went to Lexington last night, after
spending two weeks here with her sister
Mrs. North.

U ENTERTAINflENT.
To be Given at The State Normal To
morrow Night.
On Friday night, February 10th the
students of The State Normal and In
dustrial College will give an enter
tainment complimentary to the legisla
tive committee. One of the chief ob
jects of- this entertainment is to give
the friends of the College in Greens
boro an opportunity of meetingsocial
ly for a few minutes, the members of
the legislative committee. There will,
therefore, be no charge for admission
to the entertainment, -and the general
public wjll be welcomed.
The doors will not be open until 7
45 and the entertainment will begin at
8:15. Charles D. Mclver, President.
What an Ad Did.
The Telegramthis afternoon received
orders from the C. W. Jennings Fruit
Co. to leave their-advertising space
blank until further notice. This is
done because the company already has
more orders than it can possibly fill,
though they have just received a large
shipment of bananas, oranges and
other tropical fruits. Mr. Jennings
says the rush is the direct result of his
ad in this -paper, very few of the or
ders being from old customers. They
contracted for space only a few days
ago and the rush came unexpectedly.
Hereafter they will be prepared for
any number of orders and fill them
promptly.
Having a Big Time.
J. F. Jordan, who accompanied the
party of fox hunters to Manchester,
returned home yesterday afternoon.
He brought with him a good sized fox
which was caught after a lively chase.
He 6ays the hunters are having a fine
time. Mr. Hudson, one of the party,
ordered some oysters and crackers to
be sent him today. This fact will no
doubt lend to the desire of the rest of
our Reynard chasers to take part in
the festivities.
Attempt Burglary.
A futle attempt to breaks into Vun-
cannon & Co's. store, on South Elm
street, was made last night. The
would-be burglars only succeeded in
breaking the foot-latch off the front
door, evidently using a chisel to do
the work. This was very little head
way, as Mr. Vunconnon has three
heavy locks on the door, which is fur
ther strengthened by heavy bars.
With Parental Consent.
Mr. Luther Morefield and Miss An
nie Hood, who came here yesterday
from Danville, were married at 10
'clock last night at the residence of
Rev. L. Johnson who officiated. The
parental consent was received on the
vening mail and Mr. Kirkman issued
the license forthwith. The Telegram
ex
tends congratulations

That sees and seizes your opportun
ity, will make you comfortable, and,
perhaps, rich.
One great chance now awaits your
good judgement at our store, Man-
neletts, outings, Worsteds and heavy

room for spring goods. Any style,

It appears that Dunn, alias Link,
though an amateur forger, did not do
his first work in this line in Greens
boro and High Point. A short while
before his trouble here he passed a
check, purporting to be signed by J.
C. Davis, on J. G. Shelton, a clothier
of Statesville. He purchased a suit of
clothes and received the balance of a
60 check, in cash. Mr. Shelton was
here today and identified Dunn as the
man who "done" him credit.
Coming Tomorrow.
The committee from the legislature
will arrive here tomorrow evening
to spend Saturday inspecting the
State Normal and Industrial College.
They will spend tomorrow in Chapel
Hill inspecting the University.

MR. KREHB1EL IN N. Y. TRIBUNE
Splendid Commendations From
Notable Authority.
What the Musical Courier of Novem
ber 23rd, 1898, says of Mr. Krehbiel
"Mr. Krehbiel's ability as an analy
tical writer on music is so unques
tioned, his general scholarship so ripe
and accurate, his 'acquaintance with
musicians and audiences so -intimate
his experience as a concert-goer so
long, that no one Is better" qualified
than he is to tell people how to listen
to music."
What Mr. Krehbiel, musical critic of
the York Tribune, says of God
frey's Bard:
"Lieutenant Dan Godfrey was most
heart'ly welcomed to New York last
night
"The enthusiasm which greeted God
frey and his men when they made their
bow with the national airsof the United
States and Great Britain, grew with
each number, and spoke defiance to the
heart.
"The band is an excellent military
organization, fine and sonorous in
tone, accurate and elastic in utter
ance.
"It is really admirable, much of its
excellence being due to the skill of the
men who handle the principal solo in
struments. It is seldom that the public
is privileged to hear such honest,
straightforward, unaffected, complete
ly musical cornet-playing, as Mr.
Kettlewell put to his credit last night,
whilst Lieutenant'Godfrey's familiar
ity with the tastes of the American
public seems to be complete and much
pleasure can be counted upon from his
visit." New York Tribune, July 4th,
1898.
The above, one of the grandest and
best musical organizations that ever
toured the United States, will appear
in the chapel of the Greensboro Fe
male College at night March 9th.

By
New York, Feb. 9 The firemen had
desperate time subduing the fire-that
destroyed a block at Moore and White
head streets, which caused a loss of
half a million dollars. Hydrants
were frozen and the sidewalks and lad

started in the Walter Bull bag fac
tory. A hundred and fifty girls em
ployed there rushed to the street in a
panic. Hartman's saloon and the
Eastern hotel were burned. Four
other firms were' burnt out.
THE CONGRESSIONAL MILL
Has
a Large Qrist of Public
Building Bills.
PRITGHARD ASKS FOR 83,500.000
For Improvement of The Harbor of
Refuge at Cape Lookout No
Change In Ewart's Case.
Special to Thi Telegram.
Washington,'kFeb.9 Senator Pritch
ard, of North Carolina, has intro
duced an amendment which he hopes
to have added by the senate
to the river and harbor appropriation
bill which is now pending before the
senate committee on commerce. The
amendment of Senator Pritchard pro
poses to appropriate $200,000 for the
improvement of the harbor of refuge
at Cape Lookout, North Carolina, and
further authorizes the secretary of
war to enter into contracts for mate
rial and labor for the completion of
said project, as appropriations may
be made from time to time, not to ex
ceed the sum of three million, five
hundred thousand dollars. The sen
ator will, it is said, be given an op
portunity by the committee on com
merce to urge the improvement de
sired, which is very important to
North Carolina.
The committee on commerce resumed
its consideration of the river and har
bor bill yesterday morning, holding a
session from 10 o'clock in the morning
until twelve o'clock and then took a
recess until two o'clock, remaining in
session during the afternoon for some
time. During the day many senators
appeared before the committee to urge
additional items in which they are in
terested. So far as could be learned
neither of the North Carolina sena
tors have yet appeared before the sen
ate committee, but as stated it is ex
pected that Senator Pritchard will be
given a hearing, if he desires it The
hearings will close with the adjourn
ment of the committee this evening,
and the work hereafter will be directed
towards perfecting the bill. The house
bill will be adopted by the committee
as the basis, and amendments which
the committee desires to incorporate
will be added. The members of the
committee say that the bill should be
reported to the senate during the next
weeek, and they hope that the senate
will take it up and dispose of it
promptly.
The North Carolina delegation in
coagress are hopeful that the bills re
ported from the committee on public
buildings and grounds to provide for
public buildings at Elizabeth City,
Durham, and Winston, may be passeo
by the house. The bills have been re
ported favorably from the committee
of the whole, and will probably go
through with the remainder of the
bills reported. The fate of these bills
in the senate is doubtful. There are
a large number of public building
bills involved, effecting, it was stated
by Mr. Mercer, of Nebraska, chair
man of the house committee, thirty
eight states of the Union. If the time
of the session remaining were not so
short, there is no doubt but the senate
would pass the bills promptly, but
with adjournment so close at hand,
only twenty-five days, and the rush of
bills coming over fnom the house dai
ly becoming larger, there is much
doubt felt as to whether the senate
will act upon vcy many bills of this
character.
There are no new developments in
the case of Jdge Ewart. It was ex
pected that Senator Hoar, in execu
tive session would call the case up last
night. Senator Butler was seen yes
terday afternoon, but had nothing
new upon the subject to give out.
Judge Ewart's friends say that he will
be confirmed whenever his opponents
consent to a vote being taken.
C. J. Harris, a well known citizen
of Asheville, is at the Metropolitan
Hytel. Mr. Harris will be in Wash
ington for some days.
L. C. Watson, of Lenoir, North
Carolina, was at the National Hotel

SIDE TRACKED.
As Seen By an Apt Critic In Atlanta
Last Week.
j.ne capacity oi tne grand opera
house w"as taxed to its utmost last
night, hundreds of people being una
ble to gain admittance. The 'attrac
tion' was the ever popular comedy
Side Tracked, which, like good wine,
grows better with each succeeding
season. The reception given the com
pany was an ovation, each of the old
favorites receiving a hearty recogni
tion. Mr. E. H O'Conor, with his in
imitable characterization of the funny
tramp, in&talled himself more firmly
than ever in the hearts of his audi
tors, his work with the vivacious sou
brette, Miss Gertrude Barnes, Teing
particularly pleasing. She is one of
the brightest little women on the
stage. Billy Bowers, as Fritz Grab
holt, gave an artistic representation
of the guileless German and divided
honors with Mr. W. Healy, the police
man, in a very clever specialty. There
are many new features in the perform
ance this eeason and each in turn re
ceived merited recognition in the way
of applause and encores galore. All
the specialties were original and
strictly up-to-date. There was not a
bad feature or mediocre number in
the whole performance. Miss Cecile
Lorraine rendered a very fine opera
tic selection, "I love you so," and
responded to a hearty encore in a
way which proves her a talented vo
calist in addition to her dramatic
ability. A patriotic trio in the pic
turesque national colors of the United
States, Great Britain and Cuba, re
ceived the hearty approbation of the
audience. In fact the entire company
gave evidence that they can sing as
well as act, and kept their auditors in
a constant good humor through a very
enjoyable evening. Side Tracked is
constructed to amuse, and if anyone
wishes to see pretty girls, fine cos
tumes and hear bright, original music
well sung, and comedy that is funny,
see Side Tracked.
