Greensboro Just now is enjoying the sensational preaching, or t«*aehing, of b innn nainod Ilodgin. who is at the head of what he terms the ' Fire-tried Holiness church.” Those who make up his audiences are white perrons, but belong to the more ignorant (lass. They come firm, many places, some of them mile: away, to hear the "holiiers n.a.i,” a they term him. There is not a service day nr nigi.' but what s.er, Ib.dgin’s tent paeke to its utmost limit. The scene is at almost indescribable one, as those who make up the audience are ^va riably wrought up to the pitch where they sing, shout. Jump and clap their hands for hours at a time. Ilodgin gave it out yesterday that he would c ast out a devil from an afflict d young man. The latter, Eel Haynes by name, was taken by Ms mother to the "holiness man," who declared that ho could promptly dispense with the presence of the evil spirit.

Louisiana Purchase Exposition Will Not Open Until 1904. St. Louis. May 2.— A statement giv en out yesterday evening by President David R. Francis, of the Louisiana Pur chase Exposition company, says in part: “For maiif months tho St. Louis world’s fair has virtually bfv* post poned for one year. A decided ma jority of the directors prefer 1904. “The repeated request of both do mestic and foreign exhioltors for post ponement; advices from foreign gov ernments to the effect that they had not sufficient time in which to make preparations for a representative ex hibit in 1903; the statement of Gov ernor Taft that the Philippines would not be able to install their exhibits In a creditable manner if the exposition should not he postponed to 1904; the expressed fear of the government architect that he could not procuro ma terial for a government building by 1903, and the fart that the general public for months past considered postponement a foregone conclusion, were some of the reasons that moved the executive committee to authorize me to Inform the national commission that any action of congress changing the time of the exposition from 1903 to 1904 would be aceptable. The tele gram from President Carter, of the national commission was received at 3:30 yesterday afternoon. Senator Cockerell wired us yester day afternoon that the sundry civil bill would pass tho senate on Satur day, and if a change of date was to be Incorporated therein congress should be immediately advised of the wishes of the local corporation. There was not sufficient time in which to call a meeting of the board.rJ take action on the subject, conse quently the executive committee au thorize me to express their wishes to the effect that a postponement should be ordained by congress. "After receipt of Mr. Carter’s tele gram I framed a reply setting forth the conclusion of the executive com mittee. but before sending the mes sage made an effort to get the views of every director in the city. Up to this hour over 50 of them have been consulted and without an exception every one favored a postponement. I have therefore replied to President Carter, of the national commission, to that effect and have asked that our onclusions be submitted to congress and to the president. I think there is no doubt as to the action congress will take and that it will be in favor of postponement.” Des Moines, la..
