JAKE WELLS AND
THE WHITE RATS
He Has Always Stuck by Them and
They Will in the End
ReCiDrOcate.

There are two sides OF the situation as
regards the strike of the White Rats ana
on either side Manager Wells has shown,
para.oxical as it may seem, that he is
right.
In the first place, at the managers
meeting some time ago, when the question
OF five per cent. deduction from Tue
salaries of the performers was 1nluer
.considerat ton, Manager Wells proved nm
self friend TO the performers. by arSN-
ing against the deduction. lie was OUT
voted, however, at that time. but Wnen'
last week, it came to a showdown he
stuck to his original proposition, ana
agreed that he would not at that time
or at any other time deduct any percen-
tage from any salaries due any per
formers playing at either Of his houses.
On last Saturday, While in New York.
Manager Wells was approached by
committee of White Rats. who presented
him a paper, which they wished him to
sign. The substance of the document
was that he should throw off all attila-
ton with the Managers Association and
engage none but White Rats to perform
at either of his theatres This document
Mr.. Wells positively refused to sigh and
he further stated that he would do MOTH
ing else until March 9Th.
Il will adhere to my decision in the
matter, SalQ Manager NelIS last liiSiit.
IF on March 9th none of the other mana
gers agree with me, 1 will, on my own
responsibility, walk out of the meeting
Mr.. Wells goes to New York this evening
to secure acts for his two houses for next
week. For the past few days he and his
representative, Mr.. .Hughs L. Cardoza,
have been rushing about between the
Richmond and the Norfolk houses in
order TO carry out their contract with
the people by giving them good shows.
Matinee and evening performances
were sgiven at the Bijou yesterday. The
show is a good one, despite the strike
trouble Among the features are c. P.
Flockton & Co., in a legitimate sketch;

Or. M'KIm SECOND LECTURE.
lie Speaks frequently OF the Struggle Between
the Roman and British Churches.

Rev DR.. Randolph McIlim, of Washing
ton, D. c., delivered the second OF his
series of lectures before a large and atten-
tive audience at st. Paul's Church last
night.
His subject was 1.-The Struggle Between
o Roman and the British Churches,
and he handled it in that same scholarly
and eloquent manner with which he
charmed his hearers on Monday night,
when he delivered the first of his series
OF lectures His main contention last night
was 10 show that tf1 British Church dld
not owe it's orogin to the Romans, out
chat it had taken Il firm hold upon the
English people before missionaries mao
ever reached the country from Rome.
He said when in search OF the orlslll
of the British Church, we should go not
to Rome. but to the little island or soma
on the coast of Scotland, whose people
had brought the gospel to SaNons at the
risk of their lives. Soma had been the
center and focus of learning, and had IN
635 accomplished the great work IN which
Rome had failed for forty years
DR.. McIim will continue ms lectures
each night during the week, except sat

NEW YORK Feb. 26.-The members
of Christ Episcopal Church in Elizabeth,
n J., We're startled Sunday morning
when a big policeman walked up the
center aisle, Just before the services
began, and nabbed a young woman VINO
knelt in pew III the center Oh t'ie
church. Before the policeman entered,
the congregation saw the rector, the
Rev. II. H. Oberly, go to the woman
and say something to her. They heard
her reply that she would not go out,
and knew then that the rector had Or
dered her to leave the church Many
in the congregation recognized hcf as
Annie Arnold, hunchback slrl, 4 years
old, who has been a regular communl-
cant of the church for several years
They recollected a story TO the effect
that she had told some of her girl
friends that she was engaged to be mar
ricd to one OF the curateS of the parish
In consequence of this the parishloners
had concluded that Miss ArnoldS mind
had become unbalanced.
Rex. Mr.. Nash said he was sorry the
affair had reached the newspapers.
There is really nothing in the case.
he said The facts. however, can be
briefly given. Miss Arnold is about Il
Years old and a hunchback. She has
been an attendant at Christ Church Tor
some time, but she is apparently surfer
ing from religious mania. For the past
two weeks we have noticed that she was
growing worse. She hears sermon
or reads verse of scripture and inn
mediateiy concludes that some particular
thing is meant for her. She read some
thing about marriage and concluded
that she was to marry the curate-
she would call here at the rectory
at o'clock in the morning and ring the
bell; she wanted to be in church at all
hours. When she was there i'll service
time she would frequently wander up
to the chancel and kneel beside the
priest and whisper. 1t finally got so
annoying that the Rev. Mr.. Oberly wrote
d letter to her mother, telling her all of
the circumstances. The rector advised
her mother to have her cared for. but
Mrs. Arnold seemed to pay no attention
to the warning. During the past two
weeks Miss Arnold became so persistent
that the Chief of Police was asked to
watch her. He advised that he be noti-
fed if she gave us any more trouble.
So when She wouldn't so out on Sunday
morning. the rector sent for n police
man. Her mother was indignant over
il, but when she heard what the rector
had 10 say on the subject presume She
was satisfied that he did the proper
thing"
Miss Arnold refused to talk about the
case last night and her mother said she
did not care to get into newspaper
controversy over the affair. She did say
that the arrest of her daughter was I'M
warranted, and was proven to be when
the police released the young woman at
headquarters. She added that there was
more of the case to come. bur that it
would come through a court Of law

SHOULD MAKE THEM HERE.

The Augusta Chronicle says that the
Georgia railroad. at it's shops In that
city. is turning out hundreds and thous-
ands of dollars worth of cars. and adds:
1.-THE logic of the enterprise is SELF
assertive. AS we look into it today we
cannot understand why any railroad IN
this section should go east and west
for cars-freight cars or the hnest OF
specials. Manufacturers of the east
must get the raw material for these cars
from the south. We have been told OF
an instance where southern railway
company gave an order for cars to
northern house and actually hauled
over it's line the wood out of which the
cars were made, freighting the raw ma
teral north in June and getting 1t PACK
in the shape of cars in March. Inc
un-business' of this is manifest.
There is no reason why all the cars
used on the railroads in North Carolina
should not be made in this State. The
promoters Of the North Carolina rail-
road built shops at Burlington to make
the cars for that railroad. In Raleigh
the old owners of the Raleigh and Gas
ton railroad locked forward to great
plant to make the equipment of the
trains. With the consultations, the
tendency has been to have great plants
to make cars for many roads. AS re-
suit Company Shops is memory and
the Raleigh and CASTOR shops have be-
come dwarfed into small repair estab-
lishment.
The action of the Georgia railroad
means the presence in Augusta of a
body of skilled workmen, who will con-
1stitute splendid citizenship, and the
utilization of the material of the south
In shops in the south.
