By fluslc Students of dreensboro Female College Last Nlht. A very select audience assembled in the chapel of Greensboro -Female Col lege last evening in response to a special invitation to hear the recital of the graduates in music. Th-perlormers were Misses Bertha Weathersbee, Elma Cole, Mary Gib son and Lucy Bowden, graduates, as sisted by Mr. Harry Cunningham, of this city. The first number on the program waa a selection from "Beethoven" by the four graduates. The rendi ion of this lumber occupied about forty-five minutes, during which time the eight hands kept together with remarkable accuracy, as perfect as a clock. When Mr. Cunningham appeared be was greeted with an enthusiastic ap plause. The vocal soloLonging" by Rubenstein, suited his beautiful voice perfectly and brought forth a lasting storm of applause from the college ladies. Miss Weathersbee played the first piano solo, 'Rhapsodic Hongroise No. 2," by Liszt. The most notice able characteristic of her playing was her remarkable execution. Her oblb ious absorpslon in the rendition of this masterpiece exhibited the char acteristic of a true musician a master of the art. Selections from "Brossins Nocturnes and Chopin's Ballades ' as played by Kiss Col , were full of sym pathy, pathos and gentle accent ex tremely gentle and wired like the echos of enchantment. Miss Mary Gibson's "Kamenoi Ostrow" by Rubenstein, reminded ore of a shadowy dream. The g n le weaving and twining and intertwining of the chord, min r chords and acci-d- nta'8, softly swayed the listeners' sympathy U and fro. Miss Bowden's selec ions from Grieg, Chatnlnade, Schyelte and Chopin were very pleasing to lovers of classic music. One of her most prominent characteristics, was her delicately spirited expression. Her soft swells were like the ebb and flow of the seatlde, intermingled with occasional. burU of rapture and bur pressed enthusiasm. The selections ware all clj s c nl were evidently chosen with a view to bringing out leading characteristics of each individual artifct. The tvcital showed great care in training, and refl cted much credit on Prof. Parker and the faculty. A MOST REMARKABLE CASE Death of a Prominent Stokes County Citizen of Mr. Joel F. Hill, a prominent and highly respected citizen of Stokes county, died a few days ago. He had reached an advanced age, and hd sf ent a life of great usefulness to his eounty, having been a representative In the General Assembly of North Carolina for several terms and held other positions of public trust. For some time preceding his dexth be bad been afflicted with a most rare and remarkable disease. Seating himself one day In a chair a' his residence, he adjusted his glasses and prepared to read a newspaper. H's memory was fair, he was in pos session of ail his faculties, and appar ently in the best of health. Opening the paper, some of the family were at tracted by an ej culation from him, when it was discovered that he was totally unable to read a line. He not only could not read, but the letters were strange characters to "bis eyes. His sight was good as usual, and his family were moved to send for a doc- tor. "The pnysician aignu:u u trouble as aphasia, or the obliteration from the mind of the faculty p rtaln- ing to letters. Mr. Hill never recovered the lost art to the day of his death.

SECRET DISPATCH RECEIVED At Washington, Which Is Withheld From Publication Provisions Sent The Prisoners. By Cable to Thi Tmjdgram. Manila, May 3 A conference last ing two hours was held today between G neral O-is and the envoys from Gen eral Luna, bearing upon the proposal of the rebel leader for a cessation of hostilities. Otis adhered to his former refusal to recognize tha so-called gov ernment of the Filipinos. The insur gents now ssk for a Iruce of three mourns, to enaoie Aguinaiao to sum mon a congress and consult with Fili pino leaders from other islands. The envoys admitted the contention of Otis that Aguinaldo bad little control of agalrs outside the island of Luzon. The question of the release of Spanish prisoners in the hands of the Filipinos b ing mentioned, Major-General Argu elles, the chief member of the deputa tion, said he considered them as being in the same category with the Ameri cans, the United States being the suc cessor to Spain's dominion over the isl nd9, and acquiring by treaty -all Spanish Hghts and obligations. After a close consultation with Otis, the i ilipino envoys had an audience with the United States Philippine com mission. LA WTO N RESUMES THE ADVANCE. Ma ila, May 3 Laton resumed the advance north today, m trchiDg from Balinag. Whteler's troop of the Fourth cavalry, while reconnoitering yesterday, encountered st Pulila a fcmall body of insurgents who failed to return the American fire, but raised a white flag. A parley followed, in which theFilipinosexplaincd that they had strict orders to stop fighting, pending the negotiations of the armis tice. They were given half an hour to get away. A SECRET DISPATCH. Washington, May 3 The war de partment has received ad vices from Otis publi ation of which is refused "It is significant," Adjutant-General Corbin said, . after reading the sup pressed dispatch, "and 1 have no reason to change my previous opinion that there will be a great deal of back ing before the insurgents will agree to our terms, which will end with their surrender." PROVISIONS SENT THE PRISONERS. Manila, May 3 Otis has sent a train load of provisions to the American prisoners held by the insurgents at San Isidore. The rebel commissioners have promised the food shall be dis tributed. They say money is n t necessary to be sent as, according to their statement, the prisoners are be ing well treated. HIGH-PRICED SERVICES. Dr. Ledbetter Hands in a Bill That Is a Corker. Tte retiring county physiotan, Dr. A. E- Ledbetter, who had charge of the recent vaccination business and smallpox scare in this city, has filed his bill but he didn't file it enough. He ;esterday placed in thebaxtds of Mayor Taylor a bill sgainst the city of Greensboro for 49 days services rendered, 12,450, which is $50 per day. This amount, we understand, is for services alone, and that an additional bill of anywhere from $800 to 11,000 will be brought in for guards, furnish ings, provisions, etc. This is pretty costly business, and if it stood any show of being paid, would raise a just cry of indignation from the taxpayers. That Dr. Ledbetter should be pa d a reasonable amount, no one will con trovert, but from the statement that the bill presented is outrageously ex orbitant no one will dissent. The d itor had, in a largo measure, won th sympathies of the community, and in:, ny peop'.e were grateful to him for d iog what he cor.oolved to be bis duty, but that feeling was not increas ed by his treatment of Dr.Broadn x's pinion and the climax thj charge he makes is capped by "for services i-i nJered." It would be in .order now for "one of the profession" who headed a sub scription list with five dollars to push his scheme and come to the city's re lief. At The Academy Tonight. The Shubert Glee Club, said to be one of the best amusement companies on the road, will appear at the acad emy ot music tonight and not Friday nlht as berptofore advertised. The company is made up of singers, violin ists, pianists, impersonators, etc , and is said to give a rplendid entertain ment.

THE HORRORS OF WAR. Graphical Picture by the Widow of R. L. Stevenson. London, M-ay 2 Robert Louis' Ste venson's widow has written a letter to the Westminster .Gazette from Funchal, MaderiaTxm the bombardment of Sa- moan villages by the English and American warships. Mrs. Stevenson J says: MPr:sldent McKlnley allowed no fir ing on Cuban towns unless they gave cause of offence, and Commodore Wat son was ordered not to attack unde fended Spanish cities. Does the pres ident keep his humanity for civilized countries alone?" Mrs. Stevenson declared that the Sa- moan villages are inhabited in time of war by non-combatants, who have to choose between the shells of the war ships and "taking to the bush." Un der such conditions, sho says, delicate women can hardly exist, while children die like files. Mrs. Stevenson's letter concludes as follows: "Chief Just-ce Chambers has been represented as saying in a letter to his brother; 'I never was happier.' He must be a person singularly devoid of Imagination if he ntver pictured to himself the scenes being enacted in those bombarded villages; the exodus of panic-stricken people rushing bitter and thither, shells bui sting every where, the cries of bed-ridden and helpless wounded people burning alive in their blazing; bouses, women in the pangs ot oblld-blrth, mangled hildren crawling' on the sands, the sea be 'ore them and the bush behind. And we read tlfat the woods also were shelled. Who is Xo held accountable for these deeds, that disgrace both Engl ind and America?'' Agulnaldo's Attitude. London May 2 Filipino represen tatives say they have received a mes sage from Agu'naldo, in which he says bis government has nothing to do with the present peace negotiations, which, he assert', are being conducted by men anxious for peace in expectation of gettin h?gh office under the new gov ernment. Several of these men, Agui naldo says, are members'bf the' Fili pino congress, where they are endeav oring to outvote him. He adds that under no circumstances will he accept an American protectorate. United In Death. S took ton, May 2-A tragedy which recalls the Freda Ward case in Geor gia, occurred here this morning when Mrs. Virginia Hassel, wife of a well to do English-man, killed her friend, Mrs. William Hackman, and then shot her self dead. The most plausible theory Is tb'at she did the deed for fear of be ing separated from h r frTend. Mrs. Hassel was separated from her hus band and Mrs. Hackman also bad do mtlc troubles.
