the evening. during which the besieged Greeks had defended themselves with firearms. They were apparently well equipped with every variety of these.
 They fired fusillade out of the win. dows. one shot hitting Charles Estroyl in the head. This scrimmage was un- doubtedly what enraged the crowd In to setting fire to the building.
 By this time the crowd had begun tc ally disperse. Chief of Police Briggs urged the crowd to so and was re- cetved with silent contempt.
 Late in the evening, William Chand- Ter and Edward Porter were arrested and sent to the station charged with disturbing the peace. Chandler was harranguing a crowd to violence and Porter was leading a crowd of hood lums.
 At II p. m. a riot call was turned in from Twenty-fifth and N Streets, where the crowd had gathered. The mob quickly fled to Twenty-fourth Street where they demolished a Greek candy store.
 All saloons have been closed.
 Three incendiary fires broke out in the Greek quarter early this morning. but the fire department put them out without serious damage. One of these nres was discovered at Twenty-S Sixth and Q Streets in a building which had been partially wrecked earlier in the night.

 Near midnight the police of South Omaha received numerous reports of assaults on foreigners. mostly Rou- manians and Italians. who have been mistaken TOT. Greeks. but none of them have proved serious.
 At o'clock this (Monday) morning the streets of both cities were comnsr, atively quiet.

RED SPRINGS REVIEWS.
A Delightful Recital - Move
ments of the People.
Correspondence of The Robesonian


Mr.. and Mrs. w. c.. Butler and
children, who had been at Hotel
Red Springs for some time past,
left Monday for Richmond, Va,
where they expect to spend the
Chritmas holidays. DIR. B. F.
Mcmillan is in Rowland this week
on professional business.
On Monday evening the stu
dents of the conservatory gave a
delightful recital. The program
was q fine one, the solos, both
vocal and instrumental, were
beautifully and sweetly rendered.
All the pupils performed we'll,
but especial mention should be
made of the organ solo by Mr..
Charles Vardell. The piece was
an opera to William Tell and Mr..
Vardell played with much tone
and feeling. In some parts the
massive pipes seemed about to
burst with the powerful volume
of exquisite harmony. A fitting
climax was the violin quartette
rendered by Misses Allie Pear
sail, Margaret Williams, Marga-
ret McNeill and Mr.. Roland
Brown. This last number was
the ever popular wedding
March of Lohengrin." The vio-
Inns were without piano accompa-
niment and the music was all the
better on this account, as the
different notes of the violins
could be heard more distinctly.
The evening was one most pleas.
antly and profitably spent by al
so fortunate as to be present
The musical faculty at the S. P.
C. could not be surpassed, al
the teachers possess talent anc
ability. That they are doing
| their work we'll was we'll testified
last evening by the skillful anc
faultless rendering of the wei
selected peices on the program

The Associated Charities of
Lumberton have now been or.
ganized for a little more than one
year. During that time we have
gone to the relief of more than
fifty families. Some of the cases
relieved were indeed pitiful.
Let me relate one or two instan-
ces:
On Christmas Eve of last year
we visited a home where the
mother was digging little scrappy
potatoes that her children might
have something to eat on Christ
mas day. This home contained
eleven children, two of whom
were in bed, father also in
bed, and the weakly moth
er was the only stay of support
of the entire family. Another
instance where an old woman
had out-ived her day and gener-
alton, possibly, who had long
been confined to he" bed and was
so neglected that bed-sores had
come on her body from which
worms were eminating.
You people of Lumberton have
relieved these instances and Civ
en- comfort to these homes, be-
sides many others of like nature.
We have expended about $3.50
for the relief of these fifty fam
lilies. We now are facing another
winter, and while the people are
generally prosperous and happy,
yet there are many homes where
dark clouds hang low, and desti.
tuition reigns. Our treasury is
empty, and / feel that the gener.
GUS hearts of the people of Lum
berton will respond quickly ano
cheerfully to these demands
made upon them. Some one vii
call on the people next week il
hehalf of this noble cause. While
many Of US are looking forward
with joyous anticipation to th'
tide, let US ever re
member those upon whom tn
hand of poverty and aff1iction lie
heavi'J, ever remembering tina
1T is more blessed to give thai
to receive. ="

A Street SpieIer Sells RazorsGa.

A man. who has had the mis-
fortune of having both his legs
sawed off about the knees blew
into town Friday and took in con-
siderable coin Of the realm by a
simple twist Of the wrist. as it
were. Employing the arts of
the accomplished spieler, he gath
cred a large crowd about him and
proposed to sell some jewelry at
various prices, by and bye giving
back to. the purchasers the mon
ey deposited with him and tell
ing them to keep the cuff but
tons, or whatever they had
bought, as a gift from him. That
was just like getting a present
from home, and when other prop
ositions were made with the
same result the knot of folks
about him became very much in
terested indeed and fell over
themselves in their haste to take
up his razor proposition - which
proved to be the last. Mr.. Spiel
er held up razors which he want
ed to exchange for one simoleon
each, and the way razors chang
ed hands for a season was a
caution. Ten, fifteen, twenty,
twenty five. thirty, thirty
nve, forty-fo!ty at least
some say twice that many
razors were exchanged for the
same number of dollars. and ther
the game was over. No more re
turn of money, no more presents
Those who stayed in the game
until the razor proposition Wa'
reached parted with their mon
ey for keeps; but they kept th'
razors all right.
