GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Novelties are scarce, originality is
nearly exhausted and the public has
tired of the same old thing under a
new name. The Telegram is new,
and the press has already pronounced
it a good farce comedy, replete with
strong specifics, beautiful music
and screaming situations. This play
has been written by the young author,
Mark E. Swan, to suit the talents of
that bright little commedienne, Jessie
Mae Hall, who, in childish parts, has
no superior on the American stage.
This little artist will be we'll remem-
bered for her clever work on previous
occasions. The last time she appeared
here was in a Barrel of Money Her
new part gives her an opportunity TO
display her versatility both as an ac-
tress and vocalist. o. w Hall, the
leading comedian, will be seen in the
part of Hungry Higgins, a result of
the panic.

1t was decided to operate the farm grant
ed the Institution by the Legislature Of

the city and contains 100 acres. The
vegetables, dairy products and other
things raised on the farm cost the Insti-
tuition about 81, 900 year. By running
the farm on an economic plan the Trus
tees propose to save a good amount of
money usually expended for farm pro
ducts.
Mr.. w. H. Rand, of Rand's Mills,
Wake county, was elected to succeed Mr.
J. G. Grimes as steward. The vote be-
tween the two gentlemen was tie being
three three. The chairman cast the de-
Gliding vote, which elected Mr.. Rand.
A carpenter was to have been elected,
but this matter was left to the commit
tee on buildings and grounds with power
to act. The committee is composed of
Mr.. B. F Montague, chairman ex officio,
and Messrs. Proctor, Briggs and Herring.
Mr.. Chas. L. Highbayer, of Clarks-
burg, Md, was elected foreman of the
mattress and broom department. Mr..

mended.

MRS. LEWIS LAID TO REST.

The Burial Took Place at lakewood
After Impressive Services at Christ
Church, which was Filled With
Friends.
The funeral services Of the late Mrs.
R. Fl. Lewis were held from Christ
Church Yesterday afternoon at . O'Clock.
The exercises were conducted by the
rector. Rev DR.. NJ. M. Marshall, assisted
by Revs. |. NICK. Pittinger and Bennett
Smedes
The church was filed with people, and
the procession entered promptly on the
hour.
The ceremony consisted simply Of the
reading of the bible-lesson and Of the
formal service Of the Church, all which
was profoundly impressive.
The hymn was sung, Lead Kindly
Light" accompanied by Miss Maekay at
the organ. "There is Blessed Home"
was touchingly rendered, the occasional
being ASLEEP in Jesus"
The rich casket. almost humanized
with the profuse offerings of ferns and
roses that had been placed upon it by
loving hands, was accompanied by the
following pail bearers: His Excellency,
Governor Elias Carr, Messrs. Thos. S.
Kenan, r. 7. Gray, Hugh Morson,
Charles Root, A. B. Andrews, James /.
Johnson, DR.. James Mckee, DR.. A. W.
Knox and Mr. W E. Christian.
The services at the grave were con-
Quoted by Rev. DR.. Marshall, and the
bereaved relatives together with a com
pany of near friends gathered about the
last resting place of this noble woman
so deeply lamented.
The afternoon was one of hallowed
calm and balm, suggestive of the sweet
life of the deceased that had come to
those who knew her as breath of sum-
mer and fragrant blossom, but the
blossom had been blown away.
Almost as the casket was being lower
ed into its narrow house, the strip of
cloud in the west flushed with blush
of rose, and then, as if in an instant, the
evening star sparkled out singly in the
pale afternoon sky.
1t seemed symbolic of the new spirit
that had entered,-
ga spirit melodious, lucid, poised and
WHOLE"
and thus like the cloud, may grief be
softened by the greater light.

NO ARMED ESCORT ALLOWED.
The Commission is Composed of Amer
leans and Engiishmcn.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. 14.-No
confirmation has been received as yet at
State Department of the appointment of
a commission at Foo-Chow to visit the
scene of the recent riots at Ku-Cheng,
though Minister DENLY has advised the
department that the appointment Of
such commission was under considera-
ton and it was known that it would be
composed of Americans and English
men. The press r, ports on the subject,
therefore, are accepted as accurate and
earlier than official advces.
No surprise is expressed that the
Chinese government refused to allow an
armed escort of foreigners, as such an
escort would not have been permitted in
either Great Britain or the United States
and would have indicated that China
felt unable to protect the foreigners who
were on diplomatic mission and also
that China was unable to punish the
offenders in the recent riots.
A cable was received at the Navy De-
partment to day announcing the arrival
of Admiral Carpenter at Che Foo with
the flagship Baltimore. He had not been
able to communicate with Minister
DENLY, but it is expected he will do so
during the day. Acting Secretary Nc
Adoo said that it was expected an officer
of the navy would be a member of
the Ku-Cheng commission if the civil
authorities so requested. The naval
officer probably would be designated by
the commissioner, Folger, the senior Off
GER in Chinese water up to the time of
the arrival of Admiral Carpenter in Che
Foo.

NO CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY.

Judge Brown, Sheriff Mccarthy and
Mayor Gray Acted Together in Re-
gard to W mstOn's Riot.
From passengers on Mondays east
bound train frbm Greensboro a rumor
was obtained to the effect that there .ad
been conflict of authority between
Mayor Eugene E. Gray and Judge
Brown on the occasion Of the riot IN
thgt city early Monday morning. Ac-
cording to the reports Judge Brown
gave Sheriff Mccarthy an order, which
he was proceeding to carry out, when it
was rescinded by Mayor Gray.
1t is now learned, from the best au-
thority, that there was no ground for the
report of conflict of authority between
the Judge and the Mayor. Mayor Gray
and Judge Brown had a consultation
and agreed upon what course to pursue
before any order was given, and all the
authorities, Judge, Sheriff and Mayor,
acted in harmony throughout in their
efforts to prevent trouble.
