Large and Representative Audience Ac cords High Praise for Presentation of "Comedy and Tragedy" and "The Merry Maid." I It is the general verdict of the large and. fashionable. audience which as sembled at the Opera House last eight to witness the annual appearance of the Wilmington 'Paint and Powder Club that another brilliant success has been added to the club's record in past seasons for splendid histronic achive ments. Their double bill "Comedy and Tragedy" and ''The Merry Maid," were presented in a manner which would do great credit to a professional company. Every member of the club is deserving, of particular mention and sincere praise for their interpretation of the roles allotted to them. In the curtain-raiser, "Comedy and Tragedy," the leading characters, Clarice and M. le Due d1 Orleans j Regent of France, were taken respec tively by Miss Hattie Taylor and Mr. James H. Cowan. Both won especial applause for their strong work. Then, too, their support was all that could be desired, Miss Annie Lee playing Pauline; Mr. W. F. Robertson, D'Aul nayr Clarice's Husband; Mr. Walker Vick, Dbcteur Choquart; Mr. James Cotchett, f Monsieur De la Ferte and Mr. Thos. H. Wright the double role of JoSeph and Viscomte de Mauun.

SEDQELEY HALL CLUB. In making his regular monthly re--port to the Board of Aldermen at its meeting April 2d, Dr. McMillan, the city superintendent of health, recom mended, among other things, that some -steps be taken to prevent ; the spread of infectious diseases from the sale of second-hand clothing:, which he explained is a very common source for the origination of smallpox, yel low fever and other contagious dis eases. ; ' ' ' I: ' ' - j For some reason no" action was taken, either by the sanitary com mittee of the board or by the alder men themselves. ; . : The matter is being seriously con sidered in Newbern, Raleigh and other cities in the State. The follow ing is from the Raleigh News and 06j server of yesterday : "The City Board of Health yesterday very properly took prompt . action touching the sale of second-hand clothing in this city. The special dispatch in this paper from New York disclosing the fact that clothing taken from dead bodies there was being shipped to Kaleigh and other Southern cities and sold without ever being disinfected in- the second-hand clothing: stores caused the health authorities to awake to a realization of the great danger threat ening the city from this source. " Dr. McKee recommended that the second-hand clothing in stores which handle such goods be thoroughly baked at a temperature of 240 degrees, and that no more shipments of second hand clothing be allowed to be re ceived here unless the shipment is ac companied by a certificate from the Board of Health of the city from which it is shipped. -! Ciiy Attorney Busbee thought that a very stringent ordinance should be adopted relative to the shipment of second-hand clothing, i- He also thought that a tax ought to be levied on dealers. . i Mr. Drewrv moved, and it was adopted, that all the present stock of clothing in the stores of dealers in second-hand clothing be thoroughly fumigated by Sanitary Inspectdr Sale at once with formaldehyde gas the fumigation to be done at the expense of the merchants. 1 On motion of Mr. Drewry, the." city attorney was directed to draw up an ordinance to regulate future ship ments of second-hand clothing into this city. Making Preliminary Arrangements for the Session of later-State Commerce - ' Commission April 20th. Judge W. A. Day arrived in the city yesterday from Washington, D. C, and spent several hours in con ference with ther officers of the Wil mington Tariff Association, on busi ness pertaining to -the investigation of the complaints of the .Tariff Associa tion as to. freight discriminations, . to be held by the Inter-State Commerce Commission in this city, April 20th, the commission continuing in session as long as may be necessary to dispose of the case. Judge Day left the city on the north bound A. C. L. train last night and will return April 20th when the Commerce Commission con venes.' -.. 1 . -. As previously announced in the Star the North Carolina Corporation Commission will also be in the city on April 20th and continue as long as the Inter-State Commission is in session. They will be here especially for the purpose of hearing the charges to be made by the Tariff Association and the arguments advanced by counsel with a view to getting light on the subject for the more intelligent con sidei at ion of similar cases which may' come before them involving the equalization of rates within the State.

The mostinteresting case before the police court yesterday morning was that of W. R. Terry f or- assaulting J . Tillman Howard with a pistol, par ticulars of which were given in yes terday's Star. He was represented by Empie&Empie, who succeeded, in view of the fact that the prosecutor in the case was unwilling to pusn ine matter, in having him released upon condition that he would leave town on the afternoon S. A. L. train. He was held in custody until the depart ure of the train and Policeman Woebse was detailed to see mas no complied with the requirements of the court as to leaving.

A suit for damages was to-day insti tuted against the Raleigh Electric Com pany for the killing of a negro line man, James Mitchell. The action is brought by Sallie Mitchell, adminis tratrix. Mitchell was in the employ of the Bell Telephone Company asline man, and while at work in January one of the wires he was pulling up came in contact with an electric 'light wire, which it is claimed was not prop erly insulated and be was instantly killed. The Corporation Commission. The summons in the quo warranto proceeding brought by Dr. Abbott, for the omce of Uorporation Commissioner was this morning served on Mr. Bed dingfield. Chairman Franklin McNeill arrived this morning and he and Mr. Bedding field spent the day at the office, but no meeting of the Commission was held. Speaking of the decision in the Day case, Mr. McNeill said he had not read it carefully and did not know ex actly how far it went; but he thought there was quite a wide difference be tween the Day and Abbott case. . Cattle Quarantine. Dr. Curtice, the State veterinarian, to-day returned from the western part of the State, where he has been mak ing investigations in regard to the Texas fever and the national quaran tine regulations.. He leaves to-morrow for Washington to see what can be done towards exempting certain sections of the west that irenow un der quarantine. Two new convicts were received at the penitentiary to-day one from Onslow county and one from Tran sylvania. Both are sent up for short terms. ' Seventeen miles of the Cape Fear & Northern railroad are now com plete. If the weather continues good, twenty miles will be completed within the next week. ' f Special Star . Telegram. The Penitentiary Trouble. The time for the meeting of the peni tentiary directors was to-day changed from Saturday next to Thursday, April 27th, at 10 o'clock. This was done after conference between Capt. Day and the new executive board, in order to give the . directors sufficient notice to secure a full attendance. This afternoon the executive board ordered Treasurer Worth to issue $110,000 four per cent, ten year bonds as authorized by the last Legislature, to pay off the indebtedness of the pen itentiary. As no d ecision in regard to buying State farms has yet been reach ed, the bonds authorized for that pur pose will not be issued. Whether or -not Day can without consent of the new board avail himself of the $50,000 appropriated annually for support 'of the penitentiary is an open question. Day says he can do so under the law of 1897, which is put in force again by the decision. The Fountain Cotton Mills, of Tar boro, is incorporated, with $100,000 capital stock. Another damage suit was to-day brought against the Raleigh Water Co. on account of bad water furnished during the past three months. The Cruiser Raleigh. Some of the,' party going to New York to join in the cruiser Raleigh reception left to-day others to-night, and still others; will go to-morrow, about fifteen in all, A much larger number would have gone if redaced rates could have been secured. This morning two negroes Henry McLean and Luther iMcGill charged with killing a man in Robeson county named McBryde- were committed to jail here. The prisoners were arrested in Virginia upon warrant by Chief of Police Mclver, of Sanford. As lynch ihg was feared in Robeson county,, they were committed to jail here till the authorities in Robeson county can be communicated with. The Insane Asylum. The Executive Committee of the Insane Asylum met here to-day and addressed a letter to the State Treas urer asking him to give them a legal opinion as to how they can get the $6,000 the Legislature intended but failed to aopropriate for the criminal insane. The real intention of this letter is to find out whether the Treas urer has any authority to advance the money. A telegram was received .here an nouncing that President McKinley had appointed Ewart again as judge of the Western Federal Court of North Carolina.
