HE'S A VETERAN.
Mr.. Charles Mcdonald, the genial
press agent of the Grand Opera house

road. During his career as an actor
he appeared with number of the best
men in the profession. 1t was Mr.. Nc
Donald who wrote the first play that
Roland Reed ever appeared in. Mr..
Mcdonald had a part IL the same pro-
duction. He is now in Cincinnati call
ing on some of his old friends.
MISS RUSH'S MISFORTUNES.
The finger of fate seems to have sig
nailed out Miss Isadore Rush for spe-
cially distressing times. 1t was only
a fortnight ago that she left the Rog-
ers Bros. company and fastened to
New York because of the death Of Ro-
land Reed, whose leading woman she
has been for years. Miss Rush came to
New York again on Monday because Of
the news that her father, Captain
Rush, had just died.
CAN HAVE THE BEST.
The theater goers of this city have
certainly with few exceptions) shown
their appreciation of the high class at
fractions which have appeared at the
Grand this season by their liberal pat
ronage and almost universal approval
of the performances that have been
given. There were many Of the best
companies which would not have play
cd Akron unless heavy guarantees had
been offered them because the impress
sion prevailed that this was not a
good show town." but these delusions
have passed away this season and Ak
ron can now get the very best attrac-
tions which come into the state. This
is indeed gratifying to all lovers of
good theatrical performances.

MRS. FISKB.
There is prime interest In the ap-
pearance of Mrs. Fiske in Becky
Sharp" in this city. There is no ques-
ton as to the dramatic qualification
that Mrs. Fiske gives in this. Her
great success everywhere proves that
satisfaction. She is a great actress
and she has won her way to her pres
ent position by the hardest kind OF
work, for no player with natural en-
dowment for the theater can achieve
notable success and lasting fame
without constant industry and cease
less activity. Mrs. Fiske's work as
Becky Sharp is enhanced, too, by the
highly artistic environment in which
it is seen, and is a proud thing for
the native theater that it has an, ac-
tress who excels in everything that
pertains to her art. At the Grand,

THE SPANISH WAR MEDALS
The Two Kinds of Medals Approved b.
Secretary of the Navy Long

Washington. June 24.-Acting upon
the unanimous recommendation of the
naval board of awards, Secretary Long
today approved the designs for the two
medals provided for by congress to
commemorate the achievements of the
UNITED states navy in the campaign in
the West Indies during the Spanish
American war. OF these two medals.
the first is known as the battle medal
medal.
In its report to Secretary Long the
board of awards point that his battle
medal is not conferred for service rem
dered in any one engagement, but is in
tended for all OF the men who partici-
pated in the West Indian campaign.
The board states that it has placed
ISampson's cad upon the medal be-
Icause he was commander-in-chief of
the West Indian squadron, as Dewey's
was placed on the Manila medal.
The medal will not be known as the
santiago medal as it will bear upon the
reverse the name. ran and ship of the
initial battle in which the recipient
participated. The additional battles
will be represented by separate bars
above the suspending ribbon of red,
white and blue, one bar for each battle.
Thus in the case of an officer, like
Wainwright, the bars will be almost as
conspicuous as the medal.
The Sampson portrait is a profile
taken from a likeness made just be-
fore the outbreak of the Spanish war.
On this face of the medal the inScrip-
ton reads:
United States naval campaign in the
West Indies. 1888. William Thomas
Sampson. commander-in-chief."
The suspending a above bears the
American eagle above a design in oak.
leaves.
The reverse OF the medal marks the
governments recognition of the Splen-
did services of the "men behind the
gum" 1t pOrtrayS a spirited scene on the
gun deck of an American m~an-of-War in
full action. Over the bulwarks and in
the distance is the outline of a war;
in full play. This is convention
allied; it may be anything from a bat
+tleship to a torpedo boat. Surrounding
the picture on the rim of the medal
is a handsome laurel wreath.
The meritorious service medal is for
those who have rendered distinguished
otherwise than in battle. 1t will
go to such men as Hobson, Lieutenant
Ward. Victor Blue, Lieutenant Buck
and a very few others. The design is
a i've pointed star in open work and
encircled by a laurel wreath and sup
ported by a bar the whole backed by a
red. white and blue ribbon. On the
face the five points of the star bear the
inscription United States navy in the
war with Spain. 1885,"
A foul anchor fills in the center of the
star. The name o fthe recipient viii

Montgomery, Ala, June 24.-The sec
ton relating to sheriff's tenure of office
and suspension from office and i'm
parchment when he permits prisoners
to be taken from him and lynched was

"A sheriff shall be elected in each
county by the qualified electors there

custody of a sheriff or deputy and put

Handsome Donation to State Normal
College

On Saturday night Mr.. George Fos-
ter Peabody, of New York, gave Presi-
dent McIver $40, 600 for the State Nor
NAL and Industrial college. Of this
amount So, 900 is to be used in develop
ing an educational park on the college
grounds. and the other $1,000 is to be-
come available for supplying some 9TH
er need of the college as soon as a GER
tain sum shall be raised by President
McIver and the friends of the institu-
ton.
The educational park is a unique
idea. The college owns 125 acres of
land, about half of which is very brok-
n and in forest. This is he exercise
ground of the students. 1t is proposed
to beautify the park n to make sew
eral miles of we'll graded walks through
it. Each attractive Spot-hill, spring
and dale-iS to be dedicated to some
great educational leader or event, and
to be marked by blocks of granite with
appropriate inscriptions. Most of these
blocks will be secured by private n
tons. and it is hoped that various peo-
pie will provide pavilions n rustic
seats near the monuments in which
they are most interested.
The students spend one hour of each
day on the grounds, n thus inciden-
tally they Will become familiar with
the story of Achibald D.. Murphy, Cal
III IL. w = oSOA 49,
ers who have made our public school
system: with the date of the foundation
and with the history of the university,
the Agricultural and Mechanical col
leges, Wake Forest, Trinity, Davidson,
Guilford and other UNCONVENTIONAL col
leges; with the orphanage work and
the benevolent work of the state in ed
ucating the deaf, dumb and blind n
in caring for it's afflicted. In short,
there is to be written on stone or
bronze in this forest, which is the eXer-
else ground of the future teachers OF
North Carolina, the educational history
of the state, just as the military,
church, and political history of the
state car be read from portraits and
inscriptions on the walls of u uni
versity and colleges.
1t is intended to emphasize the idea
that the deeper and broader develop
ment of a states civilization is edu-
cational rather than military or pol1t1-
cal, however. important the latter may
be hat the renewed victories OF
peace so much lauded, are wrought
through education and culture.
Whatever history shall be written in
this park will be written on the minds
and hearts of future generations; for
the State Normal and Industrial col
lege will probably never have less than
a thousand representatives teaching in
all parts of North Carolina.
Mr.. George Foster Peabody is a dis
tant relative of the great ~philanthro-
pist, George Peabody, whose gift OF So
600. 600 to the public schools of the south
in 1867 has done so much for this sec
ton. This is Mr.. Peabody's second gift
to the State Normal and Industrial col
lege, having given it a 1000 about a
year ago. He is a prominent member
of the Southern Educationl conference,
and was with Mr.. Ogden's party in
their visit to the south last April. Mr..
is trustee of Hampton 1nSti-
tute and is one of it's best friends.
