In tho character of Rene du Froisac,
Mr.. James has a character which MS
him admirably: that of a daring, nand-
some gentleman of the royal court, no0ed
for mis- workmanship, and deeds OF
yalor. The play was produced Few

zen curtain calls, and in The various clues

heen unanimous in their praise Of the
star and the play. In Kansas City last

The Hickory Press, referring to the
fact that more than six years ago Sena
tor Pritchard got on the good side of Nc
Kinley by naming his boy William Nc
Kinley,' says:
Ex-senator Sigmon was somewhat
ahead of Senator Pritchard in this
matter, he having named his boy WI
liam Mckinley one year before Sena>
tor Pritchard did,"
This ought to give the Catawba man

'sJohn G. Poole, the suffering and

announces through the Mcdowell
Democrat that he named his boy Will

fore Senator Pritehard named his.

sideration at the hands of the in

X RAY LECTURE LAST NIGHT.

A Series of Wonderful Experiments by
Prof. IAnneau.
To an appreciatiye, blit, owing to the
very Indictment weather, small audience,
Prof. J. F. Lanneau, of Wake Forest
College, last night delivered has lecture
on the Roentgen ray, in Metropolitan
HALL The lecture was illustrated by a
series of most wonderful and interesting
experiments, showing the successive
steps and reasoning that led up to the
recent discovery of what is popularity
known as the Y ray. He told of expert
ments anade at different times by differ
ent scientists and showed the various
tubes with which they experimental:
The Geissler tubes, Hittorff perfect
vacuum tube, Crooke's tubes, Leward
tube, and lastly, Roentgen's Y ray tubes.
Tubes.
1t was this last named instrument that
the audience was most interested in, and
it was with this that the lecturer produced
his most wonderful experiments. Hidden
objects were revealed to the eye or pho
tographed upon a sensitive plate by the
searching light from the tube that pro-
duced the X-ray First the Roentgen
ray was produced within plain view Of
the audience. Then the tube was en-
closed in a tight wooden box and the
light in the hail turned out.
The lecturer announced that the rays
were then coming through the wood and
out of the box, but they were invisible to
the eye, even in the darkness, under or
binary conditions. Taking heavy
black pasteboard screen, however, one
side of which was covered with barium
PLATING cyanide, he placed it in front of
the box and it glowed like the white shade
on lamp. Placing his hand behind this,
the bones in the fingers could be easily
seen by the audience; a piece of wood an
inch thick showed the nail driven into it.;
a niclle, placed in the centre of thick
book could be readily seen; eye glasses in
a leather case were distinctly visible.
All OF these were later photographed on
a sensitive plate, commonly used by pho
tographers, and the pictures were perfect.
While giving these experiments, Prof.
1anneau talked most instructively, tell
ing the audience how every thing WAS
done and giving reason for doing it.
He has a pleasant voice land is an enter
tanning speaker He made exceeding
ly interesting, the facts that might other
wise have been very dry
1t was a great lecture and one that not
only every school boy and girl in the
city ought to have heard, but the grown
people as we'll 1t was a happy thought
in Secretary Ovcrton that led him to Sc
cure this lecture for the benefit of the
Y. NJ. G. A. 1t is to be hoped that others
of the same kind may follow it and in
struct our people in popular science and
literature.

An Asheville contemporary accuses us
of ''popuEsm" because of our editorial in
flavor of the election of United States
Senators by the people. We are glad to
have PopuMsts and all Others coincide with
us. But i'm fact, our contemporary does
the Popu1ists too much honor I'M ascrlb-
ing this measure TO them. The bill TO
amend the United States Constitution by
electing Senators by the people has re-
peatedly passed the lower House of Con-
gress, once or twice unanimously, and
once with only two negative votes. The
bill has always been shelved in the Sem
ATE by reason of that body having so
many corporation Senators who would
never allow it to come TO a vote.

THE PUBLIC PRINTING.


The committee ON public printing has
advertised for bids under the law that
was passed in 1895. 1t is not our pro-
vince or purpose to suggest what lis the
best legislation with reference TO this
natter. except to say that a worse meth-
od than that now in vogue could not be
adopted.
Those members who are looking for
economy, can find q place to secure 1t, by
changing the law so that every item
shall go to the lowest bidder, if the Leg
sslat,1re is i'm earnest about giving 1T to
the lowest bidder.
Those legislators who believe that the
printing ought to be done by citizens of
North Carolina, who are as competent
as amy, will find here a place to help the
North Carolina skilled worker.
Those legislators who believe that or
ganized, or union, labor should be pro
tected, have an opportunity of showing
their faith by changing the present law.
Under the present contract the State S
printing has cost more than when there
was no pretense that it was dome by the
lowest bidder; much of it has been done
in Richmond, Va, while North Carolina
printers have been unable to get work
to do: and it has all been done by poorly
paid non-union printers
