CHILDREN'S DAY

Fair Kind of a Day, With About
$500 People in the GrOunGs--The
Premium List will be Finished This
Evening--The Races.
There we're about 500 people at the
fair yesterday.
To-day will be ChildTen's Day. The
children under 12 years of age will be
admitted for ten cents each, and there
will be great gathering,of them.
Yesterday the people, for the most
part, had looked at the exhibits, and
gave themselves up largely to social inter
course and to getting all the pleasure
they could out of everything,
When the farmers get back
home they may not be able to
call over the exhibits, but they will
have gotten their systems well permeated
with the notion of plenty. There was an
atmosphere suggestive of comfort and
competency among those who look to
the soil for living. And yet these
very people will not be able to tell prob
ably in detail of much they saw.
It was the same way with Chicago;
but those from Chicago do not forget
the Ferris wheel; the Ferris wheel STANDS
immortal among the peoples of the
earth, and so does the Midway, and so
do all Midways
A man who has been behaving himself
for twelve months without ceasing, been
regular at church and paid up Ill his
dues, including even those for foreign
missions, has been buryiDg much that is
Bohemian within him But the Mid
ways at State Fairs and other places
waters the wicked seed in the
heart and makes it bloom again,
in a way that nothing else can do Of
course this is wicked, but celebrated
American poet nov living said once that
the reason he liked a particular New
York daily was because 1t was so wicked.
So the Midway weut to the hearts Of
many yesterday who will pray all the
more devoutly for their sins when they
get back home and look the hearthstone
sauarely in the face and the hearthstone
has a square account from them az to
what they saw in the Midway.

THE DANCERS DOWNED.
Mr.. N. ID. BrOugh On's Attacks on the
Fakifs a the Fair.

dhAHS az tAC AiAs
The "Hootchee Kootchee" dancers will
be swept off the midway this morning
They have danced for the las time
at the State Fair.
And this will be the last fair at which
these indecent exhibitions Will be per-
mltted.
After the regular business of the State
Agricultural Society had been disposed
of last night, Mr. ~ B. Broughton called
the attention of the society to the exist
ence on the fair grounds Of certain show s
that are wholly immoral, III lecent and
disgracefu
He said g The Hootchee Kootchee
dance, as these fakirs call it, is, am in
formed, so ourrageously indecent as to
make necessary protest from the decent
people of the state Ii making this pro-
test, | do not reflect upon either the
President or the Secretary of this society,
neither of whom knew u0til this after
noon the excessively indecent nature of
these vulgar performances.
1.-THE buildings at Uhe Fair are filed
with beautifully displayed products Of
the soil, with poultry and fue cattle,
and all the productions of the State.
but the exhibits are overshadoWed
by these shameful exhibitions.
How many young farmers saw the
exhibits there to-day
s'Most of them were deluded by the
fakirs and demoralized by these dis
graceful shows
These immoral things must be
stamped out, and that at once. | want
the good work to begin now, and to close
the shows tomorrow morning.
ave invite the sons AMI daughters of
North Carolina here to our fair, and yet
allow these shows 80 pollute and degrade
their minds and bodies. 1t is shame
on our civilization and our Christianity.
"They were represented 20 be scientific
exhibitions 'Hootchee Kootchee'
dances.
''Tne newspapers said that the Score
tary was on one of these 'Hootchee Koot
chez stands when it fell yesterday, and
was just on the point of seeing the show
when the platform went down. This
was probably scheme on the part of
the fakirs to keep him from seeing the
kind of show they were giving.
I'VE ought to begin closing these
things, tomorrow Ohlldren's Day-and
supp ess them for all time"
Secretary Nichols said he had no
knowledge, before their admission, of the
nature of these shows.
Col. Julian s. Carr, Col John 8. Cur
ingham, Msi j. W. Wilson and otht rs
seconded Mr.. Broughton's motion.
Col. Carr said neither he nor the Sec
rotary knew the character of these exhi-
billions. Yesterday afternoon he had
entered his pro est. He went to ses the
show, and it was positively nauseating.
He had spent several hours in trying to
regulate the evil, and had stopped as
much as he could of the indecent talk on
the outside. Col Carr said "We must
keep the morals of the young people, sif
we would preserve the morals of the
State "
Mr. Broughton's motion was made to
include all the gambling schemes on the
grounds.
The resolution was then passed unani-
mously.
And the greasy pigs and "Hoochee-
Kootchee" shows must go.

At the Academy.

By far the largest audience of the
season turned out last night to hear
Mabel Paige in the three, act comic opera,
entitled 1.-The Little Hussar" That the
entertainment was not a bowling success
is to express it mildly. Nevertheless
there were bright spots here and there.
Little Mabel, as Tessa, fully sustained
her reputation, and her Sissy Fitzgerald
wink made many new friends for her.
Mr.. Allen Wightman, the comedian OF
the company, deserves mention for the
way he filed his part. His eqpal as a
darcr is not often seen in Raleigh,
Tony Fernandez, the musician, made his
usual hit and got volumes of applause.
To night the farce comedy, entitled "a
Runaway Girl, will be presented.

NOT MISSING BANKER NMBAlL.
There Was Mistake in the Identity of c
Man Found Murdered in
Nebraska.

LINCOLN, Nebr., Nov. Is. - Reports
which were circulated in Lincoln and
other towns on the line of the Burlington
to-day to the effect that Banker G. R. Kim
ball of Deadwood had been murdered at
Alliance, Nebr., prove to be confusion OF
facts. Banker Kimball, as chronicled by
The United Press at the time, disappeared
from Deadwood September II, and is still
missing.
Some time in October the body of an un-
known man was found on the railroad
tracks near Alliance. He had evidently
been murdered, and that fact being called
to the attention of Governor Holcomb he
recently offered the customary 5000 for the
arrest OF his slayers. The description OF
the dead man reached Mrs. Kim ball, who
concluded it might be her husband, and
kilograms and letters sent by her led to to-
days erroneous reports. The dead body,
it has been definitely ascertained, is not
that of Banker KimbalI.

missioners for Foreign Missions, and II.
D. Hyde of Boston, member of the COM
mittee, had an interview with Secretary
Olney at the State Department this morn
ing. The purpose of their visit to the
capital at this time, as explained later by
Mr.. Hyde to a representative OF The
United Press, was to satisfy the mission
aries in Turkey, and especially their
friends in this country, that the Govern
ment is doing all that it can reasonably be
expected to do for their protection: during
these turbulous times in Turkey.
I'VE find Secretary Olney," said Mr..
Hyde, "keenly alive to the importance OF
the situation in Turkey and constantly in
touch with it through Minister Terr1ll.
We were satisfied by an exposition OF the
policy and performance of the department
of what we were personally satisfied before
our coming, that the Government is doing
all that it can to protect our missionaries.
We had some information to give him re-
specting the recent outrages and the Sec
retary had some to give us. He is in COM
munication with one party and we with
another. There is something of detail In
the reports and letters that were ex-
changed, but nothing which the press has
not had in a general way. The instruc-
tions to Minister Terrill, as shown US, have
been frequent and emphatic, and they
leave nothing to be desired by the board
or to the friends of the missionaries"

people who were on the boat were drowned.
The Admiralty advices show that the
launch has been taken on board the Ed.
gar. The late dispatches confirm the re-
port of the loss of the fourth officer. A
cipher dispatch has been received giving
details of the accident, and the clerks at
the Admiralty are now engaged in trans
lating it.
The Finnish schooner Elpis was wrecked

Hold Out. ::
RESIDENTS sCoFF AT CAMPos.
Before the End of December the Rebels
:. Hope to End the Cuban War
+. in. Victory. ~.

t. BOSTON; MASS, Nov. ia dispatch to
morning paper from Havana says:
Word has been received in this city that
large division Of the insurgent army are
forcing themselves eastward with the
ostensible purpose of vigorous assault on
Havana.
This division is composed of the whole
insurgent army of the west, and greater
part of the department of the interior and
it is stated that they are led by General
Maceo himself They have large field
battery, and are in every way provided for
a desperate struggle.
In the capital itself the greatest confu-
sion reigns, owing to the contradictory
rumors which are constantly being received
from the seat of war and the lack OF
knowledge as to the whereabouts of the
enemy.
The Spanish residents are grumbling
over the alleged apathy of General Cam
pos and scoff openly at his idea of treat
ing the insurgents with anything approach
ing leniency.
In case of a severe attack it is doubtful
if the Spanish garrison, even with the
forts at their command, would be able to
make very long stand, and with the loss
of the outlying garrison the whole city
would be at the mercy of the insurgents,
and with its fall 1t would be the end of the
war, practically, as with the entire east in
their possession already and with the
probability of the west falling, too, the
Spanish would be forced by stress of cir
cumstances to surrender.
The long expected re-enforcements from
Spain have not arrived yet and the garri-
son is at present very weak.
Another dispatch from Santiago de
Cuba states that the insurgents are batter
ing once more at the gates of that city.
The fighting in the east has been some
thing terrific. Both sides now realize fully
that the war will not last much longer
and that by the end of December all will
be settled.
1t has been learned by the authorities
that large amount of munitions and
large body of recruits were landed recently
near Matanzas. Owing to the rigorous
press censorship it is almost impossible to
gain any reliable information, but the gen.
eraI feeling is that the total defeat of the
Spanish armies is at hand, and that with
in month, at the most, the war will be
practically ended.

WILL SOON Be DROPPED.
Colonel Colt Does Not Intend to
Press His Divorce
Suit.
The Trouble Could Have Been Settled
Before, but the Demands
Were Too Great.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Nov. 15-The
facts which became known to-day in re-
gard to the cessation of hostilitles in the
famous Colt divorce case have created a
sensation in Eastern society circles. Both
principals virtually having withdrawn
from the field, it is probable that the case
will close at once without any further
steps being taken.
There is no possible dorb about the
proceedings in the divorce case having
come to standstill, and it is stated by an
intimate friend of both Colonel and Mrs.
Colt that the initial negotiations for q
private settlement have begun. Last night
Colonel Colt left for New York, and he has
remained there all day. 1t is learned that
this sudden action had a distinct bearing
on the settlement of the case, and that his
visit was to expedite matters.
The offer of settlement, it was posi-
lively learned tonight, was made orally by
one of Colonel Colts counsel here to James
NJ. Ripley, who is the senior counsel in the
divorce proceedings against Mrs. Colt. Mr..
Ripley has figured in the case publicly
upon only one occasion thus far, and that
was to oppose in the Supreme Court the
petition of Colonel Colt to take dispositions
in this country and Europe. The court
ruled this evidence out and this virtually
killed Colonel Colts case and doubtless led
to his taking prompt action to stop pro-
ceedings. The trouble might have been
settled in October on amicable and very
fair terms, but the demands were too great
and Colonel Colt was obliged to decline
the offer. That the case has reached Its
end is now certain,
