Tba Esther" Coroptny will Perform tb - Bohamian Out on May sothAII the . Favoritsi Retained. Charlotte s talents in amateur operetta have become widely known and favorably criticized throughout the State since, the magnificent and elaborate production of the oratorio of Esther, but at present a most stupendous effort is to be made , to put on the stage in its elegant style the most beautiful and pleasing of all operas, "The Bohemian Girl." The movement has been on foot some little while, lut has only recently materialized into a positive certainty. As is well known to opera-goers, the 'Bohemian Girl" is brimful of fleetest melody and charming num bers enough to attract an audience which will test not only the seating capacity of our large opera house, but the standing room as well. A meeting was held and some of the parts have been assigned. Miss Annie Tate, tlie - sweet-voiced Esther" of the oratorio, will enact the role ol "Arline," the Bohemian Girl, and those who know, say that she can easily conquer that most' difficult part in the opera. Miss Minnic'Wriston, a lady well known for her vocal talents, is to be the "Gipsy Queen." "Happy lack," Baker, will take the part of Floren tine, snd Mr. Ed Martin has been cast for "Devikhoof." The selec tions are happy ones as each part is eminently adapted to the voices of each to whom it is assigned. In connection with the production, aa orchestra of twenty-six pieces, under the able leadership of Prof. Win. Baker, will be organized and thoroughly rehearsed. The books for the orchestra and the librettos for the performers were telegraphed for this morning, and are expected to arrive Saturday. Mooday active DreDaratioas will ensue in order to have everything perfect for tbe atxh of May when the opera will be put 00 la fine shape. After performinc here, it is tbe intention 01 the tioupe to go to Asheville and also to Wilmington, where "Eatber" bad such n bnlliaat reception. REDUCED TO FIFTY DOLLARS. Tbe Mayor Liatsns to Nw Evidence and Takes Off Pas Hundred Dollars (ran Herwla' Fins. Shortly aftert nine o'clock: this morning, Mr. W, C Maxwell, one of our prominent lawyers, appeared belore the mayor's court in behalf of the bookseller Otto Nerwis, and re quested that the cases previously tried and noted in The News, be opened for new evidence. ' Mr. Max well stated that he did this because the defendant t stood mute at the trul, being a stranger and unac qumnted with flie procedure in our courts and no testimony was offered lor the dclcnsef '' Since the trial, ma terial evidence t baa been discovered whjeh, be thought, went,, fax in miti gating the offenses. In reply the mayor stated that be had given Ner wis every opportunity to procure counsel and witnesses, but he, (the mayor,) would be glad to hear any new evidence?;- that Mr. Maxwell thought would affect the case. There upon the court heard statements made by Mr. James Harty, Drs. R. and R. L. Gibbon. Tbe mayor thought that the evidence greatly mitigated two of the offenses, but that the third offense, viz ; - resisting the chief of police called for severel punishment. tie would change toe judgment and impose a fine of $50 on Nerwis, as be was satisfied that the punishment already received had a tendency to inspire him with a proper respect for tbe law in future. The sympathy of tbe public appears to be with the prisoner, and it fa known that another lawyer is look ing after the case, intending to fight it in the courts, if any ground for tbe action can be found.

Since the fight has narrowed down to two, the pulling ol wires has been unceasinr and all tbe influence at command has been brought to bear upon tbe officials who have the ap- noinlino- novrer. br the friends of each. C P. Lockey, the Wilmmg ton lawyer who ran against Rowland in the recent Congressional race in this district, has been in Washington lor a time and is doing a& he can to secure the post mastership for Me Donald.

SPRING ANNOUNCEMENT. 5 WE congratulate our customers and friends upon the return of the genial Spring Season. It is always a pleasant relief to exchange the heavier and more sombre apparel of winter for the lighter, and never has fashion set her seal upon goods for tbe season so attractive and tasteful as they are: , at the present time. Tbe very best advertisement of our goods would be'-v the poods themselves, could they be sent around for general inspection.v.v As this is impossible we faD back on the faithful types to assist us to -describe in some measure the chief feature ol our Spitnfj Stock. By way "f preliminary we may say that we have brought our Ittv.j business expe . rien.'e and knowledge of locil tastes, to the selection of the goods we offer .. and with a result which we hope will be as gratifying to our customers as t'. ourselves. The exttnt of our stock is unusually lurtje and the variety , offered in stvles and the materials are so wide that we think ire in scarcely -y. fail ol satisfying rvcry intending pUrtliascr. In every di-parUnent our stock will beouud to. N complete; nothing having becu neglected, in our. effort to make it the most complete assortment of goods ever ofiered to tbe trading public of this locality. In making our selection we have realized v that to the quality ol the goods sold me must look for the building up ot " that confidence between buyer and seller so essential to a commercial sue cess and permanence. Our customers will find that in respect to quality , our stock has no superior, if any rival, our policy being to sacrifice a margin . -of our profits rather than sacrifice the confidence ol our customers in tbe , goods ww sell. Some rather unusual opportunities have been oflered to -watchful buyers to secure bargains in some ot the desirable standard lines. . These we have taken advantage of and customers will find that our prices V are unusually low, relative to the value ol the goods we offer. We aim 5 to satisfy all classes of buyers, and our stock therefore includes tbe variety . of grades which have correspondingly varied prices. We desire to be ' knoarn for cheapness, but we handle no 'cheap goods, thatis to say, we give even in low price grades the very beat article the market affords for-, the money. It is a shortsighted policy for any merchant to make n repu- tation tor low priced goods at the expense of his reputation for values. No ' article fa really CHEAP which will not return tbe buyer the full value of the money expended in its purchase. Our steady aim fa to satiafy buyers, not only by alluring, bargains, but by the satisfactism that comes in goods that wear and rtand the test of actual use. In the matter ol Novelties we think our stock will leave nothing to be desired. By being early in tbe market we secured tbe early choice of styles and patterns which always gives the buyer the advantage of picking up such seasonable novelties as are soon exhausted, if they prove desirable to purchasers. We commend to our customers our own method, that of early selection, as it follows in ; cases that the patterns which are most fancied are the soonest exhausted. . We speak with conviction when we say that we do not think any previous season has seen a more invitixg display of goods than those to which we direct attention and of which we invite your inspection. And we are sore that it will be a matter of general surprise and congratulation among boy- " ers that we are able to offer so large a choice, and such excellent quality tor prices that are remarkable for their moderation. . 1 Respectfully, " .
