The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1889-05-16

A good story is told of ex-Gov. Jar
Wis, while he was our representative in
South America. The emperor was
given a reception, and all the digni-
taries were invited. The other foreign
ministers went in their carriages, clad
in the regulation costume for such oc-
casions. Jarvis, to set an example of
American independence, walked to
the place on foot in his ordinary every
day broadcloth. He threaded his way
among the many carriages that were
crowding toward the festive scene.
With some difficulty he reached the
main entrance to the palace, where he
was stopped by the guard. He made
himself understood as being the Amer
lean minister and was admitted. He
paid his respects to the emperor and
then wandered out to the portico,
took seat in secluded spot, where
he began quietly to enjoy smoke.
Two of the attendants of the palace
came upon him and hustled him off,
and might have incarcerated him had
not the secretary of the American lega-
ton, who could speak the language,
come upon the scene at this moment.
He soon gave the natives to under
stand that this was the America II
minister, and he was released with
many apologies-N Y Star.

An Exciting Game at she Capital.
 The game yesterday between the Washing ton and Indianapolis teams goes on record as a victory for the visitors. When the Wssh- ingtons went to the bat in the eighth inning the score stood to in favor of Indianapolis and at the end of the Senator's half of the inning the seore stood Il to 9 in their favor. In this inning they batted Rusie very hard and as it was fast getting dark Captain Glass; cock wanted the game called and wasted at least fifteen minutes in arguing with the ums pire. Then the visitors refused to put the side out, but the Washington players accord- ing to the rules put themselves out by hitting the ball and rnnning out Of line. Three men were disposed of in this manner and then the visitors went to the bat to complete the inn~ ing. Denny, the first striker, claimed that he could not see the ball and McQuade allow cd the claim and called the game on account of darkness. This decision SO incensed the already excited spectators that they made angry threats against the umpire aud several excited persons attempted to mob him, but the police were too numerous and protected him to the club house. For time matters looked serious, but several arrests were made and quiet was restored.

was held in the First church. The old edi- flee was filled as it has been on all of the proceeding ocasions in the celebration. Els. worth Elliott, M. D., of New York city, pres sided. The first speaker of the afternoon was the president of the day, Sidney w. Leete of Guilford. He began by paying glowing tribute to Rev. MT. Andrews, pastor of the First church, for the untiring work he had performed in bringing the celebration to @ successful opening and continuation. Rev. MT. Bonnet and Rev. Mir. Banks of the Third church, were also highly praised by the speaker. After this he extended a hearty welcome to the thousands of visitors who had towns celebration. He spoke a good word for the people of Madison, whom he declared are Guilfords brothers yet. Some say there is not good feeling between us, said he. I say it is false. There is nothing between us but a little stream, and that is fast running away. We extend the hand of good fellow ship to them to. day as we always have done. Guilford is not old, he insisted. She is young and has renewed her youth.
 Lieutenant Governor Merwin was the next speaker. The lieutenant governor spoke with pleasure of the custom of anniversary celebrations and referred to the event of Milford's like celebration of its two hundred and fftieth birthday few days ago. If the present generation does not transmit what is handed down to us to future generation, then, he continued, we have lived in vain and are unworthy of the rich blessings which our grand government bestow. He referred to the zeal with which the bequests of the old factions of the country were protected when threatened in the sixties. believe in the present, said he, but more in the future When 250 years hence our descendants csle- brate their five hundreth anniversary they will look back to us just ss we do to our forefathers and wonder what change time will bring forth in ages to come.
