Symptoms
Of Detective Vision
3Many persons have thej idea that
defective vision manifests itself only
in a failure or inability to see clearly,
but inching, burnirg, smarting of the
lid?, dull pains in the eyes or head,
even the back of the head, all come
from irregularities in the optical con
struction of the eyes and may be en
lirtly relieved by correctly fitted
triages.

correct every case that he undertakes.

Qrand Musical Concert By the Brock
mann Orchestra.
At a meetiDg of the Brockmann Or
cnestra last night, it was decided to
give a concert on Thursday, the 13th
of April, at the Academy of Music.
The Orchestra has been practicing
for several weeks, and intends to give
the people of Greensboro some good
music not classical selections, but
music that will be appreciated by all
who hear it.
in addition to the orcnestral num
bers there will be two full choruses,
male quartette, and other numbers
which will add very largely to the en
joyment of the evening.
jneioiiowing gentlemen were ap
pointed at a business meeting a few
weeks ago as committees to look after
the different parts of the program:
Prof. Chas. J. Brockmann, director;
Z. V. Taylor, male quartette; M. S
Sherwood, arrangements: A. H. Alder
man, J. H. Wheeler, chorures.
Special numbers will be announced
later. Prof. Brockmann is doing his
best to make this a memorable occa
sion.
OAK RIDGE-CORNELL.
The Two Oood Teams On the Ola-
mond This Afternoon.
The Cornell baseball team arrived
here on the vestibule this morning,
twenty-two strong. The are being
coached by Hugh Jennings, Baltimores
famous short-stop, who will play with
Brooklyn this year. He will remain
with Cornell until the league season
opens, lhe Cornell team is said to be
in fine trim a ad the game this after
noon is expected to be exceptionally
line.
The Oak Ridge boys came down on
the A. & Y. train at noon accompa
nied by the Oak Ridge cornet band
and a number of students. Both teams
are stopping at the Benbow. Cornell
went to the grounds this morning and
practiced a short while and the two
teams practiced together a short while
'this afternoon until the game opened
at 3:30. It is a pity that the weather
is so disagreeable, preventing many of
those who would like to see the game,
from doing so.
STRAYED OR STOLEN.
Two Horses Not Found In Their
Stables This flomlng.
The Wakefield Hardware Company's
dray horse strayed or was stolen from
his stable back of the company's store
last night. One would think from the
appearance of the place, that the ani
mal was stolen. The staple was draw
from the door and the harness thrown
on the sta le floor. Chief of Police
Rees was notified and sent several
telegrams to authorities of different
towns near by asking them to look out
for the horse which is a brownish gray
color and large size.
Rufus Brown's horse was also miss
ing from his stable on West Wash
ington street this morning. Mr.
Brown thinks however that his has
only strayed as it was possible for the
aDimal to have gotten out.
Jail Jottings.
Will Hares, white, was drinking a
little too heavily last night and raised
a little disturbance in the vicinity ol
the court house. Chief Rees and Con
stable Scott marched him to the lock
up in short order.

M'ARTHUR HEARING MALOLOS
The Troops Are Vigorous And in
Prime Condition.
BIG FIGHT EXPECTEO TOMORROW
The Insurgents Have Retreated To
The flalolos Intrenchments.
Americans Closing In.
Bj Cable to Thi Telegram.
Manila, March 28 General McAr-
thur's division, after a short rest at
Marialo, advanced toward Malolos at
9:30 this morning. Its immediate ob
jective point is the town of Bocave,
five miles north of Marialao. The
troops are vigorous and in prime con
dition, and it is expected thatMcAr
thur will be infront of Malolos this af
ternoon. A heavy battle will probably
be begun early tomorrow morning.
All trenches have been swept clear of
8 ur gents, who have retreated to the
Malolos intrenchments, with the Amer
icans pressing lorward with resistless
vim close to their flying heels. Hale's
brigade is skirting the right flank of
the advance. Otis covers the left,
while Wheaton is hurrying up in the
centre. The American lines are so
compact that the country is scoured,
and the rebels are forced to keep
to the railroad in retreat. Agui-
naldo is at the head of the fleeing
army, but great efforts win be made
to capture him.
BRILLIANT CHARGE OF DAKOTANS.
Washington, March 28 The fo'- ,
lowing dispatch was received from
General Otis at 2:40 this morning:
"McArthur's division was severely en
gaged yesterday afternoon beyond
Marialao. The South Dakotans, led
by Drost, made a brilliant charge
against some of Aguinaldo's troops
brought from Malolos. The enemy
was driven back with considerable
slaughter. Four of our officers and
twenty-six enlisted men were wounded.
The loss on yesterday was confined
to this regiment. The partial des
truction of the railroad, which is now
being repaired, greatly impedes Mc
Arthur's progress. The supply rail
road trains have reached Marialap,
and McArthur's men are pushing on.
Our small gunboats did great execu
tion yesterday on the Bulacan river,
relieving the pressure upon McArthur's
front materially. Much of the country
north of Manila is In flames in conse
quence of the proclamation issued by
the rebel general, Chief Luna."
PRINCE LO WEN STEIN KILLED.
Washington, March 58 Otis cables
that Prince .Lowenstein, who was with
Wheaton's command, carried some re
freshments to the officers of the Second
Oregon upon the firing line. He was
cautioned of the danger, but advanced
with the line when the entrenchments
were charged, and was killed, and his
friend wounded. His remains were
delivered to friends in the city.
Adjutant General Corbin describes
Otis' campaign as admirable in every
way. The situation is perfectly satis
factory. Otis' statement that our gun
boats did great execution upon the
Bulacan river throws some light upon
the recent purchase of Spanish boats.
CAPTURE OF MALOLOS EXPECTED.
Washington, March 28 Gen. Corbin
said last night that he expected to hear
of the capture of the Malolos today.
The same spirit of expectation reigns
throughout the department today. All
hands are anxious to hear of the cap
ture of Aguinaldo.
THE LATEST.
Manila, March 28 McArthur's di
vision advanced nearly two miles this
. . i i
morning unopposed. Appruwumg
Bulacan the forces halted, prepara
tory to attacking it.

He Feels Aggrieved.
Mr. J. H. Ntwberry feels that an in
justice has been done him inasmuch
as it was published in this paper Sat
urday that he could not give bond in
the vaccination case. A reporter of
this paper got his information fiom
the officer who accompanied Mr. New
berry on his rounds to seenre the re
quired bonl and the fact that it was
not given was accepted as proof fhat
the news item was correct. It seems,
however, that Mr. Newberry did not
care to give bond or could not find his
friends, as it has developed that,
though he is a comparative stranger
here, he has friends who would have
readily stood for him.

NEW CITY DIRECTORY.
Greensboro Is to Have a New City
Directory.
Greensboro will have an opportunity
to have a first class city directory com
plete in every detail, if our business
and professional men will give the
proper patronage. Mr. Wm. M. Kersh,
manager of the Maloney Directory
Co., one of the largest directory pub
lishing concerns in the country, is
spending a few days in the city and if
he meets with sufficient encouragement
he will put in a force of trained men
at once and will get out a work for
thoroughness equal to that of the pub
lications of the larger cities. The
directories shown us by Mr. Kersh are
the most comprehensive and credita
ble we have ever seen and our business
men should give him such encourage
ment as to insure a similar publication
for Greensboro, as he will not get the
work out unless the patronage will
warrant a first class publication, for
his company would not get out any
other kind.
The Telegram will be glad of such
a publication for Greensboro and
trusts that the business community
will do its part.

LEGISLATION FOR CUBA,
Considerable Will Be Required Of
The fifty-Sixth Congress.
NO EXTRA SESSION IN SIGHT.
The President Enjoyed His Southern
Trip, And Will Visit Us Again
Before His Term is Out.
Special to Ths Telegram.
Washington, March 28 Several
Representatives who composed the
party of Senator Tillman and Repre
sentative Latimer, of South Carolina,
passed through Washington Sunday
and Monday on their way to their
various homes. The members seen
expressed pleasure over their visit to
the southern states, and paid their re
spects to the distinguished South Car
linians who were responsible for the
trip. Their visit to Florida was espe
cially delightful, this being the best
time of the whole year for a tour of
that state, and they only regretted that
they could not remain longer in the
state. It i believed that the visit to
the south wijl result in much good to
tbe section in matters of legislation
during the next congress. In regard
to the visit to Cuba, the representa
tives say that matters on the island
just now are very quiet, hut that con
siderable in the way of legislation for
Cuba will be required at the hands of
the fifty-sixth congress.
Whenever representatives and sena
tors are in Washington in very large
numbers talk naturally drifts to the
prospects of an extra session of con
gress. The opinion la general that
there will be no early meeting of the
two houses, unless the president calls
an extra session in October. This
would enable the two houses to organ
ize and get ready for active work of
the regular session in December. Most
congressmen, however, believe now
that congress will not reassem ble until
the first Monday in December.
Southern men in Washington in
speaking of the recent correspondence
between Col. Bryan and Hon. Perry
Belmont commrnl the letter of Mr.
Bryan, and say that in declining to
participate in a banquet, the majority
of the guests of which would have been
antl -democrats, like Col. Belmont,
that Mr. Bryan is perfectly justified,
and it shows the caliber of the man.
For an anti-silver organization to in
vite the silver leader to sit at a ban
quet and listen to gold speeches is
what most southern men cannot quite
understand.
People passing through Washington
enroute home from the south say that
the president's visit to Georgia and
Florida has been very pleasant, and
that while the southern people differ
from the president in politics, person
ally they honor and admire him for
his broad intellect and patriotic views
on public questions. It is said before
the expiration of his term President
MoKinley will take another southern
trip, and next time will go as far south
as Tampa, Florida. Virginia people
say that an effort will then be made to
get the president to visit Richmond,
Lynchburg, Roanoke, and other Vir
ginia cities enroute. Charleston, S.
C, people are also anxious to get the
president to attend the Confederate
reunion in that city next May.
People from Mississippi in this city
say that Representative Allen, while
popular in the state, is not looked
upon by the people there in quite the
same light as his admirers look upon
him in this section of the country.
Mr. Allen is conducting a vigorous
candidacy for the United States sen
ate, and is making one of his charac
teristic canvarses. Much doubt is ex
pressed, however, as to his ability to
break the alleged compact between
Senator Sullivan, and Governor Mc
Laurin, whereby McLaurin was to
succeed the former. Many Mississippi
people believe that in the event of a
long continued struggle in the legisla
ture, Sullivan will be elected to suc
ceed himself.
Representative Swanson, of Virgin
ia, is prominently mentioned as a can
didate for governor of the Old Do
minon. If he become a candidate he
will receive strong support in the
democratic convention from all sec
tions of the state.
