What Was Going On Yesterday in the
Polite ii World.

Uncle John Sharp of Nash, who
attended the meeting of the Repub-
lican Executive committee, is greatly
pleased at Maseey's nomination, and
predicts that he will carry Nash with
a whoop. Mr.. Sharp says that in a
three-cornered fight the Republicans
have at least 1000 majority in the
Fourth district.
Chairman Manly has gone to Win
ston to spend Sunday, after a hard
weeks work. The result of the week
was much encouragement to the Dem
ocratic workers. Plans are being ma
tured for the visit of Mr.. Bryan into
the State. Letters have been received
from all the leading towns and cities
asking that it be arranged so he will
speak there. These letters show the
great desire of the people to hear
him. 1t is believed that if he can be
induced to make three speeches-one
in the West, one in the East, and one in
the centre, at least one-fourth of the
voters of the State will turn out to
hear him. The actual dates of his
coming have not been announced, and
until that is done no arrangements can
be done. 1t is surmised that he will
come into the ~sTate from kentucky,
coming first through the Western part
of the State.

Attention is directed to the appoint
ments of Hon. Cyrus B. Watson, who
will speak at Salisbury August oath;

REGArYovAL CLUE.

Large Attendance and an Interesting
 Occasion-Ably Addresses-Two New Members.
 At the extra meeting of the New Ha- ven Congregational club held last ev- ening at Davenport Congregational church the attendance was large and all parts of the city were represented. The supper was provided by the ladies of the church, and was much enjoyed. After the banquet an admirable address was delivered by Miss M A. Jordan of Smith college. Her subject was; The Debt of the Women Students of This Generation to the Women Teachers of the Last Generation" She paid a fine tribute to the sterling worth and loyalty l to high ideals of the women teachers of the last generation, and spoke of the evolution of the work of teaching and of the ever broadening field of education 1 and knowledge. A central idea of her address was the gratifying evidences of an increasing spirit of earnest work, both among teachers and those seeking | instruction in our schools and colleges. The frivolities that have characterized some of our seminarieS seems to be giving place to an earnest striving for
 higher attainments, for higher educa- 1 tion. The ever increasing opportuni- | ties for the requirement. of a higher ed- ucation is another most gratifying sign of the times. English and American
 systems of education and study were | analysed and compared. The address i i ed
 l An excellent address was also given
 by Miss K. c. Lamson. secretary of the
 Junior department of the Woman's s | board Her theme was, "Woman's Op-
 portunity, or the Place of Missions in | the Department of Modern Woman
 hood" Her address brought strongly l to the front for consideration the vast work for good the Christian missions
 have accomplished, and not alone in l Christianizing nations and peoples and portions of people, but in generally ever l lasting them-a natural result of the
 spread of the gospel of Christ. A con
 spicuous instance of this was Japan.
 The elevation of woman was every
 where a glorious result of the spread of Christianity.
 Excellent vocal music was furnished
 by quartet of the Davenport church
 under the able direction of Leader
 Jones. MT. John c. North, president
 of the union, was the presiding officer
 of the evening. Two new members
 were admitted, Miles T. Bristol of | Dwight Place church and Rev. E. E.
 Sanford of Center church.

H0LMESIN A J0CULAR MOOD
HE WAS VERY CHEERFUL WHEN HIS DEATH UARRANT WaS READ.

While the Sheriff Was Vislbly Affected the
 Prisoner Was Affable and Even Passed a
 Joke That Caused Ripple of Laughter
 He Can be Found When He Is Wanted,
 Philadelphia, March 9-Sheriff Glenn ent, accompanied by several other men, went to Holmes cell in the prison here to-day and proceeded to read Holmes death warrant The spot in the cell where the sheriff stood was not adapted to reading owing to the lack of light. Holmes observed the sheriff's dilemma and remarked in a cheerful tone, "step over to the window, MT Sheriff. You will find more light there"
 Throughout the reading Holmes maintained an affable manner. At the conclusion Sheriff Clement, who was visibly effected, extended his hand to Holmes, offered his sympathy and inn plored him to make his peace with God. Holmes thanked the sheriff and ex- pressed himself as willing to die. There was another round of handshaking and the sheriff and others left the cell. As the sheriff was passing out he omitted to bow his head to clear the upper part of the low entrance to the cell. Holmes observed that the officials silk hat was in danger of collision with the door and he called out "be careful, sheriff, or you will bump your head"
 This caused a ripple of laughter. As the sheriff was moving down the corri- dor Holmes called after him, you can, of course, find me here when you want me-
 Lawyer Rotan had long conversa- ton with Holmes after the warrant had been read, the subject of which MT. Ro- tan refused to make known.

To be Given in the ,,yperion, March 27th.
 Mime. Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler will play at her recital, on March 27, the "Etudes Symphoniques'' of Robert Schumann (op. 13). This is his most splendid work in this form-a work of the grandest calibre, which alone would suffice to secure him a place in the very front rank of composers for the piano. forte. So overpowering is the display of his own individual treatment of the anoforte-frequently rising to the highest limits of the bravura style of execution-of his overfiowing profusion of ideas and his boldness in turning the variation form to his own account. In the finale the first two bars only of the theme are employed, and these only occasionally in the working out section. In other respects the proud edifice of this elaborately worked number has It contains, however, a delicate refer ence to the person to whom the whole work is dedicated, William Sterndale Bennett The beginning of the chief subject is a fragment of the celebrated romance in Marsch- ner's "Templar und Judin,'' in which Ivanhoe calls on proud England to re- joice over her noble knights. It is an ingenious way of paying homage to his beloved English composer

THEIR ANNUAL BANoUET.

The parIors of Dwight Place church witnessed most unusual sight last ev- ening. Probably never before were the beautiful rooms so tastefully decorated, or was so successful a banquet arrang ed by a band of young men. The tables containing covers for about 100 were ar ranged in the form of an D to represent the Endeavor class and were loaded with a feast of good things, to which the large company did ample Justice. There were banquet lamps, palms. cut flowers and other decorations i'll utmost profusion The rooms were decorated with bunting and flags, were furnished with rugs and Japanese portieres and in every detail were most beautifully and tastefully arrayed-all by the young, men comprising the Endeavor Bible class of which MT. D. B. Tucker, of the New Haven Christian Endeavor union, is the president.
 The floral decorations were furnished by MT. F. s. Platt.
 Although this was the first attempt of the Endeavor Bible class it is safe to say that it will not be the last one, and that this class and it's able lead- CT is certain of large and yet more successful future. Although connected with the Dwight Place Bible school this class has an organization of its own, with it's own officers and committees. The printed program as given below was carried out to the letter, the toasts and introductions to them being both appropriate and worthy, as we'll as e,;, r;,,c 1f Miss Raymond and Mir Langdale was heartily encored. Surely Dwight Place may well take courage and pride from such class of young men. The pro- gram:

 No Thought of Resigning-Greatly Ad-

 Report in Morning Paper,
 Much surprise was created yesterday morning among the members of the Church of the Messiah and especially in the family of the pastor, Rev. MT. Dickerman, by the report published in the Morning Palladium to the effect that MT. Dickerman had resigned his pastorate. What occasioned the print ing of such a report is a mystery as Rev. W. F. Dickerman has no thought of resigning. He is highly appreciated and esteemed by his parishioners. He draws large audiences at his church services and as a scholarly and elo- quent speaker has few equals and no superior in this state. He is doing faithful and efficient work in the Church of the Messiah and the church is f1ourishing under his ministration. He has many friends also outside of his denomination, who admire him for his broad charity and Christian cour- teSy
