ODETTE TYLER.

Mr.. r. d. Mclean and Miss Odette
Tyler will present king John" at the
Academy of Music Wednesday night.
The following from the Memphis Scimi-
tar of November 23rd, is an example OF
the favorable notices received through
out the south: This seems TO he sea
son of Shalzespearean revivals, and r.
d. MacLean and Miss Odette Tyler but
joined in q general movement toward the
higher class of the drama when they an
nounced king John" and "CoriolGnus'
as part of their repertoire.
Mr.. MacLean is an actor of ability.
He has taken thankless part and
placed it in such a light before the
audience that his vilIiany is forgotten
in the thoroughness of his acting. His
facial expression is one of the most tell
ing parts in the stars work, the every
emotion of the king finding a splendid
portrayal in the ccuntenance of Mr..
MacL can. He has taken up Shakes
pearean work because of his love for it,
and certainly he deserves the support
and Generalization of the public for his
efforts III that line.
Miss Tyler is magnificent Lady Con-
stance. She is a charming actress and
fully shares in the honors OF the evening
with Mr.. MacLean. Her work at all
times was most effective, and it was not
long after the opening of the play until
she had worked herself into the hearts
OF the audience, and they were ready to
applaud each of her scenes.

CAPTAINS OF. INDUSTRY.
Two North Carolinians Present at the New
York Dinner to Prince

None of the North Carolina editors
were present at the dinner given by the
publishers of the Stats Zeitung. but in
the dinner given by what the New York
Sun calls the lone Hundred Immortals
of Yankee Industry" there were two
North Carolinians, both formerly of
Durham Mr.. James B. Duke, president of
the American Tobacco Company, and Mr..
Samuel Il. Morgan, president of the Vir-
ginia- Carolina Chemical Company. The
committee in charge of the dinner under
took TO select the hundred men who are
regarded as pre-eminently responsible
for the marvellous Industrial develop
ment of the United States"-called the
real captains of industry" Of the North
Carolinians present the Sun says:
Everybody knows that J. B. Duke is
the American Tobacco King.
THE industrial development of the
United States would hardly have been
what it is today had it not been for the
wonderful development of the South. 1t
has seemed to The Sun that two men,
perhaps more than any others, should
stand for the industrial development of
the country south of Mason and Dixon s
line. One of them is Samuel It. Morgan,
President % the Virginia Carolina Chem
ical Company and the other is Henry
M. Flagler, who has made his fortune as
an officer of the Standard Oil Company.
By process which he devised for the
making of phosphate, Mr.. Morgan has
turned barren wastes of the South into
productive cotton plantations and, there
by, has turned millions of dollars into
the pockets of the Southern people. Henry
NJ Flagler, by his development of rail
way and water transportation in the ex-
IRENE South has opened as it We're, an
unknown country to the rest of the
world and then, by the expenditure of
millions in great hotels, has made Flor
ida and nearby States pleasant places for
strangers to dwell in.
[Mr. Flagler is not North Carolinlan
but his wife is, and that makes him
enough of a Tar Heel to count.l

COUNCIL WAS TIED UP
ONLY THIRTEEN MEMBERS RE-
SPONDED TO MAYORS CALL.
Could Not Pass Appropriation
Ordinance for Board of
HeaIth's Benefit.

Because there were thirteen members
present the Council could not transact any
business last night at the special meeting
called by the mayor at the request Of the
Board of Health. Thirteen councilmen can
do many things, but they cannot appropri-
ate the city's money, since it is required
that in considering appropriation Ordi-
nances there must be present twO-thirds
of the membership of the body. Thirteen
was unlucky last night for the reason that
it was just one short of the necessary
number. The wait of an hour failed to
increase the number, and Vice President
Rhodes adjourned the meeting.
Mayor Bookwalter put in an appearance
after adjournment had been taken, ana
was visibly annoyed at the fizzle. 1t was
extremely important. he said, that the
smallpox appropriation measures should
have been acted on, as delay Of even d
few days hampers the Board of Health III
dealing with the e~xigencies of the situa-
ton. The mayor informed the members
that he would call a meeting for to-mor-
row night at 1880 o'clock.
The finance committee met before the roll
call, and, after considering the ordinance
appropriating 5000 for the use of the
I1tdlsn DOd40 III EoSAh5 -
penses, recommended that it be passed.
The four members of the committee present
signed the report. An ordinance appropri-
ating 5000 for the same purpose was to
have been introduced. but it will have to
wait until tomorrow night.
After the meeting last night a half dozen
councilmen remained to discuss the ques-
ton OF gas meters. There were two Dem
ocrats present and four Republicans, and
without exception they were outspoken in
favor of passing a meter ordinance of some
kind. The majority favored passing an
ordnance providing that the use Of natural
gas shall be confined to private residences,
and that the consumption snail be measured
by meter. 1t was the unanimous opinion
that factories and business houses should
be cut off from the gas supply. The senti-
ment seemed TO be also that the rate of
p cents. proposed by the two companies.
is too high. and that a rate of 10 cents per
Loo cubic feet, or even 20 cents, would be
right.
These men would not consent to the use
Of their names for the reason. all said, that
they desired first to call public meetings
in their individual wards and vote accord
ing TO public opinion rather than according
TO their judgment. All agreed that the
meter ordinance would be passed in some
form or other, probably amended on the
points of rate and restriction of use.

its bad people. The place was called '"The
Laurels." on account OF the growth OF
laurel trees. Her first sight of the people,
she said, gave her the impression that n
her friends had said about the place was
true. The men were adorned in naming
red shirts. made Of homespun material,
and the women and girls wore dresses of
the same hue. When they saw her COM
ing the feminine portion of the family ran
TO the small cabin 10 hide, while the men
grabbed their firearms and asked the
strangers who they were. Miss Goodrich
said she was really frightened. but she
soon learned that the natives thought they
'moonshine stills" They told the men
who they were and what they wanted.
The party was then taken into a small
cabin. where arrangements were made for
the first school.
From this little beginning, she said, the
eight large schools, which are now -four
ishing in the mountain districts OF North
Carolina. had sprung. Many OF the ma
tives who were interested in distilling when
the strangers came had abandoned the bus
mess, built good houses and were now lead
ing Christian lives. Not only did they be-
come Christians. but all were anxious to
go TO school. In the locality where she
resides Miss Goodrich said there are now
two Industrial schools. which nave worked
wonders among the children of the natives.

Miss Florence Lanham, in charge or the

The Krag-ReynOIds Matter.

Judge Carter yesterday heard the plea OF
d. W. Coffin, receiver of the Krag-Reynolds
Company, and Lewis c. Walker, his attor-
ney for allowances of $4,000 and 5000 re-
spectively for their services. Mr.. Coffin has
received $3.50 and is asking for $,625 more.
He has been receiver of the company, for
four years and three months, and showed
the court that he had collected Sl47, 065. II,
interest to the amount of S1O.6O0 and So
335 in excess of the appraisement OF the
assets. Mr.. Walker has received $500 Of
the amount he asks. A number of men tes-
titled that the demands were reasonable.
w. H. II. Miller, in speaking against the
application, took occasion to say that pub
lie officials are paid enough and that they
should not be enabled TO compete with mill
lionaires in splendor. He said the salaries
of public officials in Washington are high
enough, and that it would be unwise to
raise salaries to a competitive basis with
millionaires in their elaborate displays be-
cause public duties would be neglected.

from Board of Works.

The Board of Public Works yesterday
acted favorably on the petition of the At
las engine works for a number of addi-
tiOnal switches across streets in the vi
cinity of the plant. TIL petition was the
result of the decision Of the company TO

sary cars. The contract was signed by
the board yesterday evening late. 1t in
cludes the usual provisions in regard to
planking crossings. keeping switches in re-
pair and holding the city blameless in the

Yandes street parallel with the present At
las works siding.
