.She is- clothed, fur Ibis dance, in what
has l,t t n described, both in New York
and London, as Klartllngly gauzy ma
terial. The situation could hardly be
worse l'idy Constance has been ad
vised neVi'P to appear befi.re the killu'

told of tile royal command. Who

This is a point that will be very great
ly illumined by a liirtber perusal til
tli. dispatches:
"The Icing formerly was frieinlls
toward l.atly Constance anil atlmired
her athletic irt,v,ss. He tirst became

llie manner of the Salome of history:
"Sir. ihe mo the head of Sir Krnest

"Sir Ernest Cassel Is the king's
l'in;'ii ial atl iser. and, although un
popular 'eiierally. is a favorite of bis
majesty. The king did not relish th,
joke and. although he s-'int tl to nvir
look it. it rankled.
"I.ady Constance was advised not to
dance in the balls and was warned
rhat roval disfavor would follow, but
!!ie pi-r-isted."
It will be seen, therefore, that the
offenso i f latlv Constaiu-e is not to he
fountl in tho Iitiblness, or porous char
acter of her dress. Ijidy Constance
might at this moment he giving her
barefoot dance in the royal presence
bad she not made the fatal mistake
of being a party to a Joke which his
majesty did ru.t "relish." She simply
erred, as countless thousands have
erred, in an attempt to giiage tin
Finnish sense of humor.

to cay torn, when a story from the
Jackson county vicinity, that is more
than a prosaic recital, comes into the
office. Hence we present today the
story of the man living near ihe Jack

chipper at 104 years of age, and "does
not show his age in anyway", with
some liegref of misgiving.
Warner Van Norden, of a New
York trust company, was recently
robbed in the vicinity of one of the
principal hotels, by two women who
picked his pockets. The highway
women got J2S.000, which gives one
an Idea of what thoso New York trust
companies are doing to the people.

A lo n Meat Boycott.
FtHlor of The Gazette-News
I wish a few words through your
most valuable paper regarding the
course taken by the labor unions of
Ashevllle, and, with their permission.
to make a few suggestions regarding
the success of their proposed light
against high prices of meat. Judging
from several editorials that have ap
peared the last few dnys, discussing
the possibility of the packem return
ing to the present prevailing price of
meat after the meat boycott through
out the country has subsided, this, of
course is possible, yet not probable, as
the future prices depend almost en
tirely upon the success of the fight
now on. In case they (the packers)
should disregard the Investigation,
etc., providing we are successful, and
return to the present exorbitant prices,
what would prevent the public from
again resorting to the boycott The
expense encountered In making the
fight. Is of no consequence In com
parison lo the results. One object Ir
to wen re the majority, If not all, of
our citizen' consent to abstain fron
meat for the specified tim. Why
not appoint a delegation to canvass
the home throughout the city, Induc
ing those In favor of the fight, yet
not Inclined to assist, to enlist with
the already growing movement? I am
sure, that their effort aril meet with
success In any way they (th labor
unions) may undertake to gain theli
end. There are quit a few of us
who will observe lent I see no oh.
lection to Including the few remalnlnn
1 h ,t .h. . 7 ot"w",n.c

concluding, I wish the already Inter

Oh, what shall I do?
For a nroment ther waa death-llkr
silliness in th house, when a volcf
from the gdllery suddenly called out:
JOHN BOLDEN GASE
T
The Negro Was Given a Hearing This
Morning and Bound Over to
the Superior Court.
James Franklin, alias John Bolden,
Ihe negro "check Hasher" who has
operated here rather extensively dur
ing the past ten Cays or two weeks,
was given a preliminary hearing be
fore Substitute Police Justice Junius
(1. Adams in city police court this
morning and bound to Superior court
in five counts in bond of $100 euch.
When the cases were called for
hearing this morning J. Frassier Glenu,
representing the "check flasher,"
waived examination and the introduc
tion of testimony and gave no indica
tion of his line of defense. Frank
Carter and John A. Nichols, whose
names were signed to checks, were
tailed and testilied alter glancing at
the check, that the writing was not
theirs. The agent for Philip S. Henry
testilied that Mr. Henry was abroad.
He stated that the signature on the
t hick bearing Mr. Henry s name was
not in Mr. Henry's handwriting. Mrs.
Foster testilied that the negro, Frank
lin or Bolden, came to the place of
business conducted by her husband
and herself and tendered the check
with Mr. Henry's name to it and ask
ed that it be cashed, offering to buy
a. bill of groceries. Mrs. Foster took
the check to ber husband who, being
suspicious, asked Mrs. Foster to tele
phone and ask if Mr. Henry had given
a check on the date named on the
fat f the paper. The reply was
that Mr. Henry was in Italy and that
no check bail been given. The police
lieadiiuarlers were notified and in a
lew moments Police Captain Lyda ar
rived and placed the negro under ar
n st. The defense staled that it would
not introduce evidence and asked that
bond be lixed In each separate case.
Judge Adams fixed It at 100 In each
of the live cases.
The negro Holdcn is a black-faced,
sllm-reatured man, with apparently
no more intelligence than the law al
lows. That he is a keen fellow, how
ever. Is evidenced by his operations.
That he worked his game single-handed
is also the opinion of the officers,
who have thoroughly Investigated the
affair. The checks drawn were done
in a most careful and accurate man
ner: every worti was correciiy speiieu,
the names signed to the checks cor
rectly written, and while the different
checks were written in a different
hand there was similarity in the writ
ing, noticeably in the formation of
the letter "y" in the word January,
the letter having a peculiar tall or
curve. It Is the opinion of some of
the officers that the negro has oper
ated in other places; that this is not
his lirst attempt. He has been in
,jhevllle, it is alleged, but a fee
weeks, but evidently long enough to
know certain citizens of the town and
further to know Just where they did
their banking business.
The rases agajiist liolden will he
called in Superior court probably the
lirst week of court, which convenes
