THE TEACHERS ASSEMBLY.

The time of meeting of the North Caro-
lima Teachers Assembly has been fixed
for this year June 18th TO 18th. The
programme is now being prepared, and
will soon be published. The interest
being taken i'll the work this year war
rants the belief that the coming Assem-
bly, will be one of the best ever held in
the State. The place of meeting will
be named soon. and due announcement
made. The delay in fixing place of
meeting has arisen because of difference
of opinion as to the proper rate ON the
railroads for the meeting. The teachers
want the rate even lower than it has
been. the railroads want it to be the
same very naturally.

A dispatch from Ottawa, Oot., Gays:
From the report Of the solicitor-gener
al just made public it is learned that NJ.
Menier, the su-called Chocolate King,
did not acquire the island of Anlicos,i
from the government OF the Province
# @ lebec, as stated in the article IN the
Easljsn press 10 which the Right Hon.
the Secretary OF State for the Colonles
requests His Excellency the governor
general TO draw the Intention of his
ministers.
The island Of Anticosti has not form
ed part OF the public domain Of Canada
or OF any province thereof since it was
granted, in 1860, by he King OF France
to Sieur Louis Jolie', 70 which grant
the present owner, NJ. Menier traces
mis- title. NJ. Meuier has never, either
by his own acts or by those of bis
agents, allowed or contended that the
island of Anticosti was in any respect
exempt from that inherent sovereign
power which is possessed by the crown
over all land within Her Msjesty's
dominions The island being private
property, is at all times liable to ex-
preparation for military or such other
public purposes as to Her Msjesty's
government may seem advisable. The
present proprietor has administered the
island under the laws of the land as
private estate.

The Tuesday Clubs Social Evening
Proves q Success.


The Tuesday Literary Clubs recep
ton last night at Liberty Hall, in For
esters' building, was a great success.
There was a large attendance of the
legislators and their wives, as well as
of society people. The Reception Com
mittee consisted of a large number of
well-known Sacramento ladies. The
decorations were carefully done and
very pretty, and the music was superb.
The reception-rooms were decorated
in red and green, and the banquet hall
was also tastefully banked in flowers
and beautiful greens. The following
named are some of the ladies who were
on the Reception Committee, though
they were assisted by many other mem
bers of the club: Mesuames Johnson,
Clarke, Beckman, Colgan, Hadley,
Breckenfeldt, Hamilton, Dray, Beck
with. McKee, Goddard, Crocker, Nc
Clatchy, Neil and Washburne.
One of the pleasant features of the
evening was the singing by Warren I.
Wendell of San Francisco, accompan-
led by Miss Fannie Danforth. Miss Ella
Howe also sang, and the evening passed
pleasantly. After the singing Miss May
Gleason pleased the guests of the club
by reciting several choice selections in
a way that greatly pleased all present
She made decided hit in her humor-
Gus recitations, as well as In pathos.
Light refreshments were served dur
ing the evening, and all in all the re-
ception was one of the most successful
in the history of the club.
