III Proposed Agreement Is Put
Into Effect.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.--The matter Of
another agreement in sports between Har-
ward and Yale is receiving considerable
publicity just now, and there is much
conjecture as to what is being done The
question is in abeyance.
Nothing is being Gone at present, not
because there is any hitch but because
the time is not ripe 10 bring the matter
to an issue. There are no. stumbling
blocks in sight. the subject simply resting
on the shelf for the time being.
Display Deep Interest.
In connection with Harvard-Yale sports.
however. number of graduates of both
universities are taking active interest,
particularly along the line of purity at
the two institutions, and a somewhat rad
ical departure is being worked up by
these alumni.
1t is said on excellent authority that
some fifty of them will write. if they have
not already done So to the athletic au-
thorities at Harvard and Yale, recon-
merding that Harvard and Yale sport in
the future be confined to undergraduates.
Rule n Radical One.
When it is considered the number of
stars in the different athletic branches
this regulation would have barred, had it
been in effect, the radical nature of the
proposed rule may be understood.
1t will keep off varsity teams all post
graduates, and that whether they have
PLAYED four years or not, also members
of the graduate schools. such as law or
medicine
Jumpers Ruled Out.
In other words. the rule will restrict
teams to academic and other strictly un-
dergraduate DEPARTMENTS ant keep off men
who go from one college direct to another
and become eligible after a years resi-
dence.
The athletic heads at the two colleges
are Prof Hollis, at Harvard. and Walter
Camp, at Yale. and through them the col
leges will be brought face to face with
the suggestion.
This plan will make better sport and
stronger teams said one today who is
trying to put 1t through. 1T will mean
greater loyalty on the part of the ath-
etes."

CHARGE AND DENIAL.
The 'dodger' stage of the canvass
was reached yesterday. Mr.. NJ A.
Rightsell. of Manchester, appeared be-
fore Mr.. Clarence Walden, a notary pub

statement is not true. and that he never

CITIES TO DECIDE.
The vote in the cities of Richmond and
Manchester to-day will tell a great
tale. and will, according to popular judg-
ment, decide who shall be the nominee.
The counties are not expected to DOLL
any heavy vote. None of them have
done so in the other districts, and no
great innovation is anticipated here in
the Third. Brisk times are expected in
the cities and suburban towns. however
and a fair vote is anticipated every
where save in the rural districts.
No one knows who will win. The can
didates are both stoutly claiming victory,
but even with them the matter is one
around which there are the gravest
doubts.
NEED NOT REGISTER.
Again it is impressed upon the voters
that no new registration is necessary in
order to vote. Any one qualified to
vote in the last primary, or who under
the old Constitution would have been
eligible to vote in the coming general
election may cast his ballot in the pri-
mary to-day. The viva voce system
will be tried here for the first time. and
Is expected to work all right. The
Judges and clerks have been named by
the City Committee, and the precincts
selected. making everything in practical
readiness for the battle.

A DELIGHTFUL VISIT.
Elm City Lodge of Odd Fellows
Visit the Orphan Home
Here in a Body.
Here in a Body.

When the afternoon train rolled in
from the north Sunday there fled
out of its coaches a large number of
fne-looking men, who, in the aggre-
gate, as they assembled on the side
walk, made quite an imposing APP
pearance. Tt did not take the
ARGUS man long to learn that they
were the Odd Fellows lodge of Elm
City, who had come in a body to pay
a Sunday visit to the State Orphan
Home of their order here.
They were met at the train by
Messrs. w. T. Harrison and G. G..
Smith, who r always actively in
terested in anything pertaining to
the Home, and the entire body were
soon on their way to that beautiful
institution, where-though their visit
was in the nature of a surprise-they
were cordially greeted by Superin-
tendent Brinson and the whole con
tingent of 1fty-one children.
The visitors were first escorted to
the lovely little chapel of the Home,
where, in the presence of the chill
dren, Mr. Brinsom spoke some cor
dial words of appreciation of their
visit and gave them much interest
ing information in detail of the
Home and its WOrk-What it had &C
complished in the past, its present
operations, and its bright hopes for
the future. He then. called OF Col.
Jos. E. Robinson, editor of the AR
GUS, whom he saw in the audience,
to speak some words of welcome to
the visitors, after which some very
happy little talks were made by sew
eral of the latter ; and then the chill
dren rendered several songs for their
entertainment. After this, the chill
dren themselves were made supreme
ly happy by being ushered into the
dining room where a bountiful feast
of fruits and candies-the gift of the
generous-hearted and thoughtful
visitors-greeted their glad vision
and while they were enjoying these
good things the visiting gentlemen
were shown over the institution and
the beautiful grounds and viewed the
lovely surrounding country.
In the evening they were enter
tanned at supper by Neuse Lodge at
the Acme Cafe and returned home
ION the 9:36 train, seemingly well
pleased with their visit; and GER
tainly were we all glad to see them
and deeply gratiied at their kindly
interest, thus manifested, in the
Home.

a CLEVER
Floyd f. Dawson Brought From
Columbus, Miss.-Wante in

WHSOn For EmboZZeIment.
There was a prisoner at the rail-
road WaitlngroomsThursd morning
who attracted right much attention.
He came in on the early train over
the Southern Railway and had to
wait here until the departure of the
1890 train over the Atlantic Coast
Line for Wilson, from which place
he left about three months g and
where he is wanted for embezzIe-
ment. His name is Floyd F.. Daw-
son, who will be remembered as the
ascending book-keeper for Hackney
Bros, the buggy manufacturers of
that town. He is an Intelligent
young man of 30 years of age and of
pleasing address. He talked freely
when the reporter called on any sub
ject but his crime. Of this he would
make no statement, either as to the
amount of his shortage or what
course he would pursue when he
reached home. He said he had been
in Columbus, Miss, since he had
left home and that his whereabouts
had been known all along. In view
of this fact the arrest caused him
right much surprise. He said that
he wished it made public that he
did not require the officers to secure
requisition papers of any kind. He
said that he was conducting a branch
music house in Columbus when ar
rested, for a Jackson, (Miss.) firm.
He had disposed OF all the pianos
but one and had been talking to a
prospective customer for an hour
when the officer came in his place of
business. He ~telegraphed his firm
to send a man who could settle up
the business. This was done and
Mr.. Dawson has letters on his per-
son from his firm which show their
relations to have been very pleasant
as well as profitable.
The unfortunate young man said
that he came rom kentucky about
five years ago and was not related
to the many people in this section
who bear the same name. He said
that his father and mother were liv-
ing in Washington, n. c., where he
had a wife and child, who might
meet him in Wilson.
He had been clerking or book
keeping for Hackney Bros. about
two years when he left. He said
laughingly when asked to have a
cigar that he supposed he was the
first man in handouts the reporter
had ever seen who did not drink,
smoke, chew or curse. He said he
had never used tobacco or cursed,
but that prior to 1887 he used whis-
key on social occasions to a very linn
tied degree.
