The feature picture film at the Ireamland theatre today is entitled "Mutt and Jeff," and is alone worth seeing to those who are familliar with the popular cartoons of Iiud Fisher. In these pletuifs these two famous characters will be seen in all their glorv, and the laughs to be furnished are innumerable. Besides this picture there will be seen "Her Soldier" and "Pardner". The former is a scries of pictures taken at Fort Morgan. Vt., hv permission of the government and is most interesting. The latter is a thrilling western drama. The big feature program of the week, however, will be seen at this theater tomorrow, when the picture of "The Life of Moses" will he shown. This is said to be one of the very best pictures that is being shown on any circuit today and is highly recom mended by those who have been so fortunate as to see it. Object to Cardinal' Military Escort. ltoJton, Jan. - 10. Formal protest h;is been made by the Evangelical alliance, an organization of Congre gational clergymen, against the con templated escort of Cardinal O'Con nell by the Nonth regiment at the home coming of the cardinal. A committee of three was appoint ed to confer with Governor Foss. The member consider such ubb of a state military body to be a violation of the relation of church and state. Washington, Jan. 10. Friends of the family of Hear Admiral Hobley 1). Evans, U. S. N., who died last week, have been surprised to learn that he left but little property. His widow, while not in want, linds her self in greatly limited circumstances. An idea had prevailed that because of the popularity of Hear Admiral Evans' book, "In a Sailor's Log," and of his writings and lectures, he had accumulated a fortune. Such was not the case. The oil enterprises with which his name was connected yield ed him no profits. He was, it is un derstood, offered a salary of $25,000 a year, but declined to accept any thing until a dividend should bo paid. Mrs. Evans will receive the regular servile pension, tint this is only $30 a month. Members of congress who desire that "Fighting Bob's" widow should be protected from embarrass nietn will endeavor to have this in creased. They believe that the coun try will heartily approve legislation lor this purpose, and it has been sug gested that possibly I'tah, whence Hear Admiral Evans as a youth was appointed to the naval' academy, and California,' where' he enjoyed great popularity, might do something for Mrs. Evans' assistance.

The condition of llerr I liimpenlinck, the noted compo ser, who has been seriously ill, shows a slight Improvement and his physi cians believe he w ill recover. Hiss ill ness is attributed to the strain he un derwent while he was direiting his orchestra in London recently, when he suffered from an attack on bronchitis.

Numerous Minor Accidents in Greensboro Municipal Meat ' Market Question, Etc. Gazette-News Bureau, Daily News Building, Greensboro, Jan. 10, Weather conditions in Greensboro and this immediate Piedmont 'Section showed some Improvement' yesterday over the previous two days, although still far from normal. By the liberal use of salt to melt away caked ice on the rails the cars of the North Caro lina Public Service corporation were enabled to maintain regular schedules with only Infrequent interruptions and delays on some of the lines. The sun shone much of the day but the warmth was not sufficient to make any appreciable headway against the banks of sleet and snow and ice-coated sidewalks and streeta Freezing temperature late in the afternoon con gealed what little snow and sleet had been melted during the day and by nightfall the sidewalks and streets were in a more dangerous condition and made navigation by i man and beast more precarious than at any time since the cold wave struck town. In fact the traversing of many of the streets at any time during the day was fraught with danger and no few persons sustained severe falls as a Te- sult of the slippery condition of the thoroughfares. Among those suffer ing injury was W. T. Underwood, pro prietor of the Patriot. Mr. Under wood lost his footing and sustained a severe wrench to his right knee. While painful the injury is not re garded as serious. Another Greens boro man while leaving the postoffice slipped on the top step and a moment later picked himself up in a pile of sleet and snow at the sidewalk edge. He escaped uninjured save for a bruised leg. A number of horses not roughshod wero thrown during the day. While the cold wave brought suffering to no few families in Greens boro many bright-faced and well cared for boys and girls hailed with delight the advent of winter and dur ing the afternoon and evening sleds were seen on all the steep inclines about the city while scores of young sters made merry coasting the long hills. . The revolving storm doors at the Greensboro postoffice came near be ing the means of serious Injury to a small boy one afternoon a few days ago and to a dog yesterday afternoon. In both instances the boy and the dog had their heads caught between the revolving door and framework. Those who witnessed the accident to the boy thought for an instant that serious in jury had been done. He was quickly released from his perilous position and. it was found that while badly frightened he had escaped injury. An interesting announcement is made here to the effect that J. P. Sanders of Greensboro, manager of the Huffine hotel, and W. C. Petty of Charlotte have -purchased the Huffine hotel annex. The annex was recently completed and was owned by John A. Hodgin of Greensboro. The consid eration was not made known. The hotel company operating the Huffine the Stonewall at Charlotte, and other hotels in this state has a 10 ji-ura' lease on the building and the lease continues under the new ownership. Messrs. Sanders and Petty purchased the building, which has 40 up-to-date rooms, as a financial investment. Those citizens interested In the es tablishment of a municipal meat mar ket in Greensboro have for a second time presented to the board of city commissioners petitioning the author ities to either establish the market or call an election. When first present ed the petition lacked 32 names. That number and more, ft is said, has been secured and the commissioners will now order the market established or call an election before the end of 90 days for a vote on the question. With all of the attractive formali ties incident to events of the kind, the Grand Lodge Masons of North Carolina yesterday laid the corner stone of the Masonic and Eastern Star home at Pomona, a western sub urb of Greensboro. The sun shone brightly on a whitened landscape, hut the sleet and snow were powerless to keep away the undaunted Masons and members of the Order of Eastern Star, and quite a good sized crowd attended the exercises. The box deposited contained reso lutions and minutes of the Masonic Grand lodge and Grand Chapter of the Eastern Star relative to the home, copies of newspaper, Holy Bible, code of the Grand lodge, badges, names of members of Greensboro lodges and Easter Star, grand officers of both orders and a German silver souvenir given by J. W. Petty, giving date of organization of Chorazin chapter, R. A. M., and other documents and pa pers. , . "Pi(t Ordinance" Knocked Out. Greensboro's "pig ordinance," pro viding that hogs shall ..not be klept nearer the city limits than one-quarter of a mile, and which last week caused no little comment here when It was enforced and several alleged violators were hauled into the municipal court and taxed with the cost?, it no rnore. It has been declared unconstitutional by Judge Eure of the Municipal court and no more indictments will be had under Its provisions until the Supreme court has-passed upon the matter. When Judge Eure announced that It was his opinion that the ordinance was unconstitutional and ordered that the indictments against the alleged violators be quashed the city attorney gave notice of appeal and it Is under stood that the matter will go. to the supreme court for a. final decision. ' The congregation of the West Min ster Presbyterian church Was pleased Sunday when Rev. C. E. Hodgin, the pastor, made announcement that he had decided not to accept the call re cently tendered him hy the congrega tion or tne Clinton Presbyterian church but would remain In Greens boro. Following the announcement, made during the court of his sermon. the congregation of the Westminster church gathered around their pastor ana expressed their great pleasure at his decision. ... Interesting real estate sale were made here yesterday when the real estate of former Clerk of the Superior v-ourt i-rnest ciapp was sold at auc tion to pay mortgages aggregating ' 1 . '.L .. t -J $10,800, The Summit avenue home was sold to former Solicitor A. L. Brooks for $8400; the Chestnut street Place was sold to D. A. McDonald of Moore county for $3740, while other property on East Sycamore street brought the total sales to more than $11,000, leaving a small amount after the mortgages had been satisfied.
