THE DAILY TIMES.
TUESDAY, - - March 1, 1898.
THE WEATHER.
For Raleigh, and Vicinity: Fair to
night and Wednesday; warmer.
Weather Conditions. Thp storm on the
middle Atlantic coast has disappeared.
A new depression extends from northern
Texas to Minnesota, with the lowest
pressure at Davenport. A little rain
has fallen in Texas and snow in. the
Lake Region.
It was snowing this morning at Char
lotte, but generally throughout the coun
try east of the Mississippi the weather is
clear and cold.
"A GILDED FOOL."
Mr. Edward P. Elliott will give the
closing entertainment of the star course
to-morrow evening. As an improvement
of the latest plays Mr. Elliott stands at
the head. It has been said that Mr.
Elliott ds to the platform what Joseph
Jefferson 'and Sol Smith Itunsell are to
the stags. Prominently the best exiio
ueiit. of pure, wholesome comedy. His
work as an 'impersonator, and his pro
ductions as mediums of entertainment,
hve won etich universal praise from
press, public, clergy and literate as to
secure a position iiiiquestionel, and now
rank with the great platform features
of the day. Mr. Elliott impersonates all
the characters in "Dollars and Sense"
or a "Gilded Fool" and in so original
and artistic a manner as to ever add
otlwtiveness in the platform presenta
tions, and to class them as creation
identified with himself and impossible of
'litation or reproduction. ; Mr. Elliott
will add two short humerous selec
tions after the i'mpersonaltion of "A
Gilded Fool." The Wilmington Messen
ger says: "To give even a faint idea, of
the pleasure of this kind of entertain
ment when in the hands of one like Mr.
Elliott Would be a vain task. Tis sud
den transitions are too real to believe
them capable of onep erson."
To-morrow evening will lie the closing
event, of the Course. Patrons may get
their tickets at W. H. King's drug store.

MAY MODIFY RATES.
Is Uie North Carolina Railroad Commis
sion Weakening?
The Seaboard Air Line system yester
day, as printed in the Times,
filed exceptions to the recent order
of tlho Rairoad Commission fixing pas
senger rates at 2 and 2 cents on the
Raleigh and Augusta, Raleigh and Gas
ton and Seaboard and Roanoke divis
ions of its system.
The exceptions are the same for each
of these divisions. They set forth:
1. That rhe old rates (2 and 3V4) do
not yeild more t'hian a sufficient return
upon the capital invested, being bnrelj
sufficient to pay the actual cost of
oeratioti, reasonable interest upon thf
funded debt, and not sufficient income
to pay any dividend; and that the re
duction will probably result in a defi
cit. '-.
. 2. That the determination of the Com
mission substantially requires the road
to carrry passengers without reward, un
der pretense of - regulating fares, and
amounts to taking private property for
public use without just compensation
and without due process of law.
3. That the reduction is Arbitrary and
made without any complaint and without
hearing any evidence to show that the
old rates -were unreasonable or that those
proposed to Ik- fixed w'erc reasonable
and just; thait the determination was not
only without evidence to support it, but
in disregard of the evidence offered be
fore the board, showing that the re
duction was unreasonable, amounting
to a confiscation of property.
4. That the new rates will lhave the
effect of compelling the railroad to carry
on its business of transporting passen
gers at a loss.
The otlher roads ou whicli reduction in
rates were made the Wilmington and
Wei don end the Southern have not yet
filed exceptions. They have until Thurs
day to do so. i
It is expected that the Southern, it
its exceptions are over-ruled, will sue
nut an injunction in the Federal court,
based on the ground tlhat the new rates
amount practically to a confiscation of
its property and t&erefore impairs the
obligation of contracts. V
It may be pretty safely predicted that,
when, argument on the exceptions is
heard, a material modification will be
made in the new rates. They will be pui
iback up ait least J4 of a cent and possi
bly Vi a cent.
It ta well known, that Dr. Albbott op
posed any reduction at all. Commission
er Pearson favored a reduction but lie
thought the out (made was rather too
deep. Chairman Caldwell for cut
ting deep. His ideas Were adopted;
but they will hardly allowed to
stand if the railroads can how, as they
clnim .tfhey can, that the reduction will
malce it necessary to operate at a loss
It is equally certain that tlhe old rate
will not be restored, even MiOHgh (Jot.
Russell wonts it done in order to makt
It. possible for him to carry through
(lit scheme for teasing the Atlantic and
North Carolina 'Railroad to the South

A PINE HEALTH RECORD.
Only Three White Citizens of Raleigh
Died During February.
Already Raleigh has become famous
for its wonderful health record. Few
cities, of the same number of inhabi
tants, can show a record equal- to that
made by the 'City of -Oaks during the
past year. And this year is starting out
even better. Never was there a better
January report than that made last
month. The health of the people of the
city during the' month just ended was
aluo very good.
Health Officer Sale has kept the city
clean audi in excellent sanitary condi
tion. His report for February shows 10
deaths t! white and 13 colored. Of
those who died 4 were under five years
of age and 5 were over seventy; in other
words 50 .ver cent, of the total number
of deaths occurred at the expected age.
Of the six white deaths, three were
not citizens of Raleigh, but were visit
ing here and were sick when they ar
rived. 1 1 will bo observed by reference to the
reports for the fiscal yeans ending Feb
ruary 28th, 1894,-'95-'96 and '97, that the
aver.!.ge number of deaths for those
years .was 292. wihiile for the last fiscal
year, ending Feb. 28th. 1S98. we have
had only 205 deaths. This is a de
crease in our death rate of about thirty
per cent. This is a very remarkable
sibowing. and is something that this city
should feel very proud of.
Bit ths were reported for the month as
follows: Whole number, 43 white, 2.'!;
colored 20.
Contagious diseases were reported as
follows: .Measles 30 cases.
