For a In t 1 ' !'.: t t t!. time it seemed as if the printing establishment of E. M, Uzzell and Company, immediately to the west, would be destroyed, but the iron shutters prevented the blaze from penetrating. iV, Henry Bagley, business manager of the News nd Ob server, said that the fire depart ment was mighty slow in re sponding and did not reach the office until the men had been driven from their desks into the street. When the department did arrive its efforts to throw water on the building were almost futile, the water pressure being oractically nothing. FLAMES RAGED UNCHECKED. It was pitiful to watch the flames leap from costly machine to costly machine while a small stream of water reached tip in a vain effort to check the fire rne entire tmrd floor lell in, together with the roof, but the second floor held, though sever al shaftings fell from the ceiling The firemen, once they got in the game, worked hard, but to no avail.

It seems that some negroes were crap shooting when a dispute arose. Harris, who is said to' be a professional crap shooter, shot a man by the name Simpson. While he was shoot ing another negro came out of the house and was also shot but the wound is not serious. Harris made his escape and so far no trace of him has been found. No Caldwell Lenoir Topic. Numerous insects, . something like large gnats, have made their appearance in Lenoir and vicini ty for the past few days. Their presence in such large numbers is rather annoying, and it is to be hoped that their stay will not be continued long. From the Statesville Landmark we note that the same insects have ap peared there also. Mr. Thomas Moore, of Colletts ville, lost his large barn, and contents by fire at an early hour last Saturday morning. The fire was not discovered until about 11 o'clock and it had then made such headway that it was im possible to save the building or any of the stock.

After the Democratic tariff bill passes Congress and is signed by the President, the aigrette bird of paiadise, marabou, and other beautiful plumes and feathers that women wear on their headgear will-not be im ported into this country. The new bill prohibits the importa tion of such feathers and plumes for.commercial purposes. It is estimated that the importers who handle such business im port about $15,000,000 annually. The Underwood bill puts a duty on artificial feathers; on downs, provided. That the im portation of aigrettes, egret plumes or so-called osprey plumes, and the feather quills, heads, wings, tails, skins, or parts of skins, of wild birds, either raw or manufactured, and not for scientific or educational purposes, is hereby prohibited;. but this provision shall not apply to the feathers or p'umes oi ostriches, or to the feathers or plumes of domestic fowls or any kind," "This provision of the Under wood bill," said T. Gilbert Pear son, the expert feather man of the Audubon Society, who urged the ways and means committee to pass the bill to protect the birds, "doesnot hurt anybody but a lot of importers. Australia has a similar law, and the En- Who Is My Neighbor? j Queer Tricks of Colors. (U R. Mills in Orphans' Friend.)

Early m life Mrs. Dellinger joined the Lutheran church and lived a con sistent Christian life, being a faithful attendant upon all ser vices himself, "I must see the chair- wear man 0f OTlr board and suggest to him the propriety of calling them together in 'order that this man's record may be investiga ted. "I read in the same book," said Mr. Mills, but a certain Sa maritan as he journeyed came where he was and when he saw him lie had compassion on him . And went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine and sat him on his own beast and brought him to an inn and took care of him. And on the morning when he departed he took two pence and gave them to the host and said unto Tq.1tp oarp nf him! What- . soever thou spendest more when I I come I will repay thee." Mr. Mills said: "This third man was evidently a drummet travel ing for some house and selling medecines, bandages, etc. All drummers know the good hotels and the proprietors do not hesi tate to trust them." Mr. Mills sat down. His short speech had killed the subject under discussion. President Cleveland was there and he immediately sought in troduction to Mr. Mills.

When one eye is closed the letters are all seen at the .same distance. On opening the other eye one set of letters immediately ap pears to take a position in ad vance of the others. The explanation offered for this effect i that a sort of stere oscopic illusion is produced in the eye itself, depeuding upon color. The image of a blue ob iect is shifted by the eye toward one side and that of a red objeet toward the other side. If on looking at blue and red letters on a black background placed 10 or 12 feet away you see the red letters nearer than the blue, screen off one-half of the pupil of each eye on the out side and you will see the red letters retire behind the blue ones If you screen the pupils of the side toward the nose, you will see the red letters advance ap parently still farther ahead of the blue ones. If, on the other hand, you naturally see the blue Un advance, screen the inaer side of the pu pils of your eyes and the red will come to the front. Beautiful effects are produced with one eye alone when instead of letters red or blue rings are pasted on a background of the opposite color. Placing red rinsrs on blue paper and using the right eye with the inner side of the pupil covered the appear ance is that of circular red hil locks resting on a blue ground. To produce this effect m its highest decree the paper must be held to the left and sloping in that direction. When the outer side of the pupil is screen ed the red rings will become r-i miliar trenches in the blue paper. Tit Bits. SALE OF LAND.
