sECRETARY,s REPORT.

Mr.. George Allen, Secretary, then
read his report as follows:
The year 1902 has in some respects
been an eventful one for the city OF
Raleigh. The Chamber of Commerce
has made itself felt in a number of mat
tiers Of value. 1t is pleased to report
the marked success of the Good Roads
Convention, held last spring. This con-
vention was arranged by the Good Roads
Commissioner of the United States aided
by Prof James A. Holmes and other
State officials operating through and
with this chamber. The committee that
was appointed by this body did their
work with ability.
The re-opening of the Raleigh Tobacco
market was accomplished by the diff
cult and very successful work of the
committee appointed by this body about
one year ago, and has already been Of
great financial benefit to the city.
At the request of our Masonic friends,
the Chamber of Commerce co-operated
with them in the efforts to have the pro-
posed Masonic Temple located here, and
the thanks of the Chamber are due to
the committee for their efficient work
in aiding to secure the building, which
will be erected next year.
The past year has witnessed the COM
rletion of and opening of the Textile
building at the College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts. For the accomplish
ment of this enterprise the chamber has
done good and effective work for several
years, and now reioices that the young
men of the State will have increased
opportunities to prepare themselves for

MANUFACTURING.

1t is to be hoped that the Chamber will
continue it's efforts to secure the estab-
lishment of manufacturing enterprises in
our city North Carolina is growing
rapidly into a manufacturing State, and
its capital city should keep step with
if in this march of progress. The same
conditions which give US the advantage
of New England in the manufacture of
cotton, gives us the ADVANTAGE IN the
manufacture of all articles OF wood; and
it is earnestly hoped that the Chamber
may be instrumental in establishing
several such factories in our midst dur
ing the coming year.

value by an extension of the service to
the Union Depot and to the eastern Sec
ton of the city. 1t would be well for
the Chamber to use it's best efforts to
secure such extension.
THE AUDITORIUM.
The Auditorium Company has pur-
chased the Academy of Music, and as
soon as the present lease of the Acad-
envy expires, which will be in the spring,
work will be begun on the remodeling,
so that Raleigh will soon have a first
class auditorium 1t is to be hoped that
the Chamber will continue it's efforts
along this line until the auditorium is
completed and fully equipped with all
modern conveniences. This will mean a
great deal for our city.
STATE CONVENTIONS.
1t will be remembered that the politi
cal conventions passed Raleigh by this
year and were held in Greensboro. This
should not occur again, and will not If
our people provide suitable accommo-
dations. This is the logical place for
them to be held and We must see to it
that they are not taken away from US
If we provide suitable accommodations
and show the proper enterprise we will
secure not only the political conventions,
but all other State conventions which
will greatly aid to building up the city
AS the capital of a great State, Raleigh
should be great city, and every means
should be used to turn all eyes ana all
steps hitker.
During the great State Fair just
closed the Chamber established, in con-
nection with the Merchants Association,
an Information Bureau and found logding
for nearly one thousand people Next
year this feature can be made even more
valuable.

TIE LITTLE MINSTREL

His hands are soiled, his throat is bare. His face is streaked with dirt ana thin, Ana many a slip Is in the air
 He plays upon his violin; 4 sadness dwells within his eyes, The shoes are ragged on his feet, And seoffers stop to criticise
 The little minstrel in the street. There by the curb he plays away
 Where flakes float past and winds blow
 chill,
 And maybe, as the critics say,
 He lacks the tutore6 artists skill But now and then a little strain
 Played faultlessly and soft and sweet Floats up from where he stands out there- The little minstrel in the street. Say, ragged little minstrel why
 Must people listen but to hear The false note, ever passing by
 The strain that rises soft and clear1 Oh. 1t were well with us if we
 Might in our own ways sound the sweet And faultless notes as oft as he
 The little minstrel in the street.

MISS CHAPIN's RECITAL.

A fair sized audience gathered at Leavenworth hall last evening to listen to the song recital by, Miss Chapin, as- sisted by Mir Jenkins. tenor, and Miss French, pianist. Most of the enjoy ment of the evening was due to Miss Chapin, whose voice, while not '.big, : is of fine quality and of much sweet ness and fexibility, trained to high degree of perfection. Her best work was done in the ballads and in ''yelen- na," her closing number. Mir Jenkins was suffering from most severe cold which rendered singing obviously diff cult. Still his high tones were cleal and good and his forte is fortissimc singing, consequently the aria, sLend Me Your Aid" was his best number An important part of the program was the piano solos of Miss French, whicI were most daintily rendered. showing her touch and technique to fine advan tage.

 Waterbury's popular military organ ization, Company c, Second regiment. c. N. G., the company that does things is to hold q mischianza at the City hall the week of April 21-26 As the word 'mischianza" is the cause of consid- erable perplexity, Company is offer ing prizes to the pupils of the public schools for a proper definition of the word, and for the name of the famous novel in which 1t appears. Company G, as will be recalled, went to Buffalo last summer, to the Pan-American exposi- Iion, and had such a fine time that the proposal to take similar trip this year has been received with supreme satis- faction by the members of the com pany. The company is desirous of wis iting Washington and will make the trip in June. The funds for the trip will come. it is expected from the mlschianza, which has promise of being stupendous success. It will be fair, but so unlike any fair ever given in Waterbury that the name fair will be voted a Eisnomer. In word. there will be no book canvass. CTS. and there will be no tiresome stage performance. at least no stage perform. ance of the character so well known to fair attendants in Waterbury. Nov city will be the watchword and the well known reputation of Company G for doing things we'll will stand the com pany in good stead-in the arrangements for the mischianza Witness, the SUI perb production of ssThe Girl Lefi Behind Me" and the grand military ball at the City hall December 31st.
 Although Company G's mischianzs is some weeks away the company is diligently preparing for the event. The company will give away large amounts of money in the form of prizes

John F. Clark, with. his unique improvisatlons, has scored pronounced hit. Singing out various groups in different sections of the theater, he improvises verses on them. of course in inofensive strain, which creates the liveliest amusement even among those of whom he sings. The art is altogether unique, and MT Clark prepares his audience for the improvisations by some of the merriest jokes and stories that have been told on the Jacques stage this season. Other capital players on the bill are Mir and Mrs Augustin Neuville, Prof Galletti with his monkeys. the three Keatons Princess Chinquilla and her companion Indians, and Fisher and Clark. Prices are 10 and 20 cents for the matinees all ladies 10; evening prices for all, 10 20 and 30 cents.

1t used to be a common saying among
Chicago newspaper men that more
fakes" came from Indiana than from any
other State, and yet the Chicago news
papers always seem willing to father
any wild story that came from that
wonderful country where every other per-
son is an author of distinction and the
rest OF the people are press agents for
their native writer's. Now comes the
tale that, when Mr. Booth Harrington
takes his seat in the Indiana Legisla-
ture he will propose bill calling for
an annual appropriation on the part of
the State of $500 for a prize to the
Indiana authors of the best literature
during the preceding year. Mr.. Tarking
ton has not vet taken his seat, indeed
he has not yet been elected, though the
fact of his election is generally con-
ceded but it is likely that some of his
indianapolis friends invented the story
about him. A number of Indiana au-
thors have been asked seriously for their
opinions on the matter and most of them
are against any such plan.
