DR. ALDERMAN LAST NIOHT. Only Small Crowd Heard Him at The Coutt House. The attendance at the court house last night to hear president Alderman lecture on "Egypt and the Nile" was painfully small for an event of the kind. There were not over a hundred people present. It clearly demonstrates the fact that the court house is no fit place for such an exent. Twice the number would have him had the lec ture been in the Academy of Music. However, the small crowd was great ly delighted and highly entertained with the lecture and the lecturer. Dr. Alderman is always interesting and eloquent in his public addresses, and last night was no exception to the rule. His description of the land of Egypt and the river Nile, from a historical standpoint was augmented by a rich fund of personal knowledge gained during his recent trip abroad. The lecture was delivered for the benefit of the Greensboro Public Li brary fund, and it is a matter of re gret that so small a sum was realized. THE SOUTHERN'S NEW ENGINES. One of the Monsters Run Here From Spencer Yesterday. One of the large passenger engines recently ordered by the Southern has been completed and was fired up for the first time yesterday and run from Spencer to Greensboro and back on a trial trip. This is the largest passen ger engine ever run in the south and as the monster locomotive stood at the depot last night getting ready to run back to Spencer, it attracted a large crowd of spectators. The weight of the engine alone is 158,000 pounds, and the combined weight of the engine and tender is 218,000 pounds 109 tons. The driving wheels are 6 feet 2 inches high, with driving rods of proportion ate size. There is no larger passenger engine in the world. The locomotive was engineered on its trial trip by Travelling Road Fore man J. W. Kendall, of the Southern, assisted by a representative of the fac tory. The Southern will run three of these engines on the fast trains between Washington and Monroe. They will be fitted with electric headlights and electric lights in the cab and under the boiler. Plan of Choral Union. At the -closing of Woody Bros.' singing class the members organized themselves into a choral union, elect ing Dr. J. T. Johnson, president; Mr. Royal Farrar, secretary, and Mr. Chas. Burton, treasurer. I was asked to be musical director of the union, and though I make no especial claims to being a singing master, believing it to be a good move, I consented. Our idea is to have a permanent singing society to meet once a week during the school year. We .wish especially to get the support and interest of the members of the old choral society and of ' all the organists and choirs and Sunday School leaders in the city. We wish to appoint two or three pianists so that there will always be one pres ent. We will devote an hour toTregular chorus practice, the study of some oratorio or cantata. But in addition to this we will have an half hour, probably the first of the evening devoted to rudiments of music and sight singing. We want to de velop those who do not read music and do in the right way. Of course it will take a little money to run the thing and we have figured on 25c per month each for the ten school months in the year. The practice night and all other matters will be decided by vote of the society. We expect to get both pleasure and profit out of it, and ask you to join us. Next practice, to morrow night, Saturday at 7:30 o'clock at the music hall. Chas. J. Brockmann, director. A Pretty Sign. One of the handsomest signs that adorns a window in our city is that recently put on the large window of Mr. S. Schiffman's jewelry store. It is a work of art and is a credit to the workman, no less than to Mr. Schiff- man. The sign is in keeping with the stock of beautiful goods. Besides a larere stock of diamonds, watches and jewelry, Mr. Schiffman carries one of the largest and most beautiful lines of silverware to be fonnd in the city. A Unique Attraction. One of the most unique and attrac tive advertisements we have ever seen is the display made by Brown Bros. Co., of Winston. It is an arrange ment of pasteboard tobacco boxes printed in attractive colors, of their choice brands of plug tobacco and cig arettes; but what catches everybody is a revolving disk on which four pretty little educated mice play.

The Imparclal Charges The Crime to The United States. Madrid, Dec. 9 The Imparcial to day publishes another inflammatory article on the subject of the Maine charges. The paper intimates that the explosion was the outcome of an in tense desire "upon the part of certain factions in the United States to see the outbreak of war, which was un popular with the majority of Ameri cans." The Imparcial adds: 'The partisans of the war realized that something startling was necessary to arouse national sentiment it was a remarkable chance. Almost all the Maine's officers were on board an other ship at the time of the catastro phe. Those who charge the Spaniards with being capable of such a mon strous act are well capable of com mitting themselves." In conclusion the Imparcial says: "Spain cannot remain under such an infamous charge. It would be pre ferable to give the world the spectacle of' national suicide." Everything Lovely.

Convention. STATE MISSION BOARD'S REPORT A Baptist Catechism is to Be Pre paredRev. J. W. Carter, of Ral eigh, Asked to Do The Work. Greenville N. C., Dec. 9 Last night witnessed the gathering of the Baptist hosts of North Carolina in annual convention within a stone's throw of the spot where the convention was or ganized in 1830. This is the 68th an nual session of the body which has grown from a constituency of twenty thousand, with fourteen delegates, to nearly a hundred and fifty thousand, with two hundred delegates. On the name and memory of Martin Ross rests the record of the great work which the Baptists of North Carolina have done through this convention; for it was through his influence, perfecting his plans that the work was perma nently organized here in Greenville, in 1830. The beautiful and imposing church building in which the conven tion is now being held is a memorial of the great work of the denomination, built largely by the voluntary contri bution of Baptists all over the state. The convention has comprised 44 as sociations until this session, when the comirg in of the Western North Car olina Convention, with its 11 associa tions, will swell the number tc 55 as sociations, with 1,348 churches, besides the number brought in by the western convention. The convention held a great session today. After the religious exercises at 10 this morning, Rev. John E. White, secretary of the State Mission Board, read his annual report. The report included the report on Sunday schools, the work of the Woman's Central Com mittee and the report of the treasurer of the convention. It recited that the work during the year had been har monious and progressive. Enlarge ment of the work of the convention was recommended in the various de partments. One of the things adopted by the convention in its convention in 1830 was the employment of missionaries within the limits of the state, and in keeping with this the denomination has urged forward the various depart ments of the work through all these years, and latterly has given special attention to mission work in the state. The basis for the work of the state mission board this year was $15,000, and secretary White's report recom mended that the basis be raised to $20, 000 for Jihe coming year. The volunteer mission movement by the pastors in various pares of the state, was referred to at some length, showing pleasing results in the follow ing associations: Atlantic, Greenville, Chowan, Mecklenburg and Cabarrus, South Yadkin, South Fork, Raleigh and Tar River. Stress was laid on the work of co operation with the colored Baptists of this state assigned by the convention in 1895. This co-operative work has been in fluential in maintaining harmony between the races. The following significant paragraph is quoted from the report, touching this work:' "During the recent exciting politi cal campaign the colored convention passed a series of resolutions aimed and calculated to hinder agitation and excitement among the colored people, calling their attention from politics to religion." Under the report on Sunday schools reference was made to the fine devel opment along this line of work. Sun day school chatauquas having been held at Fair Bluff, Mars Hill, Little ton and Buie's Creek. This work has been under the management and di rection of Rev. B. W. Spilman, sac retary of the Sunday school board of the convention. The work of the Woman's Central Committee, with Miss Fannie E. S. Heck, of Raleigh was given prominence In the report. The sum of $6,929 25 was raised dur ing the year by this committee for mis sionary purposes. The report of Treasurer J. D. Bous hall showed that the convention had raised during the year for its various objects the sum of $324,389.40. After the report was read Dr. J. M. Frost.of Nashville, Tenn., addressed the con vention in the interest of the Sunday school board of the Southern Baptist convention. It was a masterful address and greatly stirred the convention. His reference to the book "The life of Dr. M. T. Yates," as prepared by president Taylor, of Wake Forest Col lege, and published by the Sunday school board, took deep hold upon the convention. One of the striking fea tures of the day was the reception of the deliirates from the Western North Carolina convention, coming after re solution of that convention. A. I Justice, A. B. Smith, W. M. Vines, and W. E. Wilkins were the delegates welcomed. They were presented by Rev. C. S. Cash well and welcomed by Dr. C. E. Taylor. At the afternoon session, under mis- wllnnnnn Vmfli nana. Rev. C. W. Sear-1 boro introduced a resolution that the Sunday school board of the southern baptist convention publish a catechism for Sunday schools. The resolution passed and Dr. J. W. Carter, of Ral eigh, was asked to prepare the cataeh ism. Tonight the special feature of the convention was the report of foreign missions. The report was read by Rev. G. W. Green, retired misssionary from Chi na. He spoke of the report, followed briefly by C. B. Justice, and then Dr. R. J. Willirigham, secretary of the foreign mission board, made a great s peach and swept the entire con vention. ( To Go to Manila. By Wire to Thb Telegram.

Special to Morning Post. Senator Quay's Trial. Philadelphia, Dec. 9 Counsel for Senator Quay in the conspiracy charg es for which he is to be tried next week, today subpoenaed ex-Common Pleas Judge James Gordon and ex Portmaster General John Wanamaker as witnesses for the defense. This news Is interesting in view of the known opposition of both of these men to Senator Quay politically, and in view of the charges recently made by Senator Penrose, in which he stated that the charges against Sena tor Quay were the result of a conspi racy to defeat him for re-election to the United States Senate, and in his place name a person favorable to Messrs.
