The Two Jolly Rovers. Thi.
exceedingly funny farce-comedy
will be the next attraction at Wag-
ner opera house, January zoth.
Theye is no plot 10 the play II is
a lot of stuff thrown together to
make people laugh-and it does.
It's roaring farce, played by clev-

thusiastic as they are large. The
performance is entirely different
from others, being full of special
ties, it is vaudeville performance
with all that goes to make an en-
joyable one. The 1.-TWO Jolly
Rovers carries the strongest head

ever with farce comedy; including
the -Four Millions in a musical COM

did Jesus Live 100 Years B.
C.r is the title Of bulky volulna
written by G. r. S. Mead. The
particular subject dealt with in the
present substantial library volume
has been brought to Mr.. Mead's no
tdcc by a curious set of circumstan-
Gus in which a number Of his friends
IRON various parts Of the world
have communicated to him the re-
suits Of investigation, research and
contemplation, all tending to the
same conclusion, that Jesus was
born 100 years prior to the date re-
corded BY history. In the first place
the author considers the Christian
tradition that Jesus was born in the
reign of Herod and was put to
death under Pontius PLATE. In the
second he acquaints the reader with
the Ialmud Jeschu stories, which
purport to preserve traditions Of
the life and date Of Jeschu's death,
which vary on almost every point
with the Christian account. Third
iy, he investigates the Toldoth Je-
schu, or medieval Jewish Jesus le-
gends. And, lastly, he takes into
consideration some very curious
passages in the writing Of the
Church father, Epiphanius Of Sala-

A SAVING OF STEPS.

If a telephone would save you al
half dozen trips a day-it usually
saves people from three to six times
that wouldn't it be an eco
nomical investment?
A telephone iii your house or
place of business costs you less than
10 cents a day. Six trips a day
would cost you not less than ten
cents each, or a total Of 90 cents.
In month this would foot up the
enormous total of SIS counting
Sundays and ALL But some bust
ness men use their phone 100 or
more times a day. They couldn't t
do without it.
Wen install your phone for you
in a days notice. Our local ex-
change and toll system have all
been overhauled and placed in a

ENIOlNED AGAINST ILLEGALITY.
A Curious Case Now Being Heard in
Supreme Court.

An interesting question is being argued
in the Supreme Court. 1t comes from
Onsow county, and is to whether or not
a man can be entoined against doing an
illegal act.
1t originated in Jacksonville, where r.
w. Hargett took out an injunction to
keep }. +. Bell from selling liquor, CON
trary to an ordinance. The injunction
was taken out before Judge Allen and
Bells place was closed one day. An ap-
plication was made to Judge Ferguson to
dissolve tht order and he did SO, and Bell
opened IN.
Hargett appealed from the order set
ting aside the Injunction and the case Is
being heard as to whether or not Bell
can be enjoined against doing an illegal
act. His attorneys say not, and that an
Indictment after is what might be the
process. Hargett is represented by Bus

WRECKED ON GULL
SHOALS
The Dunnock Goes to
Pieces, But the Crew
are Saved.
Especial to News and observer)

Elizabeth City, N. c., March 5.-The
schooner Dunnock, lumber laden, from
New Bern to Norfolk, was wrecked on
Gull Shoals off Roanoke Island, Wednes-
day morning. Captain T. D. Munford and
the mate arrived here this morning from
Roanoke Island on the Neuse. and this
was the first news of the wreck that had
reached the city.
The Dunnock had aboard $4,000 feet of
lumber, and when nearing Roanoke Island,
it was discovered that she had sprung a
leak. and Captain Munford headed for the
shoals, thinking that if he could make a
landing he might possibly save the cargo
if not the ship.
The wind was beating heavily upon him.
and the boat being manageable, he
struck on Gull Shoals, and the ship went
to pieces. The crew managed to reach
the shore in their boat, after great hard
ships and several very narrow escapes.
The schooner and cargo were an entire
loss.
Captain Munford arrived here this
morning on the Neuse and Immediately
notified the owners of the ship of the
wreck 1t is not known how much in
surance was carried on the vessel.
