Young Reiter paid marked attention to Miss Kpler until a few weeks ago. Then the relations between the girl's parents and Mr. Reiter became strained, owing to the announce ment of the engagement. Reit er was afterward forbidden to call on the girl, and this so in censed her that she packed her belongings and went to live Tuili "hr Tvrntprtive husband grandparents in Exeter. "Miss Kpler consulted David Xevan, a lawyer, and he drew up . .... .i a petition, which he prescnica to Judge Bland, of the Orphans' Court.

Many buildings were blown down, including the railroad roundhouse, where May Ains worth was killed ; the sanita rium, the bank building and others. Several residences suffered se verely, one being carried across the street. Many outbuildings were completely blown away. From early morning the sky was threatening and a stiff gale blew. No rain of consequence fell until 4 p. 111 , and then it was accompanied by a heavy wind that increased in intensity until it reached a velocity of 80 miles an hour. Kvery building in town was of frame construc tion except one brick, the Port Arthur Banking Company building, one end and roof of which were blown away. The bodies of. the victims have been sent to Beaumont for interment, no cemetery having as yet been started here. Advices from Winnie, Tex., say that nearly all the houses there have been blown down. A relief train left Beaumpnt tonight for Port Arthur. Late this evening the following was received from Mr. Kiischner, a prominent citizen at Beaumont: "The relief train has just return ed from Sabine Pass. It could not get nearer. than eight miles of the place. It is reported that the new town is completely gone. Nothing has been heard ol the old town," New Orleans, Sept. 13. A wire just received from Port Aithur reports seven killed, 1 5 wounded and three lost. At Sabine the damage is slight. The maxi mum velocity of the wind was 80 miles an hour.

After you get angry and stop your pjper, just poke your fin ger into water, pull it out, and look at the hole. Then you will know how sadly you arc missed. A man who thinks a papei cannot thrive without his support, ought to go off and stay awhile. When lie comes back half his friends will not know he has gone and the other half will not care, while the world at large kept no account of his movements. You find lings you cannot endorse in every paper. The "Book of Books" is often very plain and hits some hard raps, bat if you were to get mad and burn your bible the hundreds of presses would still go on printing it. So when you stop your paper and call the editor names the paper will still be published. and what is more, you will read it on the sly. Cycle. Before going on a sea-voyage or into the country, be sure and put a box of Ayer's Pills in your valise. You may have occasion to thank us for this hint. To relieve constipation, bilious ness, and nausea, Ayer's Pills are the best in the world. They are also easy o take. GKN. ROBERTS BACK. deceives A Farewell Banauet Before Leaving Victoria. 4. Gen. W. P. Roberts, consul to Victoria, under the Democratic administration, whose term has expired, is in Raleigh en route to his home in Gates county. Gen. Roberts is a large and suc cessful planter and will return to his plantation after his hon orable career in the diplomatic service of his country. He was the youngest Brigadier General in the war between the States; was an efficieut State officer; and as an officer under the Fed eral government has added to his reputation. He received a farewell ban quet before leaving Victoria, over which the Mayor presided There were a number of toasts to the retiring Consul and vari ous eulogistic expressions of esteem. T h e successor of General Roberts is a man by the uncom mon name of Smith, and he hails from Illinois. Gen. Robs erts has been in the midst of the Klondyke craze, and he says the interest of the people iu these gold finds is not abat ing. He predicts that there will be much suffering among the Klondyke adventurers this winter and he advises those who intend going wait until the spring. In his opinion these finds are as rich as those in Cal ifornia, and will probably last as long, that is about ten years. Before Retiring;.... take Ayer's Pills, and you will sleep better and wake in better condition for the day's work, Ayer's Cathartic Pills have no equal as a pleasant and effect ual remedy for constipation, biliousness, sick headache, and all liver troubles. They are sugar-coated, and so perfectly prepared, that they cure with out the annoyances experienced in the use of so many of the pills on the market. Ask your druggist v for Ayer's Cathartic Pills. When other pills won't help you, Ayer's is THE PILL THAT WILL A CHILD'S FARROW ERCAPE. Little Leslie Parker Lay Uncon cious for Two Hours From a Stroke of Lightning. During a heavy thunder storm at Weldon, N. C, Sunday even ing, about seven o'clock, little Leslie Parker, the three year old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Pars keCmade the most miraculous escape from death ever -before recorded. The little lellow went out on the front porch to catch some water in a tin can. Just as he reached the edge of the porch there was a blinding flash followed by a terrific rev port and little Leslie fell out ap parently dead. Mr. Parker cautrht the limn fierure in his arms and ran across the street to Dr. Green's, opposite. The doctor at once set to work. For two minutes the child showed not the slightest sign of life, and it was nearly two hours before Dr. Green could discover the least signs of a pulse. The child finally revived and is now as lively as ever. CALLS CORBETT A LOW CUR. YEL- In an interview at Newark N. J., Bob Fitzsimmons, the pugulist, in reply to the offer of the Northern Tulane Club, of New Orleans, of a purse of $20, 000 for a fight between himself and Corbett said: "I will not fight Corbett again until he makes a reputation. Let him fight some one else. He quit like a yellow cur on the 17th of last March; besides I have re tired." Corbett, whois"nowin Wheel ing, W. Va., has stated that he would accept the offer of the Northern Tulane Club if Fitz simmons would agree to fight him. RACES POSTPONKD.

An Opinion of Solicitor Leary on the Fish Law. I have been requested to give my opinion upon the force and effect of Section 1, Chapter 35, Laws of 1897, in reference to residents of the State. There can be no question about the fact that tlie expression "now resident" is a clerical error, and while it lets out the non resi dent, for whom it was intended, it does not effect the residents of the State, and, concurring with the Attorney General, I am of the opinion that it will not be my duty to prosecute residents under this law. As many ot our people are engaged in fishing and at this season desire to prepare their nets and inake other prepara tions' fishing iu the spring, I concluded it was my duty to publish this letter and thus give timely notice to all persons in terested in the fishing business. Respectfully, Wm. J. Lrary, Solicitor First Judicial District One advantage of taking Ayer'i Sarsaparilla to purify the blood is that you need not infringe upon your hours of labor nor deny yourself any food that agrees with you. In a word, you are not compelled to starve or loaf, while taking it, These are recommend ations worth considering. To Car. CoaatlfMttlo Forever. Take Ous carets: Candy Cathartic. 10c or SSo. If C C.

To-day would be a good time to send for it. SCOTT & BOWNE, Mw York. MARRYING FOR MONEY. Among the unnecessarily ha tred judgments pronounced up on human actions may be classed the universal scorn ex . pressed toward the girl who marries for money. There are those who do not hesitate to draw the most odious compari sons between such a i?irl and others of her sex, says writer in Vogue. Making of love, so-called sort of fetich, the world defies what is, after all, but an instinct, as though it were a grander, finer thing than courage or probity or self-denial, or any other really beautiful human trait. It ap plauds any insanity committed in the name of love, provided al ways that the conventions are observed Love that leads to the degraded lif- of the tene ments, to alliances with the disx eassd or morally weak, that throws away years of training in an art or a science, that breaks the hearts of parents all of these things, and many as mon strous, are excused if only "love" is offered as a reason for their doing. In a world like this, where, in spite of countless public and private charities for the allevia tion of their sufferings and the permanent bettering of their conditions, thousands of helpless little ones expiate by cruel suf feriug and acute want their pan rents score of money considera tions in matrimonial alliances, it cannot surely be wholly repre hensible to look with fayor on moneyed alliances. Sentiment is, indeed, to be preferred to sordidness, but the girl who decides for the decen cies au well as the luxuries of life, for herself and any children that may be born to her, by choosing wealth instead of pov erty is. not necessarily sordid, and beautiful though sentiment may De, when to cherish it means inevitable life in small, unwholesome quarters, the hot, stuffy town for the children even iu their critical second summer (since the little home cannot spare the services of its mistress nor is there any money to spare for the season's needed outing,) when as is usually the case sentiment means all this frightful injustice to little, help less beings, the price is too high, and it ceases to be a virtue. ffcildness is often preceded or accom panied by grayness of the hair. To pre vent both baldness and grayness, use Hall's Hair Renewer, an honest remedy. Snow Storm off Hatteras. (Philadelphia Times 13th Inst.) While the people in this city were suffering last Thursday from 'the extreme heat the crew of the steamer Ethelred, which reached this port last evening, were almost frozen by cold weather. The Ethelred pounded her way successfully along the cost from Jamaica without any great change in the climatic conditions until off Cape Hatter as, then the vessel was struck by a cold "wave," which almost froze the crew, and compelled each one of them who was on duty to don mits and heavy top coats. The mercury in the thermoms eter dropped fiftyniue degrees in three hours. When the winds had subsided considerably, the coldest kind of sleet fell until the deck was danderous to tread upon. The sleet was followed by a fierce snow storm, which continued for fifteen minutes. Tetter, 8alt-Rheuia and Eczema. The intense Itching and smarting, inci dent to these diseases, is instantly allayed by applying Chamberlain's Eye and Skin Ointment. Many very bad cases hare been permanently cured by it.
