likely that he would dissolve the session
unless it looked to be a sure thing that
Hunter would win.

IN THE SUPREME COURT.
Washington. April G.-Hon William
j. Bryan argued before the Supreme
Court this afternoon ON the constitution
aIlty of a law of the State Of Nebraska
enacted April u, 1893. entitled, IAN act
to regulate railroads, to classify freights,
To fix reasonable maximum rates to be
charged for the transportation of
freights." etc.
Several railroad companies were array
ed against the State Board of Transpor-
tation. the Union Pacific at their head
with James G.. Garter as chief counsel.
1t was the contention of the railroads
that the purpose OF the Legislature was
not to fix the maximum rates to prevent
eXtortiOn, but to compel the roads to car
ry goods upon such terms as the farmers
Of Nebraska could afford to pay. The
case was appealed by the State Board of
Transportation. from the United States
Circuit Court for the district of Ncbras-
ka, and Mr. Bryan was associated with
the Attorney General of the State as
counsel.
The court room was crowded with spec
tators while Mr.. Bryan was speaking.

The Madonna in Art Her Subjec
at st. Mary's.


The Madonna in Art Her Subject
at st. Mary's.
Last evening Miss Dora Duty Jones.
of Washington, y. c.. gave most
charming lecture at ST. Marys School
on '1Tshe Madonna in Art" The people OF
Raleigh rarely have an opportunity of
hearing so scholarly, entertaining and
versatile a speaker as Miss Jones and
the pupils and friends of st. Mary's are
much to be congratulated upon their
good fortune i'll securing her services.
Miss Jones has spent several years in
Europe studying the finest paintings and
her criticisms showed not only great
learning, but delicate appreciation and
critical acumen of the highest order The
lecture was illustrated by sixty-three
large stereoptican pictures OF The
Madonna by celebrated artists. and the
selection of these pictures illustrated well
the history of sacred art Miss Jones
has been compared with the celebrated
Mrs. Jameson in her appreciation and able
criticism of art, and those who heard her
last evening know that the compliment
is highly deserved.
North Carolina has every reason to be
proud OF so gifted a daughter and is glad
to remember that Miss Jones is a native
of this State and was for number of
years one of its educational powers.
This lecture win be given in Danyille
on friday evening, and on her way to
Nashville, in the late spring, where she
is to deliver by special request an illus
trated talk on the Art of America
Miss Jones will lecture in Winston, Char
iotte and other of our cities.

A Mining School Is Agitated-More

Blossburg, Jan. IL, 1897.
The conditions of the average coal

mines at an early age, when he should
be reaping the advantages of a good
common school education. AS result,
he reaches manhocd's estate sadly lack

battle for bread. The times are changing
the requirements of former years will
not avail for today; the coal trade. which
generations ago was an unimportant bus
mess in this state, has grown so much
now that the United States has become
the largest coal producing country in>the
world
The vast amount of capital invested,
the nature of employment, coupled with
the difficulties mat In extracting the min
erals, compared with in former years, are
far greater. Therefore we deem it nee
essary for the services of men, who can
combine sound theory with good prac-
ticaf knowledge OF the science of mining,
that they be hired.
The legislature of this state should
recognize the mining bill that Is before

ducing states of the union have recog-
nized the Importance and danger of this
fact, and have passed laws to protect
the lives of the miner. To illustrate 1t
