The annual supper given by the men
of All Souls parish took place Tuesday
night, and was in every way high
success. The committee in charge
bought, cooked and served everything,
assisted by Mr. G. S. Yeaw, and it was
indeed a generous spread that was set
before $50 persons or more. There had
been some misunderstanding on the
part of the caterer as to the hour, but
when at last the escaloped oysters ar
rived and were borne in piping hot. the
sensation created was even greater than
that caused subsequently by the ad-
vent of the ice cream. The gentlemen of
the committee, all of whom, arrayed in
immaculate white jackets, were in at
tendance at the tables, were Messrs
George Rice, ]. f. Bicknell, Herbert
Spared, T. T. Booth, George Kingston

PRlTc4AR0 AND THE IUDGESHlP /,

After calling at the White House and
learning that the President would not
appoint him TO succeed Judge Dick, the
Republican Senator from North Caro-
lima causes a telegram TO he sent out
stating that he could not under any
circumstance" accept the Federal
Judgeship
The truth is that Senator Pritchard
desired the appointment beyond his
chiefest joy. The President likes him
and would not be averse ordinarily to
gratifying his ambition. There is one
insuperable obstacle in the way. The
Republicans need votes in the United
States Senate. Pritchard is there until
1908. He votes just as Mckinley, Hanna
and A. B. Andrews want him to vote.
Ii he should 90 on the bench, RusseA's
appointee would serve until March 1899,
and he might not be acceptable. After
March, 1899, a Democrat would take
his place and it is certain he would not
be acceptable. Mckinley and Hanna
have had taste of a Senatorial contest
in rock-ribbed Republican State, They
are afraid of one in strong silver State
like North Carolina. They are afraid
they could not buy another Legislature
as they did that of 1897. Besides they
do not care to incur the expense and
there are other things that give them
trouble without taking up one that is
not necessary.
Herein lies the explanation of the
telegram that under no consideration
would Senator Pritchard accept the ap-
pointment."

PLAIN SPEAKING.

London, Jan. 18.-The country general
Iy is greatly pleased by the announce
ment made by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, at
Swansea, last might, in which he echoed
the previous declarations of Mr.. Bal
four, at Manchester, on the Indian policy
of the Government, and added that the
Ministers were determined, even at the
cost of war, that the door of Chinese
commerce should not be shut to Great
Britain. This declaration is recognized
as clearly defining the Governments
position, and both the Liberal and Con-
servative newspapers commend the
plain speaking.

LET HER HAVE JUSTICE.
washington Messenger.)

The latest turn in the Hancock scan
day is, the Baptist church in Newbern
of which he was q member, has expelled
him from the membership of the church.
Right. Now if the Methodist church
will expel Ex-Minister Lumley, who left
the North Carolina Conference under a
cloud, from its communion, the next
step in doing justice to this unfortunate
girl will be accomplished We cannot
conceive of more degrading roll that n
ex-minister can play than seek to cover
or suppress charges of this character
after they are made by the victim and
then in the interest of the perpetrator
of the terrible deed influence the poor
ruined girl to add falsehood to her
shame 1t is adding insult to injury, and
will only be another link in the chain Of
circumstancial evidence that points us
truly to the guilt of Hancock as the
needle points to the pole We have al
ways been taught that the concealer of
stolen goods was as bad as the thief.
If true, then is not the man who viii
seek to assist another to cover up
crime that blasts the future of young
woman for all time and adds the addi-
ffonal crime of perjury to her name, as
bad as her seducer? We may be mis-
taken, but there is more heart rending
scenes around that unhappy affair than
we have ever known before, that call
for the pity and aid of every good citi-
zen who would protect virtue and seek to
have a crime as odious as this relent-
lessly punished. Here is poor girl liv-
ing in the home, she is taken to dis
tant State, betrayed ,seduced, threaten
ed and intimidated, this continues after
her return to the home and continues
until death is preferable to life. In her
distress she tells her mother the story
Of her wrongs, the mother appeals to the
courts, able counsel are employed, the
ex-minister appears on the scene, the
suit is withdrawn and the mothers
name is signed to the note withI 'aw
Ing the suit. We do not know nil that is
Lehind the curtain, and only have pity
for the mother and pray God to have
n Grey upon Fer. VIII the grand jnry
of historic old Craven fail to So the
/ wrongs inflicted upon this poorSgirl, sur
rounded with such influences righted
We hope not.

THE "WAVl" OF PR0SPERl ~.

The one hundred and twenty-five
thousand operatives in the New England
cotton factories whose wages have been
reduced may join Hanna in his thank
fulness that .God reigns," but they will
not rejoice that ''the Republican party
still lives" They viii rather be disposed
to curse themselves and all others who
voted to give a new lease of life to that
party in 1896 upon the false promise that
it would restore prosperity. Lower wages
for operatives and bigger profits to
trusts and monopolies have followed in
AIcKinley's wake. The monopolists
bought the election; they are getting a
return for their investments. The people
who voted with them now see how they
were made to pull chestnuts out Of the
fire

THE OPERATIVES STRIKE.

New Bedford.

The Interest Centered in the Strike at
New Bedford.
Boston. Mass, Jan. 1S.-Grim deter.
mination on the part of both sides, cor-
pied with a defined issue between EN-
player and employe as well as practical
" an absence of any sign Of demonstra'
ton, were the features of the second day
in the great strike in the cotton industry.
As yesterday, interest centered almost
entirely in the strike at New Bedford
where the disturbances. of yesterday led
to the belief that a similar demonstration
might be attempted to-day. Nothing OF
the kind occurred and the strikers
strengthened their cause by making the
question Of fines a definite issue with the
mill owners.
1t is just possible that an agreement
on this question may lead to some salts
factory ending of the whole matter in
that city, although at present such an
outcome seems far distant. The matter
of financial support to the strikers was
generally discussed, not only in New
Bedford, but in Biddeford, Saco and
Lewiston, Maine, and while the union
strikers seem to have NO anxiety regard
ing the next three months, the non-union
men who are out fear that they may not
receive sufficient support.
The hundred thousand operatives in
all six of the New England States are
watching the contest in New Bedford
Saco and Middeford very closely.

A DEN OF GAMBLERS PULLED.
A Negro Gaming Room on Corner Of
Blount and Martin Streets.

Blount and Martin Streets.
1t has long been suspected that there
was gambling den in the old building
en- the corner of South Blount and East
Martin streets. Yesterday the suspicion
became certainty, and half a dozen
negroes were heavily fined and as many
more will he tried to-day.
And it all grew out of one little fight
or, rather, things said by one of the
witnesses on the stand. Lee Lamson,
Joe Vaughn and Len Gillian were ar
raigned for an affray in bar near the
corner of Blount and Martin streets.
Neither one was badly hurt, but the
Mayor examined the numerous witness
es carefully to ascertain the origin of
the difficulty. 1t was very difficult to
get at the bottom of the trouble. The
witnesses We're very reticent, but the
fact was developed that Lee and Joe
had just come from UPSTAIRS in the cor
ner building and. that the difficulty start
ed there.
The next witness was Osborn Brown.
He said he rented a room over the cor
ner building. but denied having been in
the room while Lee and Joe were there,
or having any idea OF how the trouble
started. The next witness swOre that
Brown was in the room, and that, fur
thermore, it was a regular place for
gambling. The Mayor asked him who
he had seen in there, and he began to
name some of the colOred people right
and left. The games principally in vogue
were dice, poker, seven-up, and a game
of chance called sweeps"
The Mayor took the names of the par
ties given by the witness, and had all
that could be found Immediately ar
rested.
Among them, besides Lee Lawson, Joe
Vaughn and Len Gillian, were Wash.
Jones, Sherman Jones and Osborn
Brown. They were tried yesteray after
noon. Vaughn and Lawson were fined
1915 each; Osborn Brown and Wash.
and Sherman Jones SO each.
This morning half dozen others who
have been gambling will be tried.
1t seems that two rooms have been in
full blast in this building-one owned by
Osborn Brown and one by Albert Biggs
and Tom Davis. Davis and Biggs have
not been caught.
