At Charlotte the ])arty will be joined by a sister of the young man, Mis ? S: Hie Zachai-y. a student of Elizabeth College and other membei s of the fam ily. Dr. Zachai'y was held in tlie hiijrhest esteem hei e and the en SECRETARY SHAW ASSAILED. The immediate cause of his death was peritonitis. He was o[)eraied on at the James Walker MemoiHal Hospital on Tuesday for ap})endicitis. The disease had reached a dangerous stage before the operation was i)er- formed and soon after the opera tion peritonitis set in. u[) a very large practice and was ra])idly foiging his way to the I front rank of his profession in the city. The floral offerings which ac companied the remains wer<‘ the most extensive and beautiful ever seen in this section. The funeral at his old home was conducted by Rev. C. 1'.

Dr. Zachary was a young man, being only ll."s years of age. He received his pi-ei)aratory edu cation in the scht)ols adjacent to his home and his college educa tion at tlie University of North Carolina, graduating from there 111 with the degree of Bach flor of Arts. After finishing his college course Dr. Zaciiary began tin- >tudy of medicine at the Univer sity Alfdical School and remained ■ here uiitil the spring of vviien by competitive examination lie won llie a[)[)ointmt?nt as I’t'si dent physician at the city hos pital at Wilmington. Dr. Z.ichary was a diligent stu vleiit When in college and stood iiigh in his classes. No one who las gone beforo the State Board i)f Medical Examunsrs in recent y’eais has made a higher mark than did Dr. Zachary.

Mr Zachary made •one.'’ which was the highest irrade. aiitl was accordingly given the positioi . came to Wilmington in Juiv\ and began iiis duties as resident ])hysician at the city hospital. He tilled this position for about eighteen months. After giving up tlie position as resi vient physician. Dr. Zachary be j:an the practice of medicine in this city. It was only a short time l>efore he had won a num b('rof fri(mds and as time passed his circle of fi-iends became wider and wider. Dr. Zachary had a quiet, gentle way about liini which caused those who came in contac-t with tiiai to at once become his friends Althougii his manner was gentle, he had a strong will, and when he determined u])on a certain course he accomplished his pur pose. When in college his demeanor was always modest and dignified, :ind liis college mates always had ihe highest respect for him. The Charlotte Observer of Monday, 14th inst., contained the following notice of the funeral: Wilmington, March Kj.—The funeral of the kte Dr. Robert Edgai' Zachary, whose death was chronicled in this morning’s Ob server, was held at 2 o’clock this afternoon in St. James’ Episco pal church, to which the young physician belonged. Members of the Wilmington Lodge of Elks, Hanover Lodge of Odd Fellows and Jell: Davis Council Junior Order of United American Me chanics, of whi^'h he was a mem ber, assembled'at their respect ive lodge rooms and attenjied the ing of his old home friends were present to ])articipate in the last sad rites. His aged mothei* and numerous relatives have the sin cere sympathy of the News in th(‘ir sudden and unexi)ected aflliction. Keepn IinporterM GnesKin^. “IIow old is Ann?" is easy when com pared with that crazy (juilt patc'.iwiu-k l»uzzle, the I)in^ley bill, whose tlill’en'nl patches, or rates of dulj*. were desiirni'd l»y a thousand dlfi\*rent manufacturers and were simply pi<‘ced to.i'ether by ('oiiirn'ssnian I>injj:l(*y.

In this wjiy. by comiK*Ilins; new* and unexpected elassilii-jitions. the rates <ju scores of articles have bec'ii forced up. Hundreds of importers are k(‘pt ^^•uess- Inir by this I)in,‘j:ley puzzle. The pearl imjtorters have recently had th(‘ rate of duty forced up from ‘JO to <50 per cent, and this. too. :ifter the jroods had b(>en importt'd at the low(‘r rate and sold on tiiat basis. The I'nited States circuit com*t (b'cided on .Ian. 1;> that pearls iniport('d in a box anti ar- ranifed in ^ra»luatin;^ sizt's should Ix* classified as jewelry and pay a duty of GO j)er cent. The same pearls on a pa per would have the same value, but Wf)u!(l pay only 20 i>er c(‘nt duty. This difference cost one importini; lirm ^oO,- 000 in one y<*ar. A Repnblican Says HI« Stntementn Are I'ntmthH.” The report siv(Mi out from Republic an sourc<*s thjit Secretary Shaw is soon to retire fnuu the cabinet should be true if the char;^es nuule by General H. II. Thomas are substantiated. He accns(‘s Secrotjiry Shaw of violations of the civil servitn* law and of playinjj politics in his (Thouia.s’) renu»val from the ofiiee of appraiser of the port of Chicairo. In a h'tter to Secretary Shaw (leneral Thom:is sa^s: “0!i the 17th of December last you wrote, ostensibl}' bj' direction of the I)resi(lent. requestiuf? my Immediate resi;;natiou on the pretext of ‘secr.re- inent of more vi^’^orous administr.'ition.’ Had you stopped there I ndf;ht have had sonie resiiect for you, but yon evi dently thou;;lit a little taffy would sweeten the bitt(*r <lose, so you told me the resif^nation was not wanted for the purpose of .uiviiif; somebody a place and that ‘there was no politics in it.’ I will not characterize the statements as lies, for that mi.uht lie constructed as unparliamentary, but 1 will say they are mis(‘rable nntruth.s, and you kncAv them to be and must have known that I kuevr them to be.

In the court that dismissed Senator Dietrich on :i lechni«"ility a younjr man who broke into a postoffice ;ind stole oO peimi(*s and .SO worth of stamps was scnt(‘uced to thrt'e y(*ars in the federal lienitentiary, while an employee in the Omaha postotlice who stole J>2.02',> was let off with a fine of 5?2,0()U. or .$20 less than the amount of his stealinirs. And yet there are those who comi>Ialn Ik'- cause there is an api>arent growth of I»opnlar distrust of the courts.—(Com moner. Depew Sonnd.s “Keynote.” The pronuse of some of the Repub lican leaders to their constituents that the tariff will be revised after the elec tion does not seem to have any chance of realization. Such talk is (-vidently merely to quiet those Repnblican vot ers who have become restive under high trust prices and declining incomes. Senator Depew of New York was put forward by his political associates to “sound the kej'note” of the coming campaign to the association of Repub lican editors wiio lately met in the city of Washington. Ho echoed the cry of “Stand pat on the tariff without any Qualifications!'’ “We accept the phrase with all that it means,” said Senator Depew. The samovar now seems inclined to call the teapot black. lie Can Cateli a String «if Trast.s if He Will Fi.si) In iCariie.st. S(‘crel:i;-y Cortelyou is at the head of the new dt'pai'tinent of commerc(', wluise bun'au of industrit's has been trying so hard for a whole y(>ar to liud a bad trust. If sucli a trust is found the life is to b(* frighti'ned out of it by pubiis’.iing the facts in regard to its crook(Mlncss. Although Mr. Cortelyou has fretiuent- iy been told where to lish if he wants to cati'h a big string of trusts, yet tluTt* is no evidenci* that he has as yet got a nii)ble. His patience must be ne;irly exhausted. The trade and com mercial pap^^rs and journals are filled with information about oUl and new trusts, many of which are of the most obnoxious type. The Iron Age of Feb. 4 is filled with such information. Thus, the manufac turers of axes have just formed a new trust, wiiicJi at one Jump advanced the prices of axes .$1 a dozen. The hatchct manufacturers have behaved in a sim ilar w’ay. “Their organization,” says the Iron Age, “is a strong one, regulat ing prices and production, and in its general features resembles the Shovel association.” The ax, hatchet and shovel trusts, when they imt up prices from 25 to 100 per cent, are most obnoxious to farm ers. carpenters and others. They should be ferreted out and held up to public scorn. Then, if publicity doesn’t make tluMU ashamed of themselves and cause them to mend their wicked w’aj'S, per haps it will occur to some bright mem ber of President Roosevelt's official household to take aw'ay the tariff that protects these pestiferous trusts. Mr. Cortelyou maj' remember the sto ry of the bad boys up in the tree steal ing api)les who laughed at the farmer while he tried to drive them out by throwing tufts of grass at them, but who changed their times and ran away when he began to throw stones. That farmer was not such an everlasting chump after all.—B. W. H. The SviA Av VaTvLEv News office for line job prlutiujJC. LOW RATES TO California and the NORTHWEST!
