One of .the lady managers of the hos pital writes the Observer that the man Atkins, who was spoken of in vester day's Observer as having left the hos pital too soon and beinir cared for in the Tombs, left in the night of his own aceora ana was not missed by the doc tors. He had been in the hospital a day and night. He was taken in charge by. the police, says the lady writing the Observer, in a wild condition, he being addicted to drink. When he is suffi ciently recovered for ordinary treat ment, she writes,- he will again be re ceived at the hospital. The- Observer's notice, as all who read it will recall, made no reflection on the hospital. It distinctly said: "He had. been ill at the hospital and left there too soon." There was nothing said of the doctors dismissing him, nor is suca implied in iDe sentence quoted aoove. , . Are Ton a Prophet or the Son of ":: i.

OF WORK. DBATTIKG," MOULDING AND CARTING What tbe Sight daaaes of the Associations ; Are Doing In the targe r ClUes Mr. Hodge and Bis Splendid Exhibit-The -Object. "The community has great reason to be thankful to -sir. Hodge, who repre sents the International Young Men's Christian Association, for his exhibit of educational work done- la 33a associa tions of the United States and Canada. The reception iroom ;f tthe hall Is entirely filled with the samples of work. Tbe associations have been quick to see tnexpportunities in this direction, and have been- progressive ; in extending facilities, from a merely commercial course, to instruction ; in languages, to medicinal and scienunc, matters, and finally Ut free drawing and -workshop practice la wood and metal work. The elegant tea which introduced the subject, .and for - which most hearty thanks ks are due the ladies, was greatly Terr ""-"- i en Mr. Hodge then introduced the sub ject of class work and laid it open by some graphic statistics of the need of such night instruction and of tbe progress which cad oeen made. After be bad discussed the matter Mr. J. I. Chambers discussed the sub ject from a manufacturer's standpoint. tie was followed ; by Mr. - Tessier. oi Tessier Brothers, contractors, woo bad himself been the recipient for two or three years or precisely such training. and was very hearty In his commenda tion or its value and possibilities. Tate ExniBrr Illustrates a few of the practical lines of work in industrial science, commer cial and language lines now offered in the evening classes of .the Young Men s Christian Associations of the United States and Canada. Fully 330 Associa tions have these 'night schools and are educating young men. Wew lork has Z.UUU young men studying in her Classes, Chicago Central Branch ws, with other cities in proportion The work is precisely as it came from tbe . class rooms or the various associa lions, and when exeouted was not in tended to be thus publicly seen; hence it is free from the characteristic prepa ration generally found in such produc tions. There is seen in this exhibit sam ples of the written review exercises in the commercial, science and other sim ilar subjects. There are also exercises in free hand, mechanical and archi tectural and industrial drawing, lead ing toward such technical lines as ma chine construction, boiler making.'car riage drafting, wood and metal work ing, civil, mechanical, architectural and electrical engineering. One who has not seen the exhibit will be sur prised at its completeness and the nicety of arrangement. As Mr. Hodge said, "We are practi cal and are aiming to help young men to stand alone to help themselves." In other words all of the classes are designed to make the work of the stu dents practical. In the exhibit is a set of plans for a dwelling made by a student in the Day ton, Ohio, class in architectural draw ing. A house has been built from the plans and the general secretary lives in it to-day. Grand Rapids, Mich., sends one original design for furniture. Fifteen young men last year had their salaries increased on an average $15 per month as a result of proficiency gainedin the furniture designing in the night classes of the association there. Mechanics will be especially interest ed in the exhibit, embracing as it does so many branches in which they are especially interested. Mechanical draw ing forms a large part of the exhibit, it being at the base of all industrial pur suits. The three years course at Dayton, China, and that at Washington and a two years course are among the best courses in the country. Persons who do not take this oppor tunity of seeing a practical illustration of what it is possible to do in evening education classes will live to regret it if they endeavor to keep pace with the times. The exhibit is entirely free and is attractive to all persons, young or old. 'Cyclists Dr. Roach has joined "the army of wheelmen. He made his debut on the "Yellow Fellow " Mr. W. F. Dowd is tutor.

She Was the Mother or Mayor Weddlngton or Thu tnrj. Mrs. Katherine Black died yesterday morning at 12:15 o'clock at her home at Mt. Zion. near Caldwell's Station, after a brieMllness. ; . Mrs. Black was 70wears of age.She had been in poor health for some' months, but was not seriously sick. She was taken suddenly ill Thursday, and passed awav that night. - Deceased's maiden name , was Kath- erine Lucas. She first married Or. 8. N. Weddlngton. To them were born four children J. H. Weddington, the present mayor of Charlotte, Joseph Y. and JJ. T. weddlngton and Mrs Mack Cannon. Some years after Dr. Weddington's death, Mrs. Weddington married Mr. Black. He died several years ago. Deceased was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and a woman noted for her kindness of heart, good deeds and many fine womanly qualities.

"Our Church Tidings" has this in re gard to the Second Church Sunday school picnic: ' "A train has been chartered for a pic nic for our school at Barium Springs on Wednesday,.! uly 17th. To defray expen ses a small chare: e of 25 cents for small children and 50 cents for the larger ones and for adults will be made for tickets. Parents and friends of the children are invited, as also the children and friends of the other Presbyterian churches This is where our Synod's Orphan's Home is located. But very few of our Charlotte Presbyterians have ever seen it or know what is to be seen. It is most excellent place for a picnic. Let all who can, prepare well-filled lunch baskets, as we wish to have a spread dinner around which all may assem ble." The train will leave the Southern passenger station at 7:30 a. m. on Wed nesday morning, July 17th. Tickets can be secured at any time upon appli cation to Col. J. B. Rankin, B. W. Bar nett, A. C. Hutchison or J. J. Adams. ONLY OSB BEAT. The Greensboro Club Has Forgotten How to Count. The rumor has gone abroad that the "Blue Shirts," of Greensboro, have secured a battery from Richmond This is denied by the club in Thurs day's Record. The "Shirts" claim to have beaten the "Quicks for two years with their home battery, and feel sure they can do it aeain. The Observer doesn't believe that a bit. The Charlotte "Quicks" have too long been champions of the colored diamond to let the Greensboro boys pocket that gold mine now on exhibi tion in Farrior's window. The "Quicks" have got their dander up and the way they'll lick those nine men from Greensboro will be a caution. Everybody is delighted that "Col." Pete Murphy is to "empire." He is not only a good ball player, but a dead square fellow, and both sides will get "jestice." ESCAPE AND CAPTURE. A Woman Who Could "Hang; John Brown on a Sour Apple Tree." John Brown, colored, escaped from the stockade Thursday night. He was caught yesterday morning at Matthews. He said he was assisted in escaping by Alice Marshall, colored, who Jives in Cody Town; that she brought him citi zeis' clothes on the evening of the 10th. 'rfquire Maxwell accordingly issued a warrant for the Marshall woman. It was proved that the woman was at home on the evening of the 10th, and had nothing to do with the affair. Brjwn. it seems, had accused Alice of making trouble between him and his wife, and told her he would see that she got where he was. He accordingly made up the story about the clothes. It is known to the officers who did furnish the clothes and the right woman .will likely be brought to trial to-day. Who'll Be County Physician? That great question which shook the county from centre to circumference two years ago, is to be repeated this fall, viz.: Who will be county physi cian? The election takes place on Septem ber 12th. The Observe u has heard several names suggested for the candi dacy, but no official entries have been made. Dr. Wilder is the present in cumbent. He nas not announced whether he will be a candidate or not She Has Large Connections Here. Misses Rosa Lemley and Emmie Lemley, of Jackson-,. Miss, spent yester day at Mr, E. 8. Steele's, en route to Virginia, to visit relatives. Miss Em mie Lemley is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Byron Lemley. Mrs. Lemley, some time since deceased, was Miss Ella Carson, so. well known and loved in Charlotte in former days. Miss Lem ley is related to Mr. Steele, Mrs. D. P. Hutchison, the Wilson . and Phifer families. She expects to return to Charlotte in October.

Indeed.- " . '" The Observer some time ago men tioned that Converse College had offer ed a scholarship to the graded schoor of this city. Prof. Graham is lately in re ceipt of a letter from President Wilson, in which he savs; "1 have three otner scholarships apportioned toNorth Caro lina, and as we seek character ana brains in students, not numbers. I know no school more worthy of them than yours, and they are at your disposal." i'ror. U rah am forwarded the letter yesterday to r School -Commissioner Smith, who is no less delighted than Prof, ciraham.' This makes nine sehol arships which the last graduating class at the graded school will get the bene fit or. - ' - Cotton Reports. . Reports of the cotton prop differ in different localities. Mr Tom Shaw, who lives near Charlotte, says the cot ton in his section is poor. Mr. R. Li, Long, from the border of Union, says it is unusually fine in his country. The acreage is said to be less than last year. The staple was not in evidence on the Charlotte market yesterday. It was "out of sight." Not a bale in. "There is no danger," said an old farmer yesterday, "of an over-production of cotton, but there is danger of an 'over-plush of. corn. 1 never saw so much corn raised in Mecklenburg be fore." " Proof Conclusive of the Existence of a Pre-Hlstorle Race. "Every time any one begins to die about the compress or freight depot," said the platform genius yesterday, "some relic of by-gone dsys is un earthed, which proves clearly to my mind that a race of people existed here prior to the time of basebail and bicyc ling. To-day," continued he, "the workmen digging the foundation for the compress unearthed some pieces of machinery about three feet below the surface, which must have been a part of the old Patrick press." Local Ministers' Conference. The North Carolina Local Ministers' Conference, 26th annual meeting, will be held at Rutherford College August 14th to 16th. President W. 8.

Mr. and Mrs. Verdery and Miss Verd ery were recently the guests of Mrs. Morehead. c Mr. Maclean's Invitation. Mr. Joseph Maclean received an invi tation yesterday to become a member of the Manuscript Society of New York. The object of the society is tbe preser vation of the manuscripts of Southern composers. Mr. Maclean is one of the leading musicians of the South, and every recognition of this fact can but bring pleasure to his friends. Widow of an Old Soldier Dead. Mrs. James D. Due died yesterday afternoon at the residence of -Mr. Geo. Veno, in this city. Deceased was the widow of James H. Due, of Columbia, S. C, Mexican veteran and pensioner, who went to Mexico as a member of the Palmetto Regiment. Mrs. Due baa a brother living near Charlotte. Where Rev. Mr. Hoffman WUI Live. Mrs. C. Lt. Hoffman has rented Mr. Chas. Keerans' house on North Church street. Mrs. Hoffman is still at the Holt place, but will move to her new home before Mr. Hoffman 'a return. A CARD. The statement that has been publish ed in which the Greensboro sports say they beat us two years ago is not so. Last year was the only year we ever plajed them and the reason they beat us was by bad decisions on the part of the umpire, Mr. Harkness, on block balls. He would not change his de cision, although shown according to the rules where he was wrong, but threat ened to put me out of the game, so we could not do any better. We will beat them as sure as they come to Charlotte, and, beat them fair and square, as Mr. Murphy, isa fair and square gentleman, who will see that each side gets what it deserves. Dick Stevenson.

The storms come and the timbers top ple and as the storm increases the weak er go down. Als tnany great oaks fall with a mighty crash. So it is withjtimes like these; the weaker tail. The dead weizht8 of credit won't bear much shift ing about.

"That is ; big difference' you say. Yes, and it came out of the pocket of consumers. Many congratu lations come baik to us for breaking this reign ot terror and opening the way where one and . all can get a dollar's worth of goods for a dollar. , Well, really our business ha grown into mammoth prt portions; it is fully 25 per cent, greater this year than ever before..
