In our hurried notico Thurs day evening we could not do jus tice to the unique social gather ing at Mrs. J P Cook's. It was the c'osing of the season for the Sorosis Book Club and the group took this occasion to extend courtesies to the Christian Reed, the Julia Magruder, the Beeth oven and the Thursday Evening study Clubs. While lillies, narcissuses and ferns in rich and graceful profus ion were nature's contributions, while silver candelabra, hand wrought centrb pieces in elabor ate spread in the dining room, and organdy and ribbon apparel as the wearers flitted as birds of the wing through the well fur nished aparuraents, first of pink, next of white and green, and next of red, crowned all with ar tistic beauty, and the smiling, happy faces, affable tones and kind and social bearings filled to fullness the measure of feninine culture, makiug the occasion , ideal. j MissOra Hoover met the la dies at the front door and led them to the parlor, where Mrs. I? E Harris, president of the So rosis; Mrs. J P Cook and Miss Montgomery received. After a few moments' pleasant conver sation Mrs. S J Ervin escorted the guest to the dining room, where Mrs. C F Ritchie and Miss Hervey served plaies of ice cream and strawberries and Miss Mary Lewis Harris and Miss Lena Leslie adding cako presented ihe plates to the guests. Whon the dining room had, been enjoyed to the full, Misses, Lucy Montgomery and Janie Richmond, attending the ice block pool of llappa in the rear hall lispensed the cooling viand, while last but not least, just before leav- i ing, Misses Ntn Cannon and Net lie Allen served coffee in the front! hall at the foot of the stairway, j Misses Mary Young and Elma' Cole presiding at the piano kept the apartments resounding with, harmonious echoes, putting tho aesthetic finish to ttie sweetness of pure delight. t!r. Vardrey Hnvu and tlio itumiwaj. Mr. Vardrey Brown had an experience Thursday about 5 p. m., out of which he came hurt to a degree that is only greeablo in contemplation of how much worse it might have been. Ho was standing in front of a bay mare, belonging to Brown Bros., hitched to a bug ry, aud near to the railroad track at the depot. A freight fraiu frightened theanimal which became frantic and, rearing up, threw Vardrey to the ground :ind dashed over h'm with the buggy which she kept with her Li 11 she struck a wagon near tho Fenix mill where she left it with )nly a slight damage. She headed lor the stable and had ood speed yet when, turning from Union to Depot street, she threatened to break tho Concord National Bank with her head, but afterwards didu't. She stop ped almost still at the sidewalk eurbing and took new bearings, then made another dash for the stable. Vardrey limps a little and claims he's not much hurt. It will take a bigger affair than this to make him afraid of a horse. Ji'aii-Anit'ricnn Exposition Opened.

Florida's Ureatest CitT Almest Wiped Out -Flames Swep 'a I'atli 2J Miles Through the Heart of the Ut j-1,300 Houses (Jone to Ashes. Jacksonville, Fla., suffered a most appalling fire on Friday, the 3rd inst. It started at. the South end of tho city in a shred ding machine of tho American Fibre Company. The wind was from the Southwest and soon assumed the proportions of a gale. -Very unfortunately the engiie to the water supply was disabled by accident and extra ordinary pressure was not avail able. The fire demon devoured one building after another in its northward course and eating to right and left it iconsumed 130 blocks in a distance of 24 miles. Ten thousand people are home less aud many are carrying on their backs the remnants of their possessions. Ledgers fled from one hotel to another with their effects only to find that they must move on.' The hotels destroyed were Windsor, St. James, Placide, United States, Girard, Glenada and Oxford. All the firo companies of Jack sonville and neighboring towns were powerless to stay the flames which leaped for blocks away and were fanned into great blazes. As the wind changed in to new directions, parts that seemed to have escaped were soon the victims. The court house with probably most of the records was lost. The financial loss will proba lily be $15,000,000. It is report ed that six lives were lost tho' it does not seem to be confirmed. It seems to bo the worst fire in the United States since that of Chicago in 1871. Mrs. Martha I'harr Dead. Mrs. Martha Pharr diod Fri day night at tho home of her son Mr. Samuel W Pharr, near Har risburg. Mrs. Pharr was near to four score years of age and labored for some ten years under the burden of age and bodily afflic tion. She leaves three sons and two daughters. She was a faithful member of Rocky River church, where the funeral will be conducted tomor row and the body will be laid to rest. Apples Without liloom. Mr. Cicero Cline has intro duced a new variety of apple iu to this section which is an oddity. It has no bloom. The fruit comes out from tho body of the tree and tho limbs in the mannor of figs. The variety originated in VVatauga county. Mr. Cline brought, grafts from there and now has several thrifty young trees of this new applo. The nurseries in the county have been getting grafts from Mr. line and will soon have trees for the market. Newton Enter prise, - p Court Abruptly Dissolved. A peculiar situation exists with regard to tho new 16th dis trict judgship. Court assembled in Asheville under Judge Jone and a venire of 250 men was be ing gathered to try the Emma post olliee robbers when the Judge received the decision of tho Supreme Court that he is not a judge of that court. He put on his hat and walked out, leaving the sheriff with tho court and f.he prisoners brought from Charlotte on his hands.

Nearly a Hundred Mothers With Their Babies Drowned. London, May 3 A special dispatch from Odessa, dated Aptil 26, purports to give an eye witness' story of the recent ferry boat disaster on the river Dnie per, near Katchkarovak, when almost a hundred mothers, with their babies, returning from the evening milking, were drowned. A sudden storm sprang up, there was a panic, the pontoons were swamped and only a few of those on the ferry wei-e saved by a boat. Three persons clung to a horse, which swam ashore. Practically every family in the village was renderod motherless by the disaster." North I'urullnu Millionaires.

Esquire Charles Shupping to day discovered a reminder of an tiquity in the pile of brick pulled down from the old Iledrick build ing on Innis street The article in question was a loaf of bread In the shape of a brick and on one side Was carved the letters "deokino." It is as hard as the brick among which it was found but it yields easily to the knife and appears to be a loaf of bread which was lost in the wall when it was built just thirty years ago. Salisbury Sun. Thirty years ago a minister POW of Vincland, N. J., but then of Prosperity, Pa., had a $20 bill stolen from him.

The exhibit is already nearly available, the State De partment of Agriculture having devoted for years a great deal of intelligent attention, to the es tablishment of a State Museum in which is assembled specimens of nearly every mineral, wood, crop and manufactured product in the State. Mr. Bruner, who has been engaged in the work of J making these collections for the last 20 years and Professor Holmes, who enjoys a national reputation in his special field, have already gone Into the work with energy and enthusiasm, and promises that the North State will make a brilliant display at Charleston. The Governor is heartily in sympathy with the enterprise, and the money for making the exhibit is available. Philadelphia and Baltimore and the Northern and Western States will find , in the exhibit from North Carolina much to inform them as to the richness cf the Southern field, which they wjll find it to their interest to culti vate. We shall have to work very hard if South Carolina is not to be beaten on its own soil by the other, and in some re spects, the greater Carolina. Charleston News and Courier. The Oritflu of Woman. A translation which has just been made by a Sanscrit work gives the following story of the origin of woman : In the beginning, when Twash- tri (the Hindoo Vulcan) came to the creation of woman he found that he had exhausted his ma terials in making man and had no solid elements left. In this dilemma, after profound medita tions, he did as follows : "He took the rotundity of tho moon, and the curver of creep ers, and the clinging of tendrils, ind the trembling of grass, and the slenderness of the reed, and the bloo n of flowers, and the lightness of leaves and the glancet of deer, and the joyous gayety of sunbeams, and the weeping of clouds, and the fickle ness of the winds, and the timid ity of the hare, and the vanity of the peacock, and softness of the parrot's.bosom, and the hardness of adamant, and the sweetness of honey, and the cruelty of the tiger, and the warm glow of fire and the coldness of snow, and the chattering of jays and com pounding all these together he made woman and gave her to man." Ex. More Furniture Making in High Point. H'gh Point, which is the cen tre of furniture manufacturing in the South has made another step forward. Tho Globe Fur niture Company with capital stock increased to $100,000 hau purchased the building and site of J Eiwood Cox and will run on a more extensive Boole and a greater variety of output. Mr. Cox will simply move his machinery to another point probably Greensboro. He does not propose to slack up in the spoke and handle business. To Sail for South Africa. Mr. Walter Peacock, son of Mr. J M Peacock, of this city, who has boen attending the med ical college at New Orleans, re ceived his diploma last week and will sail in a few days on a Brit ish steamer for South Africa and thence by London and Liverpool on his return home, He will to day take the oath of allegiance to the-British government. His duties onboard will be that of surgeon. Mr. Peacock is a bright young man and is destined to become one of the leading men of his profession, --Salisbury Sun, 29th. WhenT wit is kind as well as playful, when information knows how te be silent, as well as how to speak, when good will is shown to those who are absent as well as those who are pres ent, we may know that we are in good society. Ladies' Home Journal, "The royal road to wealth is paved with industry and frugal- ty." "Time well arranged indicates a well ordered, mind," The Boy M ho Whistles. Whistle away, my merry boy, With happy face and heart of joy; If it will help you x be strong. Whistle a tune when things go wrong. And whistling lightens it for you. If e'or your task is hard to do, Whether it be sowing the seeds, Hoeing tho corn, or pmling the weeds. Gathering fruit or raking tho hay. Or driving cows, whistle away. Whistle a tune, if you can't sing, And that should seem the next best thing That you can do, perhaps 'twill cheer The hearts of some who chance to hear. Better to whistle than to pout, And scold and fret no one can doubt; So keep a merry heart, my lad, And thus make other people glad. Do ail the good you can each day, And as you toil, whistle away.

Master Charlie Williams made his fourth birthday jolly on Thursday at his homo on West Depot street by inviting about twenty of his little playmates to join him in celebrating the event. He fed them on ice cream, cake, bananas and candy. They had a good time from 3 to 5 and would be glad to have Charlie celebrate 100 more such. Country Itojs Hare Best Chance. "To my mind," says John D Rockefeller in "Success," there is something unfortunate in being born in a city. Most young men raised in New York and other large centres have not had the struggles which come to us who were roared in the coun try. It is a noticable fact that the country men are crowding out tho city fnllows who have wealthy fathers. They are wil ling to do more work and to go through more for the sake of winning success in the end. Sons of wealthy parents haven't a ghost or show in competition with the fellow from the country with a determination to do soma thing in the world." Dr. Pool Passes Examination. Dr. G M Van Poole, who was sent to Manila last August as acting assistaut surgeon of the United States Army, has recently passed an examination for reg ular service and will soon be commissioned in that capacity. The examinations were very rigid. When they began exam ining there we're eighty appli cants but as the examination progressed the applicants, see ing that they could not pass, were allowed to withdraw one by one they dropped out until there were but fifteen who stood for service. Of these, seven failed to pass. Of the successful eight Dr. Van Poole stood second in grade. Salisbury Sun. Family Complications. Dayton, Ohio,, May 1.

More Mystery. An immense audience greeted Miss Anna T3va Fay at the opera house last uight. Except for the natural variation in tho form and answers to the questions in the last part of tho performance, the programme was the same as on the previous night. The mind reading, as it re sulted in the answers to ques tions, was just as mysterious as ever. Miss Fay was n-jt ex posed, nor was the solution of her power indicated. With tho greatest amount of ease sho re peated questions that were writ ten by persons in tho audience and hold in their hands, and she gave answers to all questions. To some sho gave information about relatives; to others about friends, dates and all sorts of happenings, and, if she missed the mark onco that fact did not appear. You merely sit still, write a questiou, hold it con cealed in your hand, think about it and the Mahatma tells you what's in your mind. Miss Fay will give a malinee this afternoon to ladies only,and a final porformance tonight. Other members of the company, the flying woman, the Luciors and tho singer of tho illustrated songs lend a pleasant diversity to the show. Charlotte Obser ver of 4th. Base Hull Gnnit-s Wi dncsilay.
