aTHE ROHTMIlN GIRL.-

II is said that the most sensational
success OF the past several seasons
has been scored by the Aborn Opera
Company I'm its modernizod version Of
Balfes ever popular opera. "rhe Bo-
hemian Girl" which Is to be presented
at The Playhouse Saturday afternoon
and night. The beautiful ballads for
which the opera is justly famous, for
nearly seventy years. have been suiil-
cient to keep il in high favor with all
music lovers. Milton and Sargent
Aborn thought that new charm could
be added to it without sighting the
music in the least and at the same
time take advantage OF the splendid
opportunities offered by Balfe's work
for spectacular treatment With this
purpose in mind they set about TO
give a new side 20 the splendid old
opera. How well they succeeded is
best attosted to by the fact that in its
present form il rs now in its fourth
successful season. A band OF gypsies'
troupe of acrobats. dogs, pigs, mon
lSies. chickens. geese. etc, have been
blended into the opera so perfectly
that one marvels at it's not having
been done earlier in the life of the
opera. Another addition is the
corps de ballet, which incidental to
the third act executes "The Dance OF
the Hours" from Ia Gioconda.'

cover the taxes due the county.
Mr.. Burris. Mr.. Fouracre and Mr..

Mr. Scott said that he believed there
is something wrong in Wilmington "
He then referred to the many appeals
from Ninth ward property owners.
Mr. Purks replied that this was not
the time 10 talk about the assessment
but about the collection OF taxes.
Mr.. Groves said each delinquent
case ought to be considered by the
court and called attention to the
many claims In the hands OF magis-
trates. He said he felt each commits
sioner ought to have a copy OF the list
OF outstanding taxes.
Mr.. Fouracre said he would give the

torney TO have the collectors and the
county treasurer settle by April "a

compel the collectors to take the
money out OF their own pockets.
Mr.. Purks then offered an amend

to the contrary why they do not
settle"
Mr.. Fouracre said whore property
is in litigation the men cannot col

TRYING TO AVERT
LOCAL FREIGHT HOLD-UP

The board of directors OF the Cham
ber of Commerce has sent out the fOl-
lowing letter TO Wilmington business
men:
Considering the wide publicity
which has been given for some
time past TO the question of
prompt loading and unloading OF
carload freight as well as removal
OF L. g.. l.. shipments from freight
houses. It would seem almost un-
necessary to draw attention to
this subject again.
We believe, however, that the
fun realization of each cOmpany's
personal responsibility as a unit.
which collectively governs the
whole situation, and an added CO.
operative effort upon the part Of
those concerned in such matters
will produce very favorable re-
suits.
While Wilmington fortunately
has escaped any serious conges-
tion. we are constantly reminded
OF trouble in nearby territory,
and as Wilmington's manufac-
turing is large and extensive it
is obvious that We are depen-
dent on conditions elsewhere as
well as locally; therefore. it is
incumbent upon all to help the
general situation.
Some shippers may be pre-
vented from filling your import
ant orders. because of the need
of car equipment which you may
be neglecting to unload Will
you not make special effort TO
have your freight shipments
loaded and unloaded promptly.
Very truly yours,
CLARENCE c. KILI.EN,
Secretary.

State college, sent from Cyprus by
Ian Armenian who swan As miles

|prus, states that his townspeopIe
have retired to the mountains and

first news that Hekimian has re-
ceiyed from home since the outbreak

ment asked all of Hekimian's towns
people to retire to the Arabian des-
erts. This they refused to do, but
fed to the mountains instead and
