.'OUO VADIS."
A Play of Great Power to be Pre-
sented at Cooper Opera House FRI
day Night.

One of the most important produc-
tons which will be seen here this sea-
son is Charles W. Chase's dramatiZa-
ton of ..Quo Vadis,' which will be
seen at Cooper Opera House tomorrow
(Fridav) evening.
Manager Alden Benedict has been
generous in preparing this piece for
presentation. A company of great
strength will act in it; the scenic in
vestiture is elaborate and gives prom
Use of great beauty; the costumes have
been carefully prepared from classic
models and were made in Europe; the
play, Judging from what is said by
those persons who have seen it, is
strong and int eresting. The story OF
the drama follows that of the book
beginning in the gardens Of Aulus
Plautius, and ending in the arena be-
fore the Emperor Nero's box. Nini-
cius. a noble youth Of Rome, sees aAd
loves the Christian maiden, Lygia,
who. though hostage and therefore
an Imperial ward, is living at the
house of Aulus Petronius, the Empe-
ror's favorite and uncle to Einicius,
uses his influence with Nero to have
Lvgia taken away from AuluS' house
and carried to the palace.
While at the palace Lygia is accused
of bewitching Nero's child and she is
condemned to death, but is rescued
bv Ursus. a gigantic Lygian, who al
WAYS guards her. Sheis hidden among
the Christians. and Vinicius, in his
search for her, meets the Apostle
Peter and is converted. Nero's myr-
midons discover the whereabouts OF
the girl and she is tied to the horns
of mad bull and led into the arena
to be tortured before her lover, but
Ursus, exerting all his marvellous
strength, twists the neck OF the ami
NAL. and at the demand Of the popu-
lace, the Pretorian guard and senators.
Nero pardons her, Ursus and Ninicius.
The play is one of great power. Its
human interest holds the auditor
spellbound, and the deep religious
fervor of the Christian martyrs. which
permeates the entire work cannot but
Undue one with a zeal to do better.
1t is play satisfying alike to player
and auditor. not only because it en-
tertains and instructs, but because it
uplifts and edities.

Tributes to the Memory of a Good Man
Whose Death Is M0urned Beyond the
Limits of the Community in Which He
Lived.
The following article written by a
friend in Henderson, is taken from
the Raleigh Post of February 9th:
Today many hearts in our community
and throughout the State ara filled with
sorrow because Of the death of Dr.. John
H. Tucker, OF our city. He was IA man
who endeared himself to our whole people.
For nearly three years his friends and
neighbors have watched with anxiety his
declining health, as it appeared that it
was merely matter OF time with him.
On last Saturday night at 11:15 while a
storm of wind, snow and sleet ragged
without, in the quiet OF his home, sur
rounded by his Borrowing family, DR..
Tucker passed away and his spirit left
this world OF sorrow and storms for that
home OF peace and rest. He was doing
fairly well until a few minutes before the
final end, which came suddenly, but
quietly and peacefully.
DR.. Tucker was born in Brunswick
comfy, Va, at the home OF his father a
prominent and rich Virginia planter.
His family was Glossy related to the
fuckers, AtkinsOuS, Goodies and other
notable Virginia families. He was pdu-
Gated at William and Mary College and

TIE Statesville Lauonurk says
that if Mr. Mebane is nominated by
the Democrats ii will not be obliga-
tory upon members of that party to
vote for him, he not being a Demo-
crat, and the point is well taken. If
the office which has been filled so ac-
ceptablv bv Mr.. Mebane is to CON
tinue to be considered part of party
spoilS it would be bad politics for
the party To nominate other than a
straight Democrat; but if it is desired
to lift this one office above partisan
politics, some party must set the
initiative and why should it not be
the Democratic?- durham Herald
We agree with our contemporary.
The office should be above partisan
politics. and so far as the Landmark
is individually concerned it has no
objection to the Democrats setting
the example by nominating Mr.. Meb-
ane. But while the Lanlnark, for
instance. and other Democratic papers
and individuals might support Mr.
Mcbane with all zeal, none of us could
call on Democrats TO support him be-
cause he is the party's nominee; be-
cause, we hold. there is no obligation
resting on Democrats to support the
party's nominee unless the nominee
is a Democrat; and we thought it not
inappropriate to call attention to this
fact As we 90 along. Statesville

CANAL DYNAMITING
CHARGED TO IRISH.
Report of United states Consul Brush ON
Blowing Up of Lock on the
Welland Canal.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The result of
the inquiry, so far as it has gone, into
the attempt to wreck the Welland canal
by the use of dynamite was laid before
the state department in a special tele-
graphic report from United States Con-
sular Agent Brush, at Clifton.
The report completely exonerates the
Buffalo grain handlers from all connec-
ton with the crime and strongly init
mates that the attempt was the working
out Of regularly organized conspiracy
among certain persons III the United
States believed to be affiliated with the
Irish secret associations.
If Canada succeeds in getting evil
dence against the perpetrators of the
crime the department will be called
upon to secure the extradition of the
men to Canada for punishment, if they
shall be found within the United States.
Under the existing British extradition
treaty it is also an extradictable offense
to conspire i'll the United States to COM
NIT crime against property in Canada,
so that the projectors of the scheme may
be called to account.
