Anna Eva Fay at the Academy

In speaking of Anna Eva Fay who
opens an engagement of five nights and
Saturday matinee al the Academy Of
Music on Tuesday night the Memphis
Scemetor said: You can think and de-
bate and even then you cannot fathom the
mysterious exhibition OF Anna Eva Fay.
There are but few marvels in the world,
but Miss Fay is apparently the marvel
of maryals, and no one has ever created
the furore that Miss Fay has in Mem
phis. :
The demand for seats and the interest
shown in this engagement indicates that
she will be greeted by crowded house
at the Academy of Music on Tuesday
night. Miss Fays performance is of
a characterthat cannot well be discussed
and it is one that no one can afford to
miss.
With Miss Fay appears the Four
.......... musical artists: Mile Bessie,
Mr.. Hugh Lee, Miss Bessie Lee and 9TH
ers. Popular prices, 10, 20 and 80 cents
will prevail during this engagement and
on Tuesday night every lady accompanied
by the holder of 30-cent ticket, reserved
before 6 p m, will be admitted free.

Warm Praise of DR., Vann.

Rev. R. t. Vann, d. D., president of
the Baptist Female University, preached
in the new Baptist church at Lexington
last Sunday. Referring to the sermon.
Charity and Children says it was "a SER
mon that will live in the hearts of that
people for many a day. Those now young
will talk about it when in the ''sere and
yellow leaf" 1t was on the suffering of
Job, the servant OF God, and it was a
wonderful mixture of pathos and humor
and tenderness and power. 1t was all
sorts of sermon and the smiles of the
audience chased away their tears. 1t
was mellow and glowing and warm and
enriching. We have heard some great
preachers but DR. Vann is facile princeps
among them all. 1t was good to be there.
After the sermon a collection of some
thing over hundred dollars was taken to
reduce a small debt which is upon the
church. 1t was nine hundred dollars
short, however, as the sermon was worth
thousand dollars to any community"

THE AUDITORIUM COMPANY.

and Finally Settle the Matters

The Auditorium Company held meet
ing at the mayors office last night. Mr..

Ward acted as secretary.
Five hundred and eighty-two shares
were necessary for a quorum, and that
number not being present, adjournment
was had until next Thursday night at

Josephus Daniels ]. S. Wynne, Frank
Ward, w. n. Jones, f. K Ellington and
Mr.. Toler was appointed to secure
proxies so that the meeting will not fail
of a quorum next Thursday night.
Mr.. ]. S. Wynne reported that the
owners of the Academy of Music had
offered to take s17,5O0 for that property.
and not to require any money. The Bra
gassa lot adjoining can be bought for 49,,
900 cash, With this additional width, the
Academy of Music can be changed SO as
to seat over 5000 people at a cost Of
5000 to $4,000, giving an auditorium
large enough for all purposes and a
modern theatre large enough for Raleigh
for years to come. 1t seemed to be the
opinion of most OF those present that this
was the only feasible plan upon which
an auditorium can be built.

GOV. AYCOCK'S ADDRESS
AND THE MT. AIRY SCHOOLS
The Governor Declares it 1.-THE Most Encouraging
Educational Meeting Have Seen in the
Course of My Life"

) it would have reminded one of great
political parade,
THE speaking was in the Opera House
at night. The audience was the largest
ever assembled there, people told me. Not
an inch of standing room was left in the
building and several hundred were turned
away from the door
my speech, OF course, was on the sub
ject OF education and particularly empha-
sized the necessity for it since adoption
of the Constitutional Amendment.
THE Mt. Airy graded schools are a
credit to the good people of that place.
Over four hundred pupils are in regular
attendance sad they are being taught in
splendid manner. Under the superinten-
dency of Prof. Curtis, these schools have
grown into great popularity, and the peo-
pie are unanimous in regret that he
leaves them soon to become superintend-
ent Of the schools at Burlington"

STOCKS DECLINE KILLED HIM.
Tohn Kee Under the Shock Of Losses Falls
Dead.

At last the crash seems to have come.
Yesterdays scenes on the New York
stock market will be memorable. and II
the panic continues today no man can
predict the consequences.
The bubble of speculation was stretched
TO the bursting point and it needed moth
ing more substantial than a little furry
in the money rate TO burst ii.
For weeks now the buying demand has
been enormous for all kinds of stocks, and
prices have mounted up beyond anything
hitherto dreamed Of Even early yes
terday morning there was furious specu-
lation in Atehison, St. Paul Rock Island,
Baltimore and Ohio Missouri Pacific and
number of other stocks.
Then the storm burst. and enormous
blocks of all sorts of stocks-the strongest
with the .weakest-were unloaded on the
decline at successive drops OF a half to
a point through many points.
The total sales of stocks for the day
were 1858, 500 shares, and it is estimated
that the decline in price caused a loss
for the day of $4,000, 600.
Following are the sales of some of the
more active stocks with the closing prices

HOTTEST DAY OF THE SPRING.
But the Weather Man Promises Lower Tenn
perature For Today.

The weather man thinks today may
be cooler than the past three days have
been, bet he holds out no encourage
ment for the belief that the lower tenn
peIature will long be maintained.
There is a low area. or storm, over
the lake regions" he said This will
probably proceed toward the coast and
in doing so will bring cooler weather.
This, however, will soon pass and high

The thermometer at the Weather Bu-
reau yesterday stood at 80 degrees-the
same point it reached on Wednesday
and Thursday But for people at work
in the sun, yesterday was easily the
hottest day of the spring. The strong
breeze that prevailed made it pleas
ant day for those indoors and kept the
thermometer from climbing over the
80 mark.

News and Observer several days ago that
a very Objectionable bill, which failed to
pass the House, had been tackled on to
another, which purported TO be merely a
local measure, and thus by means of a
deceptive title had become a law.
There must be some mistake about it..

of the House would resort TO such meth

bill which contained the Objectionable
features of the act above referred to, and
with an appropriate title was introduced
by Mr. Nicholson, of Beaufort, and passed
its second reading before it was fully I'M
derstood, but afterwards the attention Of
many members was called to its unjust
and to, what some regarded, its uncon-
stitutional provisions, and consequently
when it came up on it's final reading the
opposition was overwhelming, and | do
not now recall whether it was tabled, or
withdrawn, or indefinitely postponed. But
| have since been informed by one of
the clerks that it was left on the calen-
dar at the close of the session. Perhaps
the Journal viii show. AT any rate, |

ing.
This was in the last days of the ses-
sion, and | do not recall the passage or
the act ITO prevent the telling OF tim

Did some outsider practice fraud upon
the clerks and tack these features on
TO bill after dts passage and before
its enrolment? or how was the deception
practised?

it's absolute injustice. when its title did
not conceal its purpose, / would like to
