was Shakespeare as snakespeare
would have it played, and the novelty
was appreciated by worshippers at the
shrine of the Bard of Avon. The scen
ery is copied from an old nrint of
Middle Temple Hall, Londojf where
so many of the plays were acted in
the Elizabethan period. The cos
tumes were scrupulously correct and
elaborate, according to those compet
ent to judge such matterss. Many pro
nounced the presentation last night
the best that they had ever seen of
i"The Merchant of Venice." There is
not a poor or indifferent actor in the
cast and the play has been well sum

Mr. Greet and the "Portia" of Miss

but not seriously injured early last

Mr. Rouse and Mr. W. F. Btolter were
driving in a buggy down town and in
passing the store of W. Munroe &
Co., a lot of building material was
piled in the street from the work go
ing on at that place Mr. Rouse was
bruised in several places quite severe
ly, making it necessary for him to
be taken to the hospital in the 'ambu
lance which was summoned. Mr. StoK

Justice Borneanan yesterday re
ceived from Florence, S. C, the offi

Joke on the Doctor.
They're telling a good one on a cer
tain down town physician or special
ist who has room over his office in
one of the "Wildings not a hundred
miles from Front and Chestnut streets
Wednesday night he was sleeping so
soundly and snoring so loud that the
policemen on the beat were attracted
by theCnoise and thinking that some
one was breaking in they rushed pell
mell up the steps to catch the sup
posed burglar. They were quite as
muehs. chagrined as the doctor when
the real cause of the trouble was made
known.
Florida Orange Shipments.
Mr. W. F. Miza, representing tne
large wholesale produce commission
house of J. & G- Lippman, of New
York, is in the city on his way to loos
after shipments of Florida oranges
to his house, which handles much of
the Eastern North Carolina truck.
Mr. Miza says that the FloFida orange
crop this year is estimated the heavi
est on record and that already the
transportation companies are chock a
block with the movement. It is ex
pected that the Coast Line will handle
out of Florida this season something
like 13,000 cars and that the Seaboard
will handle between 4,000 and 5,000.
THE LOCAL STEAMBOATS.
Supervising Inspector Here Yester
day A Boiler Condemned.
Col. J. W. Oast of Norfolk, super
vising inspector of this district of the
service, spent yesterday in tne city
with Local Inspectors Rice and Bor
den, of Charleston. The City of Fay
etteville was inspected daring the
day as was also the Tar Heel, of the
Tar Heel Steamboat Company which
has been laid up some time here for
repairs. The City of Fayetteville
successfully passed the inspection but
it is understood that the boilers of
the Tar Heel were condemned by the
Supervising Inspector.
Col. Oast, it is learned, was here in
quiring into the conditions as to the
matter of requiring two sets of crews
on the river boats operating more
than 12 hours. It seems that the mat
ter has not yet beep finally settled.

Cape Fear Machine Wtorks. Mr.
Huske has not yet decided in what
he will engage. Mr. Everett is al
ready acquainting himself with the
duties of his new position .and is be
ing cordially greeted by his friends
at The Orton.
The New Tourist Hotel.
In view of the expiration of the
option on the Moore and Hanby prop
erties at Second and Chestnut streets,
the conamitlee from the Chamber of
Commerce which wag appointed some
time ago to promote the movement
for a new tourist hotel in Wilming
ton, at the location named, will make
a canvass of the city next week for
subscriptions to the stock of the com
pany. Mr. W. A. Dick, chairman of
the committee and the leader of the
movement for the new hotel, speaks
very sanguinely of the prospects. ,
aganda, the Board of Audit and Fi
nance of the city last night at its reg
ular meeting tabbooed the deep well
proposition as a source of supply, hold
ing that the expenditure of $3,500 as
an experiment before the matter has
been even submitted to the people, on
a question of bond issue, would be pre
mature and unwise. It will be remem
bered that the matter came over from
the Board of Aldermen at a former
meeting, but the matter was postpon
ed for a full meeting of the Board.
The Board of Aldermen, by a divided
vote, had adopted the report of the
Water Commission calling for the
sinking of deep wells on lands donat
ed by Mesrss. Willard and others, af-
ter a heated discussion, and it was
then up to the Board of Audit and Fi
nance to approve the appropriation
so that the work could be gone into a
once.
Chairman Johnson, of the Commis
sion, was not present at the meeting
last night to advocate the report, be
ing confined to his home by illness
and there was very little general dis
cussion of the question, a majority or
members of the Board expressing the
opinion that it would be well to wait
until the Legislature meets in Janu
ary and provides the necessary ma
chinery for putting the municipal own
ership plan to the people for a vote
on the question. While the contract
for the proposed wells called for half
a million gallons of pure water per day
the Board was not willing to accept
the system of deep wells as a source
of supply for a city plant until an ex-
ipert had passed on the question, it
was pointed out that there was noth
ing to be gained anyway, by a brier
postponement and therefore the action,
above named was taken.
There were present at the meeting
last night Chairman McQueen and
Messrs. Yates, Wilder and McNair.
The communication of the Board of
Aldermen with reference to its action
at the afternoon meeting upon the pe-,
tition of the Society of Colonial Dames
was transmitted in an official commu
nication from City Clerk Fowler and
the same was unanimously approved
to the amount of $300 or so mucn
thereof as is needed-
Mr T. W. Callahan, contractor for
the five deep wells in different parts
of the city, was present and stated
that he desired ,to withdraw from his
contract. One of the proposed welTs
was to be at Front and Red Cros&
streets and the apparatus for sinking
the well is already on the grounds.
The Board saw nothing else to do than
to release Mr. Callahan as he asked.
It was later stated by Alderman Price
a member of the Water Commission,
that the action of Mr. Callahan was
inspired by some misunderstanding
that he had with Chairman Johnson,
of the Committee. These wells' have
nothing to do with the municipal own
ership plant, the Board having agreed
to an appropriation for sinking five
wells like the one in the City Hall
yard in different parts of the city ror
the benefit of the inhabitants. The
contract was $150 each.
Recommendation of the Finance
j Committee of the Board of Aldermen
that Messrs. William J. Bellamy, Em
pie & Empie and John D. Bellamy &
Son be paid $500 for their services in
the suit of City of Wilmington vs E
K. Bryan, involving the back tax mat
ter, was concurred in. The attorneys
had rendered a bill to the Board of
Aldermen for $750 and that Board re
ferred the matter to its Finance Com
mittee with power to act.
Chairman Price of the Library Com
mittee, was present and secured from
the Board certaia concessions in the
way of the time for the beginning of
the librarian's salary, dating the same
back to September 15th.
Alderman Price also submitted a
tentative plan for tne wiring of the
two upper floors of the City Hall build
ing for electric lights at a cost of $215.
Action upon the matter was postponed
as the plan provided no fixtures and
the like.
The Board after nassing numerous
bills for current expenses adjourned
sine die
Advertisements for the Sunday ed
tion should be sent to this office not
later than 12, noon, Saturday.
