THE BAND PLAYED "DlxlE."
And Sousa Won the Hearts of the
People at Fayetteville.

And Sousn Won the Hearts of the
People at Fayetteville.
When North Carolina celebrated its
centenary. the Marine band was order
ed to Fayetteville to participate In the
ceremonies. said Bandmaster Sousa
The little southern town was much in
terested in the advent of the "presi-
dents band" and the prevailing opin-
Ion was that Dixie" would be tabooed
music with us. Before the exercises a
local committee waited upon me and
intimated that Dixie" was popular
melody in that vicinity.
"Of course" said the spokesman, I'VE
don't want you to play anything you
don't want to. but please remember,
sir, that we are very fond of Dixie
here"
Bowling gravely, thanked the COM
mittee for their interest in my pro-
gramme, but left them completely in
the dark as to whether l intended to
play the loved song of the south or not.
The ceremonies opened with patri-
otto address by Governor Fowle laud-
ing the glories of the American flag,
and naturally the only appropriate mu-
Sic to such sentiment was "The Star
Spangled Banner" which the crowd
periodically cheered.
The tone of the succeeding grafton
was equally fervid. but the speaker en-
larged upon the glories of the common
wealth whose one hundredth anniver-
sary was being celebrated. The orator
sat down. and there was a momentary
pause. and then as l raised my baton
the strains of Dixie" fell upon the de-
lighted ears of the thousands round the
platform.
The unexpected had happened, and
such shout as went up from that
throng | have never heard equaled.
Hats We're tossed in the air, gray hair
ed men embraced. and for few min
utes jubilant pandemonium reigned
supreme. During the rest OF our stay
In Fayetteville the repertory of the Ma
rine band was on this order: Yankee

CliINA'S ARMISTICE.
PENNG DISPATCH ANNOUNCES SUS-
PENSION OF HOSTILE FORAYS.

State Department Sends Instructions to
nese Request Imperial Regulars and
Boxers Massing Near Pao Ting Flu.
Picking, Dec. 31.-The Chinese pleni-
potentiaries have been unexpectedly
ordered to sign the preliminary joint
note and have notified the foreign en-
voys to that effect.
The Chinese themselves were great
ly astonished ut receiving the imperial
instructions. Neither Ii Hung Chang
nor Prince Ching had expected success
in persuading the court under ten
days.
The emperor's instructions are to
agree fully to the note, but to en-
deavor to get the best terms possible,
particularly in the matter of limiting
the number of the legation guards and
also as to the places where these are
to be located. The plenipotentiaries
are instructed to endeavor to limit
the number of army posts along the
line of railway to as few as possible
and finally to require the powers not
to destroy the forts. but to merely
disarm them
Lii Hung Changes health is bad and
it is doubtful whether he will be able
to do more than affiX his signature to
an instrument delegating his powers
to Prince Ching until another pleni-
potentiary has been appointed. He
was dressed this morning and carried
In chair to the residence of Prince
Ching. with whom he held long con-
sultation. Prince Ching then called
upon the doyen of the diplomatic corps,
the Spanish minister. Senior de Colo
gan, and requested him to notify the
other ENJOYS that instructions had
been received from the emperor to sign
the note.
London. Jan. IA dispatch from
Peking says an armistce has been pro-
claimed.
Washington, Jan. 1.-The officials
here are puzzled to account for the an
nouncement of this armiStice before
the Chinese answer, which asked for
it. had been received by the ministers

answer was not received until last
night. However, it is suggested that
the rather vigorous expressions of dis
satisfaction by some of the powers at
the prosecution of these military raids
upon Chinese who are showing no dis
position to attack foreigners may have
had some effect at last. The state de-
partment has sent strong instruction
to Minister Conger directly in line with
the Chinese request for suspension of
military excursions
The state department has received
a dispatch from Minister Conger an
nOuncing that the Chinese plenipoten-
tiaries have notified the representa-
tives of the powers that the emperor
DEGREES the acceptance of their de-
mands as a whole and Prince Ching
requires further conference.

HE wHlsTLeD ON THE WAY.

No deeds of fame enshrined his name,
No laurel wreath or bay,
And yet he made earth happier;
He whistled on the way!
When sorrow frowned and stars we're drowned
In stormy skies and gray,
he saw the light stream through the night;
He whistled on the way!
And even grief found sweet relief,
Hope shed brighter ray.
And hearts he knew not blessed hiE
For whistling on the way!
And when from life's dark shadows
He passed into the day
They wrote above this line of love,
''He whistled on the way!"

The Supreme Court of the State
has rendered a decision in the two
cases brought by Eliza Hawk
against Frank Harris, which were
tried in this county some months
ago. The parties live in Audubon
county. but as the defendant owned
land in this county the actions were
tried here. Harris, minor, was
sued for damages for seduction and
this plaintiff secured verdict for
100000. and III another suit YER
dict for 100000 for the support of her
child. The lower court refused to
permit the sums, which were award
ed, to be collected by execution, di-
recting that claim be filed against
the estate of the defendant which
was still in the probate court, be-
cause the lad was not of age. Fear
ing that other claims against the
estate would reduce it so that the
girls judgment could not be col
lected, an appeal to secure permits

Court allows, and the girl in the
case will undoubtedly secure her
money soon.--A tlantic Telegraph.
