A New Orleans woman has started a school in Chicago to teach Chicago women how to talk. When she gets through with that she might start another school to teach them how to stop; a much more difficult art tor some of them to acquire. The annual summer gold drain will soon begin and the indicattons are that it will be larger than usual. En gagements for passage on one of the principal lines running from New Vork are 50 per cent, greater than they were, at this time last year. About the meanest thing that Mrs. Lease has accused ex-Governor Lewelljng, of Kansas, of, is selling bad butter to the State Lunatic Asy fam. The man who would palm off bad 'butter on a poor lunatic ought to be rolled in it and spread out in the sun to bake. Maryland courts do not" take kindly to the hypnotic plea tn mur der cases. A fellow charged with the murder of a little girl tried it the other day, and the jury found him guilty,, and that the right thing to do was to let the sheriff try his hand at hypnotyzing him in, the usual way. As an indication of the confidence that the nations of the earth have in each other, the standing armies of the world, in peace limes, number about 3,700,000 men.which are kept Simply.to watch and be 'prepared to take advantage of opportunities to do some robbery or something of that sort. Mr. Henry M. Flagler, the mil lionaire, enjoys the recreation of building fine hotels so much that in addition to the three daisies he al ready has at St. Augustine, Fla., he is going to build another, large enough to accommodate two hundred guests, at Palm Beach, Fla. It will be built this Summer and be finished for business by next Winter. Rosa Whiteface, a pretty Indian girl, 17 years old, in Kansas, objects to being sold bv her father to an old fellow of .70 who already has a large stock of wives on hand, for fifteen ponies. We don't wonder. At the present prices of horses out West aiy self-respecting Indian girl should object to being valued so low as to be traded off for fifteen ponies. John Faragher, a Chicago man, nas no more faith in cats now than he had in banks when he quit de Positing .in them because he lost ' t Plle f money in one that bursted. When he went to his improvised bank the other day he found that "ie rats had burglarized it and chewed up about a thousand dollars worth of bills to stuff their beds with.

The expectorater rates high. Cuba is a rather expensive luxury for Spain to continue to indulge in, but she tries to make the world be lieve she can afford it, and that's the reason she - won't sell it or give it away. But she will get tired footing the bills sometime. When they get to paking paper socks and selling them for three cents a pair, as it is said they can, there will be no excuse for' even Jerry Simpson dispensing with that part of a man's rig. American carpet manufacturers shipped 287,000 yards of carpet t& Europe last year, but haven't made a good start yet. The year before they exported 18,631 yards.

It is greatly to be regretted that "the present financial condition" of Robeson countv "would not permit" the Com missioners to make an appropriation of $100 to each of the two fine military companies the Maxton Guards and the Lumber Bridge Light Infantry that are an honor to that county. Petitions largely signed by the best men in the county, recommend ing the appropriations, were pre sented: but it was "no go." What's the matter with the finances of Robeson county, any way?

ESCAPE Judge Bryan Authorised to Hold Special Term of Court in Craven County The New Board of Aldermen Elect City Offi cers The Assignment Law Case to Come Before the Supreme Court Monday. Star Correspondence Raleigh, NI C, May 8. Hoke Secrest, the noted criminal, sen tenced to the penitentiary for twenty years, was brought here this morning under heavy guard. Secrest- may thank a kind tate that he is a live man to-day. Itls by nearly a miracle that he was not lynched last night. He was brought from Rutherford" county by the Sea board Air Line. He came through Monroe, the town where he had lived and where he married his wife. The tram which he was to take for Raleigh was late three hours. Citizens of the place soon learned that Secrest was in the town and flocked to the depot to get a glimpse of him. The people became worked up over the presence of the wife and child murderer in the town. A lynching party was organized in a bar-room near by. The sheriff was informed of this fact and a close guard kept on the car in which Secrest was confined. The delayed train happened to come along about this time and prevented what seemed imminent a lynching. The Governor this morning issued the commission for the Western Criminal Judgeship to H. G. Ewart. The case of Elias Carr and the Wyatt case involving the validity of the assign ment act will come before the Supreme Court next Monday. Invitations to the different military organizations of the State and other Southern States were sent out this morning. The Executive Committee of the State Fair meets here to-morrow. It will be definitely decided whether there is to be another State Fair. The old Board of Aldermen met at 12 m. and adjourned for all time after read ing the minutes of the last meeting.. The new Board was sworn in before the adjournment of the old Board. At 12:30 Wm. Kuss took the oath .of office and assumed the duties of Mayo of the City of Ral eigh.. The first business the new board attended to was the changing of the old ordinances to conform with those in the city charter. An election of officers was gone into with the following result : L. D. Heartt, present incumbent, was nominated for Chief of Police by Bous- hall, Democrat. Capt. W. S. Harriss. who was before the Convention as a Democratic candi date for Mayor, was nominated by Stew art, Republican.. Harriss received 6 votes and Heartt 6. Mayor Kuss cast the deciding vote lor Heartt. Mr. T. F. Nottingham was nominated for keeper of the market by the Dem ocrats, and O. W. Belvin by the Repub licans. The vote was a tie and Mayor Russ cast the deciding vote for Notting ham. J. H. Marshall and Wm. Sawyer were nominated for janitor. Marshall, Dem ocrat, was elected by the deciding vote of Mayor Russ. T. P. Sale, present incumbent, was elected sanitary inspector bv the deci ding vote of Mayor Russ, there being a tie vote as usual. Seth Jones was elected keeper ot the City Cemetery over Wm. O'Neil (Re publican) by the usual vote. Mr. W. C. MCMacicin (Democrat) was elected City Street Commissioner. Mr. McMackin is superintendent of roads for Wake county, and has done more for roads than any man in this county. His election will be hailed with delight. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, May 8. The Governor has authorized Judge Bryan to hold a special term of the Civil Court in May and a special term of the Criminal Court in June in Craven county. C. D. Heartt has resigned as a Direc tor of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Insti tution. He held two offices. The Governor of South Carolina writes Governor Carr that he will be here on the 20th, unless executive business prevents. SAVANNAH TRUCK '.MOVING. Large Shipments Every Day Green Feaa In the Iiead.

It Tends to Demoralize the Boot and Shoe Market Dealers Believe There Will Be m Beaotion. Announcement has been made by the United States Leather Company, (says the New York ournal of Commerce) capital $120,000,000, of an advance in sole leather to 83 cents per pound. There had been other advances, starting with the price at 20 cents per pound. The advance within the last week was 40 per cent. Orders for the increased prices are at tributed by the company to the scarcity of hides, but it does not appear that hides have yet been advanced. What ever the cause, agents in the West and South who are drumming for the fall trade have had instructions to push up prices. Their reports show that dealers will not pay the advance demand.- It is not supposed that the advance will hold. European markets threaten to break it if nothing else will do so. In this country the outcry by dealers has led manufacturers-to curtail orders. Some of them have threatened to shut down until the price shall be restored to abnormal level. It is estimated that advances already made would increase the price of $3 shoes to $4.25, and of $4 shoes to $5.75, higher grades following the same pro portion. Dealers seem to agree that the advance is an attempt to make a cor ner which cannot be successfully worked. Believing it doomed to failure they threaten to let stocks run down rather than; risk being caught in the collapse. A CTTRE POB BBIGHT'3 DISIASI. Twenty-Five Dootora Meet at Sanderavilla to Investigate It. Sandersvillk, Ga April S5. Twen ty-live physicians assembled in Sanders ville to-day to investigate tests made by Drs.
