Policeman Pearce last night found a white man without hat, coat or shoes on, lying on the ground near th Southern freight depot. The fellow was dead drunk and the officer could not arouse him to learn his name or where he was from. He was very cold and the officer fearing that the man would die from exposure, began takiDg up a collection from the small crowd which had gathered around him, to pay for the unfortunate's lodging. When the collection had been taken a liMle was lacking and the officer generously paidit. The half dressed drunk man was un fit to be taken to a white boarding house bo Mr. Pearce carried him to a negro restaurant and tucked him in bed. ( The officer did not go back to hear the man express himself when he waked up this morning. ) Th poor fellow had undoubtedly become so degraded that he had sold his clothes for money to buy liquor. We do not believe that Greensboro has a bar-keeper who is so anxious to sell it that he would stoop so low as to take a poor man's clothes as pay. IN A DILEMMA. But the Merchant Took Hold of Both Horns. One of Greensboro's hustling and most prominent grocerymen found him self confronted by a most perplexing condition the other night. He has two or three clerks, and on the night in question one of them secured leave of absence to go 'possum hunting. This particular clerk happened to have the keys to the s'.ore in his pocket and carried them off with him. After closing the day's work and preparing to go home, the proprietor found, to his dismay, that he had no keys U lock up with. He scratched his head for a solution of the problem, and decided to get a new lock and put on the door. He sallied forth to put this idea into execution, and found the hardware stores all closed. Finally, tired and disgusted, he hired a man to stay in the store all night, thus seizing the dilemma by both horns. HE "RODE" WHITE. A Circumstauce Which Greatly Amused a Colored Man. Greensboro hss a colored citizen who is almost white. He looks and behaves like a white man. He is pos sessed of some means, and on a recent visit to Columbia, S. C to look after some property, he entered the colored folks' car when leaving. The conduc tor came through, looked at him a moment and said; "Look here this car is for negroes; you go into the white people's car where jou belong." Aaron Men&enhall, for he it was, was greatly tickled, but he; picked up his grip, and on the command of the con ductor, rode with the white people. It is a good joke on the conductor, and no one appreciates more, as a joke, than doas Aaron. Considering the Bids. At the special meeting of the board of Aldermen last night, bids were opened concerning the lighting of the city from the Greensboro Gas and Electric Light Company, and a com pany from Baltimore, represented by Mr. E. W. Phillips. The Baltimore firm's proposition carried with it a provision for putting in street cars, while the home company deals only with the lighting question. A committee eomposed of aldermen Ellington, Sergeant and Merrimon, were appointed to consider the bids, aided by the mayor and city attorney, and report to a meeting next Monday night. Marriage in Charlotte. Mr. T. T. Smith, Jr. left yesterday for Charlotte where he will bemarried this evening to Miss Bessie Ramseur, of that city. The marriage will be a quiet home affair and will take place at 7:30 o'clock, Rev. J. W. Stagg offi ciating.

THE VERY LATEST NEWS, Spain Has Nothing to Do But Sab. mlt to The Inevitable. GERMAN INTERVENTION A MYTH And the Dons Should Set About Pre paring Themselves for Future Struggles, Says the Journal. By Cable to Thb Tklbg ram. Paris, Nov. 16 The Journal, referr ing to the peace negotiations says: "We think the extravagant exactions of the United States make a discussion almost impossible between that coun try and Spain and nothing but sub mission on Spain's part seems pos sible, as the rumored intervention of Germany is a myth. Spain should reconcile herself about preparing for her future struggles." NOT THE LAST MEETING. Madrid, Nov. 16 The minister of foreign affair received a communica tion from Paris today in regard to the peace conference, the contents of which are not made public; but it is not thought in government circles that. to day's meeting of the joint commission will be the last, though in any ca6e the government will insist upon de fending Spain's rights in the Philip pines. THE SPANISH REPLY. Paris, Nov. 16 The Spanis commis sioners this afternoon presented along reply to our peace demand, which was not read. The reply, however was out linod by Spanish authorities and is a statement of the reasons why Spain could not afford to give up the Philip pines. The joint meeting today began at 2:15 and ended at 3 o'clock. At that time the commission adjourned until Saturday. A True Story. People know what they want. Yesr terd:iy a gentleman called in a store for an article, of a certain brand. The merchant said he had bought it but it was not yet in, and showed him other brands trying his utmost to sell his customer, but no go, and he was about leaving when a box of Home Plate tobacco was delivered at the door. There it is now said the merchant. All right said the gentleman, that's just what I want give me a piece here is your money, and he went on his way rejoicing. Moral. You better keep Home Plate tobacco in your store, if you de sire to sell those who want the best. In another column see the names of those who keep it on sale. Another Business House.

The Metropolitan Concert Company played and sang to a medium siged audience at the Academy of Music last night. The company is composed of Mr. Arthur Freeman, pianist, Miss Jeanie Benson, violinste, Mr. Carl Rieck, tenor, and Miss Julie Vallette, soprano. The music was for the moat part high class and local eritics speak of it in high terms, the most finished artist being, possibly, Miss Benson, the violiniste. The WholeThing. A man named Smith robbed railway agent Smith, of Hunter's Creek, Mich., of some express packages, was arrest ed by a canstable named Smith, was tried before Judge Smith, and sentenc ed, and was taken to the penitentiary by deputy sheriff Smith. The Smiths seem to be pretty near the whole thing in that neck o' woods. Denver Post. r 1 - 1 NOTES FROM HIOH POINT. The Local News From Our Neighbor Briefly Told. Telegram. Bureau. High Point, N. C. Nov. 16 f The Metropolitan Concert Company have arrived and will give their con cert tonight after the services at the Presbyterian church are over. The concert at the M. E church last night by the Woody Bros. Company was just what we said it would be worth several times the price of admis sion. The singing by the class was good. It would hardly seem possible that in five lessons one could learn what his class has learned. In fact, the class is so well pleased that they are now trying to organize .another class for a second tend. The first part of the entertainment consisted of songs by the class, after which part of the audience left and missed what the re maining part of the audience said was the finest singing they have ever heard. We agree with them. It was indeed charming. r The first-class car of the Ashboro train has been taken off to haul troops to southern camps. So Capt. Rankin is running a "roberttail" train again. O. A. Kirkman, superintendent of the Mattress and Bed Springs Com pany, who has recently bought the old academy property, has had the southern wing of the building moved to the lower part of the lot and will son build to it and go to making mat tresses therein. A porch is being con structed around the main part of the building, which will be used as a dwelling. The entire lot is being f need in. The next attraction at the opera house will be Joadwine and Burke's Grand Concert and Comedy Co., to morrow night at the opera house at 8:30 o'clock, who advertise a carefully selected company of artists, composed i f talented ladies'. and clever comedians in a repertoire of high class vocal iiud instrumental music, quartettes, trios, duets, interspersed with refined specialties. They have with (hem Mr. Louis Joadwiqe, who is, advertised as the eminent violin virtuoso, assisted by Miss Leon Ella Dewitt, phenomenal contralto, in a new and superb trav esty "A Slight Misunderstanding." Admission IS and 25c. Reserved seats 35o. It is still raining but don't forget the concert tonight at the opera house. The Excursion. An excursion from Bennettsville, S. C, arrived at 1:15 today with about three hundred passengers oh board. To every one we say welcome, but it is bad that it should rain on excursion day. However, it is hoped that the excursionists will not see the mud , at least not get in it, and that they will spend a pleasant afternoon in the City of Flowers. The excursion leaves at 8 o'clock. The Size of It. Hon. (?) D. J. Lewis, would be so solicitor of this district, who turned traitor to to his oolor and party, but who got snowed under by sure enough wjute folks, says, "It's h U." Well, Davie, old boy, that's just about the sie of it, and it's exactly what you deserve. All white folks who are white folks rejoice at your calamity. Such be the fate of all traitors and reneg ades Lumberton Robesonian. Going to Conference. Rev. W. C. Wilson, of Mt. Holly, spent last night in the city with Dr. T. N.

They will last about twice as long as shoes made without this special protection and cost no more than any other good shoes. THE SPANIARDS WON'T SIGN Bat Will Demand a Return to Protocol. SEMI - OFFICIAL STATEMENTS. The Spanish Will Lose the Millions Now Apparently In their Grasp, By their Foolish Pride. Madrid, Nov. 15 According to semi official statements here, the Spanish peace commissioners will maintain their present attitude in regard to the Philippine Islands, and will certainly not accept the conditions of the United States. Further, if the discussions does not return to the limits of the protocol, as viewed by the Spaniards, the Spanish commissioners have deci ded, in spite of contrary reports, not to sign a treaty of peace. It is also learned from the same sources that complete accord prevails between the Spanish government and its peace commissioners. The Spaniards declare that their re fusal to sign a treaty based on any Philippine terms thus far suggested by the United States is irrevocable. They say they do not and cannot view the taking of the Philippines as anything else than a wanton ravishment of their possessions, unless it is accompanied by a financial consideration of appre ciable size. Therefore the turn of events in the peace conference depends upon the ) willingness of the American commis sioners to extend their financial terms. Spanish sovereignty in the Philippines is now clung to by the' Spaniards chiefly as a means to obtain financial relief, if possible. Persons near to Spanish bondsmen believe that if the Americans assume the Philippine debt or pay its face amount in cash, the Spaniards would sign. If they hare not already done so, the Spanish commissioners will ulti mately advise that they must not per mit any controversy as to the binding character of the mortgage upon the revenues of the Philippines to pay the so-oalled Cuban debt. Tenacious ad herents to this claim would set up oa the Spanish side as ultimatum under which so treaty would fee signed which did not stipulate that the Philippine revenues should pay the Philippine debt. In such event the Americans would probably claim that the Philippine debt of t40,000,000 amounts to $20,000,- 000 in gold, of which about $11,000,000 has been employed in fighting the Uni ted States, leaving less than $10 ,000 ,000 chargeable in gold to the Philippines. Indeed, the United States would doubt- I less contend that even the reduced amount was used in fighting the Phil ippines and object to the Spanish con clusion that it is a fair charge against the Americans. Trouble will arise, however, before that stage is reached, as the Spanish commissioners will undoubtedly Inform the Americans that the latter have no right to exact a schedule of Spain's expenditures or any explanation re garding the destination of the money secured on these loans. A Spaniard who is posted as to the exact status of affairs informed the correspondent of the Associated Press this evening that he did not believe the Spanish commissioners would take their final stand at tomorrow's session, although he thought it possible that they might finally decline to continue the discussion except within the limits of Spain's construction of the proto col. This is another way of saying Spain may cease her contentions. Should she do so she would make an open proteet to the world against "spo liation." Infantrymen and Engineers. By Wire to Thb Tklegeam. Halifax, Nov. 16 Military author ities hee have received advioes today that the steamer Gallia has been char tered to leave England on December 10th with four hundred infantry to be attached to the Leinsten regiment here.
