IN MEMORIAM.

We, your committee, do report as
follows:
another hand is reckoning us,
Another call is given
And CLOVIS once more with angel-steps
The path which reaches Heaven.
sour young and gentle friend, whose smile
Made brighter summer hours,
Amid the frosts Of autumn time
Has left us with the flowers:
''No paling of the cheek Of bloom
Forewarned us of decay;
No shadow from the Silent Land
Fell round our sisters way.
''The light of her young life went down,
As sinks behind the hill
The glory of setting star
Clear, suddenly, and still.
''We miss her in the place of prayer,
And by the hearth-fre'saight;
We pause beside her door to hear
Once more her sweet Goodnight. ~
With what force and reality come
these lines of the poet
How shocking and yet how sugges-
tive are the dispensations of PrOvi-
dence
His dispensation has been among
us. Our ranks have been despoiled.
Another gentle and sweet soul gone
powerful personality is silent. The
grave holds her fast. Death has
claimed her for his own Mrs. Marie
De Sinclair is no more. The faculty
and students of Livingstone College
do resolve:
LIST. That in her denth is lost, to
the Institution, a devoted, efficient,
and untiring worker in the promotion
of its interests to the instructors a
congenial and noble associate; to the
students an accomplished and exem-
plary teacher.
IDLY. That while we bow in humble
submission to the will of Him who
''doeth all things well," We feel
profound sadness in the loss of our
associate and teacher.
3dly. That we extend to the be-
reaved husband tenderest expressions
of coincidence, and pray God that he
may be sustained in this his hour of
deep grief.
ResOlred, further, That this report
be published in the Star Of lion, the
CHARLOTTE MESSENGER, and the Ten
nessee Star.
Respectfully submitted,

SAYINGS ABOUT RALEIGH.


The people around and about the
capital city are in the midst Of great
excitement over the arrival, this morn
ing of the two fraudulent bank Off
Gals, Cross and White, from the
boodler's paradise, Canada. Before
their leave of this icy cline many
doubts were maintained by the citizens
of their return to this country. After
all it is through their own courtesy
that they are at the demands of our
court. District Attorney Busbee
signed an agreement that they would
only be tried for three forgeries, and
not for havingin custody stolen money.
Yet these men have stolen more money
than all the ninety-six of those Ne
groes in the State of North Carolina
together. The State Bank is COM
pletely gone, and on its door can be
seen the sad inscription, closed. A
stranger not cognizant of the fact in
passing might think it was a national
or State holiday, and the officials were
out on a bird hunt.
The editor of the Outlook, w. b.
Hunter, has rendered his resignation
to the manager of the Outlook, which
has been accepted, and he will no
longer be responsible for what appears
in its editorial columns.
The teachers are making extensive
preparations for the reception of the
teachers from the different parts of the
State, who will attend the State
Teachers Association.
Politics are somewhat on a boom in
the different wards of the city, and
each political leader is closing up his
columns for the grand contest, which
will soon be in our midst.
We notice in the last issue of the
Wilmington Bulletin very severe
criticism on the editor of the Cape Fear
Advocate. While this may be true
about his deceitfulness (and your
humble servant would dare say not),
it seems that when we see one of our
race possessing such principle as pub
lished by the Bulletin, instead-of push
ing him down the hill, we should en-
deavor to elevate rim. Remember the
Negro has already 43, 900, 600 of An
glo-Saxons behind him, and against
him, either politically or socially. 1t
is proper to 60 to the man-not write
him up in such manner We've
sorry to see such noble mind as the
editor of the Bulletin possesses stoop
to notice such articles as often appears
in the Cape Fear Advocate..
The Charlotte MESSENGER is hailed
at the Capital as one of the greatest
Negro journals in the country. Smith
indeed. is powerful editor-not only
an editor, but financier in the news
paper business.
We hope Prof. E. 4. Smith is salts
fed, having received that recognition
so much desired by him. He has been
a candidate for the Mission since the
days of Hopkins. Success to him.
Hope Taylor's fees will not run him
home.

ALL SORTS.

r Aid. Erwin is getting to be a regular
dude. He recently appeared at the city
hall wearing stand-up collar and a
necktie.
The Evening Star speaks of the hope
full scion of James G. Blaine as s'no-
body" Now where is William Henry
Eustis.
Johnnie Mann will retire from the ring
as quail eater, and will pay no atten-
ton to challenges. He is married and
will retire to the privacy of domestic
Life, while Ajeeb will probably be kept
for future generations to play checkers
with.
Speaking of nuisances, the man who
never knows where he wants to sit at
the theater, and will keep a line of i'm
patient people waiting while he argues
at the box office with the ticket seller,
should be put on the list. He never in

''Unlucky number. Well, gimme that

On, yes, rs wasn't it?' Then he spends
minute or two more fumbling for his
change. At the Peoples theater it has
been actually necessary to place an iron
railing around the box office to prevent
the crowding, which Manager Sterling
says results largely from the delay oc-
casioned by people who take so much
thought of their own comfort and SO
little of that of others.

FACTS FROM THE FOYER.

"Othello" was presented to a fairly
large house at the Grand opera house
last night by Louis James and Marie
Wainwright. Mr.. James conception OF
the Moor is dignified and polished, and
Miss Wainwright, Desdemona. has
passed into stage history. The support
was satisfactory. It's pity that these
sterling artists are now attracting
larger houses. Tonight Hamlet will
be presented, Mr.. James as Hamlet, and
Miss Wainwright as Ophelia.
The sale of seats for the Easter COM
edy week at the Grand opera house
opens tomorrow morning at the box
office. !
Easter week at the Grand will be filed
by Arthur Rehan's Comedy company in
Augustin Daly;s latest successes,
Nancy 81 Co." and Glove in Harness.
The toilets worn by the ladies ir Ar
thur Rehan'S company are dreams of
elegance and loneliness. The famous
ladies' tailor Redfern, of New York and
London, is the designer. 1t is worth a
visit alone to see 1.-THE Waters" cos
tune worn by Miss Adele Waters in
''Nancy d Co.." designed by Redfern
himself, which in all probability will be
the fashion in New York this winter.
The sale of seats for the Apollo Glee
club concert opens this morning at the

DEALERS ARE BUOYANT.
Dry Goods Men Look for an I'm
usual Spring Trade.

Unless the present signs fail and the
outlook is deceptive. the coming spring
will be unusually bright and profitable
in all lines of business. Jobbers are
especially hopeful, reports from the
country being very encouraging and
retailers are of course buoyant over the
prospects of coming spring. GLOBE
reporters yesterday visited the principal
jobbers and retailers Of dry goods and
their views of the spring outlook are
appended:
& Lothman-lndicatlOn are favorable
to good spring trade. Of course, it
will not be rushing, for it never is in the
spring. There is nothing to make it so,
you know, for the rush is always in the
fall. Collections are getting better all
the time, as the snow goes away. Of
course, when the roads and railroads
were blockaded farmers could not get in
with their produce, and that made
things bad. But now that the blockades
are raised, everything is coming out all
right. We have nothing to complain of.
q. Fl. Partridge, of Wyman, Mullen
& Co.-Of course the blockades have
interfered sadly with the trade and
with collections, but taking everything
into consideration business is good and
rapidly growing better. In fact, it is
now way ahead of it at this time last
year. Our men now out on the road
send in encouraging reports and say
that there will be a big April business.
There is one thing that pleases us, and
that is to see the farming community
getting in better shape. Long credit is
no longer asked, am glad to say, and
our outside collections are much better.
MI. Rowan, of Barnes, Hengerer,
Demond & Co.-Trade with US is good,
and is constantly getting better. We
hope for big spring trade, and feel con-
fident that we will get it. Of course,
the blockades and the severe winter
generally have interfered with our out
side collections.
Max Segelbaum, of Segelbaum Bros.
Our spring trade is opening up as rap
idly as we can expect, and l must say
that it promises to be larger than for a
good many seasons past. Of course,
the vast amount of snow now in the
streets hurts all of us to some extent,
but just let that go off and you will see a
big business done everywhere.
j. 81. Wheeler-Our late spring makes
business a little duller than it other
wise would be. but we look for much
better things soon.

IN SPITE OF ALL.
The Shortage OF Water Power
Made Up BY Steam.

The Northwestern Miller in its issue
of to-day will say: The water was lower
than usual last week, and the water
mills as rule allowed their product to
fall off. Those using steam, on the
other hand, ran stronger, and the flour
output for the week showed consider
able of gain. The total production
was 1913, 750 Understanding 20,625
daily-against 100 barrels the pre-
vious week. and al, $50 the correspond
ing time in 1887. So far the water
power has not been improved in the
least, though year ago there was an
ample quantity for all. The weather is
pleasant to-day, however, and hopes
are entertained that spring has actually
set in. The same eight engines are still
in service. There are sixteen mills in
operation, those using water entirely
having as much trouble as ever from
low water and ice. The stronger posi-
ton of wheat has given flour better
tone, and buyers seem more disposed to
pay prices formerly asked. Most mill
erS report fair demand from the East,
and that foreigners are bidding higher.
Prices are held about the same, but are
firm. The direct exports of flour for tho
week were 1880 barrels, against Al zoe
barrels the week before.

& Co.-Can't tell anything about it;
wait until this snow goes and we can
see the green grass again.
S. E. Olsen, of Olson & Co-Well,
there is most too much snow in the
streets at present to tell what our spring
trade will be, but if it goes off soon we
will have such trade as we never had
before.
L. S. Donaldson. of the Glass Block
We look for good spring trade, taking
everything into consideration. Of
course, this snow keeps us back some,a
but that difficulty will soon pass away
Hale, Thomas d Cove cannot conf
plain at the way our trade opens up this,
spring. We do wish that the snow
would go, however.
Craig BroS.-We are perfectly satisfied
at the way things are going. Every
nice day we have all we can do, anti
what more can we ask.

LOCAL PLEASURES.
Church and Musical Entertain
meuts Given Last Evening.

Church and Musical Entertain
ments Given Last Evening.
The Murphy Temperance club gave
pleasing entertainment last night IN
their new quarters to celebrate the open
ing OF the same. The room, which is
very spacious and well-lighted hall ON
the first floor of 245 Hennepin avenue,
was crowded by the usual motley audi
enceS that assemble at temperance
gatherings; nor were they disappointed
last night. as the programme was
a capital one, which everybody enjoyed.
Mrs. Williams sang in charming man
ner, as likewise did the Misses Lulu
Clark and Maud Hicks. Edward Timm
gave harmonic solo; Mrs. Holt cor
net performance that was well received;
Mrs. Charles C. Pate, wife of the presi-
dent of the club, added to the pleasures
of the evening by a pleasing recitation,
and was followed shortly after by MISS
Florence Milburne, who also gave reel
tatiOn that was well received.
The GOunOd club gave their third con-
cert last night in Dyer's music hall,
The attendance was very large and the
performance rendered smooth and
satisfactory one. The Carol club made
their first appearance.asopranos' Mrs.
w. B. GrosskOpf, Miss Susie NJ. May;
altos, Miss Julia T. May, Miss Gertrude
Sprague. The programme was
principally of a sacred nature
including, as it did, "The Lord Is My
Shepherd" Schubert: GAS the Heart
Pants" Mendelssohn, etc. The con
Guiding number, "The Songs OF the
Vikings" flaming, was given in spir,,
tied and happy manner and elected
great applause. Charles II. Morse con-
Quoted: Mrs. II. w. Gleason acted as
pianist. 1t may be noted here that at
the last concert the club will give, on
May IL, there will be produced for the
first time in America Gounod's last great
work, The Mass to the Memory of
Joan of Are" with accompaniment for
organ, brass instruments and harp.
The entertainment given last night at

cessful event, and rebounds greatly to
the credit of the artists engaged. Mira

A FEW CORRECTIONS
Made in the Interests of Peac
and Harmony All Around.

Made in the Interests of Peace
and Harmony All Around. q
Some of the trustees of the First Free
Baptist church claim to be highly in
dignant at an article in the Sunday
GLOBE in relation to the resignation OF
Rev. j. j. Hall, the pastor, and its ac-l
ceptance. The cause of their indigna-
ton they seem rather unwilling to
state, preferring to hold meeting this
evening for the purpose of properly and
forcibly setting their indignation forth
in ringing resolutions. In fact, some OF
them seem to glOat over this indigna-
ton and treasure up the anticipation OF
unloading it in dignified preambles OF
whereas and whereas, followed by a
whitening resolution. One of the trus-
tees objected very strenuously to the
publication of Sunday, and when asked
what was wrong with it. said it was
wrong from first to last" but declined
toparticulariZe. Estate the facts and
they will be published as a correction,"'
was urged upon HIM, but he declined.
mo- he said, 1--WE prefer to make our
statement at the proper time" This
same trustee was heard on the motor,
last evening, to eXhOrt brother to be
sure and present himself at the meeting
tonight, to take part in the denuncla-
tory resolutions.
1t would appear that the objection is
that an impression was conveyed that
the board had not acted fairly with the
resignation, or else that the statement
was incorrectly made that Rev. Hall had
requested more salary and had made the
advance condition of the continuance
of his relations with the church. AS to
the last, there is no diScredit in min
lister requesting more salary, as even
the most devout eXpounder is human
and must live. but if this is Objectiona-
bic, the customary grOveling recantation
is made. If it is the first objection, the
statement is made that it came from a
member of the church and not member
OF the board ard is his mistake. The
board is SuperSenSitive over it and can
easily set itself right if it chooses.
There may also be objection to the
statement that Mr.. Hall was considering
a mercantile venture Or opening. One
of the trustees remarked that differ
ence existed between mercantile pur-
suits and business engagements, init
mating that the latter might be the case
in this instance. If this is the cause OF
the indignation; if it is the startling
distinction between mercantile and bus
mess life that has caused the wave OF
indignation, the correction is hurriedly
made, with an AFFECT abaSement, and the
offending reporter suitably rebuked.
