Pinafore on the 18th inst, has been
or several weeks rehearsing the caste
and chorus, and it has been the inten-
ton of the managers heretofore to al
so play "a Trial by jury" but owing
to bad attendance the managers had to
give up all hope Of staging the latter.
The instructors gave as their excuse
that there has been littleior no interest
displayed by the caste in comprehend
iog the score for "a Trial by Jury"
and declares that they have had their
hands full to secure good rehearsals
for Pinafore.
The cast has caused considerable
delay but the chorus is in an excellent
condition and has been well drilled.
The chorus which is quite q heavy
one will ably support the caste and
with few more rehearsals all will be
completed save the scenery pictures
which are now being painted.

Northern Negroes are again appeal
ing to the President to use the power
of the governments against the perpe
traitors OF southern outrages upon Ne
groes. New York, Boston, Chicago
and Philadelphia will again start up
their resolution grinders. Race pros
poets are discouraging when nearly
half OF our leading men confess this as
last resort. Never will precautions
against the Negroes be stopped by
force, outside Of the individual or the
race. There is no sense in appeals to
the President and especially Mckinley
There is no wisdom in the Negroes en-
deavor to force a settlement OF racial
differences by the power of q political
party. Let US all come together and
send petition to France or some 9th
or nation and ask for help. There is

ANOTHER BRILLIANT MARRIAGE
Many Reoeptions-Ths Queen is Dead
-Breyities Boiled Down.


Last sunday was another day which
seemed to have carried with it an in
wigorating effect. Our people turned
out well at our churches.
Communion services were held at
the Moore ST.. and Fifth st. Baptist
Churches. They were much enjoyed
Dy al present.
The usual services were conducted
at other churches.
We learn that Mr.. Cornelius Munford
the great profundo basso OF the First
Baptist Church, Manchester, lmade
quite n Shit" at the Ebenezer Church
ON last Monday night. especially in the
solo, Sweet Peace" He was encored
again and again.
On last Wednesday night most brill
liant marriage took place at the First
Baptist Church. the contracting. par
ties being Mr.. William Collins and Miss
Lucy j. White. About 10 o'clock the
bridal party entered in the following
order: Messrs. Willie Mason and w. A.
Payne, George Tinsley and Geo. Jones.
VIM. II. Burrell and groom, Robert
Nelson and Miss Emma James, Mr. j.
r. Hicks and bride. Messrs. W. B. Gun
ningham and Wise Ellis were church
nshers. Tickets were required for adj
mission. consequently there was quite
an orderly gathering. After an appro-
PIRATE marriage ceremony had been
performed, the bridal party retired to
Hayes hall where q grand reception
Svas held.

SENIOR SAGASTA SAD.
His Emotion on the Conclusion of
the Peace Negotiations.
oARLIsT UPRISING IMMINENT.

The Spanish Government Has Ordered
TO Maintain the Strictest Vigilance
Over Teiegraphs and Telephones.
Madrid. Nov 80. Senior Sagasta
showed much emotion on learning that
the Spanish commissioners In Paris had
formally agreed to sign the treaty of
peace on the American conditions, but
he assured his friends that he was con-
WINGED he had adopted the best course
in the interests Of the country and the
monarchy. adding that the news had
lifted great weight from the minds
OF the people.
The government. apprehensive as to
the effects of signing the peace treaty.
has ordered the military and civil au-
thorities to maintain the greatest vigi-
lance over kilograms and telephones. A
strict censorship of newspapers is con-
tinued throughout the country. and
special severity Is shown with respect
to articles abiding to the peace nego-
tiations
Unfavorable information had been
received. even from official sources.
concerning the Carlist propaganda and
preparations, which are decidedly as
Stunning serious proportions. Eel Epoca
says that Carlism is spreading, not
only in Biscay, but in Guipuzcoa. a
Basque province bordering on France,
and in places hitherto tranquil. The
Bilbao papers report official precau-
lions there owing to the smuggling of
muskets-
Other papers assert that the Carlists
are openly offering in Madrid and else
where commissions for officers and
daily pay at three pesetas for volun-
teers- There is much anxiety in finan-
cial and political circles lest the Carlists
seize the opportunity which is pre-
scented by the profound disappointment
of the country at the loss of the Phil
ippines. after the government had un-
wisely led the nation to believe the
archipelago would be retained.
The Carlists do not conceal their in
teEtion to issue a manifesto. though
| the government has issued orders foi
the severe repressions of any disturb
ance. Many noted civil and military
Carlist leaders have been abroad fol
| some time. and there it no doubt the
| CaTlists have collected funds in Spain
! ii not abroad. Their propaganda in
the army, however has been unsuc-
cessful, even among the disconnected
| repatriated soldiers. who were ex.
pected to become willing recruits.

DO NOT oHEER. MEN ARE DYING

D0 not cheer FOR men are dying,
Eon Their distant homes in pain,
And me restless sea is darkened,
With flood of crimson rain.
DO not cheer while anxious mothers,
Wait and walsh in lonely dread,
Vsinly waiting for the footsteps,
Never more their hearts to tread.
Do not sheer while little children
Gather refund the widowed wife.
Wondering why an unknown people,
Sought their Own dear fathers life.
Do rot cheer while lips and paliHg,
90 which lay the mothers kiss,
ND sne dreadful war of battle;
How that mothers hand they miss
1,o not cheer when aged fathers.
Bend above their slaves and weep,
While the ocean sings th 2 requiem,
Where their fallen children sleep.
Do not cheer once. joyous maidens,
Who the may dance did t. end,
Bow their heads in bitter anguish.
Mourning DER their cherished dead
Do not cheer while man and maiden,
In this strife must bear apart:
Whan the blow that strikes soldier,
Pierces TO some woman's heart.
DO not cheer It'll arbitration,
Ger the nations holds it's sway;
And the century now closing,
Usher in brighter day.
DO not cheer, bat from this hour,
Let tbs world more thoughtful grow
Than to stauDch stream OF SORROW,
BY an avalanche OF woe-
Do not cheer until each nation
Sheathes the sword and blunts tn
spear, i.----
And we sing aloud for gladness,
Lo the reign of Christ is here
And each ensign OF destruction,
From the battle field is furled.
And the peace of God descending
Rests upon a restless werld.
