HOGAN'S ALLEY FRIDAY NIGHT A Season of Real Fun Wiil Prevail at the Opera Honse The Leading Actors. Gilmore & Leonard's latest comedy, Hogan's Alley," is a funny conglom eration of humor judiciously inter mingled with pretty dances, catchy songs and original music. It is con stituted especially for the fun loving public. The desire j to please runs through every act and the result is a series of the most irresistable laughter making scenes. It includes a lot of puns that snap back ana forth ana a num ber of songs that are. up-to-date. ' All- the actors are stars in their line, spe cial attention being drawn to Campbell and Canfield, Johnnie Dugan, Frank Rhodes and . the Misses Ethel Cope, May E. Conard, Anna Driver and Tiddlewinks, as Mickey, Dugan', that inimitable "Yellow Kid," is the life of the play. Sale of reserve seats com mences Gerken's. to morrow morning at May Call Election Off. It is understood that among the matters to be discussed at a special meeting of the Board of County Com missioners, called to be held this after noon at 3 o'clock, will be a proposi tion to call off the election on the bond issue for road improvement, which is advertised to be held on the first Tuesday in May, and to rely for any special, ettorts that may be put forth along this line on the general road law already in ope ration, which allows the County Commissioners at their regular meet ing on the first Monday, in June to levy a special tax for road improve ment of not less than five ents nor more than twenty-five cents on the hundred dollars worth of property and ' not less than fifteen nor more than seventy-five on the poll.

The most important matter before the regular semi-monthly meeting of the City Board of Audit and Finamce ast night was a petition from the ser geants and patrolmen of the police force asking that their wages as such be substantially increased to conform in a measure at least to the compensa tion paid by previous Democratic boards. - ! The question was discussed at some length by the board, all the members of which were present except Mr. S. P. McNair, but it was decided to de fer the matter until a subsequent meeting which it is understood will be held very soon. j The petition sets forth in accurate detail the salaries paid by Democratic administrations for years past and contrasts the present low wages with those last paid, when a sound govern ment and proper police protection were afforded by the city government. I I It is believed that the board will favorably consider the request and that the wages of policemen will be restored to the old-time Democratic standard $1.60 per day for patrolmen and $1.70 per day for sergeants. The following justified bonds were presented and approved: : ! L Elijah A. Chad wick, clerk of Fourth street market, in the sum of $200. Bond with U. S. Fidelity and Guarantee Co., of Baltimore. I I J. B. Casteen, city lamp-lighter! in the sum of $200. Bond with J. F. Maunder as surety. j Bills for current expenses to the lamount of $500.64 were audited and approved.

(Newbern Journal, April 18th. That Wilmington and Newbern are sister cities, tbat all their jaeople are kinfolks, or almost, can not now be doubted after last night. The occasion of it all was the coming of the Paint and Powder Club to this citr. Upon the train's arrival inl this city last evening, there was an informal ception, a number of their friends meet ing the members of the Club. Mrs. James A. Bryan, had' previous! v in vited the ladies of the Club, liand they were at once taken charge of by Mrs. Bryan, who gave them a delightful drive about the city, and afterwards a quiet tea at her home. P' ' - After the play, the members of the club were taken to the' Craven Club house where a reception was tendered them, and afterwards a dance was given at Lowthrop Hall. J Uf the play too much praise cannot be given. To begin with there was the full house every seat taken, and a crowd which expected toljsee good acting and were not disappointed. Uomedy and Traeredy. the Curtain Raiser, is a piece which requires talent of a high order, and well was Sit present ed. Clarice, the center character, was taken by Miss Taylor, and: through out her actine she showed' skill and intense feeling, she being in full sym- Eatny witn tne cnaracter portrayed. Ler support was excellent Mr. Cowan, as M. Le Due; Mr. Robert son, as D'Aulway ; - Mr. Viek, as Dr. Choquart; Mr. Cotchett, as- M. De la Ferte being enjoyable acting, excel lent foils to Miss Taylor. Si "The Merry Maid" was the feature for the night's ' entertainment. Each act was a comedy, the threeH making a delicious whole, which kept the adi dience in an almost continuous roar of laughter, mingled with applause. wnereall did so excellently it is hard to particularize, but the burden of the acting was upon Mr. Cowan, as "William, Mr. Wright, as Mr. Ker shaw, and Mr. Robertson, as Charles Shackelton, the female parts being all well taken by Miss Taylor, Miss Cotchett, Miss Lee and Miss McPher- son.
