' r i :;-' The bill to reorganize and incor porate the Denitentiary passed. The bill codifying and consolUJ dating the insane laws came witn a farorable report from the commit tee except as to one or two provis. ions. There was a lengthy; discus sion as to the clause with reference to confining the criminal insane in the penitentiary, this being op- nosed bv the majority of tne bena- tors who spoke.

Among the bills auction fees on leaf tobacco. The bill reorganizing the peni tentiary was taken up. It is the one agreea on at vue uoiuucrauu caucus, and changes the name to State Prison and creates 12 new directors. The bill passed second reading without debate. VOn the third reading Hampton, Republi can, demanded the veas and nave also asked for an explanation odthe disposition that was made of the bill. This was quickly and succinctly'given by Foushee, who said the bill was to turn over to the dominant party the penitentiary and the farms. He said it was in the nature of a writ of ejectment. At this there was laughter. The vote on the bill was: Yeas 89, nays 15. There was a laugh, when Smith, colored, of Craven, voted yea. The bill was immediately sent over to the Senate.

A bill to protect buyers and sell ers of leaf tobacco in the state by making failure to comply with con tracts a misdemeanor waB taken up: It applies also to farmers who have contracted to sell their tobacco to warehouses or agents'. The report of the committee was favorable. Davie, of Franklin, the author of the bill, explained its provisions, saying it was to enforce honesty. Foushee antagonized the bill, say ing if a warehouse man failed to carry out a contract he should be responsible in a civil action, not criminally. He thought the bill went too far and was an invasion of the liberties of the citizens. Boun tree said the bill appeared to him revolutionary and an invasion of I I tl- I l I KUfs cuuiuiuu iaw. no luuuguii mere was too much legislation making many acts criminal. The discus sion of the bill became quite gen eral. Powell, .of Wake, thought the bill very fair, while Overman declared it violative of the consti tution.

Waltt, of South Gardiner. He., say : "I have had the worst cough, cold, chills and grip and have taken lots of trash of no account but profit to the vender. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the only thing that has done any good whatever. I have used one SO ceat bottle and. the chills, cold and grip have all left me. I congratulate the manufacturers of an honest medi cine." For sale bjC E. Holton. Corncob Ileal.; : ... "We are constantly meeting with fakes and fakirs,"; said a young Wall street j broker the other day, "but one of the slickest schemes that I have ever came across was a corncob mill in Cairo, 111. ' The way I became acquainted with the business was through a friend of mine out there, who was interested in the deal and who picked me up, a young! chap without any money, and made me the purchasing agent in Chicago. "It was a long time before I my self knew the wherefore of. the mill. It was erected in an inac cessible place, two or three miles out from Cairo, and a board fence ten feet; high was built around.it. The company had its own private wires, and every detail of the busi ness was scrupulously kept secret The employees themselves did not know what use the corncobs were put to. They merely knew that large quantities of cobs were sent in, but the company gave it out they were seeking to invent a new process for paper pulp, and that silenced questions. "This was not the only use for the cob mill, however. , The com pany furnished it straight to one concern out West, and to another down in the South. It was part of my business, however, to find out the meal, and this is the strange part of my story. 'The firm out in the West showed me a large vat and a distilling apparatus. In the vat coffee berries were placed and boiled. The drip, which was strong black coffee, passed by means of a distiller over to another vat con taining nothing but this corncob meal. The latter became saturated with the coffee juice. Both ber ries and meal were dried, and the boiled berries were placed upon the market as a cheaper-grade of cof fee, while the meal was put up in packages and sold for ground cof "Tne nrm in tne boutn naa a similar scheme, except that it made use of the stems of tobacco leaves. You know , that in cigar and other tobacco factories the leaves are stemmed and the stems are sold to snuff manufacturers. But this firm , boiled the stems, distilling them off into a vat containing corncob meal. The result was Bold as smoking tobacco under a brand you'd easily recognize were I to mention it. - "The firm that I worked for paid $50,000 for its plant and declared a small dividend the first year. The second year it paid 250 per cent, dividend, jit ran along swimmingly until the Illinois leg islature passed a law prohibiting the exportation of adulterated feod stuffs. That killed the scheme. The plant is being used now as a flouring mill." I For La Grippe. Thomas Whitfield & Co.,240 Wabash av., corner Jackson-st, one of Chicago's oldest " and most prominent druggists, recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for la grippe, as it-not only gives a prompt and complete relief, but also counteracts any tendency of la grippe to result In pneumonia.

Assemblyman Reddington last week introduced in tbe House of the New York-legislature a bill to prevent premature burials. The bill provides that cities or places where there are 100 or more interments each cemetery shall have a mortuary or mortuaries, to be used for the disposal of the dead, which shall provide rooms of sufficient number to enable each body that is received to be placed and kept a certain time. Over the door of each mortuary chambor there shall be a transom, kept open at all hours. The door shall be kept open at all times, and per mission to inspect a body deposit ed shall be given at all hours of the day to the relatives! or friends of the deceased. No body shall be received unless accompanied by a statement on the part of an attending physician or coroner showing whether he has found' these signs of death: Per manent cessation of respiration and circulation ; purple discolora tion of the dependent parts of the body;- appearanc e of blistering around a part" of the skin touched with a red-hot Iron, or the charac teristic stiffness known as rigor mortals. It is provided that no body shall be buried, cremated or otherwise disposed of in any of the ceme teries, crematories or other places for the final disposal of the dead before seventy -two hours shall have elapsed from the time of death.

TEanfcin. , The universal expression of be reavement and loss which followed the announcement that Samuel C. Rankin bad been " suddenly sum moned from earth, the ready re sponse to the request of the mayor of Fayetteville "that all places of business be closed in order that all might pay a closing tribute of re spect to the deceased," the solem nity and genuine sorrow depicted UDon the individual countenances of the vast assemblage thus gath ered, were unmistakable evidences or tnat men ana wiae-spreea es teem which the deceased had won for himself in the hearts of those among whom he was so well known. All felt how solemnly appropriate were the services as conducted by three castors of the city. Not a word - spoken in the way of eulogy or praise, or in any way whatever concerning the deceased. There was no need. Such would only have weakened the silent enconium more eloquently expressed by this very silence than any language could have done. He was one to whom the Master would have pointed, "Behold an Israelite indeed In wnom is no guile." As a citizen all felt that his acts were the result of honest convictions. His calm and search ing investigation of all questions concerning which there could be honest doubts, united with a well known soundness of judgment, gave bis opinions weight, and be wasi regarded as one whose counsels it was safe to follow. I have known ' him from child hood and can recall nothing either in speecn or act inconsistent witn the highest type of the gentleman and christian. Such a man need ed for himself ne warnings of death's approach, nor dying test! mony for the comfort of surviving friends. Modest, gentle, courteous and unassuming, yet firm and un wavering with fixed principles of integrity and uprightness, he was a model citizen, christian husband and j father. In reviewing such a life we cease to wonder that he was bo highly and widely esteemed. J. C. w. TTealtnx People .Live In Constant ! Fear of Anamination. " : What is the smallest income on which a man may live in New York? was the question I asked to day of a noted banker whose income cannot be less than $100,000 a year. "Well,"Jie replied, "my household expenses alone amount to $25,000 a year, and I do not see how I could possibly live on less than that. Then a reminiscent smile begins to cross his countenance, and heaving a little sigh, he said : ' "But the happiest time of my life was when my wife and I and two children lived here on $2,500 a year. , We kept two servants, and felt quite rich. After all, happiness doesn't uepenu on toe amount oi a man 8 income. I was quite intimate with William H. Vanderbilt, and he was considered the richest man in the country. I met him one day on Fifth avenue, and said to him j that he ought to be the happiest man in the world. 'JL am not," the great millionaire replied. "My health is shattered, and all the n.oney I pos sess cannot restore It. I cannot even drive one of my fine hbreee. It is painful for me to sit down. mar - my only possible exercise is to walk down the 'avenue. I receive threatening letters daily, and my nerves are so unstrung that I am constantly afraid that some assas sin win wayiay me. i am overrun . . . . . - witn people wno want to get my money. I am the most wretched man in New York, and I tell you that after a person has accumulated enough to secure him against pov erty and gratify his reasonable wants, every dollar in addition is a burden and weighs him down."

How ard Gardner. Aboriginal and Original. In a small town in Nebraska the girl waiters at the tavern left to go to a new hotel in a neighboring town, and as no other help was available the landlord was forced to do the waiting himself until, he thought of the Indians at the Iadian res ervation. He "promptly hired four of them, but as the Indian has no idea of time they did not get round to the tavern the next day until the breakfast hour was over, and all the-guests save one had eaten. He was a drummer for a New York house, and is known in the West as a great grumbler. When he appeared in the dining room, the landlord urged forward the man he had been training. "Take his order, Jim," he said, "and give him a glass' of ice wa ter." ' . . x- ". .. The Indian managed to take the order correctly, and carried it in and served it; then he took his stand at the back of the guest's chair, as he had been instructed to do. But the drummer was in a bad temper, and declared in no com plimentary way that he would not be served by an Indian. At that the grim statue at his back whip ped out a savage-looking dirk, and holding it over the head of the grumbler, he said, with Choctaw brevity: ' "You eat." And eat the drummer did, flesh and fowl, not daring to move a muscle, while the unwavering arm held the dirk within an inch of his bead ; and it was not until he had eaten everything in sight that his predicament was discovered 'and he was rescued in a state verging on collapse. Dangers of the Grip. The greatest danger from La Grippe is of its resulting in pneumonia. - If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy taken, all . danger will be avoided. Among the .tens of thousands who have used this remedy for la grippe we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia which shows conclusive ly that this remedy is a certain pre ventive of that dangerous disease. It Will cure la grippe in less time than any other treatment. It is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by C. E Holton. ." - . '.. ': . ' - - . Cure for Stuttering. A young gentleman of this city who stutters saw an advertisement by some Northern firm claiming a sure cure of stuttering for $10, the money to be sent before the cure. He thought the price fair, and made haste to send on the amount. In due course of time he received the cure. This was it;v "Keep your d- n mouth shut." He didn't stutter at all after getting the "cure." Language flowed freely. Charlotte Observer. BsntLs cf i Ths Iti Yes R2TS tors Ezt A Milwaukee Incident.
