The public is cordially invited to at tend the meeting tonight. At three o'clock this afternoon the teachers visited the A. and M. Col lege in a body.

Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock the association will hold a final session in the hall of the Centennial school when reports of committees will be read ami discussion of subjects of interest participated In by the members of the association. EPISCOPAL CONVENTION Som- Important Questions Which will Come Before the Body Episcoualians are lookinir forward with much interest to the meeting of the General Convention, which assem bles in Washington on October 5. Sev eral prominent churchmen from Raleigh expect to attend. The General Convention, which is the chief legislating body of the Protestant episcopal Church, meets trienniallv and this year the session will be held in wasnington for the first time, the Church of the Epiphany beintr utilizer! for the meetings. It is exepected that ' about bishons and some 460 clerical and lay delegates win attenr tne convention. Ihe bishops compose what is known as the House of Bishops, while the cler ical and lav deputies form the House of Deputies. Each of the fifty-eight dioceses of the church sends eight dep uties, divided equally between the cler gy and laitv, to the convention. The joint action of the two houses is requi site on an resolutions and matters of legislation before they can become op erative. The committee on the revision of the constitution and canons, which was ap- pomteu at tne last convention, held in Minneapolis in 1895. will report to the General Convention on several matters of great moment to the church. The first in point of interest undoubtedly will be the committee's report on the proposed canon on marriage and di vorce, lhe preliminary report of the committee has already been issued, in which it is recommended that the church enact legislation forbidding the clergy to solemnize the marriage of any nivorced person while the other party to the divorce is living. At the present time the Episcopal church, by its canons, recognizes only one cause as being sufficient for a di vorce, and permits its clergy to remarry tne innocent party, but now the com mittee advocates abolishing this excep- so as to follow the practice of the Cath olic Church, which is not to marry a divorced person while the other party to the divirce is living. Naturally, so radical a change in the practice of the Episcopal Church is calling forth vehement protests from many quarters, and the opposition to the proposed new canon has assumed such proportions that it is doubtful whether the canon passes the conven tion. Other matters of interest which will come before the convention will be the question of a new constitution for the church and the proposed adoption of the provincial system. The subject of the revision of the constitution has been before the church for several years and doubtless will engross the attention of succeeding general conventions for some time. The provincial system is intended to join contiguous dioceses into groups, each group of dioceses to have an arch bishop and a provincial council for transacting certain business now done only by the General Convention. This plan has many opponents. The matter of a primate for the Epis copal church was brought before the last convention, but the plan failed to materialize, as the deputies thought the proposed primate, or archbishop, tend ed in the direction of a papcy, or at least toward too much centralization and so the matter rests. The subject of a primate may, however, be brought before the convention again in Octo ber. Possibly If a new canon should be laid before the House of Deputies em bodying the Idea of a primate, but us ing the designation president or moder ator in place of primate or archbishop, the deputies would pass the measure but the titles primate and archbishop seem to be stumbling blocks to the dep uties. Another matter of much interest to claim the convention's attention will be the subiect of the r " i of the revised version of the Scriptures In the services of the Episcopal church, only that known as the King James version be ing authorized at present. , Miss Eliza Moore who has been spending the past five or six -vteks visiting relatives and friends in Rich' mend and Petersburg Va., returned home last evening. We gladly welcome her back In our midst. The public schools of this city will open one week from today. One va cancy remains among the teachers, oc esstoned by Miss Horner not accepting. Tht school committee will meet short' ly to elect a teacher. Aldermen C. A. Jordan and John B. Morris and Street Commissioner John B. Christian, all of Durham, paid this city a visit to see our street improve ments and byto devise some plan whereby their city can follow the ex' ample of the "City of Oaks." PEACE COMMISSION. All Fiv- '(Ymmissioners Mt in NVw York To hiy PHILI! PINE QUESTION The Itellc f th t th s Country wm Prac tically Win, enainl t'ontro!, the IhWipin s Stc idily Gi ins Gionnd in w aldington. By Telegraph to the Times-Visitor. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. The im pression is steadily growing here that when the terms of peace between the Unites' States and Spain are finally concluded they will be found to include a provision for the practical ownership and certainly the control of the Philip pine Islands by America. Although nothing official can be learned further than the statement made by Judge Day last night, a member of the ad ministration circle said todav regard ing the control of the Philippines: "There is no escape from it; the Amer ican people demand it; the conditions are such that there is no alternative." Senator Frye, of Maine, said that the Idea of holding all the land secured by conquest is steadily growing. It is believed that the instructions which have been imparted to the peace commissioners are not hard and fast except as to the general policy, which they shall persue. They have the power in their discretion to deal with any un expected developments as they may oc cur. General Merritt will meet them in Paris, and it is expected that he will give the commission much information will largely determine their action. Chairman Day, Senator Davis, of Minnesota, and Senator Frye, of Maine, go to New York this afternoon, where they will join Senator Gray, of Dela ware, and Whitelaw Reid. of New York, the two other members of the commission. STRANGE ADVENTURES OF MISS BROWN. The Norfolk Landmark of Septem ber 13th says: At the Academy of Music last night this farce received its initial presen tation in Norfolk. The audience was large and enloyed the performance thoroughly. The plot h'.r.grs cn t"- ef forts of a captain of the Dragoons to keep his wife, who Is a ward in chan cery, and who is married while at a boarding school. This captain has to enter the school as one of the girls, and in consequence is subjected to many trying situations. There is nothing rique about it, but there are many ludi crous scenes, which thoroughly amuse. The company which is presenting the farce is large and thoroughlv compe tent, so that taken as a whole, the Strange Adventures of Miss Brown" will prove a laugh-producer of the first water. This wonderful company will appear at the Academv of Music In this city- Monday night September 19th. 1S98. Prices: Gallery, 25c.;' general admis sion, hoc; reservea seal oc ana i.uu. IT IS DISGRACEFUL. Mr. Editor: While Iadmire your able defence of the boys of tne Second Reg iment for their hilarity and lack of gen tility in yesterday's paper, yet there is a screw loose somewhere in discipline of this regiment. A disgraceful and disugsting sight is a swaggering soldier with huge bowie knife stuck in belt parading the streets like a Spanish desperado. Many of such can be seen Others get rowdy and do not hesitate to whio out a pistol at any moment when spoken to about thoir rowdyism. This is not intended to reflect upon the large percentage of gentlemanly soldiers in the regiment, but there are some, and they ought to be known to the officers, who should be confined In camp. A CITIZEN. THE WEATHER. For Raleigh and vicinity continued cloudy weather, with snowers possible tonight and Saturday.

It is thought that the War Department will iirei t that the army be placed in win ter quarters in the south, where the igors of a northern winter will not nave to be borne by the men. Already the search for camps throughout the south has been com neneed and within a month the entire army may be scattered in the different tales. Captain Dodds, of the department of the gulf, according to the Atlanta Constitution, has gone to HuntvoTf'e, .Via., where he will join the party and the investigation for good locations will begin. The Cam'' at Montauk which is now the largest in the country, has been so severely roasted by all the army officers and men. as well as the visitors who have been there, that the administra tion has come to the conclusion to move it, and General Miles has already or dered an evaluation. The expense of establishing and transporting the sol diers is very great and a well establish ed camp for the army is earnestly de sired by the administration. Already two batteries of r.eavv ar tillery have been order south. These are batteries A and B of the regular army. They will leave tne Point at once and cam" at Port Royal S. C. It is expected that more troops will come south soon and may camp at the same place, as it is considered a good loca tion. THE MUSIC ALE TONIGHT. A Feast of Beauty and a Flow of Song.
