Lo.e That Didn't Run Snioothe.
Mr. , ot 20 years and Miss
, of sweet lb, both ol Lex
ington, are in tho thries of mu
tual passion called love in which
there is just no enduring life un
married. But alas! there came
objections from those who have
endurej similar agonies and
have survived them and gained
wisdom thereby. So in this case
mamma protested. Well Esquire
Bailes has not gone any where
nd the young folks proceeded
by country road on Wednesday
and reached Concord Wednesday
night, expecting to proceed with
a Iresh team this (Thursday)
inornfng ere the chickens
cvlighted;from the perches.
But that mamma, who is so
'.rood when we have headache or
toothache and when we want
some sweet morsel, crossed the
threshold of Mr. JO Lippard's
residence, on Spring street, in
t he deep, dead hours of the nigho
and claimed her child to the
great discomforture of the pros
pective groom.
All the parties retnrned to
Lexingtou today which is some
what like catching a fox and
.urning it loose for anotiier
chase, for lovers laugh at locks.
It is due to the mother, how
ever, to say that her objections
are on the account of the age of
her dausrhter and in this she de
serves much sympathy, and the
daughter whose passion robs her
of a mother's kindly advice and
ripe experience is to be pitied.
Trade at Home.
The Journal is not a paper
rying to run other people's
..ffairs, yet ai the sj,mo lime it is
tae duty of any paper to protect
as much as possible its home in
terests. Now that our merchants
here and those of all the towns
i j the county, have put in large
stocks of goods and are selling
at very small profits, we desire
ui impress upon all the fact that
ir, is our duty to spend what
money mustbe spent at home.
Wheu the farmer needs credit
the merchant at home is always
iie one to lend a hand. He
pays the tax that goes to keep
uoour towns in every way and
helps to build your school bouses
and your churches. And if you
owe him, don't cross the 6treet
rather than meet him face to
luce, but go in his store, pay
vliatyou can on accounts, and if
iou must buy anything, buy
irom him. Tnis is certainly the
best way to do. The home mer

Los Angeles county is gotting

ne board of supervisors con
tacted for 20,000 barrels of
crude oil to bo used for dust

delivered.
The local firm that secured
ihe contract has 12 teams on the

loads each day to various parts
f the county. It is the iutent

all the the principal roads with

may be necessary to secure still
more oil.
The city isalsodjing a little
in the way of dust laying by the

Washington, May, 22. Bishop
Thoburn, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church of India and
Malaysia, was before tho Senate
eomimtteo on Philippines today.
He said the American occupation
of the Philippines should be con
tuiud In tie course of his
examination ho said that the
iVmerican occupation was an
act of God. This led to quite f
ong line of questions by Sen
.tor Patterson, in which the
bishop was asked whether the
occupation of Cuba was an act
f God, and when he replied in
tho allirmativo, Senator Pat
torson asked if the withdrawal
was also the act of God.
"It is too soon to answer that
he replied. "Tho United States
may have to go back there."
Senator Patterson pursued
the questions to some length and
ihe bishop finally pronounced
them "metaphysical.
Senator Beveridee objected,
saying tho questions were
unnecessary and Sonator Pat
terson remarked that whenever
the questions were such as to
tiring out evidence which the
majority did not want an excuse
was made for objection. Chair

objection, jjishop i hoburn wu!

Literary Lesson.
We are now reconciled that
the event of Mrs. B E Harris'
entertainment on the 23rd es
caped us, as we can present it
from a more fluent pen which
alone could do it justice.
"The happiest occasion of the
season in Concord was the
reception given this evening,
from 5 o'clock to 7. p. m., by
Mrs. Brevard E Harris, at her
home on North Union street.
The parlors of this cozy resi
dence were beautifully decorated
with flowers and foliage plants
and illuminated with soft lights,
and' were thrown into connection
oy wide open communicating
doors. Tne whole interior was
a vista oi loveliness, so m
anged by the exquisite taste ol
the hostess as to charm every
guest on the moment of arrival.
The reception parlor was in
decorations of white and green;
the second parlor was filled with
a golden glow by masses of
yellow blooms; the third was a
crimson bower of scarlet roses
and geraniums and the dining
room a fragrant scene of white
and pink roses.
Master Brevard E Harris and
little Miss Marie Caldwell, in
white costume and pink ribbons,
were present to receive the
cards of the guests who were
ushered from the entrance into
the reception parlor by Miss
Rose 'Harris. Here they were
given most gracious greeting by
the charming hostess and by
Mrs. J P Allison and Mrs. W W
Stuart. Shortly after the party
was assembled, Misses Lottie
Boyd, Lizzie Young, Lena
Leslie and Mary Lewis Harris
distributed pencils and paper
that each one present might
enter the contest which had been
devised to give zest and pleasure
to the passing hour. This con
test might properly be called the
game of recognition, as it t
sisted in recognizing and naming
the national banners which were
conspicuously displayed around
the parlors for thorough in
spection. There were 24 of
these flags, miniature models,
made of finest silk, beautiful and
exact representations of the
ensigns ol as many nations.
Some of them were easily re
cognized, and others not so
familiar, were a tax on the
memory to designate. The con
test was not only spirited and
interesting, but was also an
acquisition of valuable informa
tion. The notes were passed
over to a commute of two, for
inspection and while awaiting
award of the prizes, Miss
Melissa Montgomery and Mrs.
J M Odell. with their corps of
assistants, Misses Lena Leslie,
Lizzie Young, Lottie Boyd and
Mary Lewis Harris, served the
guests with strawberry ice
cream, in menngue shells and
white pound cake and fancy
akos. Frappe was gracefully
offered in the second parlor by
Mrs. J P Allison and Mrs. W W
Stuart. The first prize, a china
late, exquisitely hand-painted,
he rim gold banded, and in the
centre a picture of Old Glory,
mounted on a flagstaff aud float
ing above a rifted oloud, was
given to Miss Bettie Leslie, who
made over 60 per cetit. correct
answers. The booby prize, a
box of carJs, each one bearing a
flag of some nation, a really
valuable trophy, was given to

A a Explosion in a Itritisli Columbia Oal
Mine Brings Death to Many Miners.
Vancouver, B, C, May 23. A
special from Fernie, B. C, says:
'"In the terrible explosion at 7:30
last evening in No. 2 shaft of the
Crow's Nest Pass Coal Com
pany's mine, near Fernie, which
also extended to No. 3 shaft,
only 35 of the 300 men working
in the mine are known to have
escaped. Nine dead bodies have
been taken out up to noon today.
Of 160 men entombed it is
feared the majority are dead.
The scenes at the mines and in
the village of Fernie are heart
rending. Hardly a house has
escaped affliction. The work of
rescue is being hurried and per
,t order prevails, assistance
coming from every available
source. The presence of coal
damp is adding to the danger of
rescue work. A fear has become
general that the mines may catch
tire at any time and survivors
are being besought by their rel
atives not to venture into the
safts even for rescue work."

A dispatch of the 23rd from
lamburg brings the intelligence
iiat the town of Queszaltenango,
Guatemala, was destroyed by an
earthquake within three-fourths
of a minute with its 25,000 inhab
itants. The dispatch further
ays:
"It was reported from Guate
mala City, Guatemala, April 20,
taat earthquake shocks, which
were general throughout that
country April 19 and 20, partly
obliterated the town of Queszal
t mango and badly damaged
Mattlin, Solola, Santa Lucia and
iau Juan. Two hundred per
sons were reported killed, mostly
women, aud many people were
injured. Queszaltenango has a
population of 25,100 people, is
handsomely built and well paved
and has a richly-decorated ca
thedral, several other churches
and a fine city hall."
It is not clearly stated whether
the dispatch of the 23rd refers
lo a second disaster or whether
recounts of tho same experience
differ.
A dispatch from the city of
Mexico dated the 23rd says:
"The dispatch from Hamburg
tonight stating that a paper
there has advice that the town
of Queszaltenango, Guatemala,
had been wholly destroyed by an
earthquake shock has been re
ceived here. No shock was felt
here, as was the case on April
18 last, when a shock was felt.
It is possible the Hamburg paper
may have received mail advices
referring to this earthquake."
