There will be a meeting for men
only at Edenton Street M. E. Church

ducted by Evangelist Fife.
A game of foot ball played to-day
between the "Colonias," Stanly Faisou,

the "Colonias." - ' ?

Judge J. C. McRae wilt hold the
January term of Wake Superior Court,
beginning on the Gtb. The criminal
docket is tilling up very fast. It is
noticeable that there are more indict
ments for renioviug crops than ever be
fore. i The Charlotte Chron icie notes: "An
emigrant train, containing fifty families
of negroes,- numbering in all 250 peo
pie, passed through the city yesterday
for Louisiana and Mississippi. The
emigrants were from the eastern part of
Ihe State, and were in charge of 'Teg
leg" Williams.
A telegram to the Wilmington
Messenger from Col. John L. Cantwell
states that at the Davis memorial meet
ing in New Orleans Wednesday night,
Gov. Fowle made the speech of the
night He was called out twice. Col.
Cantwell also mentions that the funeral
obsequies on Wednesday lasted from 12
m. till 5 p. m, ,
The sixth installment of 10 per
cent, is due on stock in the Raleigh
Cotton Mills It is thought by some
of our best business men that this will
be a paving investment, and already
there is strong talk of making the
building twice the present size. The
larger the mill the larger the dividends.
This is the main reason for increasing
the aire, We expect before many years
to see this one of tbe largest mill in
the South. The property owners of
Raleigh should make it so at once.
-The Call appreciates the receipt
of a copy of the address delivered by
Dr. It. II. Lewis, of this city, before the
Alumni -Association of the University of
Maryland. The subject j is "Higher
Medical Education and how to Secure
It." -
. Last night the Ely Stock Company
drew a very good house to see the pre
sentation of "The Two Orphans.'' This
company has caught the popular sup
port, and the applause given it is a
sure indication that its audiences here
appreciate the company. One of its
striking features is its elaborate stage
paraphernalia, including
costumes,
at a matinee this afternoon, and will
give a new play to-night.

Talking on the Street.
"You know," observed a gentleman
VhiA. morning, "that our board of Alder
man have done a great many good
things during this year, bat I just want
to s iv that I think the presenting of
thf. nuiforms to the police forceAvas one
of th'mo't i graceful and appropriate
thiols they have yet done; Thellaleigh
police are a set of the best, most polite,
considerata and tfliciant officers you can
tind a earth, and one would think that
they esteem it .a favor to be allowed to
accoinmooate you they comply so wil
lingly aud promptly, But talking
about Hccomniodating" folks, Tobe
Marshal c tlie janitor lays over anybody
I i'v n," a vy. Yon ask him to Jinp yon
to aid you la anything, or to do any
thing around or about the opera hall.
He'll glare at yon and talk back and
raise half a row, but he will have accom
plished what you want done before you
get half through the argument with
him, unless you talk mighty fast. He'll
wear a broad smile the whole blessed
time, alternately" caressing you and
''cussing" you out, and will always com
ply with any request iu a way that will
make yon happy. He's a jolly curiosi
ty Tobe is." v
"Some folks think it is too soon to com
mence with the proposed State Exposi
tion for 1891; but I tell you if that
allair is to be gotten up the sooner work
is begun on it the better." This was
the remark of a stirring business man
to-day.
"Do you suppose," asked a gentle
man this morniug, "that there is any
probability of the board of aldermen
reconsidering their action with refer
ence to the market house at their last
meeting?"
A Winter Aviary. ,
llaleigh is to have a permanent aviary.
Mr. A. Dughi, who has nearly one hun
dred and fifty varieties of birds, will,
next week; place them in winter quar
ters in the Holleman building. The
aviary will be open to visitors all the
winter through on certain, conditions.
A box will be placed at the door in
wfiich every visitor will be expected to
drop ten cents. There will be no door
keeper. The funds arising from this
project will go to the support of St.
John's Hospital.
The aviary will be arranged in eltgant
stvle and will &how the birds.to the best
advantage. -

This is the case wittr that new Union

The railroad compniia are in earnest
and their work shovs it. The North
Carolina railroad has .officially expressed
a desire that a - 75,000, instead of a
$50,000 structure be put up, and- has
said that if the Raleigh k Gaston road
will put np its share for the purpose,
that Raleigh shall hire the $75,000
building. This proposition i3 made in
a business-like spirit.. Now, what will

Mr, Fife and His Work.
Editob Daily Call: I have had the
t
pleasure of hearing Mr.Fife five "'times
in the Presbyterian church and three
times in the Baptist TaTlernacle. What
do you think of him ? f
I love him for his manliness, for his
moral courage, lor his iatense devotion
to God, for his love forouls, as shown
by his incessant labors for their salva
tion. ,
' He is unique, because he is single
eyed and unselfish; hi is "ijarless, be
canse he knows he is Christ's ambassa
dor, and talks and acts as - for eternity.
He says he wishes t b9 T-?rr iir.nble,
udeaia,ljnU kiird-oavted,-'' and -he
certainly is; and if he "grates harsh
thunder," it is only because he hates all
wickedness as God does, and all tenden
cies in that direction; but at the same
time, he is as gentle as a woman, and
all his hearers see what he says is said
in love.
There is not a trace of malice in the
man. His heart is5' as big as "all out of
doors " He is as. brave as John Knox
and as humble and as tender as Sum
merfield. He is certainly doiug great
good in Raleigh, noft only by the con
versions and changes in life he has
effected, but by his example of candor
and plain speaking in regard to sin in
all its forms. He is one of the mouthr
pieces of God "in the mUst of a wicked
and adulterous generation." Wrhen he
leaves Raleigh he will carry with bim,
the good will and the blessings of thou
sands of Christians.

New Advertisements.
We have had unusual success with
our holiday goods. We have'reasons to
believe that our prices are far1 below
other similar goods, as many ladies
have told ns so. The large sales of the
goods is tbe best evidence that the
prices are right' Our handkerchief
stock is very large and sales are all that
we could ask. Some jobs are offered at
about one-half usual prices. To-night
we will have on sale some genuine bar
gains in shoes. All $1 00 purchases get
tickets at Norris & Carter's.

address of welcome to CoL L. L. Polk,
concluding with a toast to "Our Honor
ed Guest"
He first called on Col. L L. Polk,
the guest of the evening, to respond to
the toast "Tbe New Revolution.v
Col. Polk said;' ;
Mb. Cbaikman : History is ever re
peating itself. The march of human
progress is htrewn with the wrecks of
empires, kingdoms, systems, thrones
,and governments. Many of them went
down in violence; and blood. But the
declaration in tha sentiment to which I
i am called torespotnd-"The New Revolu
tion is but the echo of tbe mighty feat
which has been put forth by 3.0U0.000
liberty-loving, law-abiding American
freemen. Tbe approach of this New
Revolution has not been heralded by
tbe flare of flambeau, the beat of drum
or tbe thunder of cannon. The. thou
sands and hundreds of thousands of
patriots who are enlisting in iu ranks
are marshaling under no ensign of strife,
of hate, of blood, or of carnage. But
they align themselves ucder a banner on
whose snow-white folds are imprinted
in characters of heavenly hue the God .
given motto :. "Peace on earth, good
will to men;" and the battle ery of thu
mighty host from one end of the land '
to tbe other, is: "Equal rights 6 all
and special privileges to none.

It is not overproduction, but under
consumption. There can be no over
production in that country where there
is the cry of a ftingle child, for bread.
Had the 05,000.000 of our people con
sumed each day during lat yt-ar more
than iiiey um consume, one ounce of
meat; it would have taken 1,470,000.000
pound-, &J$,000,000 pounds more than
was exported.
If they hat consumed four ounces of
flour each day, it would base required
148.280,000 bushels of wheal, 28.280,000
bushels more than was txportd. If
they had expended 3 cents each day for
products in excels of what they did ex
pend, they .wonld have Ixfught 8711,
750,000 or nearly S29.000.0o0 more than
was exported.
Could not our population Uave con

A- .t . -

and meat than was exended, without
invading the province of, luxurious ex

the measure of our overproduction?
Stand at your street corners, visit tbe

want and poverty, and they can giva
