To the Citisens of Qreensboro: I beg leave to say to the citizens of Greensboro through this channel that it is the opinion of an expert who has visit -d over onehund'ed cases of small pox during the last twelvt months, that there is one case of small pox in the suburbs of the city on a back street. It is useless to try to hide a thing like this from the public, and it Is equally as useless to allow the dis ease to spread and impede the busi ness Interests of the city by a small pox scare. It is agreed on all hands, by experts competent to judge, that the disease can be effectually stamped out by prompt and vigorous action, such as a strict quarantine of the house and patients infected, the detention for a period of fourteen days of all who have been subject .to Infection and a thorough vaccination of all the inhab itants of the city. At a called meeting of the board of aldermen, held on the 12th day of March, 1899, steps were taken to em ploy all these means and crush out the disease in its very inception. The in fected house has been quarantined and a gu-ird placed over It both day and night, all persons who have been ex posed to this case will be placed under quarantine for fourteen days and an ordinance has been passed requiring all persons residing In the city, either permanently or temporarily, to be vaccinated on or before Thursday, March 16th, 1899, and prescribing a penalty of $20.00 for each day that any person shall refuse or neglect to be vaccinated after said date. One white physician will be found at the court house, uo stairs, between the hours of 9 a. m. 6 p. m., who will vac cinate all, white persons applying there for the nominal fee of twenty-five cents. A colored physician will be found in the city hall over the market house, between the hours of 9 a. m. and 6 p. m. continuously, who will vaccinate all - olored persons applying there for the same sum. Any person applying at either of these places who shall be unable, by reason of old age, sickness or Inability to work, to pay the prescribed fee will be vaccinated free of any charge. By strictly enforcing the provisions of the ordinance above referred to and carrying ont the provisions of the quarantine, however it may be at other places, It will be Impossible for Green boro to be effected In any way by a small pox scourge. Our city will then be practically immune, and I hereby earnestly urge all our citizens to aid In eve- y way in their power the author ities in t! e enforcement of this ordi nance. I lully realize what a vast sum of money it would cost our busi ness men of Greensboro should e be visited by a small pox scourge, or even a sos re-to say nothing of the suffering entailed and it is to prevent just such a thing that these steps have been taken, and the public fully en lightened. There can be no scare when it is known that there is but one case on a back street In the suberbs, that It has been quarantined, that all persons who have been exposed are being detained and that every Inhabi tant of this city has been vaccinated. Z. V. Taylor, Mayor. Notice to Teachers and Pupil. Prof. G. A. Grlmsley, Superintendent City Schools. Dear Sir Notice Is hereby given that all teachers and pupils of both races in Greensboro must furnish certificates of vaccination on or before March 16th, '99. These certificates must be issued by some regular prac ticing physician of Greensboro and must state that the subject has eitner been successfully vaccinated within the last two (2) years or within so recent a period that the vaccination has not yet had time to develop. Respectfully, A. E. Led better, Co. Supt. of Health. nllance with the above notice, parents are requested to have their children vaccinated at once by their family physicians. Arrangements will be made by which reputable physicians hiiildinca Will Do picacun a. rw - o- on Tuesday and Wednesday, to vacci nate all children whose parents so ue- slre.

By Cable To Thb Tslbobam. Manila, Mar. 13 General Wheaton attacked and captured the city of Pasig this afternoon. The ene-ny made a stand of aa hour; but at the nd of that time was forced to retreat. The Filipinos lost thirty HI led and sixteen were taken prisoners. Six Americans were wounded. The rebels were caught in a trap. On one side of the river they were shelled by a gunboat and a flying column pursuing them on the other side They were kept all the while In the open where the advancing column had easy range. In this way it was made imperative that the rebels retreat or be shot down. The advance was sounded at 6:30 this morning, the cavalry leading in a smart trot across the open to the right. Eventually reaching a clump commanding the rear of Guadaloupe the advance dpened a heavy fire. The response was feeble and desultory, apparently from a handful of rebels In every covert. While the right column was swinging toward the town of Pasig, the left advanced pouring vol leys into the bush. A small body of rebels made a determined stand at Guadaloupe church but were unable to withstand the assault. At 7:30 the gunboat started toward Pasig, first encountering the rebels in a junarle na- Guadaloupe. Steaming slowly she poured a terrific fire from her Gatling guns Into the brush for an hour. Meanwhile Scott's battery ashore was shelling the trenches, driv ing the enemy out. The artillery then advanced to the ridge to move a f-w of the enemy 's sharpshooters away 1th volleys from carbines. The artillery moved to the ridge command ing Pasig and Parteree. By this time the enemy was in full retreat all along the line. The firing was, discontinued temporarily In order to give the troops a rest before attacking Pasig. Whole Town On Fire. Bj Wire to Tbi Tilkrih. Wilmington, Del., March 13 -A re quest for fire engines was r ceived ear ly this m rning from Salisbury, Md., saying tl.e town was on tire.

Madame Lei a Elrado, the palmist; who has already been in our city 'for more than a week, has been very suc cessful since her stay here, in reading the lines of the hands of 'those who have consulted her and telling what the future will be. Many of her read ins in scores of places that she has visited have come true. Not only has this been the case in other places, but in Durham as well. As an H'ustration of the trueness of her readings, we can cite the case of where a 6m aU robbery was committed In this city, that was correctly and truly told so that the culprit was known. She has been vis ited by numbers of the very best citi zens of this and other cities, and has received much praise for the truthful ness and high character of her read ings. Sometimes persons go to her and want to know when they will die. This is something that she or no one else can tell. That lies with God entirely. Madame Elrado Always takes God into her work, and as is the case with every one who take- God into their work cannot help making a success. Madame Elrado will start .for the north on Monday weeky having been offered a splendid position in one of the most prominent summer resorts in one of the United . States Durham Sun Madame Lei a Elrado Is in the city and is stopping at the Planter's Hotel, where she will be only a few days. . To Knights of Pythias. The Telegram is asked to print the names of the following gentlemen and earnestly request them to be in their castle hall (Greensboro Lodge No. 80.

And cease to cry for far off moons Loving the things quite near. WheD wo praise with tender, true words And stifle our complaints, We may not have reached God's heaven But at least are nearer saints. Windsor Castle. On To Manila? Seventy six sailors in command of Lieut. John Hood and Lieutenant Commander R. A. Richmond came in on the Norfolk train Saturday night, traveling in two extra cars, and were transferred to the southbound vesti bule. They were from the Boston and XewYork navy yards and were en- route to San Francisco. Sailors from other places are being hurried to San Krancisco from which place they will probably go to Man' la to man the three Sp nish ships captured by Dewey on the first of May. A Suggestion. When the new depot of the Southern is oped there will be much traffic about it. This will necessitate durable ma terial for stieet building. We would suggest vitrified brick instead of mac adam. It will be cheaper in the long run as the macadam will require con stant attention. This brick pavement is in satisfactory use where heavy traffic is found. The railroad com pany and city can share the expense. Don't Miss It. "The South as Seen in Red Rock" will be the subject of the literary pro gram at the West Market street Ep- worth League tonight'.

Party Leaves Washington at Six Tbls Evening. . ARMY COMMISSIONS IN DEMAND. The President Does Not See One Third of the Callers Items Con cerning People and Things. Special to the Telegram. Washington, Mar. 13 President and Mrs. McKlnley, as the guests of Senator Hanrra, will leave for the south over the Atlantic Coast Line, Monday evening at six o'clock. Sen ator Hanna, who was at he white house Saturday said that he would keep the president with him at Thotr asville as long as possible; It Is thought for about ten days. Whether the president will carry out his con templated sea trip to Florida and Georgia waters will depend largely upon the future course of events. In addition to those who have already been mentioned who will accompany the party south Is Assistant Secretary Cortelyou. Private Secretary Porter will not go to Thorn as ville with the president, but in the absence of the Chief Executive will be in charge of state affairs at the white house. Callers at the white house since the adjournment of congress have been very numerous, greater in number, in In fact, than at any period since the days immediately following the presi dent's inauguration. Most of the sen ators and representatives who call at the mansion do so for the purpose of presenting the claims of constituents who desire to receive commissions in the regular army under the re-organization act. During tho past week the president has not been able to receive one-third of the number of visitors who crowd the ante-room of the white house, and has been obliged to confine himself to receiving only senators, representatives, and official callers. Mr. McKlnley is anxious to get away from Washington, and Senator Hanna says be will doubtless find it a great relief to gt away from the executive mansion for a week or so. Senator Tillman, of South Carolina who, together with Representative Laticrer, was Instrumental in getting up the congressional party now tour ing in the south will not go to Cuba with the other members. It Is under stjod that he left the party at Charles ton, and went at once to his home at EdgSeld. Lu ing the recess of con gress the se ator will be a frequent visitor to the national capital, as there are always matters of importance here requiring the attention of the senator. A prominent southerner in Wash ington is Col. Devereux Shields, of Natchez, Mississippi, who is stopping at the E' bitt House Col. Shields says that Governor McLaurin, of Missis sippi, has many friends, as well as enemies in the stat j, but thinks that he wll prove to be a formidablecai didate for the United States sen ator ship to succeed Senator Sullivan. Among other candidates according to Col. Shields will be Hon. John Allen, whom, he says, will be strong in the legisla ture. General Catching9 is also men tioned, bat Col. Shields does not think he will cut much figure in the coot st. Senator Sullivan may be a candidate both for the short and long terms, and many Mississtppians coming to Wash ington expect him to succeed himself. The senator has made a good record at Washington which will doubtless help him at home. Mr. and Mrs. James F. Oyster, of this city, who have been sojourning in Florida, Cuba, and Nassau for sev eral weks returned home Friday night. On their way north they stopp ed over for a few days at Asheville, N. C. Postofflce sites have been changed In North Carolina as follows: Amelia, Alleghany county, one half mile northwest; Apple Grove, Ashe county, one mile north; Bamboo, Watauga county, one-half mile east; Bessie, Jackson county, one-half mile south; Goodwill, Forsyth county, three-quarters of a mile northwest. Postmasters In North Carolina have been commissioned as follows: Jacob Blevins, Blevins, and Wm. T. Clark, Wolfsvllle. H. L. Stalen, wife and son, and H. W. Miller are at the Raleigh. The former .resides at Tarboro and the latter at Raleigh, N. C. To Muster Out Volunteers. By Wire to the Tblsobam.
