At the Sunday school in St. John church in th's city Sun day afternoon the subject of the lesson was 'Absalom's Rebel lion. After going over and telling of the ambition of which Absalom was possessed and of his subtle, beguiling roan nerof stealing the hearts of the people and stirring up strife ajad arraying the sub jects agaist their King, one of the teachers aked the class: "Of what modern character does Ab salom remind you?" A bright young chap at the end of the bench arose to bis ft.ee without hesitation and exclaimed "Mar ion Butler." The following concerning the satchel that was stolen by a negro from Mrs. R.'A. Watts just as the excursion train was leaving.Wil mington last Tuesday night was written by herself and explains the theft and recovery of the watch : Mr. Andrew Flanner's watch, which is a fine, double-case, stem winder and cost $75 at wholesale, and was in Mrs. Watts' satchel, when it was stolen on Tuesday night last has been recovered in Wilmington. The main spring was broken, and it was being brooghthere to be repaired when it was stolen, : The negro was try ing to sell it in Wilmington on Wednesday night.

R. ALLEN Elected Chairman of the Democratic County Executive Committee. At a meeting of the Democratic County Executive Committee held in this city Saturday, the primaries were called for the 19th of Sep tember, and the county convention was ordered called for the 26th of Sep tern bei. " At this meeting Chairman O' Berry tendered.,, his resig nation, the acceptance 1 of which was at fistt refused, but Mr. O'Berry was so firm in bis de termination to resign and cited as his only reason for taking this step his inability to devote the proper attention to the important position by reason of the demands that were made upon his time as president of the Goldsboro Lumber Company, the committee finally decided to accept the nomination with ex pressions of regret by every mem ber at losing such a wise counsel lor. The news of Mr. O' Berry's res ignation will no doubt be received with regret by his many friends and admirers and the excellent ser vice rendered by him to the party in the last campaign will not soon be forgotten. He was re-elected about two months ajo, contrary to his wishes, but it was only recently that he found it necessary to re sign on account of the urgent need of his presence at his business. In casting about for a leader for the Democratic hosts of Wayne the name of Hon. W. R. Allen was mentioned and his election was at once made without a dissenting voice. It is needless to say that Judge Allen is eminently qualified for the position. His Democ racy and patriotic sentiments are unquestioned, Almost every one is familiar with his -past record in the ranks of the Democratic party. His able opinions have been eagerly sought after by political leaders and his individ uality and force of charactej draw to him all with whom he comes in -eoatact. Whelher.on. the hustings expounding the political issues of the day to the masses, in the hall of the State Legislature as chairman of the Judiciary Committee or clothed in the ermine of the Jistrict j jdge his deliberations have always teen marked by wisdom and sound judgment. With such a man to direct the movements of the Democratic hosts in Wayne County, the lov ers of honest government and white supremacy need have no fears. We shall win a victory in Wayne County without fail this year. William and Li. Charlotte Observer. There are two gentlemen whom we would like to see in Charlotte this year and from whom it would bo agreeable to hear speeches from the tail-end of a train, even if they could not stop off and see the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde pendence sign in the public square. These gentlemen are Messrs. Wm. J. Bryan and Li Hung Chang. Neither of them is as much of a jay as a great many people think. Bryan's acceptance speech has fixed his status as a man of ability in the minds of all those who are ' fair- minded and capa -ble of grasping it. The trouble is that many others have 'not read this speech and could not under stand il if they did. A look at the man would give them a bet ter conception of him than they will ever get otherwise. As for Li Hung Chang, well, if the people could hear him talk awhile the foreign mission collection would'nt'be'as heavy"af terwards, but an enlarged 'view . would be gotten of Chinese character and capacity. - If they had Sin oppor tunity to size up one of the men who gives direction to : Chinese thought, they would fjunderstarid better why it is that "it costs a million dollars apiece' to convert bitsamen.

Bob Fitzsimmon's Home New York, Aug. 22.- Robert Fitzsimmons, the pugilist, arrived here from Europe to-day. He has not changed his opinion of Cor bett, who, he Says, is !difty." Fitz also says he is willing to wager any amount of Thoney that he could stop Sharkey in four rounds. The pugilist arrived here this morning on the steamship Paris, of the American Line, which reached her pier shortly af fer 8 o'clock. The fighter looked in the best of condttion and said his health was excellent. No man on Lourd the steamer was more fashionably dressad than Corbett's rival. He wore a black Prince .Ibert coat, black vest, light col red trousers and black silk hat. He carried a heavy black, cane and a big diamond sparkled ina- white silk necktie. His shoes were of patent leather. At first the fa mous pugilist was, inclined not to be talkative, but he could not re strain himself when the name of Corbett was first mentioned. The first question pitt to Fitz was -whether or not he was ready for-a fight. I will fight any man in the world," he said, "barring those fighters whom I have already met." "How about Corbett?'' he was asked. "Let him go and get a reputa tiou., I have told him that be fore. I am champion'now and will dictate terms just as he told me once to get a reputation." When told that Corbett was in the city jth champion did not appear at least interested. "You will not avoid a meet ing with him?" I inquired. 'Most certainly not. I haye not the tear of any such meeting, can whip him - easily. In fact, pitty him. He is Mafty.' I'll drive him crazy if I meet him." Fitzsimmons kept up his con versation while superintending the gathering up of the many articles of baggage. He said he had no definate arrangements yet made for the future, and Could not tell what he would do until the arrival of Martin-Julian, his manager, who is expected to be over on the oext teamer. He says he would stop at the Hotel Bartholdi until Julian's arrival. Mrs. Fitzsimmois and the baby rame over- with -her hus band. Mrs. Fitzsimmons will probably go at ot?co "to some summer resort. When asked as to the opinion of. Sharkey, Fitz said: "I dont think 'Tfruch of him from what I ? have read. . I will bet any ' amount of ' money that I will stop him . in four rounds. He may be a strong fel low and that's all." Fitzsimmons gave a scientific exhibitoYiat a concert oh 1 the 7 steamer on Thursday evening. vHe"- said be punched the bag, and that thje ladies on toard seemed to like the exhibition very much.

Mr Cleveland has Accepted It 1 he Georgian, Who is for Bryan and the Organized Democracy, to leave the Cabinet- - . "Washington, Aug. 22. For some time rumors have appeared in print on the probability of the early resignation of Secretary Hoke Smith. There is no doubt that h has resigned and the rumor is that his resignation has been accepted. For some days past shipments have been made to At lanta of his books and papers, and it is learned that he has .declined to set any departmental business to be heard by him for a date later than this month. It can finally be assured that his succef sor will be in charge in a short while. After the nomination of Bryan and Sewall, Secretary Smith was the only member of the cabinet who announced a purpose to sup port the ticket. This action, on his part, while.not in any way af fecting the personal relations be tween himself and the other mem bers of the cabinet led him to offer his resignation. The secretary declines to dis -cuss the subject in any way. . Ever since the rumor of the probable resignation cf Secret tarj Smith there has been more or less gossip concerning his successor, and at the interior de partment the name of John M. Reynolds, the second assistant secretary of the treasury depart men t, has been mentioned freely for the place. Mr. Reynolds has made an ex cellent executive officer. He has had charge of the difficult work of review of the pension decision of the pension bureau and has given general 'sa'isfac tion. He is a native of Penn sylvania. ; " The new cabinet officer will have only a little more than six months to serve, and it is regard ed as probably that Mr. Cleve land would prefer to till the va cancy from the department rather thin by appointing some one who would be new to the work, which involves acquaintance with La great variety of matters affecting directly the public welfare. The lessee of Secretary Smith's residence on West Peachtree St. has been notified to give, up the property ? by September 5 20, as the secretary wishes to make some repairs on the building and also desires a place in which to sore his effects "which are how in Washington. It was stated that Mr. Smith was on the point of breaking up housekeeping in Washington. Raleigh News and Observer: Dockery will come out for the Populist next' week. If he does," says Maj. H. L.

NO STYLE ABOUT.BRYAN. Has a Smile for Krcryone, a Joke for tlie Small 1 Joy and a Kind Word for all. The daily life of the Bryans at Upper Red Hock is JefEersonian in its simplicity, and 11 the peo pie should elect him President they may . expect real Democratic life at the White House. The Bryans are living at the; home of Edward Perrine, the village storekeeper, and a Re publican of considerable local importance. The house, a pretty, but modest vine covered struc ture, is opposite the village hotel. A broad veranda is reach ed by high steps. When Mr. Bryan and his secretary are not at work, he and his wife are found with group of friends on the veranda or on the lawn. Tbe Upper Red Hookers, as the people here call themselves, expected that Mr. Bryan would conceal himself from them, ex cept when 'he was met by dele gations with long written ad dresses of welcome. To thr as tonishment of these people Mr. Bryan comes, and goes among them with less dignity than is shown - by, the Justice of the Peace. Farmers drive miles to see him. Yesterday five arrived from Pine Plains. "Where's Mr. Bryau?" said the leader of the party to Uncle Martin Lasher, the village land lord. "SetthV yander on Perrine's piazz ir, said Uncle Martin. "Druv fifteen mile, and reckon ed we'd like ter get a peep at hirflj anyhow," said the man. "Peep at nothin'; walk right over thar an' shake with him an' his wife. . Ain't no style 'bout himVsaid Uncle Martin. The farmers walked to the road and gezid at the house. until Mr. Bryan walked out and, with a broad, open smile, greeted them. Within tvo minutes they were chatting in a familiar way upon common topics. Mr. Bryan told humorous stories, of which he has agoodly store, made inquiries that showed actual interest in their affairs and' wrote his auto graph for them. - When the farmers returned, one said to Uncle-Martin: ;T11 bb darned if I don't like him." Uncle Martin is an old mile stone ia the history tf Dutchess county. He is proprietor, bar tender day and night clerk and man of-all-work at the only hotel. . On Tuesday a carryall filled with a picnic party stopped be fore the house and , hurrahed. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, bareheaded, walked , f 1 om the house. - Mr. Bryan stood on the steps of the carryall while the young people reached forward and shook hands with him. "Are you girls ail for free sil ver?" he asked. "Yes, every one of us." "Good!" .. ... . - Mrs. Bryan stepped. into the carryall and shook hands,? while her; husband stopped to joke with One of Jihe"tnany small boys who I have learned to regard the can didate as. a good fellow. ...... t A odd times he is found strol ling' about the streets, '-stopping alodg the way to jokfe with 'chil dreta or chat seriously upon cam paign issues! He drops' over, .to the village hpteiiand tn ixes. with the people., The suggestion that Jihere. js a lack, of dig nityf in this easy, lam tuar me ui ajrresiueuuai candidate never occurs to one who sees it. The reception of .the people at Upper Red Hook to Mr. and Mrs. Bryan on the night of their ar rival was really delightful. About one thousand people were in the village square and not a police man among them. The only strained feature of the affair was the effort of Judge Ellseffer to go down - in local history as the man who welcomed Bryan. The "Judge" read pompously a long scroll of welcome. The restraint was iustantly re moved when Mr. Bryan began to speak. Unembarrassed by man uscript, he talked in a plain, jasy manner, as though address ing his owu neighbors. H writes hundreds of ,ato graphs each day on curds, which are sent to correspondents from all sections of tho country. The village small boy who wants a Bryan button from Mr. Bryan's own hand goes to him and gets it. With the button goes a cheery smile. The inevitable snap-shot man is amazed at his welcome. The mere suggestion that he wans a picture is quite sufficient. Mr. Bryan is always ready to pose for it. ' On Tuesday he was the picture of geniality and fun at a fishing party - on Twin L-kkes. He was not hunting for votes. It was a pleasure trip puce and simple. Mr. . Bryan was determined to catch a fish, but luck was against him, ana he did not even get a bite. Mrs Bryan caught 'the only fish of the day, but her hus- band s delight was as great as her own. The party was diiven to camp bv a sharp thunder shower. During the storm be lay on a mattress in a tent covered by a blanket, placed over him by his eversthoushtful wife. There he fell into a running stream of stories, repartee and arecdotes of personal experiences and Ne braska politics. It is said that Mr. Bryan will speak in North Carolina in Sep-tember. There is a rumor that : the American tobacco trust has said it would spend $200,000 to se cure the election of Guthrie as governor. A New Yorker named Meyer has married fourteen women without the formality of securing asingle divorce, and the author ities are now considering what to do with him.. In one of his speeches in Con gress Wm. J. Bryan used these words: "Thev call that man a staetsman whose ear is turned to catch the slightest pulsations of a pocketbook, and denounce as a demagogue any one who dares to listen to the heart beat of hu manity." - A fad borrowed, it is said. from a West Indian belle is a lemon bath, which is suDDOsed to be a ereat beautifier as well as freshener. Three or four lemons are sliced into water perhaps a half an hour before it is' used and its cosmetic and tonic virtues are thereby much in- reased. Senator Fulkiner told the truth when' he said "the people are running this campaign," There is no millionairs finance committee back of tWe Democra tic ticket and no big corpora- tions conducting a campaign of threats. The election of Bryan will be a clean victory of the people over all the power of money and influence that opluto- cracy can summon to its aid.
