It now appears thatGeueral Wheel er did tender 1m resignation last fall. As the letter, which was dated November 28, at a place called Paniqui, in the island of Luzon, was not cabled, but came by the slow process of mails, and, moreover, as it did not come directly to the War Department but went to the White House, where it has been reposing since its arrival in Washington, the officials of the War Department. according to their statement, knew nothing ot it until today. The general's resignation was not accepted promptly by the President, out of consideration for the office. Instead he was ordered to report to the War Department at Wasnington, and he is still in the armv. His res ignation will be accepted here, and the effect of the delayed action will be to allow the officer his mileage aud expenses to Washington. The resignation reads as iollews : Paniqui, Island of Luzon, The Philippines, Nov. 28, 1899. The President, Executive Man si on, Washington, D C. Sir: The insurgent govern ment is virtually destroyed. Aguinaldo is a fugitive in the northern provinces; his cabinet and congress are scattered. The president of the Philippines congress is here, and from what he says I think it will be im- possible for their congress to ever rtconveue. The various commands of the insurgent gen erals are reduced to mere skele tons and fly before us so fast that it is almost impossible to get within gun range. I therefore respectfully tender my resignation as an officer in the volunteer forces of the United States. Very respectfully, JOSEPH WHEELER. Brigadier General U. S. A. Bets on the Cotton Crop. Atwood, Violett & Co. of New York have issued this state ment : We are requested to make the following wagers by one of our New Orleans frieuds : "Offer to bet2o,ooo to $ 10.000 that the American cotton crop for tlie current season will not be as much as 9,500,000 bales. "Offer to bet $1,000 even that the current crop will not be as much as 9,200,000 bales. "Offer to wager $100 to $90 weekly that the amount of cot ton brought into sight weekly during current season, from date until August 31 next, inclusive, will be less than corres ponding weeks of last year. "We will accept the figures of Secretary Hester of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange to decide these wagers, inasmuch as his figures are about one hundred thousand bales larger thau those of the Financial Chronicle, brought into sight to ihe 9th iust., and therefore in favor of any one who may accept all or any of these wagers," I have been afflicted with rheumatism for fourteen years and nothing seemed to give any relief. I was able to be around all the time, but constantly suf fering. I had tried everything I could hear of and at last was told to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which I did. and was im mediately relieved and in a short time cured. I am bappv to say that it has not since returned. Tosh EnGAR. Germai town, Cal. For sale by W. W. Griggs & Son Druggists. j APPLAUSE IN OLD ROME. From so ne relics which have just been unearthed at Pompeii, the interesting discovery has been made that the theatre goers in old Rome were much more punctilious in the matter of applause than we moderns are. If they approved of a play or of an actor's performance they testified their. approval openly, but in such a manner as to show the exact amount 01 gratification which the performance had afforded them. In other woids, says a correspondence of the Chicago Times-Herald, they were guided by rigid rules in the matter, and so well were these ruler known that every actor could tell at once whether he was really making a hit with the public or was playing to an audience that failed to appre ciate even his best efforts. When such theater-goers were fairly well satisfied with a play they applauded by snapping with the thumb and middle finger, if they wanted the actors to understand that they were really satisfied with the perfor mance they clapped loudly by beating the left hand on the right. Only the fingers of the left hand were brought into play on such occasions and the sound was as if two earthen vessels had been knocked together. A more hearty token of approval was given by striking the flat palms of the hands against each other. A still more marked to ken of pleasure was curving of the hand and then striking them hard against each other. At times, however, there was an oc casion when even these methods of testifying approval would be insufficient to express the popular delight. It became the custom on every such occasion for all persons in the audience to applaud by waving a corner of togas or robes in the direction of the stage. The people of the lower class in Rome were not privileged to wear togas, but the Emperor Aurelian permitted them whe lever they went to a theater to carry a piece of cloth, so that if the play proved an ex traordinary success they might be able to testify their appioval in the recognized fashion. Catching Unsuspecting Man. The head of the house res turned home very early the oth er morning to find his wife a-ake and com plaining of a headache. "The very ticking of the clock drives me wild," she moaned. "Just stop it won't you, aud maybe I can get some sleep." The liege lord did as he was bid. The next morning, without a hint of headache, the wife arose and the first thing she did was to take a stand be fore the stopped clock. Its hands pointed to half past two. "Now I know what time it was when you came in last night,' she said sweetly. N. Y. Suu. Shot by a Preacher. Richmond, Va , March 12. News reaches here of the shoot ing and probable fatal wounds iug at White Plains, Brunswick county, Sunday morning, of Dr. W. H. Temple, by Rev. J. E. R. Riddick. The latter is a well known Methodist minister, and claims that Dr. Temple, who was attending his wife as her physician, had insulted her. Riddick was arrested and lodged in BrunswicK jail. Tern pie was shot in four places. II PATHETIC STORY. A REAL HERO. He Gave up His Own Life to Save the Life of His Little Brother. The Anglo-Saxon, of Rock ingham, in its issue of last week, told in a few lines a story that is enough to thrill the coldest and most unfeeling heart. It vas about a little hero, albeit a child of tender years. It ran this way: Not far from Hamlet, in Richmond county, a family of children were left alone, the parents having gone to a neighbor's, two or three miles distant, to spend the day. About noon they sat about to prepare their dinner and the clothing of the 15 months old baby took fire. The eldest child, a lad of 9 years, went to the re lief of the baby with no thought or care for himself. Fiercely the battle raged, as with bre beat hands the child tried to back the flames. A little 7 year-old girl was thoughtful enought to run to the spring for a bucket of water which she threw on ths two children and extinguished the fire, but she was too late. How ever, unheeding his own torture, the brave and faithful lad gently removed the rags from the baby's body and replaced them with cool, clean clothes, then clasped the little sufferer in his arms and started for his father and mother. A neighbor happening along took them all in his wagon and carried them to their destination. At 10 o'clock that night the baby died aud the boy now re iieved of his responsibility, yielded to his own pain and the physician, after an examination, shook his head and declared that his recovery was impossible. That was all. But what a r-s cord ! No trumpet sounds his praise, but what hero on any field ever surpassed in moral grandeur the long, brave struggle of this little boy to shield and save the baby? It makes one think better of the race to see in this unlettered child so high aud bold an ex ample of fidelity. We pray that God may spare the boy's liie. He has in him the elements of the highest and the noblest manhood; but it his time has come may he meet in the better land the baby for whose sake he laid down his lite. Charity and Children. Smith Must Pay. Isaac H. Smith is out in a long account of the result of go iug on the bond for the negro Postmaster Hargett, of Rocky Mount, to the tune of $1,000. Hargett defaulted and the bonds men are in the hole. There were five on the boud, but the others are crawling out, leaviug Smith to pay. Jim Young, of Raleigh, is one of the bondsmen, and Smith refers to him as "the nigger Young." Smith was Craven's colored representative in the last Legislature, as every body knows, and voted to erase Young's name from the corner stone of the Blind Institution. He says that he is now glad that he nid it. Smith also has it in for the negro Congressman White, who appointed Hargett, and who is also on the bond, but is playing the baby act. .

"It has long been a matter for argument," said the old lawyer, who was in a reminiscent mood, "whether a lawyer should defend a man that he knows to be guilty. There is an argument on both sides, and I do not sup pose it will ever be settled to the satisfaction of all. A good many years ago I had a case that set me to thinking. and I haven't yet determined what my duty was in the matter. At that time I had a small prac tice in a little town in the west ern part of the State. Upon my return to town one day, after having beeu away a few days on a matter of business I was calls ed upon to defend a wortle6s character who had been arrest ed for hog stealing. "At that time every one kept at least one hog to kill in the tall and salted down tor use in the winter. One of my neighbors had butchered a hog a few days before and the party that I was called upon to defend was charged with the theft of it. "The case was about to be called when I arrived and asked for a little time in which to con suit with my client. This was granted, and taking him to one side I said : "Now, see here, the best thing that you can do is to make a clean breast of the affair to me and then I will know just where I stand. Whatever you may confess to me I will treat as sacredly confidential and I will do my best to clear you.' "'I didn't steal bis hog,' pro tested the prisoner. " 'Then where did you get the carcass that was found in your possession ?" I demanded. " 'From your back porch, boss,' he answered, with a grin. "Then I remembered that just before going away I had left orders to have my hog killed, and I could only gasp. However, I went to work and cleared my client of the charge he was un der and took the carcass of my own hog as payment for services rendered. But I had hard work treating what he told me as sacred and confidential." De troit Free Press. Ashore at Eatteras Inlet. The report comes from Hat teras, N. C, that the two mast ed schooner Lizzie James, Capt. George Howard, with lumber and bound from Newbern to New York, went ashore early Monday on Hatteras Inlet bar during a heavy northerly gale. The James went out of Ocracoke Inlet Saturday morning, and had been becalmed off Hatteras for two days. The crew was rescued by a skiff" from Hatteras liie saving station. The life saving crews from Hatteras and Ocracoke made repeated ineffectual at tempts to reach the schooner.

Tarboro Southerner. 'Minnie," said a mother to her naughty three year-old daughtei, "what is the reason you and your little brother Har ry can't get along without quar reling?" "I don't know," was the re ply, "unless it's because I take after you and Harry takes after papa." Ex. CLIPTOMAiyiA The steamer Couute collided with another steamer off Sable Island Monday and the captain and 21 men were drowned. The money was subscribed iu Winston Monday for a teu thousand dollar cotton mill to be built at once in North Win ston. The Southern Hotel at Hali fax was destroyed by fire last week. It was the property of Judge Walter Clark, and was valued at $ 14,000. Mr. lohn D. Rockefeller has offered to give to the amount of $150,000, dollar for dollar raised for the endowment of Newton Theological Seminary.

Since the Civil War the South has spent $ 1 00,000,000 ou schools for colored pupils. Throughout the South there is quite as much opportunity for the respectable black man as the white. A double daily passenger train is now running on the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad. The new schedule went into effect last Sunday and tlie peo pie of Newbern are very en thusiastic over the progressive policy cf the road. Just think of it ! Four thous and Boers, without artillery, stand off 45,000 British for ten days ! Was there ever a more gallant fight? Do not men who cau battle and die like this, de serve to retain freedom ? The body of a 6 months old negro child, buried in a cheroot box, was found in Goldsboro recently. The coroner's jury re turned a verdict that the child came to its death by the criminal carelessness or intention of some person unknown to the jury. Fifteen persons, a majority of whom were children, were burned to death at a tenement house in Newark, N. J., about 5 o'clock Monday morning. Thirteen bodies were recovered from the ruins within three hours after the flames had been extinguished. The fire was of incendiary origin. In the Burke Criminal Court two fine?, each of $2,500, have beeu imposed upon the South ern Railway for issuiug free passes, three years ago, from Raleigh to Morganton, and Morganton to Washington. The railway claimed that the latter was inter State and beyond the court's jurisdiction. An appeal is taken. Preachers Against Gambling.
