Tn the Consular Imports for Octo
ber there is an interesting report bv
Cor.sul Koenan, at Mrenien, as to
the "me Peal view of bicycle riding''
entertained in Germany. " The re pot-1
deals chiefly with u paper read at a
meeting of the Deri in. Medical Socie
ty by l'rofossor Mendelssohn, of the
rn.iversity of llerlin, which iaper
has been much uuoted bv the health
journals of the I'atlierlanti and seems I
to command general approval. Its I
conclusions coincide to some extent i
with those of experienced American)
riders, as well as American physici-'
ans. Dr. Mcndessohn holds ' that !
wheel-ridino; is hiIiiy advantageous
to some persons 'it practiced intelli-i
eentlv and with moderation, but
harmful or absolutely danrerov;
if i
carried to excess. ihe advantages
are obvious exercise and recreation
to mentally overworked persons and
savir.o- of expense in locomotion. It
is beneficial to persons troubled with
certain diseases. The oases cited are:
''When excessive uric acid and iror.t
exist; in certain mild forms of chronic
disturbance in the pelvic organs:
when there are slight disturbances
of the respiratory ctlm'.'.s, except ab
solute lun.i,' dilatati"n."
The dangers of the wheel, apart
from accidents, are for some per
sons very conquerable. Dr. Men
delssohn enumerates: ' ' 1 1 : tl am rn a t io n
of the knee joint from overwork; in
limmation of the pel vie organs from
the saddl
atomic and molecular change through ;
out the body, especially in the vital
organs, owing to constant excessive
exertion."' The weakening of the
individual in the last-mentioned case
is thought to produce ''an especial
susceptibility to infectious diseases."'

.Musn't Kill the Xeiirlibor's Cliiekens.
Quite a jteculiar ajul amusing case
is published in the last volume of the
North Carolina Supreme Court Re
ports. It is an indictment against a
man for "cruelty to animals" for
killing his neighbor's cliiekens which
wcreTn his garden scratching up his
peas. The defendant was convicted
before a justice of the peace, and on
appeal to the Superior Court was
convicted there, and on appeal to
the Supreme Court his conviction
was aflirmed.
It seems foolish for a man to incur
so much cost in lighting so frivolous
a case, but we suppose his "blood
was up" and that he was fighting
mad. The opinion of the Supreme
Court, delivered by Judge Clark, is
quite a long and able one, as well as
humorous. The court declares that
a man has no n ore right to kill his
neighbors cnicueus, wine u .uu .-. lur
ching up his garden, than he has to
kill his c.ittle that might be trespass
ing in his field. His only remedy is
"t7i impound'' them till damage is
paid. That is, catch them (without
hurting them) and keep them until
the owner pays for whatever damage
they may have done.
Temptations are crises which test
the strength of one's character.
Whether we stand or fall at these
crises depends largely on what we
are before the testing comes.
A 3irI)EKER'S CONFESSION.
Tho Cojitlc-unied Assassin (;ivos a Detail
e! Acfjunt cT His Horrible Cl ime.
Sauj rij:ht, the nero murderer
of Mr. W. A. Carr, now confined in
our county jail awaiting his execution
next Wednesday, has made the fol
lowing confession of his uilt to his
attorney, Mr. W. T. Dortch, and
in the presence of two colored min
isters, Uevs. K. C. Carroll and J.
W. Dew, which was taken in his own
words by Miss Julia 15. Howell,
stenographer:
"My name is Samuel Wright. I
pin between 34 and :." years old.
There was no one in it but myself.
Virginia is my native home. I came
here from Georgia last year. 1 have
been in Georgia about ci-ht or ten
years. I was never in any trouble
in Georgia of any kind. At the time
of the killing of Mr. Carr 1 was work
ing with Mr. Dallard Hastings in
Fork township. I left the store that
evening about 7 o'clock with Mr.
Hastimrs and o.hers and then went
to tlie house of Lizzie Joyner, where i
1 boarded, about three-fourths of a
mile from Mr. Carrs store. I had
been drinking heavily. I was clerking
that day for Mr. Carr and selling
wine for him. As soon us I ot my
supper 1 went back to the store. 1
met three men coming from the
store. The store was locked up. I
called Mr. Carr. Ife came and he
w as in his night clothes. He had gone
to bed. I told him I wanted a pound
of cheese. He got that for me. 1
told him I wanted some wine, and
when he went to draw the wine I
struck
him with a stick I carried
i with me T liad no distinct int.-n-
tion when I went there except to get
nis money. iy minu was uusetrieu.
"WTi m he was stooping down to
draw the wine 1 struck him with the j
slide over the head, and he jumped 1
up and grabbed me in the collar with j
one hand. I tried to get him loose!
from me and I could not, and I ran !
my hand in m v pocket and got my j
knife and cut liirn loose from me and. 1
he fell. lie did not strike me at all. j
I d.o not know how his linger was i
broken. He never hollered or cried '
out at all. Tl e men I met did some !
shooting. I do not know who they j
were. I stepped into the bushes and
"let them pass by. The lamp was
kicked over in the scuttle. 1 com-

his watch out of his clothes andTus j
pistol oil of the beit and his money
from the store. He had none in his
clothes. I went on back home. My
clothes were not very bloody. There !
was a little blood on my right hand, j
I did not have on the vest shown in I
court at the time of the murder. 1 1
put it on the mornin
after the mur
der. It was a second-hand vest that !
1 bought of Mr. l-inklestein in Golds- j
boro. There was no blood on the!
vest and had never been so far as 1 1
know.
'It was not blood on my shoes. I I
know that it was pokeberry juice ;
that 1 got on my shoes and b'uej
overalls before the murder when I I
was staining a gun-stocK tnat i tma
made for Jauii s Jovner. 1 trot some
of the stain on my hand, and as 1 was
sitting near turn lie dropped some on
my blue overalls and my gaiters, and
I then wiped my hands on my blue
Ulilllll. Oliii
Hastings, standing on the opposite
corner, called me to mm. i went io
him and he said I was the very man
he wanted to see for tic Had a war
runt, for me. and then Mr. Hastings
called the Chief-of-Dolice over there
and told me to come on up to the
Mneor's office, and thev told me they
had to carry me back out there where
Mr. Carr was killed, i told mem an
right.
'"They said: 'Then we will have
to search you,' and I told them all
right to do that. They asked me if I
had a pistol. I told them I did. They
told me they would like to see it. I
nulled it out of my pocket and hand
ed it to the chief. He asked me if I
had another pistol, and I told
him I did. I pulled it out of my
pocket and handed it to him. He
then asked me something that I did
not understand, and I said, 'sir,' and
he said: 'Yes, you have got a watch
for I saw it just a minute ago when
you looked at it.' I told him yes I
had a watch and handed it to him.
That was Mr. Carr's watch. The
pearl-handle pistol was Mr. Carrs
and the black-handle was mine; I
got the black-handle pistol last Feb
ruary from Sears, Roebuck & Co., of
Chicago. I had sent them a great
many orders and they made me a
present of it. I wish you to give my
pistol to Munroe Newborn, who mar
ried my wife's daughter. I had 83
cents; the rest of the money found
upon my person belonged to Mr.
Carr, and the pocket-book that the
money was in was mine. I want ev
erything of mine to be juiven to Mun
roe.
"I went back out to the place of
the killing. They never asked me
anything- about it". At the coroner's
inquest I made the statement that
was read in court. I afterward made
another statement to Capt. D. J.
H r oad h u r s 1 1 r y i n g t o i m plie a t e He u r y
Knight in the crime. He is innocent",
and had nothing whatever to do with
it. I never told anybody what I in
tended to do before the murder. No
body else had anything to do with
the murder of Mr. Carr, and I alone
am guilty. You his attorney are
the first one that 1 told afterwards.
I had rather not see my wife. Sue
is now at EaG range at Munroe's
house. I do not wish to see her be
cause it gives her so much pain. I
never had any intention of robbing
Mr. John Grantham or anybody else
in all my life. I was only indicted
once before in all my life, and that
was for selling whiskey, and I was
not found guilty.
"This statement that I have given
above is the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth. Whiskey
is the sole cause of my trouble and
has brought me where I am now.

Hearing Others' Burdens.
The real sufferers from war are in
large part the innocent non-combatants
who remain at home to suffer
from want and distress of mind. The
real sufferers from drink and crime
are not the victims of the one or the
perpetrators of the other, but their
wives and relatives, deprived of sup
port and disgraced. They have to
bear the burdens of others, and
many of them do it cheerfully, or at
least without complaining, as a mat
ter of duty. There are other kinds of
burdens, however, that are imposed
upon people not responsible for them.
The wild young man incurs debts
which he cannot pay, but they do
not worry him: he coolly transfers
that burden to some indulgent rela
tive, a mother, perhaps, who mistak
enly helps him out of his uillk ulties,
leaving him to go scot free of punish
ment. Or another man without be
ing wild is careless and extravagant
and lives beyond his means. He is
greeted everywhere as a generous
fellow who does not begrudge money
in the entertainment of his friends,
and he sleeps without a care, though
burdened with debt.
How does he manage it? He has
a loving sister, who, though she has
little means, devotes what she can
save to keeping him afloat. She
bears his burden. She does more than
that she creates it. It is because he
is satisfied that when creditors press
him he can borrow from her money
that ho never returns that he is care
loss about incurring debt, and plays
the part af the prodigal, content to
be called generous, though he is, in
fact, a mean dependent. There are
times and occasions when we should
bear or help to bear the burdens of
others. When a near relative or
friend sutlers without fault of his
own it is the part of Christian char
ity to relieve him as far as possible
of his burden; but there is no such
duty imposed when the burden itself
is created by the selhshness of those
upon whom it falls. The duty then
is to stand aloof and allow the pun
ishment to fall where it belongs.
In one of Gilbert's comic operas
there is a song recounting how the
Emperor of Japan hopes in time "to
make the punishment fit the crime"
and describing the method of meet
ing various social offenses. There is
an undercurrent of sound sense in the
humorous verses. The punishment
ought to lit the crime, and then there
would be less crime. Social usage is
such, however, that many offenses
go unpunished or the innocent are
made to act as shields protecting the
guilty from such wholesome admoni
tion at their offenses would bring
to them if they were left to them
selves. The child whose parents
protect him from all natural punish
ments which should follow trans
gressions of social law "never seems
to learn"' anything about his obliga
tions to society. Hut this same child
learns by one lesson to keep his
hands out of the fire, simply because
his parents cannot take to them
selves his blisters. It is an import
ant part of the training of the young
to make them bear their own self
imposed burdens. In that way they
will be taught not to create siich
burdens. Then when they suffer
from some cause beyond their con
trol it is just as much our duty and
privilege to share their burden or
help them to bear it.
Jlctlic.clstjrUie Illiiul.
The blind man has to depend al
most entirely on the accuracy of his
cars to guide him wherever he may
wish to go, and it is remarkable in
what a short time he becomes famili
ar with a new locality and fresh sur
roundings. Few people are aware
of the powers of the car, but the
blind, through constant exercise of
that organ, are able to discover ob
jects almost as rapidly as a seeing
person.
For instance, when walking in a
perfect calm, he can ascertain the
proximity of objects by the feeling
of the atmosphere upon his face. It
would seem at first that the echo giv
en back, were itonly from his breath
ing, might be sensible to his car, but
it has been ascertained by experi
ment that a blind man with his ears
stopped can tell when any large ob
ject is close to his face, even when it
approaches so slowiy as not to cause
any sensible current of air.
When he is walking along the
street, he can tell whether it is wide
or narrow, whether the houses are
high or low, if any opening w hich he
may be passing is a court closed up at
the" end or w hether it has an outlet to
another street, and he can tell by
the sound of his footsteps in what
lane, or court, or square he is. Ho
goes along boldly, seeming to see
with his ears and to have landmarks
in the air. Of course no blind man
likes to go over a new route unat
tended, but after he has traversed
it once he knows every point of im
portance to him.
