Wheat, the we'll known pianist, to serve
sixty days in the workhouse. The charge
was habitual intoxication, and Prof.
Wheat was made prisoner Monday even
ing by Policemen Emmert and Cats, of
1.-THE First precinct. His term will likely
be spent altogether in the Washington
Asylum Hospital, where he will receive
much needed treatment TO restore his

LAYING OFF MORE MEN.
The STRIKE at Newport News Assumes More
Serions Aspect
fBy the Associated Press.)

Newport News, Va, June I'm adcl-
ton to the striking machinists, about 800
in number, 200 skilled men from the
electrical, plumbing and pipe fitting de-
partments were laid off yesterday. Today
$50 more, chiefly laborers were laid OFF.
In each case action was due to the in
reference in the progress of the work OF
the departments by the strike. 1t Is
stated that other departments will be
laid off as rapidly as they finish their
work ahead of the machines and can do
no more without aid of the machine
shops. AS the city is largely dependent
upon the seven thouand men at the yard,
the feeling in business circles is un-
comfortable in the highest degree. At
the present rate the yard will be closed
down in week or ten days, unless there
is change. The Business Mems Assoc
citation met today and appointed COM
mittee to confer with the machinists and
management of the ward to see if some
agreement as to arbitration could not be
reached.

trustees of the University
Board of Trustees of the University of
North Carolina
Resolutions, In accepting the resigna-
tion of President Edwin Anderson Alder
man We, the Trustees of the University
Of North Carolina, desire to place on
record this expression of our regret that
his eminent services will no longer be
given to our State and her University. His
contact with the students has won rather
than forced an obedience to University
law and order, his helpful sympathy with
the faculty has been rewarded with a
unapimcu3 ard vital loyalty, while his
progressive and enlightened policy has
at all tin es had the approval of the
board Of trustees.
We have ever realized the wisdom and
force of his far-reaching plans for the
growth and development of the State
educational system, In the execution of
these plans his untiring activity ana in
spring eloquence have made him at all
times noble champion Of the higher
life Of the State. Our official relations
with him have been most agreeable We
cannot sever them without Offering to him
on behalf of the State, whose represen-
tatives we are, our heart felt thanks for
his patient, wise, talented and merciful
service.
In his new career we wish him unlimit-
ed success, and we shill always remem-
Der with pride that this distinguished
educator is a native of our State, was a
student, a professor, and a president of
our own university.

work in the cause of religion and

rich having erected q large aud
commodious residence in Seaton's
addition to this city, and having
room to spare, set apart very
nice room for public use and Mrs.
Goodrich has called to her aid
Mrs. Livingston, and together they
have organized an independent
Sunday School to meet in said
room, where they meet each Lords
day for study and investigation of
the Bible. The school now num-
bers some forty scholars, and is
increasing in numbers each meet
ing; these children are those, of
q general thing, who do not attend
the denominational Sunday school
organizations of the city, and are
therefore an independent school.
Such disinterested effort to adj
vance the religious elevation of
our children is commendable, and
deserves the favorable considera-
ton of our people, and should be
encouraged by every good wisher
of the elevation of our race.
Last night, as an encouragement
and recreation for the scholars of
this school Mrs. Goodrich and Mrs
Livingston organized q tallyho
party or.their scholars, who drove
through the streets of the city,
the scholars singing merrily, and
manlfesting their delight as they
travelled. 1t was beautiful
sight, the night clear and the moon
at its full, calm and still, when
the sweet voice Of happy child
hood came floating on the evening
breeze, told OF happy children, and
noble teachers.
All hail to this noble band of
workers, may they grow in num-
bers and usefulness until this in
dependent Sunday School shall be
numbered among the best institu-
tions of our city and be honored
by all.
