CHARLOTTE, n. C., Nay '97.-Tns
"omen's Exposition of tho Carroll.
mas was formally opened At Charlotte
on the evening Of the ll,h, with an
address BY Mrs Cotton, one Of North
SaroiinA.s representative daug ghters.
The building was we'll filed and q
lev nights later, when the Mexican
band filled an engagement, there
were at least 800 people turnt d away
from the building.
The Art exhibit is one Of the finest
ever shown South. and is altogether
100 much Tor picture lovers to under
tAke TO see IN single visit. The
pictures number something over
800, almost all Of which are exposed
Tor sale at prices ranging from s. 600
oown, some very pretty water col
ors being shown for few dollars.
The refining in influence Of ine paint
ings cannot be overestimated and
our readers will do we'll to see this
exhibit OF rare painting.
THE MUSEUM.
A stroll through the Museu m which
Is placed on the same floor as the
Art Department, will be time we'll
spent for all interested in curios and
obsolete objects, historical relics etc.
1t were impossible in this short space
to outline in q comprehensive man
ner the great number of objects on
exhibition, all representing unfamil-
lar objects of use or else connected
in some way with historical happen
inRs and their associations.
The Bunker Historical Society
sends, through their historian, Mr..
X. l.. Reed, of South Acton, Massa-
chussetts, a most interesting and
valuable collection, while from the
Old North State University comes
the famous death mask of Napoleon,
valued at $4,000, and other rare
relics.
INDUSTRIAL EXHIBIT.
The Industrial exhibits to be found
installed on the first floor of the
building cover a floor space of about
1910 square feet.
1t is far more extensive than the
management intended, and will be a
surprise to visitors because of its
completeness. 1t is here that the
700 light plant is placed, which furn-
ishes light for the building and
court. The dynamo is directly con-
nected to a G0-horse power ideal en-
gine of peculiar beauty.
Gingham, sheeting and towel
looms will be kept in operation, as
will also stocking, banding and
clothes line machines.
All tho printing of the Exposition
will te done in this department,
where two presses will be kept IN op-
GRAFTON.
The machinery exhibit is placed
in the centre, and the electrical H.
luminations are scattered through
out the building. The exhibits by
local merchants are the finest ever
shown in the Carolinas.
All kinds of gooas are exposed for
sale at less than usual prices. En-
tertainments are provided almost
nightly.

do not consider myself or anyone
else capable of deciding now what

Leslie, Of Mex keesport, Pa, (our
State Chairmap) recently wrote me,
II don't think we should shout from
the house tops what we should do in
1900. Keep educating. and adapt
ourselves to the conditions that
arise" This is my sentiment exact
ly.
1t seems that this proposed dele
gate conference will endeavor to
supplant the regular Peoples Party
organization in party authority.
Whatever that conference may do
will be considered authority by those
identified with it and in sympathy
with it. Those not identified with it,
and those who deem such a confer
ence unwise, will continue to con-
slider the action of the st. Louis
convention the highest party au-
thority. This will lead to an inevit-
able and unnecessary split. While
local and informal conferences may
be very helpful, and should be en-
couraged, the proposed National
Delegate Conference at Nashville,
July 4th, is q threatening danger to
our party integrity. l hope that
those who have baen instrumental in
proposing it will prudently drop it.

Editor of the Advocate, Topeka, Kan.I
Editor Nonconformist: There
ought not to be any objection to the
proposed conference at Nashville.
The right of peaceful assembly is a
right that free men will never sur
render. In the multitude of the
counsellors is safety. And if the
Peoples Party Is worth saving, it
would seem that no harm can come
from a conference among its friends.
1t is nonsense to charge as the par
ty's enemies such of its members as
meet to consider means best calcula-
ted to preserve its integrity. But
the conference will have no authori-
ty to act or speak for the party.
That authority was conferred, by
the last National convention, on q
committee, and the committee has
not called or authorized this confer
ence; hence, while the conference is
in every way lawful and may work
good results, it can represent only
the persons then and there assem-
bled.

Shorter Wars.
Boston Advertiser.l


Boston Advertiser.l
Since 1865, with the general intro
duction of the telegraph, the electric
cable, and the modern system of
railways, war has become matter
of few months at most. In 1866
Prussia defeated Austria in seven
weeks. Prussia defeated France in
about two months. The war be-
tween Russia and Turkey began in
April, 1877, and was practically fin
ished by the close of that year. The
war between China and Japan be-
gan about midsummer. 1894, and
ended in March, 1895. The present
war between Turkey and Greece
seems to be practically ended in
about four weeks from the outbreak
of formal hostilities. It seems to be
| shown by experience that two I'M
portant civilized nations in these
days of telegraph and railway can.
not conduct wars for any length oi
time unless the contending countrie.
are separated by the ocean or some
other natural barrier.

Judge Powers Rendition Of Hayken 50
Characterized by Judge Rhodes,
THE MORRIS BRIBERY CASE.
The Whole OF Today Consumed In the
Reading of Hpyken's Testimony
From a Former Transcript.

The rumor that Hsyken would no.
be present TO. testify at Morris's trial,
as told in Thursday's NEWS turned
out to be true; for toward the even
inS of that day, Attorney Whittsmore,
after his opening statement to the
jury, informed the court that Bayken
had been in the city on the 2Oih Of
December, along with Attorney J.
Aaron Adams, and that both had gone
TO Denver intending 10 return in time
for the trial. 1t now appears that the
gentleman named, returned to Chica-
go, and that neither Of them will bs
prcse mt In person at the trial.
The prosecution began the Intro.
duction of testimony by reading the
evidence OF Rsykon, from the steno.
graphic notes taken at a former hear
ing. Judge Rhodes reads the direct
testimony OF Hayken, while Judge
Powers reads that OF the ssme witness
under the judges cross-examinstion.
The monotony OF the proceedings
was broken somewhat this morning

Powers. The latter was reading that
portion OF Hayken's redirect testi.

made TO III. B." Judge Powers was
having 40 mucn fun out OF 1t as good
reader would out OF Dickens's p ck-

phsslzs his own interrogations,
and read the answers in a
humorous vein. The jury were
apparently enjoying the proceedings,
