ChristUu Snn please copy; - ANSWERS ITSELF. The Christian Advocate's Vile attack on Raleigh's Ladles. The following extracts are taken from the Christian Advocate criticizing Kaleigh ladies for giving a bill for tbe benefit of the Confederate monu- meut. The article was .referred to iu Saturday's Visitor : "We are not sur prised since the cheek of this dancing set has beeu exhibited so frequently heretofore. For exhibitions of abomi nable taste we will risk these devotees of the V room against the world. Not satisfied with .the desecration of morals and manners, incident to work oi their own responsibility, they seem determined, like birds of prey, to fol low every other enterprise and gratify their lust for reveling at the expense of every noble sentiment. It will be enough to make the Confederate dead, in whose honor this monument is reared, tarn over in their graves ! "If these people will dance, let them not dance in memory of the con federate dead. Such a s'ene would suggest a jubilee over the dead. It is exceeding bad taste. Let the public take notice that this whole business is a catch. It is meant to have a big time by drawing a heavy draft upon public sentiment. Like the charity ball, it is intended to take advantage of the occasion nndet the pretext of helping a good cause." Then follows aclipiug: "We are opposed to balls of all sorts: but most of all to the "charity ball." It is a profane per formance masquerading in the livery of benevolence while working the ends lasciviousness." Nice stuff for a religious paper to publish; especially against such good and pure women are the managers of the ball. The Visitor had intended commenting on the article but, on re flection, it is seen to display such a lack,of taste and gentlemanly wording and to show so much venom that it carries with it its own condem nation. Intelligent people every where will readily see this. The article needs ne comment. THE FANCY BALL. To be Held at the Yarboro Tues day Evening. The fancy ball for the benefit of the confederate monument will be held at the Yarboro house on Tuesday eve ning, begining at 9 o'clock.

A Splendid Show. : Hi Henry's minstrels will be at the academy of music this evening. They gave a spendid show, the Charlotte News says : "The largest house since Booth was here greeted Hi Henry's minstrels last night. The building was packed and the show was worthy the house. The company presents some unique things in mlnistrelsy and is composed of artists fiom first to last. The songs are good and the muaio excellent. The good opinion formed of the company on its southern tour was strengthened in Charlotte and oar people are cheerfully willing to accord it the praise' of being the best minstrel show that has ever visited this city."

Tbey are : James H. Lassiter, of Vance ; D. L. Gadger, of Buncombe ; Wm. L. Fittman, of For sythe. There was an absurd rumor this morning that the great horse, John R. Gentry was dead. The story was without foundation. Gentry in win tering splendidly. The endowment fund of Wake Forest college is rapidly growing.

Shelburn re ports the seizure of a 123-gallon illicit distillery with 2000 gallons of beer, near Orange factory, Durham county. The still was owned by Ed. Johnson. 'No news." said commissioner Rob inson today; "we have plenty of work and are receiving numbers of letters askiug about North Carolina's advan tages." Sounds like good news doesn't it? Any one finding a copy of the mail scheme of North Carolina counties, lost Saturday, will confer a great fa on the owner by leaving it at this office. It is a long, slim boek bound in black. Hi Henry's minstrels at rived today in their handsome car, Clipper. They gave a street parade which delighted the populace. Twenty-six men were in the parade. The band is a par ticularly fine one.

The Legislators Worried. The legislature did not convene until 3 o'clock this afternoon but the legislators had plenty to think about. The statement in yesterday's News and Obseever about the expenses of the legislature stirred them up mightily. The committee rooms were filled with politicians discussing how to "fix" things. One of them was over-heard to say : "This thing has got to be fixed somehow. The expenses must be cut down as low as they were n 1893, but no lower." The legisla tors are in a pretty bad fix. If they don't cut down expenses the public will condemn them; if they do the News and Observer can say, "we made you do it." What he Had Always Wanted to See. A gentleman from Rockingham tells a good story about a colored man who ne from that place to Raleigh in search of a job from the legislature. He saw the negro the other night and asked him how he was getting along. Well Boss," said he, "I didn't get no job and I lost !?20 by the trip but I'm glad I eame.
