A Wireless Telephone. The Durham correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says: 'C. E.

The big dry good department store of Julius Meyer- Sous, which occupied al most a quarter of a block on Broad nlr-t, together with the stock and fixtures, was completely destroyed by tire yesterday. The lire origi nated on the third floor among some mall mattresses, but from what cause U a matter of doubt. The flames spread with great rapidity and when the fire department reach ed the scene all It could do was to protect surrounding property. A charred jxxly was discovered In the ruins, which proved to be the remains of U. Emmett Slaughter, manager of the carpet department. How he became entrapped In the burning building is unknown. There are rumors of other Casualties, but they seem to be entirely without foundation, as the rest of the 400 employes are tald to be accounted for. One lady, Mrs. Loose, was In jured by t pile of trunks falling on her. Several others fkinted and had to be carried out and some were so bewildered they had to be forced out. The fire was witnessed by thou sands of persons. A March trale was prevailing and burning embers were scattered for a radius of several blocks around. These Ignited the roofs of other buildings and while the big lire was In progress the de partment had to respond to five or six other alarms. The insurance is $173,750 on stock; $20,500 on fix tures; on buildings, $60,000. The total loss, as estimated by outside parths, Is $250,000. No estimate has been given out by the sufferers.

BIIU ( 'hatred ap Talrteea Yoara Aro la aa Iowa Tuti Weet to Trt-urr- Washington Po4. Thirteen yrars ago Charles J. Al len, a farmer living near Ogden, Iowa, drove Into town, and while getting dinner, tied bis horses to a hay rack wagon.- The animals up set the wagon, throw lug down a vet which the farmer had left hanging on the rack. Mr. Allen bearing the noise, rushed out of the hotel, and, picking up his vewt, found that six $6 bills that had been left In one of the pockets had disappeared. An innocent-looking goat stood neir by, drta-iilly licking its jaws. A peser-by, suspected of the theft, accused the goat and offered to pay for the animal If the mining bills were not found In Its stomach. The goat was killed and the currency was found where the suspected man said it would be. This was the last heard of the maU ter until this week, when Mr. Wm. K. Gardiner, of the War Department, received a package from his father-in-law, who is justice of the peace at Ogden, containing the mutilated cur rency. The lump of dried, hard pulp was taken to the Treasury Depart ment, and the experts patiently past ed enough of the bills on separate sheets to show that six $5 bills had been destroys). Under the rules these have been returned to the own er for an affidavit that the fragments are all that remain and the facts as to the goat's dinner, and upon its re ceipt new bills will be issued. Mr. Allen will lose only thirteen years' interest on his money. HER PRESENTMENT CAME TRUE. Hatband Killed While Trying- to lteecne III Wife From a Burglar. Pittsburg, April 12. Thomas D.

The man who fired the fatal shot and his accompli ces escaped. A strange feature of the crime was that Mrs. Kahney had a presentment that a member of the family would die before morning and refused to go to bed, walking for hours back and forth between the room in which her husband was sleeping and tue adjoining apartment which her 12 year-old son occupied. She kept a light burning in the hallway and left the bedroom doors open so that both apartments were well lighted. She remained faithful tocher self-iin-posed trust until two o'clock, w hen she fell asleep fully dressed, across the foot of her son's bed. Half an hour later she was awakened by a burglar who was attempting to chlo roform her. She screamed and her husband ran to her rescue. The man who was holding Mrs. Kahney freed one hand and drawing a revolver, fired a shot at the husband. The bul let entered Kahney 's side in the re gion of the heart.

YE CM CM. rreara Officer aa4 Cad liar a Wreath oa tit Tuaib of Waaalactoe. Washington, April 11. There was a touching stvit at Mt. Vernon today, when M. Caiubon, the French ambassador, accompanied by the officers aud cadet of the French training ship Duguay-Troulu and other distinguished guests, placed a wreath of Dowers on the tomb of Washington. The occasion was cuui mnted on as being particularly In dicative of the continued fraternal feeling existing between the two great republics ofKurope' aud America. Alter the brief ceremony at the tomb, the guests spent sometime In looking at tne mansion which Wash ington occupied while a resident of Mount Vernon and strolling around the spacious grounds surrounding it. In the mansion particular attention was paid to the room in which Washington died, and to that io. which Marquis Lafayette slept while a guest at Mount Vernon. Several group pictures were taken, one of them while the party surround d the tomb and others in different parts of the grounds.

At the navy yard, from which place the party embarked, they were received by the command ant, Admiral Terry, and the officers on duty there, and conducted aboard the vessel, the same courtesy 'being shown them on the return. WEEVIL IN CRAIN. Tbe Remedy for an Evil Which Caairi Much Lo to Farmer. .e copy below a letter to the Charlotte Observer from Mr. Frank lin Sherman of Raleigh. We give it to our readers for what it is worth. "We have received several letters asking about weevil in corn and wheat, and have come to the con clusion that it has caused gieat loss to the farmers of the middle part of the State during the winter. We wish to say that the remedy is sim ple, cheap, and easy to apply, and we wish every farmer to know it. Remedy: Have the grain in a tight bin. Gt some caroon bi sulphide, which can be had of drug gists for about 25 cents per pound, throw this directly on the graiu at the rate of 1 J or 2 tablespoonsful to each 100 pounds of grain, cover the bin with . a piece of canvas, or oil cloth or a heavy blanket, and leave for a day. The fumes will sink through the grain and kill the in sects. Do not allow fire "or light of any kind to come near while the operation is going on, for it will take fire as easily as benzine. We make these suggestions for the benefit of those to whom they will be of use. Anyone who has suffered loss from this source or from any insects, will do us a favor to imform us of same, and send specimens of the insect causing the damage, and we are glad to answer all inquiries. Franklin Sherman, Jr., Entomologist North Carolina De partment of Agriculture. Raleigh, April It, 1901." BREACH OF PROMISE SUITS. Young- Woman Sue Hatband for SIO.- OOO, and Young- man Sue Wife for Same. A special to the Washington Post from Huntington, W. Va., Says: "A month ago Miss Margaret MacBeth, the belle of Bellevue, Ky., sued Selby Bonham for breach of promise, demanding $10,000. Com plications have since arisen almost as remarkable as those which made the "Comedy of Errors" famous, but to the participants it seems more tragedy than comedy. No sooner was Mr. Bonham sued by Miss MacBeth than he straight way married Miss Osa Fisher, of Charleston, this State, who had in troduced Mr. Bonham to Miss Mac Beth several years before. In order to make Miss MacBeth's judgment, should she recover in the suit against Mr. Bonham, of no value, Mr. Bon ham transferred ail of his property to his wife. John C. Hupdleston, a conductor on the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail way, who lives at Hinton, had some other claims, however. Miss Fisher was engaged to marry him. Prepara tions were made for their approach ing wedding, wnich was t have been on Easter Sunday. But Miss Fisher married Mr. Bonham, and now Huddleston has brought suit for breach of promise, damages $10,000." Bia Conaterfetina' Oatfit Captured. New York, April 10. One of the biggest raids in the history of the secret service was made to-night by Chief Hazen, as a result of the ar rest of John Albert Skoog, for pass ing counterfeit Swedish notes. Chief Hazen, after talking with Skoog to I day and following a clue which he got from papers in Skoog's pocket, went to a building in Grand avenue, Brooklyn, and arrested Emil Mo bert, a Swede. One of the most complete counter feiting plants ever found was dis covered in the house. Long-sought plates for 50-kroner notes of the Bank of Sweden and 100-kroner notes of the Bank of Copenhagen were among those found. They were buried away with other plates for the making of a $20 note of the Bank of Scotland which, It Is said, the secret service of Great Britain - 1 has been trying to run aown tor years. Skoos: is said to be one of lthe moat expert counterfeiters alive. THE PASSING OF CHINA. THE SMALLER NATIONS CLAIMING HEAVY IN DEMNITIES. CLAIMS SAID TO BE EXAGGERATED. Rala' Claim tbe 11 eartcet-tier maa Tea Ualted State Ak for OOO.OOO No Plaa Made for ItalaJaa; the Food. Washington, April 13. The last advices to the State Depart men t from Mr. Rockhlll contain further details respecting the amount of ihe indemnities claimed from China by the powers. It appears that these claims have been much exaggerated in some statements, though tne sum total is still far In excess of the amount of money it is believed here China can raise. It is the Ullef of the State Department that the total claims should not be allowed to ex ceed $160,000,000 or $200,000,000. There Is as yet no confirmation of the report from Pekin that the in ternational commissioners have figured upon $300,000,000 as the limit of China's ability in the mat ter of raising funds. Accordingxto information received here, the British claim, so far as formulated, is reasonable in amount as com ared with other claims. In fact, the United States, Great Britain and Japan represent in these negotia tions the moderate element w hose desire it is to prevent the imposition of charges that shall destroy the Chinese government and result in the division of China. None of the claims Is in excess of $100,000,000 and even the largest is something less than this amount. This is In--lieved to be the Russian claim, which is fixed at $90,000,000. The German claim is flexible, ranging between $60,000,000 and $80,000, 000, but it is nearer the former mark at present, though it will doubtless grow. As already stated the claim of the United States is $25,000,000 and it will be seen that if the remaing powers are to be al lowed a proportionate share, the aggregate will be beyoud China's ability to pay. Nothing has yet been determined respecting the method of raising the indemnity fund, even after the agreement is reached. There is reason to believe that the kernel of the American proposition touching the distribution of the in demnity funds between the powers, is iouna in a suggestion tnat t'se allotment be made on the basis ol the number of troops actually em ployed by each power in the relief of the legationers. By this scheme, the forces biought into China sii.c the occupation of Pekin are regard ed as being entirely unnecessary to secure any lawful and unanimously desired end. On this basis Great Britain would rank first, Japan next, the United States third, and so on. The Indemnities in Detail. Berlin, April 13. The correspon dent of the Associated Pre hear? tonight from an authoritative source that the Chinese indeinnitis for war expenses, exclusive of the claims of private individuals and missions, have been fixed as follows: Russia, 360,000,000' marks (about $90,000,- 000); France, 260,000,000 (about 66,000,000); Germany, 240,000, 000 marks (about $60,000,000; Eng land 90,000,000 marks (about $33, 600,000.) France also will present claims for the indemnity of the Italian miss ion. Weddings and Commencements. So many inquiries have reached The Delineator In relation to the et iquette of weddings, etc., that Mrs. Frank L arued devotes her article on Social Observances in the May nam ber of The Delineator to the ques tion of weddings and the customs that are associated with them. The fashions for those who mour are constantly undergoing slight changts.. Tha May number of the Delineator describes in detail the materials and general appearance of nine mourning gowns. The article speaks of the various fabric and al so the various customs now most In vogue. Saved Her Slater, Loat her Owi life. Richmond, VaM April 12.
