Hay Bro. yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock. Mr. Alexander Wr3bb was called to the chair and Mr. Chas.

Root acted as secretary. After expressions of the highest esteem and regard, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, It has pleased our Heavenly Father in His wise providence to remove us our esteemed friend, Pulaski Cowper, thus severing a dear friendship, which creates a void that time only can obliterate; therefore be it Resolved, That, while recognizing this It is free as the air. She has 'been the means of a miserable life turn into one of joy no other living peroi! b-such wide experience with woman's ills. Her address is Lynn, rnrnlinn are in session in the Senate chamber, the fifth annual conven tion having begun yesterday. The rotunda and Senate chamber is a scene of beauty with the display of the many handsome photographs an pictures on exhibition, some of these- in competi ticn for gold and silver medals and some merely to show the perfection of theart.

There vere over fifty delegates present yesterday morning- when President Clark of Richmond, rapped for order and introduced fMr. W. B. Snow, who was to welcome the convention to Raleigh on behalf of the Mayor of the city. Mr.

Snow performed this duty in handsome manner. His words of wel come were pictures in themselves, clean cut, clear and incisive. He extended welcome to th? otcgraphers from without and within the State, though these latter needed none, the capital city was part of their heritage. To the Vir srinians he said that as they were kins folks they were doubly welcome. Continuing- he spoke of the great ad vance in the photographic art, from the daguerreotype of days ago to the magni ficent photographs and landscapes of to dav.

and to the visible manifestations of Jthines even out of human eyesight. With their rapid improvement he said that photographs today were like Alexander, looking for new worlds to conquer. They had reached Burn's ideal and gave us the power to see ourselves as orhers "see us Here he spoke of the kindly flattery with which the photographer with his skill did away with the defects and presented handsome pictures. He tendered to the association all the joys of a hospitable city, whether there was wanted the "wet or dry'. process, and said there were "fixng agents'' which would aid them here, whether it was by "rapid or sl.w" methods.

In concluding he told of a method by which an impression made upon the hand allowed one to pass in and out of theatres. "Upon your hands," paid he, "I impress in indelible but invisible character a welcome to Raleigh. It is the great seal of our Avelcomo to you, and as you lift your hand with this upon it there shall come to you a -welcome from every heart and every home." This admirable "welcome address was replied to, briefly and pleasantly by President Clark and the association entered upon its work.

In the afternoon, at 2 o'clock there was a meeting in Wharton's studio, on Fayetteville There have been times vhen the wild beasts have been more merciful an human beings, and spared the woman cast to them in the arena. It is astonish- ing how little sympathy women "have for women. In the home the mistress sees the maid with the signs of suffering she recognizes so well, but she does not lighten' the sick girl's load by a touch of her finger. In the store the forewoman sees the pallor and exhaustion which mark womanly weakness, but allows nothing for them. It is work or jquit.

C1BCUS EVADING LICET? SE. The Walter Main Show Cuts Out Bareback Biding and; Payi Only 50. There are two big circus combinations in the State and at least one of is successfully and artfully evading1 the heavy license imposed by the last Legislature. The John Robinson circus, which has been in this State for some three is paying the regular circus $200, to the State, and which in most in-stancesis $200 for the county, making a total of $400 exclusive of city license for each clay's performance.

The Walter L. I.Iain circus i.s evading this tax by cutting out the bareback and other riding feats. The Main circus ex hibited in Louisburg yesterday. Early in the day Sheriff Kearney called, up Treasurer Lacy and informed him that the Main circus had been paying 'only a $50 license in other counties, and that the claim was made that it was not liable to the $100 license tax since the horseback riding had been eliminated. Treasurer Lacy had previously been informed by General -Manager Daleof the John Robinson circus, that the Main circus was only paying a $00 license and he wanted to know if he could not escape the $400 license.

Treasurer Lacy informed Sheriff Kearney to collect the $400 license if the Main-show gave the character of show on which such, a license is imposed. Sheriff Kearney only imposed the $50 license. There were between 6,000 and 7,000 at the afternoon performance. Died in Topeka. Ears.

CASTOR Jor Infants and or rterKted Ycff Have Always-Boss Saars tho bUHbliiVllrtBi CAN'T BE HE-HEARD Supreme Court's Important Decision Yesterday.

LOUIS COUNCIL TO DIE Judge Clark Writing the Opinion Upholds Precedent for 100 Years. JUDG'E DOUGLAS DISSENTED FROM' COURT Relief to Had From Executive In Criminal Cass, tVhere Investigation Can bs Mad That the O.urt Has no Authority to k'. The Supreme court decided yesterday that it would not grant a rehearing in a criminal case. Judge Clark wrote the opinion of the court, which upholds precedent in the highest tribunal past 100 years. of tho State for the Justice Douglas filed a dissenting opinion.

The decision was made in the case' of Louis Council, the condemned negro rapist of Cumberland, who will now have to pay the death penalty. i Council, it will be recalled, was con victed of rape in Cumberland Superior court and sentenced to die. The Supreme court affirmed this decision. Then. there was an effort to get the Governor to com mute the death penalty.

Failing in this the attorneys for council tne matter, before Judge Douglas, who placed the case on the docket, so that theques-tion of a re-hearing before the court might be argued. While a rehearing in civil cases before the Supreme court is not an unusual occurrence, it has ben the written and unwritten law that there could not be a rehearing in a criminal case. The Attorney General moved to dismiss the petition to rehear on the ground that by uniform practice of the court, observed from its beginning till now, petitions to rehear are not allowable in criminal actions. The court holds that "an appeal to this court is a right, not so as to a petition to re-hear. Herndon vs.

Insurance 'Company, 111 N. C. 384; Solomon vs. Bates 118 N. C.

321, which is an appeal from this court to itself and only allowable ex-necessitate when there is no other possible relief from its judgment. In criminal actions, there is the fullest power vested in the executive, not only to relieve from a judgment of this court, as. could be done by us upon a rehearing, but the facts can be inquired into as the court could not do, and of equity and mercy may have a weight which can not be presented on a rehearing in a court. If the court were not bound by a century of legislative acquiescence as well as judicial construction and viewed as a new question the court might well pause before assuming a jurisdiction over the strenuous application of defendants in criminal actions after the highest court has decided against them it is the con- current testimony of successive Governors that such applications have been the Ihost troublesome matters they have had to deal with, yefc they have means of investigation and examination and a leisure which is denied i to this court. In this very case the suspension of ex ecution has been by the courtesy of tht Governor in granting a respite under his prerogative, and not by virtue of the order of a member of this court.

That a judge of this court could not issue his order to the Governor commanding him not to proceed is conclusive that we have no power' overthe matter after the certificate of theopinion of this court has gone to him. The matter has thug gone into his hands, and the public history of this case shows that the executive has There is no medicine jn the world so erood for stomach complaints as the Bitters.

D. Wil-kie, of Chatham, against the Raleigh and Cape Fear railway for damages. The case hos been fought in the courts-for three years. Mr. Wilkie was employed on Mr.
