CITY,"
One Of These Superb Works Can Now be

One Of These Superb Works Can Now be
Obtained Mt the Times Omce.
The bound volumes of 1.-The Magic
City," the superb series of Worlds Fair
views. issued from THE TIMES office,
have been received and can be seen at
the business Office of THE TIMES, where
they will be given in exchange for the
full Set of eighteen numbers and as cents
or Sl.5o additional, according to the
style OF binding desired.
The bound volume makes beautiful
work, appropriate for the parlor table
in any family and collection of series
OF views inestimable in value as a SOU
venir OF the great exposition, and as an
educator Of the people in presenting
concise Photographic views Of buildings,
exhibits and people of all nations, which
views are explained in an entertaining
way by the famous descriptive writer,
j. w. Buel.
The volumes are the PROJECTIONS OF
the bookbinder's art. There are two
styles to select from, one of rich
colored brown cloth, with the title en-
belished in gold upon the front; the
other an elegant affair in full Ameri.
can Russian leather, with embossed
scrollwork on front and back covers,
with the title in gold on the front and
back of the volume and the edges in
gilt.
The series OF views Is one worthy of
saving. 1t forms a collection Of pic
lures which will prove as INTEREST," ting in
the years to come as at the present
time. No one who went to the Worlds
Fai: at Chicago last season should feel
that he could be without q work of this
nature, and THE Magic City" is the
very best production that has bee pre-.
scented by any newspaper or publishing
house for the same money. 1t gives to
those who did not attend the very best
conception of the exposition that can
be obtained.
The price for the bound volumes barely
covers the cost OF the work of binding
only rs cents for tho cloth and S1.5O for
the leather bound volume. This is what
you have to pay in addition to the full
set OF the series to secure the completed
work and no time is lost waiting for it
to come from the BINDERS.
Remember that each of the eigh teen
parts must be in good condition to be
received in exchange. Soiled numbers
and missing parts will be supplied at
the usual rate of ten cents and one
coupon for each part.
Come in and make the exchange early,
before the large supply of bound vol
umes now on hand is exhausted.

DEATH OF eEoRaE 0. DENNIS.

Prominent A ttorney of Rocky Mount and
Member OF Law Firm Hero.
ROCKY MOUNT. May l5.-Col. George
G. Dennis. one Of the most prominent
attorneys of this section Of Virginia,
died ut his home at this place this morn
ing, after painful illness OF several
months with kidney troubles.
Colonel Dennis was born in Charlotte
county about Ga years ago, and in 1856
removed to Rocky Mount to practice
law. With the exception Of four years in
the late war, when he arose from the
ranks to the position Of major under the
late General Jubal A. Early, he has re-
sided here continually since. He soon
built up fine practice in Franklin and
the surrounding counties, and was
member of the Roanoke legal firm of
Dennis, Saunders & Saunders at the
time of his death.
Although Jealous Democrat and
prominent in the councils Of his party,
he was averse to seeking office. He was
devout Presbyterian and contributed
largely to the erection and support of
the church Of his faith at this place.
AS soon as Judge Dupuy, warm, per-
sonal friend, was appraised of the death
Of Colonel Dennis, he ordered that the
circuit court stand adjourned Tuesday
and Wednesday, and left for Rocky
Mount. He had often visited Colonel
Dennis during his last illness and spent
a portion OF last Sunday with him.
The funeral and interment, which
will be attended by number Of people
from this city, will take place this af
ternoon. Deceased is survived by a
wife.
Colonel Dennis brother-in-law, Rev.
DR.. G. R. Vaughan, of Prince Edward;
his nephew, Judge w D. Vaughan, of
Radford, and his neice, Miss Laura Den
mis-, went to Rocky Mount yesterday to
attend the funeral.

THE negro crank who made such a
scene in the gallery of the House OF
Representatives Monday proves to be a
we'll known figure in Washington circles,
he having for many years run four
wheeled vehicle about the streets upon
which he carried passengers to all parts
of the city. He is not unknown in police
circles either, having at different times
manifested as crazy ideas s'came over
him in the House on Monday. HIS re-
cent outbreak was evidently in harmony
with the idiosyncrasies manifested by
Coxey, Brown, Jones and others of the
commonwealers ilk.

THE SERVICES CONCLUDED.

Rev. Edward Heyle Delk Delivered an
Eloquent Address at st. Marks Last
Night.
The series of opening services of St.
Marks Lutheran Church was concluded
last night with an address by Rev. Ed
ward Heyle Delk, of Hagerstown, Md,
to the young peoples societies of ST.
Marks, rs we'll as of the other churches
in Roanoke. The congregation, while
not large, contained young people from
every Christian endeavor society in the
city.
The service was held under the aus
pices Of the Augsburg League Of Chris.
tian Endeavor of st. Marks Church.
The music was special feature and re.
flected much credit on the splendid
choir and on the director, Irwin j. Long.
The speaker of the evening bssed his
remarks upon this pass age of scriptures
twist ye not must be about my
fathers business"
The address, which was in fact SER
mon, was a very fine effort, eloquent in
the extreme and forc;hle and logical all
the way through. The whole discourse
was magnificent exposition of the
aims and duties Of young peoples
church societies except at one point,
when the speaker went off on a tangent
and gave Col. w. G. P. Breckenridge
severe dragging over the Goals.
He spoke as 8 Southern man and he
could not ses how a Southern State
could 80 far forget the glorious tradi.
tions Of the past as to send back to the
national councils such aself confessed
criminal, while there were so many
good men and true. The speaker at one
time also alluded to the leader of the
commonweal, General Coxey.
At the conclusion of the address the
congregation was lead in prayer by Rev.
Oliver G. Miller.
The union evangelical services will
be held in this church to night and will
be continued here throughout the week.

AN EVENT which will undoubtedly
bring rich return to the South in the
form OF newspaper advertising for some
time to come was the annual meeting of
the International League of Press Clubs
held in Atlanta, Ca, the first OF the
month. Composed, as it was, OF active
and prominent journalists, the outcome
of their trip is now being written up in
leading papers Of tho North, East
and West. AS these representatives
were given the usual hospitable South.

beauty of the country through which
they passed and had the opportunity OF

and farming localities OF the Sunny
South land, they could but be favorably
impressed with the advantages of this
grand region of our country. Already

from the pen of the gifted writer, Murat

THE H1LDA VERNON COMPANY.
Last Nights sAudience Small, But the
Play. Was Good.

Play. Was Good.
1t is one OF the difficult parts of an
actors life, it Is said, TO play to empty
houses. This the Hilda Vernon Com
pany, now under weeks engagement
at the Academy Of Music, were almost
obliged to do last night. The perform
ance was good, but its merits were for
the most part lost on empty chairs.
Those who were present showed their
appreciation Of 1.-The Gypsy Queen" and
the members OF the caste who produced
the play.
Vivacious little Miss Bernice Navarro
had part in which she was allowed an
opportunity to display her talent, while
Miss Vernon WAS by no means less ac-
than she had been on the preceding
night. H. Stuart Raleigh played q
double role that of Gilbert, game
keeper, and Cheap John, auctioneer,
and showed keen sense of appreci-
alton of the demands of both parts.
Ishmael the Wolf. one OF the Italian
gypsies, is one of the strongest parts in
1.-The Gipsy Queen" and Fred V. Sauter
appeared to very good advantage in this
role. Emily e. Sautel made q very good
gipsey boy in love with Starlight Bess.
Tonight the sensational and patriotic
melodrama, IAN American Girl" is to
be presented. 1t deals with American
life in Bolivia, where the hero of the
play, who is obliged to leave his en-
ployer in New York on a trumped up
charge Of forgery, is again pursued by
his enemies, and is about to be shot as
1.-The American Girl" folds "Old Glory"
about him and dares them to fire upon the
American flag.
Saturday q matinee for ladies and
children will be given, to which all
school pupils are admitted for 10 cents.

ROCKY MOUNT MATTERS.

An Appeal by Both Sides In the Decisio n
on the Question of County OFFICERS Paw.
ROCKY MOUNT, May 15.-As was
anticipated in this correspondence, the
judge of the county court promptly de-
cided to allow the county officers q
small amount as annual salary to cover
vast amount of work for which they
are not allowed to charge fees. The
amount, however, is reduced from $500
to $3.50.
An appeal was taken by both Sides
This is unusual, but IL is fact. The
amount involved being less that $500

THE Republican Senators have held {

THE Republican Senators have held a
caucus on the tariff bill. 1t took place
at Senator Sherman's residence on Mon.
day night, and from all reports it is evi.
dent that the views OF the plan of pro-
cedure best for that party to pursue were
as varied as there were men present to-
express their ideas. What worried them
the most was the fact that there was no
assurance of any Democratic support in
opposition to the bill. Perhaps they
might count upon Mr.. Hill. Of New
York. He is the only kicker thus far
recognized.

The committee On appropriations of
the House OF Representatives should
have no hesitancy in acting favorably
upon the request of the promoters of the
cotton States international exposition
that the Governmcn5 appropriate $780,
600 for the erection OF building, and
5000, 600 for tho preparation OF an ex-
hibit. which, according to it's ex :
tent. shall be as worthy as was
its exhibit at the Worlds Fair.
The Cotton States, like the Chicago
exposition, aims to be more than q
local affair. Its principal object will
be to show the Mexican, Central and
South Anne rican governments that the
United States can offer more induce
ments for their trade than can Great
Britain and Germany. With such an
object in view tho United States Gov
eminent should by no means fail to give
its recog nition of the exposition to be
held in Atlanta, Ca, in 1895 and assist
in promoting it's success by making the
appropriation called for.
