How-land, a timid oountry sport with a sad eyed expression was in tbe Mayor's Court today, Howland awoke this morning from a weary Jag with two charges pre ferred against him in tbe Court Several witnesses testified that he was drink yesterday at the depot and was also indecently exposed Howland said the 16th of November was an entire blank in his mind. Mayor Buss taxed him 86 and oosts as an admonition to keep his wits together in the future. Howland had an ugly razor and a big ball dog pistol on his person when arrested, so the charge of C. C. W stared him in the face. In his failure to thoroughly satisfy the Court that be had a good reason for oarrying the implements of war, he was sent on to Court under a 826 bond. Mayor Russ asked Howland what brand of liquor be had been drink, ing. "Corn" said the prisoner. '"The wonder is that you did not do worse" responded his honor. George Cross is something of a juggler. He touched a Wilmington street habitue for a shirt and a bot tle which oontained a quart of liquor. Now George is in jail awaiting Court. His bond Is 850. The Next Attraction at the Academy Is "Agnes Wallace Villa, in Frank Harvey's tear drawing, heart-ren dering melodrama of English country and oity life. The World Against Her' is tbe attraction at the Academy next Friday night and as the play is one of that olass which appeals to the feminine heart, a large audienoe will doubtless be recorded. The World Against Her is vastly differ ent from the average emotional melodrama of the present day. Tbe story of a wife placed in a question able light, through no fault of her own; the indignation of her husband, who oasts her off; her lonely strug gle for existence and battle to prove her innocenoe, and the final triumph of right and justice over vlllanlry, has been told over and over again in many different ways, and the play Is only one version of this story. It is played by a strong oast, the mem bers of which as a rule, do effective work." Taxation or Churches In Raleigh. Bev. D. H.
