One of the most striking tscenes to be witnessed in the many presented In tbo forthcoming production of "Par sifal." 1? tbe transformation of the magician. Klingsor'3 castle to the magnificent Flower Garden vision of beauty and entrancement. Kundry has been summoned by Klingsor toap pear in his magic castle, but hesitates to comply with his commands, being fearful of his power and designs. By use of his necromantic acts and his compact with the Evi! One, Kundry Ik compelled to bend to his will and appears- In his wizard-like den in a volume of bluo vapor, ue sets ner the task of encompassing tbe destruc tion of Parsiral through her seductive methods, uud. strive as she may against tho odious task, she is con strained o obev his behests. With a shriek of despair and Lh&rrar, ! Kundry. disappears as she came, ivnngsor, gloating overv his prospective victim, continues in his weird and uncanny incantations. Of a sudden, the scene vanishes, and In its place Is Drought to view the wondrotjsly beautiful Flower Garden with its tropical and variegated foliage and flowers. and its denizens of surpassing loveliness, the Flower Maidens. The whole magical change, so deftly arranged in reality that It seems quite In keeping with the apparent occult powers ol the arch wizard Klingsor.

Captain Williams leaves the ser vice of the Navassa entirely of his own volition and takes with him a strong testimonial from vMr.Malloy. president of the company, who bears testimony to Captain Williams' abil ity to assume charge of any steamer that he may undertake. No stronger endorsement could be made than the words used by Mr. Malloy,. "he has performed every duty faithfully and conscientiously without having made a mistake." Captain Williams will be succeeded on the Navassa by Capt. P. T. Dfcksey. of the government steamer II. G.

MORTON ON THE LAW Wilt be Submitted Only to Voters of City Sa ary of Clerk to be $900 Per Year Wilmington Delega tion Returning Home. ii . i The all-absorbing topic of discus sion in municipal circles yesterday was the question of the establishment of a Recorder's Court in Wilmington. While opinions differ as to the advis ability of this measure, it may be stat ed as a fact that there was rejoicing in the ranks of the oppositipn at Mr. Morton's emasculation of the proposed bill. Those: who favored the bill ap parently had nothing to fear from a submission of the question to a vote of the people, and were only disap pointed in the fact that it was not thought best to have one versed in the law to preside over the court. It was freely stated on the street that if Mr. Morton was so much in favor of a vote of the people on all questions, he should be equally as favorable to the election of members of the board r7 Anntr jinn finance in uu oamc manner, a movement for which was rtarted during the day, not that there vr obieetion to the present person nel of this body, but that if the peo ple's rights were to be respectea in one instance, it should be in another. nut nil this was recognized as for eign to the subject, while being dis cussed quite generally. a inner distance interview with Mr. Morton over the telephone last night elicited the information from him that the bill as amended would probably be reported favorably by the Senate committee today, and would most probably come up today, though the calendar in that branch of the Gen eral Assembly is rather crowded at present. Tho bill as now amended is n enmnromlso measure and will pro vide for the question of the establish ment of the court to be submitted to a vote of tho people at the same time voters -being asked to pass upon the question .of the establishment of the court- 'J-, J. '-m.'-. i-"' - ' , Tho county will not t?e asked to pass On the question at all, as there is no election in the county at the time of the municipal election in the city. Tho Wilmineton delejration in Raleigh stated to Mr. Morton, he said, that they were willing to accept the prob ability of the bill's being thrown out on the ground that it provided taxa tion without representation in that the county will have to bear half the expense regardless of whether or not they pass on the question of. who will preside over the court. Tbo cabrv of the clerk of the tro- i posed court will be $900 per year and the official will be elective Dy tne peo ple. Mr. Morton said if there was no curtailment of the jurisdiction of the magistrates, which was Illegal according to. the constitu tion, be would support 'the bill as amended. In that event, it is expected that the act will have sniooth sailing. Senator Bellamy is heartily in favor of It,, as representing what he believes to be tho sentiment of nine-tenths of- j the people of New Hanover. An effort was made to see tne Wil mington delegation or rather to talk with them over the long distance tele phone last night, but it was stated that they had left the Yarborough House and are presumably on their way home and will probably reach here today my Morton stated that his objec tions to the bill as originally drafted were fully set forth in his letter to Alderman Yopp and published in yes terday morning's Star. He has now withdrawn all objection and would support the bill in its present form. PLANS BY MR. COOPER. Southern Life Insurance Company to Build in Fayettevilfe. Yesterday afternoon's Fayettevillc Observer has the following of inter est here: "A beautiful drawing is on exhibi tion In the window of the McDuflle Drug Store of an imposing structure which would do credit not only to Fay-etteville- and Cumberland county, but to North Carolina as well. The archi tect, Mr. Carl B. Cooper, who did this work, has submitted the plans and drawings for the consideration of the Southern Life.

Although he has had no experience . in the large maritime interests of the Seaboard, which will be an important part of his duties at Wilmington, it is expected that he will soon become acquainted with this branch of the service. Mr. Connell leaves the Seaboard to handle the exporting and importing in terests of Martin & Co., a large firm in New York. He has made a host of friends in. Wilmington personally, and for his road, leaving the affairs oi the Wilmington agencji. in excel lent shape.

C, Jan. 31. The Senate this afternoon discussed for more than an hour the Webb bill to put solicitor? on a salary instead of fees, as now, the amount of the salary to be $2,106. Senator McLean, of Robeson, and oth ers, contended that the scale should be $2,500 in districts where the fee amounted to that and. over, the resi due to be paid into the State treasury, and where the fees are less than that figure then the solicitors are to re- ceive only the amount of the fees.
