The State Department is thoroughly well-informed of the length to which Great Britain, Germany, and other Euro pean powers propose to go in their ith Venezuela. Great f,... . . Britain find Germany have, in fact, j sounded the department to learn whether any objections would be made to active measures on their part to secure, the collection of debts due their citizens on account of vio lated concessions and the destruction of their property incident to the in ternal dissensions which have raged in Venezuela for several years past. The department has been extremely cautious in dealing with these in quiries, but the substance of its re plies in all cases has been set out in the declaration of President Roose velt that the United States did not construe the Monroe Doctrine to mean that it should shelter any of the American republics against the results of their own misdeeds or vio lations of international amenity. The only condition made by the Presi dent was that the punishment in flicted upon any of these South and Central American Republics by a European power must not include the seizure by that power of any American soil.' - Itch on human eared in 30 minu tes by Woolford's Sanitary Lotion.

Three Years Ago She Was Practic ally Unknown; To-Day She is at the Head of the Social Set Carried Off the Honors at the Horse Show. Wil. Dispatch. Last Friday's Nqw York Journal contained the following complimen tary reference to Mrs. Pembroke Jones, which her hosts of friends in Wilmington and all over the State will read with great pleasure and no less pride : "Cathleen Neilson, among the young girls, and Mrs. Pembroke Jones among the married women may be said to have carried off all the honors at the Horse Show if not in the ring, at any rate in the boxes and for each of them the week has been one of social triumph. "That Cathleen Neilson should be a centre of attraction, not only as a remarkably handsome girl, but like wise as the fiancee of Reggie Van derbilt, was only to be expected, for society always entertains a certain amount of sympathetic interest for lovers, especially when they happen to be endowed with millions. Love in a Fifth avenue mansion is so much more fascinating than love in a cot tage. "But the triumph of Mrs. Pem broke Jones, while equally deserved, is more surprising, owing the fact that a few years ago she was a stranger to New York, whereas she may now be regarded as one of the leaders of the lasmonaule set. lier success in i three years has been wonderful. "You must remember that it was j about that, period when she went to Newport. She had only a few friends, j She had that same Southern adapta bility. The difference was only that in her own State Mrs. Pembroke Jones, as .Miss Greene, had come from a very long line of ancestry. I j believe one of her ancestors signed the famous Declaration oi Indepen dence, and that means a great deal in the little conservative colonies of North and South Carolina and Geor gia. There the aristocracy remains as.it H-as in the Colonial days. "Mrs. Pembroke Jones had an un exceptional position in the South. The North she had to conquer. It was rather a difficult proposition, as, owing to the excellent matches made here by Southerners the Wilsons having taken in all the best that the matrimonial market afforded New port was a bit wary of pretty South ern women with sweet, cooing voices and the manner of another age that of minutes, powder and patches and chivalry. "The conquest of Newport by Mrs. Jones, however, was so sudden that the Newporters themselves hardly realized it. The shore of that his toric bay is strewn with the skele tons and debris of wrecks of social ambitions. But Mrs. Jones arrived and conquered in a season. People had hardly finished asking who she was than they were demanding and begging from friends who knew her invitations to her entertainments. "The winter before last Mrs. Pem broke Jones came to New York. She had a box at the opera. On the opening night she began modestly with Mrs. Oelrichs u a guest. To day she is absolutely one of the leaders. Her box has been the centre of attraction at the Horse Show. There you found Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, Mrs. Duncan Elliott, Mrs. Orme Wilson, Mrs. William E. Car ter, of Philadelphia, and, in fact, all the stars in the social firmament. . ,: I -"Mrs. Pembroke Jones possesses the secret of being a perfect hostess. Her success comes naturally to her, and she is the same' as she : always was." . -: - GOLDSBORO. N. C THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27. 1902.

Last evening at 6:30 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents, Captain and Mrs. Haywood Clark. 520 Mar ket street, a beautiful and impressive home wedding was solemnized, the contracting parties being' Edmund S.

O Washington, Nov. 19. Differences have arisen between the State De partment and the Colombian gov ernment which may delay an agree ment upon the terms of a canal treaty beyond the term in which it had been expected to conclude the treaty. Secretary Hay has furnished the Colombian minister, Mr. Concha, with a memorandum setting forth the position of this government, which was prepared by the secretary after he had received a similar mem orandum from Mr. Concha, defining the Colombian position. There are differences between the two which must be reconciled before a treaty can be drawn. It has been believed until now that all was fav orable to a speedy conclusion of an understanding between the two gov ernments. It is apparent that Mr. Hay has taken a firm position and did not adopt all the terms proposed by Mr. Concha or some especially desired by the Colombians. It has been understood that the discussions which have been held during the ptvK.V-ncy of the negotiations have touched more upon what is regarded j by the government as less important matters of consideration that upon the material point involved. It is assumed that Mr. Concha will refer the points of variance to his government and thus time will be consumed, as "it will take several days to get a reply from Bogota to his iuquiries. - Complete External and Internal Treatment, One Dollar.

Will be in Charlotte a Week or Two, and May Write His Reply While There, After Acquainting Himself With the Facts in the Case. Charlotte, N. C, Nov. 19. Sena tor J. C. Pritchard arrived from Washington this morning and is at the Buford hotel. He is one of the counsel for Major Breese and Mr. Dickerson, the alleged Asheville bank wreckers, which ease comes up in the Federal court to-morrow morning. Senator Pritchard was seen at his hotel this afternoon and was asked it he had read the interview with Con gressman Blackburn published in the Raleigh Post. To this inquiry he replied that he had, but did not care to discuss the matter at present. He gave the Post corresponhent to understand that during his stay in Charlotte, which would probably cover a period of a week or two, he expected to reply to the Blackburn interview. "You may say," said the Senator, "that until I receive the vote in the recent election, analyze it and make myself acquainted with facts, I shall not talk for publica tion. "Yes, I have read Mr. Blackburn's interview, given out at Washington and published in the Morning Post. I have nothing to say just at present. Before I leave Charlotte I may have something for the press, and I will be glad at that time to give it to you." Senator Pritchard is looking ex ceedingly well. He was met at the train by several of his friends here and a large number of his political friends have been at the hotel to pay their respects to-day. In regard to the differences that are said to exist between himself and the President, Senator Pritchard does not care to speak. When his reply to Congressman Blackburn is given out to the press he intimates that his position on the question will be explained. SUPERIOR COURT. A one week term of Superior court convened in this city Monday, with Judge Robinson presiding and So licitor Jones at his post. " His Honor's charge to the Grand Jury was exceedingly full in its pre sentation of their duty as the grand inquest of the county, and was elo quent in language, admirable in depth of thought, showing careful study, impressive in delivery and so explicit and forceful that no member of the Grand Jury can mistake his obligation nor abuse his trust. The entire term will be taken up, doubtless, with the trial of criminal cases, there being three capital cases on the docket: that of Winn, colored, for the killing of his cousin at Mt. Olive; Pritchard. white, for the murder of his wife, near Eureka, and that of a negro for assault upon an old colored woman near Fre mont. The following compose the Grand Jury for the term: Messrs.

Pritchard's Political Future to be Determined by His Fight for Vick's Removal. Asheville, N. C, Nov. 25. It is learned on good authority that a movement is to be made in the near future that will define pretty thor oughly the position in which the President and Pritchard stand. The crisis of the breach will be in the contest over the postoffice at Wilson, now in charge of the negro, H. S. Vick. Senator Pritchard will re turn to Washington in a few days, and it is stated that he will at once recommend the removal of Vick, the only negro now in office in the East, and request the appointment of a white man. This will be prob ably the supreme test. The negroes generally, including Booker Wash ington, are demanding Vick's reten tion in office, while Senator Pritch ard is demanding his removal. There are no charges of official un fitness against Vick, the issue being his color alone. The President has often declared that fitness alone is to determine in tne matter of filling appointments, and it is difficult to see how Senator Pritchard is to compass Vick's re moval. It will readily be under stood, however, that should he suc ceed it will be regarded as a great personal victory and may again es tablish his supremacy in Southern Republican political matters. An other issue in tins connection is the fight colored men of influence are making against District Attorney Harry Skinner and Collector Dun can, of the Eastern District. These, of course, Pritch:u-.l will have to de fend. The fight, it is claimed, is being made through Jno. S. Clark son. The charge against Harry Skinner is his speech urging the re peal of the Fifteenth Amendment, which was made several years ago. The opposition to Collector Dun.can is based on the claim that four of his deputies threatened bodily harm to four negro delegates at the Republi can State convention at Greensboro if they refused to leave the hall. 5KCSEJ A W V C A O &u 111 JF liUli falling out badly.
