George L. Flanders of Albany, N. .,Y is the pre siding officer, and John M. Stahl of Chicago the secretary of the congress. Owing to the large attendance of reg ularly accredited delegates It was found necessary to exclude the general pub lic from today's opening sessions, which were devotedto addresses of welcome and responses and the work, of- organ izing the congress, The roll call by Secretary Stahl showed the attendance to be the largest in the history of the congress.

The Amer ican Humane society has a large mem bership all over the United States, and its annual meetings are well attended, interesting affairs. ! The subject of the memorial fountain to Walter Cushman was taken up, and the treasurer reported that there was a sufficient fund in hand to warrant a consideration of designs with a view to purchase. Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Erdman were selected as a committee to obtain designs for the fountain, to be submitted at the next meeting. I It was suggested that meanwhile there might be some persons who would add to the fund already collected if it were known that the project was soon to be put into execution. George Erd man, the secretary and treasurer of the society, will be pleased to receive any contributions, or they may be person ally left at the office of the Gazette. The president reported a number of cases investigated recently and action taken. A pile) of letters containing complaints was evidence that S. P. C. A. work is known. Unfortunately, as Mr. Lockwood said, many persons are so extremely modest that they do not sign their names to complaints, and therefore it is often impossible to obtain witnesses when it is desirable to enforce the law against cruelty. matters to receive attention are the interoceanic canal, national irrigation, reciprocity and its effect on the, agri cultural interests, effect of present in sular (possessions on the agriculture of the United States, preservation of for est and fruit trees, injurious insect pests and fungi, postal reforms partic ularly affecting the farmer, mutual re lations of northern and southern farm ers, dairy interests of the United States as related to the markets of the world,, farm products in the mar kets of the world, the labor problem from the farmer's standpoint.

MnilAITAIIl AMI! 01 AIM DIPC1MT ULNA YIOIA ntUtriILT i Denver, Col., Oct. 7 -The annua, Superior Court is Often hAhi- psred by One or Both Parties not Being Ready, to the Wor rimenr. of the Judge Yes teaday's Business. In the Superior court yesterday the case of A. M. Field against the South ern Railway company was called, and left open ointil this morning on account of the absence !of xjertafe witnesses for the defendant.. This is an action on account of damages to certain goods in transitu. The plaintiff claims negli gence on the part of the defendant company. "This allegation the latter denies, and that is the question for the Jury to determine. Counsel for the railway agreed to go tp trial this morning, whether the wit nesses were in attendance or not, but stated that there was every reason to believe they would be here. It is ex pected that the hearing of the case will Barnard appear for the plaintiff and Merrick appear for the plaintiff and Tucker & Murphy for the defendant. The case of Mattie L. Clark against W. W. Barnard, assignee, was called for trial. The plaintiff announced readiness and the defendant asked for a continuance on account of the ab- I sence of a certain witness, whose testi mony, as he alleged, was material to his defense. The case was continued. J. C. Martin and Jesse Starnes appear for the plaintiff and Merrick & Bar nard for the defendant. The case of JET. A. Lance against Washington Butler was continued on motion supported by affidavits of the defendant. This case has 'been pending in the courts since 1895: It has hereto fore been tried but the jury not agree ing a mistrial 'was had. The suit in volves about $1500, being, the alleged value of the stock of goods which the plaintiff claims was his property and unlawfully converted hy the defendant to his own use. The defendant insists that he bought the goods from certain parties who claimed to be owners thereof and that he owes the plaintiff nothing on account of that transaction. In this case Judge H. B. Carter and J. S- Adams appear for the plaintiff and Jones & Jones for the defendant. In all law suits the allegations of the complaint and the denials in the an swer count for nothing the result of the litigation depends upon the facts and law ol the case. Apparently Judge Councill has been worried that so few cases are ready for trial. He has been both ready and anxious to try all cases on the calendar but for one reason or another litigants, in m'any cases, have not been ready for trial. psonais. Dr. Carl V.

Youngsters mill get married. Last summer during a series of revival services at Skyland two youngsters were noticed going home holding each other toy the hand. The neighbors all thought it only a childish freak. Mr. Oarson Oarland ith'e young gentleman in question de cided, although he had just reached the youthful age of 77 years that Holy Writ was right when it said: "It is not good for man to live alone."

The final outcome was Mr. Car land at the youthful age of 77 and Miss Lizzie Harris at the still more youthful age of 60 were united a few days ago in the bonds of holy wedlock.

In this state alone nearly $3,500,000 is spent during the racing season, from April 15 to Nov. 15, to maintain the six racing associations that deal in the 'sport of kings." To own a race track at the present time Is better and more profitable than to have a diamond mine. The "thirty days" grace to meet bills is unknown. Everything Is spot cash, and the money rolls Into the treasury in a continuous stream from the open ing day to the close of each meeting. In order to secure this golden flow all that, is required are a few acres of landi a grand stand, a betting ring and a fence. The public furnish the rest. The different racing associations in this state are becoming enormously wealtLv. They are required to pay into the state treasury a tax of 5 per cent on the gros receipts. The revenue is so great, howtver, they hardly notice this. Each association pays 'ts, stockhold ers 10 per cent on their holdings. Twenty and 25 per cent could easily bo paid, from the amount cleared at each mectiiig, but the directors of each club think it advisable not to declare too big a dividend, and the surplus is in vested in gilt edge securities.

In the city of Asheviilp i1" bss attained an unprecedented success and enters the eer- onth year of its life with the largest reading clientele ever poBEessfed by a newspaper published in Asheville. Every intelligent resident of this growing metropolis or thb mountains reads the Daily Gazette, end it is the news paper read by all the visitors to the city.QThe most promi nent and enterprising business firms of the city are patron of its advertising columns. The News Service of the Gazette is unsurpassed by any daily newspaper published for West 6rn North Ctro'ina readers. It is complete in all that inte rests our people. To a full day and night telegraph service of the news of the Tvorld is added a full service of State news by telegraph from the Daily Gazette's special represent ative at Kaleigh, covering all topics political, social, religious and industrial, accurately, completely and interestingly ; a special Washington service, adapted especially to the inte rest of North Carolina readers, especially those in the Ga zette's own exclusive territory, the representative ol the Daily Gazette at Ihe National Capital being one of the Gazette's own home effice staff detailed for the work during the ses sions of Congiess, and at other times a North Carolinian con versant with the topics and ne ws sources at Washington that excite the interests of Gazette readers. The Daily Gazette IS A SUBSCBIBElt TO The Unrivalled Press News Service of the Laf fan News Bureau, (New lorkJSun) ana every topic of the world's news is not onJyfully covered in the telegraphic service furnished ex clusively to the Gazette in Western North Carolina, but is . most interestingly treated and ite accuracy and reliability commends it strongly ahead of any press news service fur nished to the daily newspapers. In all the Western North Carolina towns the gazette nap specical correspondents and the events especiallv of the mountain region, receive their due attention in its news columns. Editorially, the Gazette advocates the progressive poli cies of the Republican national party.- It stands uncom promisingly in opposition to dishonest elections, corrupt political combinations and extravagance in the administra tion of the affairs of this state, producing unnecssary tax burdens. The Gazette favors every movement that looks to the moral and educational betterment of the state and to a promotion of industrial progress. The Gazette looks upon the building of good roads, the extension of the free public school system, and the rural free delivery of the mails as important factors in the upbuilding of the state. SEI-wE EEY GAZETTE. Duringthe past twelve months the Weekly Gazette ha& made notable progress in extending its circulation through out the state, from the mountains to the ocean. It is now supplanted by the Semi-Weekly Gazette, filled to the brim with tlw history and comments on the events that are of the. greatest interest to its readers, with much well selected miscellaneous intter, reading for farmers, etc. It aims chiefly at a rtiral ciiculation, and for the countrj people of North Carolina there is uc paper that gives equal value for tne rate of its annual subscription. Club rates for several copies of the Daily or Weekl) Gazette, or either in combination with other newspapers will be furnished on application. Publishing Comp y? Asheville, N.
