Au ditorium Will Be Re built BJght Away. Asheville, Oct. 24. The Ashe ville Auditorium, recently construct ed with a seating capacity of over three thousand, was destroyed by fire this morning shortly after 4 o'clock. Together with the audi torium the handsome residence of Mrs. W. H. Penland, valued at ten thousand dollars, and all the scenery and costumes of the Percy Has well Opera Company, were destroyed. When the fire was discovered on ly the rear portion of the building was on fire, but a few moments later flames burst from the windows, and then the roof of the big play house gave in. Owing to the prevalence of high wind the fire fighters had hard work in saviug the building on the opposite bide of the street.Sev- j enterprising people, that their par eral times these buidiugs caught, but j ticipatiou may be counted on.

The origin of the fire is unknown. At a meeting of the directors of the Auditorium Company to-day t was decided to immediately rebuild the auditorium, and a committee was appointed to carry out this work. The Percy Haswell Campany will remain here two or three days The Elks' Club has extended cour tesies to the gentlemen of the com pany. LOU DILLON AGAIN. The Two Minute Trotter a Back Number With a Minute and a Half Clipped From the Flat Performance. Memphis, Oct. 24. Lou Dillon, queen of trotters, safeguarded her throne of supremacy by a wonderful performance at the Memphis Driving Park to-day. Paced by two runners, the celebrated little mare stepped a mile without a break in 1:58J and established a new world's record for trottiug horses, which will probably stand for several seasons unless Lou Dillon herself again works against it. The best previous record was made by Cresceus in 1:592. The weather conditions were all against a success ful speed trial. A high wind, which had prevailed throughout the day, steadfastly refused to lull, and the cold was keen and penetrating. QUIET DAY FOR DO WIE. His Sermons Marked by Denuncia tions of Masons and Catholics. Kew York, Oct. 25 To-day was the most quiet one that Dowie and his host have passed since their inva sion of New York. Three services were held in the early morning, afternoon and evening, at the two latter of which the garden was fairly filial. The proceedings were marked by the absence of any at tempt at disturbance. The afternoon sermon presented no novel features, being devoted to Dowie's customary denunciations of Masons ana iwman Catholicism. ; MRS. W. X BRYAN Will Testify In theChas. D. Bennett Will Case. New Haven, Conn., Oct. 25. -In the hearing of the will of the late Chas. D. Bennett, which will be re suiued to-morrow, Mrs. William J. Bryan will come to this city to testi fy as to what part she took in the draw ing of the will. Mr. Bryan, it has been brought out at the hearing, drew upon a type writer the will which Mr. Bennett adnssd to his wife, instructing her concerning the $50,000 bequest to Mr. Bryan. ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION. Speaking about fairs reminds us of the great World's Fair to come off next year at St. Louis in celebra tion of the Louisiana purchase, which Mr. Jefferson pushed through a hundred yers ago. It promises to be a bigger thing than the mighty Chicago show of 1893. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat of a few days ago summed up the present situation thus: "All the forty-five States, ex cept three, have arranged to take a distinctive part in the World's Fair, and all the Territories will be repre sented. The only States that have deferred action are Vermont, New Hampshire and Delaware, and all these, two of which were original colonies, have so much to show at a great exhibition, historically and in dustrially, and all comprise so many tion." OCTOBER DAYS. Of all the months of the year, Oc tober is the best. In it the debilitat ing heat of summer disappears, and cool, bracing mornings give elasticity to the step and renewed energy to mortals. He who does not take a greater interest in life when Octo ber's spell is cast around him is to be pitied. October has a regal beauty such as no other month possesses. It has all the pathos, too, of perfect beauty. What a lump rises in the throat that soon it must be numbered with the things that were. How it breaks the dam of thoughts of other October days, flooding us with memories half sad, half ecstatic as through its ghostly evening mists ' we contemplate its blood-red suusets, its golden after glows, and the dying grandeur of its tinted woods. How true the poet saj s: "Tears idle tears. I know not what they mean; Tears from the depth of some divine t despair, Elbe in the heart and gather to the eyes In looking o'er the happy autumn fields And thinking of the days that are no more."

Roy all & Borden, the Well Known and Widely Popular Furniture Firm of This City, Celebrate In Elaborate Style This Event In Their Busi- - ness Career. Eighteen years ago, on the 27th of October 1885 just six months after the Aeg us first applied upon the scene and proclaimed to the world the abiding truth that We've Got the Best Town in the State Messrs. George C. Royall and John L. Borden, young men of business sagacity, Goldsboro boys, who had faith in their town and. home people, associated themselves together under the firm name of Royall & Borden and went into the Furniture business, just one door north of where their magnificent three story brown metal front store now stands; and from that day, on through the intervening years, their history has been one of steady progress and ever widening territory of trade, until to-day they not only cover the State but many States in the wholesale line, keeping sev eral salesmen constantly on the road, besides operating, as branch houses, two establishments second to none in the South one in Raleigh and one in Durham. Early in their career they developed such a trade in the wholesale line that it was found necessary to establish a Fur niture Factory here to assist in supplying the demands upon them. Several times has this factory been enlarged, and from time to time its capacity increased and its working time doubled, employing scores of skilled labor. Next, the firm established a Chair Factory; then a Mattress Factory; then a Table Factory, and neither last nor least, the Royal Elastic Felt Mattress Factory: all of which skilled-labor-employing enterprises, that have done and physical, financial and numerical growth of Goldsboro, their existence and success directly to Messrs. Royall & Bor den, wherein this firm stand preeminent as public benefactors, and the people of this community and section cordially recog nize them as such and contemplate their jreat success with real satisfaction and unfeigned pleasure. , As already heralded in these columns yesterday, Messrs. Royall & Borden are celebrating their Eighteenth Anniver sary to-day with an elaborate and varied display of all sorts and fancies of furniture and house furnishings thoughout their entire magnificent store, on the spacious second floor of whieh will be found an especially attractive arrangement of com -plete furnishings for every room of an up-to-date home. This special display will be continued to-morrow, and all visitors are received cordially and given every attention and informa tion desired, besides being served with a delightful collation."

The building is owned by the Branch Banking Company and has been used some time for the storage of tobacco. It was full of tobacco to night, and the estimated loss is $50, 000. At this hour it is impossible to get the names of those having tobacco stored in the building. The factory and the stock of the Carter and Whitehead Company was very much damaged by smoke and water and the loss of the company is estimated at about $5,000. The firemen worked like heroes in order to save the properties. Washington, Oct. 26. Despite the fact that Fourth Assistant Postmas ter General Bristow has just com pleted an exhaustive investigation of the entire postal service, includ ing the large postofficts of the coun try, a commiission was to-day ap pointed to make a thorough inquiry into every detail of the business of the New York postoffice.

The record of the trusts that are be ing burst by the occupant of the White House is also a state secret. Editor Watterson fills a column setting forth "The Reason Why We are Poor." At this rate it would ro- re a larg sized volume to write all the causes of the poverty of some folks. ; . Mr. Bryan's suit for a bequest of $50,000 left him by Philo S. Bennet, of New Haven, Conn., is being tiied before a Judge Cleveland. An ad verse decision will confirm Mr. Bry an in his animosity to that name. It is expected that the Union Trust Company, of Baltimore, will reopen its doors and resume business on Wednesday.

It is stated that towards the end of the strife a lieutenaut of a Delaware regiment : was invited by a Confederate picket ,: just across the river to come over and accompany him to a dance that 1 niffht. The Confederate secured a suit of citizen's clothes for the Fed eral to wear, and introduced him to the fair Virginians as a raw recruit. After a night of enjoyment the Con federate saw the Federal safely across the river in time for him to reach his lines before daybreak. THE OLD RELIABLE Absolutely Pure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE DOWIE'S FAILURE. The Dowie Crusade in New York has failed. The expected converts have not materialized, nor have the coffers of the prophet been swollen by the contributions of dupes. In vain has been the ravings of the mountebank. The coarse vulgarity of his sermons has neither amused nor interested. His assumed fanati cism was not contagious. At first he aroused curiosity, which was quickly satisfied. Then he bored. There is some pleasure in noting the failure of a charlatan, but his de luded followers of Zion excite only pity. Many of them are sincere. They believe in the mission of the prophet. They have proven their faith by their sacrifice. There is something pathetic in honest delu sion. Of course, among the host there are many who, like the pagan priests, laugh in their sleeve when they mtet one another. The voice of the oracle bears no supernatural' message to their ears.- They know whose appetite is satisfied by the of ferings in the temple. The great ma jority of Dowieites, . however, are simple creatures who have been fixed by a will stronger thau their own and are held in the toils of fascina tion. An awakening, of course, must come, and it will be a bitter one. They will find the feet of their idol clay. They will realize that they have been but playthings of a howl ing pretender. As for Dowie, there is a law of justice that will overtake; a retribution he cannot escape. He is safe from the law His possessions mount up into the millions, but the day will come when no one of hi3 followers even will be so wretched as to envy him. SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CA TARRH. Just Breathe Hyomei Four Times a Day and Be Cured. If a lew years ago some one had said you can cure catarrh by breath ing air charged with a healiug bal sam, the idea would have been ridi culed and it remained for that emi nent investigator, R. T. Both, to discover in Hyomei this method of cure. Hyomei has performed almost miraculous cures of catarrh and is to day recognized by leading members of Ihe medical profession as the only advertised remedy that can be re lied upon to do just what it claims. The complete outfit ot ilyoinei costs but '$1.00 and consists of an inhaler, a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. f ..iL XT ! A I i . xsreuLiie xxyomei mrougn ine in haler for a few minutes four times a day and it will cure the vorst case of catarrh. It soothes and heals the mucous membrane of the air pass ages, prevents irritation, and effects a complete and lasting cure. In Goldsboro there are scores of well known people who say they have been cured of catarrh by Hy omei. If it does not cure you, J. H. Hill & Son will return the money you paid for Hyomei. This is the strongest evidence that can be offer ed as to their faith in the remedy. - -Jj&fc--;'' f ?jte-2ifi
