Territory. In Kansas the whites
and negroes attend the same schools
In the Quay statehood bill there IS
a provision which prohibits the dis
franchisement of the negro for lack
of educational qualifications and
this provision has been endorsed by
the republicans Of Indian Territory
and Oklahoma. Some seem to see
in this 2 tendency to drift into
mixed schools. Solargely has this
impression prevailed that demo
cratic clubs over the territory have
commenced to pass resolutions
against it. The sentiment here
would be very strong against such
a mose and were it forced upon the
people there would be trouble
When questioned 81 this peirt
today Mr.. Benedict stated that he
thought there could never be mixed
schools in gse territory; that the
sentiment OF the people would moi
permit it and that he believed there
would never be an attempt made tC
that end.
At the conference today it wa
ordered that circulars be sent t

Muskogee. I. T.. May John

schools in the Indian Territory has
been in conference with all the
supervisors Of schools in the diffe-
rent nations today, discussing plans
for the disbursement Of SIoo, 900

agreed upon today was that most
Of sae money should be paid into

to building school houses and max
ing improvements in buildings
Another matter that IS being dis
cussed is whether the negroes shall
share in the benefit of the appro'
sriation. Mr.. Benedict is of the
ouinion that the couverence vii
agree that a certain per cent Of the
money shall be expended for th'
nOn-citizen negroes, who now arr
totally without schools.

(Bv Home Missionary Worker
Our Lord did not say for us to
begin working for him tomorrow,
nor next week, but now.
If we ever intend to work for
God and the uplifting Of our fell
low men let us begin now.
Let US first pray TO God for his
blessing and consecrate our lives
anew to his service for without this
our work would be in vain.
Then work for the glory Of God
aud not our own glory, and he will
reward the effort. Let us examine
our hearts. Do we love God well
enough 10 do anything for him.
To be a peculiar people known Of
all men1
Are we willing to work in the
Sabbath school!
Are we willing to attend and help
in the weekly prayer services?
Are we ready and anxious to
visit the most humble as well as
the most degraded to help them to
Christ?
Our Savior made no distinctions.
Are we better than he2
Now is the accepted time.
Let us arise today and shake off
this lethargy and indifference and
help do something to help those
that are actually starving, as it
were, for the gospel and kind words
perhaps within the reach Of one
voice.
We may not see immediate re-
suits of our labors, but we must

We can at least give kind words

A WOMAN s BODY
FOUND
Mrs. Edward Ray Believed
to Have Killed Herself
Autopsy Failed to Reveal the Cause
of Death, and No Marks of Vio-
Ience Were Found on
the Body.

Charlotte, n. c., March 6.-The dead
body of Mrs. Edward Ray, a member of
a prominent family of this city, and for
merly a resident of New Orleans, was
found in Vance Park, this city, this morn
ing at o'cl,ck, and it is believed that
she committed suicide
A negro laborer on his way to work saw
a dark object lying between two hedges
of underground and informed the police.
The officers went to the scene, and there,
lying at full length, found the body of
Mrs. Ray.
A purse containing few dollars and an
unsealed note were found in her clothes.
The note was addressed to a relative in
Texas, and in it Mrs. Ray stated that she
was very unhappy and had been so since
the death of her husband in New Orleans
about ten years. She claimed that her
residence in North Carolina had brought
only sorrow to her, and at times she felt
as if the whole world had turned against
her.
There was no reference to self-destruc-
tion in the note, but her family states
that she had been very respondent for
some time and that on one occasion not
many weeks ago she attempted suicide
and would have succeeded had it not been
for the prompt interference of one of the
servants.
An autopsy failed to reveal the cause OF
death. There were no marks of violence
on the body.
Mrs Ray was a Miss Dewey before
marriage, and was one of the most popu
lar women of the State. Her husband
Edward Ray, died of yellow fever in New
Orleans ten or twelve years ago. Her sis
ter is the wife of Judge F. l. Osborn
member of the Court of Private Land
Claims of the United States Mrs. Ray
is survived by two daughters, Misses
Lacy and Katherine Ray, both well
known throughout the South.

Sensational Scene When One of the

Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Asheville, N. c., March There was a
large audience at the Grand Opera House
Saturday night to witness the minstrel
performance of the Haverly Mastodon
show, but during the performance an un-
usual occurrence took place that 1t is
doubtful if one half the audience dropped
to-
In one of the boxes a party of four
young men of the social set, or what is
generally termed the -Four Hundred
had assembled to enjoy themselves The
party had been drinking somewhat, and
especially one of the members, Barnes
Compton. During the first part of the
minstrel champagne flowed freely, and
one accustomed to the sound could even
hear the popping of cork from the bot
tie. During the skating stunt of Marcus
and Gartelle, Compton began to guy"
the performers and to throw quarters and
corks onto the stage. One of the skaters,
Marcus, rolled to the box and was seen
to speak to Compton but he spoke in
such low tone that the words were not
audible to the audience 1t is said by
those who did hear, however, that Mar
Gus gave the young man a good sound
"cussing"
Shortly after this incident Patrolman
Page, of the city police force, went into
the box occupied by the quartet and told
them that they must hehave-that drink
ing in the playhouse was prohibited by
the management and that they must de-
sst. They assured the patrolman that
they would "be good" and the officer
left thinking that with this warning all
would pass off smoothly.
But not so. After remaining quiet for
short time, and when Garden and Sum-
mers were playing xylophones, Compton
arose from his seat, and staggering out of
the box, went on the stage, and to the
astonishment of Gardner, wrenched the
stick from his hand. The performer
was so astonished that he never attempt
ed to resist By the time Gardner had
gotten his dazed wits together the officer
! laid his hand on Compton's shoulder and
told him that he was under arrest. The
man resisted, but the strength of the of
fcer was too much for the intoxicated
man ard the offender was soon hustled
off the stage and into the wings. A num-
Der of ushers and Sheriff Reed went be
hind the scenes and upon the promise Of
his companions to take care of Compton
the man was released after bond for
his appearance in court had been put UP.
The incident created considerable talk
on the streets and the manner in which
young Compton acted has been severely
criticised. The management of the theatre
said that the party would have been made
to leave the house before the climax"
was reached but fer the fear of disturbing
the audience.
