THE CANTATA OF ESTHER.

The musical event of the season,
and one long in preparation, is the
Sacred and Oriental Cantata of
Esther, the Beautiful Queen, by the
faculty and students of the Normal
School. This is a dramatization of
the Bible story that is always at
tractive and one which arouses a
great deal of interest. That the
public is anxious to see the perform
ance which promises to be of a very
high order, is shown by the fact
that the reserved seats were all sold
within an hour or two of the open
ing of the board on Saturday morn
ing, and all day there was demand
for more seats than were obtainable.
It should be remembered that there
is a seating capacity of more than
two hundred in the benches at the
Opera Hall, not reserved and which
are accessible at the very moderate
price of Is cents. All the indica-
tions point to packed house and
many are requesting the repetition
of the performance on Saturday
evening. This has not yet been
determined as there are several cir
cumstances which make the immedi-
ate decision to repeat quite out of
the question.

THE STUDENTS EYES.
Every now and then we hear of
some brilliant young fellow blighted
in his career because his eyes gave
out.
Parents should see to it that be-
fore permitting their children to
take up any prolonged course of
study, the eyes are in condition to
stand the strain; the surest way to
determine this is to have them ex-
amiued by competent eye special
ist, so that if glasses are needed,
they are worn before it is too late.

HEARING ENDED
IN LIQUOR CASES
Right Of Express Companies to
Deliver Whiskey in Dry Towns
Point at Issue.

After hearing argument by counsel
iinsthe liquor shipping cases from South
west Virginia yesterday, the State
Corporation Commission took them
under advisement to determine the va.
rious legal questions involved.
Though number of lawyers appear
ed the chief speeches were made by
Judge William Hodges Mann, of Not
toway, and Judge William Gordon
Robertson, OF Roanoke, who have fire.
qnently locked horns before Legislative
committees on the liquor question.
Judge Robertson having often appear
ton.
Novel Points Raised.
The questions raised In this case are
entirely new. Not long ago the city
of Radford and the towns OF Saltville,
Glade Springs. Wytheville and Marion
adopted ordinances providing for fines
against any common carrier which de-
livered packages OF liquor consigned
to persons within their corporate limits.
Roanoke being wet city had been do
ing good jug trade with these places
up to the time OF the adoption of the
ordinances. Then there came falling.
of in business, chiefly because the ex-'
press company declined to ignore the
action OF the Councils. But STATE
law requires express companies to &C.
cept all packages duly presented for
delivery. and the corporation was thus
in this position of being compelled to
violate law no matter what course
1t took. The liquor dealers in Ron
noke then employed Messrs. Robertson
and Wingfield to test the validity OF
the ordinances before the Corporation
Commission
There was no oral testimony at the
hearing yesterday and the proceedings
consisted mainly OF statements and
brief arguments by counsel.
Judge Mann raised the point that the
commission had no jurisdiction in the
matter. and even II 1t had. there was
no way of enforcing It's orders.
Need Not Worry.

for the city OF Radford, and incident

that il the commission decides to take

There was good deal OF cross firing
from time TO time between counsel.
