Lesson is T;k:n from Second Kings the
l-lghth ' hapter llcginning with the
F.'gh'eenth Verse.
"Then the King of. Syria warred
against Israel, and took counsel with
his servants, saying. In such and such
a place shall be my camp."
Benhadad II. was then king of Syria,
and Jehoram, son of Ahab, king of Is
rael. The king of Syria Intended to en
trap the king of Israel by an ambus
cade. Whether he exepected to entrap
the whole armv or onlv the king of
Israel and his bodyguard or Immediate
attaches we know not.
"And the man of God (Elisha) sent
unto the king of Israel, saying, Be
ware that thou pass not such a place,
for thither the Syrians are come down."
Israel's king sent reconnoitering par
ties to the place he had been warned
of and saved himself. Whereupon the
king of Syria was sorely troubled, forjThere was nn!v one unpleasant hap
he suspected that he had a traitor inlpening and the hlanie for it cannot be
his army who kept the king of Israel ! settled ! upon , any one. it was an una-
posted as to his movements. "And he
called his servants and said unto them,
5 58 5 59 i Will ye not phow nie umcli is tor me
5 (ll5 02 king of Israel? And one of his servants
5 Ii4(i5 5Li,i vr,.t one. mv Lord. O king: but
Klisha, the prophet that is In Israel,
telloth the king of Israel the words
that thou spvakest in thy bedchamber."
"And he said. Go and spy where he is,
that I may send and fetch him." What
did the kins want with Klisha? It Is
hardly likelv that he wished to put
him to death: he would be afraid to
put to death a man that was in such
high favor with God as he had reason
to suppose Klisha was. It isprobable
that he wished to keep him where hp
could not communicate with the kin
of Israel. Possibly, not certainly, he
may have expected to avail himself of
Elisha's prophetic powers to aid him
in his campaign, for carnal men often
have very imperfect notions of right
and propriety.
"And it was told hime, saying, B
hold, he is in Dothan." Therefore the
king sent thither horses, and chariots
and a great host." This was a formid
able army sent to capture a single man;
but the king may have thought that
Klisha "had great power as well as great
wisdom, and that it would take an army
to overpower him. It may not have
occurred to him that Klisha's power
was diV'nie, and a great force would be
as helpless against him as a little noe.
"Ard they came by night" to find
:,e i Klisha off their guard
"and compassed The city about" to al
low Elisha no possibility of escape.
An 1 When the servant of the man
of God was risen early and gone forth.
behold, a host compassed the city both
with horses and with chariots. And
his servant said unto him. Alas my
master! how shall we do?" "And he
(Klisha) answered, fear not, tor they
that be wit'.i us are mine than they
that be with them." But the servant
could not see it; he was too carnal.
"And Klisha prayed and said, Lord, I
pray thee open his eyes that he may
see. And the Lord opened the eyes of
the young man and he saw; and, be
hold the mountain was full of horses
and chariots of fire round about Eli
sha." The servant was put rn the
same mental state in which Elisha was.
He was enabled directly with his sou?
to see with his spiritual eyes. The
horses and chariots of fire were proba
bly angels. These fiery symbols sur
rounded the prophet and were between
him and the enemy.
When the Syrians came down unto
him, Elisha prayed unto the Lord, and
the Svrians were smitten with blind
ness that they mightn ot be able to
capture Elisha, and that he might be
able to lead them Into the camp of
Israel. It gave the king of Israel an
opportunity to show mercy to the be
wildered Syrians, and thus gain a mor
al victory more substantial and lasting
than one of bloodshed.
If this story is a pure Invention, then
it is the product of a genius, but It is
true, and it shows God's readiness to
Interfere for the protection of his peo
Die In answer to prayer. God cares for
his people now as much as he did then,
and prayer is Just as available now as
it was then.
THE MINSTRELS LAST NIGHT.
The Season Opens With Fourteen Hun
dred Delighted Spectators.
The merry minstrels from Ohio led
by Al. G. Fields, than whom there Is
no more popular fun-maker, arrived on
schedule time last night at the Acade
my of Music and opened the theatrical
season in Raleigh -ith suon an audi
ence as has seldom made room for it
self In the Academy and that brought
joy j0 Manager Schloss as well as to
lirnn r ir i
naturd, happy-go-luck, old time min
strel audience, while down Btairs there
wa.s a goodly gathering of representa
tives of Raleigh's best social circles.
Indeed it was a refined and cultured
gathering and the programme arrang
ed by Mr. Fields contained no unpleas
ant feature and the usual minstrel
vulgarism was conspicuous by its ab
sence throughout the entire perform
ance. Much depended on the success of the
attraction. It was not only the open
ing number on the Academy's list of
bookings, but was the first company to
be presented to a Raleigh audience by
Manager Schloss the new lessee of the
Opero House. That it was a success
goes with the announcement that over
fourteen hundred paid admissions were
registered at the box office and all of
the spectators left the hall praising the
minstrel company for their high -classed
show, and Manager Schloss for the im
provements he has made in the stage
arrangement and for booking such a
winner to open the season.
Dan Quinlan, the same old minstrel,
one never goes backward, but is always
improving, took the seat in the middle
and held it down in the beat style pos
sible. He was roaring success, a rip
staving fun-maker from start to fin
ish, an able running-mate for Al. Fields
who, with his sypecialties, added new
friends to his already large circle In
this city. There were numbers on the
programme that had never been pre
sented before a Raleigh audience, there
were songs and jokes that had not be
fore been sprung in this section, there
were no tiring features and only the
most interesting specialties. The voices
were all good and tbe support was ren
dered by one of the bist orchestras
pvpr tipnrrl in thp Arndpmv of Music.
!1(
the time, and though the last number
on t '-' oi'ogi aimne was necessarily
abandoned every man woman and child
vim left the opera House felt that h
had his money's worth. The electric
liuhts in the opera House are furnish -have
new wires and equipment
throughout the hall, and lastn ight
when a pie'-e of seenerv fell on two
wires throwing them together anil
causing a short circuit that burned out
all fuses every one deplored the acci
dent and it was regretted that the
company could not remedy the trouble
in time for thespecinl features in which
the electric lights are a necessity.
The minstrels have ,"ome and gone.
They have not been forgotten for to
day the small boy is whistling the new
airs on the streets, and every one has
his particular favorite, whose cause he
i presents in glow ing terms. Raleigh al
ways welcomes A!, hields and Dan
Quinlan. and only wishes that th,ey
would come again soon.
AI.DKKM.NNTG GOATS.
Wherein This Tribe Differs From
Hi)
Ordinary C"um pan inns.
(Communicated.)
ml :t ' nn '' -""-has im
portuned the Times-Visitor to explain
the material difference between the
aide manic goat and all others.
There are but two general species o?
the g?nus Capra the Ibex and the
Goat the latter taking in all classes
of the domesticated aminal. among
which many he named the 'Maltese
goat, the Syrian goat, the Augora goai,
the Gashmere goat, the Nubian goaf,
the Nepaiil gnat and the common ni
Rilly and Nannie goat.
Among naturalists there is a diver
sity of opinion as to the original stock
of the domestic goat. And as to that
specific? tribe entitlf-d to the new name
Ahlermanio gnat, the Times-Visitor la
at a loss to find any reliable authority
henving directly and technically upon
fhe subject.
The goat family are rHjrmn:.. mam
mals, the male postine of w4uchjv.e;ir!'
a beard., though unlike an alderman tie
does not shave. Then again the Wm.
Gnat has a hard head and insists in
hrving pretty much his own way In
his ward, regardless of the wishes or
the people generall, in this respect some
what resembling the ordinary alder
man, and he has rising from tne crest
of the skull, horns, bending gradually
backward, thick and flat, with the an
terior face ridged with knotted trans
verse bands. The alderman does not
wear horns, but sometimes his head is
as hard as the goat's when one en
deavors to suggest an Idea which might
prove of great benefit to the munici
pality. Then, again, the ;ld-fashioned
Rhamkatte William Goat is an intelli
gent animal, suseeptable of learning
many accomplishments, hence he has
excelled all other classes of goat family
in wonderful achievements, ' prominent
among such learning is the idea that ne
has a eupernor right In his ward over
all creation, and that those who do not
like his way of doing' must keep out
the way. So it is with the alderman.
he rides into office by the vote of tne
people to act as their servant, though
when he is elected he embraces tne i
idea that public office is a private hene-

flt, and until he has good sidewalks
and good streets about his individual
property he is about as contrary and
stubborn as the goat.
Now it may be that the board of al
derman in executive or secret session
have adopted the Wm. Goat as their
coat of aims, and as is frequently done
by members of that great society.
"The Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks" purchase a live elk, some pf
our aldermen enthused by the muni
cipal honors heaped upon them feet
that they should have about them a
living specimen of their emblematic
goat, and thus the Billy Goat has been
superceded by the Aldermanie Goat, a
name he will hereafter be known Py
when owned by a city father.
