EAGERLY AND ANXIOUSLY,
The President and all Washington
Officials are Waiting.
CONGRESS IS VERY RESTIVE.
Secretary Long Declares the Report
is Noi In WashingtonSome
Doubt Expressed.
By Wire to Thk Tklbgram.
Washington, March 19. President
McKinley, members of the Cabinet and
of both branches of Congress, all offi
cials in Washington aud tlio public
generally are eagerly and anxiously
watching and waiting for the report
of the naval board of inquiry which
will set forth the cause of the explosion
that wrecked the battleship Maine and
perhaps fix the guilt or the innocence
of the Spanish people.
For several days the statement has
been persistently made that the report,
or a portion of it, would be in the
hands of the president today. "Secre
tary Long declares it is not here, and
all that can be learned is that the ad
ministration expects to have it in a
few days.
This may be true, but there is good
reason to believe that the president
will know what the verdict is sooner
than "in the course of a few days."
The message of the president is not
likely to go to congress until 'the last
of the coming week, and in the mean
time congress is very restive. The re
ports that the administration favors a
further trial of autonomy in Cuba
meets with general indignation.
HIS EXCELLENCY.
Very Good Play to Very Good House.
Flowers for Cam Bailey.
The Fdwin A. Davis Company pre
sented "His Excellency," a three-act
comedy drama, to a large audience at
the opera house last night. The com
pany had a local attraction in Cam
Bailey, which, aside from the merits
of the play, would have filled the
house.
"His Excellency" and the Davis
Company made their first acquain
tance here. The play was presented
by them for the first time last night.
For a first night's performance it did
well. As the players become accus
tomed to each other any little rough
ness that might have been apparent
last night will be smoothed off. The
play is full of clever lines, and seemed
to be just what the crowd wanted.
Special interest was naturally centered
iu Cam Bailey. His specialties were
very clever. He was recalled several
times, and after one appearance was
presented with a handsome bouquet.
The company goes from here to Gas
tonia. It may possibly give Char
lotte a return date. If so, another
large house will greet it. Observer.
The Skating Carnival.
A large crowd was 'present at the
skating rink last night to take part in
the skating carnival. In addition to
the home skaters there were parties
from Reidsville and Burlington. Man
ager Bogart tells us that it was the
most successful carnival ever held here.
Music was furnished by the brass
band. Two arc lights were put in for
the occasion.
The prizes were awarded as follows:
Best gentleman skater, pair of bi
cycle skates Geo. Banks.
Beat lady skater, pair ladies ball
bearing skates Miss Julia Pearce.
Best trick skater, pair Raymond
clamp skates James Pearce.
Prettiest costume, Waterman's Ideal
Fountain Pen Miss HallieHall.
Most comical costume, pair Ray
mond clamp skates Mr. Sharpe.
In the cake walk the cake was
awarded to Comodore Morgridge and
Mr. Sharpe.
Free Concert.
The Brpckmann orchstra intends to
give a concert in the court house next
Friday night and probably Saturday

talent of the city. A. H. Aiderman,

ments and program.

president and it is due largely to his
earnest efforts that North Carolina

pitably entertained. Revs. M. A.
Kelsey and W. R. Lowdermilk deserve
much praise for their excellent man
agement in this connection.

DEATH OF CAPT. H. L. HOOVER.
He Passed Away This florntng at
Six O'clock.
Capt. H. L. Hoover, who was strick
en with paralysis last Monday, died at
6 o'clock this morning, at the resi
dence of Mrs. Payne. Although
Captain Hoover lingered nearly a
week, at no time was much hope enter
tained for his recovery, as he was sel
dom conscious.
Capt. Hoover graduated at Wash
ington and Lee University with honor
and selected teaching as his profes
sion.
When the war opened he left teach
ing and joined the famous "Sione
wall Jackson Brigade" and because
of his bravery was made a captain.
After the close of the war he returned
to teaching and for many years was a
profossor at the Washington and Lee
University.
Too close and constant application
to his duties in the university impair
ed his health and he was compelled to
resign.
He then entered into the insurance
business and continued in it until his
death. He was an old school Virginia
gentleman, kind heai'ted, gentle, cour
teous and a man known for his Chris
tian piety. He never evinced any fear
of death and his child-like faith was
beautiful to see.
Although Capt. Hoover had only
been in Greensboro a short time, he
leaves behind a large circle of warm
friends, who mourn their loss.
He was 63 years old and leaves a
wife and one daughter, and was a con
sistent and loyal member of the Pres
byterian church.
Rev. Dr. Smith conducted a short
service over the body this morning be
fore it left on the noon train for Staun
ton, Va.t where the remains will be
interred in the family burying ground.

with the prescription to one of the largest and

the lenses got broken recently and was carried
to the Greensboro Eye Specialist to be re

accorded with the prescription, and so changed
them both. Mr. Vanstory sent the old lenses
