He ASKS FOR A PRIEST
Leon Czolgosz Desires Spiri-
turaI Consolation.
He Receives Visit From Father szadnski
The Priest Remains With Him For
an Hour.
(By the Associated Press.)

Auburn, N. Y, Oct. 22.-Leon +. Czol-
gosz the assassin of President McKin-
ley, who is awaiting electrocution in the
prison here during the week commencing
next Monday, fully realizing that his death
is now question of few days. has
asked for spiritual consolation and this
afternoon received visit from Rev. T.
Szadinski, a Polish priest of the Roman
Catholic church.
Czolgosz's request for a priest of his
own nationality was made known to War
den Mead in the morning. Father Szadin-
ski, who is pastor of st. Stanislaus church,
Rochester, was in this city attending the
forty hours devotions of ST. Alphonsus
church and was asked to visit the pris-
oner. This afternoon he went to the
prison and remained there about an hour.
During the interview Czolgosz said
that he had been baptized in the Ro-
man Catholic faith in the Polish church
in Detroit. He had abandoned the
church early in life and had DIST faith
in it's teachings. hTe priest urged the
condemned man to consider the matter
and told him that if at any
time he decided to embrace the faith he
would return from his home in Roches-
ter and stay with him until the end
Czolgosz assured Father Szadinski if
he determined to accept the offices of
religion he would send for him, but he
did not hold much hope that he would
renOunce the doctrines of anarchy.

Full Of Comical Situations.

A spectator at one of Shakespeare s
plays was heard to make the comment
that 1.-The piece was all right, but it was
too deep for him to understand" Such a
criticism as this could not apply to The
Tanning of the Shrew'' for it's humor can
easily be appreciated by all classes of
people, including the educated and unedu-
Gated. 1t is full of comical situations
arising from the efforts of Petruchio to
tame his shrewish wife Katherine. Finally
his efforts are crowned with success and
every married man in the audience heaves
a sympathetic sigh of relief. Charles
Dickens once said that he considered THE
Tanning of the Shrew" a model comedy in
every sense of the word, and he advised
everybody whether married or single to
witness it, This city will have an oppor-
tunity to see the famous play at the Met
ropolitan Opera House tonight. Charles
B. Hanford, the we'll known Shakesperian
star is at the head of the organization
which also includes the beautiful young
actress Helen GRAVITY, Marie Drofrah.

quite suitable addition to the historic
annals of this ordinarily quiet old town.
Everybody on the street was inquiring
when and where the President could be

the last Of these he rode out in an open

on the principal street corners just at the
conclusion of the ceremony of planting a
Mckinley memorial oak Men and women,
youths and maids. pushed and struggled
to touch the Presidents hand as he,

When a great American once made an
oft-quoted assertion to the effect that you
can't fool all the people all the time, he
failed to take into consideration the art

Raleigh people are just now being given
a realization of this fact in the remark
able Morris wonderful entertainments
that are being given daily on the Fair
grounds. The exhibitions are presented
by Prof. j. B. Morris, who has spent eight
years in the study of the art, and has
succeeded in collecting some of the most
extraordinary electrical effects that the
realm of mystery affords He is very ably
assisted by his wife, who shows the ut

THE STATUE TURNING TO LIFE.
This marvellous exhibition of his is I'M
doubtedly the best attraction on the
grounds. Those who were there yesterday
witnessed the most beautiful entertain
ment they had ever seen, and is certainly
one never to be forgotten. The statue
turning TO life is thus described by one
WIN ooW ~.
When the curtain rises beautiful mar
BILE statue appears and then the head is
taken from the shoulders and then re-
placed. Then gradually before your eyes
an inanimate piece of marble is turned
into a beautiful living woman. How it
is done no one can explain Next, before
you can realize it, a large floral design
appears, decorated with fresh roses.
Again the mysterious hand is out
stretched and several roses are plucked.
The roses gradually fade from view and
slowly the stone lady makes her appear
ance. Here we have the legend of
Pygmalion and Galatea. You know how
the legendary king of Cypress made in
ivory the statue of woman which was SO
beautiful that he prayed to Aphrodite to
endow it with life. This she did, and then
he married the living statue.
The statue is not the whole show. There
arc several other interesting features
shown, and every man, woman and child
goes away praising what he or she has
seen.

Chicago, Oct. 22.-President Roosevelt S
action in entertaining Booker T. Wash

White House was publicly approved by
the American Missionary Association,
which opened it's 55th annual meeting to-
day at the First Congregational church
topic of conversation among the delegates

the society prominence in the education
of the negro making the matter of I'M

was lent to the affair from the fact that
Booker T. Washington received his first
assistance in securing an education from
the association.
When the meeting convened in the
evening Thomas C. Macmillan, of Chi
cago, one of the lay delegates, arose and
on behalf of the Business Committee
presented the following resolution:

tive of his people, thus ignoring race pre-
judice and publicly and officially reaf-
firming the equal rights of American
citizenship and emphasizing the principle
of brotherhood revealed by our great ex-

The resolution was adopted without a
dissenting voice and with manifest ap-
prevail.
The same matter received attention
from Rev. S. Parkes Cadman, of Brooklyn,
who delivered the evening sermon. Re-
ferring to the incident he said:
I'VE cannot shut out from the inclusive

There is scarcely a monstrous para

cannot be traced to the refusal of man to

look upon him as a brother in Christ

FoRMyA BIOLOGICAL CLUB.
Teachers Of Raleigh,Institutions Organ ize
Most Valuable Society.

A preliminary meeting for the pur-
pose of forming a Biological Club was
held in Primrose Hall at the A and M.
College yesterday afternoon. The OBJ
jcct OF the club is TO promote an inter-
est in all biological subjects, botany,
zoology and physiology, to keep alive
the enthusiasm of teachers of these
subjects and to materially strengthen
the members. Meetings will be held on
the first and third Monday of each
month at 4:30 p. m, the place of meet
ing to be changed from meeting to
meeting. Papers of general interest
will be presented, experiments will be
shown and reviews of current biological
literature will add to the value of the
meetings. 1t is hoped that it will be
feasible to have popular lectures fire.
uuently and that field excursions may be
made under the auspices of the club.
The next meeting will occur at st.
Mary's the first Monday of November,
at 4:30 p. m

Female University, spoke regarding the
nature and habits of some of the plants

will tell where to find them.
DR.. Stevens, of the A. and M. College,

hoped that all people interested in any
phase of biology will be present and
will join the club. The only prerequis-
lite is an interest in the subject No sub
ject presents so many claims in popular
interest as biology. To the mother and
the teacher it's counterpart in nature
ton and in subject second to none as
character builder.
The founders of the club are Miss
Adie NJ. Meade, Of st. Mary's Miss

PROCLAMATION
FOR GOOD ROAD MEETING
Calls the Conception to Assemble in Winston,
Nov. LIST and 2nd.

Governor Aycock yesterday issued the
proclamation for the Good Roads Conven-
ton, which meets in Winston November
LIST and End 1t is as follows:
Whereas, the progress of the times, the
convenience of the people, and the devel-
opment of our State require good roads;
and
Whereas, the roads throughout our
State greatly need to be improved and
Whereas, the ways, means and methods
of modern and most approved road build
ing is not thoroughly well known by our
people; and
Whereas, it is desirable that our peo-
pie should come together for the dis
cussion of this important question and to
be informed by experts highly efficient in
the improved art of road building; and
Whereas, under the direction Of the Ma
tional Good Roads Association an exhibit
tion of the most improved methods of
road building will be held in the city of
Winston Salem. North Carolina, on Fri
day and Saturday, November 1st and 2nd
next.
Now therefore, I, Charles B. Aycock,
Governor of the State OF North Carolina,
do hereby issue my proclamation calling
the Good Roads Convention to be held in
the city of Winston Salem on Friday and
Saturday, November 1st and End, 1901, to
which are appointed delegates from the
various sections of the State, requesting
them and all other good citizens whose
convenience will permit, to attend the
said convention.
Given under my hand and the great
seal of the State OF North Carolina at
the city of Raleigh, this the 22nd day OF

one hundred and twenty sixth year OF
our American independence.

the speaker. showed that in every State
where education was universal and strong,
the inventions were numerous. The last
nve States on the list were Georgia, Ala
palna, Mississippi, North Carolina and
south Carolina, our own State having
only one invention for every $4,000 inhab-
itantS"
Speaking of woman, he said 'fIn the
education of our race, woman occupies the
strategic point You can't raise civiliza-
ton except as you give her power to do
1t. The money you invest in her educa-
ton pays better dividend than that you
put in mans education, because it is
possible that an educated father may
have illiterate children, but it is incom-
prehensible that an educated woman's
children should grow up illiterate.
We have not only trifed with this
great question, we have not only begun
educating at the wrong end of the family
but are now not in the A, B, C's of treat
ing women fairly in the use of money
for their education Forty thousand more
women than men in North Carolina can
not read and write, and of those $4,000
are white women"
DR.. McIver went on to say, however

education of women; but remarked that
II was strange that the largest lift to
higher education in recent years had been
made by woman for the endowment of
university for men, because her son was
man. He the referred to the gifts of
Mrs Swepson, who had not overlooked the
women.
The speaker closed by referring to the
grand record made by North Carolina men
in the halls of Congress and on the
field of battle, drawing the inference that
the task before them now was not too
hard for them. Let us he fair to our
selves" he said, "when a man says he
can't. it generally turns out he knew all
about it, as one of our great American
humorists said''

Interest Unabated In the Meeting at the Tab
ernacle Last Night.

At the Tabernacle last night much in
terest was manifested by those present,
as to whether it was god judgment to
continue the services through Fair
week.
There was hardly any perceptible diff
ference in the number last night from
that Of any previous Tuesday night. A
peculiar turn the meetings have taken
among others, is the special drawing
power they have had for drinking men.
many of whom have been converted in
the services.
Last nights topic was from the
words: 'As Moses lifted up the SER
pent in the wilderness, even go must the
Son of Man be lifted up, hiatt whose
ever believeth in Him should not per-
ish but have everlasting life" 1t was
a familiar text but the address had
holding power and the close witnessed
several seekers for pardon of sin.
The meeting will be continued tonight
at 7:30 o'clock.
