THE OPERA HOUSE LAST NIGHT.
Very Clever Presentation of a Very Clever
and Refined Comedy by Leroyle.
Those who braved the wind and
rain last night to witness Mr. Hennes
sy L3royle's clever production of
"Other People's Money," were amply
recompensed for their inconvenience.
The play received a cordial recep
tion here last season and it was none
the less warmly welcome again last
night; fact is, it appears to be the gen
eral opinion that, if anything, it had
improved with age. The crowd which
witnessed the presentation last night
was necessarily not large on account
of the weather, but the number was
altogether very complimentary to the
clever company that interpreted a
clever production.
Hennessy Leroyle was decidedly
'great" in the leading role and Mr.
Ernest Schayer. as the "scheming
clerk" was all that could be desired.
Miss Sargent was ateo clever in the
role of "Innocence Abroad."
The audience which greeted the
show last night went away pleased in
every particular.

' now engaged in harvesting the crops.
The bulk of the rice, however, this
year is said to be already housed.

COUNTY ROAD BONDS
Case Involving Constitutionality
of Act Authorizing Issue Ar
gued in Supreme Court.
DECISION IN A FEW DAYS.
Commissioners Confident They Can Abso
lately Establish Validity of SecorN
ties and Compel Maintenance
of Contract for Tkelr Sale.
County Attorney W. B. McKoy re
turned last evening from Raleigh,
where he went to argue the case be
fore the Supreme Court involving the
validity of the act authorizing the
New Hanover county bond issue.
It will be remembered that a few
months ago the bonds were sold to W.
J. Hays & Sons, of Cleveland, Ohio,
at par, and that the purchasers a few
weeks later refused to accept the cer
tificates on the ground that the act
authorizing the issue .was not passed
constitutionally by the Legislature.
Messrs. Hays & Sons were released
from their contract and a sale was
later made to Capt. A. L. DeRosset, of
this city, who offered to negotiate the
securities. Capt DeRosset later re
fused the ponds on the grounds of un
constitutionality and a suit was
brought to compel him to take the
bonds. It went immediately to the'
higher court and County Attorney
McKoy appeared for the Commission
ers of New Hanover and Bellamy &
Paschau appeared for the defendant
The alleged unconstitutionality of
the act is that the aye and nay vote
was not recorded on the first reading.
This proceeding the county authori
ties claim was not essential, according
to Article 2nd, Section 14 of the Con
stitution.
The controversy is one without ac
tion, submitted under section 507 of
the Code and a decision is expected to
be handed down in a day or two. The
questions submitted are as follows:
'1st. Is the act authorizing the issue
of the bonds to-wit an act entitled
'An act to issue bonds for road im
provement in New Hanover county,'
ratified the first day of March, 1901,
Chapter 314, Public Laws of North
Carolina, 1901, Constitutional and
valid.
"2nd. If constitutional and valid, is
the defendant bound to comply with
his contract?"
The Commissioners claim that if
passed according to the requirements
of the Constitution it is valid; that the
act having passed its three readings
on three different days in each House,
and the yeas and nays being recorded
in the journal of each House on its
passage on its second and third read
ing, the bill is constitutional and
valid. This then being established
that the act has been passed, accord
ing to the constitutional requirements,
(no point is made that the election
was not held in accordance with the
requirements of the law, but was valid
in all respects) it follows: That the
bonds issued under said act are valid ;
that the defendant is required in law
and equity to accept the same.
DEATH OP A LITTLE BOY.
Samnel Davis, Jr., Died Yesterday Prom
Injuries Sustained in Kecent Accident.
At 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, at
the familv residence. 214 Market
street, death came to relieve the suf
ferings of little Samuel Davis, Jr., son
of Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Davis, who had
been critically ill since the recently
very sever) accident in which the
little fellow fell from a step-ladder on
the front piazza of his house to the
ground below and sustained several
fractures and dislocations of his arm.
At first it was thought the boy
would recover, and anxious friends
and, parents prayed for that result in
vain. Lockjaw set in and the best
medical still could not relieve the
suffering or stay the hand of the
Death Angel.
Samuel was aged six years, eight
months and twenty-one days. He was
a bright boy for his age and was loved
by alL
The funeral will be held this after
noon at 4:30 o'clock from the resi
dence, and the interment will be in
Oakdale cemetery.
THE "NORTHEASTER" YESTERDAY.
Wind and Rain Came, But Was Not Dan
gerous At tbe Beacbes.
A brisk northeast wind and rain
storm visited the city yesterday, in
creasing m violence unui aoout v
1 A.
o'clock last night, after which time it
subsided without damage.
There was much anxious inquiry as
to the conditions on the different
beaches, but from best information
there was no damage whatever. At
Wrightsville the tide was unusually
high and sections of the railroad track
were inundated but Jthere was no
damage. In the kitchen of Mr. Powers'
cottage the water rose to a slight depth
early in the night but very soon sub
sided. The train went down as usual
but there was no cause for alarm, and
no one left the beach.
Moore Case In Hearing.
Brunswick Superior Court at South-
nart was engaged for the entire day

suit of F. M. Moore vs. JNavassa ttuano
Co. Only two witnesses were exam
ined durlnsr the dav. They were Mr.

ELECTRA, THE BEAUTIFUL,
COMING TO THE CARNIVAL
The Lady Who Piles Winging Her Way
Here Hotel and Boarding House
Facilities Are Ample.
Probably the most fascinating as
well as the most interesting of the
many shows that will visit the Elks'
carnival and street fair in October is
the one known as Electra.
This exhibition first attained great
prominence at the Omaha Exposition,
that being its initial production in this
country. It is an old world idea and
originated in Vienna. This, like other
mystifying exhibitions, has the black
canvas surroundings and darkened
interior to give it proper presentation.
The lady impersonating Electra is
by unseen means caused to arise from
the stage and float in the air above
the entire audience. Many weak imi
tations of this particular performance
have been given throughout the coun
try, but the management positively
assures their patrons that they have
expended a small fortune in obtain
ing the originaf now famous puzzle.
As in exhibitions which were said to
be similar, Electra does not merely
rise from the stage to a certain height
and then back to terra firms, but is
suspended directly in front of the
audience; then turns several revolu
tions in mid-air and gracefully floats
out into space above the delighted
visitors.
During the big carnivals given last
season in Richmond Electra was an
absolute novelty and thousands could
be heard daily enthusiastically prais
ing the merits of her exhibitions. In
connection with Electra there is pre
sented Prof. Seaman's Prismatic Fan
tasma, a $5,000 collection of beautiful
dissolving colored views manufactured
in Europe. They are within them
selves a meritorious and satisfying
entertainment. The light effects and
storm scenes never fail to bring forth
rounds of applause. They will virtu
ally give the visitors to Electra two
Bhows for one price of admission. A
failure to visit them will cause after
regrets, for your friends are sure to
ask you, did you see the beautiful
Electra?
"Electra" will .be only one of the
. . . , i
many attractions tnai win oe nere
during the Carnival week, and the
crowds will be large each day if the
weather will permit. Every accom
modation in the way of board and
lodging will be available, and the
Public Comfort Committee assures
every one contemplating a visit to the
fair that there will be no inconve
nience in this regard. Mr. C. C.
Chadbourn, chairman of the commit
tee, will have headquarters in a booth,
centrally located in the Carnival dis
trict, and will take pleasure in direct
ing visitors to suitable homes while in
the city.

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE PENNANT.
It Went to Pittsburg la a Pinal Game With
Brooklyn Yesterday.
fBy Associated Press.
Pittsburg, Sept. 27. Pittsburg
won the league pennant to-day by
wresting victory from Brooklyn in
the eighth inning, when the excham
pions seemed to have the game practi
cally won. Wagner has the honor of
scorine the first and last runs in the
game and in batting in tne two runs
that tied the score. The game
throughout was a splendid exhibition
of scientific ball playing, with only
enough mis-plays to spice the general
work. Tne entnusiasm oi tne crowa
when the winning run came over the
plate was intense. Attendance, 4,uuu.
The standing of the clubs at the
close of the season is as follows:
Pittsburg, 656; Philadelphia, 590;
Brooklyn, 569; St. Louis, 530; Bos
ton, 500; New York, 400; Chicago,
878; Cincinnati, 378.
As the Stab employs no trav
elling agents, bills are sent direct to
subscribers. These bills should re
ceive prompt attention.
A SUPERIOR DAIRY.
Messrs. E. Warren & Son Make
Important Announcement to
Consumers of Milk.
BUSINESS OF THEIR OWN.
Firm Has Leased for Five Years Product
of tbe Celebrated Belleville Cream
ery In Brunswick County Be
ginning October 1st.
An important announcement to
householders and all consumers of
milk and cream in Wilmington is that
a contract has just been signed for five
years beginning Tuesday, October 1st,
by which Messrs. E. Warren & Son,
of this city, will control the entire
output of the Belleville Dairy on ex-
Governor D. L. Russell's plantation
in Brunswick county.
In company with Mr. Archie War
ren, the clever mauagiag member of
tbe firm, a Star representative yes
terday had the pleasure of a visit to
the celebrated dairy and was most
courteously shown tbroueh every
branch of the enterprise by Mr. F. M.
Pridgen, the superintendent. It is
located on a high plateau, witb excel
lent drainage and may well be termed
one of the most model institutions of
its kind in the State. The buildings
are all newly constructed, nicely white
washed and conveniently arranged
with a view both to cleanliness and
dispatch in handling the product. At
milking time yesterday a dozen or
more tidily dressed employes were
busy about their duties. Thirty-five
well fed cows were arranged in their
stalls and as many more were enjoying
grazing on 200 acres of luxuriant pas
turage, including both lowland and
upland. The capacity of the diary is
175 quarts per day, but Mrs. Russell,
who gives every detail of the business
her personal supervision, assures Mr.
Warren that this will be greatly in
creased in the very near future.
Aside from the pasturage the cows,
including Holsteins, Jerseys, Alder
neys. Guineas and several other fine
breeds, are stall fed with meal, cotton
seed hulls and bran three times each
day and are watered as many times
from clear, cool water from a wind
mill pump on the premises.
From the dairy proper, the milk is
transferred to an aerator in an adjoin
ing building where, by a clever pro
cess, the product is freed from all
animal heat so that it will keep for at
least 86 hours longer than by tbe old
process. By this process the milk is
also purified to a large extent and is
ready for transfer to cans or bottles in
a pure, rich color.
Adjoining the barns and feed rooms
inside the neat inclosure, are two
mammoth boilers of 20 barrels capacity
each, where feed of pumpkins, turnips
and potatoes, are boiled for the cows
in Winter. There is also a steam feed
knife and corn crusher where much
forage is prepared for the milkers.
In every way the dairy is u, -to-date
and the best methods are employed in
handling the product. Mr. Warren
says that in the past 25 years his firm
has been a very large consumer of
milk, and that in the product of the
Belleville Dairy, he finds the best milk
ever offered on this market.
In the city two deliveries will be
made each day, and the milk will also
be on sale at the store, where it will
be stored in a 20 gallon creamery cab
inet, porcelain lined, with silver
trimmings. Cream will also be served
to customers from porcelain jars kept
in a large refrigerator.
Messrs. Warren & Son and the
milk consuming public are to be con'
gratulated upon the deal just closed.
