no trouble
The ladies and gentlemen in the cast
Of Esmeralda, which is to be presented
at an early date for the benefit of hos
pital fund, are requested to meet for re
hearsal at the hall on Tuesday evening
at $50 o'clock
We understand that no steps have
been taken to clan out Morris street-or
that part of it where the cess pools are
to be found. The sanitary police should
make thorough investigation and see
that something is done at once
The 3.year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
John G. Scott, on Watkins street, died
last night of scarlet fever and was buried
to-day. The other children are all i'm
proving. Much sympathy is felt for the
stricken household in their affiiclion.
"A Washington City special to the
Wilmington Messenger, dated Yesterday,
corrects an error in regard to Hon John
Nichols. 1t says: Hon. John Nichols
will soon go into private business here.

The revival at North Durham mis-.
sion, conducted by Messrs P. NJ. Briggs
and r. Hibberd, is being largely attended
and has awakened much interest. Twen-
tY-two persons have professed conversion

The Durham postOfflce controversy
has about played out. The excitement
I is over and all are waiting for the result
to be announced Buck Blackwell is in
Washington watching that end of the
line, while his friends here are hoping
that he will succeed. And his friends
are counted by the hundreds
People who miss the entertainment
at the court house this evening will miss
the greatest intellectual treat which Dur
ham has enjoyed for many months. In
point of art the pictures which will be
shown have never been approached by
anything heretofore exhibited, and all
should make it a point to attend.
The question of sewerage is not re-
ceiving the attention which it should. The
fact that scarlet fever is alredy beginning
its deadly work, should impress upon
the authorities the Importance Of enfor-
cling sanitary measures and looking after
such districts as will be liable to effect
the health of the city. Summer will
soon be here and there is no time to be
lost.
People who are talking about want
ing house to rent, should ring off until
they look at the Leary house, on Cleve-
land street. 1t is one of the best houses
in town which can be rented, and the
rent is cheap-the house considered. See
c. G Taylor or A. f. Lloyd, and they
will tell you about it We notice that it
is vacant, and we know that some one
can rent it.
From the best sources we learn that
people of Durham are unduly excited
concerning the prevalence of scarlet
fever Where there have been cases
thorough fumigation is going on; th"s"
who have been exposed are kept within
their homes, and there is not, in the
opinion of the city physicians, any cause
for alarm. Due caution and cleanliDc 50

Colonel Aung Ding Lee, our Celes
, tial washee man, says that if the supreme
court holds that the Geary law is consti-
I tutional, that lie will refuse to register

The Washington correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer says: r. B..
Glenn's friends say that the report that
he was candidate for the collectorship
was started by some of his enemies for
the purpose of influencing the appoint
ment of district attorney, which they
thought would be made between the 5th
