Of "Nell Gwynne," the opening bill
of the Lyceum Stock Company, the
San Antonio Daily Light says:
The Lyceum Company is a very
capable one and the title role was ar
tistically portrayed by Miss Ella Gros-
Jean. She won the audience upon
her first appearance, and upon each
succeeding appearance was received
vita shower of applause. Her i'm
personation of the actress in which
she DISCUSSES herself as a court mes
senger to ascertain the kings love for
her was clever bit of acting. The
play was beautifully costumed and the
parts were in capable hands, A
pleasing feature was pretty minuet

were some of the best ever seen in
this city.
The above company will be at the

Sentelle For Legislature.

To the Editor: We, as the Democratic
voters of Wake Forest and Little River
Townships, respectfully insist that the
Democratic party give us a representative
in the next General Assembly. The peo-
pie of the northern and eastern sections
of the county always give a strong Dem
ocratic majority, and we wish the people
to bear in mind that we have not had q
member in either the Senate or the Leg
islature in twenty years. Prof. r. e.
Sentelle is our choice. He is a native of
Haywood county, N. c., and has spent
the biggest portion of the last six years
in Wake county. He graduated at Wake
Forest College in 1901, and he won con-
siderable demonstrating been elected to
represent his society on some important
occasions, and having proven himself a
leader among the young men. During the
past year he served as one of the princi-
pals of Wakefield high school, and his
success there speaks for his ability.
Having business tact and oratory about
him we feel that he will do excellent
service for the Wake county people in
the Legislature.
For many voters.

Citizens of Norfolk Honor the Major. He is

(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated PresS)
Norfolk, July 14.-The presentation of
a sword to Major L. w. T. Waller, of
the Marine Corps, by the citizens of Nor
folk, his native home, in the Academy
of Music tonight was marked in it's sim
plicity Mayor j. G. Riddick introduced
Hon. Alfred p. Thorn, who made the pre-
sentation speech and Major Waller re-
piled feelingly. Several hundred people
were in the audience, While on the stage
were Admiral Cotton. Captain Thomas,
Paymasters Calf, Phillips and Woods,
Lieutenants Stickney and Snyder, of the
Navy, Captain Keeling and Lieutenants
Kevime and Toms, of the Norfolk Light
Artillery Blues. Colonel A. M. Higgins,

from alluding to his court martial or ex-

vices and fear that in honoring me you
have overlooked the officers and men
who shared the hardships and trials with
me who by their bravery, unfaltering
devotion to duty unquestioning obedience
and undying zeal, left me nothing to do
but push onward and perform my duty.

, said to have asked for scale of eighteen
cents an hour. This was half n cent
above the schedule the managers had
been assured by both the State Board Of
Arbitration and the Chicago Business
Mems Board of Arbitration, would be
accepted. Some of the managers refused
promptly to consider the proposition,
others told the committee to return later
in the day.
Then Secretary Driscoll of the Chicago
Board of Arbitration was communicated
with, as was also John S. Field. III. b.
Steele and other members CT the biard.
Some of the managers wanted to know
if the agreement that 1715 cents an nour
for truckers, which had been fixed and
approved by the board a few days ago
had been abandoned. They were assured
it had not. Explanations followed and
the fact that eighteen cents had been
asked in some class angered the members
of the local Board of Arbitration.
Secretary Driscoll discovered that the
committees had presented other sched-
ules than those agreed upon, and that
they did it under the approval Of Pres
ident Curran, of the Freight Handlers
Union, who said eighteen cents would be
asked and if it should be refused sew
enteen and a half cents an hour would
be accepted.
"That puts us in nice position before
the railroad managers said Mr.. Dris-
coll, bitterly. "Curran has broken faith
with us and has gone squarely back on
his agreement. That settles matters be-
vi hn Il Il :
lers. We shall have nothing more 10 do
with Curran or his union. Neither chall
we attempt to dissuade transfers if they
desire to return to work tomorrow If
they do that it means defeat for the
freight handlers. We shall have nothing
more to do with Curran or his union.
Neither shall we attempt to dissuade
teamsters if they desire to return to
work tomorrow. If they do that it means
defeat for the freight men,"
The general managers tonight issued
a statement in which they say that the
railroad companies are opposed to making
any CONCESSIONS that will result in Yield
ing control of their business to any labor
organization.
First The offers made by the railroad
companies April ii anu July L, gave t
substantial and adequate increase of
wages.
Second. In all conferences held be-
tween the railway officers and commit
tees of employees, it has been conclusive
ly shown that as individuals, the men
are satisfied with the terms offered them.
The Instructions in the way of e. t.
Element come from the officers of the L
ion.
Third A large number of the en-
ployes have already returned to work
and many others have expressed will
lingness to do so as soon as the prevail
ing disorder has passed.
The strike reached the rioting stage
this evening, and it was only after the
police had charged on the crowd repeat
eddy and arrested eleven men that
semblance of order was restored.
