A good deal of jewelry to put on a dead man. Among other arguments which are advanced in behalf of good roads is that they are a moral agent. They are no doubt preventives of much lurid profanity. It is said that the new mineral radium is a great emitter of heat. Bat while it is worth $1,000,000 a pound poor people will have to scuffle along with coal and wood a while longer. If that young bank clerk in At lanta had another six months he might have made his $94,000 em bezzlement an even $100,000. In hia eight years service he got away with about $12,000 a year. The manager of a base ball ground in New York was arrested for let ting some fellows play on Sunday. He was arrested under an old law of 1798, which was resurrected for the occasion. He may plead the statute of limitations on that. A Tacoma dispatch says the gold discoveries on the Tanana River in Alaska are richer than any discov ered in the Klondike. But the season is coming on when the navi gators of ships want to do some business. One of the burning questions among Republican statesmen in the West is, who shall first shake Mr. Roosevelt's hand and ride in the car riage with him. By the way Mr. Roosevelt isn't shaking as much as formerly. Muscatine, Iowa, is a nice, tidy, little Republican town, but it took twenty policemen a few days ago to rescue a negro from a mob which was beating him to death because he shot a white man who struck him. But there isn't any color line up there. Noting the fact the Mississippi convicts did good work in strength ning the levees to withstand the flood, the New York Tribune thinks they might be employed to advant age in building good roads, a remark which is as applicable to other States as to Mississippi.

MERCY RECOMMENDATIONS. Jsdge Peebles Doesn't Like Too Many of Them Colored Painter la Trouble. Judgment for Several Defend . ants Pendisr-Notes. The Superior Court made fair prog ress upon clearing the criminal docket yesterday, but as Judge Peebles re marked when a batch of new Cases were sent up from the magistrates and grand jury in the afternoon, .it ap pears as if new matters are being put on the docket faster! than the court can get them off. Yesterday the case of chief interest was one in which Harrison Martir, a young man from South Carolina and travelling organizer for a -fraternal order, waaicharged with an assault with a deadly . weapon upon Mrs. E. C. Prince, a resident of Delgado. Young Martin came from Durham last Satur day and was paying attention to a daughter of Mrs. Prince. He was on his way to South Carolina to visit his parenta and went to the Prince home between trains. He j was under the influence of liquor and because Mrs. Prince and her daughter would not drink with him he became disorderly and the lady of the house ordered him off the premises. In passing out the door, led by Mrs. Prince, the young man drew a pistol and. pointed it at the woman. She alammed the door and caused his arrest yesterday aa he was again passing through, returning from South Carolina! He was also charged with carrying concealed wea pons and was given a preliminary hearing in Justice McGowan's court. The case was taken up last thing during the day in the higher court and the - defendant was represented by William J. Bellamy,! Esq. Solicitor Daffy conducted the prosecution and his appeal to the jury in behalf of the defenceless home of a widow, was one of the strongest speeches heard in the Court House in a long time. The jury promptly returned a verdict of guilty, a few minutes after court had taken a. recess for the day at 6 ;S0 o'olock and Judge Peebles reserved his decision until morning when Mr. Bellamy gave notice, he would make a motion for a new trial. j Daring the day attorneys for Capt W. EL Pemberton' submitted the case against him . for assault with a deadly weapon and he was let off upon pay ment of costs. Albert Smith, a well known colored painter of the .city, was found guilty of the larceny of about $6.00 from a colored drayman on the wharf several months ago, but the jury, which re mained out from 11:30 A. M. to 5 P. M. recommended the defendant to the mercy of the court. In view of several recommendations of mercy recently, Judge Peebles remarked jocularly when the latter was returned: "I am afraid you gentlemen think I am very aavsge; you recommend every body to mercy." He reserved judgment in Smith's case until this morning. Court met at 10 A. If., as-usual, and the sheriff returned the talesmen or dered summoned for the day, with the exception of W. G. Baldwin, W. H. Shearin and B. EL Blake, who were not found. John EL Behder, John F. Divine, John BtHintze, J. M. Walker and W. W. Thlgpen were excused. The following routine cases were disposed of: ' Alberta Bishop, assault, with deadly weapon; pleaded guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of ten cents and cost.

Shsm Battle by Wilmington Light lafaa- try Last Night Company in Re msrktbly Fine Condition. The rattle of musketry in the direo tion of Hilton early last evening prompted many inquiries as to the cause thereof, not only on the streets but in the newspaper offices and at the police station. The Wil mington Light Infantry was indulging in its first sham battle for the spring season, and any alarm as to the crack jf the Springfields was easily allayed. The company, under command of Capt Alex. P. Adrian, went out to the old golf links on a special car and had an extraordinarily fine skirmish drill and drill in extended order move ments In furtherance of orders re cently received in view of the organi zation of the National Guard. The drills were perfectly executed and the volley firing was pronounced exceed ingly good. One thousand blank car tridges were used in the sham battle. Capt. Adrian divided the company into two platoons, commanded by Lieuts. Geo. P. James and J. McBee Hatch, respectively. The extended order drill was first observed. Then one platoon was assigned to holding a given position until routed by a sec ond. This second platoon in turn took position behind an embankment, throning out its pickets, who were discovered by the scouts of the oppos ing force and utterly routed, their po sition being taken. After the platoon drill, the men were thrown into com pany formationTand carried through a skirmish drill. Company O. is now in excellent condition and could easily be recruited to 100 men if such was permissible. The boys are looking for the new khaki uniforms daily and any day after April 15th, Ool. T. H. Bain and an inspector of the U. 8. army are ex pected in connection with an exchange of guns for the new Krag Jorgensens.

IntereBtiof Report Made by Qeoersl Sec- retsry Dusbnn to the Board of Di rectors at a Recent Meetlnf. , Some estimate of the good that has been and is now being accomplished by the Young Men's Christian Asso ciation may be gathered from the following interesting and accurate re port made by Becretary Duahan to the Board of Directors at their last meet ing: On September 1st, 1903, the Associ ation owed in bills about the city more than $1,000, which have all been paid. Tne running expenses nave an been met nromntlv each month, and there is no reason to doubt the ability to continue doing so. The membership has been Increased from 288 to 318. Thirty-two persona have professed conversion to Christianity as a result of the work done in the Sunday after noon men's meetings and Bible classes. Tne gymnasium work has been good, 120 different members are enrolled in the classes, and 216 classes have been conducted since Sept. 1st, with an at tendance of 4,525. Nine social events were conducted withlan attendance of 1,835. The read ing room and library have been pa tronized by about 4,000 men. There nave been 22.700 visits to tne building. Several visits to the sick were, made, others have been helped in various ways. Twenty-six men were directed tosood boardinar houses. Situations have been secured for some men, and other features could be mentioned to show that this institution is doing a good all-round work for the men and boys of the city. The gymnasium classes will be con tinued until June 1st. Dr. McOlure's Bible class for young men will con tinue to meet on Monday evenings at 7 o'clock. A pleasant feature connect ed with this is the supper which is served to all who attend just previous to the teaching of the lesson. - This is free to those who attend, thus enabling men toco direct to the Association. from the office or other place of em ployment, without loss of the time re quired in going home. The class closes at 8 o'clock and does not Inter fere with the plans of the evenine. The books of the Old Testament are now being studied. Mr. Flsf ler's Generosity.
