Good ShSepherd Church to hold a Re union in February, 1899. There was held last evening, in the! Church of the Good Shepherd, a busi ness meeting of the congregation of that j church to receive the annual reports of 1 the of fleers and societies. The meeting was well attended and I the announcements made by the various I organization were exceedingly gratify ing 10 all present. The treasurer of the church made his annual report showing that after meet ing all assessments ami paying in full at. expenses of the past year there re-j mnins in the rrensnrv a small filirnlus. He stated that not only had the necessary $10,000 (for beginning work on the new church) been contributed, but more, and the mark had been passed liy a neat sum. A resolution was presented by Mayor William Russ, authorizing rthe vestry toj begin the work of erecting the new building as early as practicable, and to push the work to completion.

THE MIKADO AGAIN' TO-XIGHT. The"' Last' Performance at the Academy This Evening. The great hit which, as confidently predicted, the- wteitM. made in the Mikado" last, evening .insures another I representative 'audience.' The box sliieel is at. King's and scats are only 50 nud' 2ft I cents, with no exitm -hurge tor re serving. Remember this is the last performance and also that the Rex Hos pital is the beneficiary. Be sure to s'cure a seat aim see and nmt tne brightest and' best work done in this et.v '' nmatouis. As a matter of history it may be in teresting to know that the Mikado Is the common title of the eniH-ror of .lapun. The "term, said to 'mean grand palace, was formerly applied to the puliice of the sovereign, but for a lonjs perhxl. it hiid bwn used to designate the official heiul, of the nation. Th Mik.ido clninit 1o have descended from the divine beings who created the world. He has no family annuo, does not take that of any previous Mikado, and th name by wiiich lie is known in history is selected after death. The first Mikado began to reign about B. C. (KiO; and l'Xi rulers, of .whom 11 were females, have occupied the throne, ttiid it is -laiuied that during the 2,5001 years the line of descent bus is'on an ),roj.cll The present Mikado, Mutsuhito, wa horn in 1852, and' crowned in 18(58.

CHANGE OF OPINION Many Peace Prophets Ap- O I peared Today. . ' .x f BIG GUNS GO THROUGH SENT FROM NORFOLK TO FORTIFY THE CHARLESTON HARBOR. No Unusual Activity at Adjutant hen- eral'3 Office-President's Mestige Disappointed PeopU'.Who Have Watched the Situation. The war talk continues, hut the peace prophets-are now in the majority. The old' story of "I told yon so" can. be heard all over the streets and one would scarcely believe that there was even h war prophecy made in Raleigh if he could hear those who are now claiming to have believed from the first that there would bo no war. This morning when the Seaboard Air Line fast freight paissed through Ral eigh there were five cars' attached) car rying from the Norfolk Navy Yards eight mortars and one 12-inch 28 foot gun to be placed1 in position at Charles ton, S. C The mortars occupied four of . the cni;, two being placed on each and the 12-iuch gun 'had a car-all to itself. The cars used for this class of freight are necessarily the largest nnd strongest owned by tne system anu tne Dig gun appearance was most formidable. The volunteers to- the Governor began the lottor-writiug again yesterday, and it is probable, now that peace seems more probable, that another consignment will shortly be ready for the public. There was no special activity to-day at the Adjutant Goneral'is office and only routine business 'was attended to. There' was more interest taken in. the bulletins of the Lo Flying Special ond its arrival at all stations than in any other feature of the day's war story, unless it be the report of the dead-lock iu the Foreign Relations committees of the Senate and House of Representa tives. ..
