NEWS AND OBSERVERS BCLETIN
People of Raleigh Given all Reliable
News as it Happens.

The streets of Raleigh were crowded
with people all day yesterday. eagerly
inquiring for war news and discussing
the situation.
\ favorite resort and perpetual war
centre was the News and Observer hul-
letin board in front of the Marlborough
House. All day long there was crowd
of interested, anxious persons pausing
before the board To read the news from
Washington, Havana and Madrid, be-
tween the printing times of the morn
ing News and Observer and the Evenins
Times.
The board kept matters up to the war
pitch until midnight last night. and no
mistake about that. 1t has even been
limited that the situation has rocked
leisurely along mp To- this time, waiting
for this arrangement to be made for dis
pensing the news. AT any rate not less
than Il hundred people yesterday after
noon and last night blockaded the street
to get glimpse of the information on
the board.
1t was the men who stood around this
board, smoked vile cigars and discussed
the probability of a war in which they
had no intention of fighting. The women
stayed ut home and had to resort to the
telephone bell. All day long mo. 90
was ringing and when Hello" was
shouted by an impatient over-worked edi-
tor, a soft voice whispered in his ear:
please sir. tell me the latest about the
war;"
1t is needless to say that she inva-
| riably got the best he had in the shop.

yer will maintain its bulletin service and
