THE REV. DIR. BURNS REBUKED
EARLY Closing Ordinance" Rescinded by
Public Building Board.

The Rev. DR.. Burns, Keeper of the
Capitol, got set down on pretty hard yes
terday by the Board on Public Grounds
and Buildings. That Board is composed
of the Governor, Secretary of State and
Treasurer, and they backed water terri
bly, on Bro. Burns early closing law.
They held two meetings to consider the
keepers recent fool ordinance about
driving all children and their nurses
out of the Capitol grounds after Z
o'clock in the evening. To the morning
meeting the Rev. Burns was not in
vited; but he was present at the after
noon session. He explained at length the
reasons that led to fpromulgation of such
tyrannical laws. He said in substance
that it was his infinite love for the chill
dren and hatred of;spooning that led him
to do this thing. The children, he claimed,
were often taken TO the square by their
nurses early in the morning and kept
there till late at night The children were
neglected while the nurses talked to
their sweethearts. The early closing law
was therefore aimed at the nurses. and
not at the wee tots taken there to get Il
breath of fresh air.
AS to mutilating the trees, he said no.
body objected to cutting off the limbs ex-
cept people who lived in East Raleigh.
and wanted to be screened from the pub
lie gaze while they sat around on rustics
and courted.
The Board listened to Bro Burns ex-
PLANTATION with much amusement, and af-
ter he had finished they quietly informed
him that the square was public property,
for the use of the general public and he
must allow the freest use possible to all
classes of people, consistent with good
order and preservation of the property.
They further told him: that if at any
time he found it impossible to preserve
order he could get from, the city all the
police force necessary.
The real truth of the matter seems to
be that the Rev. DIR. Burns has not vet
found out that all the work incident to
his office is to draw his salary. 1t has
only happened in his case; as it almost al
ways does, that when man has nothing
to do, but tries to do something anyway,
he does harm.

Suffering Mothers, Read I!

When my first child was born 1 had
great trouble with my breast. 1t yould
break out with an itching humor that
was almost more than I could stand.
1t was something like the thrash and it
seemed to poison my NIX. Wherey-r
tue mix would touch me or my child ii
would cause the humor to break out, and
would make the child's mouth so sore
that was driven tn wean the child ard
raise 1T on the bottle. l had the trouble
to return with five of nv children, and
come Rear losing then all. l was sor.
rowful in my heart not to nurse my ba-
bles, but l could not do it, and was
driven to wean them. My fourth and
fifth Child died from it as the disease
settled on the bowels. We had all the
benefit of medical treatment that the
country afforded, and spent hundreds of
dollars trying to get well, and it almost
broke me up. Before the birth of my
sixth child l met Mrs. Joe Person at
Smithfield, and from what she told me Of
her Remedy, l concluded to try it. I
bought some of the Remedy and wash
from Mr.. Hood, and before l had used
the six bottles l was perfectly cured.
AT the birth of my next child l was well. :
and have since had two children, but
have never had any more trouble with
my breast, and my children were born
well and healthy, and was able to nurse
them.
One of my little girls was poisoned
with poison oak, and nothing gave her
any relief until l used Mrs. Joe Per-
sons Remedy and Wash, and one-half
bottle of the Remedy and one package
of the Wash cured her. l don't know
how to express myself about that med
icine. l have never seen anything like
it, and l do not think there is any other
medicine known that will do what it
does. l wouldn't take $500 for what it
did for me, and if 1 could have known
of it years ago I would have been better
off in the world than l am to-day.

RALEIGH NOT REPRESENTED
Rescue Company Will net Attend tn,
Firemen's Tournament

Raleigh will not this year be repre-
sented at the Firemen's Tournament
which is to be held at Fayetteville in
August.
The Rescue Fire Company met last
night and decided not to go. They had
intended going and to that end had ask
ed the Board of Aldermen for leave of
absence and for $50 to help pay trans
portation-of themselves, horses, wagons
and equipments. The leave Of absence
was granted all right enough, but the
$50 was not, nor any part of it.
This simply meant that the company
which is for the most part composed of
working men, would not be able to go.
And they so last night decided after
passing a vote of thanks to the. Alder
men for granting them leave of absence
1t is much to be regretted that the
Fire committee of the Board could not
find some way to help pay the expenses
of this company to Fayetteville to rep
resent Raleigh. Other towns much less
able have been very liberal in this direc-
ton. Durham gives it's company 5000
and Newbern gives $3.50, but Raleigh,
with the best company in the State gives
not cent.
There is considerable talk among the
members of the Rescue Company of dis
banding.

KENYON AND HART DENOUNCED
There is letter from Mr.. Warran G.
Elliott. president Atlantic Coast Line,
dated May 18th, replying to Mr.. Mes
ler's letter of the 18th. Mr.. Elliott
says: 1--WE do not think we should be
REQUIRED to issue an order to the conduc-
tors canceling the passes issued on ac-
count of 1.-THE Tribune" to MeSsrs Ken
yon and Hart. These gentlemen might
seriously object to this as rejecting
upon them, and we do not care to in
volye ourselves in any correspondence
with them about it. l hope, therefore,
that you will make a further effort to as
certain the postoffice address of the par
ties and request them to return the
passes so that we can issue you new
ones in place of Them
in this letter. But on the opposite side
of Mr.. Elliott's letter, written in pencil.
is the following unsigned draft of a let
ter:
Mr.. Warren G. Elliott,
Dear Sir: Yours of the 18th received
and contents noted. You need have
no fears about rejecting upon Messrs.
Kenyon and Hart by taking up their
passes, as both left this office in dis
grace. Kenyon is in Chicago somewhere
and Harris whereabouts are unknown. 1t
is not likely that either of them will at
tempt to use the passes over your road.

peared in your paper of the 10Th from

THE A. AND NJ. COLLEGE FUND.

Treasurer Worth yesterday received
$4,000 for the two A. and M. colleges
i'm this State-the white college here
and the colored college at Greensboro.
The school here gets about 60 per cent
of the entire appropriation.
The money that goes to the A. and NJ.
colleges of tle State amounts to about
$4,000 a year. and comes from two
funds. In 1862 the Federal government
appropriated land to each of the States
for instruction in practical and scientific
agriculture and military tactics. This
is known as the land scrip fund.
Eight years ago Congress made an
other appropriation for colleges Of agri-
culture and mechanic arts" amounting
to $4,000 for each State, with an an
nual increase of $1,000 till the amount
should reach $4,000. This year it is
$4,000 and two years hence will reach
the maximum.
