He was seen by a Mes senger reporter at The Orton last night, and says he will take charge as soon as the transfer of the affairs of the office can be made. Captain Craighill comes " here from Wlllet's Point, - in New York harbor, where he has been stationed as captain of the engineering.battalion. He la the son of the distinguished General Wm. P. Craighill, who for so many years was the able chief of engineers, U. S. A., and who is so highly regarded by the people of , Wilmington. Captain Craighill is about 36 years of age, and was promoted to a captaincy upon the recent retirement of his father. He graduated at West Point In 1885. He expects to remove his family to Wil mington at an early day. .' .Colonel Heap has been ' transferred from herS to Staten Island, New York, to be engineer of the Third Light House District.

He and his charming family have been con spicuous members of our social circle. and there is general regret that they are so soon to take their departure from our city. ' ' . Under. Colonel Heap's administration of the engineer work here, notable and gratifying results have been accom plished in the deeping of the Cape Fear bar and in widening and deeping the channel of the Cape Fear river, from Wilmington to the bar.

Enquiry has frequently heen made of us in regard to a solitary grave in the wilderness wear Lebanon chapel, on Wrightsvffle sound, the headstone bearing this inscription: "Known in Eternity" and the stone ait the foot "J. J. H.t 1833," nothing more. More than three score years ago there stood, within a short distance of this lonely grave, a rough : tog house, with clapboard roof, which was used during the week as a school house for the children of those who spent their summers on the sound, and on Sun-, days for religious purposes, Where in the interregnum between the regular visits of the rector of St. James in Wil mington, the services of the church were conducted by lay readers duly appointed for 'that purpose. . They were devout and ,earnes't"m!en and commanded the respect and es teem of all classes of society. Dr. Thos. H. Wright was one and there were Mr. James S. Green and Capt. F. N. Gamier and others whose names are not now recalled. Among the teachers o the schools were Mr. George Hooper, who subsequently removed to Alabama, the Rev. John Burke, a . Roman. Catholic priest primarily, but Who recanted and connected himself 'With the Epis copal denomination and was ordained a minister of that church. He was a fine scholar and Was as fond of the classics as "Domsie" In that' charming book of "Maclaren's," he "Bonnie Brier Bush." A large number of boys attended the school, the Bradley, Davis, Burrs, Lippitits, Greens and others, and among them a youth named John J. Hurat, He was a nephew of the Rev. Thomas P. Hunt, a't that time pastor of the Pres bpterian church in Wilmington and a popular lecturer on temperance. He was a very bright, manly fellow and greatly esteemed by hft schoolmates, but in the early fall of 1833, he sickohed and died at the resid-enae. of Mrs. Giles on Lee's creek, which is still occupied by members of that estimable family His uncle, the Rev. Mr. Hunt, placed that tombstone over his remains and its singularity caused considerable comment at the time and has give rise to many enquiries since. It is a lonely 'grave tn the woods, but the birds sing merrily above it and the last rays of the setting sun throw a halo around 4t as one read's the only inscription upon the stone of the peace ful Hooper beneath, whose identity has long since been forgotten here,, but who is surely "known in eternity."

Secretary Mrs. Dudley Burkheimer. Treasurer Mrs. Margaret Kings bury. It was decided to meet "every first and third Tuesdays of each month at 4 (p. m. and for the present in the par lors of the Y. M. C. A. It was also de cided to send an official communica tion to the generous donors to the Woman's Hospital In -connection with the Ladles Benevtotot Society, request ing them to make the same offer t.o the Hospital Gufld, as their work is identical with that done by the Ladies Benevolent Society. There being no other business the meeting adjourned. All ladies who will unite, are requested to meet with the guild oai Tuesday, the 16th, at 4 p. m. The following paper was read: Ladies-: I wish to argue one point this afternoon tn connection with our work, but it embraces many thoughts and will show t'he crying need of work in this line. HEALTH VERSUS DISEASE. Women in this decade are making noble efforts to revolutionize society and humanity, and the twentieth cen tury will dawn on many advancements in these lines; but if we wish to suc ceed we must first sitrike at the root. Statistics show that twfcthirds of the women In the mad houses today are1 there as a result -of some impaired organ. This is the branch of work we purpose to carry on. Can a woman sick or 111 from some cause distinctly feminine, successfully perform the du ties of a mother? If this land were full of well mothers. I do not think there would he much need of insane asy: lums. infirmaries, hospitals and . the like. What is to be done then? American women are particularly prone to such ailments. There must be some remedy, and if women all over this land would help each other as they Should, then much of the misery of which humanity is cursed, would forever vanish, and si'n and ignorance to a great extent oassr awav as a clou Id, upon wniroh bursjts the dear dawn. Cannot you see then the great importance of well mothers and daughters? Our work will largely decrease It, give health to many who are suffering, and who for some cause the Almighty has- put out of their reach the nect'af which, to them, means not only nersonal relief from pain, but 'the hope of healthy offspring, which will bless humanity. How often have we not visited among the poor in our charity wards and our hearts and "senses appalled With the sight which met our eyes? Upon some miserable couch, a mother, sick and ill, around her hungry, ill kept Children. Ask her what is the cause, and ten to one .she will tell you she is dying of some female disease with no hope of relief, no where to go, and the father tiTed'and Worn with "ill. luck" has fall en into sin and vice. How our desire burns to help her. Reverse the picture the mother returned to her family, well and happy. Visit her again, rosy faced, clean children greet you. The mother busy with the loving care of her little family and the father re turning from his daSly toil, happy and content. This is one of the many pen pictures which is a study, and Shows women only too well, where her mis sion lies. All this, and much more could the noble women of out land do, if we would not give up our lives to pleasure and society. Our noble southern women, who staid riot their helping hands ih time of war, to the wounded, dying -soldiers, will She now shrink from duty because the burden Is heavy? Look at crime and Sin as a consequence of sickly mothers, Oah.an over burdened, sick woman, (teach her little children of the love of God and the consequences of sin and evil Companionship? No! indeed. Our city streets are fullv of dirty little ur chins who hardly know His name and who grow up in an atmosphere of sin and iniquity. Is there any wonder then, that there are so many xost lives, sui cides and sin in the world? But let the mothers be well and see the difference. It is like well oiled machinery.. Perhaps every one does not look at it sk se riously. If the mind 5s clouded by dis ease, we cannot hope to remedy the evil; the senses become stunted and the hope for higher cultivation of mind and body impaired. A woman is the fountain and mainspri: g by which the world is kept moving, but if itoo much Is laid upon her the result, is a crippled posterity. If only our women could re--alize the Importance of this work! God oreatied her as a help meet; she was not merely Intended for a doll or toy, and in what more loyal way can she perform her duty than training well, clear minded sons, Who are the men of the future) to rule our country in mor ality and Christianity? I trust every woman will see the neeessriy now, of out work, for the ultimate g'ood of our land. When stumbling stones are placed in o.ur way, overcome them ; every joy we covet, and every aim in life is sweeter through trials and pri vations. BS do jiOt despair because we cannot see the flower when the seed is sown. A little done, end dlone well, is worth years of work in worthless gain. ' i . . We scorn to waft for the things worth having, We want high wn, ait the day's dim i - ' dawn, i J We find no pleasure fn toiling and saving As our forefathers did ih the good day gone. We force our roses before their season, To bloom and blossom that we may wear, ' ' And then wonder and ask the reason Why! perfect buds are so few and "' rare?! Better the old, old. way of striving, And counting small 'gains when the year is done, Than 'to use our forces all in contriving To grasp for the laurels we have not won. MRS. E. B. BURKHEIMER. The President to Receive Lilioukalanl I Washington, March 9. President McKinley has signified his Intention of receiving Liluokalani, the "former queen of Hawaii, in response to her request "for an audience, just as soon as the rush of visitors is over. The president does not intend to make any specific arrangements at this time with any one, excepting sen-altars and oth ers with whom lie wishes to consult. If the ex-queen wants to see him she must take her chances with everybody else. At the present time Uliuokal'anJ can see the president by waiting her turn with the scores of public .men who want hiis ear for a moment, but she will not be afforded the opportunity of an extended conversation. Her reception by the president later on will be purely informal. is the Best Spring Medicine World. It makes the weak strong. We have it. - JOHN H.

The Mechanic Ignored, ' The republicans always make a pa rade of their love for the mechanic. It is never anything but a parade and pretense. This was shown . when their caucus decreed to elect, and yesterday their erovernor appointed, J. Y. Ham- rick to succeed Mr. B. R. Lacy as labor commissioner. Mr. Lacy is a skilled mechanic, having been a locomotive engineer for sixteen years, and has made a most efficient officer. Mr. Ham- rick had but two claims for the place, 1. He declared for Russell for governor more than a year ago; 2. He spent a month in Raleigh in the early part of this sesion of the legislature, working for the election of Pritchard, while claiming to be a populist. The farmers have their -representa tive in the -agricultural department ; the educators in the superintendent of public instruction; the lawyers in the attorney general's office and on the bench, and the fishermen in the oyster commissioner. But the mechanic alone is denied representation in the depart ment created for his special service There will be a day of reckoning Raleigh News and Observer. -- Russell's Mistake. Russell'mad'e a great mistake, for his own and his party's future, in his in sistence upon the disgraceful blockade of legislative business tn the house the latter part of last week in order to de feat the Southern railway lease. The people may have condemned the lease to tbe Sljuthrn on account of the long time it had run, but theyJwill condemn far-, more the blocking of public busi ness by such outrageously unjust means as Russell made his bootlickers in the legislature resort to.

For sale by Druggists. The Proposed So gar Duty. . Washington, March 9. The outlines of. the sugar, schedule were agreed upon today by the republican members of the ways and means committee. Only two points were definitely decided, but they will form the skeleton of the en tire . schedule. Thse two points were that the duties on sugar should be a specific rate of $1.62 for each TOO pounds of sugar testing ninety-six de grees' and a concession of 12 cents per 100 pounds under a reciprocity ar rangement. This will afford a con siderably higher average rate than the existing sugar schedule, and will add about $20,000,000 to the annual revenu The points which remain to be decided are the distribution of the duty on sugar above and below ninety-six de grees, including the differential duty on refined sugar and the countervailing duty to be levied upon sugar from bounty-paying countries. The duty on sugar below ninety-six degrees will-, probably be a fraction of a cent less for each degree, according to the polar iscopic test, down to a certain point, which will be made the minimum duty. The differential duty, which af fords the protection to American re finers, will be about the same as under the existing law 18 cents a pound. The reciprocity concession will constitute 12 cents upon every 100 pounds of iSUgar testing ninety-six ; degrees and the same proportionate concession will run through the schedule of sugars testing a less number of degrees. There will probably be no concession greater than this upon refined sugar. The present countervailing duty agains1. etfgar from bounty-paying countries is 1-ltf of a ivnf a pound. The duty under the new jaw will probably not be named In the law, but'fhe secretary oi the treasury wil be authorized to ascer tain what bounty is paid by countriei from which sugar is imported into thl United States and to levy upon suet sugar an additional duty equal to thl bounty. The details will be consideret tomorrow and probably settled at tha! time. The woolen scheme will tfcen be taken up for action. The declf'OQ to adopt the specific system of duties is contrary to the wishes of the Ameri can Sugar Refining Company, where rap resentatives have urged that the ad valorem system of duties to be re tained. Training of the Pugilists. Carson, Nev., March 9. The snow melted swiftly under the sun today and the roads are once more drying in patches. Corbett and Fitzsmmons put in three hours hill climbing this morn ing preparatory to their regular train ing. Corbett opened the ball this morning by walking and sprinting around the foot hills. Jim does not relish this kind of work, believing that it makes him slow. His trainers insist that he must take at least a short walk every morhng from now on, how ever, and he has given in to their judg ment. Just to show that he could hit, Jim disabled two punching-bags in ten minutes this afternoon. He went through the entire bill of fare from hand ball to wrestling, without a pause and barely raised a perspiration. Fitzsimmons did not permit his do mestic cares to interfere with his train ing. He was up with the birds in tha morning and off for a long walk after breakfasting with his wife ana oaoy. The afternoon began with a little game of hand ball, which was soon dropped as monotonous. Forty minutes were devoted to bag-punching of the vicious order, before the wrestling mat i was spread. Once through with Roeber at this game. Bob went for Hlckey and Stenzler with his gloves, taking them on in turn for eight three-minute rounds each. He was as frisky as a kitten while being rubbed down, and made no complaint about sore joints. The town is filling with street fakirs and beggars. Marshal Kinney has rounded up two bunches of hobos with-, in a week, and shipped them out of the state. He is spotting a fresh lot to night and will give them passports to morrow morning. Dan-Stuart was annoyed today by a report telegraphed back from the east that he had . quarreled with United States District Attorney Jones over money matters and that in consequence there was a possibility of federal inter ference before the big fight could be pulled off. "The fact of the matter -is this," asserted Stuart, "Mr. Jones has performed considerable legal work for me. . Yesterday he presented his bill. I checked it oft with Mr. Wheeler this morning and handed over the money. There was no quarrel and no thereats were made. That is the whole story."- The district attorney denied warmly that any friction existed between him self and Mr. ' Stuart and ridiculed the idea of federal intervention. TRUSTS AND MONOPOLIES. Report of the Lexow Committee on Its In vestlgatlon Its Recommendations Syn. opsts of Bills Being Drafted by it for Bemedy of Existing Evils of Monopoly by Bis; Corporations and Trusts. Albany, N. Y., March S. The Lexow committee met this morning and the members affixed their signatures to the report of the trust investigating committee. The report is an unusually lengthy one, embracing thirty-eight type-written pages. The testimony taken before the com mittee, the decision of other investigat ing committees and of the United States supreme court are commented yur at length, and much attention is rv5ij?d to the operation of factors' agresments. In brief, tha ronnrt ogm. Trust agreements no 1 basis or. or are thev a. rnnatrihiDrn- v of the -aggregations of capital which aie vommomyiooKeoupon now as trusts In discussiner this nupotinn vi viuata, the committee finds that ft is unneces sary that absnllltA Tnnnnnn.lv - . ,1 j -III. order that the operation of a trust iimy ue secarea. x'ne comniittee di vides combinations and capital into three classes.

The committee does not quite agree that the trusts and monopolies com plained of are a natural result of the progressive evolution of the times, and w une i. aoes not recognize all com binations of capital as truslts in thp proper sense, it iiwa i.arn. - - ' - V'e 11 lUO-l unless the evils complained of against ..lan.iuuiu romDmauons or wealth, at tempting tO COntrOl the Dimnlr. - wijr 1HU price of products are checked it will be but a short time before a continuance of the operation of such combinations will tend to stifle competition ana place the regulation nf onnriw o-ni product, as well as the business of the cimmry, in tne hands of a few. ToUChine the niiMHnn i " .i vt vTci-uayi- talization of these modern combina tions of wealth, the committee finds that this is one of the most serious evils which lead tn tha v,i against trusts for not being content to a iair return on the actual capita mvcBLcu. j.ney seeK to wring increas ed profits out of the consumers by rea son oi an over-capitalization. The committee; condemns tHo - . " -i I' i i.l- IT V ! domestic capital operating in this state under the ' incorporation of another state, and especally New Jersey. The committee succeeded in scuring copies of the factors' agreements in use by all of the different corporations investi gated, and finds that their the system of monopoly which has ueisprenu me country, and renders sucn comomauons or wealth perma nent, by making competition impossi ble. It is obvious that, as the federal courts nave placed so narrow a con struction uoon the limit nf thoir o thority, no relief touching the operation of factors' agreements can be expected iroin mat quarter, except through th aid or a constitutional amendment. It Seems to US that the onprntinn nf fnioto and especially factors' agreements, can oe sausractoriiy reached only by th exercise of a nnwpr nf niwrai -i,,a diction throughout the TTnitcwi stotoo and that anv attemnt t evil by local legislation will prove a-oortive, or, at least, Insufficvient.

The committee rpmmmnili an 1 now preparing a bill carrying out these suggestions, ana will make provision for the right of a ctizen to begin a civil action and secure an injunction aganst any trust operatng in this state Jn violation of these recommendatons, with the final view of having the li cense of a foreign corporaton to do business in this state revoked If it i found that such foreign corporaton is not complying with all the provisions of New York state laws. This is a method so drastic that it will be further considered by the committee before a bill is finally submitted. An important difficulty seems to be that of securing the testimony neces sary to a Judicial ascertainment of a violation of any provisions of New York state laws by so-called trust or foreign corporations. .The committee is preparing a bill which will empower the attorney general to investigate a trust on the complaint of any citizen of an alleged violation of law, which bill will empower the attorney general to examine witnesses under subpoena, to be issued on the attorney general's ex parte application by a" Justice of the supreme court. The examination of witneses by the atorney general is to be conducted in the presence of a court of Justice and the testimony Is to be filed in the attorney general's office. This law will give immunity from pun ishment to witnesses testifying on sub poenas issued by the attorney general. The committee is not yet satisfied that it can frame a law restricting the operation of factors' agreements which will-, be constitutional, About Pneumatic Tires. r An important point in favor of double-tube tires is that they are greatly more durable. The single-tube tire Is all right for a very short time, but its ayeragi life, pwing to the pe culiarities Of its construction is but a few months. When the single-tube is once punctured it seems impossible to pair it so that If will remain air-tight. The plugs, whether vulcanised in or not. soon work loose, beside disfigur ing the tire and making hard lumps, which on a smooth road can be felt at each revolution of the wheel.

The South ern States "Association which largely controls the railroads passing through the territory south of the Potomac, and east of the Mississippi is probably on the eve of re-organization. In response of a call, representatives of a number of lines interested met In this city to day. " The meeting was held , behind closed doors, and It was at once agreed that the Southern States' Freight. Associa tion should be re-organized. A com mittee to report a plan of re-organization was appointed, and ' while they were out th meeting took a recess. -The body reconvened at . 3 o'clock, and the committee reported a plan which proposes to do away with the office of commissioner, and in his stead substi tute an advisory board of eight, whose chairman shall be empowered to act for them, though his powers will not be nearly so great as those of the commis sioner under the present organization. The report contemplates the continu ance of the rate committee and execu tive board of the association, but pro poses to abridge theli; powers. The report was discussed at consid erable . length, and it apparently met with the unanimous endorsement of the officials present. It was deemed inex pedient to take action, though, and the report was laid over until the 22nd, when another meeting will be held here and some final action will be taken. SPECIAL NOTICES.
