Thomas, on North McDowell street was filled with guests to witness the marriage of his daughter, Miss Evelyn Briggs Thomas, to Dr. Herbert T. Aydlett, of Elizabeth City, N. C. The rooms were decorated with roses and other bright autumn flowers. In one corner of the parlor a bank of tall palms showed a rich dark green in the glow of the electric light. A few minutes before eleven Dr. J. W. Carter, of the First Baptist church, took his place In front of these palms. As the bridal party entered from the hall the strains of soft music under the skilled touch of Miss Sadie Duncan floated from the room opposite to the happy scene In the parlor. Miss Estelle Timberlake and Dr. Wil liams, of Reldsville, entered the parlor first, and Miss Elizabeth Briggs with Mr. W. T. Harding preceded the bride and groom.

I presents were numerous elegant and lasn-fl, and were a lighi manifest.'!! r, the esteem and friend ship for tie Inkle in this, her native. city. SHOW BILLS. Street Pictures Which Are Not Attrac tive to Many People. A certain attraction has been billed throughout Raleigh and, while it Is not probable that any ladies will witness the show, yet, in the opinion of many, there will be nothing inappropriate in a man's attending. However, the point we wish to raise is this: "Should bills representing scenes from a show which ladies do not wish to see be posted about the town where they are in full view of the women and children?" "Nothing Is wrong, but thinking makes it so," and, while these pictures, which are really no worse than many others, may not do harm yet they are, to say the least, certainly distasteful to a large portion of our citizens, and It is a question if such pictures should be forced upon their feaze. A city cannot be run like a Sunday school, for the simple reason that wolves can't be governed by the regu lations of the lamb fold, but, in the minds of many, Raleigh would be more attractive if such bills were not posted. THE GREAT MISTAKE. (Communicated.) The Morning Post commenting on the the action of Acting Mayor Powell n dealing with Frank Williams, colored. for inderent and profane language on the street is just and correct in a man ner, but when it suggests that instead of ten days on the road, the Mayor should have given Williams six months, it loses sight of the law, which makes the limit of imprisonment by the Mayor "0 days. Hut the Mayor had the power to try such a case as -Mayor under the ordi nance for loud and boisterous, indecent or profane language on the street, and indict such punishment as comes within his jurisdiction, or, he could have tried the case under the common law of nui sance, as ex-ofricio justice of the peace. and bound the defendant over to the Superior Court where more severe pun ishment could be meted out to such of fenders. Another matter leading to many of fenders going unpunished is the Indispo sition of citizens to report violations of law and their reluctance at being witnesses. It Is very hard to get citi zens to testify. In many cases applica tions are made for criminal warrants with a request that the party inured and applying will not he used as a wit ness. This Is very wrong and very of ten Is the reason warrants are not is sued. THE MINSTRELS LAST NIGHT. The Cleveland-Wilson minstrels play ed to standing-room only. The George Wilson combination met an apprecia tive Raleigh audience at the Academy last night. It is enough to secure a rousing good house to let It be known that George Wilson is really here and will appear for our people know he is a whole show by himself, and all the other attractions are something extra for their money. The show In all its parts is a good one and particularly en tertaining was the Troubadour Four. They won great favor from a very se lect audience. E. M. Hall and his banjo are elegant. John Queen's song, "Hab its On," is a stunner. Keno and Welsh grotesque acrobatic comedians, broughjt down the house. The whole perform ance was chaste, highly entertaining and added new laurels to the already immense popularity of George Wilson, who will always receive a most hearty w elcome in the City of Oaks. A UNIVERSAL WAR. All Natio .s Prepi'ing for l lie Struggle. A:NGL-SAXrX FUCE The Nation' Bugle Pmig c.f ''iee the ( all to .rms k World N ide risis Iro rending Some time before war was declared between Spain and the United States, we published In the Times-Visitor, an article on war, stating that the United States and some foreign power would 30 to war during 1S9S. The Idea was ridiculed by the newspapers. At that time the press and pulpit of Europe and America were actively engaged in promulgating world-wide peace. As our exposition of prophecy came true, and now that the war between Spain and the United States is over (or supposed to be), prophecy Indicates another war cloud. This one has been gathering slowly for years, and is now appearing on the sky, and will soon break in awful fury n the shape of A UNIVERSAL WAR. It seems strange that a war-cry should be raised now, when the whole world is agitated over peace. As It was before, so is it today. All the powers of the world are now considering ne gotiations for peace. The Czar's re markable proposition to all Europe for a general disarmament of the nations has caused universal discussion. The I'ope of Rome has been busy of late , issuing peace bulls to the world. The j tendom is praying for peace. Peace congresses, peace alliances and peace 1 commissions, are being held throughout the world. Surely it looks as if the white-winged messenger of peace, is about to hover over the entire earth. But, alas! listen to the words of the j prophet, "In the last days they shall be crying peace, peace, when there Is no peace." "When they say peace and safety, sudden destruction cometh." The nations' scheme for universal peace are not In accordance with the Divine programme, and the cry of peace by the nations today is the devil's bugle-call to arms. Let us calmly look at the other side of the question. At the present time there is an universal agitation among all the Mohammedan tribes in Europe, Asia and Africa. This is caused by the fact of their recent victories, which have aroused the ambition of the entire Islam world. The great question with the Mohammedan is, shall we control the world, or the "Infidel Christian?" They believe their prophets, and are now saying, "the day has come when they can gain the victory over the Chris tians." 1 '01 centuries all Europe has been dreading a call to arms of the "veil hundred million Turks and their allies. When this "holy war" is de-i-Iai'eil an awful time may be expected. Another cloud arising in the East, is Russian aggression inChina. ;n-at Brit ain and other nations sootn determined to get the lion's share in the partition of the Chinese empire. England and Russia will soon go lo war over this I'liiie se question. It has been browing for a long time and must come. It is only delayed now awaiting greater pre paration before tilt1 crash occurs. Eng land and France. Russia and Turkey. Spain and the I'nil.-d States ail those nations are wranggling w ith each other, to say nothing Willi the strninod condi tions in Egypt and other part of the world. In addition to this all Europe is astounded at the wonderful work lately aivomplshed by the Amcricin guns. The Sultan of Turkey lias order ed similar guns for himself. England has recently appropriated seventy-five million dollars for the purchase of war ships. Yes. all nations are preparing for war, not peace. The greatest of all war clouds is not perceived by the cas ual looker-on. It is a mist that is slow ly but surely forming, almost unno ticed, that is, the Anglo-Saxon alliance. This alliance Is creating more furor on earth than all other questions com bined. Great Britain and the United States this potential aggregate the like of which the wolrd has never be fore seen. They are now standing to gether; w hat comb nation of te Powers can resist them. The United States in point of war power is strongest where Great Britain is weakest, and weakest where Great Britain is strongest. Anglo-Saxon unitv Is due race affinity. The two nations will soon unite in ag gressive warfare, not for purposes of conquest merely, but to make future wars impossible, by commanding the peace of the world with power to en force it. The final aim of this alliance will be the maintenance of the internal and external security of the Anglo Saxon race, together with the freedom and Independence of all races of man kind confederated for the enjoyment of civil and religious liberty. Yes, this universal war will be the most remarkable military contest in the history of the world. It will be strictly a war of nations. War is the last ar gument of kings. Nothing is so terrible as the arbitrament of the sword. For nineteen centuries the time has been foretold when swords should be beaten into plowshares, and spears into prun-ing-hooks, and nations learn war no more, but there are crimes which are beyond the reach of private justice. The Anglo-Saxons are the ministers of eternal justice. We draw the sword to avenge the wrongs of the Ifelpless. Our cannon speak for those who are voiceless. Our flags float above our armaments on land and on sea, as an assurance alike to tvrants and their victims that the creed of humanity Is civil liberty, which alone can bring about the brotherhood of man, and the the world's peace. The world struggle Is now on. The Anglo-Saxon race with its religion from God, with its civilization carrying lib erty to the oppressed, strikjng the shackles from the enslaved of earth, is pitted against the Latin, Slavonic and heathen races. Against continen tal Europe and the lands and provinces peopled and dominated by them, stands the Anglo-Saxon people, a race whose progress is unequalled in the history of the world. We have reached the climax ol the world's history of distinct nations ac--ording to prophetic chronology, which history is predicted to end in universal war. According to prophecy all nations have their allotted period. The destiny of each nation so conforms to prophecy that it appears as if nations have shap ed their destiny under divine superin tendence. Therefore we must admit and accept prophecy as true, especially the fulflilled, and if this, then the un filled must logically come to pass. The complications involved in all the foreign powers indicate a critical time in this mighty movement towards uni versal war. The peace excitement may hide for awhile the war preparations, but the onward march of events will reveal the moving hand, if the Bible Is being fulfilled, and we shall be able ere soon to see the approaching cyclone. The times from our standpoint are ominous. They are overwhelmingly ter rific, and no one can fall to see, espe cially those who have given the matter any study, that the present hour Is one that is laden with momentous forebod ings. With deep reverence and discretion do. we Investigate the words of Inspi ration, and whenever we offer any thoughts upon the interpretation of Prophecy, we seem to hear the voice that bade the wondearing prophet, "Put off thy shoes from off thy feet; for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground." For we realize that no sub ject presented to the human mind im poses profounder reverence, greater caution and deeper research, than an elucidation of prophetic truth concern ing the destiny of nations.

Solomon said; "Thoie is nothing now under die sun;" but if lie were alive today he would be knocked a "twister" to bo introduced to the many marvelous things that people of this day have come to look upon as commonp'ace. History doe" not make any mention of curenses and menageries in the days of Solomon's reign, and naturally the supposition is that if any existed they were of the most ordinary character. If Solomon could return to earth now and visit the Forepaugh and Sell Brothers' Cir cus, snd see one of its many new fea tures, be would do like our Congress men and Senators when they want the record of their speeches changed re vise his rash statement. If Solomon and his one thousand wives should visit the circus and take their placs on the reserved seats they would undoubtedly attract much attention, and should the Queen of Sheba enter the menagerie she would in all probability become the cyn osure of all eyes.
