Matinee at Metropolitan Hall Today
'"The Old Church Bell'' Will be Sung.
The people of Raleigh have a treat in
store for them this afternoon, if they
care to take advantage of it. The Ar
nold-Welles Company will repeat, at
2:30 o'clock, at Metropolitan Hall, their
new play ''Over the Hills to the Poor
House"
This is the play IN which Mr.. Hilliker
so admirably takes the character of MIN
rod, Southern negro.
Twenty-one, twenty-0ne, you fiy!'
This is Nimrod's famous injunction to
his big right foot, as he starts out to do
some wonderful deed
Nimrod is a genuine "nigger" in action
and speech, and a more amusing one has
never been seen on the stage here Why
he was called Nimrod / could never inn
agine, unless it was because, as he says,
when he went to the Black Hills to
hunt his lost master he was hunted by
"Injuns and engines, antelopes and eau
teloupes, rhinoceroses and Thomas III.
Wildcats" Why he was surnamed
George Washington is easier, for he ex-
plains that he was born with the handle
of truth in his hand and he has never
been able to turn it loose.
If you want to laugh till your sides
are sore go to see Nmrod this after
noon.
Tonight the 'Rose of Killarney" will
be presented.
Last night is was "Only an American
Girl" four-act society comedy. It's
presentation was much enjoyed by the
largest audience that has yet greeted
this company here.
The hest feature Of the performance
was the singing of the "Old Church
Bell" by Mr.. J. +. Hilliker, at the close
Of the third act. He was encored sew
eral times. The audience could never
get enough of his deep baritone voice
and the tender sentiment of the song.
Mr.. Hilliker will sing it again at the
matinee this afternoon.

The above liberal offer is made to ad-
vertise the old reliable Diamond Dyes,
and to get their book upon home dyeing
into the hands of women who want to
dress well by making their old clothing
look like new.
Diamond Dyes have special dyes for
cotton, different from those that are used
for wool, and are the only package
dyes on the market that can be relied
upon to give colors that will not fade
or crack. The fact that Diamond Dyes
have been the standard home dyes for
nearly twenty years and that their sale
increases from year to year, is proof
positive that they have never had an
equal.

not drop of rain TO lay the binding
suffocating dust that swept all day before
a stiff northeasterly breeze through the
prandstand and the open windows of the
exhibition building. The crowd present
was unusually large for the last day
though the races were rather tame and
aroused but little excitement.
The free-for-all race was won In three
straight heats by Little Guy. for several
wears past the champion PAGER of the

Floyd Brothers, OF Northampton, won the
4-year-old race, with W. /. James's Susie

At the conclusion Of the PresideDfs
speech he was the recipient of an ovation
from the school children and the as
sembled multitude.
Brief speeches were also made by
Secretary Alger and Senator Hanna.
After driving over the grounds the
presidential party returned TO the hotel
In the evening a complimentary dinner
was given by the state Board Of Agri-
culture to President Mckinley, and a
brief. informal reception followed. The
President leaves for Canton tomorrow
morning.
An unpleasant feature OF the Presi-
dents visit to the city was a report
which gained currency through the pub
lication OF an anonymous letter TO the
effect that the President was in bodily
danger, because OF the appointment Of
Immigration Commissioner Powderly. and
that extraordinary precautions would be
taken to guard Mr.. Mckinley. The
Mayor and the Director of Public Safety
regard the communication las hoax,
and both state that 1t was never con-
sidered seriously.
