H. Cowan, U. S. N., is at his' home, 'says the Dur ham Herald, on a few day's leave of ab--jsenee, visiting; his family. It will be remembered that Mr. Cowan was ap pointed to this position by the Presi dent during1 the war with Spain. He 1$ assigned to duty as assistant paymas ter on xoard tne V. 8. 8. Lebanon; -which is now at the Norfolk navy yard -undergoing repairs. ,", When Mr. Cowan Joined, the ship theyWere. at: Key Wes for ten days' to take'dn coal from there, to Ponce and from there to San Juan Porto Rico.

By Telegraph 'to the Times-Visitor. WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. At the Surgeon General's office of the army today he gave out a statement as to the responsibility of the medical de partment of the army, in which he said among other things, that it would re quire superhuman power to meet the expectation of many of those who have criticised the Surgeon General; his re sponsibilities are great but it is Im possible tor him personally to admin ister or supervise the medical admin istration in the armies In the Held and, for this reason, there is a chief sur geon for each military department of each army corps, each division and each brigade. Tnese chiefs are respon sible to the commanding generals and the Surgeon General has no authority over them. Hence to hold the Surgeon vjenerai responsible for the conduct oi live hundred or more regimental sur geons appointed by Governors of the estates, most of these surgeons without previous military experience, is absurd. The same is true regarding the six hundred contract doctors employed. The urgent need for medical assist ance made it absolutely Impossible to have boards to examine these doctors. Even if all had been qualified still they lacked experience. The Surgeon Gen eral is not responsible for the neglect or incompetence of moderate officers, whether regular or volunteer, his du ties recommend the assignment of med ical officers; he has no direct charge of general hospitals, hospital ships or medical supply depots. The Surgeon ueneral has endeavored to anticipate tne wants of the army, and has estab lished branch supply stations. Most orders come by telegraph, sometimes with no means of transportation. The hospital trains are not under his direc tion neither are the transports. EPISCOPAL GENERAL TION. CONVEN- Mr. Editor: In your interesting ar ticle yesterday concerning the ap proaching Triennial Convention of the Episcopal Church at Washington after mentioning the proposed provincial sys tem occurs the following paragraph: "The subject of a primate may however be broUght before the convention again In October. Possibly if a new canon should be laid before the House of Dep uties embodying the idea of a primate but using the designation president or moderator in place of primate or arch bishop the deputies would pass the measure, but the titles primate and archbishop seem to be stumbling blocks to the deputies." Now Mr. Editor ex actly why the deputies should grow alarmed and panicky at the suggestion of the restoration of these ancient and dignified titles it is hard to understnd. They have held their rightful places in the nomenclature of the historic An glican Commission of which the Pro estant Episcopal Church in America is an integral part, and in all branches of the Huly Catholic Church from time immemorial. Should the question arise it cannot be believed that our Right Reverend Fathers and the other distinguished churchmen composing the convention, will deliberately reject the adoption of these honorable appella tions, hallowed by centuries of use in the mother church of England, and sub' stitute therefor in a spirit of compro mise either of the other names pro posed as suitable designations for those Ugh offices. By keeping in line with the historic past iii such matters the church will be better armed for fullfllling her des tiny in the expanding future. LAYMAN. Mr. C. B. Edwards left today for Philadelphia. Mr. Louis Mahler left this morning n a business trip to New. York and Providence In the interest of the firm )f H. Hahler's Sons. . A very delightful barbecue was given t the residence of Mr. N. G. Sander ford,, two miles beyond Mllbrook yes terday; which was attended by an en thusiastl'c gathering; of young people: The occasion was a very enjoyable one, and "will, long be remembered by all those that participated in it. 1 ' .MASONIC , . Hiram Lodge No. 40, A. F. and A. M. will meet Monday, evening,, 8ept lth. 1898, at 7:80 o'clock In regular commun ipatlon, Members are requested to' at tend' promptly. Brethren of slBtgc lodges, cordially Invited to meet with us. ' , ' ; W. W. PARRISH, Acting W. M, E, B. THOMAS, Secretary. ' ODD FELLOWS Notes of General Interest From the Order How is your attendance now? Nights are pleesant. S We understand that all the lodges are having work to do and that the Camp has plenty. Our Grand Secretary has Just return ed from another successful tour in the west. If all signs do not fail, the Increase in the attendance is going to be bet ter. The treasurer of Gastonia Lodge sayB that their meetings are well attended and work plentiful. What has become of our degree staff? It will not do to let the staff work fail. Statesville has -.:!" taken Its place in line with a t -dge. Unless we are much mistaken this will be a suc cessful lodge. On Wednesday evening last the Grand Secretary assisted by a staff of fifteen members of Newton Lodge, went to Statesville, and instituted a new Lodge, which was given an old name and number. The following officers were elected and Installed: S. L. Parks, N. G. J. A. Conner, V. G. W. E. Nattrasa, R. S. J. S. Fry, F. S. J. P. Flannigan, Treas. The lodge starts with twenty-five members, and is composed of States vllle's beat citizens. The title will be Excelsior Lodge, No. 41. Our Grand Representatives to the Sovereign Grand Lodge, with Past Grand Sire C. M. Busbee, Past Grand Representative C. F. i,umsden, and probably several others are now on the way to Boston to attend the annual session of that body. It promises to be a session of much Interest, and impor tance to the Order and we await the proceedings with anxiety. We clip the following three Items from the Vlre nia Odd Fellow. Tne one relative to uro. tiauev win ue heartily endorsed by the brethren in Raleigh who remember Bro. Bailey's efficient work here several years ago in training our first degree staff: We look forward with pleasant an ticipation to the time, when Deputy Grand Master Bailey will become Grand Master of Virzinla. His thorough knowledge of Odd Fellowship and un assumed modesty will, in our opinion cause him to retire from the chair with a brilliant record. We elect too many Grand Masters on sentiment. We know of one or two who should never have been advanced further than Inside Guardian. And this promotion, in many cases, does the Order no good. A man mav make a good sexton, but a very poor minister. Ne sutor ultra crepidam. A goodly number of our exchanges harp on the number of prominent mem bers in our ranks (mostly politicians), but never mention how often they are seen in the lodge room. Our experi ence with tlris class of members is that when they put In appearance In the lodge it is very near election day. It is our experience that every lodge would be better off without the profes sional politician. NEXT WEEK AT THE THEATRE. Engagement of the Lillian Tucker Company Commencing Next Tuesday Night. 'The Buckeye," a play of rare merit and full of rousing comedy, has been selected as the opening bill of the Lil Ian Tucker Comoanv. which starts i week s engagement at the Academy of Music Tuesday night. The company is a good one and has a number of spe cialty artists. The Danvi le (va.) tress says: "The Lilian Tucker Company which is now filling an engagement in the city has proven a pleasant surprise to trreatre goers, as is attested or in large audiences that nightly witness the performances of the company. The company is .running strictly on its merits and the low prices of admission to its performances, has not lowered it lr the eyes of the public. The company Is really one ot the best that has appeared in the cit lliis season, though it is hard to make most people believe any such thing oi any thirty cent entertainment. The company Is good as a whole. M'se Tucker in the freedom and ease of her acting and Mr. Vaugh in his transformations from pathos to humor and vice versa are worthv of Bpcial ir.cntion. As "Jack Mason" i-i tb "Golden Giant" and the tramD in "A Hero in Rags," Mr. Vaugh had tne feelings of the audience under his con trol during the entire lay wd his acting throughout shows genius and conscientious effort." Monday night ladles will be admitted free. Seats can now be obtained at Kink's. Prices 10, 20 and 30 cts. THE WEATHER. For Raleigh and vicinity fair tonight and Sunday. The barometer is high over the entire (Country, east and west of the Mississip pi. Continued cloudy weather and northeast winds prevail on the south Atlantic coast, Indicating that the storm out in the Atlantic ocean still has some influence. The rainfall has been very smalt . A little rain also oc curred In the west, but generally the weather was clear throughout the south' and in the northwest.' The tem perature has not "changed materially. The winds are light and variable. -PRESBYTERY TUESDAY. " The 'Albemarle Presbytery will con vane In the Presbyterian' church of this city next Tuesday. About thirty six delegates will be present. This Presby tery embraces thirty three counties. .'(.COLLEGE 0TE MartW-H of Interest About Students at the A, & M. Collg- (Reported for the Times-Visitor.) The hustle and excitement of school opening is over and the students have settled down to their work quite well. The opening has been auite auspi cious. The registration has passed the two hundred mark already, and yet each day new students arrive. And many of these have passed examina tions for advanced standing. The prospect seems good for a foot ball team. The best sincekarahltrhoug ball team, the best since '95 Messrs. Judge Whitaker and John McKee will do some training for us. I. B. Tucker is manager for team. The military department has not been organized, all awaits our instructor, and In the present situation the gov ernment seems loath to uetach officers from their commands. An effort is being made to secure Maj. Wilder of the Second Regiment, who is a first Lieutenant in the 25th Regular Infantry. He is a North Car olinian, and would be admirably suited for the place. The students sincerely hope he will be detailed. Dr. Curtis, the newly elected pro fessor of Biology, will arrive in Octo ber to take charge of his department. Dr. Wiehe is still very sick with ty phoid fever at Hendersonville, where he went to spend the summer. Many of the students attended the reception given bv the ladies of the Tabernacle Baptist church to the col lege boys, and those who attended voted .t a very pleasant occasion. The health of the students is very good. Many good sanitary changes have been made. The hospital equip ment is being added to and Mrs. Car roll gives her undivided attention to the health of the boys, and we hope the changes made will prevent any se rious sickness. The food is excellent and well pre pared. A model bakery has been establish ed at the college, and all the students seem very happy and everything looks as though this would be the most pros perous year in the history of the col lege. And if a good equipment, dili gent professors and instructors, a board of directors zealous for the best inter ests of the college, and a body ofcon tented students will make a college thrive, then the friends of the A. and M. need have no cause for fear of a grand future. CURIOUS CUSTOM. Graves in Onslow Countv Dug After Body is Carried to Cemetery. Mr. Pulaski Cowper has returned from a business trip to the extreme southeastern part of the State. " learned of a peculiar custom which ex ists in Onslow count;'," remarked Mr. Cowper yesterday. "I was informed that whein a body Is interred there the grave is dug after the remains are carried to the cemetery. My informant said that recently he was asked to act as pall-bearer at the funeral of a child. The pail-bearers carried the body to the cemetery, plac ed the casket upon the ground and then proceeded to dig the grave while the relatives of the deceased stood by patiently waiting. This custom is said to prevail In Onslow county." , HAPPY NEW YEAR. Stores of the Hebrews Closed Until Six P. M. Today.
