Did Not Known His Own.
A certain gentlemen dined at the
Benbow yesterday and took much ice
cream, lie came out and put on an
overcoat and went down to the Mc
Adoo to see some friends.
While
did not
a break
find the
there he discovered that he
have his own coat and made
for the Cape Fear depot to
man who was trying to get off with it.
Meanwhile another diner at 'the Ben
bow missed his coat and the clerk
found one with the ice cream eaters
name on it and a servant was dis
patched to find him. He found him
but he insisted that Manager Perkins
at the McAdoo had let somebody carry
off his coat. After much patient work
he was convinced that he had not left
his coat at the McAdoo and induced to
accept his own. But he has never
been convinced as to where he dined.
EHBEZZLER TWENTY YEARS.
Cashier Foster Found to Have Rob.
bed the Bank of $20,000.
Augusta, Me., Nov. 24 The books
of Cashier of the Lubec Savings Bank
are in the hands of State Bank Exam
iner Timberlake. They show defalca
tions that may have been begun as far
back as 1876.
Foster kept two sets of books. In one
set which was never shown to' the ex-
ammers,
was
entered about $14,000
that did not appear on the books of
the bank. The total amount stolen by
Foster is probably not far from $20,000
and this money he used to support his
family.
Foster is more than 70 years of age,
and broken in health and probably
cannot live long.
An Offer .
A Greensboro ; gentleman, who is
dissatisfied with, the result of yester
day's game in Charlotte, makes the
following offer: He will put up $150,
Charlotte to do the same and the game
to be played on ; any grounds other
than Chartlotte's, the winning team to
take the $300 and all the gate receipts,
the contesting teams to be the same as
on yesterday.
The Secretary of State decides, as
acting insurance commissioner r tnat a
Washington, D. C, firm cannot write
an insurance policy on the life of a
man in iNortn uaronna; cnat is is un
lawful to solicit such "overhead" in
surance. Yet if agents living outside
of the State thus violate the law there
appears to be no way of getting at
them.
YESTERDAY'S BALL GAMES
Greensboro and Charlotte Play
the Game to a Standstill.
AND THE SCORE WAS 0 TO 0.
Some Squabbling Before the Game,
But It Was a Great Game and the
"Best of Feeling Prevailed."
There was a good deal of squabbling
yesterday before the Greensboro
Charlotte game, and there came near
being no game at all, but fortunately
for the manly sport and for the good
name of both teams matters were final
ly adjusted and those of the spectators
who remained were treated to such an
exhibition of football as is ' seldom
seen on the gridiron. It was clean,
gentlemanly and manly sport. No
rough playing, no slugging and little
fouling. The score, is sufficient evi
dence that the teams were evenly
matched. Nevertheless as seen from
the side lines Greensboro-had slighly
the better of the game. The team work
of the eleven was better and the play
ing more steady while Charlotte had
somewhat the advantage on spurts.
Greensboro outrushed and outkicked
Charlotte while Charlotte had slightly
the better of it on runs. 11 is possible
that if 30 minutes halves had been
piayea ureensooro would nave won.
by her superior team work, though it
is by no means certain and- it is, there
at fore, best to let the score as it stands
8 peak for itself. Charlotte was on the
defensive for the greater part of the
game and the ball was out of her ter
ritory but once. The ball was never
near to either goal.
With reference to the misunderstand
ing before the game it was all over
one player Charlotte wished to play
Spence, who has been playing witn
Davidson College. Charlotte claimed
he was eligible, and that was all of it,
Charlotte finally agreed to play with
out Spence.
The Charlotte Observer gives the
following impartial account of the
misunderstanding:
Mr. Michaux firmly refused to allow
his team to play, upon the ground
that Spence was not a member of the
home team and was not eligible to
take part in the game. Later, Mr.
Guion called on Mr. Michaux, and
stated that Charlotte would agree to
play without Spence provided the
game would not be for the champion
ship of the State. To this Mr. Michaux
assented, and upon this understanding
ordered his men to dress, after which
they went to the ground. When the
game was about to be called, Spence
appeared in the field, and thereupon
Greensboro refused to play."
Charlotte then ageed to take Spence
from the team, and the line-up of the
teams was as follows:
THE LINE-UP.
CHARLOTTE ( 0 ) GRKENSBORO ( 0 )
Landis right end Gilmer
Mahan right tackle Boycott
Pope '.right guard Wright
Leisel centre Jordan
Guion. left guard . .Daniels
Grier left tackle Buchanan
King(Capt. ) quarter back Douglas
Stephens left half Wharton
Harrison left half Devin
Alexander full back CaldwelK Cap )
Referee Mr. Taylor, of Greensboro.
Umpire Mr. Dodsworth, of Charlotte.
Timekeepers Mr. Fitzsimmons, of
Greensboro, and Mr. Durham, of
Gastonia. Time Two 15 minute
halves. Score Greensboro, 0; Char
lotte, 0.
Caldwell and Devin showed ground
gaining qualities, Douglas played a
steady quarter, Gilmer was quick at
end and Wright did excellent tackling,
while the way Jordan went through
Leisel and blocked a kick was the star
play of the game.
The N.C. Va. Game.
The University boys breakfasted at
the Benbow this morning on their way
home from Richmond where they gave
battle and noble battle too to her grid
iron champions yesterday. Virginia
expected an easy victory and a big
score with a blank to - the credit of
Carolina but in the big score they
were disappointed just as they were
surprised at the great game put up by
the Tar-heels. The report to the News
& Observe says :
The gladiators of the University of
Virginia have fought -another hard
battle with their adversaries of the
University of North Carolina, and one
more victory perches over the Orange
and Blue banner, v Thascore was 12 to
0. It tells of a victory as fair as it
was complete, and surprising only
from the fact that it was not more dis
astrous to the Tar-Heels, it was a
foregone conclusion that Virginia
would win and odds were freely laid
that the score would reach at least
thirty points in her favor. Except in
kicking Virginia men outplayed the
North Carolinians "in every depart
ment, but the defensive" work of the
latter was superb and though the Vir
ginians played an aggressive game
from start to finish and kept the ball
well within their opponents's lines,
their repeated efforts to score were de
feated by brilliant mass plays.
The North Carolina team has im
proved very much of late, and that
uncertainty which makes the sport at
tractive, was demonstrated when the
young athletes .of the White and Blue,
lighter in weight by twenty pounds and
lacking confidence, met their oppo
nents at every point and gave them
the battle of their lives. The game
was remarkable for the number of
kicks made. The ball changed hands
frequently, but neither side kept it for
any. length of time. For Virginia,
Carney was the bright particular star,
while for North Carolina Beldon did
yeoman service. Virginia scored the
first touch down and kicked an easy
goal early in the first half, and the
second just half a minute before time
was called in the second half. There
were many fumbles, but few off side
plays. Heretofore the rivalry between
the Universities has been so keen that
much animus has been ' displayed in
the games, but one of the pleasantest
features of the struggle today was the
fact that there was not a harsh word
passed, and there was no slugging.

HER SIGHT RESTORED IN CHURCH
Mrs. Brazil Believes That Her Blind.
ness Was Removed by Prayer.
Kankakee, 111., 23 During the forty.
hours' devotion at the Chebanse Cath
olic Church recently Mrs. Michael
Brazil recovered her sight after two
years of blindness.
Mrs. Brazill had prevously consult
ed specialists at Kankakee and Chi-
igo, and had been told that nothing
but an operation would restore her
vision. To this she would not consent
She prayed incessantly that her sight
might return, and had faith that her
petitions would be answered. She at
tended the devotional exercises and
groped her way to the altar, where
she asked the priest, the Rev. Father
O'Mara of Chicago, to intercede for
her. Almost instantly she announced
that she saw as well as before she was
afflicted.
PINGREE'S ASPHALT LAKE.
Venezuela Said to Have Sold Him a
Twenty-Million Dollar Concession.
Detroit, Nov. 24: One of the closest
friends of Gov. Pingree in this city
said today that before long the Gov
ernor and his associates would be the
owners of the most valuable asphalt
lake on the eastern coast of Venezuela.
The arrangements for the purchase
of this lake, which is on an island,
were made during the recent visit of
the Governor, and the estimated value
of the island is $20,000,000. A com
pany is tobe capitalized under the
Michigan laws at $750,000 and articles
of incorporation will be drawn up
within the next three weeks. The con
tracts are expected by the next steam
er. H. K. Reid Dead.
H. K. Reid, one of the oldest and
most respected citizens of Reidsville
and one of the family from which the
town was named, died there yesterday
about half past eleven o'clock. He
was a leader in business and religious
circles in his town. He was a member
of the Baptist church. Dave Settle, a
brother of ex-Congressman Thomas
Settle, is an adopted son of Mr. Reid
and will probably fall heir to a large
share of Mr. Reid's very considerable
property.
Fell 1 65 Feet.-
Speeial to The Telegram.
Reidsville, Nov. 26. While painting
the 125 foot smoke-stack at the Edna
cotton mills yesterday, Ellery Cole, a
Greensboro painter, 23 years old, lost
his hold and fell 105 feet. He sus
tained what are thought to be only
slight injuries, chest bruised and three
ribs broken. At 3:30 this afternoon
he was resting easy and his physician
thinks he will get well.
THE BRILLIANT BAL POUDRE
An Unusually Large Number of
Dancers and Onlookers.
AND EVERYBODY WAS DELIGHTED
There Was Good Music," Beauty and
Lovely Costumes and They
. '' Danced on Till Horning.
The Bal Poudre, given under the
direction of the Crocail club on Wed
nesday evening, was the most brilliant
event in the way of a ball that has glad
dened the hearts of the dancers here
for many a day. From9:30 to 4 o'clock
in the morning all went as merrily as
the sweet strains of Greensboro's
youthful but excellent orchestra. Nev
er was the beauty of " Greensboro out
in greater force nor the capacity of
her young men for entertaining beau
tifully and well more in evidence. The
hall was crowded with spectators and
the floor awhirl with "the -dancers
dancing in tiune." And what is more
striking than a ball room floor filled
with handsome ladies and courtly
gentlemen well costumed? One might
almost fancy that the days of the Louis
had come back again the dear,stately
romantic old"daysthat are no more."
Some of the costumes of both the
ladies and gentlemen were very beau
tiful. The powdered wigs and knee
buckles, the laces and frills and gowns
of centuries agone make modern cos
tumes look very unpoetic.

and veteran leader, lead with Miss
