The general assembly of North Car olina, for 1899, ended yesterday at high noon, according to the clocks in the senate and house. In truth, however, it was exactly 2:08 o'clock, standard time, when the gavel fell for the last time, for the time pieces were often tampered with before the two houses were declared adjourned for the session. The hands of the clock in the house were first turned back half an hour at 10:15. At 10 o'clock another set back overtook them, and then when they had crept up to 11:45 the clock was stopped not to be started again till the work of the day was completed. At 2:02 o'clock the last law the Stevens anti-trust bill was 'ratified, the business of the-session was de clared at an end, Speaker Connor de livered his farewell address and the general assembly of 1899 passed into history; and its record went to the peo ple of North Carolina to make up their verdict. It was a queer sight this adjourn ment. One that must be historic, for in it the house and senate strangely swapped places. The senate lost its dignity or forgot it and the house, usually so abounding in incident and sensation, somehow found it. With burst of patriotic soig, in which sena tors on the floor and spectators in the gallery joined, the upper branch of the gen ral assembly came to its end. A sort of dying swan's song to be sure, in which lusty, high-pitched voices took th place o! softer note1. Finally, to remedy this defect, the ladies in the gallery were invited upon the floor to join in the music-making, an invitation they gladly accepted and soon the fretted columns and curv ing dome of the old capital rang with sweeter tones than have been heard there in many a day, if indeed ever before. Hence I say it was an historic scene one such as has not been witnessed there before within the recollection of the oldest member. In the house there was quite a differ ent scene. Having been in almost con tinuous session for two solid weeks.the members were utterly fagged out and the closing duties were perfunctorily performed. With tne end of the ter rible strain had come a loss of spirit, almost a collapse. Notwithstanding the joy of home-going there were faces pale from exhaustion and loss of sleep and line-marked features made to by nervous strain and anxious thought. Finally, wondering at the strange burner, the senate in a body, accom panied by the ladies that had been j fining it in song and merry-making, came into the house and tried to ' joll ' it ;nto life aad enthusiasm. Somehow it did uot succeed, and ten minutes after it had retired, both houses ad journed to meet again on Tuesday after the second Monday In June 1900. The galleries of both houses were well filled with spectators - principally ladies to witness the final session of a legislature that must be memorable n the annals of the state. And noth ng had been further from their thoughts, when they came, than being called on to take part in these closing scenes. News and Observer. Perfection In Spring Shoes.

The academy of music was crowded last night to hear Gen. John B. Gordon, the distinguished Qeorgian, deliver his famous lecture "The Last Days of the Confederacy. 'I A number who were present had beard the lecture before but they listened nc -less Intent ly last night, for the lecture abounds in marvelous incident and beautiful sentiment. On the stage, seated to the right and left and in the rear of the speaker were a number of Confederate veterans, to whom he would torn oc casionally and familiarly address them as "boys." General Gordon was introduced by Col. J. T. Morehead ( In short but eminently fitting remarks. The great Georgian, who was a distinguished commander in the civil wftr, is a man whose locks are now white from length of years, but whose form is yet erect, with a military bearing that at once attracts tne eye and elicits admiration. His discriptlve powers are unsurpassed and when he rises to a flight of oratory in describing a hot contest his eyes flash and sparkle as if he saw over again the flashing sword and gleaming bayonet. "The Last-Days of the Confederacy" is a th?me that will live and be en joyed as long as there is a single brave man living who wore either the gray or the blue, for the sold'ers of the Union and Confederate armies are p'aced beyond and above the old idea of 'Combatting foes, upon the high plane of the grand and glorious Amer ican citizen In closing General Gordon grew grandly eloquent in com mending the Stars and Stripes to the people of all sections. GODFREY IN WASHINGTON. A Friendly Audience and a 'Splendid Program. The Washington Times of yesterday says: "A distinctly friendly audience one so friendly that when both were ren dered it greeted our own "The Star Spangled Banner" with 6ilence that it might compliment its visitors the bet ter by cheering "God Save the Queen" gathered at the Colnmbia yesterday to welcome Lieut. Dan Godfrey and the British Guards Band. Besides being kindly disposed, this assemby was large and fashionable and might have proven critical had there' been any need for criticism. Director San telmann occupied a stage box and his organization two rows of orchestra chairs out of compliment to the for eigners, for whose skilled work they manifested musicianly regard. "The band o which Lieutenant God frey is leader numbers about forty men, all of whom are clad in handsome uniforme and who are most preposses sing in appearance. It was last heard n this country in 1872, when, under the title of the Grenadier Guards, it formed a feature of the Boston peace jubilee arranged by Pat Gilmore. Many of those in the house last eve ning had attended that festival and did not seem to think the combination had deteriorated since its memorable conquest then." The Times then goes on to elaborate and particularize as to the program rendered, giving it the highest encom iums of praise. This famous band of musicians will appear before a Greens boro audience in the G F. College chapel tonight. Change of Management. We learned too late for publication yesterday that W. J.

PLANS FOR SOUTHERN TRIP The President Is Going to Take a Vacation. WILL PASS THROUGH GREENSBORO He Is Fond of Water and May Take a Boat Ride While Off Wash ington City Gossip. Special to Ths Tbt.bg bam. Washington, Mar. 9 Plans for the president's southern trip are being gradually mapped out. It is expected that the party will leave Washington over the Southern railroad, about the 15th, going direct to Thomasville, Ga. the home of Senator Hanna. Only such stops as are absolutely necessary will be made, including one of fifteen minutes, or so, at Charlotte, N. At the white house Wednesday after noon it was stated that it is not im probable that the president will extend his trip and that it will be more exten sive than was at first contemplated The president is very fond of the water and if he can spare the time from Washington is considering the advis ability of taking a sea trip, touching at various points in Georgia and Flor ida. If he concludes to take this trip he will probably go to Jacksonville, taking a government vessel from Sa vannah, a'ter remaining at Thomas ville for a fortnight. He may go as far south as Miami, but this is not yet definitely decided upon. The presiden tial party for reasons which are well known will not carry out his desire to visit Cuba during the present spring. The presidential party ill consist of President and Mrs. McKlnley, Vice President and Mrs. Hobart, Senator and Mrs. Hanna, and some of the cab inet, and perhaps ex-Secretary Bliss. Dr. Carey, of Carribou, Maine, was in the city yesterday enroute home, Lfrom Raleigh, N C, with the remains of his wife, who died at Raleigh sev eral weeks ago. Mrs. Carey had been in poor health for quite a long time, suffering from bronchial trouble, and went south in the hopes that a change in the climate might benefit her. Dr. Carey is a son of Hon. Sheppard Carey who was a member of congress from Maine in anti-bellum days. Much rood is expected from the visit of the congressional party to the south. The idea of such a trip originated with Senator Tillman and Representative Latimer, of South Car olina, and the principal object in view is to enable the members from the states composing the party to become personally familiar w:th the southern section of the country, and its needs in the way of congressional legisla tion. The efforts of the South Caro lina delegation has been heartily sec onded by other southern states of the union and before the party left Wash ington they received many invitations from different southern cities which desired to entertain and honor the dis tinguished stat -smen. Mr. John Addison Porter, private secretary to the president, returned to Washington Wednesday morning from an extended trip to Florida. While away he took occasion to visit Nassau where he met several Washington peo ple. Among others whom Secretary Porter met at Nassau were former dis trict Commissioner Truesdell, and Mr. and Mrs. James F. Oyster. The Sec retary feels much benefitted by his va cation, and will resume his duties at ence. Senator McMillan, of Michigan, will leave Washington for a visit to Geor gia and Florida next week, going as far south as St. Augustine. The trip is to be taken for the purpose of en abling the Senator to obtain rest from his labors during the last session of congress. Senator McMillan will spend a large portion of the recess at Washington, keeping his home here open during the summer, according to his usual custom. After his visit south he will spend several weeks at his home. Much interest was felt in the wedding of Mr. Howard N. Thompson and Mies D res sell, which occurreed Tuesday at Asheville, North Carolina. Mr. Thompson is a well known Washing ton newspaper man, having been the representative of the Associated Press correspondence during the Spanish war. Postoffice has been established at Burnthill, Ashe county, North Caro lina., Fannie A. Shepherd has been commissioned postmaster. Mr. C. J. Harris, of Dillsboro, North Carolina, a prominent resident of the state, is at the Shoreham hotel for a few days. Mr. J. L. Phillips, of Charlotte, N. C, is registered at the St. James hotel.
