Saint John's Day at the Oxford Or
phanage. On Friday, .lime 24lh. in the ample
oak grove of the Oxford Orphanage
the annual celebration nt' Saint .lnhn's
Hay Hill take place. The occasion
seems to urmv in iiiteicsi from year to
year. If conditions are t'avorahle, it
is likely that between seven and ten
thousand of our people will gnlhi-r
ill Oxford lur the celchration.
A special session of the lirand
Lodge of Masons of North Carolina
will be held about noon and, very soon
thereafter, the exercises out in the
grove will begin. Culess soiucthiinr
prevents, (iratnl Master Ifichaid N.
Ilaekelt w ill preside.
Mr. W. K. Ballon, of Oxfonl. will
deliver the address of welcome
(Iratul Master Hai kelt has announc
ed the appointment of Kev. I'lato
Durham, of Concord, as orator ot' the
ilay.
The children of thre Oxford Or
phanage, with their sweet .-omring and
their open air concert in the after
noon, will contribute no little to the
enjoyment and prolit of the occasion.
Some of the visitors to Oxford will
doubtless prefer to carry baskets and
enjoy their dinner in good old fash
ioned picnic style.
An abundance of pure ice water
will be provided.
From stands on the grounds liarbe
pue dinner, sandw iches, other lunches,
fruits, ice cream, lemomule, etc., will
be provided.
The Seaboard Air Line plans to
again operate excursion trains from
Raleigh, Durham, Weldou and Hen
derson. Besides the usual increased
equipment and attractive social rates
on regular trains, which are run on
schedules most convenient for the peo
ple east of Oxford, the Southern Rail
way will operate an excursion train
from Oreensboro. This train will leave
(ireenshoro at 7:30 a. in. and reach
Oxford about 10:4."i :. m. Returning
it will leave Oxford at 4:110 p. 111. and
arrive in Greensboro about 7:45 p. ni.
The Oxford Orphanage, one of the
greatest institutions in our common
wealth, its three fiundred ami thirty
children, the meeting of the Grand
Lodge of Masons, the splendid speak
ing, the sweet singing, the afternoon
concert, the out of doors picnic fea
ture, the fine fellowship these are
Dome of the attractions of this cele
bration. And the convenient excur
sions and low rates will be but added
inducements for many of our people
to go to Oxford Friday, June LM1I1.
Sheriffs Should do Duty.
Greensboro News.
In closing his reference to the inter
nal revenue laws, together with tbeir
relation to the so-called sidewalk pro
hibition laws, Judge Boyd said: "The
obligation to suppress such violations
of law rests upon ttie sheriff of a
county, as much as upon a federal offi
cial, and no honest county official can
sit in the face of Lis state law and
say it is none of his business to inter
fere with lawbreakers. A s!l(eriff
who takes that position should get
out of office or his constituents should
kick him out, or, as Mr. Roosevelt
said of the government of Egypt, "If
England will not administer the laws
there, she should get out and make
room for some power that wilt insure
peace and safety to its citizens or to
the natives of Egypt." If all of the
sheriffs would do their duty as earn
estly and zealously aa the few reve
nue officials there would not be an
illicit distillery in the state of North
Carolina, in my opinion. However I
am glad tobe able to Bay that, in
many instances, the sheriffs seem to
be doing their duties in this particu
lar, though I regret to say that the
information from many counties ia di
rectly the contrary."

FAMOCB MERIWETHER CA.1
Death of June R. Branch ud the
Charge It Involved.
The most famous case of hazlnf In
the history of the Naval Academy
was what Is known as tha "Meri
wether case, " so called, on account of
the ftst fight between Midshipman
Minor Meriwether and Midshipman
James R Branch. As s result of
this Bght It was alleged that Branch
received Injuries from which he died
on Nov. 7, 1905. an Meriwether was
court-martialed on three charges,
via., manslaughter, violation of the
third clause of the Eighth Article for
the government of the navy, aud eon
duct to the prejudice of good order
and discipline.
Meriwether was acquitted of the
first charge, but found guilty of the
second, which was that he Insulted
and subsequently aaaulted a fellow
midshipman, and also of the third
clause, to the prejudice of good or
der and discipline. In regard to the
charges of manslaugtiler It was
stated by the medical witnesses that
the Injuries alleged to have caused
Branch's death might have been
caused by a fall, several having oc
curred during the fight. Meriweth
er was sentenced to be reprlmani ed
and confined to the limits of the
naval academy for a period of one
year.
At Klgnon'i.
Many American visitors to Paris
are acquainted at Blgnon's. a restau
rant where no prices were set down
on the bill of fare. The guest ha'l
the artistic satisfaction of dining in
tgi.orance of what the the expense
would be. but he was very likely to
discover when he received his hill,
that Ignorance la. Indeed, bliss
A stranger dining there In April
ordered a melon.
""What!" he exclaimed, when his
bill was presented to him ' Thirty
francs for a melon' You are Jok
ing" "Monsieur.'' said Hlgnon. "If you
can find me three or four at the
same price. 1 will buy them."
"Fifteen francs for a peach!" said
a Russian prince, on another occa
sion. "They must be very scarce."
"It Isn't the peaches (that are
scarce, your highness. It Is prince."
replied Blgnon
"Monsieur Blgnon. a red herring
at two and a half francs! ho t that
exorbitant?" asked another custom
er. "It Is In your Interest, monsieur.
My prices are the barrier I hae es
tablished between classes. Why do
you come here? To be among your
selves. If I change my prices the
house would be Invaded tnd vol
would all leave
Another patron complained of a
sauce. "Did you dine here last
evening?" asked Blgnon.
"No."
"Ah, that Is the trouble! You
spoiled your taste in some other res
taurant." Breaking the Steers.
During an Old Home Week cele
bration In a small town in New
Hampshire there were present a
learned Judge from a Western city, a
professor from Boston and a United
States Senator Grave and austere
of manner, as became their age and
honors, they addressed each other
by the titles which belonged to their
several stations. Rut they had been
schoolmates, and when the Senator
told a story of school-days the ac
cumulated ice of forty years thawed
In a burst of laughter, and they
were John and Bill and Horace once
more. The Delineator repeats one
of their stories:
"Bill, do you remember breaking
the steers?" laughed Horace.
"Now that's between you and me.
Horace."
"No secrets here." said John. "Out
with It!"
"One summer one of Bill's steers
got mired In the swamp and was kill
ed. BUI wasn't going to mUs the
fun of breaking the steers, so the
next winter he yoked himself up with
the one that was left. I met them
coming down over the cruBt like
Sam Hill. Bill yelled between (asps,
"Stop us! Stop us! We're running
away! I cornered them In an angle
of the wall. As soon as Bill got
breath enough, he said, 'For good
ness' saks, Horace, unyoke the other
steer!' "
Reforming the Head

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
I here is only one way lo cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition 01 the mucous lin
ing of the Eustchian Tube. When this
lube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, aud when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
an be taken out and this tube restord
to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroved forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but nn inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
