Darling'' at Staub's Theatre.
Hettie Bernard Chase will appear in
Metropolitan Hall tonight. She deligted
the Knoxville people, and the Herald of
that town says:
One of the most charming women on
the American stage is Hettie Bernard
Chase. She has fine talent and though
very young has already been remarkably
successful. The people Of Knoxville are
delighted with her as evidenced by the

night at Staubs theatre. She appeared
last night as Little Dar,' in "Uncle's
Darling the play written expressly for
her by Chas. W Chase Had DER repu
tation not already been established, her
successful appearance III this drama
would have placed her III the front rank.
She is as full of life as a cricket and
this fine character affords opportunity
for the display Of those traits Of charac-
ter which makes a beautiful woman ap
pear lovely. Though it is only acting
her heart and soul seem to shine through
it. Her songs, dances and banjo playing
captivateI the audience.

GOOD LIGHTS.
The Light Company Has Arranged
for n Fine Service.

The Light Company Has Arranged
for n Fine Service.
Raleigh will have in operation very soon
one of the best systems of lights in this
country. In addition to its established
plant, the Raleigh Heating and Lighting
Company, which provides the lights, has
just put in new, superb eighty horse
power en- inc, and dynamo for supply
ing 80 1000 candle power lights; and the
power is to be fused into the Lighting
power which the city has formerly had.
This is in keeping with Raleigh and
her enterprising business men. They
always show themselves equal to any
emergency--whent the emergency comes
and they always meet its demands.
The Lighting Company has determined
that Raleigh shall have the best lights
procurable- Raleigh always demands
and has the besD and they are putting
this determination into practical effect.
Now, the light committee will, in all
probability, recognize the petitions of
two or three neighborhoods in the city,
and the probabilities are that there will
soon be some additions to the lights
already in use.

Pleading Words of the Drummer
Evangelist.
Especial Cor. of STATE CHRoNICLR.l
MoRGANToN, n. c., Sept. 23.-On
Sunday. the 18th inst, ". P. Fife began
series of meetings in Morganton. The
\. NJ. G. Association had secured a tent,
with seating capacity Of 1900 At the
first service the crowd was estimated at
1900. Day by day it increased, till the
last day, when between 5000 and $500
people were under and around the tent.
1t was predicted that Morganton could
not be stirred. 1t was feared by the
most sangulne that No evangelist could
awaken the people; but they were
sorely mistaken. The glorious re-
suits showed it. Mr. Fife. as an
instrument in the hands of God,
gathered grand harvest of souls
for the Master. Through the influence
of the Holy Spirit he has filled the whole
atmosphere with a feeling of brotherly
love and religious zeal. New warmth
and new life have been impaired TO all
the churches, old feuds healed; bitter
enemies have clasped hands and have
praised God in unison. Restau-
rant men Voluntarily, and with
out reward, poured many kegs of
cider in the streets. Men and women
promised to quit the dance, wine parties,
progre ssive eucher and the like Drunk
ards, gamblers, distillers, and bar-room
keepers shook the coils of hell from
their hearts and gave them TO God.
He has intense sympathy for fallen
man, is full of love for them and full of
the Holy Spirit himself.
He presents the whole council of
God" and does it with such great ear
nestnsss, such pathetic tenderness that
it always wins. The truth, as be pre-
| sentS it, is like an IOnian column-it sus-
/ tains with its strength and charms with
its simplicity. He consultS alike the well
fare of man and the glory Of God, and
is burningly occupied with one grand,
| intense interest in the salvation of souls.
There were at least eight hundred con-
versions. After paying all the expenses,
the good people OF Morganton and the
surrounding county gave Mr.. Fife 5000
in cash, and on Sunday night Mr. Fife
raised $4,000 for the purpose of building
a Tabernacle and J. NJ. G. A. Hall.
Our people are all in love with the
drummer Evangelist" and earnestly
pray that he be spared many years to
work in the Masters vineyard.
Very Respectfully,
G. (. MCKEssoN.
