productions. Unlike the average comic
opera IL is not dependent upon bolster
BUSINESS or buffonery. Indeed, there is
a noticeable and welcome absence OF both
but that does not mean that amusing
elements are excluded or that there is
a lack of Frightening wit and humor.
The piece is dainty as To it's fun and
froic and delicious as to it's musical
setting.
There are solo numbers of exquisite
quality. while none the less interesting
and charming are the choruses espe-
cially those allotted To the female
voices. They are graceful. flowing and
full of melody, without being trashy.

The bill of complaint brought by At
torney ]. ]. Coniff against the Wood
Bros. planning Mill Company. Assignee
Wagner and the Consolidated Building,
Loan and Trust Company, has not been
filed vet but as some erroneous publ
cations have been made concerning
the matter, it may be stated that the
action is based, in substance, upon the
alterations. which follow: The action
is not brought by dissatisfied stock
holders but by creditors of the Plan
ing Mill Company, some of whom are
stockholders. 1t is purely creditors
suit and the primary object is to over
turn certain liens and priorities, and al
en- 10 attack certain liens on record.
It is alleged by plaintiffs in the cause
that certain directors of the company
have fixed their own salaries, in viola
ton of law, which will be contested,
and it is also intended to contest the
validity of a certain loan Of $4,000,
made by the Consolidated Building.
Trust and Loan Association. The as
sienment will also be attacked because
the assignee is permitted to go on and
do work, not only to complete con-
tracts already under way, but on con-
tracts upon which work was not COM
menced at the time of the assignment,
and on which work has not yet been
commenced, and it is claimed by plain
tiffs in this suit that money will be
lost on all the contracts. A point is
also made in the case of the contract OF
the school house at Salem, upon which
So. 500 has been advanced by the State
1t is claimed that this advance money
is now an asset for the benefit OF all
the creditors of the company, but that
under the assignment that asset will
be risked. These points and others
will arise in the suit brought, and the
resulting litigation will be interesting
On the 18th inst, the application to
vacate and annul the assignment and
appoint a receiver for the company Will
come up.
There will be an interesting argu-
ment before the Supreme Court at
CbCarleston, Saturday, in the
case of w. H. Chapman, defendant in
