NEW VOTING PRECINCTS
County Court Makes Charges IN
The Second Ward.
NEW DISTRICT IN ARDEN ALSO
Licenses Were Granted to Druggists,
Hotelkeepers and Others at the
Session on Thursday.

An additional voting precinct ras
teen carved out of the second ward
bv the County court. and that section
of the city will in the future have
three voting places, instead of two.
Another precinct was also made in
the Arden district. in the county.
This action was taken at the session
of the court on Thursday afternoon,
after the matter had been under dis
cussion for several weeks.
Heretofore the second ward was cut
in two by Raleigh street. all voters
living between that thoroughfare and
Queen voting at the court house, and
all residing west of Raleigh voting
at the second ward school building.
Under the new arrangement the pre-
cincts will be divided as follows:
Precinct No. 10, from the north side
of Martin street TO the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, and from the west side
of Queen street to the city limits on
the west; voting place, at Feller's
corner.
Precinct No. ], from the south side
OF Martin street to the north side of
Burke street, and from the west side
of Queen to the western limits OF the
city; voting place in the beard OF
trade room in the city hall.
Precinct No. 4, from the south side
of Burke street to the north side of
King street and from the west side
of Queen to the western limits of the
city; voting place in the court house.
The new precinct in the Arden dis
trict comprises all that section of the
district in precinct No. lying west
of the old Charles Town read and
South Queen street extended, the vot-
ing place to be at Mason's school
house. This will be known as pre-.
cinct No. 8.
In both instances the change was
made because of the heavy vote.
which made the counting long and
the returns slow. This will gut up
the famous "'black belt" in the sec.
ond ward, and will divide the color
ed vote about equally between the
three precincts.
The court considered applications
for licenses from hotels, drug stores,
boarding houses and billiard rooms,
and granted licenses as follows:
Drug Stores-E. O. Shepherd, A.
NJ. Gilbert, j. A. @. Hover, M. A..
Snodgrass, 9. y. WEAVING & Co.. W..

when applications for licenses will b.
again taken up. This will be the last
day that licenses can be secured.

BOOKINGS AT THE GRAND.
At an Early Date-"Veronique."

How Hitchcock Got Even.-One of
the objectionable crimes of an actor is
to miss his cue and cause a stage
wait and many are the stories writ
ten about memorable incidents of this
sort. Raymond Hitchcock, in THE
Galloper," is responsible for the latest.
The other night at the Grand opera
house in New York, Edgar L. Daven-
port, who plays Kirke Warren, the real
"galloper" whom Hitchcock imperson-
ates caught his foot in a fire extin-
guisher rope, was thrown on his back,
and missed his cue. Hitchcock was
facing the audience waiting for Dav-
export to answer the question: who
are you?"
There was an awkward wait and
Davenport had trouble to explain the
cause. Strangely enough, the next
night, in exactly the same place, Dav-
export fell on the stairs, wrenched his
ankle and there was another stage
wait leaving Hitchcock to chew his
lips and think of something funny to
interpolate and avoid trouble.
The following night Hitchcock was
duly blindfolded and then read his
line: Il am Kirke Warren; who are
you?" Davenport was on the spot this
time and exclaimed Il am Copeland
Schuyler and"
Hold on, there," shouted Hitchcock,
Il want to see YOU
He lifted the handkerchief from his
eyes and took a good look at Daven-
port. then exclaimed: We'll, if it re-
ally isn't the late Mr.. Copeland Schuy-
Ter. Let us proceed"

in its tone. Not only is this music be-
witchingly delicate and interesting, but
its Interpretation is of the highest
class. Louise Cunning has made the
whole town resound with praise for
her most wonderful, bell-like voice and
she is compelled TO respond to encore
after encore at every performance.
The equal of her "Springtime' solo has
never been heard in musical opera.
Throughout the three floral scenes, is
the peculiar wit and style of humor.
for which Louis Harrison has long
