North Carolina Cattle May be SCI t

1t will be good news to the we:ern

that the quarantine in Virginia agaust
all North Carolina cattle is to be raied,
and the Federal quarantine line 0Iy

conditions-and conditions with which
Mr.. MewbOrne propose to conform. MI.

The Lizzie Maud Heard From.

Word was received here Saturday by
the friends of Capt. Benjamin T. Spurn.
ing of the good schooner Lizzie Maud,
which ia owned in this city, OF the un.
usual good luck and fine catch of mack
erel by the Lizzie Mand's crew. The
schooner arrived in New York Saturday
with $50 barrels Of mackerel, which was
almost twice as many fish as any other
vessel in the southern mackerel feet
brought in. There were four other ar.
rivals Saturday in New York, as fol-
lows: Schooner Marguerite Hastings,
Capt. Harty. with so barrels; the Aene.
K. Downes. Capt. Chris Carrignn, with
100 barrels and the schooner Hustler.
Capt. Charles Keene. with 80 barrels.
These mackerel catohers report having
met with unusually good luck for this
time of year. They say that the fish
seem to be more plentiful than ever this
season and Capt. Spurning predicts fine
mackerel season.

MAY DAY FESTIVAL.
The Successful Presentation of the
Operetta Laila.

May Day, this year, as is too often the
case in the tickle climate OF the New
England States, proved too disagreea BILE
for out door wanderings in the woods
and consequently the City hall, with its
warmth. and brilliancy, proved all the
more attractive Saturday when the
charming little operetta of Laila was
produced under the auspices of Bosw orth
Relief Corps. Afternoon and evening
there was the childish applause
of large audiences, while thoss Of greater
age were charmed with the fine singing
of the principals and ohornses. thu beauti-
full tableaux, SO skilfully arranged, and
the precision OF the marches. Mr..
Arthur Nd. Sawyer was stage manager,
and that accounts for tho smoothness in
the running of the performances.
The story OF Laila has already been
printed. 1t is pretty fairy tale and
teaches kindness OF heart and charity.
This was the cast of the opera:
Laila, Miss Emily Louise Cobb
The May Queen,
Miss Emily Louise Cobb
Beggar Mother, with ten Children,
Miss Frances b. Howe
Queen of the Fairies,
Miss Frances b. Howe
Blanche, the Mountain Child,
Miss Mildred J.. Varney
Mountain Children Ouartette.
b. Frank Hayden, Albert O. Fine,
Clifford E. Nansen, Carl f. Tuttle.
There were twenty fairies from fairy
land and one hundred mountain
children.
Miss Cobb's presentation of Laila was
excellent and her sweet voice was heard
to great advantage In her solos. Miss
Howe delighted both as the bsggar
mother and the sparkling Queen of the
Fairies. Miss Varney was a taking
Blanche, while the quartette Of noun
tain children were much at home in
their parts.
The tableaux were beautiful and made
exceedingly effective by the use of the
limeslight. These. inol aded the Goddess
OF Liberty, Peace and History, America
the Young Patriot. Hope and Prosperity.
Industry, May Day Picnic. The Choir
Children. Mother and Children. Flower
Girl The Rehearsal, the First Steps, our
Girls, The Mountain Children and the
Fairies, The Angel and Fairlyand.
Miss Carrie B. Manchester showed her
self quite proficient as violinist in her
skilful rendering Of Danela's "air
varie,' and the Lyaiding of the Maypole
proved most taking feature Of the per-
formance as 1t always is. There were
many.encores Of taoleaux, solos, and CON-
certed music. and Laila may be get down
as an unqualified success. The orchestra
was marked feature.

CIGARETTES.
The New Law Has Gone Into Operation

The New Law Has Gone Into operation.
The new cigarette law, restricting the
sale of all kinds of cigarettes to persons
under 81 years of age, went into effect
Saturday. In some places in Portland
where cigarettes have before been for sale
none could be pui chased Saturday and
several young fellows Under 81 years of
age who tried to purchase them were
asked II they were old enough to vote. If
they could not prove that their name
Was, or ought to be, on the voting list
they did not get their cigarettes.
This law reads as follows: "Whoever,
by himself, his clerk, servant or agent.
directly or indirectly, manufactures for
SALE or directly or indireotlyi sells, offers
for sale, has in his possession with intent
to sell, or gives away to any person I'M
der the age of 81 years, any cigarette,
shall be punished by fine not exceeding
$50, or by Imprisonment not exceeding
so days."
Tie law. as it reads, is for the purpose
of prohibiting as far as possible, the
smoking of cigarettes by boys.
The tobacco dealers are of the general
opinion that, for their part, they would
be just as well please to have the sale of
cigarettes prohibited altogether.
One prominent druggist says that he
intends to discontinue keeping cigarettes
after his present stock is disposed of. He
is of the opinion that the sale of ciagrs
will be materiallyfincreased,a will other
forms of tobacco, for pipe use.
The cost Of cigarettes to the dealer is
g. 80 per 1000. this price not including
the COST of shipment This brings the
cost OF box of 10 pieces to little over
3.8 cents. The retail price to the con-
sumner of this box is cents. thus leav-
ing the dealer slightly less that 1.a cents
profit on each box. 1t will thus be seen
how little difference it makes to the deal
er whether he sells cigarettes or not.
I here are brands that sell Mt different
prices. leaving a little more profit: but
| 80 little that it amounts to practically
nothing.
The law together with the many anti
cigarette leagues, and other means, mar
result in time in a marked decreara in
the sale Of cigarettes in this stats.
