What arrangements are being made
by the Raleigh people to give these
visitors, who will come from all parts
of the country, one of those hearty
welcomes for which this city is so no
ted? The chamber of commerce ought
to take the matter in hand at once. It

The Story of a "Nigger" and a
Diamond Ring.
H.iue weeks ago Mrs. W. H. Bob
bitt placed her engagement ring on a
mantle in her home. She returned to
get it in a few minutes but the ri"g
was gonv. It was very evident that it
hid been stolen, but the question was
who ws the thief? Mrs. Bobbitt was,
satisfied that her servants were all per
fectly honest mo she did not suspect
them. There was no clue to the r(ing
or the thief.
Yesterday "Doc" Jeffries, the boy
who is Dr. Bobbin's driver, asked the
doctor for some money. He wanted
to go to Millbrook, he said, to attend
his grandfather's funeral. It hap
pened that Dr. Bobbitt knew the old
negro had been dead three years and
bis suspicion was aroused. He tele
graphed to Mill Brook, found thatthe
boy had gotten off there and reported
the case to till sheriff. OAicer Oaks
drove out in a buggy, arrested Jeffries
and had him jailed. He admitted
stealing the ring, but would not tell
where he had left it or how he dis
posed of it. Now the question is how
to make a jail bird that won't talk,
talk.
"An Ounce of Prevention ."
Every time the academy of music is
crowded the attention of the people is
called to what a horrible catastrophy
would occur theie in case of fire.
Thare are very few exits aud they are
hard to reach. If fire bad broken out
last evening, for instate ., loss of life
could hardly have been prevented.
The attention of the board of alder
men has been called to this matter
several times, but it seems that the
evil has not been remeidied. Let some
thing be done. There is nothing so
true as the old saying, "An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of
A Game Test.
Mr. A Dughi wants to' test the
gameness of Raleigh's gourmands. To
do this he agrees to furnish to the
gentleman, who first takes him np a
quail every evening between 8:30
and 9 o'clock. The conditions are
that the gentleman must be on hand
every evening and eat the bird in ' Mr'.
Dughi's restaurant. If he eats one
every evening for 30 days he gets the
birds free of charge, but if he gives
up he must pay for those he has
eaten. Now if yon have any "sport
ing blood" you can show it.

tist will appear at Metropolitan hall.

The "grip" that has taken such a
violent hold on New York, has reached
Raleigh. Many citizens are laid up
or are walking about with weeping
eyes and stiff limbs and talking in awed
whispers.
There is some talk of the legisla

The last two attractions at the
academy of music have been first class
in their line. It is a pleasure to note
that both were well patronized. let
good companies be engaged always
and there will be no cause for com
plaint on theground that Raleigh peo
ple do not appreciate them.
There are now 175 students at the
A. & M. college. Last fall there were
over 200. The decrease is caused by
a rule which prevents a student who
fails on examinations from remaining
at college. The college made a good
showingr only 37 students failing to
pass all their examinations.

appear here at the academy of music

monument fund and to hear some ex
cellent operatia singing.
FOR ARE0RMAT0RY.
The Commit.ee of Asheville Citi
zens Here.
The Visitor some weeks ago printed
in interview with captain C. B. Den
son about the pressing need of a re
formatory for young prisoners. As
stated then a reformatory on a small
scale Las already been started in Ashe,
ville and is doing a great work. It was
also stated that a committee of Ashe
ville citizens would come here to urge
npon the legislature the necessity of
a reformatory. Today the - com
mittee came. Mayor Patton has been
here for some days. Those who came
this morning are W. H. Deaver, N. A.
Reynolds and J. H. Tucker. They
say that they have gr-at hope of the
bill being passed. It is strictly a non
partisan measure and one that should
meet with the hearty approval of men
of every party.
The need for a reformatory is
pressing. It is a humane measure de
signed to improve the condition and
teah a trade to those unfortunate
young'erlrainals who are no sentenced
to the roads or to the penitentiary.
When a man suffers this punishment
n nine cases out of ten he is ruined.
When he goes to a reformatory he is
made to work, to be sure, but he is
also taught and every effort is made
to improve his moral atn'-i and his
education. The bill should certainly
pass.
THE WEATHER.
The Conditions and the Fore
cast.

stations in the lake region. The
weather is now generally clear in the
south and west, where the pressure h
rising aud westerly winds prevail.
with slowly falling temperature, lbe
conditions are favorable for a day or
two of fine weather.
Hi Henry Last Evening.
Those who went to see the minstreb
ast evening, and the academy, both
orchestra and galleries, was packed,
witnessed a splendid performance.
It was amusing and instructing and
remarkably free from the little
touches of coarseness which so fre
quently mar performances of the
kind. : Among the features especially
good were the tumbling feats, the
stereoptican exhibition, which was the
best ever seen here. Fairly gooO
jokes, good music and several novel
features combined to' make the per
formance an almost ideal piece of
minstrelsy. The large crowd present
was no more than the company de ¬
served. Come again. Hi Henry.
Raleigh is Growing.
A gentleman tells the Visitoe that
there are now no less that forty hand
some residences being built within the
limits. This does not include
stores, of which several are being
built and two remodeled.
""This is very encouraging and shows
that Raleigh is continuing, in even
greater proportion, the wonderful
strides in the improvement line which
were shown in the Visitor's detailed
account on January 2ud. A walk in
the surburbs will show an observan
person inmy signs of Raleigh's ad
vancement. It is good to see and the
Visitor delights to note it.
Should be Seht to an Asylum,
John Roan, a demented old negro
man, has wandered away from home
no less than five different times. . H
walks some times as far as 20 miles
from Raleigh. He was brought back
from Apex yesterday after having
taken one of his jaunts.. He should
be placed in an asylum and efforts
have been made to get him in one but
the Goldsboro asylum is so crowded
I that there is not room tor even a single
other inmate. : .:
