counsel, waived examination and
were bound over to the 8uperior
CourL The Mayor at first fixed bond

thoee smounts upon the grounds tbat
they were excessive and more than
enough to ensure the attendants upon
the higher court. Af fer argument tbe

and the bonds of Mabel Carleton and
Laura Eeetor were fixed at $50 each.
The eaah was deposited and tbe de-
fedants were released. Beaidea tbe

Wilmington with a cast of fifty peo
ple from a run of one solid year In
New York at their celebrated Broad
way theatre. The book and lyrics of
"Hoity-Toity" are by Edgar Smit
the musio by that master musician
John Stromberg. The scenery of
"Hoity-Toity" is beautiful, and it is
aaid that the dazzling loveliness and
fabuloua glory of the costumes will ba
a revelation, even in tnese days or
utter disregard of money in tbe staging
ef musical comedies.

balanced company presented Shakes

Nigtb," at the Academy of Music yes
terdav. matinee and night. Where all
I did well, there is little need of specific
praise. As tne beautiful and compli
cated little love story of tbe master
playwright, with its accompaniment
of wit and buffoonery, was unfolded,
the audience vociferously gave evi
dence of Its approrsl of the play and
players.

CAN'T TAX SALARIES OP JUDGES.
Supreme Coart So Decided la Lengthy
Opinion Delivered Yesterday.
Special Star Telegram.
RaIiEigh, N. C, Oct. 15. In an
elaborate opinion delivered to-day the
Supreme Court rules in the case of
Judge Thos. R. Purnell vs. Sheriff
Page, of Wake county, that judges of
the United States and State courts and
the exclusive officer of those respec
tive governments, are not liable for
the State tax on incomes, their reason
being chiefly that the power to tax in
clude the power to destroy, and if a
State were allowed to tax a United
States officer one dollar it might tax
him to the full amount of his salary
and thus arrest all the measures of
government.
Import Portagaese Labor.
