There seems to be no cause for the rash act. For six weeks the young man had suffered from depression and several times had said he intended to kill himself, but it was. thought that the remarks were due to despondency and were not based on any fixed pur pose, -i-i';; - ', ';: ,J i t Young Caldwell had been up town most of the day and started toward home shortly after 5 o'clock. On his way homeward he met $ friend, to whom he said he intended to do away with himself. - His statement caused some alarm, and upon being communi cated to a' member of Mr. Caldwell's family, a kindly effort was , made to change the young man's frame of mind Without further discussion of his purpose the boy walked, into his fath er's house, passing . tnrougn tne nail in which his sisters were seated, and going to his room on the second floor, he - closed . the doof. A second . later the pistol shot was fired.'- vUpon this one of, his sisters ran to the room. She, found,'; it in darkness and hurriedly struck a light She then saw that her brother was lying on bis back across his bed. He had placed the revolver acrainst his left breast and the bullet had penetrated the heart, producing death almost instantly,' ' f , " Young Caldwell had served two years in the United States Navy. Since his return home a year ago he had had several attacks of illness and had suff ered more or less from melancholy.'" Tasca, The Band Master. ' , One day, in the year 1865, - tt fair- haired, blue-eyed Italian youth sat in his room In a boardingJhouse ' at Milan. Before him was a muaio stand upon which rested a copy of the score of the recently produced opera "AW a" by Verdi. Through the window floated the sweet strains of the priests' march, exquisitely : rendered ; on the flute by the J young 'Italian." An old, "gray haired man who. was walking along the thoroughfare came to a sudden stop as the music arrested his ; atten tion, and he remained in a listening attitude until the player ceased. - Then the listener mounted the ; stens of (the house and knocked. An old wo man answered his summons, t and the man inquired the name of the occu pant of the room from which the muslo had : issued,; , fie was told that the young musician was a student at one of the conservatories and that his name was,?uclijde Tasca. The visitor proceeded to the young man's room. He was admitted by the student, who inquired the business. . The old man said he had been attracted by the flute playing and asked the musician to re peat the piece.' ; The young man com plied, and when he had . finished, his unbidden- guest became enthusiastic. He complimented the young musician on his ability and execution, grasping him by the hand said: , . . "Do you know who Ism?" The student answered in the nega-1 tive. 'My name is Verdi," said the visi- jor . . - . . Further details of the conversation are unnecessary, bufhee it to sav that the utudent Tasca. immediatfil t hpf amn the Drotesre of the creat comooser, and i in -a short time was engaged as a soloist in the orchestra of the La Seal a theatre.

' ' ' . ' Almost breathless interest was man ifest In the proceedings ss the prospec tive jurors were under the fire of ques tions from the counsel on both aides,, and a large part of the venire was ex hausted before court took a recess for dinner, at which time nine jurors had been selected and sworn to pass upon the guilt or innocence and sanity of the prisoner 3 a ( ' : It was noticeable that a large num ber of fhe veniremen had formed and expressed the opinion that the prisoner was guilty; though in some cases this fact dtd not act as a bar to the accept ance of the juror, according to the cir cumstances under which that opinion bad been expressed. i- The State used two of theltf'four per- emtry challenges and the defense, which have 23. had used 10 when court took a recess for dinner. ' " , " " ' i The case is to be an ably- contested one, botn state ana aeiease. navtng a strong array, of the best; legal i talent obtainable, and the conduct of the pro ceedings la the selection of the jury is evidence that every move is to be made after considering and being carefully weighed.' -Mr. Clark, who was to ap pear in the case for , the defense, was unavoidably absent on 'account - of sickness, but the defendant will have the benefit of as good legal acumen a fs obtainable in eastern Carolina.

' '' ' - - - ,Tbusitcan be seen that whatever the result of the trial it cannot be said that it was for lack of counsel that the result was not what the losing side would have it. - The case, it is thought, will consume the greater part of the balance of the week and the Frank Davis trial will come up Monday,' a special venire of 150 having been ordered for it today. The following cases have been dis posed of since yesterday morning: . State vs Daniel White, larceny of a cultivator from Mr, Kennedy, a few miles from Kinston.'

All Parts Were Well Taken. A Last night It seemed that all Kins ton had turbed out to the opera house to witness the presentation., of the Cuban Spy, Word had gone forth that a 'select company of local talent would appear, and that an entertain ment would be given for the benefit of our town library and these two fac tors proved a drawing card. If every body didn't go out, most people thought about it, and a large number of homes were represented In the house that was assembled. .. ; If was a great big home gathering from beginning to end, and it was fully So joyed as such.! But a home gather lug as it was, few if any more thor oughly enjoyable entertainments have been presented in this town.' For it Is a very mild expression to say that the play was a success - and, enjoyed' by everybody. . , ' , ; As a prelude to the performance, and interspersed at frequent Intervals during the play was the beautiful and appropriate Instrumental music ren tiered by Miss - Inex ' Wooten at the piano. Miss Woo ten's skill and grace is well known iq the publio of Kinston and admirably did ' she supply . the demands of the occasion for a well equipped orchestra. ' . --' , The play Itself is a thrilling comedy drama in four acts, by Frank Dumont. It posseses much strength of ' plot and affords ample opportunity for skillful ctlng throughout tbe rendition. And ell did the characters take advantage :i their opportunity. 1 t , V The cast of characters was as fol lows:-1.'".; '"-"- K,J ' "( Little Cuba....;.:.;Mlss Mary Roeers '.ii'larJMOjRenrj T.

Rob ert Cox and John Bailey, together with Mrs. M. H. Carr, as Bridget Monahan, will long be remembered as Incomparable fun-makers. . They show ed great shlll and ability in finding out laughable situations, and present ing them in such a way as to make people laugh, . In this they exhibited talent of a high order. Miss Gienn Mewborn, as Hannah, and Miss Bessie Cobb,' as Sophie, a waiting maid, played their parts well and with much ease afforded a strong support to the play. , . The more serious part of the play was presented by Miss Ma.y Rogers, the Cuban Spy, Mr. Henry T. Miller, a young American captain ; aiding the patriots, and Messrs. F. L. Hart - and W, E. Albritton, Spanish officers. ; Mr. Miller was especially successful In impersonating an American army ofQoer. He has a fine voice, his enun ciation was faultless, and the ease and naturalness of his manner in speaking and acting ; was marked. He might well be mistaken for a professional rather than an amateur. Miss Rogers took the part of the heroine in the play,; and . presented it admirably. From , a stow-a-wsy on shipboard . to the liberator of Richard Carson and the despbiler of the wicked schemes of the Spaniard, her part was well played and elicited much admiration, r : ; Mr. Hart, impersonating an officer secretly in the Spanish pay, showed decided ability in playing his part. and Mr. Albritton as Lopea, was fre- . 1 A - ' . , , , 8ncce9S lo ta.knr th l'art of Spanish lu - r' """K huP w opanisn The Sailors, Messrs.
