DIR. j. |, M. CURRY HERE.
He Talks About the Speeches Of Crisp
and Turner.

DR.. j +. ~ Curry, Agent of the Pea
body Fund, spent yesterday in Raleigh,
and visited the schools Of the city.
Standing at the head Of tI:c public
school system Of the South, so to speak,
and having in direct control the large
fund devised by Mr.. Peabody for edu-
cation of the youth, DR.. Curry always
finds 4 warm welcome from educators
and men Of public spirit This is par
ticuIarly true of North Carolina where
DR.. Curry and wife spend their sum
meTs. He is en- route to Jacksonville,
Fla, to attend the Educational Con-
yention. From that point he will make
his annual visit to the chief schools Of
both races that are helped by the Pea
body fund, and deliver helpful and en-
eouraging addresses to those WHO are
trying to educate the coming genera
ton.
DR.. Curry WIS ia t;.a ~ - ,n 1i-
day and heard the closing debate on the
money question. Speaking Of the
speeches Of Ex.Spealler Crisp and
Judge Turner. the learned educator
and diplomat said ii was interesting to
see two strong and able men from the
same State dividing the honors OF the
House. Both speeches, he said, were
listened to with marked attention in a
body that seldom listens. There was
no buncombe about either speech just
plain, straight forward logic and fact,
stated judiciously and forcbiy.
DR. Curry thinks the fact that two
such high-minded and able men from
the same State, representing the same
kind or constituents, hold views 50
wide apart upon the money question
shows how deep and broad is the di-
vision in the Democratic party on that
question lie said that the closing de-
bate, III which Crisp and Turner were
the leading speakers, had attracted
more interest than any debate IN the
Senate in a long time, except the brit
liant effort of Wilson, Of Virginia,
closing the Tariff debate,

HELP TIE poor.

This Cold Spell Finds Many of the Poor
Without Wood or Coai--Let Us Help
Them.
People can live long time without
food. But warmth they must have.
This sudden cold spell must make suf-
fering among the poor unless fuel is
promptly furnished" said Mr.. n. w.
West, of the julius Lewis Hardware
Company yesterday afternoon while
the snow was falling. "Our firm will
give SO to furnish wood if fund is
started and united effort to give help
is made" continued Mr.. West.
This is generous and commendable
The Mayor, whose heart responds to
all humane appeals, and other public
spirited citizens will, no doubt, second
Mr.. Vests motion and start the ball
in motion.
Why not have a citizens meeting
and make united effort at once be-
fore there is any suffering, as was done
in the big snow in the winter of 1898?
There must be no suffering in Raj

THE WIDOW BEDoTT.n

Great is the widow-that same Widow
Bedott, and no matter how often she
strides into town, it's always a good
laugh she raises. The hundred jokes
of the play from Timothy 1915" on
down are just as funny as if the moss
hadn't been growing on them for years.
THE Widow Bedott'' has been PLAYED
by Horace Ewing a thousand times
already, and it will likely be ON the
boards for a thousand more. The play
wears wen.
Last night Horace Ewing and his
company played at the Academy. The
weather was beastly and the audience
small But THE Widow Bedott" was
not to blame for that.
Alberta Hadlcy, in the role of Dolly
Sniflies, is the life of the play. She
sings catchy new songs, and sings them
well, with a voice full of merriment
and melody, and a manner fun Of grace.
The songs save the play. The chorus
to starlight is a remarkably melO-
dlous bit of music. MY Best Girls a
Corker" brought down the house.
Miss Hadley sang ~ Bunch of Vio-
let's" that a month ago made a great
hit in New FORK; the words are good
and the music pleasing; and that's all
a popular song wants.
Among the new songs sung We're:
"Serenade," "Down in Poverty Row,
MY Sweet Kathleen" "TTouble, Git, "
"My Best Girls a Corker,' and "A
Bunch Of Violets"
THE Widow Bedott" is very pleas
ant play with which to pass away an
evening.

was present, and the executive com
mittee effected arrangements with him
by which Mr.. Miller is to deliver lee
lures at twenty-five points in this

Mr.. Miller is by long odds the lead
ing Southern humorist and in his
speciality is inimitable. His negro
dialect is perfection and his stories of
the old-time life in the South are mar
vels of accuracy. No other white man
has SO mastered the character of the
old-time darkey and mingled with all
the mirthfulness Of the reproduction
IN pathos which affect all. All over
this country Polk Miller's voice and bis
banjo have been heard and wherever
heard appreciated The committee
has made no mistake III securing him
in this series of lectures, and has made
a capital selection of the places at
which he is to appear. AT each Of
these places there will be a special
committee of arrangements. All the
lectures are to be, as stated under the
auspices of the Vance Memorial Asso-
citation. 1t is the earnest hope that at
each Of the places a full house viii
greet the lecturer, and that the result
of the tour viii be a handsome in
crease of the fund, now so unworthily
small, for the erection of a monument
to the memory Of that great North
CaroIinian-ZebuIon Baird Vance.

which the road bed has been con

al belief for this is to be found in

fought against big odds all the

war, but the Cubans were fighting
for their homes and liberty while
the Spanish soldiers were fight
ing for pay, besides the Cuban
leaders seem to be greatly suprior

tactics. Cuba's bright prospects
for becoming republic is hailed
