Forceful Presentation Last Nigh of the Association Work Among the Employees of Railroads. It is seldom one has the opportuni ty of looking upon a finer set of young men than is now gathered in this city from different parts of, the state to engage in discussions for the furtherance of the great work of the Young Men's Christian Association. The sessions of the state convention are all helpful, encouraging, inspir ing. LAST NIGHT'S MEETINQ. The meeting last night opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. F. H. Wood, and the report of the state's work by Geo. B. Hamner, and Treasurer W. C. Dowd was read. The association among -railroad men was taken up and Mr. Bard be gan his address by reminding the au dience that while they were assembled and while they slept that night thous ands of railroad men would be at work. Thousands of lives and mil lions of doll a-s worth of property were in thair control. He then requested that every one for a fow momenta en gage in silent prayer for this army of men. H O. Williams, general secre tary for railroad men, closed with a short prayer. Mr. Bard tben spoke of how this in fant branch of the Y. M. C. A. had grown to be a mighty factor in the or ganization. He contrasted the incon veniences experienced by the engineers, and the comforts of the passengers. If any one class of men need to be Christians it is the railroad men, for their life is a life of implicit faith This is the reason why when a railroad mn is once converted he-becomes such an enthusiastic worker, it matters not how splendid may be the equip ment of a railroad if tbe men fail or b'under in any way. We may readily see the importance that they should be trustworthy men when we know that ten times the population of the United States travel over the ra'lroads every year i t ere are two classes or rail road men. One who are always under tbe eye of a superior officer, the others the train treu, who are their own mas ters to a great extent. This remarka ble statement was made by a railroad manager in Ohio. He said: "Before theY. M C. A. was established we could n; t tell after the train left Cin cinnati when it would pull into the union depot at New York. True, we knew when it was scheduled to arrive, but we never knew that it would be on schedule time. But since the Y. M. C. A. has been started among our men I can tell you to the moment whn that train leaves Cincinnati what time it rill pull into New York." There are 153 railroad associations in the United States and Canada Sixty own their own buildings. Twen ty-one buildings have been guaranteed for next year. In October there will be an international conference of the R. R. Y. M. C. A. in thecity of Phila delphia. One thousand men will be present all Christians." If God ever wrought miracles he 5s working miracles today among tbe railroad men. THE MORNING SESSION. The Association met this morning at 9.30. A song service was held, followed by the reading of Rom. 12:16 by Mr. George Stephens, of Charlotte. He said: '-If any one fact standsout prom inent.! v in our dav it is the fact that men are uniting in organizations, drawing closer together bound by one band of love. We find in these verses that Christians are ore body in Christ. We discover the Master's close sympa thy with men." This was followed Dy p aver and song. Mr. Huntington, nt Charlotte tben eave a thirty min utes B bli reading. At 10.3) the claims of the General Srr.retarvrhiD of Men oi Education and Ability, was discussed by Mr W. H. Morris?, of Baltimore. He said: I do not remember ever to have seen convention where so large a per .i t cent of the men were couege men. i want this morning to present to you a t,aw rifld. The Y. M. C. A has be- I I - . I come a poweriui urgu:inuu, Ing great Influence, with great oppor- timiLiea before it.

We look to the colleges to furnish these men. lbinK over n, pray over it, and may God direct you in all things " Mr H. O. Williams, General Secre ..-i inr railroad men. then made a talk from Hoshea 10:12 "We ci not" he said, "number our blessings, privilege has been ours as Individual. Last year was a year cf bleating to our oJganization. While we were there are thousands of -.,nr men. all over our land, who were not reached by tae l . M. u. a th's Etate there are 2,400 young men in the Y. M C. A. Here we see our ereat opportunity. We are the ones to carry on this work. What time is u.? cinA answers it is time to be at work, to move forward for the Y. M c a . to establish agencies in the state. You have decided to raise $1,500 for the state work. It would cost more than that toang aman in my county. Yet this Is the amount to carry on the work of Christ In this department. A subscription was then taken for the state work, $615 was raised.

A Pretoria de spatch says that the British troops captured at Kern Spruit arrived as prisoners and belong to the Prince of Wales own regiment. The sight of the biilliantly dressed soldiers, Great Britain's crack regiment, delighted the burghers. The prisonors have bzea exhibited to the burghers to en courage them. The effect was inspir ing. Five hundred British subjects -e ordered to leave Johannesburg today. A hundred were ordered to quit Pretoria. WILSON CALDWELL BELL RINGER THE SERVANT PHILOSOPHER OF THE UNIVERSITY. QROWTH OF THE CITY SCHOOLS. Tbe Enrollment Is Now More I nan Six Times What It Was Ten Years Ago. Written for the Telegram. It will probably be interesting to the people of Greensboro to know that tbe enrollment in the city schools is six timei as large as it was ten years ago. In 1890 there were less than 200 in the white schools. Up to tbe present tice more than 1,2 0 hare been enrolled in the white schools. Last year there were 1,133. In 1890 there were 5 white teachers and one superintendent; Now there a e 26 hite teachers and one superinten dent. . In 1890 there was one colored school 1th 3 teachers and about 125 pupils. Now there are 547 pupils. In 1890 the school population, white and colored, wr s 17bl. This year the school census shows 1800 white, and 1593 colored: Total 3395. This school population gives to the c'ty from the county fund $5,702. A comparison of the school popula tion and tne enrollment in me B.-nuon show, that while the school popula tion has not quite dounied during vd last ten years the earollment is six times as large as it was in 1890. On last Friday Mr. R. F. Wyche who has chosen as his life s worx, ik. tuinor nf beautiful stories to young folks, entertained tbe children of the L'ndiey Street Grammar school. Thi Physiology class of Asheboro Street school had the opportunity c f listening to an instructive lecture by r . Wheeler on "The care of the leeth." Words of warning from sucn a man on this subject are of great value to children and we assure Dr, Wheeler that his kindness was greatly appreciated.

A Toscfalng Epitaph Suggested for His nonument His Soul. , ful Rlnglor. Some two years ago Wilson Cald well, for so many years janitor of the University, died Thefoll"wingtouch- ing tribute was prepared, printed, and circulated among tbe alumni by W J. Peele, Esq., of Raleigh. It is pre sented touaey one of them, who thinks it has not been published except as stated: Tall, straight as an Indian, black, wiry and lithe, bland, affable, respect ful and popular oarrying a bucket of water in each hand up three flights of stairs and springing over two steps at a time waiting on forty or fifty rooms before eight o'clock in the morning and often blacking shoes at twenty Qvejtfents a month in the bargain- supporting and educating a large' family, and finally leaving behind a good estate, the fruit of his industry and economy such was Wilson Cald well, a philosopher of work, a .leader of bis race, the friends of the white people, a Christian, I believe, and a gertleman of the old school. Once, and only once, he left tbe ser vice the of University, attracted by tbe good nature and good fortune of Jul ian S. Can; but he soon retnrned to his first love, and, when asked tbe rea son, said: "Durham is no place-for a literary man." He was charltab'e to every fault ex cept outrageous uncleanliness and woe to tbe students who fell under the ban of his withering smile italicized by his deprecatory gruntl It was worse than an excommunication by the society. The solitary victim whom I remember never recovered from its effect, coupled with the fact which brought it down on his head. It went through college that his "raising" had "Wiltz's" charity into an excla mation of pity. There was none so sure to recognize bis old friends amid all changes and welcome them back to comnencement. There was, perhaps, a slight touch of sympathy in his gree'ing io any fav orite who had not made the stir in tbe world that he expected; and as the years went by and still. the looked for plaudits did not come, the wrinkles about the upper lip would grow grad ually finer and drier as the hope in bis smile did away. Pious-looking old Tom Klrby, tbe assistant janitor, was accused of bring ing 1 quor to the students in bis boot legs and they were indeed capacious enough to accommodate two or three pint ticklers each without impairing the gravity of his slow, shambling gait but calumny was never ambitious enough to whisper a breath against Wiltz, as tbe boys called him for short. He wore his character with as much decorum and respectability as Prof. Hooper did his slightly faded broadcloth. He never missed his bells from the rising bell on a dreary winter morning to the one he tolled at the midnight funeral of the wine-slain sophomore, it was the same he was there and h s "old-timey" silver watch never failed him. He punctuated with mournful emphasis the funeral hymn which "Bishop" Betts (as tha boys called our college choir-leader ) sang on that occasion, and marked with solemn cadence the measured tread of the stu dents as they marched in the funeral train from the chapal to tbe eastern slope of the hill. As a bell-ringer Wiltz was a com plete success. He knew how to get out all there wasj in his instrument, and there was much in it. The rich conscious-stricken students from tbe South, who irelted the old bell wben they burned down the belfry, put their silver into a new and better one where its value could never be degraded. To those who know its history, and to the finer spirits who rightly divine it there is a minor tone floating ever with the volume of its sounds whioh chimes with the mellow memo ries of the best we have done and suf- . 3 rr.ij i .i t i . . . i iereu. ims is ue spiriii-song or me j silver in me bell. Wiltz knew how to graduate his wise-sounding monody to the impor tance of the occasion. Yon could catch the inspiration of its crescendo the first morning of commencement, and the sound-waves flooded higher and higher until the last anl great day; then easily overflowing the cam pus, they rolled out through the leafy aisles and corridor of Battle Park, and poured down the va'leys and up over the distant hills startling the in choate orators practicing on their syl van auditors, and thrilling the ap proaching multitude with commence ment f.ver. He was ringing out the sines and the co-sines, the tangents and the logarithms and ringing in tbe girls with their scented robes and e oud-Uke draperies, and the "gilded air-cities of hope" where youth's im agination peoples them. Up among the shadows which gloomed perpetual twilight in the "Old South" building, this silent, sweating stalwart was throwing his bouI into his bell. How many jurists and statesmen and soldiers has he rung on atd off tbe stage! Well, he has rung himself off and out at last. Let him go with the honors of the race he bo much delighted honor. The alumni ought to rear a simple monument over the place where he s'eeps, and on the resurrection side of it, to catch the full glow of the last. sunrise, they should incribe: Here was laid the body of Wilson Caldwell, The student's friend and servant, An ex:mplar of modest merit, The best type of the black man, Whom he sought to elevate by laboi ; Tbe solution of tbe race problem. Mindful mainly Of his duties, HiB r'ghts were cheerfully conceded. Himself ever respectful, he was always respected. Diligence dignified his service. Three generations of white men testi fy of his faithfulness. Let him rest here till he's ready for work again.
