Irl Hicks, of St. Louis, watches the planetory po sitions and from observations made attending certain relations has formulated a system of weather foretelling that, while not infallible, is wonderfully cor rect, the inaccuracies being less surprising than those of the weather bureau. Sir Norman Lockyer, in bis laboratory at Kensington, is studying the sunspots and prom inences, whatever the-o are, and is quite confident that, from these wo shall ere long foreknow such things as the droughts and con sequent famines in India and the high and the low floods iu Egypt. Among the advancements cata logued for the 20th century this one of knowing much of the times and the seasons by what can be seen among the planets need not be excluded. There is little doubt but that we shall read the faces of the planets and their relation to each other and learn from them much that now appears but idle speculation. The much maligned yellow dog now and then shows himself worthy of all the partiality so proverbial in his master. Eddie Horrigan, 10 years old, living at Williarxanic, Conn., went to bring the cows, says a dispatch of the 15th, when a 2-year-old bull at tacked bim, tossing him into the air then goring him at several places and trampling him under foot. The boy's companion, a yellow dog, engaged the bull in a fierce battle and drove him off. but not before be was sharply hurt and had left marks of the battle on the ferocious bovine. When Eddie came to consciousness the dog was licking his face. It is hoped that the boy may survive. Anyhow, that dog has in one heroic act redeemed his whole tribe and justifies somewhat that apparently irrational partiality that the average owner has for his dog. And now Charlotte has had another of the boldest of all at tempts, by a negro man, to as sault a white woman. Mrs. Bar ney Herron in company with Mrs Austin, was returning from a beef market in the south end of the city Saturday night and but for the approach of some white men near when the woman screamed there would have been another woman humiliated for life. We say it with no degree of satisfaction at all but if a few more of such cases occur we pre dict that Mecklenburg, too, will resort to the very natural method of treating this most exasperat ing of all crimes. The Wake Wideawake is the name of a new weekly papir published in Raleigh. It is a four page eight column sheet issued in the interest of Wake county. The initial number promises an interesting perion ical for the capitol county Ilere's hoping that its life may bo crowned with longevity and prosperity. The day after Crosceus, the champion stallion trotter won his spurs his only progeny in a race with tive came out last. This sound like some fable il lustrating the humiliation of of some great men whoso sous tiro the merest non entities. Wlde-A wake says Wake county iA to have throe new fural free delivery mail roates. Special Agent W A Barr is at work lay ing off the routes. This brings anew a pang of regret that there are not a goodly number of ap plications going up from Cubar rus. When the system was be gun many thought it would not prove satisfactory and therefore the routes would be abandoned but not so. They stick, we believe, wherever introduced and when once had it will be a surprise how the matter could be so lightly regarded for so long. The editor of The Standard is the pleased recipient of two pine apples of unusual size, fresh from St. Petersburg, Fla. They are presented by Mr. Leonard Kluttz, who recently paid a visit to relatives here in his old home state. They are his own pro duction. They are not ripe enough for toothsomeness yet and will be displayed for several days in the window of the Stan dard office aud all are invited to inspect them and inhale the sweet aroma with which they charm the surrounding atmos phere. If we would only practice the sturdy virtue of economy as our fathers did with our improved facilities for making money, the cry of hard times would never be heard, and peace and content ment would take the place ot un rest and wretchedness Thomas ville Charity aud Children. We would have to be honest and faithful in paying debts, however. There tan be no good times while nearly half the world is beating its way, getting other people's labor without paying for it. MR. MOSES KIXTTZ DEAD. Wa HI Years Old-Twa Wire Preced ed Him - Children Surrlfe. Mr. Moses Kluttz died at his home in No. 6 township Tues day evening at 7 o'clock at the good old age of 87 years. Mr. Kluttz was a veritable land mark in his community. He was a good citizen and was looked up to with veneration by the gen erations growing up about him. He was a member of Organ Church, though the family bury ing ground is at Lower Stone church where the burial will take place Thursday, the funeral rites being conducted by the German Reformed minister, the Rev. Mr Reidicil in the absence of the deceased's pastor, the Rev. G H Cox. Mr. Kluttz leaves six children and a goodly number of grand and great-grand children. He was bereft of his first wife 39 years ago and of his second 12 years ago. H- E. C. Briant Shoot at a Negro. Mr. H E C Bryant, -'Red Buck," defended a newspaper boy at the S. A, L. depot Tues day morning" from some negro boys and their father Gaston Plunket, whom he struck for his insolence. The big ne-,ro was going into a regular fight when with one hand on the ne gro's throat and the other to handle his four barrelled curio pistol he let drive a shot that missed the mark as he was jos tled when he pulled the trigger. Plunket yielded the field. Denied He Wan a Lawyer. J A Gorman, who has been the Southern's claim agent on the Asheville division for a number of years, is here today with a view of locating and practicing law in the city. Mr. Gorham is said to be one of the best attorneys in the State. Asheville Citizen. If we mistake not Mr. Gorham when he was on trial for con tempt at the May term of Ire dell Superior Court, for an al leged attempt to influence a juror in the Long case, denied that he was a lawyer at all. Raleigh News and Observer 20t h. Death at Bala.

She was 21 years old and leaves it mr.tlio. a.nrl hrntlmvo and sisters to mourn their loss, j Her remains were laid to rest this evening. SlCXPEKS ITEMS. DlNvoterj Made in the Social Circle-Mr VnneHtlTi Eagle a Curiosity. Mr. Davie Winecoff, of Mill Hill, has on exhibition a large American eagle which he shot aud crippled a few days ago The eagle has been seen in this ntighborhood for some time during the summer. Visitors are gsing daily to see the curios- ity. Misses Bess Kinmore and Ma tuie Goodman are attending the Teachers Institute in Concord this week. Miss Delia Alexander and Mr. Otho Turbytill, of Mt. Mourne, are visiting at Dr. Gouger's. School at Bethpago closes to day (Tuesday). Mr. and Mrs. L A Plaster, who are visiting at Mill Hill, will soon move to Winston. We've lately learned that 'tis tot good policy to shake hands with one person while giving an other one farewell greetings, While a certain young lady was perfectly frank and sincere in all her ways, remarks aud ex pressions, through what might bo called absent-mindedness on the part of the young lady, the young man came very near being the lucky oae of the crowd. Then we felt safe to say there would have appeared one more Wonder of the World which would have made eight instead of seven, judging from the blush on his face, if he had still been about to freeze. H. Ueciee of Diforce for the Daughter of ARibaMtador White. Mrs. .Clara White Newberry, daughter of Andrew D White, ambassador to Germany, was granted a divorce here today from Prot. Spencer B Newberry, general manager of the Portland cement plant in this city. The decree was given principally up on the testimony of Prof. New berry's brother, A St. John Newberry, of Cleveland, O., who testified that his brother had ad mitted to him that he had for a long time been intimate with Miss Nellie Frances, the stenographer at the cement works. Mrs. New berry was married while her father was president of Cornell University and Prof. Newberry was professor of chemistry in that institution.

College arrived this morning. He is just from Mississippi, where his family has been spending 6ome days with rela tives. Dr. Butler left the Kan sas A, and M. College last week. He has been for some years State Veterinarian of Kansas and pro fessor iu the Kansas College. He is president of the National Association of A'eterinary Sur geons, and is one of the most eminent specialists in his line in the country. He has accom plished a fine work in Kansas, aud will doubtless be very suc cessful in North Carolina.' He is a native of Canada, though he has spent most of his life in the United States, coming to this country seventeen years ago. He is still a young man. He was for several years State Veterinarian of Mississippi, and married there. Raleigh Times. ('n't Interfere With that Oood Woman. A neat little story comes from Pittsburg that Mrs. Fred Baugh is escorting non union men to one of the mills that is running with such labor. She is the wife of the superintendent and has always been very popular among the men and in peace time has nursed their families and has been so kind that they just can't interfere with her or the men she escorts. They say it would be easier to face a regiment of soldiers than to do an improper act in her presence. Mitrriairen.

Pierce City Missouri, is in the midst of great excitement ove horrible tragedies.

A story is told of a colored preacher who was holding meeting in a large tobacco barn in a rural district in Kentucky. Ac empty tobacco hogshead was impressed into service as an ole vator upon which to stand while delivering his discourse. Warm ing up with his subject, he soon became excited. Throwing his arms into the air above his head ; ud elevating one foot, he ex claimed: "De righteous shull rise and de wicked shall fall!" At the word "fall" he brought his foot down vehemently upon the head of the hogshead, and like a Hash it gave way and he dropped out of sight, being short in stature. Amid the pre cipitated uproar he reached up and grasped tho chime of the barrel, and drew himself into view, shouting, "Bless God, dey snail rise again!" Dalee Wagner's Body Found. Hickory, Aug. 18.
