A Youngstown, Ohio, special says the recent death in Canada of Mrs. Sterling, mother of Charles M. Sterling, who was exerutvd there for the murder of Lizzie Urombacher, has un veiled the facts concerning an incident that occurred shortly bef ore his execution. His moth er went there from Maxwell, Canada, and, though he bad left home when but a lad,"' with a maternal intuition she recogni zed him. When brought to his cell, Sterling, without the quiver of a muscle, said: "You are mistaken, madam, I am not your wn." She implored him to recognize her, but ho refused, and she re turned home half-convinced that she was mistaken. To his counsel Sterling said: Stic is my mother, but I could not break her heart by telling her that her son would be hung. Keep it secret until she dies." Her death the jast week caused his attorney, v. S. Anderson, to break the seal of silence Mon day. "lt was the most dramatic scene I ever witnessed," said Mr. Anderson. "Ihavesecn all the tragedians of the past quar ter of a century, but none that compared to the scene on that M-casii n t he mot her, every 1 ine iu her faee showing the mrt intense suffering, and her heart nearly broken, while the son, knowing that the truth would kill her, stood like a statue, his face showing the pallor of death, assuring her that sh was mis taken. Such intensity of action was never produced on any stage It could not lie." Xo 1 hankslo II irrlson, B Mca hut. In his Thanksgiving procla mation President Harrison asks the people of this country to re member the poor. Would it not have been better if he had thought of them when, by the sanction of his signature, he gave the force of law to a meas ure which has tut tip the price of everything that the poor man consumes, and thus added anew burden to his poverty Recent events, however,, will give the poor man a bright ray of hope, and for this ho will be devoutly thankful.

EX-GOV. JARVIS'S pPEECII On the Occasion of the Laying of the Corner Stone of Trinity 1 .ColIeff at Durham. , BliKhXbronlcl. Qov. Jarvis said: Ladies and Gentlesien: We are engaged "to-day in laying the corner stone upon which is to be erected great and costly buildings of brick and granite. The materials out of which these buildings are to be constructed are durable and lasting, and it may reasonably be expected that many generations yet un born will occupy them and re vere the names of the men who designed and erected them. Yet there will come a time when they must decay and puss away They are of earth earthly and cannot exist perpetually. asn ion and shape them and secure them as we may,, the hand of time will surely tear them down and obliterate tne very tounaa tions upon which they stand But the good works which shall l - 1 Y ll ill 15 1 ue uone in mem win uveim aim on till time shall be no more, and eternity shall reward' those who nave acted weu their part in this grand effort for the up lifting of the young men who have been made better by rea son of the existence and noble work of Trinity College. Cra ven and Crowell and Carr and Duke and hosts of others who have generously contributed, in one way and another, to this noble cause have put in motion forces whose influences shall live and grow and multiply and bear rich fruit long rtter these buildings have crumbled to dust and others have arisen upon their ruins. I would not undervalue the work of the architect who de signs, nor that of the laborer who constructs the splendid buildings which will, in due time, adorn these hills and in which a great work -is to be done. From forest and field and quarry crude, 'unsightly material will be gath ,V'd which skill and labor will convert into magnificent buildings, faultless in appearance and perfect in ap pointments. Thousands of our countrymen passing to and fro will admire them, and multi tudes will annually gather about them, but after all, prize them as we may, they are inanimate, lifeless things without power, in themselves, to do good or harm. Such of necessity is the work of the architect and the artizan. They build, lifeless bouses. Not so with the men who are to occupy . these buildings as professors and instructors. It will be theirs to deal with mind to make character, From country and city, from villiaire and hamlet, from the palace and the cottage will come youth in its various types to be instruct ed and led into the paths of use ful manhood. The indolent must be stimulated, the igno rant taught, the aimless inspir ed, t he thoughtless directed, the reckless restrained and the ambitious guided. How diffi cult the task! How precious the results! See these untutor ed youths grow under the tute lage of their Christian instruc tors into the trained thinker, the ripe scholar, the useful citi zen, the Christian gentlemen. And then see these go out into the world to do the same good work for others whose influence will be felt by those who may live in the far off future. Who can fix a standard by which the lives of such men are to be val ued? We give deserved praise to the great Architects, Sculp tors and Painters aud we often record their names among the renowned men of their age. They simply give form and beauty to material things. How much more then should we honor and revere those who de vote their time and talents to giving form and beauty to the lives of their fellow men by which humanity is elevated, society purified and the world made better. Noblo army of teachers! They are the salt of the earth. The servico they ren der the State and society is be yond human conception. Their good deeds form a golden chain which is endless in this life and which will link them on to the reward of the life to come, To mo it is a source of infinite pleasure to know that they are loved and honored by our jhi- pioas never Lciore. .May the time come when they shall le our most beloved and honored citizens. Amoncr the irrent educators of the host, Braxton Craven stood in the front rank. It was under his guiding hand that Trinity College rose from the humblo JiUlg log cabbin school to a high rank among our education al institutions. He gave to it all that a great brain and a warm heart could bestow, and when he laid down his life work a Crowell was found to take it up. Did time permit it would give me pleasure to speak of the noble" professors and instructors who stood by the brave Craven in his heroic efforts to make Trinity a College worthy of his ,i :: : i r u: ti uuuuimnuuuu auu ji ui uiare Some of them worked upon meager, half-paid salaries rath erthan desert this struggling institution when they might have been better paid by going elsewhere. The College had its dark days before and after the death of Craven cast a gloom over its prospects, but in all these days of trial, generous friends, with patriotic hearts and noble purposes, came to its rescue, and, at no little costs to themselves, lifted it out of the grave embarrassment which im paired its usefulness. The story of these days and the names aud the deeds of these good men will always interest the friends of Trinity and will always form an important part of its history. Uut 1 must forbear to repeat this story to-day lest for want of full information I might omit the name of Borne one which be longs in the list of those, who should be gratefully remember ed. The Trinity of old Randolph has done a noble work notwith standing its youth and its em barrassments. Scores and hun dreds of trained young men of well-formed Christian charac ters have gone out from its halls to elevate humanity, to bless society and to fill impor tant positions in church and State. But a feeling has grown up among its friends that its sphere of usefulness might be greatly enlarged by its removal to a more accessible locality. In obedience to this feeling, which grew and increased as the matter was discussed, the neces sary orders havo been given for its removal and we are here to day, with loyal hearts and lov ing hands, to transplant our cherished institution into this progressive community and to dedicate anew our sacred honor to its support and maintenance. And need I notappeal to our Dur ham friends to be faithful to the institution in its maturer years wnicn our nanaoipn inenas nourished 60 tenderly and de votedly in its infancy. I am sure not. They have already given the most substantial as surances of what we may expect of them. Nor need I appeal to those who oppose this removal to join us in expanding and ex tending the influence which their own beloved Craven put in motion up in the hills of old Randolph, whatever may have been their feeling and opinions before the removal was decided upon, I know their love and de votion to the College will follow it and uphold it in its new home as loyally as in its old; and I think I risk nothing in saying that its accomplished President and his able faculty will have the cordial, united support of the Methodists of North Caro lina anywhere. But, my friends, we all know that suitable buildings and ap paratus and money to pay teachers are necessary parts of a successful educational work, and that the men who supply these requisites are worthy coad jutors of the presidents, profes sors and teachers of our schools. Hence, in the very beginning of this address, I linked the Dukes and the Carrs and the Cravens and the Crowells in the good and far-reaching influen ces of Trinity College, And was I not right? How can schools be kept without suitable houses in which to keep them? How can teachers be employed unless they be paid? The rich have their resHnsibilities for the manners and the destinies of the poor. If men of fortune with-hold their means from all enterprises for the education and elevation of the poor, they are assenting to the perpetua tion of the cruel slavery of ig norance. If they contribute of their means to these noble causes they are assisting in breaking these galling shackles, in carry ing li jht into the dark places, Sn lighting Hp their fellow men and liestowuig blessings upon their country. To build the school house is only second to building the church. To pay the teacher is only second to paying the preacher. In fact the school house and the church. the teacher and the preacher flourish best together. The one moves slowly without the other. Our Baptist frivnds yK under stand this and, with commend able zeal and wisdom, they have secured tor wake forest an en dowment which has greatly in creased and extended its field of usefulness. In consequence of tnese generous gilts to the sacred cause of education Wake For est is enabled to send out an in creased number of trained young men to art up humanity and to become a blessing to the world. What Christian or patriot does not rejoice over the great work done for the cause of educafian and religion by that progressive Christian denomination in our State in the last few years. What they have done for Wake Forest we may do for Trinity if we will only be a united, as ac tive and as zealous as they have been. And I come to-day to appeal to our Methodist friends throughout the State to forget the divisions and bickerings of the past, if any ever existed, and to gather around tiieik col lege with a purpose to make it a great institution. We ought to have m North Carolina oxe great college. Let lis make it here. It may have and should have its branches and feeders scattered about over the State, but these should be helps and not hindrances in putting Trin ity in the forefront of our edu cational institutions. Let us urge upon onr people in every county, city and town the duty and the privilege of giving something to the endowment of the college whtch we trust and believe is now beginning to take on new life. The rich should give bountifully and the less fa vored according to their means, but all should give something, No man should hesitate because his gift is small. Great rivers are made up of multitude of lit tle streams. So a great endow ment may be made up of a mul titude of little donations. I ask for no impossible thing. I sug gest no very difficult task. It is within the power of the Meth odists of North Carolina to rich ly endow their college. It on ly requires a united, determin ed. CONTINUED EFFOKT. And I tell them their college can never rise to the full height of a great institution until it is endowed. The sooner we recognize this and set systematically about the work, the sooner our denomina tion will have a college to which we can point with commenda ble pride and which snan stimu late to greater activity, the en tire educational work of the State. I have addressed this appeal especially to the Metho dists because it is their college. If it shall be forced to eke out a starved existence it is tiieik shame. If it shall continue to grow, as I hope it may, till it shall staud forth, here in the cen tre of the State, as a great edu cational light, it will be their glory. And yet I would not be understood as not asking for help from others. We will be glad to have the sympathies, the good wishes, the kind words and the donations of all friends of education without regard to sect or creed. The good the College may do will be felt by all and we hoie it may nave the good will of all. And why should it not? It stands for North Carolina. While we will be glad to welcome students from other States, yet we build it and endow it chietlv for North Carolina boys, and those who aid it in the endowment are aid ing in the education of their own citizens. And who can compute the good he is doing in the world when he gives to the endow ment of colleges in which learn ing and religion are taught and men are better fitted for the du tirs of life. Through the instru mentality of this endowment many a ioor boy is lifted out of the sloughs of ignorance and superstition into the light and life of an educated, refined cit izen, who, in turn devotes his life to elevating his fellow men: and thus tbe good influence s-t in motion by the gift of a few dollars goes on ever widening and increasing till they pass be yond the power of human com putation. Then let us give and continue to give until we build here and endow a college whose facilities and resources shall be equal to every deutaud which may Ih made upon it, and the men who contribute to this no ble cause will assist in putting in motion forces which shall work for Uol and humanity long alter tins corner-stone which we plant to-day shall have crumbled into dust and been scattered to the four winds of heaven. We are bringing Trinity much nearer to our State University, geographically speaking, and" I urge that we bring it nearer to hat honored institution in sym pathy and in earnest co-opera tion in the advancement of the feneral educational work of the tate. There is an abundance of room for both of these' insti. tutions, and I beg that there : shall be no bickerings between them. There is a great work for each to do and yirm each. has rendered the best possible1 serw vice to the State there will re main much still to be - done. . I repeat, there must not : be any . friction between them and. I ap peal to the friends of these two institutions and to those" of all other institutions of learning in the State to see to it -that no jealousies shall rise up among; -any of them. -1 urge this , bar -cause of my earnest desire to see -the University, the colleges', the high Schools and the common schools work together in' per feet harmonv and accord for the conquest of ignorance, the . education of the people and the glory of the State. In erecting these buildings we begin at the foundation and work upwards. If we wish to tear them down we would begin at the top and go downward. So in building up a permanent, healthy, stable, progressive edu cational system, we must begin in the common schools and make them sufficient for their works and then with this firm foundation it is easy to build up high schools, colleges and uni versities. Hence I argue that the presidents and professors of. our universities and our colleges and academies should be the' earnest advocates and steadfast friends of our common schools. On the other hand I wish to say to the friends of the common schools who are disposed to Ig noree the univrsity and the col lege's, that they cannot find a more ready way of injuring the common schools than by tearing down the heads of our educa tional system. I thereforo in sist that the friends of our com mon schools should be active in their support of the university and the colleges oi tne estate. The best results will be obtained when all work together. I have thought these gereral reflections upon our educational work in the State not inappropriate to this occasion, and I trust they may have the thoughtful atten tion of those who hear them. We are now closing a year of unusual abundance. - In less than sixty days we will have entered upon a new year with its duties, its responsibilities and its possibilities. It will be the beginning of the last decade of a century of great activities and magnificent achievements. I hone to see the people of North Carolina signalize that year by a general advancement along all the lines of education work, and I trust our General Assem ble will lead that advance by in creasing the funds dedicated to our common schools. ' We must do tnore for the sacred cause of ' education than we are doing. North Carolina does not stand ahead of her neighbors in this noble work according to the census reports which will soon be published to the world. Let's put her there before the close of the next decade, we can do it if we will. . a .I i i. The Alliance. TJorta Ouvllaa UWUfaaaar.
