J ?S Boys And Girls Dance And Sim HOSPITAL BENEFIT Young Boys and Girls Produce a Delightful Operetta at the Opera House Last Night and the Audij ence is Enchanted Sweet Sing ing, Good Dancing, Excellent Marching A Success. If applause is yet a just arbiter, "The Enchanted Wood" which (was produced at the opera house last night for the benefit of the Billingsley hospital was a decided "hit." - Of the play itself the operetta is a merry, jingling, glittering triumph and is a briliant example of the type of entertainment that that will do more than any other one thing to elevate the stage to a point where it may become a pow er for great good, an institution educational in its scope and at the same time morally uplifting. The Enchanted Wood contains a heap of musical numbers that are new and catchy and an attrac tive, little "plot," if such it may be called for the foundation. A moral that is as pointed as it is timely teaches children that they should Jje contented with their lot and not complain. In short that they should be giood little boys and girls rather than bad. The story of the operetta was printed in the Mascot some days ago. School children at play engage in a quarrel and wander off in the woodslii search of gum when they are lost. The teacher's searchf for her pu pils is in vain. " To Miss Arleene Gilmer was assigned the task of the teacher and her work was su perb. When she rendered "What has become of my children" there was almost deafening applause. The children wonder to the En chanted Wood, where they are ransformed to such characters as best suits their every day disposi tions. For instance when they awake they find themselves Lit tie Miss Muffitt," "Little Boy Blue," "Little Bo Peep," "Simple Simon," "Little Jack Horner," and "Mistress Mary, quite con-. rary." In the Enchanted Wood, Miss Mary McDougald, reigned su preme as the Fairy Queen. She wore a handsome gown of pink, with a long train and was preced ed by two little Flower Fairies, whcT were scarcely big enough to tote the baskets of roses they car ried. They were little Mildred Gill and Mildred Wallace and we suspect that a big portion of the applause that greeted their ap pearance was intended for the youngsters. Miss McDougald sang "Fairy subjects, list our call" most de lightfully, and was followed by Miss Cora Harbin, a3 Mother Goose, who did equally as well with "Mother Goose's request." One of the hits of the evening was the squad of police, with Mas ter Julian Morrison as captain. They gave a very pretty drill and then went off to hunt up the lost school children, whom they find in the domain of the Fairy Queen whieh they take by storm. Finally the children awaKe and finding one another make all kinds of good resolutions, etc., and re turn to their teacher, greeting her with the very pretty song "Wel come teacher, we greet you. and the curtain does down on a grand chorus by the entire company en , . f r : : titled "The dear, old school." 0 . A limited amount of space pre vents a mention of all the "good uns ' ' in the cast but a faithful chronicler would be remiss in his duty did he fail to mention little Miss Edith Moors who as Kitty, afterwards "Litle Bo Peep" was a prime favorite with the audience from start to finish. After she had led a chorus of other pretty young girls in a song, sh was pre sented with a big bouquet of roses by one of her many admirers. Master Jackson Wallace as Si, afterwards "Simple Simon, also deserves special mention. He has the making of a "real actor" in him. The work of Mary Lois Cowles, Elise Wallace, Frank Hill and Al lan Anderson did not fail to re ceive favorable comment. Between acts two and three, a number of specialties were intro duced by Beth Evans, Cora Har bin, Arleene Gilmer, Louise Har bin, Mary Austin Glover, Irene Moore, Ben Cooper, Claude Evans, Clyde Alexander, Franklin Arm field, Robert Rickert and the "Poppy Fairies." "Don't be Cross With Me" was the number that served to "bring down" the house. ; Miss I. Moore lead a chorus composed of the above young ladies and gentlemen. Her costume was a gay one and there was much applause. Misses Angie Mullaly and Mar tha Moore were responsible for the splendid production and to them is due all of the credit, not only for the delightful eneving's entertain ment but the snug little sum which, after the expenses are paid, will be left over for the hospital. It is doubtful, however, if this will be large. The work of training those 50 or 60 youngsters must have been a monstrous one. The former had charge of things back of the cur tain and the later presided most acceptably at the piano. Not only the cause for which the operetta was given, but the play itself deserved a more liberal patronage than it received. The cast of characters in full was as follows : Fairy Queen Miss Mary McDougald. Mother Goose Miss Cora Harbin. Teacher Miss Arlene Gilmer. Maids of Honor Hannah "Wallace and Ruth Gill. Flower Fairies Mildred Gill and Mildred "Wallace Train Bearer Margaret Flanigan. Water Sprites Hassie Miller and Bessie May Simon Wood of Nymps Carie McDougald and Esther Dinglehoef.

Court Will have to Decide Whether Register ot "Deeds-Elect, who Once Served Term in Jail, is Eligible to Hold Office, SDrine: Hope, Nov. 9 The after election interest here cen tres in the fight that is to take place concerning the man who is to be register of deeds in Nash county. J. B. Boddie, who was postmaster at Nashville during Cleveland's administration, was nominated by the Democrats and endorsed by the Republicans. It is said here that Republicans went into the Democratic prim ary and helped nominate him. and indorsed him when they held their county convention . Two days before the election E, T. unnin, a Demorcrate,, announ ce! himself as an independent candidate- Boddie received 2,895 votes, Griffin only 132, as was noted I - - Postmaster of New York Shot ASSAILANT KILLS HIMSELF. Man Who had Been Refused a Po sition by Postmaster Morgan Lies in Wait for Him in the Street and Shoots Him, Imme diate Thereafter Committing Suicide Mr. Morgan Carried to His Home Seriously Wound ed. New York, Nov. 10. Postmaster Edward M. Morgan was shot yester day while on his way to his office, by a disappointed office-seeker named Mackey, He is in a serious condi tion. His assailant committed sui cide immediately after the shooting. Mr. Margan was hurried home and his wound is regarded as serious. He was accom pained by his daughter when shot The man who shot him had impor uned Morgan for i position in the postoffice. but he had been refused. He tried to see the postmaster at his home several times, but did not succeed. He lay and wait for him on he street this morning and spoke a ew words to him before shooting. Mr. Morgan was appointied post master last year. He hid been ad vanced from a letter carrier to the position of head of the office. There are indications that Mackay had for a lon3 time plained the death of the postmaster. Before coming postmaster of New Yorlr Mr Morgan had had charge of an inves tigation of dishonesty in connection with the work of postal clerks in the city, and the police theory is that Mackay at some time suffered through Mr. Morgan's vigilance. 4 0 CAN'T SEXD LEPER EARLY HOME Secretary Cortelyou Announces That He Agrees With Bonaparte. Washington, D. C, Nov. 9. Secretary Cortelyou, in a state ment today, announced chat he concurred in the recent decision- of Attorney-General JBonapaite against the deportation of John R. Early, the North Carolina leper,, who is kept here under, guard. Mr. Cortelyou holds that while he has authority to make regu lations to prevent the introduc tion of contagious or infectious diseases into a state or territory or the district of Columbia from any state, he has no authority to make any rule by which Early can be legally deported from this city, or the State of North Caro lina required to receive mm. in this correspondent some days Boddie once coniessea to irreg ularities while serving as post master at Nashville and was sen tenced to a term in the penitenti ary and served a term in .jail. It isnow said that he iff not elig ible to the office. Because of this E.T. Griffin announced his can didacy at the eleventh hour, and it is said, will make a strong pull for this office. It seems that a number of eminent lawyers have said that Boddie is meligble. Others say that he can hold the office. The fight will begin in earnest when it comes time to swear in the new officials. The courts will be asked to decide the matters. There is no question that has come' before the people of thie county in years that has created bo much interest and discussion. Each and every man has an opin ion to offer. A final adjustment of the matter will be awaited with interest. o Mr. Burke Returns. Mr. Flake T. Burke has resign ed his position as manager of the dairy at the Baptist (orphanage at Thomasville. He returned to his home in this city last Saturday. ' -jj; ill ! : - I : i Hi (
