Her high purpose has not been lowered, nor has hei strenuous life relaxed its efforts. The enrollment to date in the college proper Is 231, against 201 last year. The col lege and high school together now number 375, an increase of forty over hist year. In this student body are represented thirty-nine different voca tions, and they come from eight states of the Union and from far off Japan.

' " 'Too- much emphasis can not be laid upon the large benefactions which are now being bestowed through Trinity "ollege. The income derived from the Endowment, amounting to something over thirty thousand dollars, is a gift. Besides this, thousands of dollars in the form of remitted tuition run the benefactions of TrinityCollege up to something like forty thousand dollars. "The bpard recommends that the conference confirm the following who are nominated for trustees o fill va cancies caused by expiration of the term December 31, 1903: A. P. Tyer, J. II. Southgate, H.

Church, South, through and by means of a board of trustees, consist ing of three members from the "West ern North Carolina Conference, three from the North Carolina Conference and three to be named by the Alumnae Association, to be maintained as a Methodist college, for women. We rec ommend that Joseph G. Brown for two years, J. A. Long for four years and. Q. K. Nimocks for six years, be named as trustees on the part of the confer ence. " "We further recommend that a com mittee of three Andrew P. Tyer, L. S. Massey and L. B.

"We further recommend that an es sessment of fifteen hundred dollars be made by- this conference to aid in pay ing the Interest1 for one year on the bonded Indebtedness of the college." The report pays due attention and bestows deserved commendation upon Littleton Female College, Trinity Park High School, the Scarritt Bible and Training School and Louisburg Female College. Dr. Kilgo was recommended I for appointment as conference educa j tional secretary. The board recom- .mended an assessment of $602 for Paine Institute and Lane College, $602 for the general board of education, and $5,000 for education, the last amount to be used as a loan fund for needy and worthy students: Provided as much as $500 thereof may be used by the board ! of trustees of Trinity College to heip J pay the interest on the bonded indebt edness of the college. The next conference goes to Hender son, i The Ray ProceIIn? Goldsboro, N. C, Nov. 28. Special. The work of the sixty-seventh annual meeting of the North Carolina con fenrence of "the Methodist Episcopal ! Church, South, now in session here, has ! proceeded rather leisurely and when tne session today opened many of the preachers were of the opinion that an extra session jvould haVejto be held In order to adjourn by Monday even ing. Several connectional brethren have been In attendance and all have addressed hccaiference-.-"-- The. committees have all been hard at work 'and nearly all are getting ready to' report. There has been little of debate during the four days of con ference. Everything has run smoothly. Bishop Candler makes a popular presid ing officer, has allowed ample time for all work and there has been no hurry. The special addresses during the con fere have been of an unusually high order. Dr. Kilgo's address last night has received speciallr high praise. SUNDAY SERVICES. The committee oa public worship has arranged appointments for Sunday as follows: St. Paul "m. E. church, 9:30 a. m.

Dr. lierran wall go to the state department with me and present me to Secretary Hayv" "What is the feeling in. Colombia about the Panama revolution?" was asked. - "The feeling is. running high and there is indignation over the events on the isthmus. We .can and will put down the rebellion if not interfered with from the outside. So tense is the. feeling and so national the spirit of de termination to bring the isthmus back into the 'republic that President Mar roquin Will have no trouble in rais ing an army twice the size necessary to put down the disturbance. Snch an army can march overland to the Isthmus, the opinion of ill-advised per sons to -the contrary notwithstanding." At 7 o'clock to-night the Colombian ommissior.ers, with those from the State of Bolivar, vrho arrived here sev eral days ago, and Dr. Herran, began a session at the Arlington, which last ed very late. They sent . down word, that they .would have nothing to say for publication to-night. Mr. Bunau-Varilla, the minister of Panama, went to New York this af ternoon. Before leaving he talked with acting Secretary-c-f-State Loomis about. ; the manner of the payment of the ten : millions of dollars which the Panama 'government is to receive from the i United States when the ratifications of the treaty are exchanged. The gov erning junta at Panama is in accord with the plan to accept United States : bonds in lieu of gold for the greater vpaxt of this bonus. It desires two mil lion dollars i cash for sajiitary works, : giving new J water systems for Colon and Panama, and is willing to take the remaining eight millions in bonds. his disposition of the junta is gratl- ring to the administration, wnxen .ishes to so arrange the payments to Catches , J the Panama government and the Pan jama Canal Company, the latter beirfg i entitled to forty million dollars, as to cause the least disturbance of finan cial conditions in this country. Mr. Bunau-Varilla has received ad vices from his government and from other sources, . that General Reyes, while at Port LimonCosta Rica, sent telegrams to the presidents of South and Central American countries, ask ing them to direct, their diplomatic rep resentatives in Washington to confer with him here in regard to a protest to be directed to the United States government against its course on the Isthmus. PANmNTS ALL Colombia Will Get No Share ; of the Canal Money Washington, Nov. 28. M. Bunau Varilla, the minister from Panama, called at the state department today and had a conference with Acting Sec retary Loomis concerning financial questions connected with the canal problem. It appears that the junta has determined to reserve all of the $10,000,000 to be paid to Panama by the United States after the treaty is rati fied, for purposes of public improve ments. A dispatch from Panama said that the junta positively would not give Colombia any of the money, and that it wanted $2,000,000 In cash arid $8,000,000 in a form to invest. The minister Is going to New York for a day or two. GARTER IS FREE Officer Who Defrauded the Government Serves Out ; ; His Time ' Leavenworth, Kas., Nov. 28. A few minutes before 4 o'clock this mornins O. M. Carter, former captain of engi neers, walked out 6t the portals of the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth a. free man. At the' gates he was met by his uncle, L. D. Carter, and was Immediately driven in a hack to tho union depqt in this city. This last movement was a ruse to throw the newspaper men, whom he wished abov all things to avoid, off , the track. At the union station Carter stilt staunchly refused to be interviewed as to his plans for the future. He said: "I will take the fast train to Chica go. I wish to spend Sunday with my mother, who is over anxious to see me." While awaiting his train the former army officer conversed freely on a large number of subjects, but always skil fully avoiding the introduction of an thing in regard to his conviction or his plans. In regard to himself he merely said: "I am feeling as well as could be expected -under the circumstances. De prived, to an extent, as I was, of exer cise, I could not hope to be better, sit uated." . The captain looked much older than when he entered the prison nearly four years ago, but showed no trace of ill health. NOBODY'S BUSINESS John Mitchell Resents Offi ciousness of Socialists Indianapolis, Nov. 23. John Mitchell today, for the first time in his life, said jwhat he think3 of Socialists. He said jwhat he did because he could restrain himself no longer against, their potty j flings at him for seeing fit at different 'times to be friendly with President j Roosevelt and different capitalists. The last straw came when he was shown a dispatch from Pottsville, Pa., ! where last niglxt several Sociali-jts, among whom, it was said, several union j miners, adopted resolutions condemning Mitchell for dining with President Roosevelt. Mitchell read the dispatch and then said:' ' . I "Well, I don't care. It's a matter of 'supreme Indifference to me what any body pays, be he Socialist or any one else, about my choosing my friends. If some one cares for me and I cafe enough for him to dine with him, be he president of the United States or the humblest laborer in the land, it Is my own affair. I choose L my own friends without consulting any one else. That ap plies' to socialists as well as others, and I am happy to say that I count ; President Roosevelt one of my friends." GIBL GOULO SHOOT A Boozy Man Found It out at the Cost of a Leg Roanoke, Va.. Nov. 2S. Miss Kate iRoughbough, a telegraph operator for the Norfolk and Western, at Thacker. : McDowell county, W. Va.. last night exhibited courage little dreamed of on the part of a woman. An unknown white man, who was intoxicated, went to the office and assailed the girl with .insulting language, whereupon she at- tacked him with a hatchet, driving hlro from the office. Having left the'build Ing and the young woman relinquish ing the chase, the desperado decfded to return and further press his attentions, when she fired at him with a revolver, tvo shots taking effect in the leg. causing him to fall. Miss Roughbough at once called a policeman and the wounded man was removed. He wag afterwards taken to Williamson. His le.j will have to be amputated as a result of the wounds. No warrant has been issued for the ar rest of Miss Roughbough. 1 Indians Goinsr to Mexico Marathon, Tex., Nov. 28. Advices were received here today that S0) Delaware Indians, with all their be longings, will arrive here about De cember 15, and will go thence to the northwestern part of the state of Coahuila, Mex., to colonize the land3 j recently purchased for this purpose, j The "lands purchased for this colony ; are known as the Navajo lands and are S separated from Texas by the Rio Grande. MONEY IN A LOG s - A Pleasant Surprise to an Indiana Farmer Indianapolis, Ind., ifov. 28. Several days ago an elderly stranger was riding along" the public highway, just west of Madison, and called to Robert Black, a farmer, who was gathering 'corn in a field by the roadside. Feint ing, to an old log cabin on the Black farm, which had long been used for storing corn, the stranger said there was a bis pile of money - hid in 'the house. . "How much?" asked Black. "About five thousand,' replied the stranger and rode away. The farmer laughed and thought it a funny joke, but suggested tearing down the old house, and yesterday he and his Hired hands began the . work. In one corner of the house, beneath the foundation and in. the first log he found $4,200 in gold and silver coin, much of It being dated before the civil war. Mr. Black has no -idea how the money came there nor does he kno who it was that told him the money was hidden ! in the old house. THEIR HOUSE " THEIR CASTLE Two Crazy Women Keep Their Doors Barred and Shoot . at all Who Come Near Tamaqua, Fa., Nov. 28. Barricaded in their home in McKeansburg, in the country district near here, Rebecca Holland and her daughter, both be lfeved to be insane, keep guard at the doors and windows with revolvers and shotguns, and "defy anybody to come there. ' t Sunday night they fired at people, on their way home from church, and since then all the residents of the little vil lage have been giving the house a wide berth. Today James Albert, an Ara- bian peddler, visited the town and knocked on the door of the house. In response, five shots were fired through the panels of the door, one of which inflicted a slight wround on his right hand. Albert came here to swear out warrants for the arrest of the women. It is not believed they can be taken without a right or by laying sieije to the house. The women are laboring under the delusion that everybody who - comes near the house means to do them harm. For the past five years they have lived the lives of recluses, seldom leav ing their home. The farmers tell many strange stories of their customs and shun the house. A few week? ago the driver of a grocery team stopped in front of the house and wns about to rap at the jjate when he was fired upon from a window on the second floor. clevelanFsietteb Various Views of the Effect on v. Prospects of Other Can didates .New York, Nov. 29. The Worll has received a number of replies to ques tions submitted to members of the Democratic committee as to the effect 'of Mr. Cleveland's definite announce ment that he will not be a candidate for president. Included among these replies are the following from south em Democratic national committee men: t: Hinton, W. Va., November 2S. I do not believe the announcement of Cleveland strengthens or weakens any candidate. In this state he has not been regarded as available or a factor. JAMES H. MILLER. New Orleans, November 2$. Answering your telegram, I do not consider that the withdrawal of Mr. Cleveland can be construed as a facto?

Replying to your inquiry" with re-, gard to the announcement of Mr. Cleveland, I think it should greatly strengthen . Chief Judge Parker. It will naturally give him the undivided support of New York state, and this fact will add greatly to his strength in other states. HOL2 SMITH. Birmingham, Eng., Nov. 28. W. J. Bryan was' seen today and asked his views on the effect of Cleveland's withdrawal. "I am surprised," ,Mr. Bryan responded, "but I can not dls- cuss the prospect of the Democratic : campaign beyond saying that I do not see that it affects the situation one way or the other, as Mr.' Claveland never had any chance of getting the nomination." Cup Offer Withdrawn Berlin. Nov. 28. EmDeror William ! has withdrawn his offer of a cup for a trans-Atlantic yacht race in 1904, on account' of his health, and has sub stituted for it "the offer of a cup to be raced for in 1905.

Miletchevitch. the Servian minister here, has request ed United States Ambassador Tower to forward to Washington an auto- laffn. fiAm T.'inW Pftfal rt TTCiCl dent Roosevelt, informing him of his accession to the throne. Mr. Tower accepted the letter and cabled the fact to Washington. The step taken bv King Peter is doubtless designed to bring about a resumption of diplomatic relations between Servia and the United States which lapsed after the assassfnation of King Alex- anderand Queen Draga, - HANGED AND RIDDLED A SOUth Carolina MOD ViSltS that the Marylander will profit by r .rt, Cleveland's declination.

ERED BY SAVAGES Fate of a Shipwrecked Crew in Formosa Channel Damariscotta, Me., Nov. 28. Leuers received here today from Mrs. A. J. Holstadt, wife of Captain Holstadt of! the ship enjamin Seawall, wrecked in Formosa channel some weeks ago, confirm the report that a boat load 01 people, including First Mate Morris, twelve men anda woman, were killed: on Botel Tobago, an island inhabited by savages. The letters say five men, Including Russian, Japanese and Filipino, were found and seven men and a Japanese woman, wife of Mate Morris, were missing?.

The letter of ex-President Cleveland, eliminating himself -as a factor in the contest for the " Democratic presidential nomina tion, was a subject of live interest in congressional and political circles to day. ' While Mr. Cleveland has few friends among the Democrats in Con gress yet they realize the fact that the sage of Princeton has much strength throughout the 'nation, and the ques tion which interests them is, to whom will this strength go?. They realize also that Mr. Cleveland's candidacy has had the effect of arous ing the interest of many eastern Dem nrnts and conservatives in the west. who have associated themselves with "e Republicans during the last two campaigns.

But -will anybody except the gentieman to whom it is addressed' and as .its recipient he could exercise no latitude be likely to. regard it as flnal? Mn Cleveland definitely out of it? Not if the next Democratic na tional convention takes the other view of the case. Not until he declares over his signature against a third term.'' When W. W.

"Just at this time I think there are many of them for Hearst or Mc Clellah, and if either is satisfactory to the New York Democracy he woul. likewise be acceptable to our people." "If the party Is to nominate a man with the best chances of success, and present chances seem ood, then wis dom would again require that we go to New York for the candidate. But if we ara to waive anything that would contribute to success and merely seek a high exponent of living Democratic principles, then I shall favor present ing the name of a North Carolina can didate at the next national convention, "Who Is your candidate from North Carolina?" ; "Chief Justice Walter Clark and Oovy ernor Charles B, Aycock have been mentioned in this connection..

For the first time the assignments of, the four new members, from the state we learned today. It is a plain truth to say that they did not ret very de sirable billets. Few new members do, and Messrs. Pagre, Webb, Patterson and Gudger will not be very much sur prised when they are acquainted with their committee appointments. Mr. Gudger Is slated for the committee on alcoholic liquor traffic, whatever that may be. Webb g-oes on education, Page on civil service reform and Pat terson on census. As a member of the delegation said today It appears that North Carolina has purposely been ieft off the committee on ventnatlon. While Mr. Small failed to' land on rivers and harbors, toe is retained on merchant marine and fisheries, one of the Important committees. The ship subsidy bill will come before this com mittee.
