ANOTHER TRIUMPHANT SUCCESS. Mabel Paige Compaiy Played to "Stand- lag Room Only" Agala Last Night. The Mabel : Paige Company at the' Academy of Music last evening dupli cated the wonderful success of the opening night of its engagement in this city, having played again to "standing room only." She audience was well pleased, too, and it is perfect-. Iy safe to predict that the capacity of the theatre will continue to be taxed during the remainder of the week, for high claas repertoire Is as popular In Wilmington as of yore, despite Indl cationa sometimes to the contrary. The bill laat night was "A Mountain Waif," with Miss Paige in the leading role. The story is a fascinating one and the company knew how and did handle it well.

Monday's New York Evening World presents a double column half-tone picture of Master Geo. L. Shepard, late of this city, who created bis latest aensaiion in the metropolis by boldly walking up to Mr. August Belmont last Friday and asking him for a job as a jockey. Young Shepard, who has his nerve with him at all times, got the jab. The World thus speaks of Sbepard's first interview with the great capitalist and owner of fine horses: Mr. Belmont bad been before the Interstate Commerce Commission. He had been prodded for more than half an hour on a very sore spot that of his experience with John W. Gates, who Secured a corner In Mr. Belmont s Louisville and Nashville Railroad stock. Msny a man would -have hesitated to approach the great banker at this moment, but the boy feared nothing. "I d like to have a job at your stables, Mr. Belmont," said the boy: At the mention of the word stables. Mr. Belmont's face cleared of the clouds that had settled upon it, and his mind flew to the great thoroughbreds safely housed at his stables down at Babylon. He gazed down at the eager face of the boy in front of him. "You would like a job, ebf Well, you come down to my office at 23 Nassau street, and Til aee what can be done for you." Then the millionaire handed the boy his card and walked away. "Say," said Shepard to-day, "I was awful sorry I didn't have a card to exchange with Mr. Belmont. I've got them now, though, and when I go to see him about the job I will send my card in." He handed the writer his card, on which was printed, "George L. Shep pard, New York." "Where are you living, George!" "Ob, I'm round at the Newsboys' Home, just at present." If he had aaid the Waldorf-Astoria it would have bsen no surprise. "I'm not modest about being in print," he said. "I've been there be fore. Down in Wilmington, N. C, where I came froffi-ihey bad a con vention of the Daughters of the Con federacy. I was sort of a psge there, and I presented the president with a souvenir book. Every one hollered Speech,' so I gave them something like this: "Ladies and gentlemen: I see that the Governor of North Carolina has asked for an appropriation to build a monument for William McKlnley. . I don't see why he can't ask for an ap propriation to build a moument to our beloved President, Jefferson Davis. "Say, that speech made a hit The papers gave me a bully send off. A lot of people came to me after that. One man, a Northerner, was very nice and I told him one day : "-'I like you first ratebut I don't like your politics. He was a Republi can. A lawyer named Lyman A. War ren beard me say that, and it tickled him to death. He gave me $5 and said: " 'Boy, if you ever come to New York, come and aee me. I'll look after you.'" Young Shepard then detailed the hitiory of his voyage on a schooner from Wilmington to New York and bis meeting his friend Warren in Tammany HalL WILMINQT0N TOBACCO WAREHOUSE. Compasy Hss Parchased Eligible Site la Northesstera Sectloa Prospects. . Mr. W. E. Worth, president of the Wilmington Tobacco Warehouse Com pany, in a brief interview with a repre sentative of the Stab yesterday said that he regarded the prospect for a fine tobacco market in Wilmington next season as especially encouraging. "We are going to have every facility for handling the leaf that any other town has in North or South Carolina," aaid Mr. Worth, "and we confidently expect to handle from a million to a million and a half pounds of leaf the very first year. Our plant will be second to none and we propose to make it to the advantage of both buyer and seller to patronize us." Continuing Mr. Worth said that the company has purchased of Capt. Wal ter G.MacRae and others a tract of land containing about five acres at the inter section of the W.&W. and Wilmington 8eacoaat railroads, bounded by An derson, Dickinson, Hall and Fanning streets, and also three-fourths of Lot 3 in the centre of Block 884, according to the official plan of the Gity of Wil mington.. The tract embraces over two compact blocks of real estate through which Moore street runs. It is easy of access from the country and by the railroada. Manager Gibbons is now at work on plans for the warehouses, stables and other buildings and bids will be called for the construction of same very soon. President Worth is also receiv ing bids for ordering machinery of the latest type of manufacture. ! British Steamer Towed Ia. j Capt. Wilson, of the British steamer Dapcnfry.re ported yesterday morn ing ashore on Frying Pan shoals,' came up to the city yesterday for a conference with Mr. James. Sprunt, British vice consul. His ves sel had previously been towed into Southport, where she is leaking, with about 18 feet of water in her hold. 8he has been put ashore on Battery Island until her owners can be heard from aslo her disposition.

Atteraey Oeaeral Holds First Taesday la May Legal Date for Holding It. Authorities Cited. In response to an inquiry from City Attorney Bellamy, who i made the request by direction of a caucus of the Board of Aldermen, Attorney Gen eral K. D Gilmer has written that bis construction of the law governing the municipal elections in this city are that they shall in the future be held on Tuesday after the first Monday in May, 1903, and every two years there after. The susceptibility to a double construction of the act, governing the elections, was referred to at length in these columns some time ago, and the Stab takes it that the public is not interested in the legal points involved. Attorney General Gilmer wrote that he had taken the matter up with Rep resentative Morton, of New .Hanover, who also wrote City Attorney Bel lamy at length in regard to the law. In the course of his letter Attorney General Gilmer says: "I have examined Chapter 750 of the Public Laws of 1901 and have reached the conclusion tbat there is no incon sistency between Section land Section 19 of the said Chapter the former sec tion relating to the manner of holding the election and the latter to the time It was the purpose of the Legislature to secure uniformity in the date of municipal elections in ail the towns and cities of Nqrth Carolina. The ex emption of the City of Wilmington from operation of the act by virtue of Section 23 expired on the first day of June, 1901, and from and after tbat date that city became subject to the provisions of the act. I am of the opinion that tne next municipal election in Wilmington should be held on Tuesday after the first Monday in May. 1903. and every two years thereafter. This view is supported by the case of Loughran vs. Hickory 129 N. C. 281, to which case I directed the attention of Mr. Morton, and requested him to refer to it in his letter." PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
