Bailey, Esq , took charge of the of fice of Collector of Iniernal Revenue at Raleigh he removed James H, Young, a noted colored politician who had held a position in the of fice for 36 years and appoint, d a while Democrat to the place. The proposition made by the sailroads on freight reduction was unanimously rejected by the Freight Rate Commission: This is a vexed question about which there are nu merous opinions. One thing is cer tain, and that is there will hlave to • bean agreement som wl>ere before the matter is finally settled. The tariff discussion is likely to be protracted till late in the Fall, and as soon as that is over the cur rency measure will be on deck. Both these measures are among the reform measures promised by the end of August, Congress cannot hope for any summer vacation this year. It looks like there will be a con test of no little magnitude before Gov. Bulzer is finally impeached. Tammany may ultimately fail in his removal. Sentiment is growing in the Governor's favor. Health And Hygiene. • » No With I No Pllea. Investigators tell us that house flies are usually born within 30fl to 500 feet of where you see them. They do not' fly far, so the breed ing place is not hard to find. The slogan "swat the fly" has result ed in a large amount of good all over the country, but a "better slogan is "starve the fly". A llt •*tle prevention in the way of rc * moving filth would' accomplish the result and there would be no more chance for flies from that source. No filth, rto fiies. - - Perhaps typhoid germs are the most deadly germs the fly carries. '• You may strain dirt out of milk, hut when a fly gets one foot on the edge of the milk can it may be starting the growth of thou sands of typhoid germs. If there are flies In your house kill them. Then go out doors and cover every garbage pile, remove every manure pile at least once a week, and screen every out house within SOO feet, or better still, build it fly tight aAd place water tight cans under it. Get your neighbors to do the same. A well baby should have at least one tub bath every day. The ya ter for an ordinary bath should be •bout body temperature. Usp a thermometer; don't depend on the hand to determine the tempera ture. On very warm days a baby may be sponged two or threo times with lukewarm water In which salt Is dissolved in the pro portion of a teaspoonful to the pint, or a little alcohol (not wood alcohol) may be used instead of the salt.* Always give the bath before feeding—never Immediately after. Use special care to cleanse the body creases, especially after bowel movements. Dry thorough ly, it talcum powder be used, use only the best and unscented. Ignorance and carelessness are the chief causes of preventable sickness. It as much your duty to dispel this Ignorance which is wrecking and destroying human life, as it is your duty to educate your children that they may live intelligent and useful lives. Of what value Is an education If one Is too sick or too dead to use Itf Don't let your baby crawl on a dirty floor. Wash Its hands after creeping. ' To prevent typhoid cuts a few cents ; to cure It cist* many dollars. -V The Charlotte Observer say* two hacks loaded with visitors en route from Blowing Rock to Lln ville were overturned on the Yon ahlossee turnpike, one mile out of Linville Thursday afternoon and almost e*ery member of the party | Was more or less painfully' bruised ||wjbut none seriously hurt. The tmubte was caused by a team' -' running sway. A driw-r's leg was W. F. Coulter and his son, Harry Coulter, both lawyers, were shot and killed at the depot at Tren by J. A. Alford, a citizen of a county, who used two »wim*n conuuciea an auiomooue HARRY THAW HAS ESCAPED.! Noted Criminal Get* Away From Crlml- ' nal luaM Hoipltal. Harry K. Thaw, the (layer of Stanford White, escaped from the Hoipltal for the Criminal Inaane, at Mattewan, N. Y„ at 7.4 V o'clock Sunday morning. A dart for lib erty through an open, gate, a leaj) into the open door of a pow erful automibile that atood quiv ering outside, and a flight like rocket for the Connecticut State line 30 milei away accomplished his escape. Once beyond the State line Thaw is free. Only months, perhaps years of litigation, can bring him back to Mattewan, and then only in one event— that he be adjudged insane in the State to which he has fled. Five confederates manned the car in which Thaw escaped, and • big black limousine which trailed it past the asylum gate. The police have the descriptions of Thaw's confederates and the names uder which they registered at a local hotel Friday night, and are seeking them. A reward of S6OO for Thaw's ap prehension has been offered by Dr. R. F, C. Keib, superintendent of the asylum. Howard H. Barnum, the attendant at the gate past whom Thaw flashed In his break for freedom is under arrest, and other areests are expected to fol low in Ihe rigid investigation. The hotel at which Bvalyn Nes bit, Thaw's former wife, la stop ping York is being guard ed. The woman and her mother are in terror as Thaw bad threat ened to kill has wife, and other persons whom he hated are more or less uneasy. All the police in New York are on the lookout for Thaw. Harry Thaw, the son of a weal thy family, a moral degenerate, married Evalyn Nesbit, a young woman with a past. Actuated by jealoqsy he killed Stanford White a prominent architect and a fa favorite of his wife before she married him. - The courts held him insane and he was sent to a hos pital for the criminal insane. He has made numerous attempts to get oult of the hospital by legal means and his family have spent large sums in his behalf. Thaw was captured Tuesday morning immediately after cross ing the line into Quebec. He is be ing held by the authorities and will have a hearing at Sher brooke, Quebeck, to-day. This means another big legal battle. Can't Loan Government Money te Speculators.

By previous arrangement, the girls and boys of the Tomato Club and the Corn Club, respectively, of the county, gathered in the morn ing to spend the day in annual' picnic. ' Across the broad graded highway from the residence of Mr. Scott ia a landscape 'slightly roll ing and studded with beautiful oaks. At the lower and back side of .the grove are the placid waters of the beautiful lake, Josephine. In the broad shade under the large oaks is the exact spot-of the picnic. On entering the grounds from the highway , the visitors went through a large gate spanned with a tall arch draped-in red and white. In the top of the arch hung the word WELCOME in large letters. On one gate post hung the Corn Club banner, on the other gate post hung the Tomato Club banner. Corn and Tomatoea thus Joined hands in co-operation and kiased in smiling friendship. One realised on getting ther# that preparation had been maae and a good day was in store. Around the large oaks near the lake atalks of corn were stacked. On a table near by sat a basket of red, blushing tomatoes. The Corn Club numbers 50 mem bers and the Tomato Club about the same number. - Both clubs were well represented and several visitors as invited guests and Agents ot the State and National Agricultural Departments were present. You could see groups strolling in one direction from the to see the tdmato patch. In another direction you could see a group strolling down the valley ley to see the corn plot. And in still another direction you could tographer. Mr. Williams took the their way across the big pasture to see the herd of Jersey»*watling and browsing in the clover. All eager to see, all eager to learn, all with coats off, all at ease, all in for a good day. The maneuvers and scenes were too interesting not to photograph. Prof. O. B.

Though without any set pro gramme the entire day moved on with interest and pleasure to the end, and without an incident to mar. A splendid dinner was en- Joyed, fruits and. melons were served in abundance, rich and rare addresses were made, good fellow ship was expressed at every turn and a day complete wias enjoyed by all.

IS.—The latest reports from the Canal Zone an nounce that a* the result of pros pective substitution of drendges (or steam shovels in the excava tion of the famous Culebra Cut, ■ the canal may be ready for ship- 1 ping by next December. Even | earlier than that light draft ves sels are likely to be passing I through the Waterway, for as the J greater part of the canal prism | already has been cut to its fipal depth, small vessels probably can navigate It safely within a' few days after October 10, next when the Gamboa dike is to be blown up thus admitting to the Culebra level the great store of water in Gatun Lake. The 34 steam shovels now in the cut handle only 800,000 cubic yards of earth and rock a month, which output will be greatly reduced as the depth of the cut increases and the available room for shovel ing is reduced. Colonel Goethals, however has assembled IS dredges with a monthly capacity of 1,500,- 000 cubic yards and these will be floated in the cut as soon as the dike is destroyed. Meanwhile not content with dig ging away at the base of the cliffs, the engineers in their haste to open up the waterway have begun to tear away the hills with wqter under high pressure, sluicing the earth into the bed of the canal whence it Is being swept up by pneumatic dredges and pumps and discharged into ravines and val leys so far away that it can never wash back. State After Dealer* in Impure Food*. Raleigh Dispatch. The pure food division of the State Department of Agriculture, Dr. W. H .Allen, State food Chem ist, in charge, is haveing consider able trouble with dealers in vari ous parts of the State about, put ting on sale inferior substitutes for vinegar, which under the law must be made of apples. The in spectors send in substitute vin egars very often and the dealers are being sharply dealt with as they seem to persist in some cases in putting the stuff on sale. The lines are being drawn as sharply as possible all the' time now by the department in the in sistence that only pure foods "be handled. The dealers come back with pleas of ignorance as to the goods and the law they violate. In several cases lately letters from dealers'who plead ignorance, are signed with a cross mark. Sev eral such have been sharply rep rimanded with the statement that persons so absolutely ignorant should not be allowed to dispense foods. —t BTATB or Ohio, Oitt or Toledo, I m Lucas CotJjrrr. i OO, Frank J.
