were adopted today with slight changes
viz:
1. Advocating total abstinence as the
only safe rule for each man and wo-
mans habit of life
2. Upholding the great principle of pro-
hibiton as the only righteous protection
against the most INSCRIPTIONS and de-
moralizing traffic on earth
3. Reaffrming the statement that the
American army is far better off without
intoxicants of any kind and endorsing
the anti-canteen law.
4. Believing in revival of Christian
citizenship founded on divine ideals OF
righteousness.
5. Deploring the death of the late Pres
ident Mckinley at the hands of cruel
assassin and especially that he should
have fallen victim to that insensate
hatred of law or government which is
represented in anarchy
Favoring the peaceful solution of la
Dor trouble by arbitration and calling upon
workmen to join in the battle against the
saloon.
Z. Calling for perfect equality of men
and women before the law.
8. Standing unqualifiedly for a wiz. G

OLD NEGRO FOUND DEAD
IN FOUR INCHES OF WATER.
Frank Jones Wandered About All Night and
Was Found There Yesterday
VIZ Afternoon.

Another dead body was found in q
little stream of water in Raleigh ycster-
day. This time it was that OF colored
man. Frank Jones, about 65 years old.
The body was discovered about one
o'clock at the end of West street in a
small branch. which flows from the gas
house and was first seen by a white lady
and her daughter. They called some ne
groes from an adjoining field and the
police were notified. The body was roc
ognized as that of Frank Jones. whose
home was on Manly street.
The little branch is but three or four
inches deep with banks about three feet
high. Jones body was found face down
ward in the water and his fingers were
clutching in the mud as if he struggled
when strangulation came on. The in
ference from the position of the body is
that the man stumbled and fell into the
ditch, there being no evidence OF foul
play. The body was about ten feet from
the path and lay lengthwise in the mud
and water.
The body was taken to Jones' house on
Manly street, and the burial will take
place today. His wife says that for some
time he has been acting in a queer man
ner. On Monday afternoon she found
him wandering about nthe streets and
took him home. While she was out
drawing water he left the house and
though search was made for him he was
not found that afternoon or night, aud
the first knowledge of his whereabouts
came with the report of the finding of
his dead body.

Some Industries no Longer Need Protection,
Broader Markets Wanted, More Cordial
Commercial Relations Desired, Home
Industries Would Profit.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, ID. c.. Nov. 19.-Many of
the manufacturing industries of the
United States are represented az he
National Reciprocity Convention, which
began its sessions here today. There
were 200 delegates present in response
to call issued by the National Associa-
Detroit last June. The Convention is
representative of all sections and its
object is to give expression TO the views
of manufacturers generally on the sub
ject of reciprocity.
d. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, N c.,
was chosen temporary chairman, and
Theordore c. Search, of Philadelphia,
then was made permanent chairman.
The organization was completed by the
election of the following: Vice Chair
man, Gen. W. f. Draper, Massachusetts;
l.. II. Hickman, Georgia; Chas. II. Hard
ing, Pennsylvania; Jas. Deering, Illinois;
Titus Sheard, New York City, and Robert
j. Morgan, Ohio. Secretaries-Ed Edward

lVSOldliOlS VI 6iSCAihS W
Roosevelt, pledging it's support and ex-
pressing its confidence in his admins
tration. Mr.. Search, in taking the chair,
outlined the work before the convention.
He said in part:
"Our aim has been TO forestall tariff
agitation, not to encourage it. 1t is the
duty of this convention to harmonic as
far as possible the widely differing opin-
ions represented in this body and to
reduce TO clear and forceful expression
such principles as we hold in common.
We are here to harmonic our views, not
TO emphasize our differences.
This is no time or place for senti-
ment, for theories. or for statements
that cannot be fully substantiated by
facts. ! take it we are all agreed a s to
certain general propositions such as
these
THAT some OF the duties embraced in
this present tariff are no longer needed
for the existence of industries for whose
protection they are imposed.
THAT many of our industries have
reached a stage in their development
where the home market alone cannot
absorb their entire product and conse-
QuSutIy new OuLle-S are necessary IOr
their continuous operation and the steady
employment of their operatives.
THAT the establishment of more cor
dial commercial relations with other no.
tions by means of an exchange of tariff
concessions would enlarge the foreign
outlets of those industries for which in
creased export trade is necessary.
THAT if such applications of the prin-
ciples of commercial reciprocity could
be made without injury to any of our in
dustries the consequent expansion OF our
foreign trade would be beneficial to all
our commercial and industrial interests" !"
Committee announcements and the
reading of papers occupied the afternoon
session. Ellison A. Smyth. of Pelzer, S.
c.. was named as q member of a com
mittee to call on the President, and ID.
A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, " c., was
made member of the Committee on

Washington, Nov. 19.-The trial of Mrs
Lola Ida Bonine on indictment for the
murder of the young census clerk, James
Seymour Ayres, Jr., in the latter's room
at the Kenmore Hotel in this city last
May began today before Justice Anderson
in criminal court Number l.
The case was set for ten o'clock, but 1t
was several minutes afterwards before
either the judge or the prisoner appeared
in the court room.
At the first session the court room, even
though limited in capacity, was by no
means crowded. Mr.. Bonine and Mrs.
Meacham, husband and sister Of the ac-
cused, were early occupants of the seats
reserved for Mrs. Bonines especial friends
as were the five attorneys engaged for the
defense.
tin
At ten minutes past ten Mrs. Bonine
appeared in the court room, accompanied
by the veteran guard, James W. Spring
man. She. walked in so quietly that her
entrance was scarcely noted, and took a
seat ho~;'c hor husband just back OF her
counsel and in front Of her sister She
smiled as she greeted her sister and the
latter placed her arms gently about her
as SIZE sank into her seat.
After the preliminaries OF calling the
names of witnesses and of jurors were
disposed Of, Mrs. Bonine was asked to
stand and plead to the Indictment. She
listened calmly to the reading of the doc
ument, and when it was concluded, plead
cd Not guilty in low, but distinct tones.
After brief statement of the case by
Judge Anderson, the examination of ju-
rors was begun and when the court at
1880 adjourned for the day the panel was
exhausted. There were twenty six mem
bers of the panel, and of these fourteen
were excusd, laving twelve in the box
OF the fourteen jurors who were ex-
cused, three were relieved by the court
on account of ill-halth; seven upon chal-
lenges by the defense and four upon chal-
lenges by the district attorney
All of the Governments challenges were
made because of statements on the part
OF the witnesses that they had conscieu-
tious scruples against capital punishment.
Most of the challenges on behalf of TIE
prisoner were on account of statements
by the jurors that they had formed opin-
ions in the case. In four or five in
stances they stated that their views could
not be changed by new testimony
Mrs. Bonine was apparently as calm as
any of the spectators during the proceed
ings. She spoke frequently with her hus-
band and sister and only once or twice
with her attorneys. During part of
the day her two boys, respectively fifteen
and thirteen years of age, were in the
court room.
After adjournment she took dinner with
her friends in the prisoners room in the
court house, being closely attended all the
time by her guard She was then re-
turned to iail.
The trial will be resumed tomorrow.
