THR SANS SOUCI RE EPTION.
The Most Pleasant and Successful In
The History of The Club
The reception tendered by the Sans
Souci Club in the elegant payors of
the Benbow house last night was a
brilliant sueceos and a. great social
event in the City of Floweis. About
eighty olly people were present and
the reception was pronounced by many
as the most peasant and successful
since the Sans Souci was organized.
Such expressions as these reflect great
credit on President Matthews for the
success was largely due to his thought
fulness and energetic work. President
Matthews called the meeting to order
and the election of officers for the en
suing year was taken up. The follow
ing officers were elected:
President John M. Hammer.
Vice-President Chas L. Andrews.
Secretary Miss Nettie Murray .
Treasurer FraLk Eidridge
Mr. Hammer made short speech of
acceptance, thanking the club fo the
honor and assuring them that he w-i
try to maintain the high stand rd
whicn had been reached by his prede
cessor. At the close of his speech Mr.
Hammer introduced Prof. J. Y. Jo
ner. who made a most interesting and
elevating talk. He urged upon the
members of the club the reading of
good literature and the value of social
culture and refinement.
Miss Mary Goolsby's beautiful !n
strumental music added much to the
pleasure of the evening and is deserv
of special mention.
At 10:30 o'clock President Hammer
led the way to the dining room where
a most tempting bill of fare had been
prepared under the personal supervis
ion of Manager Frank P. Morton,
than whom there is none better at pre
paring and serving a meal. Follow
ing is the bill of fare:
Chicken salad, Saratoga chips.
olives, tea wafers, fruits. eandies. bon
bons, figs, raisins, assorted cake.
orange sherbet, tutti frutli, ice cream.
Chaperones Mrs. Annie Cator and
and Mrs. J. Y. Joyner.
BACK HOME AGAN.
Emma Myrkle and Will H Harder
Return to Greeusboro.
Emma Myrkle and Will Harder are
too well known in Gretjusboro to n d
extended mention of their engagement
at the Academy of Music all next
week. Their company is the best on
the road playing at popular prices.
Read what the Daily Observer, of
Charleston, West Va., says :
The Myrkle iV Harder Company
mades its first bow to a first-class
house at the Burlew last evening in
"For Congress, or the Blacksmith s
Daughter." A really first-class rep-
e toire company is such a rarity that
a novel and genuine pleasure to
be able to say of this one that, judging
from last night's perfo-inanee. it fills
the bill in every respect, and Charles
ton theatregoers may attend tfte suc
c:eding performances with the assur
ance that they will not only get more
than their money's worth, but that
their artistic sensibilities will not be
insulted by wretched comedy and
butchered pathos.
People who have been accustomed to
paying fancy prices to see shows no
better and not so good will appreciate
this, and will be sure to give the com
pany the eo:dial welcome and un
stinted patronage it deserves. As to
the performance last night, a g
compliment is quite insufficient,
ery raemlwr of the cast su-taii.

gether unusual in ordinary rep i
companies, and the large audiene
not only thoroughly satisfied, but

tonight when "A Hermit's Legacy, or

A clean, clever vaudeville bill was put
on last night and each evoked several
hearty and spontaneous encores. This
attractive feature will be a part of
each night's performance, with a
change of bill every time. The com
pany will win on its merits.
Wild West Press Agent.
A man who has probably seen as
much of the world as any man in it,
Mr. Frank Frost, the courteous pres
agent of Pawnee Bill's wild west show,
made the Telegram a pleasant call this
morning. He is an interesting and
entertaining talker, and under
stands much of the ways of the
world. He was in the theatrical bus
iness in Hong Kong, China and Ma
dras, India, and enjoys the distinction
of having run a daily newspaper in
Calcutta.

Jersey City, Nov. 18 In a dense fog:
which overhung the TIackensack Mead
ows this morning a gang of section
hands who were at work near the
Pennsyl vania railroad shops, stepped
out of the path of a west-boundfreight
train into the devouring jaws of the
Millstone Express, which was running'
at an extra high rate of speed to re
cover lost time.
Of the nineteen men who composed
the ill fated squad of hands, fourteen
of them were picked up like ten pins
by the pilot of the rapid train and
thrown in all directions about the
meadows. Eleven of them were killed
outright and two others died before
medical aid was secured. The other
one is frightfully injured and will die.

SHAPING THE EXACT TERMS ,
Americans Are Preparing Their Final
Presentation.
By Cable The Telegram.
Paris, Nov. 18 The American com-
naissioners are.devoting today as they
did yesterday to formulating their
next presentation to the Spanish com
missioners. V hue the Americans are
reticent as to their intentions it may
be said without reserve that the occa
sion is near upon which the exact
terms which will be" acceptable to the
Ajnerican commissioners will be laid
before the Spaniards with the time
limit for their acceptance.
As previously indicated, the Ameri
cans will n t involvethe United States
iu any obligation as creditors of
Spain in any shape or form. In other
words the Americans will not guaran
tee any Spanish bonds, even though
Spain may havemortgaged as security
for revenues the territory to be taken
by the United States.
We may now balance the ledger by
placing the loss of the Maine and the
cost of the war, including pensions,
tc , on one side, and on the other
Spain's equitiet in the Philippines. If
the di.ierence -is found in favor of
Spain this amouDtin cash may be of
fered hex by the American commiS'
sioners at the next joint session. This
balance may be about twenty millions
or less.
The Americans may require until
Tuesday to prepare their final .presen
tation.

CITY CHAT,
Josephus Daniels Talked Of For

LAW TO LIMIT NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
Washington Fellows Fixing Up Mat

ple Will See To It Later.
Special to The Telegram.
Washington, Nov. IS Although the
announcement that Governor Russell
may resign is generally discredited by
North Carolina people in Washing
ton, there are still manv who believe
that Governor will take that action
withln the next few months. Demo-
00? session will imneach Governor
i8 not improbable that the Governor
atnn Um-i.
ture b si th ffice d th
against him.
The person most prominently men
tioned for the governorship at present
is Charles B. Ayconk, who is said to
be a young attorney of strong ability
and suitable attainments. Among
others mentioned is Mayor Waddell,
of Wilmington, who lead the revolu
tion in the city against the corrupt
ring which was in the ascendency,
It is regarded as almost certain that
after the legislature assembles that a
law will be passed which will licrit
negro suffrage and the plan which
seems most to commend itself to North
Carolina democrats is that in opera
tion in Mississippi, which requires a
property and educational qualification
for the ballot. The South Carolina
law is patterned after that of Missis-
sipi with some alterations which were
inserted to make it stronger, but it is
said that the Mississippi plan has
worked the best, and some South Car
olina politicians are considering the
advisability of altering their own
election laws.
The seaatorship to succeed Butler is
attracting some attention, but as the
senator's term does not expire until
March 4, 1901, it is regarded as rather
too early to engage in speculations.
Hon. Josephus Daniels is mentioned,
but it is said that there are likely to
be a swarm of candidates for the sen
atorial seat when the time comes.
It is said in relation to the claims of
the different states against the the gov
ernment for the equipment of the
troops during the war with Spain that
the comptroller of the currency in go
ing over the reimbursements of the
different states has discovered a num
ber of errors which affects several
southern states. The comptroller is
now said to be considering whether or
not these errors in the reimbursements
can be charged against the claims of
the states against the government.
At the treasury department it is said
that the claims of North Carolina
against the government for money ex
pended in equipping the soldiers is so
mixed that it is doubtful if they can be
straightened out. It may be necessary
to refer some of the claims to congress
for adjustment.
The refugees from North and South
Carolina are not remaining inactive
while in Washington. The postoffice
department is crowded with these men
daily who go there to look after the
various federal positions in their
states. In South Carolina there are
nine postoffices to be filled within a
short time, and these men who have
been driven from the south are still
trying to influence the federal officials
to dispose of the appointments at their
bidding. One of the leaders from
South Carolina is said to be slated
for an appointment.

FOR GOOD WALKS.
Greensboro Should Fall Into Line
Quick as Possible.
While the city is growing business
houses and new dwellings almost innu
merable are going up and new citizens
are ceming in, and all this in spite of
the miserable condition of the streets
and sidewalks out from the principal
business streets we desire to call at
tention to the much faster rate of
speed we might attain in growth if we
had first-class streets and walks.
Walks are especially needed as we
have no street cars and in weather
like this it is almost impossible for
people living any distance out to get
down town for any purpose. Our at-
tention at this time is called to this
subject by the following note which
was received this morning:
"By the way, Mr. Editor, do you
happen to know what ever became of a
petition signed by hundreds of citizens
taxpayers , students and teachers at the
Normal College, that the walks on
Walker avenue, be made passable? Is
Greensboro too provincial a town to
have good walks? It seems that we
ought to prill into line with Raleigh,
Charlotte and Winston in the matter
of good sidewalks and streets. The
town is booming. Why not help in
stead of hindering it?"

Havana, Nov. 18 Last night at mid
