OUR BOYS"
The Local Amateur Dramatic Club OH the
Boards Next Tuesday Night

The Local Amateur Dramatic Club OH the
Boards Next Tuesday Night.
The box-sheet for the initial perform
anee of Raleigh's Clique Dramatique"
will be opened on Thursday morning at
w. III. King & Co.'S drug store. The play
"Our Boys" which has already been no
ticed in these columns, is one of the oil
and successful comedies, which Sothern
Mrs. Jno. Drew and numerous other stars
have helped TO make famous. 1T is a
clever play, Astounding in amusing situa-
tons and bright love scenes The plot
briefly sketched, is az follows:
Two young men, the one the son OF a
baronet, the other Of wealthy retired
butterman, have been sojourning in for
eign parts, and meeting in Italy, find their
tastes congenial, and become warm
friends. Charles, the son of the butter
man, is bright, handsome young fellow
while Talbot, the future baronet, is, in
appearance and manner, rather snob;
but afterward one appreciates his true
worth. While Sir Geoffrey's son is away
he arranges a marriage for him with q
beautiful young heiress, and, to make as
surance doubly sure, has the girl at his
uOA1e On " NlSlI TO MS sister (tOe proven
bal young-old maid, to greet Talbot on
his arrival. Unfortunately, the girls fas-
cinating poor cousin accompanies her, and
Talbot falls in love with the wrong girl,
while Charles meets again the naughty
beauty who had ensnared his heart in
Germany, and declares his love for her,
despite his fathers opposition to the girl
who sneers at his cockney English The
young men refuse to obey their fathers,
and leave home to make their own living
in London.
The third act discloses picture of their
poor homes; but ere the curtain goes
down for the last time, all is forgiven and
everybody is happy again.
The date of the play is Tuesday, De-
eember Is, at the Academy Of Music, and
it will be presented for the benefit Of the
hospital, which just now needs our aid.
All who wish to spend pleasant even
ing, encourage the new club, and best OF
all, help the sick and needy, will do well
to attend. The admission is 80 cents down
stairs, with no extra charge for reserved
seats, and % cents for the gallery.

Sharkey's Trainer Said to Have Con
fessed the Plot to rob F'itzsimmons.
San Francisco, Dee. "A morning pa
per publishes the follow
Geo. Allen, one of the men who trained
Tom Sharkey for his fight with Bob
Fitzsimmons has made confession to
the effect that Fitzsimmons was deprived
of his victory through conspiracy The
trainer and the Sharkey management
have quarrelled over money matters, it is
said, and in the heat Of the moment Al
len made threats of what he would do
if he was not paid for his services. At
tOrney Kowalsky, representing Fitzsim-
ons, heard of the circumstances, and he
employed private detectives to gather in
the irate trainer. He was run to the
ground yesterday and induced to tell the
whole story.
1t is claimed that Allen, in an af-
idavit, named Wyatt Eary. Dan J.
Lynch, Tom Sharkey and Needham as
the prime movers in the plot The whole
scheme is said to have been Matched at
Sharkey's training quarters at Ocean
Beach. 1t was arranged that Sharkey
was to make it appear that he had been
fouled ut some point in the contest when
he was in danger Of losing from Fitzsim-
mons's blows: further that the signal was
to be given by Sharkey who was to bend
over and place his hand ON his groin,
and that, at that moment, Needham was
to jump into the ring and claim foul.
Then the referee was to give decision in
favor Sharkey.
Wyatt carp, in court pleaded not guilty
to a charge Of carrying concealed weap-
ons, when he appeared as a witness in
the Fitzsimmons suit to recover the $10,-
900 check held by Sharkey. carp said
he had turned the check over TO Shar-
key and denied that there had been a
conspiracy to defraud Fitzsimmons. The
case then went over until Friday, while
thezconcealed weapon case win be heard
Thursday.

JpGE BoYKIN's RETIREMENT.

TIE resignation of Hon. Il. I. Boy
In. as Judge of the Sixth District, will
heard with surprise and regret by the
kople Of every section Of the State. He
las appointed in 1887 to succeed the late
|ldgc Mccoy, and has twice since been
[-elected. His term does not expire until
boo. Judge Boykin has grown into an
Bile Judge, respected alike for his fairness
hid learning. At the Democratic State
|nycn1ion last summer, Judge Boykin's
|lne was presented for the nomination
Associate Justice, and, though his
|iends had not suggested him until n
hort while before the convention, he re-
lived very handsome vote.
IL is understood tnat Judge Boykin
Hires because he desires to return to the
|tive practice of his profession.
Before he was appointed to the bench
was a successful practitioner, anil
ere is no doubt that his income from the
|ar will far exceed his salary on the
inch.
The Superior Court bench is weaker
han 1t has been for twenty years, and the
Iar and the <ublic will part with Judge
(oykin with profeund regret.

who are sent there for cure. and who can
never be cured without kindness, and
without first destroying the dependency
which comes to each of them from the old
idea that there is something disgraceful
in being an inmate of an asylum. There
are many improvements yet to be made
before we can regard the North Carolina
Insane Asylum as fulfilling it's mission,
and these improvements can be made
even under the closely economical appro-
priations of our Legislature, If the funds
appropriated are as carefully and wisely
