According to semioficial announce
ment issued in London, the Anglo
Egyptian march ON Khartum will be
resumed as soon as ever the Nile begins
to rise again, when the stores which are
now being accumulated at the base
that is to say, ut Dongola-will be
pushed OH to the front with the utmost
rapidity. The total strength Of the ex-
petition will be over 25, 600 men. This
will mean that, allowing for the guard
ing of the line of communications, co.
600 men at least will attack the dervish
stronghold at Omdurman. This force
will be by no means too large, as the
dervishes, according to the latest and
best information, can place at least CO.,
900 men in the field. They also have
over 70 krupp 10 and o centimeter
guns, captured from Hicks Pasha at the
time Of the fall of Khartum. The gun
boat fiotilla will be manned, it is said,
by bluejackets and will consist OF
about ten boats.

AN ENTEEPRlSlNG NEGRO.
He Will Build and Equip a Cotton Mill
For Negro Operatives.

He VIII Build and Equip a Cotton Mill
For Negro Operatives.
w. @. Colen an of Concord, N. c.,
one of the woalthiest negroes in tho
country, is now promoting an enterprise
from which he expects profitable results
for himself anu his race. He proposes to
build and equip mill for ''the double
object Of teaching and giving employ
ment to negroes as cotton mill opera
tives." He has disposed of nearly all of
the $780, wosth Of stock with which
the mill will start and will begin work
ON the building in few weeks.
There is at present 10 cotton mill in
the United States which has negro oper-
atives. Negroes are employed in a knit
ting mill at Columbia, S. c., and there
is plan ON foot to build cotton mill
in Alabama in which negro convicts
will be worked, but the experiment at
Concord will probably get under way
first. Its protector is confident that
negroes can be used as cotton mill oper-
atives satisfactorily to the mill owners
and greatly to the pecuniary advantage
of tho negroes themselves. After having
tried in vain to get some Of the mills
already established to change their class
of operatives. so as to give the negroes
a chance to demonstrate their ability in
this respect, or TO obtain the consent of
white mill men to build mill for
that purpose, he set about the task OF
raising tho necessary money to build a
small one among the members OF his
own race, and he has succeeded beyond
his expectations. Atlanta Journal

pleted u remarkable pilgrimage in the
interests of charity and religion. Eight
cen months ago he left in private cM
for O tour Of the United States. He has
visited every city Of Importance in the
Union and esta ablished Florence Critten-
ton missions in 80 or more. These mis-
sions are memorials to his daughter
Florence. an only child, who died at an
early age. Mr.. Crittenton has since de-
voted his time and fortune in establish
ing and maintaining missions like the
one now in Bleecker street, New York
It is said this 18 months tour Of the
country has cost Mr.. Crittenton $780,
900. His fortune is estimated at a
couple Of millions, and he proposes to
give it all to Florence Crittenton mis-
sions. He will spend the rest of his life
in looking after the interests OF the
missions he has established in the va
rious cities of the country.
Mr.. Crittenton's car has sleeping &C.
commodations for IA, dining room
and kitchen. At every point on the
journey where the delay was more than

ligious workers conducted service OF
song and exhortation. A portable organ
was carried, and this wasS.yshed out on

Rescue circles. each consisting of ten
workers. who pledged themselves to aid
young girls and women who have fallen

VIOLATING THE LAw.-Complaint
has been made recently of some saloon
keepers who, it is alleged, open their
bars at twelve o'clock on Sunday
nights. They suppose by SO doing they
comply with the letter of the law if not
with the spirit. 1t may be stated, how
ever, that the State law, which the
Mayor or any magistrate can enforce,
provides for the closing of such places
until sunrise on Monday morning un-
der q penalty Of not less than ten nor
more than one hundred dollars.

AN ANXIOUS CoUPLE.-A young man
who said he was twenty years old and
an interesting Miss of seventeen sum-
mers came here yesterday afternoon
from Washington and procured a mar
riage license from The clerk of the Cor
poration Court. They spent the re-
mainder of the afternoon in search of q
minister who would unite them in mat
rimony. Between five and six o'clock,
iinding it impossible to secure the servi-
ces Of q clergyman, they sought the
Mayor and earnestly besought him TO
make them man and wife, as they did
not desire 10 go back to Washington
unmarried. The Mayor refused their
request. Later the couple called at the
residence of the pastor of Emmanuel
Lutheran Church, but that gentleman,
ike his brother ministers, was out of
the city. They were told, however, to
return this morning when he would be
on hand to perform the ceremony. The
couple left promising to appear to-day.
The Mayor is called upon about once a
month TO perform the marriage cere-
mony, many supposing he is authorized
to unite couples. Such is not the case,
though it was understood under the
old regime that he or any magistrate
could tie the knot. The code now pro
yides for the appointment by the court
of proper persons to celebrate the rites
OF matrimonv in the absence of minis
tiers, who shall be required to give $500
