PGSTM ASTER ARRESTED.
He is $1,000 Short in His Money
Order Account The Office is in
Onslow County.
Newborn, July 23. F. X. Davis,
postoffice inspector, had the postmas- j
ter at Belgrade, Onslow county, ar- J
rested and brought before Charles B.
Hill, United States Commissioner
here, this morning. Mr. Davis found
the postmaster, , F. C. Henderson,
short in his money order account
over $1,000. This is a very small i
office and was only made a money
order office last January. Besides
being the postmaster, Henderson is
president of the Belgrade High
School and Business College, presi
dent of the Belgrade Stock Company
and editor of the Belgrade Courier.
It seems that most of the money or
ders issued were for the postmaster
himself.
Commissioner Hill bound Hender
son over for his appearance for trial
at the next term of the district court.
He gave bond for $1,000.
NEW ENTERPRISE-
Steamship Line Between 'Norfolk
and Cuba to be Established.
Norfolk, Va., July 24. A steam
ship line between Norfolk and the
Island of Cuba is the latest enterprise
for this city and on August 1 a regu
lar service will be established.
The first schedule will be a month
ly one and this will be made shorter
after the business increases and war
rants the doubling or even the trip
ling of the service. A movement has
hi font for some time t to es-
tablish trade relations between the
Southern and Southeastern States and
the Islands of Cuba and Porto Rico.
Colonel William Lamb, of Norfolk,
is one of the promoters of the enter
prise. KING'S WOUND HEALING.

rapidly. His majesty was able to be
moved from his couch to bis wheeled
chairs for a few hours yesterday."
DENIES THE CHARGE.
Jewels Pawned by Strong at May
Yohe's Request For Her Own
Benefit.
London, July 24. Putnam Brad
lee Strong, of New York, arrived in
London this afternoon with the St.
Paul's passengers and went to a pri
vate West End Hotel. Former Cap
tain Strong, in conversation with a
representative of the Associated
Press this evening, said he had
pawned about $8,400 worth of May
Yohe's jewelry at her request and
for her benefit after they returned
from Japan and that she had receiv
ed the entire proceeds from him at
the time the jewels were pawned..
"I have never had one dollar
of May Yohe's money and no person
knows it better than she," he con
tinued. "The money on which I
am now travelling was received from
the sale of my library and of this
fact May Yohe is also aware. I have
done many foolish and most unwise
things, but I have not been a crimi
nal. "As to my future movements, I do
not think they should interest any
one greatly, but I will say that I
propose living quietly and endeav
oring to redeem my good name.
"As to the story that I rifled her
safety deposit box, that is absurd on
Its face. May Yohe never had any
safety deposit box that I know of,
and if she had one any banker could
tell you that without her authority
I could never have load access to it.
I had one in my own name at the
Knickerbocker Trust Company, and
I suppose my family has opened it,
as I gave them full authority to do
so.
SUFFRAGE DECISION.
A Louisiana Court Sustains the New
Constitution.
New Orleans, July 28. The
Louisiana district court to-day do- 1
cided the case of David L. Ryanes, j
the negro who brought suit to be
registered in order to test the suffrage
provisions of the new Louisiana con- (
stitution. The money for the suit j
was provided by negroes by popular j
subscription, in the hope of having j
declared null and unconstitutional
the new suffrage system which dis
franchises most of them.
Ryanes' case was taken as a test
The judge decided against the negro,
holding that even if the "grand
father" clause, which admits illit
erate whites without property to suf
frage, is unconstitutional, it does not
affect the case of Ryanes, as one of
the sections ot a constitution may be
invalid without destroying the whole
constitution. Ryanes' right to vote
he said, was affected in no way by
the "grandfather" clause, and there
fore the court could not pass on that
question, which is tne only doubtful
provision in the suffrage law.
The negroes will carry the case
the United State supreme court.

EARTH AGAIN HEAVES.
A Tidal Wave Sweeps One Side of
the Island. The Government
Still Feeding Six Thous
and People.
Kingstown, St. Vincent, July 28.
The Soufriere volcano has been
slightly in eruption twice since last
Monday. A severe earthquake shock
accompanied by a large tidal wave
affected the north point of the island,
washing a fire-swept estate. No
further damage was done.
Many of the people, both of the
wealthier classes and laborers, are
leaving the island, fearing distaster.
The government is still feeding 6,000
persons. The settlement of refugees
in huts on acquired lands in safe lo
calities is progressing.
The Panama Canal repair ship
Newington which is engaged in
work eighteen miles north of St.
Vincent, reports that the depth of
the sea there has increased to a mile
and a quarter. Attempts to pick up
the cable have been futile, owing to
unfavorable weather.

Life has its burdens, and to many

WOMEN AND THE SCHOOLS.
Youth's Companion July 24.
Associations of women in towns
and cities for the improvement of the
schools are common, and they have
done much to make school lif? more
attractive. It has remained for the
women of North Carolina to organize
a State association for the betterment
of the schoolhouses, and to plan a
campaign in which the importance
of attractive school buildings is to be
set forth to the parents in every
county in the State and in every
school district in every county.
A committee of women has been
appointed to distribute literature
bearing on the subject, and to exhibit
pictures showing that unattractive
school grounds may be made pleas
ant and picturesque by planting trees,
flowers and shrubbery, and how the
barren walls of the school room may
be adorned with inexpensive pictures.
Southern women are noted for their
ability to bring things to pass, as, in
deed, all women are, so North Car
olina ought to be noted in a few years
for the charm of the rural school
grounds and schoolhouses.
It is in the South that one would
expect the movement for more at
tractive schoolhouses to be popular,
for the percentage of native-born
Americans there is larger than in any
other section of the country. But
interest in the subject is not confined
to the South; in the North and West
and East also there are thousands of
pleasant schools, the pride of the
neighborhood which supports them.
The interest which the mothers
have taken in the matter is largely
responsible for the adornment of the
barren structures that were thought
good enough a generation or two ago,
or for their displacement by com
modious buildings tastefully decorat
ed and fitted with modern sanitary
appliances. ..

WHITE HOUSECHILDREN
Facts About Mrs. Roosevelt and
Her Little Ones.
GIVES THEM PEES0NAL ATTENTIOH
First Woman of the Land Did Not
Hesitate to Scrub Necks of Two 1
Who Did Not Suit Not Above Darn.
1"K Stocking of the Yonngrsters.
Children Full of High Spirits.
Already Mrs. Roosevelt Is an object
of the most earnest attention, writet
the Washirsrton correspondent of th
New York Press. It is agreed she has
self poise and a gracious adaptation to
her surroundings, and she is meeting
the demands of her exalted station
with a gentle suavity and the peculiar
ly graceful consideration afforded by a
woman of tact and breeding.
An intimate friend says Mrs. Roose
velt would delight the good old Dutch
housewives of New Amsterdam.
Homely tasks and maternal r dutie
which would revolt the modern soci
ety woman are as natural to her as the
quiet manner of greeting a guest or
disposing of a duty.
She is said to look after the ward
robes of the members of her family,
finds time to superintend the educa
tion of her children and withal nevei
omits a social obligation, although she
does not seek pre-eminence as a soci
ety woman. It is said she is not above,
darning the stockings of the young
sters, and. with a healthy and boister
ous family of little ones such as hers,
this would be no infrequent task.
The Roosevelt children are full ol
life and high spirits. No prank is too
daring and no youthful game or exer
cise beneath their dignity. Their
mother is with them as much as possi
ble, and therefore she Is often called
npon to repair damages to clothing or
else to incur abnormal bills for their
youthful apparel.
The same friend says that to speak of
Mrs. Roosevelt is to tell about her chil
dren. There are five of them Theo
dore junior, fourteen, a sturdy lad, as
much like his father as a little elephant
resembles a big one. He has the same
manners, a like taste for outdoor exer
cises and sports and looks the world
in the face from an equally healthy and
florid countenance. He wears glasses,
like his father, and he sails in the same
ready, frank way. Theodore Junior ac
companied his mother to Washington
n the present Journey. The other chil
dren were left under the care of their
uncle, James Roosevelt, in Oyster Bay.
When Mrs. Roosevelt and her family
came to Washington last March to at
tend the inaugural ' ceremonies, there
was not room in the Cowles home to
accommodate Vice President Roosevelt,
his wife, five children and their nurses.
Consequently friends took some of the
youngsters as guests. On the morning
of March 4, when all were marshaled
to attend the official proceedings at the
capitol, a mishap delayed the arrival of
two of the children. The carriages
were held at the Cowles residence for
several minutes awaiting their appear
ance. Upon their arrival Mrs. Roosevelt
took the precaution to look them over
and was not satisfied with the work of
their temporary nurses. She made a
sign to their regular nurse, who shortly
appeared with a well soaped toweL
Mrs. Roosevelt herself took this and,
already having opened their collars,
ggtve each a good scrubbing and ad
Justed their neckwear again in a very
few ininutes.
Observers say the little fellows did
not appreciate this progra mme . more
kindly than children are wont, and
they sputtered and made faces at the
ordeal, but stood up to it like little men
and did xiot betray the slightest inclina
tion to cry or resist. Their behavior
was old fashioned in its docility to ma
ternal discipline. When her rapid la
bors were completed, Mrs. Roosevelt
quietly gave her orders for the dispo
sition of the family and resumed her
position as the guest of honor in the
party as calmly as if babies and hoi
den boys were no part of her cares in
this world.
This little incident Is characteristic
of Mrs. Roosevelt. When .necessary,
she brings the youthful statesman to
order without fuss or bother and does
not ruffle herself or her guests. The
Roosevelt children were vivacious and
far from being-curled darlings or little
Lord Fauntleroys. Only one nurse and
a governess are provided for them.
Their mother, however, is a host In
herself as a material manager, and
ler commands are never disputed.
It Is said that before meeting Mr.
Roosevelt this home loving woman was
rather inclined to shim courtly atten
tions, but her conduct and example as
a wife and mother are the admiration
of bar friends. - '
