GOTH ANNIVERSARY
OF HIS BIRTHDAY
Prof. w. A. Pitzer Of the Burke Street
School Delightfully."- Surprised
On Saturday.
From The World Of Monday:

From The World OF Monday:
Last Saturday, February 10 being
the Goth anniversary of the birth of
the genial and popular principal OF
the Burke street school, Mr.. w. A.
Pitzer, his wife planned a successful
surprise to her husband by inviting
a small number of his friends and CO
workers to spend the evening at their
pleasant home. 326 West King street.
About s D.. M. Mr.. Pitzer was called
up by a friend at his Office down town
who desired to see him at once on inn
portant business, He could not
imagine, of course, what vas OF so
great momen as 10 demand his
presence at this untimely hour, but as
his friend had never deceived him In
anything, he promptly responded.
During his absence, of half an hour
his friends had gathered at his home,
and he was summoned to come home
at once as Mr.. Siler was there and
and wanted to see him Immediately.
wanted to see him Immediately. Has
tening back at his usual quick step,
he was met in the hall by his charm
ing wife, who unceremoniously usher
ed him into the parlor to be greeted
by the following gentlemen: Supt-
w. C. Morton and Prin. NJ. l.. Wacn-
tel, of the High School. Prof. G. P. c.
Rinker, proprietor of Rinker's Bust
ness College, and Principals Lee Siler,
C. w. Miller and d. H. Dodd of the
ward schools.
The surprise was complete in ey-
cry detail and was followed by a most
enjoyable time. At 10 o'clock refresh
ments in abundance were served, con-
sisting of homemade cakes that in
quality could not be surpassed, ice
cream nuts, candies, wine, chocolate,
southern fruits, etc.
The host was the recipient of some
nice presents and the rest of the even
ing was spent in social chat, smoking,
joking, story telling, and in relating
past experiences.
Both host and hostess were at their
best, and though the former has
reached his three-score years, he is
fresh and vigorous as a man OF forty,
and bids fair 10 spend another o
and a half on this earth in useful
toll.
Mr.. Pitzer began teaching at the
age of 81 years. and has been almost
continuously engaged in this useful
profession until now His pupils
number many hundreds and some
have become parents and not a few
grandparents.

NEGRO ROBBED
A HEN HOUSE
Man Arrested Him But Got Hard
Punch In the Eye-Thief Finally
Landed In Jail.
From The World of Monday;

From The World OF Monday:
Saturday evening shortly after six
O'Clock folks heard a commotion in
the hennery of Mr.. Theodore Buser on
South Raleigh street, and Mr.. Charles
Taylor, who boards with the Buser
family. went down to the chicken
house to see about Just then VIII
liam Gam, a colored fellow, came out
with four fine fowls and would have
made off with them but FOR the inter-
ference of Mr.. Taylor who, assuming
the dignity and responsibility OF an
officer, proceeded to arrest the color
ed fellow and take him to the jail
nearby. But the latter resented this
summary act and, dropping the chick
ems, landed a heavy blow in Mr., Tay-
lor's eye and then ran away.
Deputy Sheriff Walter K~ettering
followed the fellow TO the Smith
commisary store at the corner of
South Queen and John streets. While
the deputy went in the store to arrest
him Officer Hough and Constable Wild
stood guard outside to see that the
negro didn't get away.
Gam was taken to Jail TO await a
hearing before Justice Felker, while
Mr.. Taylor is nursing a sore eye as
the result of his experience as a self
constituted officer.
