"Very Pretty.
The Raleigh correspondent of the
Wilmington Messenger says :
The proof of the cover of the North
Carolina Handbook," which the de
partment of Agriculture will issue,
has ' been received. The design is
beautiful, representing at the top
" Grandfather" mountain, with the
clouds below its lofty summit : in the
centre the pine tree, wheat, cotton
tobacco and at the lower part coast
scenes, euch as a wharf piled with a
great catch of fish and a steam seine
boat laying a seine. On the cover
are the words, " Handbook of North
Carolina." The fruit orchards and
vineyards. The forests, mines and
manufactories. The colors are slate
and crimson.
The Grand Lodge.
The lodge was called to order last
evening at 7:30 o'clock. Grand Mas

tive to the death of D W Bain late
secretary, made their report which
was adopted. Upon' the motion to
adopt feeling addresses were deliv
ered by : W E Murchison, General
Bobi. B Vance, and L A Potter. The
address of General Vance was pecu
liarty impressive. Past Grand Mas
ter Smith, Mr. J A Leach and Mr. P
M Pearsall added their testimony in

In Needy Clrcamgtauces.
We are requested to call attention
to the fact that Mrs. Pool, who
lives at 116 Eist Martin street, is in
very destitute circumstances. She
is a very worthy widow lady and the
mother of seven little children, one of
thm down sick. She needs wood,
clo'hes an I something to eat. It is
to be hoped that the go id people oi
Raleigh will come to her relief.
Hard Times.
From present iiudicitions there is
not likely to be any considerable
break la the hard weather for some
hue to come, and Raleigh, like all
other cities has its poor to look after.
In this connection we cannot too
often call the matter to the attention
of our charitably disposed people.
Our generosity bus never been
brought into question whon it is
shown that the c j cta are just. Let
us h?n, one aud nil. give what we
can of our bubstauce to reliee the
uufortunate.
Lnndoii Sports.
This splendid burleaqae company
will exhibit, at Metropolitan hall next
Monday night. The Minneapolis
rimes sa) s:
The London Sports burlesque com
pany opened at the Pence last night
to a crowded house. It is one of the
best, neatest and cleverest burlesque
companies Manager Ed Hilton has
yet presented to his patrons, and they
should do a large week's business.
Ihe opening first part, is new and at
tractive. The olio is a strong one, not
a bad aci anywhere. Hits were made
by Manning and Wolley, two of the
hardest workers in the song and dance
line steen here, and the great Harsey,
who is really a magnificent dancer.
The burlesque called Ali Baba Baby
is full of f uo and very pratty girls
dressed in Oriental costumes. It's a
howler.
Oar Buildiog at Chicago.
All persons in Raleigh who con
tributed to the fund raised to erect a
N. C. building at Chicago, are re
quested to communicate, at once,
with Mrs. John Burweli, secretary,
Raleigh world's fair auxiliary, stating
whether they desire their money re
turned or are willing to donite it to
the Virginia Dare memorial associa
tion, to aid in establishing a memo
rial to the first white American vwo
man.
The money will be held for thirty
days. Those who wish it returned
have only to express their wishes.
Silence will be construed as consent
for the mrtraey to be transferred to the
Virginia Dare association, which will
be done after thirty days.
All who have contibuted one dollar
and more will receive certificates of
stock in the association for the amount
contributed. This stock. is sold at
one dollar per share. All who con
tributed less than one dollar can se
cure a certificate of stock by increase
ing their subscription to this amount.
It is due to the dignity of the state
of North Carolina that the Executive
ma ision .should be well furnished.
Much of the furniture now in use
was purhasd by Gov. Holt. We
hope proper actioo will . be at once
taken in the premises. ;
A petition is being circulated today
in favor of the appointment of Major
W. M. Rob tins ss Minister to Mexico.
It was numerously signed by mem
bers of both houses, officials and re
