? Wrinkles
t Around the Eyes
Are usually caused by defec
tive sight. Many women, and
likewise men, look prematurely
old from these wrinkles. The
wrinkles in many cases can be
removed by wearing correctly
fitted elasses. To fit glasses cor
rectly demands a thorough know
ledge of refraction and the nec
essary instruments. We have
both; hundreds of satisfied cus
tomers will say so.

DIDN'T LIKE THE-SHOW.
Wants to
Go to a Circus
Some Fun.
to Have
After the show last night two young
gentlemen, one of whom was probably
a first cousin to the man who- tried to
blow out the gas at the Academy on
Wednesday night, were walking up the
street together. The show-was very pa
thetic and had evidently brought tears
to the young man's eyes, for as they
walked along he looked up and said,
'Pshaw, I don't like a show like that.
By gum, I want to go to a circus.
His friend remained silent and the
young countryman, being chilled by
the cold air, went on : "I got a jug
of 'mineral water' up here at the Ban
ner warehouse and I want to get to it.
I'm mighty particular about what I
drink. In a half hour from now, I
couldn't walk this twelve-foot side
walk."
By this time those walking in front
of him had become too full of laughter
to remain and walked around the
crowd.
It was gathered that the young man
was from near Haw River and had
brought a load of tobacco to town
He was walking with a friend who ha9
a position here.
An Old Dodger Caught.
George idacKney, colored, was ar
rested last night by policeman Pearce,
on two warrants which have been in
the hands of the police.for some time.
One is for carrying a concealed weapon
and the other for disorderly conduct
on the streets. The police have been
after Hackney for sometime, but he is
a good dodger and has managed to
keep out of their way. He was stand
ing in front of Barker's store on West
Market street last night, talking to
about half a dozen friends when Officer
Pearce joined the party unnoticed, and
quietly joined Hackney to him, and
together they marched quietly to the
jail. Hackney was evidently prepar
ing to leave town, for when arrested
he wore two coats and two pair of
pants and had a breast pocket stuffed
with collars.

ATLANTIC TRANSPORT SUNK
Went Ashore Bftween Manacles
and The Lowlands.
A LARGE NUMBER PERISHED.
The Atlantic Transport Mohegan
Founders in a Gale The Crew
Worked Nobly and Orderly.
By Cable To The Tklbgram.
London, Oct. 15 The particulars of
the foundering of the Atlantic Trans
port's steamship Mohegan, near the
Lizard, are coming in slowly. A dis
patch from Falmouth merely announ
ces that she. sank with fifty-nine pas
sengers and a crew of one hundred and
fifteen, after striking between Manacles
and the Lowlands.
After striking her back broke and
she slid into deep water, carrying all
save thirty-three persons, who suc
ceeded in getting away in life boats.
Fourteen were found clinging to rocks.
A tug picked up a tr-an who had
been floating for seven hours. He said
be was dining when he heard the crash
and found they were on the rocks.
The-utmost order prevailed among
the crew who worked nobly. The b"oats '
were lowered and filled with women,
but he is unable to say what became
of them.
In less than twenty minutes after the
rash the ship settled and went down.
The night was perfectly clear.
The latest and most authentic re
ports give the number saved at seven
ty-five; lost ninety-nine. From the
dispatches in the morning papers we
take the following :
"The coast at this point is extreme
ly dangerous, and has been the scene
of numerous wrecks. Some years ago
there was a movement set on foot to
get a light-ship placed there, but it
failed.
"A dispatch from Falmouth says the
Mohegan foundered and was partly
blown ashore by the heavy east wind
soon after her machinery was disabled.
All the Falmouth tugs went out, but
none were ableto approach the vessel."
r '
The Show Last Night.
"Eat Lynne," at the Academy last
night was witnessed by a much larger
audience than was out the night before.
The company is growing in favor with
every performance. The work of Miss
Tucker last night as Lady Isabel and
Madame Vine and that of Mr. Thad-
deus Gray as Archibald Carlyle
has seldom been surpassed here.
The whole troupe did well. The scene
of the death of Lit'le Willie most real
istic and touching and there were
scores of wet eyes in the audience.
Tonight the old but ever popular
and attractive drama, "Ten Nights in
a Barroom," will be played and we
pred'ct a full house.
This will be the closing performance
of the week's engagement of Chas. C.
Vaught Co., in this city and they
have caue to be proud of the new
friends thev have won by their clean
and clever performances. Show-going
people will welcome them to Greens
boro again.
Bridges Against Two of them.
Mr. B. M. Bridges, who figurap
prominently in republican circles, and
who c uld easily have defeated Brad
sbaw for the senatorial nomination
bad he wanted it, has announced that
he cannot support Mr. Ragan for
clerk or Mr. Hoskins for sheriff.
Mr. Bridges' name was placed be
fore the convention for the senate, and
the reports have it that Mr. Ragan
nissea wnen tnisrwas done. We are
not responsible for the statement, as
we did not 6ee it, but such is the re
port. It was very naughty of Mr. Ra
gan, if it is true, and will not tend to
make many votes for him in the com
ing election.
Sold His Barroom.
Mr. John R. Coble, who has been
conducting a saloon on South Elm
street near Udell's, nas sold out to a
Mr. Treadway. The pleasing part of
the transaction is that Mr. Coble had
the manliness to apologize to the
South Greensboro W. C. T. U. for
ever-engaging in the business.
The people of Greensboro will be
glad to learn this bit of news, and re
joice at Mr. Coble's good intentions
and manliness in acknowledging his
error. Ha is entitled to the highest
respect and good will of all good peo
ple.
Mr. Coble Commended.
The members of South Greensboro
W. C. T. U. desire to express their
commendation of the action of Mr.
John Coble in abandoning the liquor
business, and in offering public apol
ogy for having engaged in it.

NOTES FROM HIGH POINT.
I
The
Local News From Our Neighbor
: Briefly Told.
v Telegram Bureau .
High Point. N. C, Oct. 15, '98.
From the number of subscribers we
have gained (who must be democrats),
and the number we have lost ( who
must be republicans ), since Adams and
Reynolds spoke here, we predict the
biggest democratic vote in this State
that there has ever been, if democrats
are as thick in all settlements as they
are here
The new guard houe is about ready
to be launched We do not expect it
to be christened with rum, but old
"bust head" may be the cause of some
one having the pleasure of christen
ing it.
The concert the last two nights in
the opera house by the Boston Italian
string band far surpasses anything of
the kind that haseverbeen given here.
You missed a musical treat if you
missed this.
The second meeting of the democrat
ic club will be held Monday night in
the Masonic hall at 7t30, Every dem
ocrat in the t' wnship is urged to be
there. Remember it costs you noth
ing. From the number present the
first night we expert to see the hall
packed Monday night.
C. J. Fields has been practicing
with the Greensboro pig-6kin chasers
who will meet Bingham's school on
the girdiron in Greensboro next Mon
day. "Nance" will play quarter back.
He is rather light compared with
Messrs. Daniels, Wright, Cone and
others, but we expect him to do his
part.
Don't forget Prof. Gentry's famous
Dog and Pony show Monday. This
show is spoken of by those who have
seen it and the newspapers throughout
the country as the greatest trained
animal show on earth.
Rev. Dr. J. B. Richardson will fill
the pulpit tomorrow morning at the
Baptist church. It will be announced
from the pulpit who will preach in the
evening.
There will be no services except Sun
day school at the Presbyterian church
tomorrow morning. The usual C. E.
and preaching services may be expect
ed at night. A special sermon on the
work of the holy spirit will be preach
ed. The usual services may be ex-
rected at all other churches. Strangers
are cordially invitea to an oi tne
churches.
Oliver Benbow received a telegram
from Statesville last night stating that
Mr. Turner, his father-in-law was
very ill. Mr. Benbow and Miss Nel
lie Dundas left for there this morning.
Hon. Chas. M. Cook, ex-secretary
of state, who was expected here to
night to address the people, cannot get
here in time to speak, but will spend
the day here with his friends tomor
row.
C. A. Hammer returned last night
from the north.
We guess those boys who were un
ruly yesterday in school have realized
"It is hard to kick against the pricks."
Prof. Crowell, who weighs 260 pounds,
keeps right in the middle of the road,
and students who are rebellious, diso
bedient or disrespectful to his teachers
or the school have to beware lest he
step on them. But we can say for him
and the entire faculty that they are as
just and kind as they are positive
We believe that is the keynote of their
excellent government and discipline
We regret that these two boys did not
submit to one of the other three condi
tions, all of which were very reasona
ble, rather than to accept the one
they did. They injure themselves and
not the school. In connection, we clip
from the Enterprise of yesterday the
following : "At the beginning of the
second month of this term of our gr&
ded school everything is working so
harmoniously that there is not even a
shadow of a suggestion for an im
provement. Our school has made the
most remarkable record of any within
our knowledge.
Bothered With Tramps.
Editor Telegram : A number of !&
dies on West Bragg and Lee street
have been bothered with tramps calling
themselves agents. They claim to be
selling powders for clothing. One of
them called at a lady's house yester
day and offered a package of his pow
ders for his dinner, and after he got
the dinner refused to give the powders
He then went to another house and or
dered dinner, with hot coffee, etc. We
all want him to call again and we will
erive him hot coffee, powder and lead
combined. One of the Ladies.

THE PEACE COMMISSIONERS
Are Moving Things Along Very
Slowly.
REPORTS BASED ON CONJECTURE
Financial Questions Alone Have Been
Considered Commercial Ones
Are Not Yet Touched.
By Cable to The Tklbgbak.
Paris, Oct. 15 The sensational dis
patches, which are claimed to be defi
nite, concerning the peace commission
conferences, it is said, are based only
on conjecture.
The information comes from Madrid
that both the Spanish and American
commissioners are mute and they don't
foresee any publication of their pro
ceedings. Joint sessions were held twice this
week, not by the rules, but according
to the convenience of referring from
the government at Madrid certain
questions. The United States commis
sioners, besides plenary powers, have
full instructions upon definite matters
in which ex-Secretary Day has already
been the chief agent. It is understood
that the financial questions are upper
most in consideration and that com
mercial ones have not yet been touched.
The Real Issue.
Mr. Editor -Your editorial comment
on the paragraph copied from Dr.
Crawford's editorial, in this week's
Advocate, it seems to me, dodges the
real issue. The church is not complain
ing of Mr. Duke's gifts to Trinity Col
lege,- but of her being made a partner
in his business.
We do not think money has any
moral character. We do not, as a
church, examine its history when it
comes to us. It may have been through
cigarette factories, or whiskey saloons;
but when cigarette factories or whiskey
saloons offer to take us into partner
ship in their business we cannot con
sent. If we take their money it should
be with the distinct understanding that
we condemn their business.
The great danger in our receiving
these large gifts is that the church may
come to have some sympathy with the
business that turns into her treasury
these large sums of money, and that
her ministers may be silent ( as we fear
many now are) as to a great evil.
J. H. Weaver.
A Bad Runaway.
A large bay horse belonging to
Cunningham Brothers, while standing
in front of Mrs. Weill's new building
yesterday afternoon, took fright at a
hand organ and a monkey and dashed
off for home. He was running like a
vestibule limited when he struck an
electric light pole, smashing one wheel
of a brand new wagon to pieces. The
horse broke loose and was thrown by
the jerk, but did not stop in getting
up. Cunmngnam Brothers are now
thinking that a monkey and hand or
gan, and especially the grinder, are
nuisances, both singly and collectively.
The Fever Situation.
By Wire to The Telegram.
New Orleans, Oct. 15 The State
board hbs received a report of only
one new case and no deaths. The in
dications are that the meeting in De
cember for the purpose of preventing

Jackson, Miss., Oct. 15 The weath
er is cool and it is expected that a

ty new cases reported in the state and
the situation remains unohanged.

Washington, Oct. 15 The occur
rence of frost this morning in various

light by marine hospital authorities,
who now look for a rapid diminution
