Alderman ipjj) zn a MATTERS TAK1NQ SHAPE. he Mass Meetlnjr Tournament and Industrial Exhibit. While the mass meeting at the court house last night might have been at tended by a larger number of people, it was a representative gathering the workers were there. The firemen were out Ln force, and there was much earn estness and enthusiasm displayed Chairman J. Van Lindley called the meeting to order and the secretary an nouooed a partial list of committees, others to be appointed later, when the full lists will be published. Mr. J. J. Stono then an sou need that it was highly important that the fin ances be secured and that Capt. J D. McNeill being present he might' be able to give some points about the best mode of procedure. Capt. McNeill who was then introduced by Mayor Tayli-t is a favorite with the firemen, being president of the State Firemen's As sociation. As he rose he was greeted by a storm of applause. He said was a time ior work, lie gave some practical suggestions, and h stalk was greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Remarks were made by Judge By num, Chairman Lindley, Mayor Tay lor, C.G. Wright, A. W. McAlister and H. C. Berger, all of which was t'mely- and to the point. Messrs.

The industrial feature where Greensboro expects to derive the lasting benefit from the occasion Reports from the finance committee were very enco raging. Four out of the six wards in the city were heard from and $1.46'J is the result of the work so far in those four wards. The work is not done yet, and tho commit tee was instructed to push forward. So far the outlook is gratifying and success Is assured. A vote of thanics, on motion of Mr. Berger, was tendered Capt. McNeill for his presence and interest in our gala week occasion. Capt. McNeill re sponded gracefully and said he ap predated the vote, but that he did not feel that be needed thanking for any thing he could do for the firemen of North Carolina. The meeting adjourned to meet a;ain on Tbnrsday night, June 1st. SOnE NICE, QUICK WORK. Stolen Bicycle Recovered Within Fifteen illnutes. Chief of Police Scott executed some quick work this morning.

Love Their Schools. Dr. Charles D. Mclver returned this morning from Winston, where he de livered the annual address before the Winston graded schools at their close last night. There were 28 girls and 10 boys in the graduating class. Dr. Mclver is impressed with the manner in which Winston people regard their schools.

PRITCHARD IS WORKING HARD. With His Republican Henchmen to Prevent The Democrats Being Qiven Any of Them. Special to the Telegram. , Wafhington, May 19 Senators De boe and Lindsay and a large number of Kentucky a ns have been in Wash ington for several days, for the pur pose of arranging for the appoint ments- of supervisors in that state. Senator Duboe and the republican del egatlon oppose Senator Lindsay's scheme for a division of the appoint ments, and they will remain here, as announced the other day, until the re turn of President McKinley. While here several conferences have been held between Deboe and Lindsay but without result. Lindsay claims that he is entitled to one half of the ap pointmente, but this cont ntion is dis puted by the republicans, who want all of the supervisors. Senator Deboe says that he is willing that Senator Lindsay should have appointment of supervisor In his own district, but fur ther than this he will not yield. Both renators have, it is said, broken off the conferences and will preser t full lists of supervisors and let the matter rest with Director Merriam. The di rector of the census, it is announced, will not take any further steps in the matter of the- Kentucky appointments until the return of the president from Hot Springs. When the president re turns, probably early next week, Sen ator Deboe and likely Senator Lind say also, will arrange for a conference at the white house. It was stated at t'e census office Thursday morning that no further ac tion has been taken in the matter of the North Carolina appointments. Director Merriam seems disposed to divide the appointments in both North Carolina and Kentucky, but as in the oase of the latter state, the republicans headed by Senator Pritchard, are working hard to prevent the democrats in North Carolina being given any appointments. Congressman Stokes, of South Car olina, it is said during the next ses sion of congress will again push his scheme for the extension of the system of rural free delivery along star routes which matter he was prominently en gaged In pushing during the last ses sion. The congressman will be in a much better position to push this mat ter at the next session than he was during the Bhott session of congress, when both the house and senate were pressed for time. Moreover "there is n the post office department among the officials a desire for some sort of leg- station as proposed by Mr. Stokes. Among southern congressmen espe cially from 6tates where there is a arge rural population, it is believed that a system of a rural free delivery along star routes can be maintained by the postoffice at a minimum cost, and which would prove beneficial to farmers and others living along the routes and at a distance from the post offices. Representative Ball, of Texas, was n the city Thursday, being here on busines connected with the depart ments. Mr. Ball says that Mr. Bailey will be re-elected by the democrats during the next session as floor leader There is, he says, in Texas qui!te a feeling that he may be elected United States senator to succeed Senator Chilton. Congressman Ball thinks that the political outlook In the west this year s bright. He says the democratic party is stronger .today than ever in Texas and other states in the south west. The policy the administration s adopting In the Philippines, he thinks will be beneficial to the demo cracy in the national campaign next year. It is said that the committee appoint ed to select a site for the new post- office building at Winston, Salem, North Carolina, has been unable to agree on the location. The matter will be decided by Postoffice Inspector Crane, who is now in the state, upon his return to Washington. Congressman Jones has gone to Richmond for the purpose of consult- ng with democratic leaders about the plans for tbe campaign to nominate senators by popular ballot. It is thought here by democratic politicians that the Virginia state democratic committee will refuse to call a convention as requested by the Richmond conference, On the 2nd of June the papers in the contested election cases of Walker against hea, and of Wise against Young, will be opened by the clerk, of the house of representatives in the presence of the contestants, and con- testees, and consul. Suoh of the testi mony as is deemed proper, and of suf ficient Importance will be printed. Last night Colonel William H.
