VOL. XXII. WE L DON, N. C, THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1891. NO. 13. THE BACCARAT BEAUTY. SUB-TREASURY BILL. THE NORWECIAN WAY. NATIONAL ALLIANCE. FIFE TAKEN TO TASK. OH, DAT WATERMELON. HOW TO TELL THE PERFECT FRUIT WITHOUT THE UA.STR0N0MIC OUT RAGE OF PLVOKINO. What ho! ye old fashioned family physician ! Take down fmm the drug shelf and dust off the "Heady Kelief" and "pain killers" of last year; infill the Jamaica ginger bottle and net ready lor the coming gripe season, lor the water melon is at hand and the midnight wail of the small boy will now be heard throughout the land. Not that there is any positive danger from caiing the heart of a ripe water melon. Bless you, no. But in his greed for more, the youth is likely to eat in too close to the rind and thus get himself iuto trouble. But who cau blame him, for who has ever eaten enough of this glorious fruit at any one time? The eating of watermelon is an art learned only by long aud varied expe rience. It isn't a fruit with which to begin one's breakfast, or for that matter to begin or end one's dinner, that is, if one expects to eat other things. By itself nlone? Yes! yes I s yes! Eat it at anytime and at all times, and may the Lord forgive you if accused of gluttony or of greed. Good watermelons are not yet plenti ful, but will be in a few weeks. Those now in market are from Florida and eo.-t ?'J per dozen. Wait until they are about Jill per hundred and then ! From uuW until frost expect to read a great deal of wati nneluii literature. Be prepared to hear sung the praises of u plugged melon. Be calm, however, when listening to the advocates of brandy or claret soaked melons and say to yourself such ideas could only emanate from a diseased brain. No one in his right senses, unless possessed of a vjtiated palate, could possibly make such a perni cious suggestion. The Bill Brown ban quet was a culinary poem in comparison to the outrageous gastronomic proposi tion of filling a perfect melon with spirits of any kind. It is quite an art to select a choice melon without cutting a small hole through its fat green sides, but it can be done; the same as an expert can tell a counterfeit from a genuine bill by the feeling aud general appearance. The dark g.een of the melon should be the color. of English ivy leaves; the yellowish fpot underneath caused by its contact with mother earth should be tested with the pressure of the finger. The spot should have a springy resistance and the indentation thus made should not be n iticeable when the finger is removed. If it remains the melon is too ripe and likely to be watery. If no depression can ba made the melon is not ripe enough. The most delightful bottle of ehaui paguo I ever tasted was taken out of the case, then buiied in iee for two hours and served in long, slender stem glasses. The most satisfactory manner of cooling a melon is to bury it in iee two hours before serving, wipe it dry, and cut it into longitudinal slices. Thomas J. Murrey in New York Herald. CIKI.S WILL W E H ; ALl.l'Sr.S.' The newest, most delicious fad, an emanation from the fertile brain of the immortal Worth, is to have the smart girl's serge skirt held up by real "gal luses'' crossing over her silk skirt or blouse for summer wear. But such galluses arc idealized, glorified, aud femi nine, foi they are of gold braid or ribbon, studded with flashing jewels or jet cabochons flashiug in the light. Any way, every girl kuows how difficult it is to keep the skirts up taut and trim to the belt, especially if she lays aside one of the discomforts of conventional life known as corsets, and she will welcome the new innovation.

Lady Brooke, whose name is just now so prominently before the public in con nection with that of the l'rince of Wales is a far more beautiful woman than her photographs make her appear. Indeed, I have never yet seen a portrait that did her justice. With her wealth of golden hair, her graceful figure and her exquis ite complexion, she has always seemed to tue the perfection ot fresh, delicate, lily-like, English loveliuess. She is, however, far from popular in London, a fact due to the jealousy caused by the partiality which the l'rince of Wales shows for her society, and also to the strong individuality of her character. She does not make friends easily, has a horror which she does not attempt to disguise for all bores and for everything commonplace, and possesses a mind of much originality, which is as active as her body. She drives four-in hand, handling the ribbons in a delightful man ner, talks cleverly, is a devoted mother to her beautiful children and does an im mense amount of good with her enor mous wealth among the poor, both around h.Tstorn Lodge, her country seat in Essex, and in London. At the for mer place she has organized and main tained a school where over a hundred poor girls of the neigh bubi'd are educated and taught dainty and feminine trades, such as lace makiug, embroidery of uiidcrwvaring, commanding both good reinunerva- lion for the present and a pleasant live lihood for the future. Of course she is willful ami perhaps I might add some times something ot a spoiled child. But what pretty woman is not, especially when, as in the case of Lady Brooke she has been taught from her earlier youth to consider herself the greatest heiress in London.

In the course of an address before the Colored Normal School, of Washington City, Superintendent Porter, of the Census Bureau, said : "The forthcoming reports will show one and one third million colored pupils in the public schools. There are, in ad dition to this, 37,000 pupils in private schools, and about 8,000 in parochial schools, making a total, in round figures, of 1,378,000. There are over seventy institutions for superior education of the negro and over 7,000 colored students in training fur teachers, while hundreds aie studying theology, law and medicine. Fifteen-sixteenths of the entire colored population of the country live in the Southern States. In at least ten of these States, the percentage of gain in public school enrollment has far outstripped the gain in population. "The great industrial progress of the Southern States during the last decade would have been impossible wero it not for the seven millions of your race who stand ready to improve their own condi tion by increasing skill and labor. "The Southern negro is no longer merely a plantation hand. He has I u rued his ulteuliou to other pursuits and as he becomes more expert in the various occupations of life, we may ex pect to find a still greater diversification of industries in the Southern States. Happy H ousters. Win. Timmons, Postmaster at Ida ville, Ind , writer: "Eloctric Bitters has done more for me than all other medi cines combined, for that bad feeling aris ing from Kidney and Liver trouble." John Leslie, farmer and stockman, of same place, says: "Find Electric Bitters to be the best Kidney and Liver medi cine, made me feel like a new man." J. W, Gardner, hardware merchant, same town, says: Electric Bitters is just the thing tor a man who is all run down and don't care whether he lives or dies; he found new strength, good appetite and felt like he had a new lease on life.

THE COTTON CROP UNDER IT, According to the calculations of an anti-Sub-Treasury Mississippian, it would be in the power of a capitalist having 810(1,0110 in c,lsh to buy and hold 8300,000 worth of cotton, under the Government warehouse scheme, simply by reinvesting his 80 per cent, advances and that it would take only $1)0,000,000 capital to control an entire cotton product of 8300,000,0011. The same argument applies to wheat, corn, tobacco and all non-perishable prod ucts, provided the planters and farmers could be induced to sell at the time and on terms to suit the cash purchaser; and future prices f ould be wholly controlled by the syndicate that owned the stuff. But the advocates of the sub-treasury plan insist that it is to save the people from just such monopolistic speculations as are here suggested. The planter, for instance, is not going to sell outright if he can raise what money he wants at the time by warehousing his crop and bor rowing 80 per cent, of its value, thus in suring to himself any advance in price that may occur, and of course, assumiug the risk of any decline that may ensue. There are objections enough to the system, and the opportunities for specu lation that it offers are among them, but the danger in this direction is not as great as it is in sour.! others. At least it is hardly supposable that the producers would enter into any conspiracies against themselves, except in cases of dire duress, to be victimized by ou'sidc conspirators. Washington l'ost. vasck's tii it i ;r. it's. Senator Vance of North Carolina is perhaps the wittiest man in public life in the country. On his recent trip to California, with a Congressional committee, I heaid him get off one of his brightest witticisms. His wife is a Catholic, and he is a pro nounced Protestant. In talking one evening in the smoking room of the car, one of his brother Senators asked how it was that he happened to marry a Catho lic. "Well," said the Senator, "I will tell you I have tried rum; I have tried re bellion, and I thought it might be good to try a little Humanism iu order to com plete the prescription. The combina tion is a good one." Atlanta Constitu tion. AN ALASKAN It AIL W AY. Hon. Charles Frances Adams, of Bos ton, has written a letter to E. H. Wells, the Alaskau explorer, concerning the tatter's published scheme for building a railway to Alaska. Mr. Adams says. "When I was last in the Dominion, and also in Alaska, it seemed to me not im possible that the time might come wheu a railroad would be needed, and would be remunerative from Winnepeg, north westerly, into the niiuing country of Alaska, but I was equally persuaded of the fact that this time had not come. neither do I believe it will come within the next ten or fifteen years. This significant letter will attract atten tion from railway managers all over the country. It is construed as a conserva tive admission from Mr. Adams that the Alaskan railway may actually be built within the next twenty years, thus form in' a link oft lie chain that is to connect the Czar's Siberian railway with Amer ica.

WOMEN "Leap year reigns forever in this heathen land!" exclaimed an English tourist, stopping in a Norway village. One evening he had been taking a lesson in Norsk from a young lady, a Norwegiau being present who had just walked sixteen miles across the mountains. When the lady rose to go to her lodgings in an adjoining house the Englishman offered to escort her through the dark ness. She declined the honor, and in so abrupt a manner as to surprise him. When she had gone the Englishman asked the Norwegian if he spoke En glish. "Not much only a few words," he answered. "Tell me what means that ring the lady wears. She is going to be how you call it?'' asked the Norwegian in scarlet perplexity "going to be mar ried? Yis ! ris ! "But," continued the Englishman, "what 1 am ignorant of is the difference in your rings between married, unmar ried, going to be married and never going to be married." "O, you will never tell that," said the Norwegian, laughing loudly. "We can not mark the men. Among us it is the men who wear the ring " "O, see! That is a new light!" said the Englishman, taking the man's large left hand, on whose fourth linger was a solid gold ring. "That is your wedding ring, then?" "Nai, uai," he replied, laughing and blushing. "That means I have not to e married !" "And thou what becomes of it?" "We put it on the right hand instead of the lelt," said the Norwegian, holding out his hand to bid the Englishman Good nat." Then, as he was closing the door be bind him, he said in confidential tones: "Yis, that youug lady who was talking to you is going to marry me next month." Youth's Companion. A IIATTLtt IS MID-A I It. TERRIFIC FK1HT BETWEEN SLATERS ON A UOOF. Une ot the most turilliog scenes ever witnessed here occurred about 4 o'clock on the roof tho high tower of the new courthouse. Two men, John Young and Frederick Whylen, were nailing on slate 123 feet from the ground when they got into an alteration over tho possession of a hammer. Blows followed words, and the men clinched and a desperate strug de began. The men twisted and twirled ou the narrow platform, each intent on totiiiliujr the other off. Each was deter uiined not to fall himself. Soon hundreds gathered below and watched the thrilling struggle. Now they were on the edge of tho platform now iu the centre. At times the under man bent half down across the scaffolding. If they said anything in the mad contest it was not heard below. On the earth women shrieked and grew whito and men trembled. At last, in seeming despair of hurling his foe to the ground, Whylen hit Young a terrific blow in the forehead. For a moment he shook as if to fall, when with a sudden effort Young gathered hi strength together and chokedWhylen into insensibility. He was himself too ex hausted to do else than lie still upon the scaffold until other workmen came aud lowered both men to the grown. Ex.

TROUBLE A.MONO l'HOM IN ENT OFFICIALS. A Jackson, (Miss.) special to tho Times-Union says: During tho visit here of Polk, Livingston, McDowell aud Willetts, Alliance lights, some interesting developments came to the surface iu re lation to National Alliance matters. The National Alliance legislative council met in Washington last February and created a legislative commitee consisting of three members, of which O. S. Hall, President of the Missouri Alliance, was one. The functions of this committee were to for mulate measures growing out of the Ocala demands to be presented to the 52d Congress. Hall, from the inception of the Sub-Treasury measure, has been one of its strongest opponents. When he was selected as a member of the committee, it was regarded as a victory for the anti-treasurites, and as an indication of the ultimate abandon ment of the scheme. Hall, after his election, commenced to work with in creased vigor against tho scheme, and with his coadjutors had succeeded in organizing a movement covering the eu tire Southern States, lis is shown from the call of the meeting of the AnliSub Treasury League, of Dallas, Texas, July 10th next. This meeting promises to be largely attended, and organized oppo sition to the sub-treasury measure and McCuneism will be definitely inaugurated, and on this circumstance hangs an inter esting tale. Within the last month re monstrances have been sent to Hall by members of the legislative council aud members have had urged upon President Polk the advisability of taking action against Hall. Polk has had considera ble correspondence with Hall, advising him to desist, and very recently submit ted to him one of the two alternatives, either to cease his opposition to the sub treasury bill, or to tender his resignation as a member of the legislative committee. In the eveut of his non comp'iance he was given plainly to understand that he would be suspended and was given until July 25th to make his answer. It is be lieved this is a decisive stroke of Polk to frustrate the objects of the Anti-Sub- Treasury League at Dallas, Tex., aud to influence less intrepid opponents to the measure than Hall to steer clear of the Dallas circuit. Those who know Presi dent Hall assert positively that ho will decline to be coerced and to give up his convictions, but on the contrary he will resign and fight the Sub-Treasury scheme harder than ever. It is believed by many that this will split the National Alliance and an organization will grow out of the Dallas meeting as a result, with a more liberal policy in many respects and especially as to membership. BANK. NOTE PAP13K. SOME POINTS ABOUT HOW IT IS MADE, The paper upon which bank notes are printed is called "distinctive paper" bi cause used exclusively by the government for the printing of bonds and notes. The mills where it is manufactured are at Glenn Falls, Westchester county, Pa An agent of the Treasury Department receives the paper direct from the hands of the manufacturer, and every precau tion is taken to keep any of it from being lost. When this "distinctive paper" being made scraps of red silk threads ure mixed with the pulp in a big tank. The finished material is conducted to a wire cloth without passing through any screen which might retain the silken threads Next an arrangement above the win cloth scatters a shower of blue silk threads, which fall upon the paper as it i being formed. The side upon which th i blue silk is deposited is used for the back of notes, each thread being so deeply imbedded as to remain permanently fixed 1 lie smooth side ol the paper, that in which the rea threads alone are seen, is used for the front of tlu note.

Sev eral evenings ago a party of young peo ple, composed of the best people of tho community, held a picnic at the Guilford Battle Grounds, at which there wag dancing. Mrs. Judge Schenck was chaperone. Fife in his meetings the has spoken of the battle ground picnic and the people who attended it, using grossest of language iu describing the the dancing, calling the people who partici pated "mulletheads," saying that the dancing was worse than the liquor sa loons. Once describing "the hugging of the dancers," he alluded to the chaperono of the dance, and said there had been a second picnic at the battle grounds which had been chaperoned by a different, but he thanked God that she was a noble Christian woman and did not allow them to dance. These offensive remarks be came unbearable, and Dr. Schenck's sons sought Fife and had an interview with him and they state that they had a satis factory explanation from hiin,aud that he promised not to allude to it any more. Last night he again alluded to it and characterized it as "miserable and abomi nable." Judge Schenck and his three sons called at the room of Mr. Fife in the McAdoo House, and demanded an apology. M.. Fife replied: "Look here, you have struck the wrong fellow." Then they left without violence, but were present at the night meeting, when the matter was casually referred to by Mr Fife. At the close of the meeting it was whispered that Mr. Fife would be attack ed, whereupon Mr. Fife said: "Friends, lioid on a minute; I understand that I will be attacked." Many voices replied: "They will have to attack us too," and Mr Billhorn added, "and Jesus too." A hundred men escorted Mr. Fife te his room and as soon as they left him the three young Schtncks came up and attacked Mr. Fife in the presence of his wife and threatened to kill him. Mrs. Fife exel diued: "You are not going to assault a man of Gol iu the presence of ladies?" They replied: "No, i.ot in the pres ence of ladies," Mr. Fife then approached the buggy in which Judge Schenck was sitting, of fering him his hand, to which the Judgo responded: "I wont shake hands with any sach d d scoundrel." Mr. Fife was then struck by Dr. Scheuck with a loaded cane and staggei cd. Dr. Schenck then fired a pistol. Mr Fife was taken to a drugstore for treatineut, and, on returning on the arm of Mr. McAdoo, exclaimed: "All for Jesus, bless God." Several thousand indignant citizens as sembled at the cour house, and, after making several great speeches, a commit tee, consisting of Judge John A. Gilmer and others, reported resolutions strongly condemning Judge Schenck. Several hundred ladies met in the Gospel tent and declared their intention to stand by the evaugelist. Judge Schenck and sons have been arrested. Intense excite ment prevails and there is fear of further trouble.
