One OF the interesting events OF the
dramatic season IL the elaborate revival
OF Meg Merrllies" by Mime. Jnnau-
schek. who is presenting with great
success new version OF the play.
This now version OF the play was
made by Paul Kester. and differs rad
icolly from the old one used by Char
lotto Cushman and Nine. Janauschek
and from the DAILY version In which
Miss Ada Iiehan appeared In New York
two or three seasons ago. Like the
DAILY version, Mr.. Kester's play opens
with a prologue showing Meg before
the expulsion Of the gypsles from Dern-
oleughn. some 10 or 20 years prior to
the period at which the old play begins.
The new play Is In Ave compact dlyI-
sions and dispenses with the singing
and the farolcal elements that detracted
30 much from the dignity OF the work.
II Will be remembered that Mime. jan
nuscheRs last appearance was in

the same author, In which she was sur
rounded by n powerful company and In
which her splendid Interpretation OF the
Countess Dimltrl created deep i'm

THE BEST OF YEARS
St. Mary's Had a Brilliant
Opening Yesterday.
MORNINGS EXERCISES
The Enrolment Reached 1856 and Of This Num-
Der So We're Boarding Students. A
Number of Young Ladies Ar
rived in the Afternoon.

The 5Sth annual session of st. Mary $
School began most auspiciously yester-
day at noon. Beside the faculty and
students many, friends of this old and
increasingly popular institution attended
the opening ceremonies, which were held
in the chapel of the school, fifty decora-
ted for the occasion.
The services were participated in by
Bishop Cheshire, DR.. NJ. M. Marshall,
of Christ church: DR.. |. Nick. Pitten-
ger, of the Church of the Good Shep-
herd, and Rev. Il. ID. Bratton, rector
Of the school,
OF the Board of Trustees there were
present Mr.. w. A. Erwin, of Durham;
DR.. Il. II. Lewis, Mr. X. H. Battle,
Prof. u. 7. Moses, of this city.
The exercises began with a short
morning service, after which the rector
made an appropriate address Of well
come. He was followed by Bishop
Cheshire, who told of the splendid work
done for the church and for education
by Mr. Bratton's predecessors at St.
Mary's. He felt sure that time would
show that DR.. Smedes had found a
worthy successor i'll Mr.. Bratton and
congratulated the school upon the fact
that so many of last years efficient
teaching force had returned this year.
After the religious exercises, part of
which were choral, occasional hymn
was sung and those present repaired to
the parlors of the school where an i'm
formal reception was held for the stu
dents by the Bishop of the Diocese and
4 u. n X1.y II
tees.
The number of students present yes
terday made a notwithstanding begin
ming, 1856 being enrolled, of which num-
Der IS are boarding pupils. A large
number of young ladies who arrived
by the afternoon train were too late
for the opening and were not of this
number. Naturally the friends of the
school were greatly pleased with the ex-
cellent outlook for the coming year.
The faculty of the school Is unsur-
passed and the departments of the
school are eXcellently organized. There
is PROMISE of large business school
this session and the number who are
to take music, in its several branches,
is larger in proportion than usual.
Miss Florence Slater, former teach
err at st. Mary's, after graduating at
Cornell University with the degree OF
Bachelor of Science, and having taught
with Prof. Apes in the New Jersey
State Normal School at Trenton, where
there were 1,400 pupils, has returned
to her Alma Mater, to give the benefit
of her experience and study to the
students in natural science. Surely the
city of Raleigh, as well as the trustees,
faculty and students Of st. Mary's, has
cause to be proud of the present pros
poets and past record OF st. Mary's
School.

THE SCHOOL CENSUS.
And its Relation to the 100000 Appro-
priation for Public Schools.

DTIdliOl lOI L UNIV tCIIoJlS'
The Superintendent Of Public Instruc-
ton has issued the following letter
to the County Superintendent of
Schools:
Dear Sir:-I have had some enquiries
as to whether Il delay in sending the
census reports to this office in October
would affect the superintendent to the
counties of the 100000 appropriation.
First, / will say the census that Is
now being taken is not to be reported
to this office until July. 1900, when
your regular annual report Is made.
This census you are now taking is
for the scholastic year 1899 and 1900,
which began July 1st, 1890, and will
end June Both, 1900.
Yon will see on page 40, Pamphlet OF
School Law, that in January, 1900, we
will use as the basis of apportionment
at this time ''the school census of the
previous scholastic year"
Therefore the school census of the
scholastic year 1898 and 1899 will be
used This census is included in the
last annual reports sent TO this office
in July of the present year.
The census should. however, be COM
pleted promptly by October LIST, as re-
| duired by law so the County Boards
may know how to apportion the school
| fund.
Speaking, approximately, will say that
| you may expect about 16 cents per
capita for your school population from
| the 100000 appropriation
Yours truly,

her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent For three
months she coughed necessarily, and
could not sleep. She finally discovered a
way to recovery, by purchasing of us

following:
New York, Sept. IT.
Hon. II. M. Simmons, Raleigh, n. o.:
Please telegraph at our expense your
opinion on the following questions:
F'irst-Would not Dewey, if nomi-
mated by the Democratic convention,
splendidly represent Democratic princi-
pies?
Second Would he not surely beat
Mckinley?
Third-If Bryan's own State should
defeat his ticket and platform this year
would he be as likely to win as Dewey
in 1900
NEW YORK WORLD.
To which Mr.. Simmons replied as fol-
lows:
Kinston, n c., Sept. 10.
New York World, New York:
| answer your three questions o fol-
lows:
First-If Dewey is an expansionist in
the sense that he favors a colonial sys-
tenn of government for our new pos
sessions he does not represent Demo
cratic sentiments even should he be in
harmony with that party on the ques-
tions of finance, tariff and the trusts.
Second.-If not in harmony with the
party on these vital questions he would
be a weak candidate despite his great
achievement and fame
Third Bryans leadership and avail
ability does not depend to the same ex-
tent as in case of an ordinary party
leader on the result of an election in
his State in an off year.
