STRoLLING MINSTRELS.

Masquerades Christmas.

West India Negroes Have Music ana
Mssauerades Christmas.
Christmas In the West Indies Is a
very jovial. rollicking affair, at least
In the estimation Of the negroes. The
great feature OF the season is the Sc
ries Of masQuerades or mystery plays
enacted by strolling negro performers.
These are Of two sorts, representa-
tions OF such Biblical stories as that Of
David and Goliath, when you may see
the jolly actors clad In such historical
ly accurate garments as 'bedtick'
trousers and cretonne coats Of flaming
patterns, and those Of a purely local
character. OF these last is the mon
goose play, which Is peculiar to st.
kits and the object Of which is to
wage mimic war against the destruc-
tive pest which Is the curse Of the Is
land. These strolling players are the
chief feature OF Christmas t'lebra-
lions.
They are quite an imposing lot of
men, with good ear for music. and
as you watch their autics you might
easily imagine that instead Of being in
civilized British colony you were
back In the heart Of Africa, assisting
at some savage death dance or other
heather rite.-Detroit Free Press.

II has a far more valid reason for
hypnotlzing the boy than this. The
greatest charm OF the blacksmith shop,
both for the young and for grown
folk, lies In the fact that, while II is
place where handicraft rules. both
hand and brain are required to produce
the desired results. II Is both an art

POPULAR PHYSICIAN LEAVES.
DIR. Joseph Graham Goes to Durham
to- Practice His Profession.

Raleigh will learn with regret that
DR.. Joseph Graham is to leave this city
and go to Durham to engage in the
practice of his profession, being asso-
Ciated there with DR.. John Manning
and DR.. w. A. Graham.
DR.. Joseph Graham has proven a
most capable surgeon and physician
during his stay in Raleigh. He came
with a high reputation and has added
to this. Not alone has he proven a
good physician, but a good citizen DIS
well, measuring up with the ablest
of the young men of Raleigh. His i'll
telligent work as member of the
committee having i'm charge the milk
question was for the good of Raleigh,
and his services at Rex Hospital were
Of value.
Energetic, talented, skilled and
young, of most pleasant address, he
has won a warm place here. and his
personality and ability will make him
a success in Durham. His going takes
from Raleigh also Mrs. Joseph Ora
ham, who has with her husband
proved valuable addition to Raleigh
social life, both taking an active part
i'm society life and deeds of charity.
Deeply Raleigh regrets their depar-
ture, for they leaves this week. and
wishes for them a full measure of sue
cess and happiness.

GREATER PRESSURE POLICEMEN OUT "A BOY KIDNAPPED
Raleigh Officers Resign
With Investigation On.
Capt. R. ]. Conrad and Officer John R.
Banks, Surrender Their Positions.
Police Committee and Mayor
investigating Charge.

The designations of two of Raleigh s
police officers were rendered to Mayor
Johnson last night, and these will be
presented to the Board of Aldermen
on Friday night.
The officers who resigned are Cap
tain r. j. Conrad and Officer John r..
Banks. Capt. Conrad has been on the
force for many years, having been
there during the term of office Of
Mayor Russ. Officer Banks served a
number of years, and both were re-
garded as capable and efficient men.
The trouble which eliminated in the
resignation of the two members of the
force is stated by Mayor Johnson to
date back to the seventh of August
when Mesrs. Conrad and Banks were
on a furlough. AS the result of events
on that day Mayor Johnson last night
stated that he and the Police Com
mittee had been for some days inves-
tigating charges of drunkenness and
disOrderly conduct, and that after this
investigation yesterday afternoon he
had sent for the two officers to inform
them of the action for suspension he
had taken pending the meeting of the
Board.
Before this took place, however,
Mayor Johnson received two letters,
men. These letters were the reSignd-
tons of Capt. Conrad and Officer
Banks, who simply stated that they re-
signed their positions, this to take eff
feet at once, and in conclusion thank
cd the Board for past courtesies. the
designations are in Mayor JohnSon'3
hands. Messrs Conrad and Banks are
not on duty, and the Board of Alder
men will act on the designations on
Friday night.
The election of officers and mem
bers of the police force takes place IN
October, and until then, so Mayor
Johnson stated, there will hardly be
an election, the places being filled tenn
porarily by substitutes.
The friends of both of the officers
who have resigned regret very much
that causes arose which led to thls.
Both men have been rated as good OIL
ficers, and the unfortunate result is to
be deplored.

Would it Be Inhuman to
Execute Moore?
Governor Glenn Puts This Question to
Reputable and Expert Citizens, and
Unless il is Answered in The AT.
firmative Criminal Will Hang.

Mr.. Fowler, of Clinton representing
Sampson county rapist has made a re-
newed and determined effort to secure
Communication of the death sentence
of his client. Yesterday the Governor
received a letter from Mr.. Fowler,
representing to him that Moore was a
man of prlmeval disposition, debased
ideas, beastly habits. and of such low
intellect as to make it inhuman to SUBJ
ject him to the severe penalty of hang.
ing, even considering the horriblenes5
of his atrocious crime. and that a men
tally sound person in his circumstances
would deserve nothing less than the
execution of such a sentence as was
passed upon Moore.
Several days ago Governor Glenn
was determined not to interfere with
the courts sentence, as the priSonef
had received a fair and impartial trial
and was convicted of this most heinous
offense, but his counsel did not appeal
to the Supreme court. The trial judge
and solicitor had refused to recon-
mend executive clemency, and only on
Tuesday was this received. The mat
ter was presented to the Governor
several weeks ago, the prisoner having
been sentenced at the May term of
Sampson county criminal court In
order to investigate the case thor
oughly, the Governor respited Moore
until September End, and the respite
has not yet been heightened.
The Governor informed Mr. Fowler
that in this case. being for the capital
offcnSe of rape, he would by no means
commute Moore's sentence, unless
three reputable physicians would certi-
fly on their reputation as physicians
that Moore at the time of committing
this offense was incapable of knowing
that he was committing a serious
crime. No physician would state this
when the matter was previously pre-
sentcd to the counsel to secure such
certificates from physicians. Severa!
physicians stated, however, that Moore
was not bright man, with much
reason, but they could not say he was
crazy, or did not know what he was
doing.
Governor Glenn wired Mr.. George
l.. Peterson, of Clinton, who is inves-
tigating the case there for him, that
Moore. being legally convicted of
rape, unless three reputable expert
physicians will certify that the pris-
}ner's mind is too weak to know right
from wrong and therefore making it
inhuman to execute him, will not re-
ceive clemency from him. and he in
structed Mr.. Peterson to notify Messrs.
Fowler and Graham, counsel of Moore,
to the effect of his telegram.

Raleigh Youth Stolen,
Spirited to Norfolk
Edward Price Told the Police that His
Home was in this City, and that
He was Taken TO Norfolk by
Henry Dunlop.

The Norfolk papers related the kid
mapping of an eight-year-old Raleigh
boy, who was found by the police OF
that city wandering in the streets al
night shelterless, and hungry. The
boy gave his name as Edward Price.
and was familiar with this city. His
declaration was that he had been Kid
mapped from here and carried to Nor
folk.
He was taken to the police station
of Norfolk and questioned and gave
the name of Henry Dunlop" as his
captor.
The statement young Price made to
the captain of police of Norfolk is as
follows:
Henry Dunlop brought me to Nor
folk. / met him in Front street, near
the market, this morning. That's in
Raleigh, North Carolina. | was on my
way to East Lenoir street to buy some
medicine for a white lady. | had ten
cents and Henry took it away from
me- Then he said: You're going
along with me- / didn't want to go,
but he dragged me to the station and
took me on the train and paid his fare
and mine. too. to Portsmouth. And
when we got there he didn't buy any
dinner for me, but he got ferry ticket
and sent me over here. And here |
am"
A Norfolk paper says:
This Is about as far as Edwards
mental vision enables him to see into
the situation. He appeared to be an
intelligent youngster. and no amount
of cross questions brought any devia-
ton of the tale He said Dunlop did
nothing to him beyond divesting him
of the dime which had been given him
to buy medicine. He didn't know the
name of the lady he was running the
errand for. His mother takes in wash
ing Dead" he responded when asked
about his father.
There is a sister who lives in Nor
folk, somewhere and the police know
of her, but said it would be better for
the boy to sleep at the station house.
1--WE heard of such cases before, v
said Patrolman Debman. THAT man
is probably trying to get back at this
boys mother on account of some
spite"
The boy will probably be brought
back to Raleigh by the mayor of Nor
folk unless his sister does it.
An examination of the city of Raj
eigh directory does not reveal the
name of Henry Dunlop.
