that they sleep two hundred and fifty

The fun is the result of their adventures
in the hands of a bevy Of soubrettes,
vaudeville folk. Bowery people, and many
other typical personages of the gay
metropolis, and. as a consequence, the
amusing incidens that follow can easily
be imagined, and all the more happily re-
membered, insmuch as the greater portion
of the comedy situations are set to music,
which makes them all the more enjoyable.
The production this season is now pre-
tentious than ever. as it appears in an
entirely new dress throughout, having been
equipped with new scenery and costumes,
and many new and novel effects added to
its attractiveness. Although it contains
all of the old popular and familiar melo-
dies nevertheless it admits of many new
and up-to-date musical numbers, which
are introduced. in addition to the several
bright vaudeville features.
The famous original cast has been en-
ployed as far as possible. including Ruth
White, Oscar l.. Figman. Thomas Rickette,
Charles Sharp, William Riley Hatch, l..
J. Meye, George McKissick, Helen Dexter,
Harriet Sheldon, Louise Bracket and
Josephine Dit.
Half dozen new musical numbers have
been introduced in the piece. and one of
them is said to be a tremendous hit. 1t
is "Mdlle New York. sung by Miss
White. and is said to rival the famous
tale of the Kangaroo" in popularity.

Especial to News and Observer
Chapel Hill, N. c.. Nov. 20.-This week
has had an unusual wealth of exercises,
literary, artistic religious, beginning with
the mastery and eloquent dscourses of
Rev. DR.. H. w. Battle of Greensboro. DR..
Battle proved himself to be philosophic
thinker and a c.............. orator.
Mr. Fred Smith by the force of truth
and of an impressive personality-helped
a great number Of our best students to
take their start in the Christian life and
many others were confirmed and steadied
in noble purposes. The Schubert String
Quartette receiver marked appreciation.
Our connoiseurs gave delighted approval
and the popular ear wa sevidently very
much gratified. The round OF entertain
ment was completed on Thursday night
when the faculty lecture was delivered
by DR.. Thomas Hume, professor of Eng
lish Literature, on "The Hymns of the
Ages"
A student of the subject and a critical
hearer said that nothing more brilliant
or scholarly had been offered US.
There was a rapid massing of rare IN
formation about authors and songs.
careful analysis of the masterpieces, a
discussion of their relation to the progress
val and modern literary forms. Touches
of humor, exquisite word painting, dis
eliminating criticism, the eloquence of
conviction, held the large audience under

COTTON HELOSTEADy
F Figures for the DAY Above
Eleven Cents,


Cotton kept close to the figures of the
previous day yesterday, and the ruling
price here was eleven and one-sixteenth.
The receipts were 1872 bales and the
prices ranged from 1O7s to Il S-16. this
being within one-sixteenth of the quota
tons of the previous day. A year ago 100
bales were sold here at IA to 1916
cents pound.
The market held strong during the day
and the indications are that there will be
little change in the market today, it be-
ing certain that eleven cents and over
will be paid for the best cotton offered,
with a minimum figure of 1893 TO 1913
cents a pound.
The mill men in this section are all
buying for immediate delivery said a
cotton buyer yesterday ''TKey seem to
think the price is going down and they
want this as they say the can't manufac-
ture at the present high price of cotton
while their goods have not increased N
price. 1t must either go down or they
must get higher prices for their stuff so
as to get along"
But" said he, II think the price may
go u2 and if the rumor that the govern
ment report to be made on December
third gives the present crop at ten and
one-quarter million bales, then I would
not be surprised to see cotton jump a
cent a pound The receipts now are 225,-
Geo bales short as against last year. but
1t must be remembered that the crop is
three weeks late

BLOWN UP IN SHAFT
internal Machine 1hunders
Death for Two in a
Cage.
(By the Associated Press.)


Cripple Greek, Colo, Nov. 21-Charles
Mccormick, superintendent, Miner Beck
er, a farmer, were killed shortly before
noon today by an explosion in the Vindi-
Gator mine. Officers of the Vindicator
Mining Company assert that the explosion
was caused by an internal machine. and
400 militiamen have been placed on guard
around the companys properties.
Superintendent Mccormick and Miner
Becker were descending into the mine in
the cage. They were the only passengers.
When the cage reached the sixth level
the explosions occurred, wrecking the
cage and shaft, and instantly killing both
men, The explosion, which was terrific,
was heard at the surface and at first was
believed to be an earthquake. The en-
gineer hastily reversed the hoist, but
could not pull up the cage and the bodies
were recovered only after several hours
work, being brought to the surface through
the second compartment of the shaft.
After a thorough examination of the
shaft, it is positively asserted by officers
of the mining company that the explosion
was caused by an internal machine. They
assert that the Internal machine, con-
tanning many pounds of dynamite, had
been placed in the sixth level. which is
part of the abandoned workings of the
mine within few inches Of the shaft.
Then a loaded revolver was fixed in the
shaft with It's nozzle pointing directly to-
ward the Internal machine. To the trlg-
ger of the revolver was attached string,
which was thrown across the shaft in
such manner that the revolver would
explode, the bullet striking the Internal
machine. Pieces of this revolver have
been found at the bottom of the shaft,
but not part of the internal machine
can be found.

The Colored Orphan Asylum,

To the Editor: The sorrows of the or
phan pressed heavily upon the heart OF
Rev. A. Shepard. who, as travelling mis-
sionary came daily in contact with Their
woes, so in August. 1888 in Henderson he
met with other Christian men lmpelled
by the same loving interest in the father
less and organized the ''Colored Orphan
Association" of North Carolina. Thu as
ISOLATION made strenuous efforts and We're
enabled in 1886 to purchase site for a
colored orphan asylum, cnsisting OF %
acres of land and a small house with
three rooms on it. Since that time farm
of 144 acres has been paid for-the boys
and girls have each good sized buildings,
two stories in height, a school room,
laundry, stables and superintendent 5
home, have all been added.
With little variation the family num-
bers 100 all the year; and since the open
ing of the asylum 375 children have been
under its care.
Our great causes for gratitude are the
loving care of our Heavenly Father in
providing for our needs by inclining prl-
farmersvate individual to generously be-
stow of their means, and particularly IN
allowing us through the State a liberal
freedom from mortality, only 10 deaths
having occurred in the II years since its
opening. and for the encouragement and
inspiration given us by the recent gift Of
q good dwelling and three acres of land
adjoining the asylum, which will make us
to receive a number of the needy appli-
cants who are continually beseeching to
enter.

A. w Graham, DR.. White Cooper Bros,

these never fail to stand by us when we
require their assistance
So many of our children have come
rom homes whose influences could only
lead them to become injurious to them
selves and others, whereas they are to-
lay respectable and law abiding citizens.
The great aim has been to instil the word
of God in their minds and they are fed
from its truths as they are from the ia

Our needs at present are Bibles tor the
children to study from, desks and other
school furniture for which we have never
had funds available, and furnishings for
the new home which is to be occupied by
he little ones. Perhaps some friends
will make us more thankful by helping
to supply these needs.
