The Atlanta Constitution bays: "Wil fred Clarke, our favorite comedian, came back to us last night and made glad the large and appreciative audience that tiocked to see him. 'Tit-for-Tat' was the piece de resistance, and a more laughable, complicited and witty little play we have never witnessed. The dialogue is crisp and the situations unique the acting was perfect. Mr. Clarke as Paul Roach could not have been surpassed by any actor on the American stage; his facial expression spoke volumes, and hisberst of jealousy melting away into absolute cowardice and fear provoked the heartiest applause and laughter throughout the evening He is certainly a master of mock tragedy, as well as the most laughable comedy " Mr. Clarke will be seen in the above comedy at the city hall on Thursday night, and on the following night will produce another laughable comedy en titled "Little Butterfly' Tbe Claims of Colored Charity Presented The Ministerial Union, colored, of wbich Rev.

He made an address at the Victor chapel last night which WW heard by a good sized audience. I xix mn. Om Mr. riak, of Swindling Fans, on the Oo Ajcala Kin Men Bawara. About fire years ago a man named Fink traveled through this country sell ing a recipe lor making two to lour barrels of oil out of one. His recipe was sold for anything he could get for it from $10 np to tl.000. He carried a book full of rec ommendations, many of which were given by the very best men in the sect tons throutrh which he traveled. That Mr Fink was an unmitigated fraud and so was his reciDe. He eot all the money he could and paid as little as he could. When he found no virt;ms in a town V-e made monev in the alternative way by leaving his hotel bill unpaid or getting a draft cashed and letting it turn back on the hotel, as for instance at Texarkana, Ark. He has been wrinen up ana re written as the most unmitigated fraud, and yet every now and then Mr. Fink turns up again and some fellow who can't afford to laae an eigu-uuiiar newopaper gets salted down for (60 to (400 for the luxury of not keeping up with what is going on in the world . When Mr. Fink was in this region about five or more years ago he got a large cotton factory for (400. The owner would have liked to meet Mr. Fink after wards when he knew just what a swindle the recipe was. Mr. Fink comes this time from the direction of Georgia. He has a lot of names of men who he alleges have purchased his recipe. Most of them are comparatively new men in the manage ment of mills and it looks as if Mr Fink was making a right good harvest. His figures are lower than they used to be and it would be hard for him to keep out of the way of his old customers as he goes along. Apparently he works new enterprises only on this trip. Mr. R. A. Blythe, of Philadelphia, is in the city. Mr. Blythe is in the yarn commission business, and report6 busi ness looking up somewhat. The South, he says, is in much better shape than the Bast. The Gold Crown Hosiery Factory is shut down for repairs to machinery. The dye house continues work. THE NEW TBOISEK FACTORY. The Observer Will Press the ISattonThls Morning at O O'clock.

Dr. Robertson and Mr. Taliaferro, a committee from the new factory, called at the cilice last night to notify the city editor that all things were in .readiness, and that Dr Robertson would drive her out this morning to the factory to press tho but tbn that sets in motion another new en terprise for enterprising Charlotte. The honor is one to be appreciated, and now afl ever the new factory has tho Oi; server's good wishes. Church Talk. Opinion is divided in the First Pres bjlerian church. Tho older folks want to remodel the present church, while tbe younger ones want to bnild a new church Occ young man in the c. ngregation sa''i o tho Oiisekvee ye&terday that he would give $500 toward a new church.

All who can should hear them. Commuion services will be held in the First Presbyterian church Sunday week. The congregation at '. ilivet church last night was large, and the preaching in teresting. The services at the Catholic church Sunday were highly interesting. The church was crowded, and the distribution of palms, as conducted by Rev. Father Francis, was bsautifal to the ritualistic eye. The procession of priests and acolytes was very impressive. Evangelist Fife arrived home Mon day morning from Charleston, W. Va., where be had a most successful meeting Rev. Thos. Wetmorc, of Lincolnton, Spent yesterday in the city. Evangelist Fife goes to Mayesville, Ky., on the 28th. The meeting in Charles ton was "glorious", he says.

John Wilkes, who has recently returned from the Cherokee mining sec .- t-, 1 , ..v. vun 1)1 eurgia, is pienaeu wiin me nuiu To Invite the Scotch-Irish Congress. It is highly probable that Charlotte will have the honor of entertaining the Bcotch-Irish congress next year. It cer tainly will, ir a surnciently pressing invi tation is extended, and that Dr. Geo. W. Graham, president of the local society, bag arranged for. He has appointed Rev. J. H.

The band concert is one of the pleas ures of the near future. The rehearsals are being held nightly and a high d.-grte of perfection in the numbers sekcted is being attained. The orchestra recently organized will furnish several numbers, and it is not improbable that the Arion and 8t. Cecelia quartettes might be se cured for a numrer, each. The concert is to be the first paid coccert ever given in the city. Tbe material of which the band is composed is the kind to give a good concert- A Banaway. There was a lively runaway yesterday afternoon on East Seventh street. A boy, horse and wagon, belonging to Mr. Scctt, the butcher, were in it The horse became frightened on Tryon street, and ran, turning into Seventh.

The Burlington, Vt , baseball team, numbering from 14 to 18 persons, will arrive here on the morning of the 4th, and remain until the next day.

He took it out, and soon the sight was restored perfectly. Good for "Doctor Anderson A MANUFACTURING PRIDE. AH OLD BKLIABUJi EHTKBPKISK The Chvlotte Clotlilr Manufactory In creasing Its Basin Fnetlitiea Hew Machine Bala ft- Added A Viae Corps of salesmen Increased Business. A few doors south of the Observer building is the large establishment of the Charlotte Clothing Manufacturing Com- nanv. owned and operated by Messrs. J. C. Burroughs and W. H. Dula. This old and reliable factory has long been re garded as one of the manufacturing prides of the city. It was established about 15 years ago, and was then as it is to-day one of the largest if not the largest pants factory in the South. Its sales em brace a territory from New York to Mis sissippi, and many large orders are ship ped East. Probably no factory iu the South of any kind has so efficient a corps of salesmen. They were each selected with special reference to their peculiar ntness bv experience and qualifications for the business. There is Mr. A. L. Sears, who has Florida and Georgia to work; Mr. Ii. P. Bvers, who gives his attention to Alabama and Tennessee; Mr. J. W. Pharr, to western North Carolina; Mr. J. B Dawson to the eastern part of the State, while Mr. E. V. Finlayson represents the factory in New York, having an office at the Broadway Central Hotel. This New Y'ork office is the general distributing point for the South and West. The past year was a highly successful one for the present management. The facilities of fhe factory have been en larged, and every month shows an in crease in sales which is mont en couraging to the owners to go forward to Btill greater business effort. The working force is the largest ever employed by the factory. The large third floor is filled with machines, and from early until late there dozens cf women and men cut and make pan until it seems that the supply wouM clothe the nation. But that large stock is depleted as fast as it accumulates. Charlotte pants go north, east, south, west. The salesmen of the Charlotte Clothing Manufactory find ready sale for the article they handle. To meet the constantly increasing demand Messrs. Burroughs it Dula have recently pur chased additional new machines, which will increase the output considerably. These gentlemen are both Dusiness men of wide business experience. Mr. Bur roughs is one of the oldest and wealth iest business men of the place, while I Mr. Dula, his young partner and son-in-i law, is a young man of fine business qualifications and many years experience in tnis special line oi manuiaciuriag. They have recently returned from New York, where they bought a very large 6tock of goods, which they will open up to the fall trade at prices to suit the hard times. The purchase was large, but they expect correspondingly large sales. They are now busy on their fall goods, and will soon have them;reidy for the trade. The spring business was large, but the prospects are that the fall business wiil be much larger. Mr. thrlstain Again in Charlotte. Mr. W. E. Christian, is ever welcomed I in Charlotte. He is here for a few days' I stay with his children, at Mrs. Stonewall ; Jacksr-u'd. Mr. Christian's newspaper conLCot ions are the same as when here : last.

NOT "BI STKD" BUT ' BOO M I SO. A Caiuinunlcatlon from Dr. Sanders, of ISiiliile University. , To !hr Editor of the Observer: ' An article under the caption ' Biudie University Busted," appeared in the News of yesterday afternoon. Owing to its ' exaggerated and misleading character it j seems necessary that I make the follow- ; log statement: There was a difficulty ' ; between Superintendent Carsrm and I Student Havkins. That matter, how- ; ! ever, was taken into court and will te , there adjusted. Touching the question ! as to whether the president and me fc ; j ulty endorsed the superintendent thre : i arose misunderstanding between a ! ! number of the students and th- i i faculty. This, however, has bttn j ja"1 justed, honorably and satisfactorily,' 1 to a 1 concerned and the students are nt j work and everything is moving alog j j harmoniously. So far as 1 know only , two students have gone awiy within tee ; past week, probably n?t to return this year. They went out to work. The ; work has gene cn without a break &vd the few students who were out for one i working day, with perhaps a half dczen j exceptions, are all in the'r places ana tt work. Our young men are a noble set j of fellows and are loyal to Biddle aLd its faculty, and will repudiate the spirit I and tenor ot the News' article. This bt- lated and exaggerated statement of the r .News is based upon a few facts known j to the Obskuvku days ago, but kindly j withheld from the public lest some un- , friendly person might magnify matters to the iDjnry of Biddle. i Biddle University is not "busted," but j "booming." Very respectfudy, ! D J- ANIlHKS- j Appears to Ue About Right. J Progressive Farmer- j The citizens of Huntersville are com ' plaining because Mecklenburg county is i spending money to macadamizs the ; various public highways leading into j Charlotte. They say it is unfair to spend j all the money at the county seat. It I seems so, but we have always advocated j the plan begin at the county eeat and ! progress outward in every direction. It 1 is unfair, but we see no chance to reme dy the matter. The roads near Char lotte are traveled more and by nearly all the people of the county. It would make matters no better to start the work ia one end of the county, for the other end and the centre would object. Until someone suggests a better plan, we say let the good work go on. The Cripple Creek, Col., miners agree ing to arbitrate, the troops have been or dered away. Gov. Waite has little hope of a decis ion favorable to himself from the State Supreme Court.

There were 165 cc vered wagon in this place to-day loaded with leaf tobacco. This quantity, together with a large amount of leaf recei ved by the railroevas, makes it reasonable to say that this was the largest sale ever seen here. One hundred and sixty-five wagons with an average of two persona to each wagon, together with a large number of leaf buy era, made things very lively aroaad the warehouses all day. In co ivevsation with the farmers not a single one could be found who wi.s dissatisfied vrith the sale, but every one conceded that fair prices were paid. Mr. James H.
