LEGISLATURE MAY MKEff.
Frankfort, Feb. 1. Latex. The politi
cal situation is apparently unchanged and
is difficult to thoroughly understand.
There is little prospect that the Repub
licans will yield their offices. They make
no threats and are exceedingly cautious
in every statement made publicly.
It is possible that the Legislature may
be allowed to meet, but this is the sub
ject of conference and conference the
results of which have not been announced.
It is denied this morning that General
Oastleman, of Louisville, has been ap
pointed Adjutant General.
CITY STILL GUARDED.
Frankfort, Ky., Feb. l.-It appears
that the armed soldiere in Frankfort
hold, at least momentarily, the key to
the situation.
If they continue to obey the orders of
Acting Governor Taylor he will control
the situation as he now holds it Should
they decide otherwise they might seat I
the Goebel men in power.
The soldiers are in a quandary. They
are awaiting developments and are care
ful to avoid making rash assertions on
either side.
Republican office holders made a state
ment today to the effect that they had
no idea of resisting the Governor, if
they only knew who is Governor. Other
things being equal, they state, they will
stand by Taylor.
The situation rests as it was this
morning, the excitement 'being suppress

Mr. B. N. Duke, of Durham, is al

of the orphans. Yesterday he gave the
Methodist Orphanage here his check for
$1,000. He also made a proposition to
give $5,000 more, on condition that the
Methodist Conference raises $20,000 for
the orphanage. The Conference accepts
the proposition and will work in the most
active way to raise the money.
NO NEGRO DELEGATES.
Charlotte, N. C, Jan. 31. It is stated
by a Republican newspaper editor that
it is the purpose of that party to have
no negro delegates to the State conven
tion, and in fact that there will be very
few; that the negro is to be kept in the
background as much as possible.
It seems that all agree to this but Con
gressman George H. White, colored, who,
it is said, is inclined to make trouble for
the white leaders.
The negro congressman is a candidate
for re-election, and Republican politicians
will insist that he confine his political
speech-making and other operations to
his own district.

hered to by the Students.
WINSTON .. IHcWoPohNaAOkrf.
Dr. George T. Winston, President of
the Agricultural and Mecuanucai Col
lege, was in Raleigh today loosing after
the interests of his institution. Speaking
of th work how in progress at the insti
tution, Dr. Winston said;
"The work of the college during the
year has been very encouraging. The
young men have shown a remarkably
tine spirit, both in their general behavior
and in complying with. Uie peciiic regu
lations of the college. The institution
has been placed under rigid military dis
cipline, and a great many tulea have
been put in force requiring each student
in the college to pertonn promptly and
punctually about hfteen duties daily.
These various requirements huve been
met by the young men with remarka
bly cheerfulness and fidelity.
"The Senior Clans has performed the
many onerous duties of comuubsioned of
ficers and to them belongs in a high de
cree the credit of the succeaslui work
uf the session. They keep order in tne
building, inspect the rooms about five
times a day, and report generally any in
fractions of the regulations. 1 feel both
personally and aluciuiiy very grateful
to the students of the college and espe
cially to the cadet officers, for their
most valuable assistance in promoting the
interests of the college and securing its
development along proper lines.
"The work of the college is distinctly
industrial. The institution is in no
sense a preparatory school for some other
institution. It furnishes a complete edu
cation, giving about two-thirds of the
book instruction furnished at the best
colleges and universities and in addition
to this excellent training along P'imi"!
and technical lines. It instruction in
English, mathematics, chemistry, phy
sics, history, botauy, zoology and lik sub
jects will compare favorably with that
given in other colleges. In some of the
lines it wiil probably challenge compari
son with the best. The inatrpctiou in
sheiuistry and physic) is both .general and
special, looking to the training of young
men for chemical professions ami for
work in electrical engineering, in addi
tion to the above subjects there is a
very exteuded course of instruction in
mechanical engineering, beginning with
work in the carpenter shop, the lathe
shop, the blacksmith shop and the free
hand drawing room, and extending
through pattern designing, machine shop
training, boiler and engine study, hand
ling and construction, and designs in
bridge building, architecture and the
like.
"The Textile School we hope to see
fully organized at an early date provided
with a separate building, equipped with
all of the machinery essential to a com
plete textile education. When fully
equipped it will furnish textile education
such as the college now gives in other
lines, including special education in tex
tile work. It will furnish instruction to
two distinct classes; first, young men who
desire textile as well as a complete gen
eral education; second, to those only
desiring special textile training. The
former class will remain at
the college four years and re
ceive diplomas on graduation, like oth
er students with the degree of Bachelor
of Science. The latter will remain one
or two years, as may be necessary, will
not graduate and will receive no degrees.
"The age limit of admission to the col
lege has been raised to sixteen years and
the sub-freshmen or preparatory class
has been abolished. The college intends
to be out of competition with prepara
tory schools and with other colleges not
furnishing technical education. While
its charges are very low, making the cost
of education cheaper, probably, than at
any other college of equal equipment, yet
it does not seek students who desire
merely a cheap education, nor students
who desire merely a good general edu
cation. Its mission is to furnish indus
trial education together with a good gen
eral education, along agricultural, me
chanical and textile lines. Students,
thereon, who do not desire industrial
training along any of these lines are not
received into the college.
"Every afternoon and every Sunday
morning the whole college is engaged in
some line of technical work, chemical,
electrical, mechanical, agricultural or
textile. It is a beautiful sight to see
the young men at this work, one that
is full of hope for North Carolina. It
means that we are going to manufacture
out raw material into shapes that will
bring us the largest profits, that we are
going to imiport raw material from other
States and get profits also from manu
facturing it, that we are going to train
our own boy for this great work, that
we are going to build up cities and towns
for manufacturing purposes all over that
State, that this growth of industries and
population, not agricultural, will be the
salvation of our farmers, who will find
iwofitable home markets for their perish
able produce and will not need to com
pete with India and Egypt and South
America and the Mississippi Valley and
the wheat fields of the Northwest in
raising, frequently below cost of produc
tion, such staple crop as have to be sold
in the market of th world.
"This Is to be the destiny of North
Carolina and the college will be a fac
tor in working It out. It will do this work
with a full realization of ha Importanc
, and with tro devotion to th interest

SUNDAY CRUSADE IN NORFOLK. "
Norfolk may be bad. In the forcible
language of the street it may be a wide

slums of the city and one of them has
told in a sermon aud otherwise what he
saw, beard and inferred while lifting the
lid of the human sewer. Now, of course
everybody is un advocate of charity, so
briety and honesty. Nobody can ap
prove of these acts which not only defy
the statute laws of State and city, but
breaks the moral laws offered all citi

They can't be suppressed. No city can
be made holy. There never was and
never will be a community of sinless
and absolutely law-abiding persons.
They would not be human. If that is
what the ministers of Norfolk who have
been slumming expect to accomplish,
they will not only fail but they will do
harm. In the first place they advertise
crime at home and give a bad name to
the city abroad. Is their game worth

extract taken trom Uio Uosiuu ueraid,
wnicn devoted over two columns desciio
ing tnis one dance aioue:
"in the stage presentation, out of im
penetaroie darauess, gradually the grace-
rui ouUines of the dock tower appear
against the background ot the say. In
winch, stars twwaie and glimmer nere
and there slowly the great clock dial
begins to grow luuuoua in the strange
uncanny light that comes from some mys
terious source, and soon the spectator
seems to see through the dial aud to
realize that behind it a vision, so indefin
ite as to be like Uie spirit of a dream,
is gradually coming into view. Slowly
it takes a definite form and Uie figure of
a fair young girl, in soft white diuging
draperies, with rich auburn tresses and
like the form of an artist's model, and
a face of truly spiritual beauty, cornea
into view bathed in a flood of strangely
brillinat light.
"With graceful gestures and sinuous
movements, she removes the veil that
has covered her face and begins to turn
Uie great-minute hand of the clock to the
hour of 12. As it reaches that poiut
the sweet, deep tones of Uie chimes
break tbe almost oppressive silence; and
while they slowly toll off the midnight
hour the fair girl remains motionless as
a statue over whose form a weird succes
sion of colored light play one tint melting
mysteriously into another. As Uie last
stroke of 12 die away, Solaret grace
fully restores her clinging draperies aud
the beautiful vision melts and fades from
view so slowly Uiat the spell-bound spec
tator scarcely realizes the fact until once
more the faintly lighted clock dial is seen,
and that in turn, with the old clock-tower,
grows thinner and thinner until it, too,
is gone, and on Uie stage remain only
Stygian darkness.
"But with Uie spectator remains an In
effaceaable memory of a beautiful vision
the like of which no stagecraft before
has produced; and the impressivtness and
fascinating charm of the picture are
such that the spectators sit in almost
breathless silence until the liv-.-'.y strains
of the firmament dance are l-ad aud
arouse them to a realiauon that they
are in the midst of real I'.ts again, when
the applause breaks forth is worthy ot
the consummate skill and ingenuity that
have contrived this most beautiful scenic
picture that the modern stage' has creat
ed." The Supreme Court will next Mon
day examine applicants for license to

that there will be between 40 and 50
applicants.
