"The College Widow" attracted comfortably filled house at the Acade my of Music last night and, If liberal applause counts for anything, pleased the gathering well. Miss Louise Rut ter aa "the college widow'" made good. She worked hard and being appearently naturally well fitted for the part added spice to a lively play. She was well supported by Robert Kelly, as Billy Bolton, the Masculine figure and crack feetball player around whom the story turns Patty Allison aa Flora, the waitress, and Wilson Deal as Elam Hicks, of Squantumvtlle, added humor to every scene In which they figured. The play, as its name Indicates, is distinctly a college play. Therein lies an advantage and a disadvantage. It makes It In Its nature bright, snappy, and surcharged with youthful life and enthusiasm. Because of its setting, however. It has not, perhaps, aa broad a range of people to whom It can ap peal as It might otherwise have. In all probability the most moving part of the. play is the, scene in the train ing room adjacent to the field where on Is being played the Thanksgiving football game. The scenes of alter nate hope and despair up to the mo ment when Bolton seizes the ball on hta own team's two-yard line and dashes the length of the field for the winning touchdown, and the period of delicious Joy which follows ara life, like to a thrilling degree.

KIrby Pope Mr. Spenoe Recommended J "or the Post maetershlu. The action of the Republican State executive committee yesterday in en dorsing the application of Mr. J. B. Spence for the Charlotte postofflce created considerable talk In the city last night. All those who were heard to express themselves seemed highly pleased. The announcement furnish ed a mild surprise for the majority ( tieved that the present Incumbent, Mr. R. W. Smith, would be able to retain the office. The fight In the committee Is said to have been a warm one, Mr. Spence's endorsement being due to the active efforts of Ex Juuge Spencer B. Adams in his be half. It will be recalled, that of all the Republican in the county last summer, Mr. Spence was the only one who championed the cause of Ex Judge Adams in his fight with Con gressman Spencer Blackburn for the chairmanship of the State executive committee. Ex-Judge Adams thus repaid the debt. In turning down Mr. Smith, the State organization completely disre garded the wishes of the county or- atuipauon, ot wnicn ur, j. r. in e well Is chairman. There are some who hold that the endorsement of Mr. Smith by Mr. NeweU's committee really militated against his candidacy when the matter came up before the committee of which Ex-Judge Adams Is chairman. There la no love lost, so u is saia, oeiween me two men. The surprise of the eveninr. how ever was the announcement that Mr. D. KIrby Pope had been turned down and that Col. W. a Pearson, of Mor ganton, had been recommended in hi place for assayer of the Charlotte mint. Col Pearson Is one of the most accomplished men In the State. It Is to be sincerely hoped that he will accept the proffered appointment Believe Schooner nilda Was Lost off Diamond Shoals. Savannah, Ga., March 1. Capt Dlehl, of the steamer Chattahoochee, of the Ocean Steamship Company's fleet Is of the opinion that the schooner Hilda, of this city, was lost off Diamond Shoals, near Hatteras, on the night of February 4th or 5th. Capt. Dlehl says he saw a schooner resembling the Hilda near that point on the 4th and that as a heavy storm was on, any vessel would have had a very hard time to keep clear of the shoals. Preach That the Earth Is Square, Martinsville correspondence Indian apolis News. Members of the First Church of God (or Christ are causing a revolution In religious matters In the Goose Creek neighborhood, south of this city.
