In accordance with the agreement reached by the two conference com mitteesthat of the board of aldermen and the Committee of 100 there will be a public meeting of the board of aldermen to-night at the court house. The call for this meeting is issued by Mayor Franklin as follows: "Pursuant to the action of the boaid of aldermen, a public meeting of the board will be held at the coun ty court house, Monday evening, February 8th, at 8 o'clock. This meet ing is open to all' citizens, and an op portunity will be given to any who may wish to address the board on the proposed new charter. "T. S. FRANKLIN, "Mayor." The leason the court house is chosen tor the meeting is purely because the acoustic properties of the council chamber are execrable. The meeting will be open to the pub he. Any citizen wishing to be heard will be given a hearing. It is likely that there will be many who have sug gestions or requests to make. Proba bly the most notable address will be that of Mr. Cameron Morrison, who will speak principally against the plan for electing the mayor by the board of aldermen. This is the provision which is meeting with most opposition in the city.

While there is some merely factious opposition to the charter abroad in the city, it is believed upon the whole that the citizens wish to secure a solid governmental basis for the municipality, which will avoid the possibility of future bond issues for current expenses, and also provide for improvements. The aldermen have as sured the committee of ten that they were acting in entire good faith in re questing the drawing up of the form of a charter and not a few of the citi zens are bespeaking a spirit of mutual confidence, if the city is to take- care of its future fCR RENT--T!ire large connecting; !. us"'M'-inc.

The game was a fast one from start to finish and after the first few min utes of play the result was never m doubt, the first half closing with a core of 25 to 0. The feature of the game was the goal throwing of Averett, the center of the Charlotte team, who scored 22 points. The game throughout was clean and every man conducted himself like a true sportsman. Physical direc tors, Stock of Winston-Salem, and Fos ter, of Charlotte, were the officials. - Davidson College is to try conclu sions with the Charlotte team ,in the gymnasium of the local association on Friday night of this week and there is no doubt about it being a very exciting contest, as the college team has been busy all season playing some of the best teams in the South. A record crowd is expected, as Davidson is al ways a good drawing card in Charlotte. The game will be called promptly at 8:30 and the admision will be 25 cents. Alumni Resident in Char- j lotte Urge upon The Legislature to Appro priate Sufficient Funds for Equipment. The Charlotte alumni of the A. and M. College decided Saturday to peti tion the legislature to appropriate suffi cient funds to ensure adequate dormi tory accommodations and equipment for the electrical and mechanical de partments, or to issue bonds if the treasury will not permit of a direct appropriation. The petition follows: To the Chairman.. House and Senate Committee on Appropriations. Raleigh, N. C. Dear Sir: At a meeting of the Char lotte alumni association of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts held Saturday, February 6, 1909, the following resolutions were adopted and ordered forwarded to your honorable committee: "Whereas the usefulness to the state at large of the N. C. College of Ag riculture and Mechanic Arts and its continued growth is seriously hamper ed on account of the present inade quate dormitory facilities by reason of which a large number of prospective students are of necessity each year turned away. "Whereas the present equipment of the mechanical and electrical depart ments of the college are inadequate both in regard to the proper apparatus for the teaching and demonstration in a practical way of those subjects, and in the lack of suitable buildings to house such necessary equipment. "Whereas the state is making most wonderful progress in industrial de velopments, particularly along electri cal and general engineering lines, and the demand for technically trained men to and in this development is yearly growing greater, this demand exceeding the supply which the col lege is able to furnish. "Therefore be it resolved by the Charlotte Alumni Association of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts that the appropria tions committees of the Souse and Sen ate of the North Carolina legislature are hereby petitioned to make the necessary appropriations to give the college the proper dormitory facilities, a properly equipped engineering build ing, and sufficient .funds for the efficient-operation of the college. "And that it . be further resolved, That if the present income of the state be insufficient to warrant these appro priations together with those needed for the other state institutions, this association recommends that the state issue bonds to an extent sufficient to provide such funds, this recommenda tion being made in the belief that such an issue is a good business proposition for the state, one that would be fully justified by reason of the continued and increased industrial development of the state. "(Signed) "DAVID CLARK, "B. J. BROWN, "RONALD B. WILSON, 'Committee.'' MR. BARRINGER'S GARAGE. Will Rev. Hight C. Moore, Editor of the Biblical Recorder, Delivers a Splen did Address on "Christ on the Cross" Other Helpful Addresses. The program for the oDenmir of the North Charlotte Baptist church on yes terday, and which was given in Satur day's News, was carried out to the let ter and was in every particular a most decided success. The day itself was most auspicious and large crowds attended every ser- Nov vice. The purpose was to make it mainly a "Rally Day" for the Sundav school work, which is a most import- ant lactor, and-in this respect it was mi uia.L couiu oe uesirea. The sermon in the morning by Rev. Hight C. Moore, editor of the Biblical Recorder, of Raleigh, was based upon Luke 23:33 and the theme was "Christ on the Cross." Its scope was the cruci fixion with the great cardinal facts which contend in the life of Christ. He amphasized the significance of the in scription written pon the cross in He brew, Greek and Latin, and the relation in which Christ stood to the peoples and tongues in which this inscription was written by Peter, and also the sig nificant fact of Cirist as being cruci- ned between two thieves as a fulfill ment of prophecy, and how that the propnet had so minutely foretold the crucifixion, even as to custom of break ing the bones of the crucified, which he said of Christ not a bone should be broken. The sermon was well received and made a fine impression upon the large audience. The afternoon service was perhaps the most largely attended of all, and because of the hour and the presence of so many of Lie pastors of the city, gave to it more general interest. The speeches were all most practical and caused a wide field as to the work of the Sunday school. On any one of the topics the speakers could well have spent an nour, ana an ot tnem were tempted to speak over time. Dr. E. E. Bomar spoke on "The Sun day School as a Field for Christian i Workers." Rev. H. C. Moore on "The ! Sunday School as an Evangelizing Ag ency. Rev. W. P. Campbell, of Louise church, on the subject "Who Should be in the Sunday School." He was most practical and made some most striking suggestions with reference to the attitude of parents and young men and women in the boarding houses. Rev W. O. Goode, pastor of the North Char lotte M. E. church, made some most excellent points on the Sunday school as to its influence in the home of the commuunity. Mr. C. E. Mason talked on Sunday school equipment, and being a practi cal business man made some most strik ing suggestions on the helps and aids rendered to promote Sunday school work. The talk of Rev. L. R. Pruett on the Sunday school as a developer of the service of giving, was curtailed by lack of time, as he was to take up a collection which he did most effectively and arised nearly $200 in pledges for the equipment of the church for heat ing, lighting, etc. The collections from al services for the day amounted to about $250. Dr. Hulten preached a most admira ble sermon to a large audience at night on "The Place and Power of Prayer in Christian Work." Altogether the day was most enioj'- able and the people greatly pleased with the tasty arrangement of the new house of worship and its fine acous tic effects. When completed, with the pews, the cost will be about $5,700, and Charlotte and the city. New York Cottor. Jan . Mar . Apr . May June July . Aug . Sent Oct . Dec Spots 10.00.

Eight thousand anc four feet of ice high as the Yoho glacier of Canada. Since the first discovery of this largest of Canada's glaciers it has maintained a grand archway of ice at its lower extremity. The span of this arch is no less than 250 feet, and Its height is estimated at 70 feet, while from be neath the arch the drainage escapes. The formation of the arch seems to be an annual phenomenon. Toward th close of the summer it becomes weak ened by melting and the whole struc ture collapses. The ice gradually is broken up and finall' removed and the formation of a new archway is commenced . From the archway issues the Yoho river. It is calculated that an ava lanche must have occurred in 1850 or 1860. Since then the retreat of the glacier has been at (he average rate of five or six feet a year. From Au gust. 1901, to August. 1904, it was found that the retreat has been 11 feet, or 37 feet a year. Between August, 1904, and August. 1905n the glacier re ceded but nine feet, and is now thought to be checked. About the nose of the glacier there is evidence of a bodily disruption et the rock strata, to which the term "pluck ing" is applied. Rock layers are rip ped off where the layers are thin bed ded and pointed, and the faggments are pressed into the ice to assist in further work. The Yoho glacier is an almost if not entirely isolated example of a glacier as a great engine of erosion. Other glaciers move forward and are engines of transportation. A. & M. BOYS MEET.
