Cunuuit'ee Favors It and Will Probdb'y Report for ? 10,000,000 apr.ruprailn. A STHcial of the 19th from Washington to the Charlotte observer cives much encourage nieut to the advocates of the Appalachian park. It says: "There is a feeling to-night that the hearing on the Appa lachian Park bill to day will be productive of results-that the friends of the measure nave hitherto hardly dared to hope for. In an entertaining, lucid, yet scientific manner the purposes of the proposed reserve were explained to the committee by Dr. McGee, of the Bureau of i American Ethnology: Prof. " Piiiehot, of the forestry division of the Agricultural De partment; Dr. Ambler, secretary or the I'arlt Association; fror, Holmes, representative Brown lee, and Mr. Chas. Seymour, of Knoxville, Atter the hearing Representative Moody asserted his belief that the committee would make an appropriation of 10,000,OOD instead of $8,000,000, savintr that Chairman Wads- worth favored such an appro priation, and that the proposi tiou for an increase also met the approval of Representatives Henry and Connell, ,- the first named gentlemen being chair man of the sub-committee to which tlio matter has for the time being been referred. Not only thin, but. it was stated after the executive session of the committee which followed the public hearing, that Representa tivo Williams would make no further objections to the passage of the bill. The hearing devel opod but a single disappoint ment. The North State delega tion was not we!l represented at fie homing, Representatives Moody and K'iihz being the only members of the delegation from the Slate who were pre ent. Even the sister State of Sotuh Oa-alina was better rei resented. It is fair to state, however, that Mr. Bellamy 'was out of the ciiy, Mr. Pou was ill during the forenoon and could not leave his hotel, while Mr. Small was busy preparing a speech against the river ana harbor bill. Others may also have had good excuse for the absence. By careful and tactful ques tioning on tho part of Messrs. Kluttz and Moody many im porlaut and ualuable points were brought to tho attention of the committee. Once the former hi ten upted to ask if it were not a fact, that many mountain land owners were at this time hearing for forests in a way that would ha'e the approval of the govern ment, to which Prof. Piuchot gave an affirmative answer, cal ing especial attention to the Vanderbilt estate. The sub com mittee is expected to report to the full committee very soon." 10 Cl'ltE A COI.H IS OSE IUY. T;ike Laxative BromoQuinind Ta lets. All druggists refune the money if it fails to cure.

The system will be a great convenience. -The mail carrier will deliver registered packages and take packages to be regis tered and receipt for same. He will supply those who want stamps and may be a general convenience by which to send and receive merchandise, etc., (the terms being ?ucl. as may be agreed upon) so far as it may not interfere with his duties to government.

She Did Not Want l'ai kg Stone to o SliDutiiiic and When She Jerkd at the Gun In His Hands It Was DischarKed -Che Will Recover. It Is Said. The accidental discharge of a shot gun yesterday morning so badly lacerated the leg of Minna Allen, a white woman, living at 421 West. Hill street, that amputation, above the knee, was necessary. She is at St. Peter's Hospital and her physieiaus stale that she will probably recover. Her own carelessness, said Minnie Allen, was responsible for the accident. At 10:30 o'clock i'arks Stoue, a young white man, who lives on South Church street came' to her house for his guu, a breech le ader. He picked up tho gun and told the woman that he was going out to shoot robins. She told him, play fully, that he should cot go. As he started to leave tho house the woman grabbed the gun at the muzzle and sharply pulled it toward her and downward. The gun was discharged, the couteuts bird shot entering the calf of her right leg, tearing away the flesh and splintering the bone. Chief of Police Irwin happened to be in the vicinity of the woman's house and hurried to 'he scone. He arrested Stone and held him till the woman had made a statement, . declaring that Stone was not responsible for her injury. Then Stone was released. Minnie Allen was taken to the hospital, where an operation was performed. A 'phone mes sage from the hospital 'astDight stated that her condition is satisfactory. Charlotte ver of 21st.

Mr. RSPhippstold the Patriot the other day of a simple but effective home remedy for colic iu horses that should be known to everyone. One evening last week one of his plow horser came tn from the field suuering with a very sovrre case of colic. When unhitched tho horse lay down and would have died in a few minutes had not Mr. Phipps acted ou tho suggestion of a neighbor woman who happened to beat his house at the time. She told him to burn some cotton rags in a bucket aud let the t he horse iuhale the smoke and it would recover. Tho thing appeared so simple that he was incredulous, but he tried it, anyway, and in ten minutes the horse was up eatins1 its feed, lie is convinced that the remedy is superior to any. other and is willing that others may know of it.

What He Think of the Proposed Crunipacker Rill. The Washington correspon dent of the Raleigh Post says of Hon. Theo. F Kluttz's views on the Crumpacker bill. "Tho i rn r packer resolution r- far-reaching, more so than is indicated on the surface. It is boldy proposed that a partisan committee shall be chosen to ascertain how many negroes are disfranchised in tho southern states. This information is to be gathered in Washington for Republican campaign purposes and used in the North to in- tluenefi t.ho netrpn vntft in the states that are close. Theif there is another purpose in view, which hasnot.yetappeared. The Republicans expect to lose the House. By revolutionary methods they can convert the expected minority into a majority. For this purpose it will only be necessary to bring out the figures of this investigat ing committee and show the r figures as to the number of voters claimed to be dis franchised. Enough southern representatives can be denied their seats to overthrow a Democratic majority." Charlotte Day. Everybody who comes from Charleston these days declares that the exposition is kind of holding its breath and stirrin' about in preparation for the ad vent of the Charlotte people on Charlotte day, April 9th. The many people around here who are going to Charleston on the auspicious occasion are antici pating much pleasure and profit in and out of the midway, but the first thing that most of the visitors will do will be to go out and search for those ancient buzzard-birds that potter around the streets of the old time town and pass the time of day with the natives.

He followed this new world from infancy to youth, then to ma turity, to age, to decline or de cay and to death. He seemed to take Mars and the moon in his hand and point out the conditions a dying world in the former and a dead world in the latter with all the ease and familiarity that one may handle an orange, dissecting it with microscopic views from sur face to center.
