return
home in glorious triumph when the
war is over. Maior ii. H. Iluske then
addressed his command in a few brief
but well chosen and patriotic words,
which were met with rousing cheers.
The whole city turned out en masse to
bid the boys farewell, and properly so ;
'for surely a nobler or more gallant
band of men will not take up arms in
defence of their country's honor in the
present war.

A SNEAK THIEF.
Robbery at the Residence of Mr. Chas.
M. Whitlock.
Last night while Mr. Chas. M. Whit
lock and family were at supper some
unknown person or persons entered
the house, which is located on North
Fifth street, between Market and Prin
cess, and stole a purse belonging to
Mrs. Whitlock and containing a small
sum of money. A box of trinkets, the
property of the children, was also ear
ried off. It contained a quantity of
new nickels, a dollar coined in 1884
and never having been circulated, and
some other coins and valuables.
The theft was not discovered until
9.30 o'clock, several hours probably
after it was committed. The front
door was left open and doubtless a
bold thief saw his opportunity and
made the best of it.

MM0O1ATIC PARTY.
State Convention Meets To-day
in Raleigh-Anti-Fusion Dele
gates in the Majority.
THE POPULIST PROPOSITION.
Considered in Caucus Will be Referred
to the Convention Where It Will
Meet With Instant Death-There
Will be a Hot Time.
Special Star Telegram.
Raleigh, N. C, May-25. There
are several hundred delegates here,
and the indications are that the con
vention will be very large one.'
There is doubt now as the outcome
of the convention's deliberations.
The anti-fusion delegates are in
great majority and will sweep the
convention.
The convention will be called to
order at noon in the Academy of
Music. Julian S. Carr will be named
as temporary chairman, and the or
ganization is likely to be made per
manent. A great crowd of delegates
is swarming in the lobby of the Yar
boro and the talk against fusion is
strong.
To-night the Populist State Central
Committee formulated the following
letter, addressed to Chairman Manly.
The letter was presented to Mr. Manly
by a special committee, with the re
quest that he submit it to" the Conven
tion. It is as follows:
Populist Proposition.
"We, the ' conference committee
elected by the State Convention of the
People's party, have the honor here
with to present a copy of a series of
resolutions adopted by said Conven
tion, which resolutions, together with
this letter, we request you, - as chair
man of the Democratic State Executive
Committee, to lay before to morrow's
Convention for such consideration and
action as the judgment of your Con
vention may determine. This com
mittee was selected by the People's
Party State Convention, under the
fifth resolution of a series here pre
sented. If your Convention shall de
clare its endorsement of the principles
and purposes set forth in these resolu
tions, and favor co-operation with the
People's party in the coi'ning campaign
and carry the same into effect, your
Convention is requested to name a
committee to confer with us as to de
tails of the co-operation.
"We are now present in this city,
with headquarters at room No. 10 Park
Hotel, where we will await the action
of your convention upon this proposi
tion. "We have the honor to be, very re
spectfully, Signed Cyrus Thompson, Chairman,
J. B. Schulkeu, Z. T. Garrett, E. A.
Moye,James B. Lloyd, Morrison II.
Caldwell, committee."
Note See Star of the nineteenth
for resolutions adopted by the Popu
list's State Convention referred to. i (
Democratic Caucus.
The Populist letter is considered by
a caucus of prominent Democrats to
night. The sense of the caucus is that
the letter be referred to the conven
tion in order that the fusion question
come up, and that this movement be
setted forever.
Buck Kitchin is here fighting fusion
on the Populist terms. Congressman
Fowler is here, looking after his Con
gressional fences.
The Fourtli Judicial Convention
renominates Pou for Solicitor by accla
mation. Infamous and Odious.
Raleigh, N. C, May 25. As will
be seen by reference to the special of
our correspondent the question of
fusion will come before the convention
tomorrow. It was not expected in
this form, but it is best for the Demo
cratic party that the issue will be
made, as the proposition is so infamous
and so odious, that it will meet instant
death. It is proposed substantially
that 150,000 Democrats shall turn Pop
ulists at the invitation of, a committee
representing about 15,000 voters.
"There will be a hot time in the old
town" to-morrow. W. H. B.
By Telegraph tt the Moraine Star. :
Raleigh, N. C, May 25. The State
Democratic Convention meets here to
morrow, and already the city is swarm
ing with prominent Democrats from
every section of the State. There are
six judges of the Superior Court0to be
nominated or endorsed, as they are
first nominated by their respective dis
tricts.
The most interesting feature of the
convention will be the proposition to
co-operate with the Populist party in
the approaching election, there is a
violent opposition on - the part of a
large f action of the convention to such
co-operation, while there is a strong
and powerful faction favoring it. The
fight will be a very determined one,
and there seems now to be no proba
bility of an agreement to any com
promise by the two factions prior to
the meeting of the convention.
