Quebec Greets Prince Wales. of The Race Wilt Start at tie Royal Bor ough of Windsor and Finish With a Circuit of the Running Track in the Stadium at Shepherd's Bush. (Special to the Argus.) London, July 23. The Olympic games will be virtually concluded to morrow with the Marathon race. So far as the general public is concerned tis I the most attractive event of the entire programme and, as might be expected, the interest manifested in the race is of the keenest sort. " The raee will start at the royal bor ough of Windsor and finish with a cir cuit of the running track in the Stadium at Shepherd's Bush. The distance is 26 miles. While the course is general ly satisfactory it is not expected that any record-breaking time wiUDemaae Tt is in good eondition and arrange ments have been made to keep it clear f traffic, especially near the finish, where enormous crowds are expected to congregate. About 60 of the long-winded run ners are expected to make the start. The large field and the further fact that the entrants represent various coun tries and have never before met in competition manes n aimji. venture a prediction of the result of the great contest. So far as the Lon don press is concerned no two critics Bem to agree on the probable winner. Some are of the opinion that Great Britain is certain to capture the con veted trophy, while others with an equal show ot wisdom and with seem ingly as good argument to support their opinion flatly declare that John Bull has not even a chance to win. America does not seem to be much ol o Hte so far as the Marathon is concerned, though the chances of Can ada in the long-distance event have re Mivwl . some attention. Among the ' masses the belief seems to be quite general that the race will go to a run ner wearing the colors of some Conti nental country, probably Greece, though there does not appear to be any better reason than pure sentiment for making Greece the favorite. Baltimore, Ml, July 23 His em inence James Cardinal Gibbons, the only represntative of North America in the Sacred College, enters upon hi 75th year today. T.he Cardinal is now on the Atlantic bound for Europe. He is going to visit the Pope at Rome and later he will be a prominent partici pant in the convention of the Interna tional Eueharistic League in London. Cardinal Gibbon is not only the primate of the Roman Catholic church in America, but one ol the most em inent leaders of the church throughout tke entire world. He has spent over half a century in the service of the church. On account of his piety and worth the Cardinal stands very high in Rome, and he is appreciated even the more because of the wisdom he has shown in keeping out of controver ies that have caused excitement in the church. Cardinal Gibbons was born in Balti more, but at a tender age his parents j took him with them to Ireland, where he received his elementary education. In 1868 he was consecrated bishop and vicar of North Carolina and in Febru ary, 1878, he was raised to the arch bishopric and on June 30, 1886, he re ceived the red hat. The years ot life have told lightly upon Cardinal Gibbons, and to look at him one would not imagine that he had reached his 75th year. Many a man of giant statue, minus the great reserve power ot the Cardinal, would have succumbed to the tremendous mental strain which his high office en tails. His strong hold upon the love and affections of the people of Balti more regardless of creed is very well known. Thousands of Cheering People Lin ed the Streets and Here and There Were Groups of School Children Who Sang "God Save The King" as the Royal Car riage Sped Past. (Special to The Argus.)

Phone 839. The writer has read with a great deal of interest the articles appearing re cently in the Argtjs concerning our magnificent Base Ball Team. We heartily agree with them in all that has been said, and do not believe that toa much can be said in behalf ot these gentlemen. Every one in Goldsboro now realizes fully the great bene fit that our city is to derive from these baseball games. It. ia undoubtedly true that these games will have a great er tendency to draw our people together than anything that has been attempted here during the past decade. We all believe that we have a good town, but the greatest trouble has been, that it seemed almost an impossibility lo get our folks together and have them con centrate or thoroughly unite in the accomplishment of any partienlar un dertaking. But it is really beautiful to now see how all our poeple, ladies, girls, men boys, and even onr colored population have united and how thoroughly loyal they are to our mag nificent "Ball Team", and how en thusiastic the entire community is about them, these "Giants". Of course we must give onr ladies a great deal of the credit in this matter producing harmony, and for the ac complishment of a matter that will un doubtedly result in more real good to Goldsboro, than few now realize. How really refreshing it is to hear no "kicking" but to hear every man, wo man and child singing the praises of these "Giants" and ready to resent anything that might be said in a dis paraging way concerning them." Of course there is but one U mstead and one Walsh and we are the one town in this country that have such gentlemen as comprise the entire team. We are all very proud of them, and there will be many very sad people in the "Best Town in the State" when we have to bid "farewell" to "the best ball team in the State.'' We sincerely trust, though, that our local association will offer every inducement to each of these gentlemen to return to us again next season. Let every one who pos sibly can,' come out to these games and show by their presence that these Giants" havo our cordial support. A ROOTER. Quebec, July 22. Quebec's reception today to the Prince ot Wales was a magnificent success, unmarred by a single untoward incident. The harbor is dotted all over with warships and the battleship New Hampshire of the United States navy fired one of the first guns of the salute announcing the arrival of the battleship Indomitable with the royal paity aboard. The other British warships in port, the Exmouth, Dunean.Albemarle.Rus- sell, "Venus and Arrogant, the French warships Leon Gambetta and Admiral Aube and the Citidel chimed in. lhe Tndomitable. followed by the cruiser Minotaur, was made fast to her moor insr bnov before the smoke from the saluting guns had entirely disappear ed. As each vessel came to anchor she ran up bunting and her men lined her sides. The British vessels in port lined the sides ot their ships as the sa lutes were fired, and so did the men of the battleship New Hampshire and the French warships. At the same time flags were displayed on the British ves sels already in port, and on the Citadel and Governor General'e quarters. Th Minotaur ran up the royal standard on her mainmast, and it was flying on the Indomitable As the Indomitable passed the othe warships flags were dipped and all th wav ud tne narDor saiuiauons were exchanged with the great fleetof pleas ure vessels. The crowd that lined Dufferin Terrace to watch the arrival must have numbered 25, 000, while many thousands more were crowded upon other plaoes from which a good view of the harbor could be obtained. Immediately after the arrival of the ships, his Excellency, the Governor General, and Premier Laurier boarded the Indomitable and arranged several details of the reception with his royal Highness as well as the replies to the addresses to be presented. The dis- visitor was met and welcomed by the Canadian Cabinet Ministers and driven to the Parliament House, escorted by four troops of cavalry, advance and rear guards, and mounted police. Several state carriages containing the royal suite -preceded that containing his royal Highness, which was drawn by six horses, with scarlet and white liveried outriders. A brilliant royal and military staff rede before the car riages, which was surrounded by a de tachment ot the Northwestern mounted police, especially detailed to act as a bodyguard to his royal Highness dur ing his stay in Quebec. Thousands of cheering, people lined the streets and here and there were groups of school children who sang "God Save the King" as the royal car riage sped past. The Prince looked exceedingly well and, as he graciously bowed his acknowledgements to the salutations of the erowd, frequent com ment was heard among the people to he effect that his royal Highness ap- eared much sturdier and more robust than when he visited Quebee some vears asro as Duke of Cornwall and York. The Prince wore his naval uni form and the crosses of St. Michael and St. George, the Vietorian Order and the Order of St. Patrick. The Prince of Wales will remain in Quebec one week in attendance on the great Tercontenary celebration now in progress. The principal event wiil be the formal dedication of the Plains of Abraham as a national battlefield park. Tonight his royal Highness is to be entertained at a State dinner at the Citadel by Lord and Lady Grey. Other guests will be Vice-President Charles W. Fairbanks, of the United States, Earl Dudley, Gov-Gen. of Australia, and Vice-Admiral Jaureguiberry, the official representative of the Republie of France. Great preparations have been com pieted tor the historic representation tomorrow of the arrival of Champlain and other incidents releting to the tounding of Quebec. The Prince of Wales and other notables will review the historic procession from in front of the Champlain monument. SIX YEARS IN $1.00 a Year. AIISS ANNIB CA.TRON. John M. SP is Believed to be The Oldest Jail Prisoner In The West. Bis Introspective Cigitatioas Bavfe Led him to lang in his Cell the Mills, "Smile, Damn Yen, .mile." (Special to the Argus.) AMERICA RANKS HIGH IN MARATHON RACES. Kansas City, Mo., July 24 John M. Speyei today complete, six consecu tive years of imprisonment in the Jackson county jail and he is believed to be the oldest jail prisoner in the West, if not in the entire eountry. He has been convicted three times of the murder of his son and twice has been sentenced to death. An appeal eaeh time has served to stay the execution of the verdict and has likewise pre vented him Iron being transferred to the State penitentiary. He is now awaiting a fourth trial in his case and it probably will be well along toward his seventh year in lail before his case is finally disposed of. Speyer is a changed man since his long imprisonment. He has seen sev eral changes in the jail administration during his term of six years and has witnessed the imprisonment and re lease of hundreds of prisoners. This has led to a philosophical bent of mind! and his introspective cogitations have led him to hang in his cell the motto, "Smile, damn you, smile." Speyer does not think much of the jail as a place lor reiormmg criminals. On this subiect he says: "I will tell you why this jail is always full. It is not, as the preachers come in and tell us, because of men being hungry and having to steal and it is not because ot whisky. It is cocaine and morphine and other drugs that keep the jails full. Nine-tenths of the inmates of jails are drug fiends. And a mm who is a drug fiend is an incurable criminal. At any time he is without his drug he will steal, murder or commit most any crime to get the pirice of the stuff." 5rax$C, -'v OS M 'saw . hmmfi- - 1 Hayes, an American, Declared the Winner Alter a Vigorous Pro test Against the Italian.

St., Cincinnati, Ohio, writes : "As I have found Pcruna a blessing for a severe case of catarrh of the head and throat which I suffered from for a number of years, I am only too pleased to give it my personal endorsement. "Catarrh, such as I suffered from, made life a burden to me, my breath was offensive, stomach bad, and my head stopped up so that I was usually troubled with a headache, and although I tried many so-called remedies, noth ing gave me permanent relief. I was rather discouraged with all medicines when Peruna was suggested to me. "However, I did buy a bottle, and be fore that was finished there was a marked change in my condition. Much encouraged I kept on until I was com pletely cured in a month's time, and I find that my general health is also ex cellent." People who prefer solid medicines should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet represents one average dose of Peruna. Man-a-lin the Ideal Laxative. POLICEMAN ACCUSED OF PARK MURDER. N III ILUI ! li ra rf TT odneys themselves break down and wast' way call by ceh.

The policeman declared she shot her self with his revolver, either intention ally or accidentally, because he had told her that night in the park that he was tired ot her forcing attentions on him. "Barbara," said the girl's mother, "loved nobody but the man she ex pected to marry. She had no troubles and would not have killed herself.'
