"PATIENCE" REPEATED.

1t Was in Many Ways More CreditabIy Pre-
sentcd Than Upon the First Occasion,
The aesthetic opera, Patience, which
was so creditably presented last month
by local amateur talent, assisted BY
Petersburg and Salem soloists, for the
benefit Of the Roanoke Light Infantry,
was repeated at the Academy of Music
last night for the benefit of Roanoke's
new military company, the Machine
Works Guards.
The cast was essentially the same as
upon the arss perform snce, Charles E.
Graves being the only change, he hsv-
ing pcrsonated very scceptably the part
of Grosvenor, which was so we'll taken
by Mr.. Walker, of Richmond, upon the
previous engagement. The return Of
Miss Taylor and Mr. Friend. OF Peters
burg, in the parts of Lady Jane and
Bunthorne, was a source Of much pleas
ure to every one, and their work last
night was the great feature of the pre-
sentation.
The piece was as whole oven better
carried out than upon the first occasion,
but last nigh they lacked the large audi
ence but not o less demonstrative audi
ence which then greeted them. Tho
principal parts taken by the prominent
Salem and Roanoke soloists were again
most admirably sustained.

NO HEARINGS WILL BE HELD

The conference of Democratic Sena.
tors, members of the finance committee.
at meeting held yesterday morning,
decided not to have hearings upon the
tariff bill. Chairman Voorhees, argues
we'll when he states their reasons for
not doing 80. He says prompt and
speedy action on pending tariff leglsla-
ton is required at this time by every
patriotic and business consideration
The majority OF the finance committee
charged with the responsibility of tho
pending measure intend that no delav
shall occur which it is possible to avoid
he says that they are determined that
business men of the country OF all
classes shall at very early day have q
full and clear insight into the laws of
tariff taxation which shall hereafter
prevail. A claim, however, is now made
that whoever may wish to do so must
be allowed to come before the fnance
committee and make speeches to them
in regard to each and every particular
interest affected by the tariff.
This claim is without limit as to
numbers, and if granted to one person !
must be granted to all. One Senator
alone asks that five hundred be heard
from his State. 1t is also unlimited as
TO time and becomes, therefore, in the
hands of the opponents of tariff reform
an instrument Of delay, indefinite in
duration and far more formidable and
emcient than the worst form OF filibus.

St. Louis Globe Democrat: The Will
son bills lease of life after enactment
will last no moro than four years at the
longest and it may end in three years.
That ia, to say, the Republican Presi-
dent who takes his seat on March 4,
1897, may call the Repu blcan Congress
which begins at the same time in
special session and repeal the law in
that year.
The Democratic party should realize
before it is too late that the above
prophesy may be more or less correct if
they insist in pushing the Wilson bill,
as it stands to-day, through the Senate.
The sooner the notifications are made
and tho bill passed, the better it will be
for the country and the longer the bill
will stand. Mckinley's bill was put to
the test and found wanting. The pres
ent Administration has the opportunity
to perfect tariff measure which, when
tried in the balance, shall not be found
by the side OF that high protectionist's
bill. Will they do it? is the question.

Tho Distinguished Ex.President of Prince.

PR1NcEroN, Nov. 16.-Dr. McCosh
died at 10 o'clock tonight.
Or. McCosh had been unconscf GUS
nearly all day and died In that condi.
ton. His son, DR.. And rew J. McCosh ;
his daughters, Mrs. David Magic and
Mrs. Alexander Maitland, and his wife,
Mrs. Isabella McCosh. were at his
death-bed. He has suffered no physi-
cal pain, and aside from weakness
brought on by old age, has been in per-
feet health. His physicians attribute
his death to heart failure, induced by
old age.
Or. James McCosh was born in Ayr
shire, Scotland, in 1910. He became a
minister OF the Free Church Of Scot
land, and about 1852 professor Of logic
at Belfast, Ireland. Among his works
are 1.-THE Method OF the Divine Govern
ment, Physical and Moral" {lS50},
"The Intuitions OF the Mind Inductive.
" Investigated" (1s80). and Examine
ton OF Mr.. J. s. Mills Philosophy"
(lSB6),, and in conjunction with DR..
George Dickie, OF Belfast, "Ty pical Forms
and Special Ends In Creation" (1S60).
DR.. McCosh was a worry clear as we'll as
profound thinker, and threw valuable
light on some Of the abstrusest ques-
tions OF the philosophy OF the human
mind. At the earnest invitation of the
trustees and other friends of Princeton
college, New Jersey, he came to America
in 1868 and assumed the Office Of presl-
dent in that institution, to the pros
perity OF which his name and influence
appear to have given new impulse.

Arcn1soN, KANSAS, Nov. 16.-Con-
siderable suppressed excitement which
may end ia a lynching, has been caused
here by the brutal acts OF negro this
morning. Between $3.50 and $3.50 o'clock
al unknown negro entered the homes
OF four highly respectable white ladies
living within four blocks OF each other
and outraged them.
The tlend was evidently acquainted
with the habits OF the male folks. as at
each place they were absent at the
time. The victims are Mrs. Michael
Cain, Miss Rosa Cain, Mrs. Grossman
and Mrs. Benjamin Poston. Searching
parties arc looking for the negro in
every direction and most summary
justice will surely DO melted out to him
If captured.
It was finally learned that the fiend
was Tom Collins. negro hostler
from Fort Leavenworth, who had been
in Atchison the past three days on q
spree. he was traced to Leayenworth,
arrested and brought back here
this evening. He was secretly taken to
