Owing to the rain there was not a large crowd at the Academy of Music last night, but those .'who were there enjoyed some rich comedy.' "Cheek" was on the boards, and each part was entered into in earnest and played with snap. The audience was highly entertained; not an objectionable feature was al lowed to creep into the play. There were no smutty jokes . or coarse spe cialties thrown into it to fill up. The plot was played straight through from start to finish. Tonight "The bea Waif" will be put on. This Romnanv is eriviner a errade of performances considerably above the average visiting this section; Ihere has been only one performance given here this season which ranks with that given last night R.

A close friend of the yoUng woman said today that she and her attorney, F. M. McCluskey, had agreed that it was best to have the Brooklyn judgment set aside, as there was ample ground for suits here.

Fields & Hanson's Minstrel Stara and Grand Concert Band will be the attraction at the Academy of Music next Wednesday. They will present a program of refreshing minstrelsy .that is to say, their performance is new, and is devoted solely to special fea tures and timely surprises, while the entertainment in its entirety is "swept by ocean breezes" of genuine "1897" wit. A brand new curtain raiser, the newest thing in minstrelsy, is called, An Evening with the Elks,"' and serves to introduce the entire organi zation in a series of song and story of recent issue. A recently added num ber, "The Golden Shower," is a posi tive novelty, and is described as a ro mance of the Kondyke, terminating with "The Dance of Dawson City's 400." THEY HAVE RETURNED. And There are Not so' Many Cotton Tails Now in Chatham. The Brooks huntiner party have all returned from Chatham county, the home and dwelling place of the festive rabbit and quail. According to the fierures eriven to us they killed 144 rab bits, 160 birds, 13 'possums andl coon. No trouble to kill 'em in Chatham: that is their home and they are like the Chatham county populists they refuse to leave, come to stay you know, and all you have to do is to walk up on 'em the rabbits in their homes and shoot 'em. There is, however, one trouble about it and that is where to find them. Now this is rather funny, but in this they are not unlike the populists, for it takes a good hunter to find them when he's looking for them. However, in the case of the rabbits, Andrew Brooks knows where they stay, and if you can go along witn mm you may be sure of your game, and there is no limit to the number. An Estimate of the Conference. A Raleigh correspondent " of the Charlotte Observer estimates the con ference in session there as follows: It is conceded by many who are ca pable of judging that the North Caro lina Conference is a body of men of unusually fine personnel. This is un doubtedly true, for it is seldom that one sees in a body of 300 men as many men of strikingly handsome faces and impressive bearing. Another striking feature of this Conference is the par liamentary ability of the body. The leading men are in every sense true lawyers of the Church. Their argu mentative power is above the average and no business which requires any discussion whatever is passed over in a light manner. Every question be fore the Conference is considered thoughtfully and thoroughly. As in all bodies of this kind, both religious and political, there are certain men who are recognized as the leading speakers. In argument and discussion in this Conference, Revs. E. A. Yates, B. R. Hall, F. D. Swindell, R. B. John , J, N. Cole and J. C. Kilgo are looked upon as the leaders. A VIGILANCE COMMITTEE Attempts To Take Charge of Af fairs in Prague. MORE TROOPS SENT TO CHINA.

Cargo of Cancelled Mortgages to The Omaha ' Exposition. Topeka Kan., Dec 2 A plan to send a carload of cancelled Kansas mortgages to the Trans-Mississippi Exposition in Omaha next year as an evidence of prosperity in this State was perfected here today. Charles Harris, a republican mem ber of the Legislature, is the father of the idea. He presented it at a confer ence of representative republicans, and urged that it would be a good practi tical refutation of the "calamity talk" frequently indulged in by the popu lists. An address will be issued to the peo ple of Kansas urging them so to ar range their affairs as to pay off their mortgages before January the 1, thus enabling the promotors of . the project to show to the world that Kansas is al most free from debt, and that it is all the work of one year of prosperity.

Dec.2 The steamer Egyptian, bound from Cleveland to Milwaukee with a cargo of coal, burn ed to the water's edge in Lake Huron last night off Sturgeon Point. The fire was discovered by the Stur geon Point life saving crew, about 8 o'clock, who started at once to the res cue, arriving at the burning boat at 11 o'clock. On the way to the steamer the life saving crew passed a barere which had taken the Egytian's crew off ,but the life savers continued on their way with the hope of being able to save the burning bulk. There were twelve vessels around the Egyptian during the early part of the fire, but by the time the life sav ing crew had reached her they were all gone. Without help of any kind at hand, the life savers were compelled to leave the Egyptian without doing anything after rowing about 35 miles in wea-th er near zero. None of the life savers suffered permanent injury from the cold. The Ladles' Ba The Ladies' Bazaar promises to be a ierreat success.
