Do the lower animals know how to play
gamest One remarkable instance would
seem TO show that birds in their wild state
Ego in for" organized romps, just like chill
dren at Christmas party Mr.. Andrew
Crosse the distinguished naturalist, was
one day looking out Of his study window
in house on the Quantock hills. From
this window he could see into courtyard
a little distance away, which was sheltered
by walls and was remote from any noises or
disturbances of any kind.
BY and by the naturalist saw robin
engaged in dragging the apparently dead
body of another robin around and around In
circle on the pavement. 1t looked just
as If the live robin had fought with and
killed the other and was INDUCING in the
cruel triumph of pulling the lifeless body
of its rival over the stones as Achilles
dragged Hector around the walls of Troy.
Just as Mr.. Crosse had come TO the conclu-
sion that the strange proceeding OF which
he was privileged to be the witness was the
termination of battle TO the death be-
tween two bird enemies, the live robin
suddenly stopped and threw itself on It's
back as though stark dead
Its wings were half distended and rigid
and it's legs upturned to the sky. Never
apparently, had there been robin more
dead than it was Meanwhile the Other
robin went through an exactly converts
transformation scene It had only beer
shamming dead. and now woke up into full
and vigorous life Selling on its feathere'
companion, it dragged the latter in its turn
all around the same circle, and repeated tn
process several times over. The conclusion
of the scene was that both birds flew of To
gether to some neighboring trees.-Londol

THE TRUSTEES IN CHARGE,
a Thief Discovered in Trinity Park
Recently.

From the Durham SUM-
The trustees now have charge of
the Trinity ground and few special
police will be sworn in to protect the
prop erty.
In connection with Trinity Park
we will say that few nights ago,
about 2 o'clock in the morning, some
one attempted to enter DR.. Crowell's s
residence out there. A noise of saw
ing was heard at that hour, and
Mrs. Crowell, appearing at an upper
window, inquired as to what was
going on. A man stepped back, and
upon second remark, he fell over
a pile of shingles and made for the
road. She did not fire, because he
had disappeared in the darkness.
Suspicion lad been aroused by a
colored girl appearing at DIR. Gro
Wells residence the morning before
to sell pound of butter, and while
there she took it upon herself to ex-
anime the doors and windows and
inquire if Mrs. Crowell was alone.
The next morning, as stated above,
the attempt was made to enter the
house.

Friday Night.

What Was Done at the Meeting Last
Friday Night.
The Cleveland and Carr Club met
Friday night in the rooms of Jeffer-
son Club and held very interesting
meeting. President Manly was in
the chair aud J. O. Foy acted as Sec
retary.,
The first business before the Club
was the report of the committee on
constitution and bylaws for the
management of the Club. Mr.. E. A.
Griffith, charm IN, read series of
bylaws as recommended by the COM
mittee which were adopted as a
whole with the exception as to the
time of meeting, which was changed
on motion of Mr.. E. B. Jones from
the first to the third Friday night of
each month, and empowering the
President to call a meeting of the
Club at any time at the request of
five or more members.
Mr.. Wiley Keith, chairman of the
committee on securing a place in
which to hold future meetings of the
Club, had no definite report to make.
On motion the matter was referred
to the President of the Jefferson and
Cleveland Carr Clubs.
There was some little discussion
over motion made by Mr.. Kerner
requiring applicants for membership
to present cards signed by them
selves before admitting them to
membership of the Club-suggested
by.Mr. Kerner as a safeguard against
the admission of improper persons
Mr.. Kerner finally withdrew his mo-
| ton.
The matter of Vice Presidents was
then taken up and the following
gentlemen were put in nomination
and unanimously elected: E. A
| Griffith for first Vice President; J. B.
Vogler, second; Henry Wooters, third.
The matter of employing a cores
ponding secretary was referred to

| point committee of three, whose
| duty it should be to select the names
of five members of the Club for an
executive committee to be voted
upon at the next regular meeting of
( the Club. The Club then adjourned
| to meet the third Friday in August.
There was quite number present
| and much interest manifested. The
indications are now that this Club
will be able to dc some very effect
i've work in the coming campaign.

Help Defray the Expenses-A Meet
ing Held at the Opera House On
Last Thursday When a Commit

Funds-CoI. Sutton Made Speech.
The ladies Of Winston Salem have
taken the initiatory steps toward
raising funds for defraying the
expenses of the Confederate Veter-
ans Encampment at Wrightsville.
The meeting announced to be held
at the Opera House at 4 o'clock
Thursday afternoon was attended by a
fairly large number of ladies and
gentlemen of the Twin-C City, all of
whom expressed an interest in the
effort to give the old soldiers in
North Carolina, who wore the grey,
few days of pleasure and recrea-
tion.
Maj. S. H. Smith, the originator of
the movement for Winston Salem to
lend u helping hand in the soldiers
encampment, introduced Col. Thos.
III. Sutton, who made most happy
ard appropriate address.
Upon the conclusion of the Colo
nefs remarks committee of ladies
was appointed from each town to So
licit aid from the citizens for the
proposed encampment. The follow
ing are the names of the ladies COM
| posing the committee.
Mesdames M. w. Norfeet, J. M.
ting, A. B. Gorrell, T. F. William
son, Misses Augusta Watkins, Jessie
| Brown and Delphine Hall.
Among the ladies present at the

Biting, M. w. Norfeet, J. M.
Rogers, I. f. Williamson, III. l.. Rig
gins, James r. Shepherd, r.

gusta Watkins and Delphine Hall.
The proposed encampment of old
veterans promises to be the happiest
and grandest event of the kind ever
given in North Carolina. Major
Smith has received letter from
Wilmington stating that preparations
were being made for the entertain
ment of 1000 old Confederate Vet
| Grams.
This will be a patriotic occasion
and the ladies of the Twin City want
to take a share of the patriotism by
sending handsome contribution to
the ladies of Wilmington who have
undertook the task of defraying the
expenses of the encampment.
The business men of Winston-Sa-
lem should contribute literally when
the committee calls upon them. THE
SENTINEL believes they will.

ion from Mr.. Cleveland to show his

1t is hoped that the following letter
has by this time reached the eye of
the Post:

lutions passed by the Cleveland-Ste-
venson Club of this place:

Sir: l desire to thank you for send
ing me a copy of the resolutions
adopted by, the Democracy of Mid
dlesboro, and do assure you that the
kind allusiOns to me therein are fully
appreciated. l do not wonder that
those adopting these resolutions
speak of the force bill as the horror
of Repulicanism. Such doctrines as
it embodies are a direct attack upon
the theory of our government, and
while such measures especially men.

THE SALEM CLEVELAND CLUB.
An Important Resolution Adopted al
the Meeting.

the Meeting.
The Salem Cleveland Club met Thurs
day highland grew enthusiastic over
Cleveland's recent letter to Colonel
Sutton.
The following resolution addressed
to Capt. Chas. Buford, chairman of
the Democratic Executive Committee
of Forsyth county, was adopted.
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this club, that an early campaign in
Forsyth county, this year would re-
dound to the advantage of the
Democratic party.
"That the county executive COM
mittee be requested to call the
county convention of the party at as
early date as practicable
THAT a committee of three be
appointed by the President OF this
club to present this resolution to the
county executive committee, and
submit Herewith the reasons, es
they appear to the club, for holding
an early convention.
In accordance with the above a
committee consisting of Jos. Brad
field, R. w. Belo and HI. E. Keehln
was appointed to submit the
esolution to the the County Demo
ratio Committee and urge the
Importance of complying with the
request contained therein for the
following reasons:
1st. The Democratic party, by
reason of it's platform and candidat.
es. and by reason of recent occurren-
ces in Pennsylvania and elsewhere
tending to verify it's utterances, is in
the best possible condition for wa
ging an aggressive campaign-a
campaign of thought, education,
and patriotic sentiment.
2nd. That this is presidential
year, and on that account it is not
likely that the interest in the contest
will in any wise abate before the
election.
3rd. That it is the best under the
circumstances to put our candidates
iii the field at once, in order that
their position, and that of the party,
may be discussed and understood by
the people to the fullest extent-the
true object of campaign being to
do missionary work for our cause,
and not merely to elect this or that
man to Office.
Speeches were made by Col. SUIT
ton, Mr.. Bradfield, Mr.. Taylor and
Mr.. Crist.
