DARKEST RUSSIA

A Hebrew-speaking company will present Darkest Russia in their na- tive tongue this evening at Poli's,a nov city that is not often provided here. The play is melodra ma which shows the suferings of the Jewish race in Russia and the sacrifices they are called upon to make for their ancient faith, and the picturesque costuming and scenic appointments invest the working out of the story with much dramatic intensity. The play should be particularly inviting to those who are familiar with the Hebrew tongue, and there will doubtless be many of these in evidence this evening. Prices are 9, 35, 50, 75 cents and $1.

THE LESSON BECK'S FALL
TEACHES.

a few years ago a man in Allegheny
serted the Democratic party. He began
to edit a bitter and vituperative Repub
liean sheet Later he was appointed post
master at Sparta. In February he was
arrested for defalcation, removed from
office, and has either been tried or will
be tried in the Federal Court. When
charged with using money belonging 70
the post office department, Beck is quoted
as saying that he used the money in
the interest of the Republican party by
circulating his newspaper That is pro-
badly strictly true. A man who publishes
a newspapers for a party that can't read
must have some outside source of rev
tributions Mr. Beck seems to have used
the public money entrusted with him to
print his campaign sheet The revenue
doodlers and other little bosses were
parting Beck on the back while he was
"whooping it up for the Republican
ticket through his paper. They deserted
him in the hour of his trouble-trouhle
caused by following the lead of bigger
mon in his party.
Mr. Beck doubtless wishes now that he
had never taken the first false step. A
man who barters his political principles
will. il temptation comes, fall into other
wrong-doing.

THE GOWNS.
Charity and Children.

Charity and Cnlldren.
The Supreme Court judges are too large,
we must hope, to yield to the sentimental
pressure that is being brought to bear
upon them to clothe themselves in flow
ing robes. Little men ought to have
gowns, just as little preachers ought by
all means to wear the high-cut coats
with buttons like the rivets of boiler;
but men who are really strong and big
do not need to wear a label of their
greatness. We are in hopes our Supreme
Court will not jump into frocks just be-
cause a few nice gentlemen are pleading
with them to do so. We notice another
innovation which we are sorry to see
spreading, and that is the wearing Of
gowns by the seniors at our college COM
mencements. We North Carolinians are
plain folks and do not take to the toy
gerry of rank and royalty. Young men in
college imbibe ideas that shape their
lives. That is what a college is for, in
fact, and while this gowning business is
little thing it appears to us to be a
wrong thing, and therefore it is not wise
to adopt it.. The young fellows who
graduate are just on the eve of getting
down to meet and mingle with men. For
four years they have been cut off from
the world and have associated with each
other. but on graduating day they bid
farewell to college life and get down to
where things are real and practical. On
this day of all others they ought not to
draw the line of demarkation between
themselves and the men of the world
from whom they must win their bread
1t is not a wholesome start, and it's in
fluence on character cannot be helpful
Besides, the people of this State are
every day men and women, do not be-
lieve in foolishness, and whether they be
right or wrong it is well enough to re
spect their opinions. In this country men
wear mems cloths, and gowns are not
found in their wardrobes. Why adopt a
different costume on one day to be lis
carded forever when the day is over?
Docs it add dignity to character? Does
it inspire awe or reverence in the be-
holders? What is the end to be reached
by wearing a gown, anyhow? Suppose u
candidate for political office were to
sail out before the sovereigns in stately
skirts? He wouldn't black the board on
election day. We see no crime in man
wearing frOck if he wants to, but we
are obliged to say that our opinion of
one who does so--well, it is of no conse
quence for us to say what our opinion Is.

Among the Railroads.

Writing to the Southern Tobacco Jour-
nal. w. T. Hughes & Company of Louis
burg, say:
1--WE have talked with several planters
this week who will plant only one-half
what they did last year, and one farmer
VINO planted twenty acres last season will
not plant at all whilst many will give
their time to planting corn and cotton
until the tobacco plants are over grown /:
so on the whole, it is reasonable to say
that the planting will be at least 20 per
cent less than last year.
Our sales to date are a small frac-
ton under six million pounds"
Elizabeth City, N. c.. April 30.-The
workmen who are engaged in clearing
the way FOR the Suffolk and Carolina
tracks are now making very speedy pro-
gregs. considering the circumstances. The
work has now reached the centre of the
desert. or Dismal Swamp section, several
miles from this place, where it is being
pushed with all possible energy and
speed permitted by the jungle-like coun-
try. When once out of that tract The
speed will be almost rcdoubled. The civil
engineers keep a large force of men at
work constantly.
Suits are to be brought against the
Southern Railway on account of the kill
ing of Messrs w A. Cooper and R. L.
BoIand in the horrible railroad accident
at Scarlett's crossing, east of University
Station, on the afternoon of March 9th
last 1t is understood that the two suits
will aggregate $50, 900 if not more than
that amount. The firm of Kitchin &
Carlton, of Roxboro, composed of Con-
gresham w. w. Kitchin and Mr. Luther
NJ. Carlton, have been retained to fight
the Cooper case, and they will probably
have charge of the other case. The suits
will probably be brought in Caswcll
county. The men met death in Orange
county, but they lived in Caswell county,
and the suits can be brought in either
county.-Hillsboro Observer.
A highly interesting case is now pend
ing in the Illinois Supreme Court. The
city of Chicago is seeking to tax the
immensely valuable railway terminal
property within it's bounds for local pur-
poses and the railways have carried the
case up, declaring that the property
sought to be taxed is right of way,
whereas the city contends that the right
of way includes only strip 100 feet wide
The advantage to the city of changing
the method of taxing this property would
be that the valuation would be greatly
increased and that all the taxes on such
property would then go to the city. I'm
der the present method of taxation the
of each railway company is as
sessed as a whole and the tax proper
toned among the counties according to
the mileage in each.
AS an indication of the enormous in
crease in valuation under the new plan,
for by the city, the following
examples are given:

A MORNING TONIC.

1t is not good for patriotism and re-
ligion to live alone. They should live to-
gether. The wedlock of the passions of
religion and patriotism tends to develop
and broaden mankind. With patriotism
alone, man becomes selfish and dcgener-
ates into a materialist with greed for
gold. Patriotism needs religion to purify
the ambition. Doubly blessed is the man
who is lifted up into heavenly citizenship
to help his beloved country become a
province of heaven.

If the citys contention is well found
ed, it therefore appears that there is
sixty seven million dollars worth of
property belonging to these six companies
alone, that escapes taxation under the
present method.
In arriving at this valuation the city
fauthorities assessed as city lots all real
estate of the railway companies, save the
100-foot right of way, and stations and
buildings of all sorts We're assessed at the
same valuation as adjacent property.
There does not seem to be anything
very unreasonable in this contention OF
the city that railway property, apart from
the right of way. should be assessed at
the same valuation as the property OF
others adjacent thereto. Certainly it is
absurd to class as right of way the vast
terminal properties owned in our cities
by the railway companies.

chosen to that honorable and holy Of
fee will bring to the high duties those
qualities of mind and heart that befit

courtesy noble gentleman, consider
ate, thoughtful, kind generous, sympa-
thetic. He is student and a scholar
has given much of his life to the in
struction of the youth in college and
seminary, where he was grown in knowl-
edge and the power Of imparting instruc-
delightful, as well as able and
eloquent, preacher OF the Word and his
sermons inspire his congregations
with an earnest desire to live on
higher plane. He is a man of affairs
his business judgment taxed in the con-
duct of a great female school, (St
Mary's School in this city, would do
credit to any successful business man.
The people of Raleigh particularly
and of the whole State will regret to
lose DR.. Bratton as rector of St Mary's
School. Under his administration that
famous old school has prospered more
and more every year. He is a versa
tile, as we'll as accomplished divine,
capable of the highest success in the
pulpit, in the professors chair, as col
lege president, and in the greater office
whereunto he has been called he will
be a power for righteousness.
