DEATH OF MIR. LONG.


One of the saddest deaths that has &C.
curIei In Roanoke for long time was
that of comparatively unknown tailor
named A. Long, who has for the past
year. been employed by l.. Cohn. the
tailor on Salem avenue. Mr.. Long come
to Roanoke about one year ago and went
to work for Mr., Cohn, where he has been
mt work ever since. Shortly after he came
hele he was afflicted with neuralgia and
has steadily grown worse. sometimes able
to work, but often unable. He died yes
terday morning at about--1 o'clock Mt his
boarding house on Campbell street and
WAS taken out to the almshouse and
buried in the afternoon by the city. His
story is n very pathetic one. He is ma.
tive of Sweden and come to this country
several years.ago, III health followed
him and he had hard luck continually;
finally he wound up in Roanoke, hoping
that his health would be better, but hero
his III luck continued and yesterday he
was hauled out to.a pauper's grave. No
friends and no relatives to mourn for
him, not n tear was shed as the body was
lowered into it's last resting place and
being in strange land he is already for
gotten No pomp or ceremony; no grand
pageantry; only a man less and the busy
world moves on forgetfully.

THEY SMOKE.
Jolly Good Time Given BY Rono-
lulu Cricket Club.

The assembly room of the American
League, corner of Nuuanu and King
streets, was crowded last night, the
event being one Of those good, old
time smokers. where all cares are for
gotten and a jolly good time is indulg-
ed in. Nearly 80 men were present,
and the Honolulu Cricket Club has the
credit Of furnishing a more than pleas
ant evening to these.
The hall was very attractively dec
GRATED. The platform, where the presi-
dent of the evening, DR.. H. V. Murray,
was seated was the center of attrac-
ton. Queen Victorias portrait, on a
large frame, was surrounded by Eng
lish flags, while plants of various kinds
completed the decorations of that place.
All around the walls of the hall, and
extending from ceiling TO floor, were

ACTED AS INTERPRETERS.
!. b. Castle Does Capt. Palmer a
Good Turn.

On the overland train from San
Francisco, leaving May 18th, Capt.
julius Palmer was escorting Mrs. Hele-
luhe to Washington. He was unable
to communicate with her, as she did
not speak the English language. Mr..
J. B. Castle was also on the train, and
on discovering the situation, offered
to act as Interpreter, on behalf of ga
native Hawaiian in distress" Capt
Palmer gladly accepted the services,
and for the rest of the trip, as occasion
required. Mr.. Castle communicated the
wants of the native lady to Capt. Palm
er who observed that political differ
ences should not interfere with COM
mon courtesies," etc. The Captain de-
livered his charge to Mrs. Domin1s, in
Washington. This lady appears to be
waiting for action on annexation, and
will be sadly disappointed should the
matter go over until the next Winter.

CLOSING EXERCISES.
Gymnasium at Y. NJ. C.. A. Grow.

|
ded Last Night.
The floor and gallery of the Y. NJ G.
! A. was crowded to its capacity last
night to witness the closing exercises
in the gymnasium.
Since Secretary Coleman's arrival in
the city he has organized the gymna-
SUM to full running capacity and has
had regular class work for the past
very good and regular. Among the
junior members and the young men
too.
AS is usual with the associations
elsewhere, it was considered advisable
by the Physical Department Commit
tee to discontinue the regular work in
the gymnasium during the summer and
turn the attention to out-of-door sports.
The Physical Committee are to meet
today at noon to make arrangements
for organizing a track team.
The exhibition last night was a pre-
sentation of the representative work
of the gymnasium. First on the pro-
gram was a bar bell drill by the Junior
department with Master Seymore Hall
leader. and was executed in a very good
and pleasing manner and was con-
elusive eidence that the gymnasium
is of benefit to the boys For this
drill and the dumb bell drill by the
young men. w. L. Fletcher the Associ-
alton pianist offfciated at the instru-
ment and helped TO make the drills
very inspiring. The dumb bell drill
was an example of the body building
work and showed an all-round and
very profitable exercise. Six of the
Junior members contested in an Indian
club race. that was quite exciting.
Master Walterson was the champion
of the evening.
The most skillful exhibition of the
evening was the performance on the
horizontal bar. as executed by Mr.. Sam
Johnson Arthur Giles and Bonnie
Clark Quite a number of perform
ances were executed that showed
and accuracy in muscular
Judgment. It also showed very good
training and was another evidence of
the high standard of the work that has
been done in the Y. NJ. G. A. gymna-
SUM. AS a concluding number, four
of the young men played a game of
hand ball and showed to good adyan- !
tage, the benefit and pleasure of the /
new sport.

Epworth League Entertainment.

The Weather last Friday night was very
inclement, but it did not prevent the en-
tertainment given by the Epworth League
at the Town Hall from being decided
success in nearly every particular. A large
crowd attended, and from financial stand
point, the affair was complete success.
Only one thing was unsatisfactory, the re-
freshments gave out, much larger crowd
being present than was anticipated. The
different numbers of the programme were
well executed. The tableauX were very
beautiful, the recitations excellent, and the
music very fine, All of the young ladies
who participated, including the Sleeping
Beauty, were as pretty as pictures, while
the Young gentlemen, including the Prince,
were handsome to behold. The orchestral
music, which was hastily gotten up, was
good, and speaks favorably for the musical
talent of Tazewell. We wisl. we had space
to make particular mention Of all the ladies
and gentlemen who took part in the enter
tainnent. They deserve it.

GENERAL NEWS.

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher died at the
home Of her son-in-law, Rev. Samuel
Scoville, in Stanford, Conn.,, on the morn
ing Of the Sth inst. She had reached a
very old age.
a man by the name Of Jesus Camprehe
died, at Guadalapaja, Mex, last Friday,
who claimed to be 154 years old; and
supported his claim with copies of a church
register at Valladolid, Spain, showing the
date of his birth and baptism to be Dec.
18th, l742.
President Mckinley has issued a procla-
nation calling Congress together in extra
session on next Monday, the 18th inst
to take action upon such matters as may
be called 10 lis attention by the Chief
Executive.
1t is reported that the japanese are in
vading the Indian markets with man
utactured articles iraudulently labeled
u. s. A.
Out in California a new industry has
sprung up, that Of hunting Jack rabbits
for their pelts. They are readily sold to
hat Manufacturers in the East.
The Galold (Kansas) Herald i'll its des-
cription Of a recent banquet, held at that
place, tries to impress its readers with the
magn;fcence of the affair, and among other
things says; ''They had butter on two
dishes and everything like that"
The admira!s of the foreign fleets at Ca
nea demanded that the Greek warships
leave Cretan waters within twenty four
hours. To this Command Commodore
Reinicll, commanding the Greek warship
Hydra, replied that he would only obey
the orders of his government. If the ship
was sunkhe declared she would salute the
foreign flags as she went down. A brave and
splendid rebuke to the so-called Christian
powers that are upholding the barbarous
Turks against the Greeks
1t is now settled that DR.. Ruiz, who was
so cruelty murderel by the Spanish author
tiles in prison in Cuba, was natural
lied citizen of the United States. The
Spanish government is trying to create the
impression that it was q case of suicide,
but it looks more like foul murder.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

There are strong indications of general
European War. The "sick man." as Tur
key is called will be the cause. Greece
has replied to the demand of the great
powers for the withdrawal of her forces
from Crete, and refused to Withdraw. 1t
is understood the powers will seek to en-
force their demand. This will be certain
to provoke immediate hostilities between
Greece and Turkey. The flame once kin
died there is no telling where it will end.
IT is announced that President McKin-
ley will appoint Harold Sewall, son of the
Democratic Vice Presidential candidate,
Minister to Hawaii. 1t will be remembered
that Harold Sewall warmly supported the
Republican ticket in the late election,
though his father was candidate on the
Democratic ticket.
If sympathy is worth anything in
helping Greece in her present struggle
with Turkey backed by the powers, the
plucky little country will come out all
right. She has the sympathy of the people
of the civilized world.
The Atlanta Evening Constitution"
speaks these sensible words. "The thing
to do during the next four years is to de-
velop our resources, fill the air with the
hum Of industry, provide employment
for honest labor, and make peace and pros.
peri:y the abiding guests at every fireside.
This promises to be an era OF prosperity.
We can make it so by dropping politics for
while and pulling together"
These are noble expressions from one of
the defeated, and equally true as noble.
If followed by all the people there will be
no complaint of "hard times" during the
next four years,
If there is to be a factional fight, between
what are known as the factions of the Re-
publican party in Virginia, for the Fed
eral positions in the State, we trust Pres
ident Mr.. Mckinley will ignore both fac
tions.

Col. Boone for Development.

We clip from Campbell's Bulletin, pub
lished at Murphy, N. c., the following
notice of Col. w. I. Boone, who recently
visited that town:
"Col. W. I. Boone, of Tazewell, Va,
late editor of the REPUBLICAN: at that
place, spent some time here this week. He
was very much impressed with the business
future of Murphy, and bis first suggestion
for the development ofthe town was good
water system, then large hotel with sew
e al hundred rooms, next an eight page,
ali home print paper, to invite population.
1t really made us feel many years younger
to associate with and hear Col. Boone talk
about the town and the resources of the
country"
