Baleigh, Jan. 16 The Senate today passed the House bill for the incorpora tion of the Durham and Sotfxh Caro Una Railroad company with authority to Duna rosd from Durham to some point on the South Carolina line. In the House Murphy, of Bowan, in troduced a bill to re-enact chapter 29 of the laws of 1899, relative to divorce, Warren, of Jones, to make the sal' aries of the Supreme and Superior court judges (3,000. The Scales bill, pending in the Senate, makes the sal' aries (4,000. Alexander, of Mecklenburg, to amend Section 8854 to further define vagrancy. Graham, of Lincoln, to promote poultry interests and aid the North Carolina Poultry Association. Both branches were in session about an hour. Raleigh, Jan. 17. In the Senate bills were introduced to establish an immigration bureau; amending the di vorce laws; aiding Confederate soldiers and sailors; for the better government of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Inetitu tions; to protect watersheds; protecting human life by requiring fire escapes on public buildings. Bills passed in corporating the Winston-Salem South bound Railroad; protecting the groweis of ginseng. In the House, bills were introduced compelling Indians in Swayre county to attend school; preventing the deal ing in futures. Bills passed final read' ing incorporating the Durham & South' bound Railroad Company; conferring on magistrates Jurisdiction for the of fence of beating trains. There was alto a long discussion of the bill regulating the Bale of meal in packages nd fixing the standard at 48 pounds. The bill was referred to the committee on ju diciary to inquire into its constitution ality. Its opponents claim it to be in restraint of trade. It was notable! yesterday's session of the Legislature that only one bill each passed the House and Senate. This fact is indicative of strong and ef fective committee work. It was ex pected by many that the session would be long and laborious, but the Senate was in session less than twenty-five minutes, aud very few new matters were introduced, those of most im portance being the petition of the Western North Carolina conference in regard to the divorce evil, and the other being the bill of Mr. Stringfield order, ing that a head stone be placed at the head of the grave of every deceased Confederate soldier in North Carolina. It is also evident frotn the number of liquor bills already introduced, that this General Assembly will break re. cords in whiskey legislation, and at present there teems to be no sign that the demand for new rum laws will soon cease. The bill before the Legislature, pro viding for the Soldiers' Home, carries 116,000 annually for maintenance this year and next year, $3,000 for building improvements this year and $2,000 for next pear. This will enable the home (o provide for 150 veterans. Canity Wood. Mooresvllle Enterprise. Farmers who sold their cotton a year ago for 12, 14 and 16 cents a pound failed, and some refused, to cut wood sufficient for the demand threghoui this section, but, it is said by a man who is well posted, the same fellows have cotton now at 7 cents and arej paying enormous prices lor wood, ibe axe can be heard in all quarters just now, there being more profit in wood than in cotton.

We are told that the men in the Ce lestial Empire were the first to hit upon the mariners' compass, the eatne of chess, the manufactuqfgof paper, and the art of printing by means of movtj ble types. If they were tm first to in' vent the art ofprinting, the mystery is, why they didn't go a little further back with their inventive genius and invent a decent language in which to use the "art preservative." This is a veritable Chinese puzzle, and next to the language itself, the-"Chineseests puzzle is a Chinese font of type. Your correspondent has just been ex amining with wonder and awe and amazement and amusement one of (he five fonts of Chinese type of the China Baptist Publication Society here at Canton. Think of it? otee font ha 12,000 boxes, and over 200,000 pieces of type! . As these people have no al phabet, every word is a separate char' acter, and the dictionaries give more than. 40, 000 different words. Of course many of these words are rarely used, so this publication society, the mag nitude of which the most interested friends - in America never dreamed, keeps blank types on hand, and keeps a man on hand to engrave new pieces, rare words, as they are needed. We stood dumbfounded when Rev. R. E, Chambers, of .Virginia, the general manager of the establishment, asked us to call out any word, and when in stantly compositor wearing a pigtail stepped across the compartment and picked up the proper type and handed it to us. Again and again the test was tried, and again and again the almond eyed ueiestiai produced, tne proper hieroglyph almost before you could wink. TheBe Chinese are a wonderful people, and for obvious reasons, their memories are abnormally developed, and their language is "fearfully and wonderfully made." Once considered "an invention of the devil to keep the Gospel out of China," it is now the vehicle through which it is being car ried to myriads, and over 200,000 vol umes were isBued from these presses during last year. Canton, China, November 24. Aa C nlnformed Chicago Wan Starts Vl(ht Wheat He Overbears Bible Lesson. Chicago, Jan. 17. "It happened this way," said James Carter to Justice Caverly. "I was reading the Bible to my little son Jimmy about Cain and Abel. - 'Cain killed bis brother and Cain was a murderer,' I said. Just then Mike Kane here rushed in the door and yelled 'Who is murderer?' I wssn't thinking of him and said: 'Cain is a murderer.' "With that he knocked me across the room and then jumped on me and choked me until I was nearly dead. Take it back,' be said. 'Take what back ?' I asked. 'That I am a murderer and killed my brother,' he said. 'I take it back,' I said. 'I meant the Cain in the Bible.' You're a liar,' he said. "The Kanes in the Bible are all right, aren't they ?' Tben he choked me some more. 'Yes,' I said, 'they're all right.' " "Ten dollars for you, Mike Kane," said the Judg. "The Cains in the Bible are not all right. Go and read it." Diamond Mine on Cat's Tall Sends Hoy to Prison. Detroit, Jan, 17. William Hender son, of Galesburg, nephew of William Ward, also of that town, was two years ago sent to the reform school for boys at Lansing on conviction of stealing a (1000 diamond ring from bis uncle. In the Ward family is a cat, not yet three years old, which has been ex hibited as a curiosity because of the formation of its tail, which was con tracted in the middle and bulged out like the links of a sausage in the upper and lower portions. Recently a visitor in playing with the feline pet discov ered something bard in the tail. The cat was chloroformrd yesterday, the tail cut off in theXiddle and the ring Henderson was accused of stealine was found. Stepfltre being takenAp ootaft the boy's release. It is thought that the Ward baby got hold of the ring two years aa, crowded it (ver the cat's tail in play, and it has remained cqacealed all these months, while the growth of the animal from kitten to cat resulted in the malforma tion.

Pretty romances about mill girls marrying millionaires, such as you read about in summer novels, do not occur so often in every sjay life as to lose their novelty. Here is one. It is the story of how Ada Brierly, skirt maker, was made the mistress of a New York mansion. A few weeks ago she toiled ten hours a day for (7 a week. Now she is Mrs. Francis Talcott, next door neighbor o the Yanderbilts and the Whitneys. The man she married is a mighty good young American. Frank Talcott's father is a multi millionaire who made his money by manufacturing hosiery and knit goods. He has several large mills at New Brit tain, Conn. Frank decided to learn the business and after graduating at college began at the bottom aa a mill hand. That was two years ago. . Ada Brierly was the daughter of one of the foremen in the Talcott factory. She worked in a shirt factory. Her father is a fine type of of the American skilled workman and it goes without saying that she is pretty, sensible- and winsome. It was noted that Frank Talcott cared nothing for society. He had fallen in love with Brierly's daughter. So one day recently tne couple went quietly to the study of the Congregational minis ter and were married. What would father Talcot say? This is what he said when he heard of his ton's marriage: "If my son's wife worked in the mill I would think none the less of her. I know I was glad to work when I was young." Sensible, sane old pater familiae! There's no danger of the dry rot of American aristocracy of ingrown snob bery while your like lives. The mother and the girls, it is un derstood, do not reconcile themselves so easily. lalcott s daughters had elaborate weddings and married in swelldom. Frauk Talcott and bis wife don't care. Tbey are happy. And the story itself needs no stage setting. Church-going Dos: la Dead. Winkteo, Conn,, Jan. 17. "Gip", Williams, a church-going dog, died in Nontville, a Berkshire village, yester day and bis funeral was held to-day. Many children followed the dog to its burial place. . Gip, who was owned by a family named Williams, for years had attend ed prayer meetings and all the enter tainments in the village church. After the family had gone to prayer meeting last week Charles Richardson, who lives with the Williamses, said to the dog: "Gip, you can't go to church to-night." The dog walked into the next room and went through the win dow, sash and all. Arriving at the church Gip pushed the swinging door open and took his accustomed seat with the cougregation. Belle of a Ball Charges Beaux $20 a sranee. Chicago, Jan. 17. Miss Italia Blair, belle of last night's charity ball charged admirers t0 a dance and by strict at tention to business and many changes of partners succeeded in making (200. Miss Lea Small," hearing of Miss Blair's scheme, cut the price to (10 and she gathered in (120. Miss Blair is a daughter of Banker Chauncey J. Blair and is twenty-one years old. When Mrs. Palmer heard of the pre cedent she said: "Very clever, indeed." The ball netted (30,000. The netted young beauty in the car riage looked with dismay at the mud that lay between her and the sidewalk. "I think it was Sir Walter Raleigh," she said, "that threw his cloak upon the e round on a certain memorable oc casion that his queen might not get her shoe muddy." "You're my queen all right," replied the young man in the case, "but if Sir Walter Raleigh had been a clerk on a lary of (10 a week be would have done exactly what I'm going to do." Whereupon he carried her to the sidewalk but did it S3 nicely that she foaftave him. Bralally Tort a red.

Those who do their own thinking know that s great many of the current sayings handed down from put gener ation are far from being true. For instance, who has rftt heard that Aid slander, "Preachers' sons are the wont boys in the world." And Tots of thoughtless people believe it to be true, More being expected M them their pec cadilloes only seem worse. The "American Boy" quotes a noted French scientist, who had made a thorough investigation of the subject, as saying that the sons of ministers make up a large proportion of the world's great men. The following are some of the names givsn: Agaasiz, Hallam, Jonathan Edwards, Whatley, Parkham, Bancroft, the Wea leys, Beechers and SpurgecTns, Cowper, Tennyson, Lowell, Holmes, Emerson, Charles Kingsley, Matthew Arnold, Dean Stanley, Macaulay, Thackeray, Sir Christopher Wren, Sir Joshua Rey nolds, Swift, gterne, Hazlitt, Presidents Cleveland and Arthur, Peter Stuyve sant, Adoniram Judson, Timothy Dwight, Henry Clay, Fritz Green Hal leek, Morse, the inventor; Justices Field and Brewer and Senator Doliver. Trying to Beat a Ride for Bis Boy. Stateevllle Landmark. "I've been up against a good many skin games in my time," said Capt. W. T. Rowland, of the A. T. and O. vestibule, while going south Friday morning, "but I've just struck one that is a little strong." Being asked to explain the captain proceeded to tell that while passing through the second- class car he noticed that a man who occupied the end of the seat next the aisle had his overcoat carefully arranged on the end of the seat next the window. Ever time the conductor passed the passenger was carefully adjusting the overcoat, and Capt. Rowland's suspi cions were aroused. Thereupon he dropped into the seat back of the sus pect and made it convenient to shove the overcoat off the seat. Lo and be hold 1 the uncovering revealed a boy who must have been 10 or 12 years old. Half-fare for the boy, please," said Capt. Rowland. "It's a dirty trick for a conductor to move a passenger's overcoat, isn't it ?" continued the con ductor pleasantly. The passenger smiled in an absurd and embarrassing way while he handed out the cash for for the boy's fare and tried to explain that the boy was timid and afraid and that is why he covered him up, while the other passengers laughed outright at the exposure. But some people think it's all right to beat a railroad, and this passenger was not only doing it but training his boy up in deceit. Stomach Tronbles and Constipation. "Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets are the best thing for stomach troubles and constipation I have ever sold," says J. R. Cullman, a druggist of Potterville, Mich. "They are easy to take and always give satisfaction. I tell my customers to try thsm and if not satis factory to come back and get their money, but have never had a complaint.' Nor sale by M. L.
