Manager Selee and His Men Came
In This Morning.
GETTING DOWN TO WORK EARLY.
Some of the Qames That will be
Played Here and Elsewhere The
Man who Lost Himself.
rioston based beans and arnica
were very much in demand today at
the Benbow and the McAdoo. Man
ager Selee of the Boston base ball
team and sixteen of his champion ball
tossers came in this morning on the
vestibule.
Mr. T. H. Murnane, correspondent
of the Boston Globe, and Mr. J. C
Morse, correspondent of the Boston
Herald, accompanied the team to keep
their papers supplied with the doings
of the champions. Mr. Morse carried
a kodak with him to the grounds this
morning and "snapped" each player
for his paper. Some of the player's
poses were very fetching.
As a whole the men appear to be in
very good condition and these warm
days and hard practice will soon get
them into championship shape. A
number of the players a:e "colts" and
this year will be their first as major
league players.
The following men have so far re
ported for spring practice: Yeager,
Bemis, and Bramfield, catchers; Klo
bedanz, Sullivan, Willis, Hickman,
Mills, and Pittinger, pitchers; Lowe,
who came in Sunday from Charlotte,
2nd base; Collins, 3rd base; Long,
short stop; Duffy, left Geld; Stahl,
risrht field: Keinster, extra infield
player; Stivetts, who was one of Bos
ton's best pitchers for several yeare,
will be general utility player this year
and will play 1st -base, until Tenny
m r 11 1 a O 1 J
comes, i eager win piay center neiu
until Hamilton comes. Five of the
players have not come yet Nichols,
Lewis, Tenny, Hamilton, and Bergen.
Nichols is expected at any moment
while Hamilton and Tenny are not
looked for until the latter part of the
week. Bergen was lost while on the
way down; be may turn up at any
time. Lewis will not loin tne team
until after it returns north as he is
now working for an A. M. degree at
William's college.
Manager Seles had his men out
twice today, and will continue giviug
them daily practice nntil April 1st,
when they leave for New York, where
they open the season on the loth. They
will gradually work their way north,
playing local teams along the route.
The schedule of games to be played
here is not complete. On next Thurs
day afternoon the Bostons will play
the Augusta, Ga., league team. On
Monday the team leaves for Charlotte,
where they play the Richmond league
team. They will return and entertain
the Richmond's here Tuesday. Ladies
will be admitted free. The general
admission will be 25 cents.
Mr. Selee has several dates open
and would be glad to get a game with
Oak Ridge or -some other local team.
The Bostons tried to get a game
with the University but had no date
open that suited the U. N. C. players.
Mr. Selee will go to Durham and
endeavor to arrange a game with
Trinity College for next week, and
may also try to secure a game with
Wake Forest.

vention will be held in Nashvilie,
Tenn., July 5-11.
Invitations were extended to the

counsel and encouragement.

Bitten By lad Dog.
A Wilkesboro special to the Char
lotte Observer of this morning says:
The theme of conversation in our
hamlet was diverted from war topics
to a mad dog scare today. A colored
boy about 14 years old was bitten by
a dog supposed to have dydrophobia.
The dog must have sprung at him as
he was bitten on the lower lid of the
right eye. He was put under Dr. W.
A. Ingram for treatment.
It seems that the dog has been mad
several days, and has bitten several
other dogs which have been confined.
A posse of negroes succeeded in kill
ing the anitral.
Swearing as a Fashion.
A staid and respectable New Eng
land paper wishes to know if swearing
is going out of fashion, or the reverse.
The editor of this paper declares that,
so far as he can find out, the habit of
swearing is alsogether too prevalent
among the young men of New England
towns. He says the youth of the pe
riod do not seem to be able to say
three consecutive sentences with adju
rations of an unpleasant nature, so
that their conversation is exceedingly
annoying to people who happen to be
In their vicinity on the street or else
where. And he wants to know if this
thing is to be allowed to continue.

COL, MOWBRY'S ADDRESS,
He Pays a Glowing Tribute to Miss
Trances Willard.
SOMETHING OF HER LIFE WORK.
Other Prominent Speakers Speak
After Colonel riowbry 92nd
Anniversary of Neal Dow.
The W. C. T. U. held memorial ser
vices yesterday in the First Presby
terian church in honor of Miss F. E
vvmard. it was tne yd anniversary
of the birth of Gen. Neal Dow, the
great apostle of prohibition, and very
fitting, indeed, was it that on such an
occasion last tender tribute should be
paid to his gentle associate and co
worker. Rev. Dr. L. W. Craw
ford presided over the meeting and in
troduced Col. J. E. Mowbray, who de
livered a beautiful address, speaking
of the social, purity personal and
womanly side of Miss Willard's char
acter. He sketched briefly causes and
conditions which influenced her to
abandon the position of college presi
dent and take up temperance reform
work. In the dark days of '72, '73 and
'74, when the northern part, at least of
the United States, seemed almost over
whelmed and crushed by the traffic in
the drink demon; when social vice ran
rampant through every stratum of
society, she became alarmed for the
safety of the Republic. She went out
upon the heights and shading her eyes
saw the lowering clouds that threat
ened destruction; saw the devastation
and despair wrought in the homes of
the poor, and determined to strike a
blow for "God,homeandnativeland."
She bent her ear to catch the rumb
lings of the ages of the past that she
might learn from them the story of
the undoings of peoples, and the fall
of dynasties and of empires. She
learned that the soldiers of Hannibal,
so long as tney battled witn tne
avalanches and glaciers of the snow-
clad Alps, were invincible and scorn
fully repelled the onslaughts of the
Roman legions, but when they
had crossed the icy barrier
and had slept beneath the
soft blue skies of Capua, they were
weakened and effeminated by Roman
debauchery, and become an easy prey.
So fearing such influence which
seemed about to ovcrwhslm her own
country, she started a campaign of
sobriety and purity, actuated by an
enduring love for mankind and zeal
for the Master's cause. The work
broadening and deepening ex
tended beyond the seas, until the
slogan, "for God and home and native
land," no longer sufficed, and it be
come "for God and home and every
land." Miss Williard knew no north,
no east, no south, no west, no ease, no
rest, but, athwart the sky like a flam
ing meteor, she went.
At the close of Col. Mowbray's ad
dress appropriate remarks were made
by Prof. P. P. Claxton, Dr. Egbert
Smith and Dr. J. H. Weaver. Miss
Alta Cozart, of G. F. College, very
beautifully read a poem written for the
occasion by, Mrs. Hundley, of this
city. The services were terminated by
the singing of Miss Willard's favor
ite hymn "Blessed Be the Tie That
Binds."
The Killing of P. n. Baker.
Columbia, S. C, March 19 After
five weeks of consideration the coro
ner's jury at Lake City today found
that Postmaster Baker and child came
to their deaths by gunshot wounds in
the hands of persons unknown to the
jury.
The reward of $1,500 for 'each con
viction, offered by the government, is
said to be the largest of the kind on
record, and as the state also offered
$500 it is probable that detectives are
holding their evidence until the coro-
nor's jury had disposed of the case.
Federal Prisoners.
Officers J. W. Wilson, W. C. Painter
and Billy Woolrough were at Clegg's
Saturday night, on their way from
Lynchburg, Va., to Raleigh, with
seven United States prisoners, sent up
for counterfeiting ten dollar gold
pieces.
The prisoners were Frank Sarver,
Wm. Brown, Eugene Mills, Turner
Carson, Isom Miles, Tom Smith and
J. O. King, and the terms of imprison
ment range from one to four years.
It is said they made and passed
about $800 before the officers got on to
where so much gold was coming from.
To-day at noon officers passed
through with six more prisoners from
Knoxville, Tenn.
We could not learn for what or for
how long these last were sent over.
None of them looked to be under 35
years of age and were as jolly as if
going to a picnic,
Flower Thieves.
There has been some complaint late
ly of flower thieves in South Greens
boro. Some people have had nearly
all their lilacs stolen in a single nisrht.
This is very annoying to those who
have tried to beautify their premises
and we hear that one man perched
himself in a tree last night and pre
pared to protect his flowers with a
gun.
Mind boys or you may have the un
pleasant experience of facing a six-
shooter, while on someone else's prem
ises after dark.
WILL MAKE CONCESSIONS.
Anything to Secure Speedy Conclu
sion of a Fair Reciprocity.
London, March 20 The Madrid cor
respondent of the Standard says:
"Senor Polo Bernabe, the Spanish
minister at Washington, has been au
thorized to make all the concessions
possible in order to obtain the speedy
conclusion of a fair reciprocity. By
a mere expressed desire, this will also
include the Philippines. Both the
Cuban and Spanish cabinets are anx
ious to expedite the negotiations to
the utmost.
"Senor Polo Bernabe wires that he
has found the American state depart
ment favorably disposed on this point,
but tnat more reserve than ever is
shown on the international question
pending the settlement of the Maine
affair."

Ihe anxiety has been great for
weeks, and today the suspense is in
tense. There is everv reason to he
lieve, however, that before the meet

ning the report will be in the hands, of
Secretary Long, who will take it to

niSS DORA JONES
Will Lecture on New Congressional
Library This Week.
Miss Dora Jones, who was formally
connected with the G. F. College for a
number of years, is to be in town
Wednesday or Thursday night and
will give her illustrated lecture on the
new Congressional Library.
Miss Jones is well known all through
the State as a very talented woman
and her friends and acquaintances
here will be glad to see and hear her
on this interesting subject.
She has been a resident of Washing
ton for some years and has spent
much time and; effort in the prepara
tion of this lecture. It is both pleas
ing and instructive.
The various city schools, as well as
our citizens generally, will doubtless
give her a good audience.
Cordial Endorsement.
'His Excellency assisted by the com
pany presents to the great jury of pub
lic opinion is a remarkably strong
one and well deserves the verdict of
the cordial endorsement which it re
ceives nightly. The play is an admir
able study of every day life. Not
withstanding the gravity of the theme
it is not lacking in the element of come
dy, and its moral tone is excellent. It
is one of the few comedy dramas that
leave a good taste in the mouth. To
Edwin A. Davis, -whose tact in the art
of selecting- competent material, is
demonstrated by this association of
capable performers, is due as much
praise for his discriminating enter
prise as for his admirable impersona
tion of the title role. The whole com
pany is a gratifying I vindication of
his judgment and its reception, wher
ever they have appeared, attest to
this fact. His individual work merits
the highest commendation."
Needed Street Improvement.
The Telegram would call the atten
tion of the street department to the
condition of North Green street. This
is a much traveled street and as the
open weather comes on it will be used
by people going to and from the cem
etery. It certainly needs looking af
ter. We know the street department
is doing good work for the town and
has its hands full, but we trust that in
due time this street will be improved.
SHRUBBERY FOR THE MANSION.
Work Being Done on the Grounds
at Governor's Residence.
Mr. Robert Bottomly, the landscape
gardener at Mr. George Vanderbilt's
Biltmore estate, is at work on the
grounds at the Executive Mansion ar
ranging the plot plans which he drew
some time ago, for transplanting the
shrubbery which Mr. Vanderbilt re
cently presented to Governor Russell.
Mr. Bottomly will arrange the walks
and beds before transplanting the
shrubbery, of which there are 5,000
specimens. The shrubbery consists of
2,000 different varieties and could, with
difficulty, be duplicated. The speci
mens are rare and costly.
The appearance of the Mansion
grounds will be completely transform
ed when Mr. Bottomly completes the
task of setting out the shrubbery. -The
workis done at the expense of Mr.
