It is getting into a tangle, so to speak. Uncle Sam is making arrange ments to start a smokeless powder plant at Indian Head which, when completed, can turn out 3,000 pounds a day. ' .Within the past Winter the loco motive builders in this country have received and accepted orders for 150 locomotives to be used on railroads of other countries.

It is a cemetery for the interment of animal family pets, where they will be interred with due decorum and their graves looked afier and kept green. , The Filipinos may be excused for doing considerable running when they get before the American army. They were accustomed to fighting Spaniards, and tKat was a sort of pic-nic compared with the racket they have on hand now. ' The Philadelphia papers take com fort in the announcement that there were only 443 new cases of. typhoid fever in that city last week, and but 49 deaths. Since January 1st there have been 3,649 cases and 380 deaths, and typhoid is a preventable disease. The glass Trusts are not bother ing the JFlipinos much. Nearly all the better class of houses there have in the windows translucent oyster shells, which admit the light, but mellow it so that it is not so hard on the eyes. But if America gets a tight grip an oyster shell Trust will not be backward-in coming forward. LOCAL dots: There will be a love feast in the lecture room of Grace M. E. Church at 10 A. M. to day.

HIGHWAYMAN MONDAY NIGHT Mr. Schloss' Strong Guarantee Musical Association's Rehearsals Meetings ?of N. C. Sorosis Departments.

Mr. Schloss guarantees this to be the most perfect and brilliantly rendered high-class comic Opera ever presented in the Wilmington Opera House. The thrilling story of "The High wayman" is told in three acts, laid in the early part of the present century. The painter and tne costumer both have rare opportunities at their call in depicting the scenic and sartorial sur roundings of the courtyard of the Cat and Fiddle Tavern, a lonely spot on the York road by moonlight, and the Park of Beverley Monor. ; The atmos phere of the time is happily sustained by. Mr. DeKoven in music suggestive of old English tunes. j l The Broadway Opera Company has a special orchestra of its own which adds greatly to the attractiveness of the programme.- The rehearsal this week by tho Wil mington Musical Association will be held on Tuesday instead of Monday night The change is made in order that those members who so desire may attend the theatre tomorrow night. The evening of May 5th has been de: cided upon by the association as the time for their annual j public re hearsal, at which SauTh superb oratorio "Joan of Arc" is to -be rendered. A Stab reporter was told yesterday by Mr. Ed. II. Munson, the efficient musical director, that an excellent orchestra of fifteen instru ments has been secured; the soloists selected and general arrangements perfected which assure the most suc cessful annual musicale the associa tion has yet given. .

The meeting of the Art Department will be on Saturday afternoon. One of the most 'profi cient and versatile members will treat especially the subject of "Painting." Other ladies will favor the depart ment with appropriate readings They will bo "Readings From Mrs. Jami son," and "Modern Painters" Vol. 2, pages 175-185. j Schubert Hall was the -scene of an especially unique entertainment yes terday afternoon, the participants being the pupils of Misses Ulrich and Corbett's "Fletcher : Kindergarten Music School," assisted by Miss Gan nie Ohasten's music pupils. There, was a large attendance of patrons and friends of the scholars in attend ance and every one is enthusiastic in commendation of the ejrllent man ner in which he programme was ren dered and the marvellous progress and proficiency displayed by the little pupils of the kindergarten ( school, j The programme was arranged as a "Study Of Tone Masters," so that a Kindergarten pupil would , recite a verse relating to the life and com positions of a great master and some pupil of Miss Chasten's class would render a selection by that composer. This feature of the programme was as follows: I "Mozart" (Verse in rhyme) ; Flora Yopp. ' Minuet in'"E flat . . . . . . . . ..Mozart May Muse. (Second piano) Maude Bullock, ,.

"Harmonious Blacksmith" Handel -. Alice Craft. "Haydn" (Verse in rhyme) Nannie Waters. Rondo in D major . Haydn . Bessie D. Burtt .' (Orchestral parts on second part) The exercises were closed with re- markable demonstrations of ear. train ing, rythm, sigh treading and mental division of time, by the pupils ; of . the Fletcher Kindergarten MusiO School. -A f ter the entertainment the guests were shown through the : Kinder garten apartments where the material for the Fletcher method of .musical instruction was on exhibition. The entertainment is pronounced, by all, a splendid testimonial to the method, the instructors and the pupils. While no dates have been positively set for the Easter germans by L' Arioso and L' Agile Clubs, still it is generally believed that they will be oh Wednes day; and Friday nights, after Easter Monday. The german byrMiss Cam mie Lord's dancing pupils will be given as previously announced in the Star, on Easter Monday night The prizes to be awarded the pupil .who leads the prettiest figure and those to the best dancers are creating sharp but friendly rivalry, so that the ger- man will doubtless be distinguished by beautiful and difficult figures, j It is expected that there -will be at least two or three impromptu germans very soon after Easter. .
