OPERA COMPANY'S TROUBLES.

Two Prima Donnas Cause the nI-Feeling
Which Finally Breaks Up the Troupe.
CHARLESTON, S. c., June 2O.-The
O'Neill Grand Opera Company, organized
in New York last April and which has
been playing a successful engagement
here for six weeks, collapsed last even
ing. The company had two prima
donnas, Miss Bertini Humphreys and
Miss Della Porte. A cabal, it is alleged
was formed against Humphreys by Della
Porte, in which Richie Ling. the tenor,
and Max Herschheld, the director, it is
alleged, took Della Porte's side.
Last week the company played in Sa
vannah, and they were to open a return
engagement here last night. There was
some dispute between Manager L
Arthur O'Neill, proprietor of the com
pany, and Max Herschheld, the director,
as to the repertoire announced for the
week.
Yesterday afternoon Herschfeld sent
through his lawyers, letter to 0 Neill
demanding his pay for last week
0'Neill claimed that the weeks pay was
not due till Tuesday. Herschfield there
upon refused to conduct the opera and
the manager announced that the
director having refused to perform his
duties, the company was disbanded nd
all salaries forfeited.
The engagement had been very sue.
cessful and financial troubles did not
enter into the fight. 1t was a purely
musical one.

PULASKI STAYS OUT.
Celebrated Civil Service Case
Decided Against Him.

The Washington letter. Carrier Loses His
Suit for writ Of Mandamus to Compel

His Reimbursement.

ing, rendered decision refusing writ
of mandamus to George T. Pulaski, to
compel the Civil Service Committee 10
approve his reinstatement re as a substitute
letter carrier.
Pulaski passed the civil service exami-
nation for the position, and in August
1892, his name was placed on the eligible
list for appointment,
On January 23, 1898, Postmaster Sher.
wood, Of Washington, made q requistion
upon the Civil Service Commission for a
candidate for appointment. Three
names were supplied. Pulaski was
selected from the list and received
notice frcm the postmaster Of his
appointment. He was dropped from the
rolls by direction of the postmaster
general under instruction Of the Ciyi
Service Commission that the appoint.
ment was irregular.
Pulaski contended that he was unlaw-
fully removed from his position and
applied for a writ of mandamus to com
pei the postmaster general to re-instate
him and the commission to approve the
Reinstatement
Judge Bradley discussed in detail the
Civil Service law and the points made by
the petitioner and reached the conclusion
that 1t was apparent from the facts in
the case that Pulaski having been irregu.
larly appointed had no absolute legal
right to the office in which he was placed
that would justify the court In interfer.
ing, The court therefore refused the
writ prayed for.
