BATH.
t? fiFtw-towtfe in this Stat
retain
rtbt look of a hundred years, and
.Hone are more calculated to make
tht visitor feel that he lives in a
past century than the antique lit
4lt totvn of Hath. Ween the feet
of th traveler's horse nrst touch
.tht bridge before the town and he
looks towards the mouth, of the
little bay on which it is situated
Jnto the broad Pamlico bevond, his
eye rests on the very spot where
; Leach anchored his dreaded ships,
.when under the black flag, he laid
the country arcund under contribu
tion. There on a little peninsula
near the j-treak which divides the
bay from the river tradi'ion savs
.that noted pirate buried his plun
dered wealth. There time and
.again, idle , men who hope for
.wealth without toil have dug with
out success. .
But let us not delay here, but
follow the visitor through the si
lent streets, overhung by houses
, seventy years o'd, thin moss-cov-tered
roofs cove-ed with ivy, in
.which the little sparrows chirp
.merrily with little fear of interrup
ts from below.
. flock f pigeons are seen sail
jing gracefully about the tops of the
ftall elms, the motion of their wings
;sending sweet music down into
Tthe quiet street. The visitor stops
iis horse in front of an antique old
house and is soon welcomed by the
proprietor into the sitting room',
resembling that. of an old English
jinn, witk its high mantle and huge
re place, where our ancestors sat
in colonial days. We nextsee the
.visitor approaching a ni;dest old
tedifice, which bears last century's
inscription over its door, and with
,pride his attendant admits him to
Jthe brick floor of North Carolina's
,pldest church. There over the pul
i;pit hangs the old sounding board,
iwhich kas echoed the voices of cen
turies. Here the pious people m -t,
.ani with their united , prayers im
plored God to help the struggling
'patiots in their fight for libertv.
-Here they offered thanks for that
liberty, and with steady zeal each
.simple mannered inhabitant joined
jn kvmnj, of praise. Here in the
.corner we see the visitor stooping
?4o read the inscription on some din
gy stone, on which many now dead
.and forgotten have gazed.
' Harm j left the o'd church - he is
jjixt seen standing on a steep prec
ipice overlooking the bay, recall
ing history in connection vith the
objects he sees. Tae sun sank be
jhind the Western horizon, leaving
- a dark blue hue on the water,
broken here and there by little
.spots of white, as the fish chanced
to bteak. These were all lost in

DIED A MISER'S DE-VTII.
San JoS, Cai, , July 5. Pro
fessor Her man Kott uger, at one
time a famous violinist and an er
uidite educator on the Pacific
coast, died to-day in a mean little
shau y at No. 44 Colfax Titteet.
Although worth hundreds of thous
ands of dollars and with $,coo in
eold coin hidden in the bed-clothes
beneath him, he would not spend
a cent for medicine, and for a week
he had absolutely starved.
He was ninety years old and came
here sixty y ears ?go with a Stra
divarius violin that he had olten
refused a fortune for. : This violin
and his writings of baoks speedily
made him famous.
He was author of a number of
works and poems, au elementary
history of the world and numerous
text book, on free thought.
The old man's violin," when
found, in his right arm, clasped to
his breast, while his left hand was
buried beneath the soUed bed
linen and clutched the gold treas
ure, the hoarding of which, cost
him his life.
V'hen the news of the old mains
ieath wis made known two
fierce bulldogs that he kept in his
yirdhadto be killed before the
Coroner could get in the house.
The dead miser's relatives are
now overrunning the place, des-r
pite the efforts of the police and
with hammer, axe and spade are
ransacking the house high and
low and also digging up the gar
den in search of buried treasure.
Although the o!d miser pos
sessed many houses and lots, thus
for not a deed to one of them has
been found, nor anything except
ing his violin, books and the 2,000
in gold in his bed. Twelve years
ago Kottinger drove his wife and
children away because, he said,
they were costing him too much
money to feed and c'othe there.

The decision of Judge Ross in
the United States District Court at
San Diego yesterdav dismissing
the libel against th schooner Hot -

surprise to the officials in Wash

that the case against her was
much stronger than that which
could be inade by Judge Ross in
his decision, it is felt that his ac
tion will cause a failu e of, the
original libel lodged against the
Chilian vessel, although she "may
