'VOL. XXIV. WELDON, N. C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21. 1893. NO 2d GUITEAU'S BODY BURIED. THE IMPRESSION THAT HIS SKELETON 18 IN THE MEDICAL MUSEUM IS EBRO . NEOUS. A Washington special says: The gener al impression that the skeleton of Guiteau, President Garfield's assassin, is on exhibi tion in the Medical Musum, which has , been in existence ever siuce his death, Lbas been removed by the statement of wfDeputy Warden lluss, of the District jail, which was published today. I i; He eays: "For a long time prior to the I ejseation strenuous efforts were made to ' ascertain where Guiteau was to be buried, Persons acting in the interest of the resur reotionists both those who wanted the boly for dissection, as well as several en terprising dime museum proprietors, who HHjch desiro to secure it for exhibition purposes industriously questioned every 00 whom it was thought possessed the slightest knowledge. : 'In fact, one proprietor of a dime inu- ; seum made uo offer to Guiteau to pay I hts relatives a large sum of money provid ed ho would will him his body. This seem e to tickle the vanity of the assassiao, foi he was inordinately vain, and had he bean permitted to have his own way would have doubtless accepted the offer Bal as the day for his execution advanced ' Chliteau began to realize the seriousness of his position, and began to exhibit great fea'f lest his body should be mutilated af ter his death if it were placed iu an ordi nary cemetery. . Finally, in discussing this matter with the It'jv. Dr. Hicks and myself, I asked him to leave the matter to us ana we would take sufficient precautions to pre vent the body from being stolen, and at a'eubsequent conference with Dr. Hicks the following mode of procedure was atrreed udou.- - f'lo order to obviate whatever legal I jficulties might arise and to forestall any claim the sister or brother of the murder ejr might make, it was decided that be should make a will bequeathing his body ta Dr. Hicks, and it will prubablybo r -nicmbered that the will when published rtieated some curiosity by the wording of giviog, as it did, the body to be oispos- ' ti as the beneficiary saw fit. "There is no particular compact as to soeresy among us, bnt it seemed to be gen erally understood that we would maiutain fiance, especially as there was considerable excitement at the time. The story that txf body bad been secretly removed to tui medical museum was permited to go uncontradicted, just as I state, because Hg did not believe it concerned anyone. - V' What became of the brains and other organs of the assassin, which were remov ed at the autopsy held immediately after the execution, I do not know, except that the spleen is on exhibition at the museum. Whatever else is left of the man who murdered President Garfield lies beneath 'tbe floor of the laundry room of the jail." V I WANTED TO DISPOSE, Stitesville Landmark'. y A few days ago a colored woman, an employe of Messrs. Irvip & Poston'a ' tjtscco factory, nproaohed one of the proprietor's and remarking that she bad heard talk that silver money wouldn't be good muoh longer, counted out 65 silver dollars and $5 in greenback and requested that it be put in the bank. Her request wai complied with. The paoio affected her differently from most folks, but it was doubtless because she had silver. If she I had had gold she would probably have fitpt it buried or hid in her stocking in- r Stead of sending it to the bank. Speaking of hoarding money, the por peasity for such a thing during times like these we are passing through is much ' greater than anybody imagines. When ever the crv is heard that currency is icaree and hard to get hold of, thousands of people lay hold of every dollar they can je( their bands on and never turn one 'Imw, And one of the greatest hardships r-i 3 the present oriais is that many en. who have as much money as they liua J.i'l Uii.re, oih.ip, take advan- of the situation wd leluse to pay i'r dttbw, and many u creditcris in this Way LOJU3U iuu nun. SIBERIA'S SALT LAKE. HEARTS THAT BEAT AS ONE EVAPORATION HAS FORM EI) A ROOF, UN DER WHICH TRAVELERS MAY SAIL. AN AMUSINO MARRIAGE IN AN BAMA COURT HOUSE. Geographical Magazine. At the first view it was a vast snow plain, surrounded by fields of ripening wheat, says a writer. The great salt lake at Obdorsk is nine miles wide and seven teen miles long, yet, except in a few places, it is solidly roofed over with a deposit of salt, which is getting thicker and thicker every year. Our guide, who is an old mau, said that he could remember when the salt crystals first began to form upon the surface of the water. Year by year, owing to the evaporation of the water, the crystals became more numerous, and then caked together, till the great roof formed. In 1878 the water beneath the salt lake crystal found an underground outlet in the river Obi. This lowered the lake's surface about three feet, leaviug that dis tance between the water and the roof. Looking down through one of the open ings made for the purpose in the roof, we saw a low sized small boat. Our guide put us on one at a time into the boat. We lay fiat on our backs and looked up at the curiously beautiful salt ceiling overhead. We propelled the boat by puling with our hands the irregularities of the roof. The guide held a long rope attached to the boat to prevent our going too far and "rettim: lost, a thin" he said was easy to do. It was like a place of enchantment with the sun shining down through the salt crystals, the colors were so rich and wonderful. Many springs surround this lake. Their waters flow over the roof and evaporate there, and thus continually adds to its thickness After many years the springi will probably become choked with their own deposits, and then the whole will gradually become covered with earth, and so a great salt mine will be formed a treasure for the Siberians hundreds of years to come. TOO GOOD TO LAST. Two cultured Detroit girls were at country house for a month, kept by an honest old farmer, and just after supper they sat down to talk over their pleasant surroundings. "Just think," said one, "what lovely milk that was. Nice and rich, and so much better than that blue stuff we get in town." "It's too good to last, I'm afraid," res ponded the older one. Nest morning they were up early. walking through the garden before break fast. The farmer and his hired man were in the cow-lot adjoining. "Bill," they heard him call out, "did you water them cows before you milked em?" The girls looked at each other with quick understanding. "There," exclaimed the elder, "didn t I tell you it was too good to last," and they went slowly and sadly into the house expecting to find blue milk for breakfast, Detroit FrwPnws. IT IS WELL TO UEMEMBEtt That Monday is the best day of all the week to wash, if one ean, especially in warm weather. That the sooner the clothes are washed after being soiled, the easier they are to wash. That a white soap, free from rosin, is best to wash clothing with, as they do not turn yellow if laid away for a time, and it leaves no unpleasant odor. That cheap soap is dear in the end That soft water is decidedly the best for washiog. That if we can get it, ammonia or borax is a great help; better than washing powder. That if Monday proves a stormy day, the white rlnh"s, after wishing, Bhould be put iuto clean water and wait for the hangiug until fair weather. Good Housekeeper. ALA- J It EAT EXPECTATIONS. TO THE WORLD'S FAlIt VIA IJ.& O. WEIIE THOSE OF THE FEMININE SYNDI CATE WHICH BET ON GALILEE. They were, says an exchange, one of the "lovencst couples as they appeared before the clerk's window iu the office of the probate court of Birmingham. They were from the region of Toadville, or McCalla Bend. The "sturdy oak" was about sixty-five years of age, hale and hearty for a man of bis years. The woman appeared to be not more than thirty-six years old. The prospective uroom was as iollv as could be. His Baptist collar aud called up days long ago, and home made suit of jean called to mind the farm where hog and hominy abound aud the husbandman is not affected by the tariff on wool. The girl was as pretty and sweet as the wild rose of the prairie and her dress bespoke independence of French fashion plates, but indicated solid sense and genuine comfort. The young man was a little flushed about the face, as if he had been taking a small one, but bis mind was as clear as a bell on the matter in hand. He squared himself before the clerk and said: "Is this yeare the place where license is given to them that wants to marry?" Clerk Styles informed him that be was in the right pew, and the old man placed his arm about the figure of his blushing bride and said: "Do you thin' we coma within the law on age?" 'Oh, yes," replied the clerk, "you seem to be old enough." "You doau't think that we louk like a run er way par, do yt?" "Well, I would not put you down on that list if 1 had a guess at it?" "Theu make out the credenshals, my fren, aud you then proceed to tie the Georgian knot. We ain't no stuck up peopl", are we, llebecea?" And so sayiug, the ancient gallant drew the almost fainting form of his iu tended a little closer to biui and actually planted a broadside square on her rosy lips. The papers were made out and the obliging clerk conducted the couple into the next room for further instructions in the mysteries of the order. They were introduced to the venerable prelate Judge Porter, who requested them to stand before him and join hands. The long whiskered groom was prompt in taking the hand of Rebecca in hU but did Dot forget to slip his other arm arouod her waist, and he inadvertently said: " Jedge, wuz you ever married? I'll tell you thar's nuthin' like it in this country. 1 ou may talk about ycr guv erners, yer congressmen, yer presidents, an' all that, but I tell you thar'a nuthin' like gettin' tied up to er pretty wuman that loves yer." The Judge nodded assent and re marked as ho found the place in his form book: "You are just about correct orf that proposition." They were soon made man and wife and the smiling, generous old groom, in a semi dramatio style, waived the judge to take what the laws allow him in addi tion to his fee, to kiss the bride. The Judge complied according to the statutes in such cases made and provided. They received the congratulations of the clerks about the temple who had gathered hoping they might also get a chance to steal a kiss from the bride, but the gal lant groom "barred the door agiu 'em,' an J as be lett the court, said: "Judge, if you ever git out my way you will allux be welcome to my house aud stay as lonu as yer like." Soon they wont out aud down the avenue out of sight. Four women sat together in the grand stand at the Shecpshead Bay race track one day last week and talked about bet ting. They were just behind one of the press boxes. When the fifth race was about to be called, says the New York Sun they had made up their minds to try their luck. That was the race in which Jack of Spades. Galilee, Heury of Navarre. Flirtation, and Peter the Great were entered. One of the women called a messenger. "How much will we bet?" she said to the others. "Let's each put in a quarter," said another: " that,ll make a dollar," "(Jan t bet less u two dollars, said the messenger. "Oh. dear!" exclaimed one of the women. 'I've only got a quarter." "That's all I've got," said another, "I've got a dollar," said the first. "I have fifty cents," said the fouth, "Well, that's enough," said the first, That makes two dollars, and I've got some change for the bov. What'll we bet on." "Henry of Navarre." "Flirtation." "Galilee." It was a chorus from the other three. The one who proposed the bet favored Galilee aud the others fell in with her view. The boy went to the betting-ring and returned with a 5 to 2 ticket just as the horses reached the post. "How will we divide the five?" said one of the womeu. "I don't care," said the 50 cent one. "I do." put in the dollar one. "I put up half the bet, and I'll take half the five." The gong raug, but they didn't hear it. aud didn't notice the people standin up. "That's fair," said the 50-ccnt one, "and 1 11 take half of the other half. That gives me a dollar and a quarter, "That leaves a dollar and a quarter for us," said one of the 23-cent ones to the other. "l!0 cents apiece, and an odd nickel. I'll match you for that." "Al' light," said the other. "Oh, here thcycuu", see Galilee!" Tho horses did come just then. Jack of Jpad's and Flirtation with a smart rush and when the numbers ran up Gali et-'s was third. "Well, I declare," chorused the four women.

WHAT HOME IS. NOT IF SHE KNEW IT. A few weeks ago a railway collision killed, among others, a passenger living in a country town. His remains were sent home, and a few days after the fune ral the solicitor to the company called upon the widow to effect a settlement She placed her damages at 5000, "Oh, that sum is unreasonable!" replied the solicitor. "Your husband was nearly fifty years old." "Yes, sir." "And lame?" "And his general health was poor?' "Very." "And he, probibly, Wfuld not have lived lii'irs thau five years: "Pn.b'bly not, sir" Then it seems to me thai 400 500 would be a fair c.inipeiisutio "Fi'Uf or five hundred?

A London paper offered a prize for the best definition of a home. About five thousand answers were given, sonic of the best were the following: A word of strife shut out, a word of love shut in. Home is the blassom of which heaven is the fruit. Where you are treated best and grum ble most. The father's kingdom, the children's paradise, the mother's world. The best place for a married mau after business hours. The place where the great are some-' times small and the small often great. The jewel casket containing the most precious of all jewels domestic happi ness. Home is the coziest, kindliest, sweetest place in all the woild, the scene of our purest earthly joys and deepest sorrow. The only spot on earth where the faults and failings of fallen humanity are hidden under the mautle of charily. A little hollow scooped out of the windy hill of the world where we can be shielded from its cares und annoyances. A hire in which, like the industrious bee, youth garners the sweets and memo ries of life tor age to meditate upon. An abode in which the inmate, the "superior being called a man," can pay back at night with fifty per cent, inter est, every annoyance that has met him in business during the day. That source of comfort which youth does not fully appreciate, which the young men aud maidens lovingly desire which the middle aged generally possess which the old rightly value. "THE WOHST ISOVEIt."
