RALEIGH, n. c., May 19.-(SpeciaI.)-
There were great many people on the
parade-ground this afternoon to witness
the last dress parade of the First Regi-
ment. Only the clothing and arms of the
recruits were needed 20 make 1t fine
spectacle. The officers are well mounted.
The improvement in drill and bearing
has been remarkable.

Interest now centres in the Democratic
State Convention and what 1t VIII do IN
the matter of cooperation with the Pop
ulists. 1t is perfectly safe to bet that
the Democrats will not accept any propo-
sitlon. The Populists are divided Oh
that there is no doubt. 1t is safe to say
that many of them by no means consider
themselves bound by the action of their
convention. The convention made de-

While the spirit of worldliness Is un-
mistakably creeping over our modern
pulpit. it is evident from the incidsns
which occurred at Camp Lee, near Rich-
mond, Va. on last Sunday afternoon thas
divine worship, even at the present time,
may be invested with much Of its old
fashioned purity and sweetness.
Camp Lee Is the place where the Virs

presence OF this distinguished soldier ex-
cited much enthusiasm on TIE part or thd
immense congregation. This enthusiasm
was suppressed in some measure untit

services. when the pent-up feelings %
the congregation could endure the stfaiU

from every part OF the Auditorium Un-

PUNDITA RAMABAI TO LECTURE.
This Wonderful Woman to Speak mt
n A

the Y. VI. &. 4. TO-MOrrOw.
The lecture TO be delivered at the
Young Mems Christian Association Hall
this afternoon by Pundita Ramabai will
prove an event of unusual interest.
The story of the life and work Of this
wonderful little woman is both ro-
mantle and thrilling. She came TO this
country first in 1885. invited by Dean
Rachel Bodley, a noble Quakeress, who
was dean of the Female Medical Col
lege Of Philadelphia. Befrended by this
good woman, and aided by the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. she was
finally brought before a large audience
i'm Boston. There she made an ardent
plea for means to establish home for
high caste child widows, TO be under
no denominational influence. She wished
TO gather there those high caste widows
who would not go to the Christian mis-
sonary, and by the influence of this
home break down the barriers which
kept them from Christian teaching. She
was herself baptized Christian, but
had never Joined any denomination, be-
ing bewildered by the various creeds
which were presented to her. She said
The result of Ramabafs appeal was
the establishment of the Boston Associa-
ton i'm May. 1887 The officers of this
association represented various denomi-
nations The Board of Trustees, COM
posed of business and professional men
of high standing, was unsectarian. From
Nav. 1887 to November. 1883. this daunt-
less little woman of 30 years of age
travelled through Canada and the North,
going no further South than Washing
ton. Thence she travelled through the
West TO San Francisco. There she es-
tablished a strong auxiliary association.
Her work during this period was directed
towards forming circles pledged TO give
her. pecuniary help, and in studying the
educational. philanthropc, and chart
table institutions Of this country.
In February, 1889, she reached India,
and in six weeks opened in Bombay the
Sharada Sadan. or School of Wisdom, FOR
high caste widows, which was some years
later moved TO Poona.
In her lecture to be delivered at the
Young Mems Christian Association to-
morrow evening she will tell Of ten years
OF trial. peris. and difficulties through
which she passed triumphantly. because
of her sublime faith in the Divine Power
which had called her TO the work The
most thrilling recountal she Will tell will
be OF the establishment OF the Mukti
Mission one year ago. thirty-six miles
from Poona All who attend the lee
ture will hear how she rescued three
hundred high caste widows and children
from pestilence and famine. The faith
which enabled her TO raise 10000 to-
wards this mission. which she COM
menced with 80 cents. is indeed marvel
lous and inspiring. 1t Is hoped that a
large audience will have the privilege
OF seeing and hearing this remarkable
woman.

An In,pressive Feature.

Washington, Aug. 13.-With SIM
plicity in keeping with republican in
situations, the war which has ragged be-
tween Spain and the United States for
period of three months and twenty
two days was quietly terminated at
% minutes past four o'clock Friday
afternoon when Secretary Day for the
United States and NJ. Cambon for
Spain, in the presence Of President
Mckinley. signed a protocol which will
form the basis of definite treaty Of
peace. 1t is but simple justice to our
sister republic of France to record the
fact that to, her good Offices this speedy
termination of war that might have
run on indefinitely was brought about
and the president himself deemed that
action on. the part of the French gov
ernment as worthy of Ais special
praise.
