BALL GAME ON MONDAY.
a. & Nj. College TO Start Season With
Game With Trinity Park
High School.

The baseball season will be opened
in Raleigh on Monday with q game
between the two mines of the A. & M.
College and the Trinity Park High
School. The local players expect and
will doubtless win by a good margin.
but are assured of an interesting strug-
gle from the 'sprinklers.'
The A. & NJ. nine this season, while
perhaps not as strong in stars as it
was several years ago, is said to be a
well balanced and effective combina-
ton. The box is new but strong and
there has been especial stress laid on
hard hitting, the thing which wins
games. The seasons schedule is a
very good one. a number of the larger
Northern colleges being slated for
dates in Raleigh and two games to be
played with the University on the To-
cal grounds.
The games, including that of next
Monday, will be played on the Fair
Ground field, as the only available
place in the absence of good college
or city grounds.

ACADEM OF MUSIC.
Thomas jefferson, Friday Evening
March 10.

The most notable theatrical event OF
the season is the appearance of Mr..
Thomas Jefferson in RIP Van Win
kle."
Mr.. Jefferson's performance is q
charming as is his famous fathers IN
the same character
There are few plays that possess the
enduring qualities of RIP Van Win
kle." The name of Jefferson has al
most made the famous character Of
RIP Van Wrinkle a classic on the
American stage It's story is almost
as familiar as household word, but
the Rip Van Wrinkle of Washington
Irving's tale is only dim shadow
compared with the ripe-rounded Sc
rene humanity of the character of Mr..
Jefferson portrays it. He has the ex-
quisite air of bringing out all the low
able qualities of the old vagabond, and
making his audience thipk his poor,
Woodworking wife the sinner, instead
of the graceless Rip. TO enjoy the le-
gend of the Hudson we must view il
as we did the fairy tales of our youth,
and not be too practical and judge 1t
by our standard of morality of today.
The weird experience of Rip in the
mountains, and the communion he
holds with the COLLINS that are sup
posed to hold high revel in the depth
OF the hills at certain periods, places
the character of Rip on a sort of SUI
pern2tural pinnacle and we feel that
1t is a sort of sacrilege to judge him
as we do more practical mortals.

The interchangeable Graham.

Speaking of Judge Graham, of OK
ford, yesterday, a gentleman who has
for forty years closely followed the
course of the different legislatures,
stated that in his opinion that gentle
man had set a new standard for care
full, able and unsparing attention TO
his duties as member of the General
Assembly. A member of a number of
the most important committees. said
he, not alone every measure which
was of distinctive importance received
his most careful study and considera-
ton, but after his unceasing commit
tee labors, he sat like a Watchdog in
the sessions of the house, his faculties
alert and his sword always ready to
defend what seemed to him the right
and for the best interests Of the State,
He and l differed on many things
said this gentleman, but / think his
course in the Legislature has been a
notable one. For an absolute surren-
der of himself to what he esteemed
his duty, / do not believe il has had a
parallel. He was simply indefatigable,
and at the end. when mis- work was
done, the sickness that overlook him
was. I believe, entirely the result Of
his unsparing labor

SMOOTHLY MAIL SERVICE.

MAYORS COURT REVIVAL.
Cross-Eyed Roxy Waits While Her
Lover Rails Her Out and Two
Black SWANS Pay for a OAR
ling Fight.

Mayors Court stretched itself yes
terday and yawned with half interest
at the meandering in of lazy-Jointed,
black and cross-eyed Roxy Hinton,
who viewed the court with dispas-
sionate ennui which waited develop
ments with an ease born of long prac-
tice.
Roxy is an artist at the game of be-
ing a prisoner and keeps a face which
is not alone devoid of bushes but,
for the most part of expression. 1t is
only when the tale of q witness is
finished that Roxy throws the chill
of her criss-crosS eye in the indefinite
direction of her vision, focuses the
blood-shot point of the eye-ball on
the ceiling, throws back her head and
gives a sniff of contempt which
shakes the number of her closely
plated kinks, and looks the charge
of perjury in every line of her
weather. beaten countenance. 1t is a
callous witness indeed, who can view
Roxy >and her hate unmoved. Most
of them stink off to the back of the
room, shuddering with the vague
quality of their fear.
AS Roxy never deigns to reply and
her crimes are as frank as her gaze
is crooked her appearance is ever
the prelude to a sentence and yester-
day was no exception. At first the
Mayor said thirty days, and consterna-
ton reigned, not in the breast of the
scornful Roxy but in that of her true
love who was anxiously on hand This
specimen of color pleaded so persist
entity that the sentence came down to
a fine and the swain in black fastened

TO FIX BUILDING SITE.
Committee Appointed to Determine on
Plans OF New Laboratory at Uni
versity-Trustees Meeting.

A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the State University was held
Yesterday in the Governors office,
Governor Glenn presiding. Those
present were Governor Glenn, Messrs.
Thomas S. Kenan, Richard H. Battle,
DR.. II. H Lewis, Claudius Dockery
and Josephus Daniels.
President Venable came down from
Chapel Hill to attend the meeting. Ha
was greatly gratifed at the liberal APP
preparation made to the University,
both because the institution needed
very much the new building and be-
cause the unanimity with which the
Legislature voted the increased appro-
priation shows that the University has
grown in the regard Of the people of
North Carolina.
1t was decided to press at once the
work on the new Biological Labora-
tory, for which the Legislature appro-
priated $4,000. A comittee composed
of President Venable, Col. Thomas S.
Kenan, DR.. r. H. Lewis, Prof. Alexan-
der and Prof. Gore was appointed as
a building committee. They will meet
in Chapel Hill this week, decide upon
the location, get the plans, and press
the work so as to have the new build
ing finished and equipped by the time
the fall session opens. The construc-
ton of this new building will give the
old Chemical Building to the medical
department sadly in need of suitable
quarters.
A gentleman, in another State, who
prefers that his name be not publish
ed, contributes $100 a year for ten
years for a fellowship in chemistry
He was led to do this because of his
high estimate of the Chemical Depart
ment of the University, derived in part
from having in his eploy in an i'm
portant position a University graduate
in chemistry. That compliment is one
that is duly appreciated and letter
of thanks will be sent to the generous
| donor.
At former meeting a resolution was
adopted to appoint a committee to
| consider the suggestion made to move
| the Law Department to Raleigh. Upon
| that committee the Governor appoint
ed Messrs. F. II. Busbee, James S
} Manning and r. A Doughton 1t is
understood that President VenabIe
Judge MacRae and faculty oppose the
removal, and the mover Of the reso-
luton stated that he was not committed
! to the removal but would like to have
| the suggestion considered. The com
mittee will make their report in 1906
| other matters of detail We're trans
acted.
After the meeting the Governor an
nounced that he would name as the
| Visiting Committee this year Messrs
| A. w. Haywood, of Alamance; John
| Sprunt Hill, of Durham; and George
| Stephens, of Mecklenburg. They will
visit the University next month and
make their report at commencement
The outlook for a great commence
ment is good. Governor Glenn will
be present two days as the guest OF
President Venable.

E. w. pou, Congressman from this

a Times reporter, said
"Of course 1 am gratified that my
bill is now a law and / appreciate very
much the expressions of gratitude
which l have received from the mo-
tormen of this city.
Next winter we will not be forced
to see these men standing at their
posts of duty in the freezing rains
and the cutting winds.
ST wish to acknowledge the assist
ance of Chairman Babcock and Mr..
Sims, of the House District Commit
tee and Senators Gallinger and Sim
mons, of the Senate District Commit
tee.
"The motorman occupies the most
important position in the entire street
car service, and he should be made as
comfortable as possible in the per-
Torrance of his difficult duties.
II am informed that the passage of
nv bill may have a favorable effect
upon legislation of this character
pending before the Legislatures of
some of the States. I shall feel that
/ am fortunate, indeed, if in any de-
gree my bill is instrumental in in
fiuencing legislation of the same char
acter outside of the District of Column
bia,
Il cannot understand how anyone
can dispute the necessity for this leg
islation in States where street car
companies are forcing their men to
operate their cars on open platforms
unprotected from inclement weather.
such practice, in my judgment,
is nothing less than cruel.
THE Times is to be congratulated
upon the position it has taken re-
specting this legislation.
