DAVID GARRICK.
James Young Pleased and Delighted
The Audience.
The brilliant and talented James
Young played David Garrick- to a
Greensboro audience last night. To
say that all were pleased and delight
ed is putting it in mild terms.
When Manager Blackburn, of the
Academy of Music, wrote in his ad the
other day "the best for the last," he
did not miss the truth very far. Mr.
Young is admirably supported and
when the curtain went down on the
last act last night all were sorry the
play was over.
Mr. Young appears tonight in "The
Lady of Lyons." This will be his
closing performance and all lovers of
a genuine artist on the stage should
get their seats at once.
In order to give everybody a chance
to see Mr. Young and his. splendid
company in the "Lady of Lyons" the
curtain will not ring up until after
prayer meeting, say nine o'clock.
Doors open at eight o'clock.
Mr. Young visited the Greensboro

the reception he receiyed , and we pre
dict that he will be shown their appre
ciation of his visit by a full house of
college girls to see Hamlet this after

night. .""

Translating Dewey's Report.
By Wire to Tri Tklbgram
Washington, May 4 The strategy
board has been today considering the
best course to pursue with reference to
the -Spanish fleet which is now west
ward bound from the Cape Verde Is
lands. The proposition was submitted
and discussed that this fleet must
either be met on the high seas and an
nihilated or we must seize Porto Rico
and thus throw the Spanish base of
supplies accross the Atlantic ocean.
It is understood that the board has
decided on the latter course and that a
swift patrol service will be established
to notify our men of the approach of
Spanish vessels in order that our ships
may meet them and give battle. There
is still some nervousness over the pos
sibility of Spanish cruisers skirting
the coast and doing damage since
Spain has despaired of her ability to
cope with us in a face to face struggle.
Many efforts are being made by of
ficers to satisfactorily account for the
failure of the first detachment of
troops to start to Cuba on schedule
time. It is believed that the plans
have been changed.

ASTOR CHANLER OFF TO CUBA.
Said to Have Started With Four
Friends to Join Gomez.
Disgusted with Jthe poor prospects of
having a part in the fighting in Cuba
as commander of a regiment of Amer
icans. William Astor Chanler, it is
stated, has resolved to cast his for
tunes with Gomez.
He was told last week in Washing
ton that the force he had organized
here will not be needed by the Gov
ernment. The news was bitter disap
pointment to him, because he hid ac
cumulated a body of picked men, ev
ery one of them warranted by two doc
tors sound in wind and limb,
and guaranteed by their own as
surances to be without any family ties
which would inspire them with undue
prudence in the heat of battle. His
purpose was to lead into service ten
full companies of able-bodied dare
devils and to enjoy excitement with
them and fun with the forces of Gen.
Blanco. When these hopes were offi
cially destroyed he determined to go
ahead and do the best he could to pur
sue his own ideas of a happy summer
outing. New York Sun.
nay or Crutchfield Vindicated.
In Monday's municipal election in
Winston in which Col. A. B. Gorrell
was elected, the retiring Mayor Crutch
field received 523 votes and T. J. Wil
son 376 votes. Wilson was the candi
date of the Lybrook faction and every
inch of ground was thoroughly work
ed. We learn that in the recent con
test for postmaster between Lybrook
and Crutchfield the former's friends
agreed before the authorities in Wash
ington that-Crutchfield was exceeding
ly unpopular in Winston and that he
could not poll fifty votes in a city
election. The result of this contest
shows' who is the choice of Winston re
publicans. The Way of the World.
Yesterday at the Southern depot in
this city the dead body of L. Bryan,
enroute to Virginia for interment, lay
on a hand dray and was unconsciously
brushed and jostled against by the
surging thousands who were gathered
there to see the soldier boys off. The
story of life and death was briefly
told. It is the way of the world.
There lay a form cold and silent in
the last long sleep, totally oblivious
of the animated, moving throng
around it. There was an immense
crowd of people, full of life and vigor,
knowing nothing and caring nothing
for the dead body in their midst.
Bicycle Drill.
A the request of many who were
unable to attend the bicycle drill given
semetime ago, the drill, with all its be
wildering and pretty figures, will be

sals for the drill and those who see it
this time will be more delighted than
they were on the former occasion.

LIEUTENANT SETTLE
He May Be Appointed Ueutenal Col
onel of N. C. Volunteers.
A strong effort is being made by
Senator Pritchard to have the Presi
dent appoint Lieutenant Douglas Set
tle, of North Carolina to a staff posi
tion in the volunteer service.
Lieutenant Douglas Settle is a
brother of Hon. Thos. Settle of this
place. He is North Carolinian by
birth and is still acitizen of this state.
For the last ten years he has been a
Lieutenant in the tenth United States
Infantry and has spent this time at
various forts on the frontier. The ex
perience gained out in the west with
the Indians peculiarly qualifies Mr.
Settle for the position.
For the last eighteen months he has
been a member of the staff of Gover
nor Atkinson of West Virginia. Lieu
tenant Settle has lately been detailed
by the government to muster in the
West Virginia volunteers.
Although the effort is being made to
have him appointed by the President,
Mr. Settle desires to be appointed
a Lieutenant-Colonel of North Caro
lina volunteers and be associated with
his own people. This appointment is
made by Governor Russel. Mr. Settle
is a West Pointer and after over eleven
years active service, he is Jemminently
qualified to fill any position to which
the governor may see fit to appoint
him.
