Acadcmy-"The World Against Her."

A very small audience greeted Miss Ag-
nes Wallace Villa in THE World Against
Her last night at the Academy. 1t was
not only small in numbers, but also lack
ed the enthusiasm which is generally
shown when a play OF this description Is
on the boards. TO he compelled to sit for
three hours and watch Miss villa, who is
old enough to know better, atteIA2t to play
the part of sweet young girl, is, 10 say
the least, productive of ennui, but to have
this actress introduce as the leading ju-
venile her own daughter is rather more
than a Washington audience seemed to
be able to put up with. The play, like the
most of Frank HarYey's, is bad and the
players are little better Henry Pember-
ton is doubtless the best member of the
cast, and his Gilbert Blair is at times
rather well done Among the others in
the company were Harry Pleon. Frank
Kilday, Maurice Hedge. NeO Byron and
Lucie X. Villa.

A Beautiful Tradition.

There is an old-time superstition that
when death occurs in family where bees
are kept they must he told of it or they
will desert their hives and stores and seek a
new home. The following beautiful poem
is founded upon this tradition:
TELLING THE lees.
Out of the house where the. slumberer Law,
Grandfather came one summer day,
And under the pleas mt orchard trees
He spake this wise to the uurmurinp bees .
:" The clover bloom that kissed her feet
And the posie-bed where she used to play
Have honey store, but none so sweet
AS ere our little one Went away.
O bees, sing soft and, bees sing low;
For she is gone who loved you so"
A wonder fell on the listening bees,
Under those pleasant orchard trees,
And i'll their toll that summer day
Ever their murmurng seemed to say
Child, . child. the grass is cool
And the posles are waking to hear the
song
OF the bird that swings by the shaded
pool,
Waiting for one that tarrieth long"
Twas so they called to the little one then,
As if to call her back again.
o gentle bees, 1 have come to say
That grandfather fell asleep to-day,
And we know by the smile on grandfather's
face
He has found his dear ones biding place.
So, bees, sing, soft, and, bees. sing low.
AS over the honey fields you sweep
To the trees abloom and the flowers ablow
Sing of grandfather fast asleep;
And ever beneath these orchard trees
Find cheer and shelter gentle bees.

training. AS thew learn bv observation

| training. AS they learn by observation
and practice how to sew and how to cook
they reduce to writing the Impressions
gained. They write down rules and meth
DDS of cutting, fitting, sewing, also reci-
pes and preparation of food. Thus they
not only obtain practical experience, but
also intellectual training.
Some little while ago party of gentle
men, who are annually interested in the
expenses OF the District, inquired what
| became of the articles prepared at the
| cooking schools. The answer was that
the children ate them. What! Ate them?
| Why were they not sold? Let us see what
was the value of the raw material thus
eaten by the children and learn how much
the District has lost by the goods not
being sold. Last year there were in the
cooking schools 2, 40S pupils, and the
grocery bill was $S37.67 about So cents
per pupil. AS there are about thirty i've
per week, each girl on an average actually
| ate up one cents worth of food per week.
, The unconsconable little sinners! Is it
any wonder our estimates are cut down?
EDUCATED HOUSEKEEPING.
Yes, at this paltry expense for mate
rial used, the girls of this city, as far as
| Strengthened environment will permit, are
being prepared as competent housekeep-
ers. Nor need any advocate of woman S
higher education complain. Grade for
grade, the girls keep abreast with the
| boys. The latter go to their ''solid'' work
and the former to their cooking, at stated
hours. Each sex is being taught the
manual training appropriate to itself, and
with the two distinct classes of manual
training the mental training keeps on
apace with equal step. The regrettable
feature is that, while the boys, though in
cramped environment, proceed to higher
and more expansive forms of manual
training, the girls, perforce, must stop at
the eighth grade because we lack accom-
modations and facilities for continuing
and enlarging the work done in the gram
mar school grades. Bacon said that all
the field of knowledge should be his.
Feasible in his day, this is impossible to
any one mind now. But the varied field
of knowledge should be so open that each
may cultivate his own part. LET each
have his own" In no better OF more ad
| vantageous way can energies and money
be expended than in training the youth of
a country. The world to- day is what its
educated children have made it. Receiv
ing from our progenitors the education
which in our day was the best to be had,
let us give to our children the best we now
have. Receiving the accumulated and
improved knowledge, be it ours to pass it
on to future generations, enhanced by our
efforts and study.
Manual training, the educator of hand,
eye and brain, the practical in itself and
the enhancer of that which is purely men
tai, cries aloud for encouragement, and
should receive it in this community. w.

The idle tale for summer day,
The priceless treasure Of hlood-bought lore
The rhymes we lief: on our nursery floor =
One strange palimpsest in all, ye find
AS old and as glorious as mankind!
All, woe to the soul that dares to bring
From this gift of the Spirit an evil thing;
Who fashions lie and calls it true,
And sends ii forth in the world to do
Its mighty mischief whose black heart-sin
Is book and the devil that hides therein!
And shame to the soul that seeks to read
The page that begets desire or deed
Unworthy who turns from the temple
door
To grovel and creep on charnel foor
But to him who searches his heart to give
A book that shall make men strong to live,
Be an immortal brotherhood
With God, who creates and gives only good
And honor and Joy to the child W ho stands
With that open book in his little hands,
And passes, cleared-eyed and dauntess
through
Its revelations, to think, to do,
To love, as a servant of Cod
Oh friends
This is the story that never ends.
The story All no. face to face are we
With quickening immortality.
These arches for our communion keep
The heart of Dante, passionate, deep,
The voice of TalIesin breaking its bars,
The speech of Homer like marching stars,
The mind of Plato, married to truth,
The soul of Christ in its matchiess youth
And if We Will muse a little space,
In the holy silence that fills this place,
Ye shall lift your eyes, and--everv one
Behold this message spelled! by the sun,
The Spirit message told, yet once more,
In the fair rose window over the door l.
ii knows the secret Of time, indeed,
Who, seeking the light, comes hither tt
read.

About this time of year the towns
and cities of North Carolina that have
had their charters ''monkeyed" with
by the Fusionists begin To consider what
is best to do to remedy the evil that
has been wrought in their system Of
government.
Raleigh comes in this class. and its
officials and pnhlic-sprited citizens gem
orally are already beginning to discuss
the amendments to the charter that the
Legislature ought to he asked to pass.
1t is generally agreed that there ought
TO he Il number of amendments. but just
what is the rock ON which public opinion
splits. Some are quite radical in their
views and contend that the knife ought
to be pnt deep. Others, more conserva-
tive. argue that in view of the fact that
there are so many more important mat
ters TO he attended to during the short
session of the General Assembly, only
such changes as are absolutely necessary
and ON which everybody can unite ought
to be proposed.
To this end the city attorney has been
asked to prepare the amendments CON
sidered most necessary and submit
them to the Board OF Aldermen for
adoption before bringing them before
the Legislature. Though Mr.. Busbee
has not yet put these amendments in
shape they will be in substance as fol-
lows
1. Authority to levy tax on tele-
graph and telephone poles in the city.
> Extension of the jurisdiction of the
police to Raleigh township.
3. Make the office of mayor an hon
orary one without salary and authorize
the Board OF Aldermen TO elect Il Trial
Justice, who is to be paid a salary.
A. Redistrict the city. giving each pre-
cinct, as it now stands. two aldermen.
This would give the Democrats twelve
Of the sixteen aldermen, there being
two Republicans from the Third and two
from the Fourth wards.
:. Revise the provisions of the char
ter touching the paving of streets. so rs
to make it clear and overcome certain
defects that now exist in this part of
the city law.
Further examination may show other
changes that ought TO be made, or dis
cusson of the changes above proposed
jected.
No attempt will this year be made il
is stated, to extend the city limits.
The most radical measure proposed
above is that of making the office OF
mayor Il purely honorary one and put
ting the work of the courts now per
formed by him on n trial justice. This
| ii is argued, would give the office much
greater dignity and honor and would
cause it to be sought after by only 4
very superior class Of men.
The mayors duties would then be
very light, such as representing the city
| in an official capacity on public occa-
sions. presiding at meetings of the
| Board Of Aldermen and having genera
supervision of the city government. with
power Of suspension or removal of lower

Additional Testimony as 10 the Merits Of
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy,

A gentleman remarked recently that
had stranger or an outsider come to
North Carolina, and made the cures
among our people that Mrs. Joe Per
sons Remedy had made, the people
would have been stirred as never before.
Read this and suppose a case:
Eleven years ago j had a child that
was delicate from birth, and for SIX
months she was under constant care of
the best physician we had in our town.
But his medicine seemed powerless to
control the bowel trouble, which had be
come chronic dysentery. She also sur
fered from some aggravated blood trout
BILE, which caused large sores and risingS
to break out on her body. Oft time
there would be as many as 20 or %.
We had several doctors to treat her al
different times, but nothing reached hen
case. They would lance these risings,
but as soon as one was cured another
broke out. and the doctors gave me no
hope of her cure. After she had led
a life of agony and suffering for six
months. | was inspired to try Mrs. Joe
Persons Remedy. There was change
for the better in twentyfour hours, il
seemed to check the bowels at once, and
HIItE uSluS Il lew UOllltS my emu was
entirely cured, and has never since had
any sign of the trouble, and is now in
perfect health. A few years after this
| had two sores to break out on my
ankle. and strange to say / did not think
of Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy. i was UNI
der the treatment of doctors for three
years, but the sores continued to get
worse until they had eaten to the bone.
then thought of trying Mrs. Joe Per
sons Wash and did so, and it is almost
useless to say it soon made cure.

man, woman and child in North Caro-
lima could hear me, that / might tell

and Wash did for me and mine. ! advised
one of my friends who had been terri

it to fail to cure yet. There is no medi-
cine equal to it,
