An interesting trial took place here
Saturday in which a fair damsel and
a gallant youth were the princi
pal actors. The young people have
been lovers for quite a while. The
father of the girl is a farmer and lives
a few miles from this place. He ob
jected to the young man paying atten
tion to his daughter and told him so,
but the wife ook sides with the young
man and invited him to come. This
he did. The husband then indicted
the young man for trespass. A war
rant was served on the youth and the
wife of the man who swore out the war
rant went on the young man's bond.
1 he main point argued at the trial
was that toe man did not have entire
possession of the place, as it was th9
property of his father-in-law, who
lived With him, and that it was agree
able for the young man to see the old
gentleman. The case was decided
against the prosecutor, it being main
tained that the wife and husband were
one and that she had equal right to
invite the young man to the place. An
appeal was taken to the superior
rourt.

Interesting Srvlce at the Churches
Yesterday.
Dr. Rowe preached at West Market
Street M. E. church in the morning
His text was taken from the 14th verse
of the 14th chapter of Job. "All the
days of my appointed time I will wait
until my change comes."
Rev. Mr. Holcomb, evangelist, oc
cupied Dr. Rowe's pulpit at the night
service.
A feature of the morning service
was the offeratory, which consisted of
an inspiring trio by Misses Carraway
and Wood and Mr. Crawford. They
sang Blessed Trinity, by Holden
The morning sermon at the First
Presbvterian church consisted of the
Sacrament of the Lord's Supper.
There was no sermon. At night Dr.
Smith preached his second sermon in
the series "The Creed of Christ." He
nre&ched from the eaxie text as last
i
Sunday night, a part of the second
verse of the 12th chapter of Hebrews.
'Looking off unto to Jesus, the Cap
tain and Perfector ol our iaitn, tnis
being his interpretation of the Sc-ip-
tural version "Looking unto Jesus the
Author and Finisher of our faith." The
importance of the subjict was urged in
the thought that creed makes charac
ter, what we believe that we are; there
fore we cannot have -Christ's ctrarac
ter unless we accept bis creed. The
topic of the sermon was: "What was
Christ's Chrlstoloev." that is, what
was his belief as to his own person
and nature? The sermon was in an
swer to this question, a portrayal of
Christ as a true, genuine, butcomplete
man, at the same time God full and
complete, the son of God and map, the
one mediates between God and man
After the sermon a quartette consist

He Wanted Democratic and Populist
Conventions Held at the Same
Time-Other. News.
Special to tb Telegram.
Washington, Feb. 26 Senator But
ler, who has just returned from the
meeting of the populist national com
mittee at Lincoln, Nebraska, is said
to be much disappointed at the result
of the democratic national committee
in determining to bold their conven
tion in July. He was hopeful that the
democratic convention might be held
at the same time as the populist con
vention, and that both conventions
might unite on the same candidate for
vice-president. He is still of the opin
ion that the democratic national con
vention will select the populist nomi
nee for vice-president. This opinion
of Senator Butler is not shared to any
large extent by North Carolina or
Virginia democrats coming to Wash
ington. The North Carolina demo
crats are particularly, if anything can
be judged from those coming to Wash
ington from time t- time, opposed to
the nomlratino by the democrats of a
populist or vice-president. They fa
vor the nomination of a straight dem
ocrat The democratic party in the
south has already suffered enough,
they say from the populists, whose
motto in the south seems to bn to
either ruin or ruin The North Caro
lina democrats lay much of the blame
of the present Russell regime in North
Carolina, upon the shoulders of the
populists, to wish to have any affilia
tions with them in political contests
such as the next presidential campaign
will be.
North Carolina and Virginia demo
crats look with much favor upon the
suggestion of Senator Daniel, of Vir
ginia for vice-president, and if the
senator does not interpose, th re will
likely be a decided sentiment in both
states, as well as in other southern
states for Bryan and Daniel in 1900.

Washington city was caught in a
small sized blizzard Saturday night.
At five o'clock great clouds rolled up
from the north west, and the wind be
gan blowing at the rate of about thirty
miles an hour. At six rain fell in tor
rents with the temperature standing
at fifty-two degrees. Poon thereafter
the temperature began to fall, and at
eight o'clock stood at thirty-four, only
two degrees above freezing, which
quckly charged the rain to a driving
snow Between eight and ten o'clock
the wicd blew almost a hurricane force,
doing some damage to trees, chimneys
etc The driring mow made it very
disagreeable to pedestrains, car driv
ers, and otners wno naa to be out or
doors. At 10 o'clock the ten perature
stood at twenty-five and still falling.
The scow continued to fall until after
midnight. At six o'clock Sunday
morning the thermometer registered
about, fifteen degrees. The weather
Sunday was fair and cold, but a high
wind made it anything but pleasant
for those who had to be out in It.

He Strongly Attacks the Bill to Pro
vide a Territorial Government for
the Islands of Hawaii.
Washington, Feb. 24 When the
senate convened today Mr. Hale, of
Maine, reported the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill and gave
notice that at an early date next week
he ould call the bill up for consider
ation. At the conclusion of routine busi
ness Mr Penrose, of Pennsylvania
called attention to the proceedings ye
ter day with reference to the t eating of
M. S. Quay of Pennsylvania, and said
that he did not desire to proceed with
fie case today. "I desire to notify
the senate, however," he said "trat
on Monday I will call up the resolu
tion, and if no member representing
the majority report of the elections
committee Is ready to speak the min
ority will proceed with the debate "
Consideration of the Hawaiian gov
ernment bill was resumed, the pending
question being on the amendment of
vlr. Piatt of Connecticut, providing
that the rreo'dn should appoint the
chltf justices "f the supreme court and
judgt of too circuit courts, and tha'
the governor of that territory should
appoint the officers, the amendment
limiting ihetenuroof cilice of &i p int
ers to four years.
In a Vr.hi ment hpeech Mr. Tilltr.an
of Sou ii Carolina attacked the bU a
reported to the senate, and in passing
made a personal arraignment of Sen
ator Morgan for allege d lack of cour
frsy. "The oligarchy which exists in Ha
waii." d glared Mr. Tillman, "and
this bill perpetuates, is powerful and
unscrupulous. It is an autocracy
greater thm ever existed outside of
Russia.
"I sympathise with the senator from
Connecticut in his eff rts to secure a
properly appointed judiciary for the
islands a judiciary not controlled by
tne ougarcny wnich now nas its grip
on the Is1 ends."
Referring to an incident which or
curred the other day, in which Mr.
Morgan, of Alabama, declined to
yield to Mr. Mr. Tillman to reply to a
statement made by Mr. Wolcott of
Colorad , concerning the suppressed
vote of South Carolina, Mr. Tillman
said:
medt I received from the senator (Mr.
Morgan). Never in my experience in
the senate have I been treated so dis
courteously by any member of the
senate."
Mr. Morgan endeavored to interrupt
Mr. Tillman, but the latter waved him
aside, saying: "I decline to yield to
the senator. He has put himself out
side the pale of courtesy and consider
ation so far as I am concerned." He
then explained the circumstances of
Mr. Morgan's refusal to permit him to
reply to Mr. Wolcott.
"When I arose to explain the situa
tion in South Carolina as it was pre
sented by the senator from Colorado,"
s a d Mr. Tillman, "the senator from
Alabama said; 'No, I cannot permit
you to speak now I'll leave you to
fight i. out some other time'.'
"It was the first time in my experi
ence that I had ever been refused a
hearing in like circumstances. No re
publican would have denied me the
privilege, because there is no man on
that side of the chamber so lacking in
courtesy and decency."

THINQS SAID BY THE WAY.
Town Boys Do Not Achieve
Greater Success in Life.
To the Editor of the Telegram:
In Saturday's issue appeared an ar
ticle "Obiter Dicta," which In my
opinion opens up a wide field for
thought. The writer states facts with
out much comment and shows his won
derful astuteness, when calling atten
tion to facts which found existence
right here in Greensaoro and then
leaving the reader to determine for
himself the causes leading up to them.
He states a fact which cannot be con
troverted "that nearly all the succtss-
ful business men were raised in the
country. Why is this invariably the
rule in all cities and towns. Are not
our towns boys bright and promising?
Are not their advantages far better
than the oountry boy? Are not many
of them son 4 of these successful men,
who came from the country V And why
should not these boys make useful and
successful men liite their country fath
ers?
These are the inquiries uppermost in
our minds, and wny not bring tne
facts out clearly and show the true
cause for the existing conditions.
Before I go into thj causes directly
attributable to the failure of our town
boys in business, I desire to say
a word in defence of town
mothers in general. I speak from
experience and l believe our suc
cessful country fathers and moth
ers will agree with ms when I say that
our town boys are better cared for, re
ceive more attention and have far
greater advantages than the country
boy. Our facilities for educating him
are better our churches are morenum
erous. The mothers have more time
todevot3to his moral and religious
training yet his life is a failure
Some of the brignest minds tnat ever
graced the halls of our state institu
tions of learning were reared in our
cities and towns some here in Greens
boro who wrecked their lives. Can
you lay the fault at tbeir parents door?
God forbid: Did not that devoted and
and loving mother mark his every
step until be aohieved greatness and
distinction at college? Then why
should her tender christian influences
be at fault in the further oourse of his
life? No, we must look elsewhere fo
the causes that lead to his failure in
life. No mother ever put a stumbling
block in the pathway of her boy. There
is not a mother in Greensboro who
ever voted or signed her name to a
license to sell liquor in an open bar
room. The barrooms of the past were
the machines of destruction that slew
our boys. This fact cannot be denied
They were places of great attraction
where General, Colonel and Major so
and so frequented and said na&ny
witty and smart things in their social
glasses. Our boy too, found many
admiring friends here, ever ready to
compliment him on his distinction at
college.
Then again, there is no harm in
social glass or a little game at cards
General and Colonel and Major So
and So are bier men around town and
they always take a drink when they
want it and su ely it is permissiable in
our boy. It is not long now before
our boy comes in late at night. The,

oort and on a rock pile if be has no
ib; here we have a congress of 400
nen to make laws and a supreme court
it nine men to set them aside; where
ood whiskey makes bad men and bad

wiere professors draw their convic--ions
and salaries from the same
source; wnere preachers are paid
from $1,000 to io,000 a year to dodge
Satan and tickle tne ears of the weal

Where business consists in getting
property in any way that will not land
you in the penitentiary ; where trusts
hold you up and poverty holds you
down; where men vote for what they
qo not want for fear they will get what
they want by voting for it; where wo
men wear false hair and men dock
their horses' tails; where men vote for

the other 3t4 days in ths year; where
we have prayers on the floor of the
ational capital and whiskey in the
basement; where we spend a,000 to
bury a congressman and 810 to put a
man away wnen he is poor; where the
government pays the army officer's
widow $5,000 and the poor private who
faceu the shell $144, with insinuations
that he is a government pauper and a
burden because he lives.
Where to be virtuous ia to be lone
some, and to be honest is to be a
crank; where we sit on the safety-valve
of conscience and pull wide open the
throttle of energy; where gold is wor
shipped and God is used as a waste-
basket for our better thoughts and
good resolutions; where we pay $15
for a dog and 15 cents a dozen to a
poor woman for making shirts; where
we teach the untutored Indian the way
to eternal life and kill him with bad
booze; where we pijt a man in prison
for stealing a loaf of bread and - in
congress for stealing' at bank or a

walk in broad dayligh, justice is

A Fair Sight.
Our ancestors were not
blind to the Beautiful, but a
a great many in this age are
almost so through defective
vision.
Want of properly adjusted
glasses, and abuse by neglect,
waitng too long before using
glasses, is the cause of much
of this trouble. Don't you
think saving your sight will
be a paying investment? We
adjust glasses that enable you
to see with pleasure. Our
work is guaranteed.
