BRITISH GUARD BAND Will be by Far the Most Notable Attraction Here This Week. PRICES REDUCED YESTERDAY. Murray and Mack Coming Friday Night. , Grand Log Rolling by Woodmen of the World Sorosis Meetings. Easter Germans. The present week, despite the fact that it is in the midst of Lent, gives promise of much gaity, especially in the way of Opera House and other en tertainments. ; The most notable event will be the concert by the - celebrated British Guards Band, the Royal band of England, on Thursday night, an occa sion most eagerly anticipated by music-loving people in this city and section. As previously announced, special rates have been granted by the. Atlantic Coastline from all neighboring towns, and the proba bility is that there will be a large out-of-town patronage. One price now prevails for reserve seats. It was announced that there would be two prices, $1.50 and $1, as stipulated in the contract, but yester day Manager Schloss, of the Opera House, learned that the band intend ed playing in other cities in the State at lower figures. He at once tele graphed the management of the band that the prices for this city would have to be reduced, "contract or no contract." The band management wired back to make a change, and so the regular price of $1 will prevail. The advance sale of seats will open at Gerken's in the morning. The band gave a concert in Char lotte Friday evening and Yesterday's Observer accords them the highest praise, devoting almost a column to the matinee and evening perform ances.'. Lieutenant Dan Godfrey's British Guards Band is conceded to be' the best that plays on the other side of the At lantic and has no superior on this side. There will be one other attraction at the Opera Bouse this week, "Flanni gan's Ball," played by the famous and original Irish comedians, Murray and Mack, supported by a cast of farce comedy favorites. They will be here on Friday night "Flannigan's Ball" is one of those plays written for the one purpose- of creating amusement And it is claimed that a succession of laughs prevail throughout the per formance.

OKphant." j On Tuesday night the famous old Homestead quartette will entertain in the Y. M. C. A auditorium under the joint auspices of the Star Course and Wilmington Lyceum. It is a high class attraction and will doubt less attract a large audience. Several Easter society events are al ready much talked of, especially the probable germans, however no dates have yet been settled upon for any of them. Of course L' Arioso German Club and L'Agile Cotillon Club will both give grand .Easter germans.

A Star reporter, accompanied by two police officers, was the first to reach" the scene. The trouble seems to have been that a squad of thirty or forty negroes in passing through, the yard toward Dross Neck were casting stones and other missies promiscuously about the yard, striking cars, etc., and bid ding defiance to Mr. McAllister and others at work about the yard. How ever, when the officers reached the scene the negroes had all dispersed. No arrests were made. Very Important Matter. It the registration which began yes terday is called a new registration it is a possibility thatTt might invalidate the election, as the thirty days' notice required by the new law printed in the Star to-day has not been given. It is not too late, however,' to make it simply .a "revision of the books," as it does not appear from the law that any previous notice is required for this "revision of the books." As this-is an important matter, we suggest that the city authorities con sult at once Representative Rountree, under whose supervision the law was drawn, , and ascertain what course should be pursued. ' Spent Last Night Here. A. W McLean, Esq., President of the National Bank of Lumberton, spent yesterday and lasf night in the city. He came on business connected with the Dockery-Bellamy contest case, he being-attorney for Mr. Bel lamy in Robeson county. He says the taking of evidence for Dockery was concluded on the 7th inst i'No date has been set for taking depositions of Mr. Bellamy's witnesses. Mr. McLean says Dockery has not gained a single advantage by his investigation in ' Robeson. 1 Mr. A. J. Gray and wife, nee Miss Clara Springer, arrived in .the city last night from Raleigh and will spend a week or ten days, the. guests of Mrs. Gray's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Springer. .' ' .

The primary purpose for which an Alderman is elected is to make and administer laws. The patronage incident to making appointments in perfecting the Instruments of government should be dispensed with the sole view of efficient public service; therefore, a candidate who makes pledges disqualifies himself for an intelligent and unbiased discharge of the duties of the office of Alderman. - The redemption of pledges works exhaustion of the public service, and it must follow that to pledge appointments prejudices efficient gov ernment in advance. The candidate who makes pledges is not In any proper sense the represen tative of the people, bnt becomes the personal representative or the man or men to whom he has bartered away bis independence and public efficiency. 1 HacBae and Taylor make no pledges. They will, if elected, represent the people. There is no tsvnng 10 inem. - The ticket is -- HUGH MacEAE, m J. A. TAYLOR. Their supporters authorize no other ticket, and any ticket not bearing these two names Is in the interest of the opposition. . . Beware of attempts to substitute another name in place of one of them; The defeat of either of them would have the effect to tie the hands of the other. THIRD WARD. mar 18 It - .
