1.-THE CONGRESSMAN"
Capital Club viii Tender German to
the Charlotte Dramatic Club.

The first act of '.IYhe Congressman,
which the Charlotte Dramatic Club
is to give here Thursday in the interest
of the Vance Memorial Fund, is laid
in Texas, and the subsequent acts, as
the name of the piece would indicate
in Washington. There are wild and
woolly Texans, greasers and frontier
riff-raff galore; falzirs, parasites, ami
lobbyists: a band composed of two ne
groes and a one-legged Italian in a
wheel-baIrow, with a grind-organ, and
a score of interesting characters, with
out duh line among them.
The Charlotte Club will put forth it's
mightiest efforts TO make The Con-
gresham" the theatrical success OF
the season. The lines of the play are
uproariously funny and every situation
brings another laugh. The cast is cho-
sen from the flower OF the clubs mem
bership, and the public may look for
ward to a revelation in amateur acting.
The Capital Club will tender a ger
man next Thursday night TO the mem
bers of the Charlotte Dramatic Club
in honor of their visit to this city.
While here the club will be thrown
open to the Dramatic Club and they
will be extended every courtesy.

CONVENTIONS MEETING PLACE.

Seats I,4CO--fiotel Rates and Ac-
comodations.

For weeks the question of meet
mo place foI. the Democratic hosts that
are to gather here on the 25th has ag1-
tated the minds of the local faithful.
The convention will have a thousand
Delegates, and few auditoriums in the
State will hold that many people.
The Democratic State convention Of
1892. the largest in our history, was
held i'm Stronach's Warehouse, but that
has been converted into livery stable.
But all the doubt about a place ia
which to nominate the ticket of the
people, and make the platform that
honest patriots VIII stand on, is dis,
PEELED.
Chairman James II. Pou, OF the State
Democratic Executive committee, has
arranged for the convention to be held
in the Academy of Music.
The Academy has a maximum seat
ING capacity of 400. This will leave
room for nearly 500 shouters and spec
tators.
The indications are that the con
yention Will be largely attended.
There are already many inquiries as
to rates and accommodations. The 1ar=
borough House will be opened for the
convention week, and many private
boarding houses have arranged to take
extra boarders for the occasion.
Rates and accommodations are:
Marlborough House, 500, at $3.50 and
$500
Park Hotel, 200, at 81, $3.50 and So.

come will find a welcome, plenty to eat
and more than enough places to spend

THE SUNS VERTICAL ANGLE.
Graded School Children Studying the
Movements of "OId So"--Somethine
of Interest for To-Day.

If the children who sit in the study
hall at the Centennial school will go
to the school to-day a little before
twelve O'Clock, they can notice the
vertical angle of the sun at noon. Mr..
Howell and some of the teachers will
be there to let them in, and to direct
them. Tomorrow the Murphey school
children that sit up stairs are invited
to GO to school for the same purpose.
The sun has been an object of in
terest to the school children the past
session Last fall they all thought it
was right over head at noon. They
looked one day at twelve o'clock, and
were surprised to find it ia the south.
The children have watched it ever
since. wondering much that it should
go farther and farther south all the
falls and since Christmas they have
seen it go higher and higher every
day
In rooms with southern windows at
school the shadow of the window-siIl
ferent times; and the more advanced
pupils have noted the vertical angle
of the sun at noon, with an instrument
constructed by Superintendent Howell
for this purpose. At Christmas the
sun was about fifty-nine and a half
degrees south of the zenith At the
spring equinox its vertical angle was
about thirty-siX degrees. The sun is
now near its highest point in the
heavens, and the children want TO know
how much it lacks of being right over
head.
