THE STATE NORMAL COLLEGE
New Buildings and Other Permanent Improve
meets for the School

President Charles D. McIver OF the
State Normal and Industrial College,
was in the city yesterday. He says the
prospects for the coming session of that
institution were never better. Already
all the rooms in the dormitory are taken,
except few for tuition-payng students.
Applications for these are coming in
rapidly and they will all be taken this
month. Students applying after that
must board in private families.
"The Practice and Observation School
building will be completed about Deem
Der 1st." said DR.. McIver. ''and this will
give us room in the dormitory for some
25 or 80 more students. We are Row
using part of our dormitory room for this
school. The building will cost about
$4,000.
Work will also begin at once on the
Peabody park, for we will spend $1,000 of
the $4,000 Peabody gift on a park. How
the other $1,000 will be expended has not
yet been decided.
1.-The Students building, for Society
halls, Young Woman's Christian Asso-
citation and the like. will not be built
till next year. 1t will cost not less than
100000"

THE COLUMBIA LOST
The Constitution Won by
Over Four Minutes
A Miahsp 10 Columbia Causing Her to Lose
Much Time Renders the Test Far
from Satisfactory
(By the Associated Press.)

Newport, r. l., August 1O.-Boat for
boat, the amended Constitution beat the
Columbia today by four minutes and nine
seconds. 1t was hard hammer to wind
ward and return in a 1S-knot breeze.
The new Herrshoff racer, in fine form,
did wonderfully well, but the result was
not altogether satisfactory as test of
relative speed because fifteen minutes af-
ter the start the Columbia suffered a
mishap which cost her all of five minutes
in timet and in the judgment of most
good yachtsmen the race.
Her bowsprit shrouds were found to be
too long. As the wind freshened and
she lay over at big angle, the big stick
which they supported buckled dangerously
SO that it was necessary to huff her into
the wind to take in the slack of the
stays. At the same time her steering
gear was useless for some minutes, while
he was jumping in the seas and hawed
about most helplessly. Repairs We're made
with remarkable skill and speed and she
was sent away again but we'll astern of
her rival, for the Constitution had passed
her and taken a commanding position on
the weather bow of the unfortunate boat.

IMPORTANT MOVES IN COTTON OIL

less, in order to be prepared for any

schemes. the American Cotton Oil Co. is
preparing to make some move, but just
what it is has been closely guarded. A
call has been made for deposits OF its

that it shall not be sold for less than
$1C5 for preferred and $50 for the common

CHANCES IN RALEIGH TEAM
Stanley ard Ate May Go to New Orleans, but
Raleigh Is Still Strong

Tho ladies and gentlemen interested
in the Raleigh ball team met yesterday
morning and prepared plans for
Baseball Lawn Party and number
of Young ladies went to work at once
collecting the funds pledged to aid the
club. over $3.50 in cash being collected,
and the outlook for full collection be.
ing bright.
1t is understood, however, that the
directors of the club have opened ne
gotiations for the sale of Stanley and
AtZ to New Orleans, and from every
point of view this is the sensible
course to be taken, as a handsome sum
is asked for the men, who, though dis
liking to leave Raleigh, are willing to
do what is considered best for the Raj
eigh club.
Last night Capt. Kelly, with Stanley
and Atz, reached Raleigh from Will
mington, and if New Orleans meets the
terms offered it is likely that Stanley
and Atz will leave tonight and will
Join the New Orleans team in Memphis
ut once.
Smith will remain with Raleigh and will
continue to pitch the great ball that he
has been doing. The club has already
signed Russell for work at first base.
He is strong man there and is good with
the stick Besides this Jimmy Hughes,
Of Washington, has been wired to-, and
will cover third base. He is a great
player and has been on teams with Atz,
Stanley, Hennager and Kelly. He is a
fast ball player and Raleigh need have
no fears about his work.
Capt. Kelly will leave this afternoon
for Charlotte, where Raleigh plays to-
morrow and promises to take two games
out of the three to be played there.
With the lead that Raleigh has it will be
hard to keep the club from winning this
series. Smith, Person and Stocksdale
make a strong trio of pitchers. Curran
will work in centre and Jolly Jack Sher-
man is in the game with the other Red
Birds. What with these and with
Sorber, Hennager, Powers, LeGrande and
Kelly the Raleigh rooters and rooterines
may look for fast ball.
As it stands al present Raleigh's team
has the other clubs at a stand still and
it is the wise thing to let Stanley and
Atz go to New Orleans The financial end
of the matter is put in better shape, the
Raleigh public is not called on to spend
more money to hold IN the team and
Raleigh keeps winning club. What more
could be asked of the public-spirited di-
rectors who have given and still continue
TO give Raleigh great club.

The fourth in the list was Mr.. r. w.

seven branches was 577, average Y, who
submitted no paper on Geometry, but
there is some doubt as to a fourth va
cancy. 1t was stated to Superintendent

later word was sent that a student at
the Normal, Mr.. GRAPHICAL. of Ashe coun-
ty, had been given the fourth place. He
is now in Arkansas and expects to re-
turn to Nashville.
General Toon does not think that ne
should have the vacancy. and has SO
written to Nashville. If he is dropped
and Mr.. Stuarts omission of Geometry
does not force him out he gets the posi-
ton. Otherwise it will either go to Mr..
Oscar p. Smith. of Laurel Branch, total

of Wilson, total $40, average 60, who tie
in per cent, fractions excluded.
It, was hoped that Mr.. Harley Goode,
of Morganton, would be a successful APP
plcant, as his father is wounded Con-
federate soldier. but his average was &C.,
and this excludes him. Some of the APP
plcants fell as low as 80 per cent and
these failed to submit papers on a num-

FUNERAL CUSTOMS.

The undertakers in Massachusetts
met in annual session in Boston the
other day and a Cambridge physician
took advantage of the opportunity to
speak plainly in regard to the custom
airy methods of funeral procedure.
What he said has been said time and
again of late years, but it needs more
saying. If to die is gain, and if dying
is only that life may be prolonged in
better form, then he held our funeral
customs were too gloomy Sombre EN-
bems of mourning should be discour-
aged and the drawn curtain be done
away with. "All such measures for pre-
serving the body, such as embalming
(unless for valid reasons and for a
short time), air-tight and metallic
caskets, or heavy wooden ones, should
be abolished" he said. THE more
perishable the casket, the better. Don't
cheat mother earth out of her own. The
custom of brick vaults at the bottom of
each grave in Mt Auburn is an abom-
nation" He objects to the cOmmittal
service as a relic of heathenism, and
stands ready to answer the clergyman
who says, I'm my church we bury our
dead" with the reply, In my church
we have no dead to bury"
Funeral customs certainly need re-
forming, but the changes of late years
have been in the direction of simplicity
and naturalness to an encouraging eX-
tent.-New Bedford Republican Stand
