w. B. KENDRICK DEAD.
Died in Atlanta Saturday From
Pneumonia.
Raleigh News & Observer.

Raleigh News & Observer.
It will be shock to large num-
Der of friends and acquaintance to
learn of the death of Captain w. B..
Kendrick.
A telegram received yesterday af-
ternoon from Atlanta told of his
death during the afternoon, result
ing from pneumonia. His remains
will reach here this afternoon over
the Seaboard Air Line. No particu-
lars were obtainable last night as to
the time of the funeral and it is not
known whether this will take place
this afternoon on Monday.
Captain Kendrick was well known
as gallant Confederate officer, as an
educator of great ability, and for
many years as the Southern repre-
sentative of the University Publish
ing Company. He has in connection
with this work come in contact with
the leading educators of the South,
and has as large an acquaintance
among the teachers of Virginia,
North and South Carolina and Geor-
gia as any one man in the South.
Captain Kendrick was a native Of
Georgia. He enlisted in the Confed-
crate army from that State and did
gallant service, attaining the rank Of
captain. Before and after the war
he was at the head of fourishing
schools in Georgia and later he ac-
cepted a position with the Univer-
sity Publishing Company, which
considered him as one of the most
valuable men in it's employ. He
had visited every county in North
Carolina.
Captain Kendrick was sixty-three
years old and had spent twenty y-sixs

LEGISLATIVE.
The More Important Proceedings of
Yesterdays Session of House
Z and Senate.
HOUSE,.

Several bills of considerable inter-
est were introduced yesterday.
One was a measure to prevent
the intermarriage of first cousins.
This amends section 1910 of the Code
to make it read: Cali marriages be-
tween X any two persons
nearer of kin than second cousins X
X shall be void" Mr.. Foy
is the author of this bill.
A bill by Mr.. Fuller, of Durham,
makes it unlawful for any person to
sell liquor to an IDIOT or lunatic, as
we'll as a minor. It is amendatOry
of section 1877 Of the Code, which
prohibits liquor dealers to sell to per-
sons under 81 years of age. Mr.. Full
ler's bill would prohibit anyone,
dealer or not, to sell to minors, idiots
and lunatics.
Another bill to divide the school
fund between the races according to
taxes, was introduced. This one was
by Mr.. Stubs, of Martin.
SENATE.
There was little of interest going on
in the Senate yesterday. There was
the grind, grind of bills introduced,
messages from the House, petitions,
second and third readings.
Senator Webb put in a bill that
was sent on to the judiciary Com
nlfttee. It is to break up the ''talkee,
taIkee, too much talkee" of the law
yers in court. Mr.. Webb proposes
that the judge of each court shall
bzfl le The laWyers' tong9es = y and allow
only q given tfff1e Tor afgufment.
The schedule he presents is this:
Time unlimited in capital cases; in
misdemeanors not less than one hour
to each side; in all other cases not
less than three hours to side. What
the Judiciary Committee all law
yers-will say to this bill is story
for another day.
The Fuller bill for the building Of
union depots by two or more rail-
roads, came over from the House. It
was read by its caption, "House Bill
SO, Senate Bill 23O. To amend chap
ter 165, Public Laws Of 1S99." Very
few, if any, noticed that this was the
Fuller bill It was referred to the
Committee on Railroads, but was
not considered or discussed by that
committee yesterday afternoon. 1t
will probably be taken up in COM
mittee to-day, and then the next
day will come the debate in the Sen
ate.

WHITE HOUSE INCIDENT.
Presidential Explanation That Does
Not Explain.

Not Explain.
dent is very much worried because
of the criticism that has resulted from
the introduction of social equality at
the judicial reception at the White
House Thursday. In fact Mr.. Roose-
velt expressed in emphatic measures
his displeasure of these criticisms
this morning to newspaper men and
he has caused to be sent out by the
press associations an official explana-
fails to understand why any one
should have taken offense by reason
of the presence of negro men and
women at the White House recep-
ton. AS a result the organs of the
administration in the north and Re-
publican papers generally are busy
endeavoring to offer an explanation
that will explain.
The official White House "expla-
nation," which the president direct
ed to be given out this morning, is
that invitations have always been is
sued to negro Office holders in Wash
ington to attend state receptions and
that the negroes have been treated in
all respects in the same manner as
white officials of the government.
Register Lyons of the treasury is
quoted as saying that he has attend
ed these receptions for several years.
One of the official versions of the
White House explanation goes on to
say: "These officials appear to be
at a loss to understand why the incl
dent of last Thursday evening should
have attracted unusual attention,
much less have caused criticism Of
1reside lent. ,'
nearly all his callers to-day about
this latest phase of the race contro-
versy. He made no apologies for
having invited the negroes to the re-
ception, but he did tell several per-
sons that it was strictly in accordance
with an old custom that the negro
office holders and their families were
included in the list of those to whom
the formal engraved invitations were
to be sent.
The "oficial explanation" fails to
cite precedent for the attendance of
single negro woman at state re-
ception. This fact does not seem to
have impressed the president, but it
did impress the Southern delegation
at the White House last Thursday
night, nearly all of whom left III a
state of indignation. One Of the ad-
ministration organs, which is i'm
pressed with the presidents explana-
ton, refers to the incident as ga tenn
pest in teapot"

 In the south not more than 8 per cent were lynched for criminal assault, and in the west not more than 43 per cent were for murder. The remaining percentages cover nearly all the crimes in the calendar. A goodly number of innocent persons were lynched, but the percentage Of such persons cannot be accurately stated.
 The theory of all lynehers who think at all-who are not seeking amusement or excitement from the humdrum of rural life-is this, Let a past crime Lo met with a present crime to prevent a future crime" This theory is fading away before speedier trials and public education The educational agencies of the country will finally abolish all lynchings. Laws passed for the pur. pose of suppressing lynching have gen. orally been failures, and the chief de. pendence must continue to be found in education.

DANGER OF PNEUMONIA.

From the Chicago Record-Herald
 Last week pneumonia attained unusual pre-eminence among life-destroying dis eases in Chicago The victims to 1t num- bered 16S, as against 133 in the preceding week and 1o1 in the corresponding week a year ago.
 Unreasonable weather conditions are held directly responsible by the health de- psrtment. Last week the mean tempera- ture was but little higher than the mean temperature for the month of March. The raw. chill winds lessened the chances of recovery for those who were sick. and stored up the seeds of further sickness among those who were exposed.
 Even if the weather now changes for the better there is need for close obedi- ence to the advice of the department for several weeks to come. Avoid unnecessary exposure. At the first symptoms of dis ease call a good doctor. Isolate the sick and disinfect all discharges from their threats. Only by strict attention to these rules can the high death rate be re- duced

PARABLE OF A PIG.
A Story Bearing on Rather Delicate
 Subject.

 From the New York Mail and Express.
 "On my way north" said Booker T. Washington recently a southern gen. tleman asked me, when I made a speech, to prove to the northerners that they were responsible for the introduction of slavery into the American colonies. I told him it was a pretty big contract. and I didn't think I could undertake it, but I will tell a story that bears upon the subject.
 An old colored man had a pig, which he sold one morning to a white man for $3. The white man drove off with lis purchase, but on the road the pig es- capped and found it's way back to Uncle Zekes cabin. A little later another white man came along, and Uncle Zeke sold him the same pig for another sS. On his way home with the pig the second pur- chaser encountered the first returning in search of the escaped animal. After some wrangling they decided to go back and refer the question to the old darkey
 "'Uncle Zeke.' said No 1. didn't you sell me this pig at g o'clock this morn- ingT 'Sho' I did. massa.' But. Uncle zeke,' said No. ?, didn't I pay you 8 for this pig at 12 oclock?' 'Sho' you did. massa.' Well. then, who does the pig belong to-? 'Sakes alive said Uncle Zeke, cant you white folks settle dat ques- ton between yo'selves?

Boom in Theatre PuiIding

The New York Herald shows that there are 2188 theatres in this country. New York leads the list with 230, and Pennsylvania has 162; Ohio, 151; Hi. nois, 105, and Missouri, 1O1 These are the leading theatrical states. Ala bama has but 20 theatres; Georgia, 31; Mississippi, 23; Tennessee, 30, and Florida, IS.
 As rule theatres in all parts of the country are prosperous, full houses being frequent, and this is leading to a great boom in theatre building. It is estimated that the theatres now in course of construction will cost S1S,- 000,000. In New York city thirteen theatres are going np. and their total cost will be S8,5OO,0O Boston, Pitts burg, Cincinnati and Menominee. Mich. are each to have a million-dollar the- atre, and theatres to cost half mil. lion each are in process of construc- tion in Los Angeles, Boston and San Francisco. At least twenty other cities are to have theatres costing $1OO,Oo0 or over.
 In these new houses of amusement there will be ample facilities for pro- ducing new effects on the stage, and every appointment which makes for the comfort of patrons, including seats, entrances, exits, lighting and acoustic properties, will be studied Larger and finer buildings presumably call for better acting and better plays, and alto gether the dramatic art may be said to be looking up.

LOWELL'S OLD MACHINERY
 WAS CAUSE OF WEAKNEy

apparent condition. whenever on
 demonstrated superiority appears.
 bearing of this on the cause of the Les
 strikers is apparent. Those manufaet
 ing districts where the most modern
 the best machinery is in use pay the be wages-and the best dividends as wei those where the old machinery remain pay the poorest. and their managementl assert and probably with entire truth. that they cannot afford to pay more. Their competitors. better equipped, are able to undersell them, and, at the same time, to pay larger wages. That Is why the Lowell strike which promises at this writing to be long test of endurance. seems to many observers to be predoomed to failure. It is supported generously, even lavishly by cotton mill operatives all over New England; but their contest is being fought, not so much against the present Lowell mill management as against conditions which are the out growth of years. New England's cotton industry, 1t is plain, has no future ex- cept in the production of the best goods by the best machinery operated by the best workmen. Lowelrs strike is only one of many object lessons in that direction.
