A shabby coat may enwrap a newspaper publisher, while a man wearing a high toned plug hat sporting a gold cane may be a delinquent subscri-ber. If the cathode ray assists in the diaguois of suspected appendicitis, it will be a boon to mankind, suggests the At lanta Journal. This trouble has been found to be frequent, and unless a correct diagnosis is made in the earliest stage, the chances of recovery are far from ood. An India woman thought her bus band was too jealous because he slept with a razor, a revolver, a hatchet, and a package of rough on rats under bis pillow, and a shotgun and a machete beside the bed, and that this was suffi cient reason for applying for a divorce. It is remaikable how a few trifles will sometimes arouse a woman's suspicoos. A Pennsylvania man recently present ed his wife with a piano lamp which she Baid she would call after him. On ask ing her reason, she replied: "Well dear, it has a good deal of biass about it, it is handsome to look at, it is not remarkably brilliant, requires a good deal of attentior. is liable to explode, flares up occasionally, is always out at bedtime and is bound to smoke." A letter to the Southern Associated Press from Senator Marion Butler io reply to an mquiry, makes a positive statement of the position of the Populist party with reference to fusion will Republicans oi Democrats and is of special interest at this juncture. It says: "The people's party will not co operate with tbe gold bugs, but is ready to co operate against the gold bugs. Neither will the People's party support nny man for Governor who will vote fur a gold man for President. The people's party stands solidly for this position and you can rest assured it is not bluff, but means just what it says. If no party will co operate with us against the goldbii" then we will make the fiht alone." Tue Raines liquor license bill which has passed both houses of the New York Legislature and is raising Cain, levies a tax of $800 a year on every saloon or other place in New York city where liquor is sold to be drunk on the premises and $ 500 when it is simply sold. In Brooklyn the tax is $950 and 8100, io Buffalo aod cities ef its class it is $500 and $300, and so on according to popu lation dowo to $100 and 850 in the small towns and villages. There is a provision in the law prohibiting the sale of liquor within 200 feet of the nearest entrance to a private residence, unless the written consent of two-thirds of the owners of the dwellings be secured, and it also prohibits the sale of liquor on Sunday, in saloons or other places. The Baltimoie Steam Packet Co., is naking extensive improvements to its steamers, and has just completed this work on the Alabama. Although she is practically a new vessel, the company de cided to refurnish her and make other betterments. Expense was not spared, and it is safe to say that there are few vessels in the coastwise or tiansadantic service that are more luxuiiously fur nished and appointed than the Alabama. Many of the carpets in the staterooms are Axminster, while the carpets and hangings in the saloons are of the choicest patterns. The prevailing colors, white and gold, which were originally used to decorate the saloon and cabin interiors, were utilized in tbe rcdecoration with very artistic effects. The Alabama is the finest steamer that was ever on the Chesapeake bay. Tbe Bay Line is a part of the great Seaboard Air Line system and a trip up the bay on the Alabama is "a thing of beauty and a joy forever." The Wilmington Messenger in speak ing of the North Carolina troops in the late war and of the battle of Gettysburg says: "If an examination is mado of the record of the three days' battle of Get tysburg we think this will be found to be true: That Pettigrew's North Caro lina brigade (four regiments) lost actually more men, killed and wounded, than Pickett's entire Virginia division. One regiment (ihe immortal 20th) lost more men than any other regiment io all the Southern armies lost during the war. We rather believe it lost more than any other regiirent on either side. There was not a British regiment in the terrific slaughter and magnificent fighting at Footenoy that lost so many. ' Not one of the British regiments at Waterloo lost so many. Not even the famous Light Brigade, whose splendid valor was celebrated in such striking verse by Lord Teonyaoo, lost nearly so much as the North Carolina 26th lost in the fate- ful battle of Gettysburg, Tbe best way to avoid scalp diseases, hair falling out and permature baldne is to use the best preventive known for that purpose--HalPs Hair fcoewer. . Tug uiiuts arc now coining standard vtr dollars at the rate of 81,500,000 per lunntn Iroiu tue silver bullion purchased under the act of July 14, l 's'.ltl, on hand.

The Neiv York Mercury gets off some bright and timely hits. Hero is one of the latest: "Dixie's black and brows delegates to the Republican National Convention at St. Louis will put in an appearance, just as they have at every national convention of that party since the war. When they arrive they will be shabbily clothed and look seedy, but in less than two days all this will be changed. They will appear arrayed in nobby suits, patent leather shoes, kid gloves, shining new tiles, and gorgeous neckties. This change will be brought about by the sale of tickets, which are parceled out to delegates After this they will be in the market for tue sale ot votes. A ttinity colored dele gate will go back to Dixie from attend anceononeoi these conventions with several hundred dollars in his pocket.

He was acquitted and at once sued the company for 810, 000 damages "Russell for Governor, McKinlcy for President aud Pritchard for Senator are going to wio," says Paleman Johu's Elizabeth City Carolinian, the Republi can organ io the East.

The citizens of Concord have offered tho Seaboard Air Line 8100,000 to build a lino from Charlotte to that point, there by destroying the monopoly now enjoyed by the Southern Railway. The Baptists of Wake Forest College have decided to build a brick church, to cost from 80,000 to $8,000. It is the only town in the State of its size without a church of any denomination.

Next Sunday Dr. Black, the presiding elder of this district, will preach at the church and on the same day Dr. White will also give a discourse at the Baptist church. The new Methodist church is nearly erected, but work had to be stepped owing to some ol the lumber which was to be used in building it being burned at the tire at the saw mill.
