"CAROLINA DAY." Appropriate Exercises Observed by Public Schools at Hemen way Yesterday. CONVENTION OP COUNTIES. Large Qathcrlif of Teicberr, Papils aad Partots to Witaesa Readltioa of the Hiihly Creditable Programme. Distinguished Educator. "Carolina Daj" was celebrated at the Hemenway School yesterday by the rendition of one of the most unique, interesting and appropriate pro grammes ever presented in the city public schools, and too much credit cannot be accorded Miss Jennie Wood, in whose mind the nature of the enter tainment originated, and to whose efforts is due in a very large measure the' complete success scored on the occasion. The entertainment was a "mock convention" of the counties of North Carolina, and the costuming, inscrip tions on banners, lines recited, and songs sung were all in keeping with the day. Many visitors, including the school committees and members of the facul ties of the Tileton High 8chool and Union School, were present, when If r. Jas. F. Post, who has so deeply at heart the every interest of the city schools, made the opening remarks. Mr. Post said "Carolina Day" was iu augurated by the Legislature to commemorate the virtues and noble and heroic deeds of the "Old North State," to stimulate with the children her present glory and her future possi bilities. Mr. J. J. Blair, superinten dent of schools, then welcomed all who were present in a few happy words. 9 Over a hundred .boys and girls marched on the stage, some attired in unique costumes, some carrying ban ners bearing thp namea of battles, college and cities, and the majority of them wearing across their breasts strips of pasteboard on which were printed the names of the different counties. Mr. L. Clayton Grant, the secretary, madea short speech explain ing the object of the convention and then called the roll of counties. As a county was called, the boy or girl representing it would step to the front of the stage and recite a few ap '-t-s lines, which in almost every fetj If were full of humor and ex- pressiveness as well as giving a prom inent historical event. The audi ence applauded heartily. Appro priate songs were sung at intervals. Several responses called forth the most enthusiastic and patslotio applause The 8TAB regrets that limited space will not permit it to go into details of the convention. When New Hanover was called, three young ladies bearing banners on which were inscribed "Wilmington, Hemen way School," "Tileston High School," came to the front and after appropriate verses by each, a song entitled "Wil mington," composed by MUs Wood. was sung. It was followed by an out burst of applause. At tbat juncture Mr. Grant rose and paid a tribute to the memory of Mrs. Hemenway and also paid a beautiful tribute tcTMiss Bradley, who was present. The entertainment was bienly en joyable and reflects great credit on Miss Wood, on the children wno par w York man has bought the pd in it, and also on the splendid rohand will remove it to l?b"c?0?i,,f" ft ?l7Jl the Sea.

Guthrie Concluded His Speech A Vote WiU Hardly Bs Reached Before Tuesday or Wednesday. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. C, March 28. Maj. W. A. Guthrie concluded his opening argument for the prosecution in the Impeachment trial of Chief Justice Furches and Associate Justice Doug las this morning, and was followed by Mr. C. M. Cooke for the defence and Hon. C. M. Busbee for the prose cution. Major Guthrie said, in conclusion, that the prosecution does not want the judges impeached for error in judgment, but for deliberately tear ing the constitution into shreds and violating knowingly and persistent ly violating its plain mandates. He said the prosecution does not attack the Hoke vs. Henderson doctrine, that office Is property, but charges that the present Supreme Court went far beyond its bounds. Mr. Cooke made a strong argument for the defence. He said the rulings of the court were all right in the eyes of those prosecuting when Democratic officeholders were retained in office and given their pay: but when the courts, following the same precedents, had retained a Republican officer, they must be impeached. He argued that the mistake was made by the 1899 Legislature in not so legislating as to the shell fish commission as to effect ually accomplish what they desired, the removal of Theophilus White from office and the substitution of a Democratic officer in his stead. He cited the. case of Gardner against Worth, where a mandamus was issued, by Judge Robinson against the S'ate treasurer, and Judge Clark rendered an opinion in the Supreme Court that aueh a mandamus could not issue, be cause there was no special fund or appropriation in the treasurer's hands for its payment. There was a fund, though, said Mr. Cooke, for the pay ment in the White case, on which this impeachment was instituted. Hon. C. M. Busbee's speech for the prosecution was very strong and clear cut, emphasizing points made by Maj. Guthrie yesterday, and insisting that the accused judges made a flagrant violation of the constitution in issuing the mandamus on the treasury. Hon. J. Lindsay Patterson will speak for the defence to-morrow and Hon. E. F. Davidson for the prosecu tion. The Senate will hardly reach a vote on the impeachment before Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

Peschau, of the Wilmington Base Ball team, ex presses the hope that he will have signed by to-night all his players for the forthcoming season, and that he will be able at tbat time to make some definite announcement to the publio as to the "winning tossers" that he will put in the field to do battle with the other teams in the Virginia-Carolina League this Summer. He has already learned a lesson that is very expensive when experience is the teacher, and has carefully consid ered the record of every man before signing him. He has gathered about him an abundance of data concerning base ball and base, ball men, and in the light of this information has slowly and with deliberation cnosen the very best men obtainable ana mat, too, at a cost which will not be sui cidal to the sport in the outset. In doing this, however, he has not sacri ficed the best of base ball material, dui has gathered a team that will do hnnnr to Wilmington. Th Htak hones to make a definite announcement of the players morrow. to- Una Clayton Company, "Miss Roarer" was the bill for the ! at the Opera House last evening, and it was splendidly presented, every member of the company having proved an artist of high order.

The prices will be 10 and 30 cents, and every child attending will receive present. The company will close ita engagement to-night, presenting the very strongcomedy drama, a miu night Masquerade." At this perform ance $10 in gold will be given away. Ordered to the Chinese Station. Charlotte Observer-. r "Lieutenant E. A.
