MISS WILKES Loss.
Articles Dear Through Association
and Which Money Cannot

Miss Harriet G. Wilkes loss at the
fire at Fuquay Springs appears to have
been much heavier than was stated.
All of her clothing and personal eff
fects were destroyed and many arti-
cIes possessing through associations,
a value beyond price. Writing to a
friend of her loss she says with the
simplicity of an unconscious pathos:
II can count on my fingers
the little that was saved. l lost furni-
ture from my old home, all my library,
over ninety framed pictures, many of

many valuable hints on the selection
Of proper plants for this latitude.

urged that it was necessary that each
householder should look after the con-
dition of the sidewalk in front of his
residence. The ladies in discussing
the matter spoke of paper on the
streets and urge that in each home
this be burned in place of letting it
blow from place to place.

A MAsTERLY RETREAT.
It Appears That Kuropatl1in May
Bring His Army Through.

(By, the Associated Press.
ST. Petersburg, March 12.-(Sun-

army in the Far East and its line of
retreat is not cut Field Marshal
Oyamas trap again was sprung too

General Kuropatkin himself with
the rear guard was reported Saturday
afternoon in the vicinity of Syanzyasa,
25 miles below Tie Pass, having ac-
complished some fifteen miles of his
retreat and being already beyond the
jaws of the trap as originally set.
Both General Kuropatkin's official
dispatch and that of the Associated
Press from Tie Pass were filed Satur-
day afternoon. The news contained in
these dispatches will cause unbounded
relief in st. Petersburg. A long days

complished, but the retreat now pre-

believed to be largely of the question

AT THE ACADEMY.
"The Volunteer Organist' and "T'he
Player Maid This Weeks
PLAYS.

Much interest is attached to the
forthcoming production of ''The Vol
unteer Organist," which will be seen
at the Academy of Music, Thursday
March 10th.
The play is of the pastoral order
and is an idyll in it's way. The story
of the drama is simple, and is blend
ed with genuine comedy and excep-
tional pathos. Advance criticisms pf
the show speak in glowing terms OF
the cast and scenic effects. There is
not dull moment throughout the
play, and the plot is never permitted
to lag. The story it tells is of every
day people in a New England hill
town, with the common touches OF
sentiment and humor. and the sermon
it breaches is the good old sermon
on temperance in physical indulgence
and liberality. in religion.
Among the special features are the
singing of popular favofites like 1.-THE
Holy CITY, with special scenic effects
by Master William Nelson, q boy So
prano, and the introduction of two
handsome st. Bernard dogs in a life
saving act.
Four distinct massive sets of seen
cry are carried by the company, to-
gether with every electrical device
known that could possibly enhance
the beauty of the piece. 1t is a great
performance if the critics are to be
believed.
''The Player Maid.'
''The Player Maid,'' by Louise NAL
10y, in which Miss Florence Davis
supported by Elliott Dexter, is star
ring, is a romantic comedy of 1850
the heroine being a young actress OF
Drury Lane Theatre at the period OF
David Garrick's management of that
house. The action is mainly on the
comedy order with just a touch OF
the serious and emotional to heighten
the effect of the humor and give prop
er contrast.
The plot revolves about the resolve
of the young actress, half jest, half
earnest, to punish by clever trick a
young nobleman of the gay society OF
London for a fancied slight to her
charms and the subsequent entangle-
ment and threatened serious turn OF
her madcaD frolic. The role is one
which gives a great deal of variety
In the acting, and has an air of
quaintness about the whole. together
with an interesting story. The period
and action of the play give chance for
picturesqueness in the costumes and
the setting and for interest in the
historical personages presented.
The coming of 1.-The Player Maid"
to this city, should prove one of the
most interesting events of the dra-
matte season. 1t is to be seen here
next Friday night and Miss Davis, a
niece of Jefferson Davis, is said to be
bewitchingly beautiful.

was heartily encored and enjoyed by
all.
The following are the words of the
class song:
Glass of 1905.
There is a Glass
At B. q.
A famous class,
1t is true.
They're not too tall,
They know it ALL
They're not too small,
No, not at all,
This famous famous Glass of 1905.
They know the verbs
And the herbs.
They parlez-vous,
Speak Deutsche too.
They play like magic,
Like Beethoven.
Do the tragic
Elocution.
And they sing, they sing just like the
crows.
They wear their hair
High in the air.
Paint pictures fine,
Know kings in line.
They say that Math.
Is an easy path,
That's not true
If they do!
This famous, famous class of 1905.
Refrain.-Long live the Glass of
1905.
The work of the individual vocal
students was of high order of merit.
They all acquitted themselves credit
ably, singing with well placed voices
and excellent method.
The work of the students reflects
great credit on Miss Hopkins and
proves her to be voice teacher of
great ability.
Two instrumental numbers were
given by pupils of Miss Decker and
Mr.. Brown. They both played with
ease and gave an intelligent interpre-
tation of their numbers.
The last verse of the closing GIee
Club number was as follows:
There is town in brave N. c.,
'Tis called by the name of Raleigh,
There's one and only lack.
'Tis trolley cars and track,
And every maid and man
VIII move if he can
Into Raleigh.
Raleighs the town
