Mr. T. R. Neel, of Davidson College, -writes: In 18S6 my little daughter sud denly and unaccountably lost all her ttiair. From the crown down and from ear to ear was as bald as the palm of the hand. Months and months passed and the frightful baldness remained. My physician, Dr. .Paul Barringer, recommended Mrs. Grier's Real Hair Tlestorer. Determined to give it a fair trial I bought a half dozen bottles. Three bottles of it faithfully used, pro duced no visible effect, but one morn 5ng, soon after beginning the fourth Ibottle, to our surprise and delight, a inew growth of hair appeared and so rapid and complete was the restoration hot onlv one more bottle was needed. Ten years have elapsed and no one has jh. finer suit of hair. Less than one bottle is often effectual In checking falling hair, iteaa inter nesting history of R. H. R. TT,Ti MRS. M. G.

Judge Randolph f Kansas was hear ing a divorce case last fall, says The Chicago Times-Herald. The witness was the plaintiff, a white-haired man, broken in health and in spirit, and wearing1 a bronze button in his lapel. The examination was severe and the session monotonous. ' '."You say your wife abused you; tell us just how," thundered the attorney. The witness looked appealingly at the judge. "Answer the question, sir," was the order from the bench. "Well, she said I was an old hypocrite to be rroud ot my war record.. She said all the brave men who went to the war were killed tand that only the cowards and deserters lived to come back, and " "Stop," commanded the aroused judge. "This divorce is granted. The court spent four years in that war and the court came back." The monotony was broken- for that day. It is to be hoped that the senate will place prosperity on the free list before finally passing the Dingley bill. New port News Press. WE ARE CONSTANTLY 'RECEIVING ; Superior Pianos.

The score was 17 to 10 in favor of Wilmington. Asheville Citizen: R. Constant of Polk county, has been in Asheville in search of his son Walter, who ran away from home more than a week ago. The boy was in Asheville last Monday. He is 16 years of age, medium sized, has broad teeth, and a scar on the back of his head. Any information as to the boy's where abouts will be gladly received by his father, whose address is Bright' s, Polk county, N. C. ... Fayetteville Observer: Judge Walter Clark's recent address at Richmond has attracted , wide spread attention, dis tinguished men (including the very high est) from many distant states writing their congratulations Rev. William Mont gomery Jackson, the new pastor of St. Joseph's colored Episcopal church, preached his first sermon in that hand some edifice yesterday. It was a good sermon, and his congregation are muen pleaded with him. He comes from Wil mington, where he has been pastor for a number of years. Winston Sentinel: Mr. Isaiah Jones, a farmer living below Waughtown. was as sautel and knocked down by his daughter- in-law, Mrs. Joseph Jones, one day last week. The Sentinel is informed that the father and his son are near neighbors. The father several times put rocks in a washout in the road, turning the water through the son's front yard. The daughter-in-law threw the rocks out of the road until "patience ceased to be a virtue." The last time she used a club or rock and knocked the old man sense less. Goldsboro Argus: Rev. E. V. Oakes closed his series of meetings in the Pres byterian church here last night, and left this afternoon for Faison. His meetings have been wonderfully refreshing. Sev eral citizens of Snow Hill were in the city today, and they are all looking forward to the time when they can come in on tne Snow Hill and Goldsboro railroad. Greene countv votes on the issue of bonds the 1st of June, and Goldsboro on the 14th of June, and the citizens of Greene feel reasonably certain that Goldsboro will stand by them in the enterprise. Greensboro Record: Dr. Hays had a goodly sum of insurance, exactly how much is not yet known, though he had $3,000 in the Royal Arcanium and the same amount in a company represented nere by J. B: Sneed. He had, perhaps, about the same amount in other companies, making a total of $la.000 or more. -Rev. S. O. Hall vesterday received into nis church sixteen members, all by profession of faith, the result of the recent pro tracted services held there. This makes an accession of forty-three within the past six months. At present the gold mining interests near oxford are attracting capitalists with a view to investing in the farm lands on which the indications of gold are very encouraging. A renaoie jan- fornia miner who. has examined the pras- reet. reoorts a rich vein of g-old deposit running through the private grounds of east Oxford. The worK ot digging ror gold in the Cheatham farm, four miles from Oxford, goes steadily on, witn -tne prospects growing better every day. Sev eral shafts have already been sunk and more will be sunk immediately, thus veri fying the report of an eminent geologist, whp many years ago; reported Granville countv to be remarkably rich in gold and valuable mineral deposits. Weldon News: Sleeping and dreaming in a barber's chair lost, a man the tip of his nose in one of our uptown shops the other day. The man dropped into the barber shop to get a shave, and as his face was being lathered fell asleep. The barber began to shave his sleeping cus tomer gently. Suddenly the sleeper struck out right and lett with nis nsts, pre sumably at some dreamland foe. His right fist struck the razor and drove its keen blade through tne ena or nis nose. This awakened him with a start, and after a hasty explanation the man picked ui) the piece of his nose and ran to tne nearest doctor. The .surgeon stitched the niece of nose on. where it belonged, and there is a fair show cf its growing in place. Pittsboro Record: Few Persons are aware of the importance of the cross-tie industry in this county and the amount of money it brings into Chatham. As an illustration, we would, mention that in one day last week checks to the amount of S4 (too were received at this place for cross-ties furnished Mr. W. R. Bonsai who has the contract for supplying the Seaboard Air Line railroads with cross ties. During the last few months Mr. Bonsai has bought nearly 100.000 ties in this county for the Seaboard Air Line roads. In addition to this many thou sand ties are bought every year for the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley railroad in the western part of this county. It is safe to assert that more money is paid for ties to citizens of this county every year than the entire taxes of the county amount to. , Wilson Times: Last Tuesday afternoon as Miss Mary Killette was picking flow ers from small plant which was growing from a basket in her front porch, she was bitten by a large poplar leaf mocca sin snake which was coiled around the stem and completely concealed by the leaves. Miss Killette immediately came to the city and summoned her physician, Dr. Nathan Anderson. She is now getting on excellently. We regret that Mr. A. D. Howell received a painful but not dan gerous wound last Saturday night at the fire. In unwinding the reel, his hand was caught and the bone in his thumb crushed. Last Friday morning at 10 o'clnck Mrs. J. W. Wallace of Red Springs, died at her home in that town. WQS tne wue ul ncv. a . ,v. , a son of Mr. J. P. Wallace of this city.

The firmness shown by many standard shares in the rather stormy vicissitudes, of today's stock market was quite remarkable, considering the existence of two such centres of de pression as New Jersey Central, all day, and Chicago Gas In the late dealings after the receipts of news of the defeat in the Illinois legislature of the bill permitting consolidation of the gas companies. To estimate the extent of the influence that might have been exercised upon the gen eral market by these two stocks it must be considered 'that they absorbed over 81,000 Out of a total of 150,000 shares in on the exchange for the day, Chicago Gas alone being credited with 63,000 shares. A large proportion of these sales was made in the last hour and a half of trading and enormous blocks 01 stock were unloaded with precipitate eagerness, which had been bought in the confiding conviction that the consolidation bill would succeed. The price, which had advanced a point in the morning, tumbled headlong 3 per cent., witn no check to the decline until the lowest point was reached, when there was a feeble rally. The demoralization in this stock was in a fair way to break the whole market and did, in fact, carry prices generally below the close last nhtht and wiping out the gains of the earlier part of the day. But a final rally in the market brought many prices back near to last night's close or fractionally above it. New Jersey Central was a center of depression all day and carried with it Delaware and Hudsqn which lost 1, Reading and Lackawanna, however, showed a net gain on the day. Notable declines in other stocks were: A point in Sugar and Manhattan and 14 in Tobacco, and lc in Tennessee Coal and Iron. There were other losses in the list, but they were small and many standard shares were on a level with or above last night's close. The day's trading, though still narrow, was marked by a notable undercurrent of strength, based partly on the apparent termination of the war be tween Turkey and Greece and partly to a conviction arrived at by public opinion In the street by its own processes of reason ing that the administration at Washing ton had determined against any radical steps in regard to Cuba. The outward gold movement is no longer viewed with such marked apprehension as at first on account of the evidences that it will be restricted to proportions. There was a slight hardening tendency to exchange during the day, showing that bills were being slowly absorbed in spite of a very light demand. The gold export for the week is, however, expected to be small. A rise of 1 in the price of St. Louis and San Francisco, first preferred, in rumors of an approaching dividend declaration was one of the features of the day. Nor folk and Western, preferred, also rose 1V4. but lost most of the advance. The total sale of stocks for the day amounted to 178,861 shares, including American Sugar 5,600, Hurlington and Quincy 14,800, Chicago Gas 62,700, Delaware and Hudson 5,000,St. Paul 11,000, Tennessee Coal and Iron -5,600. Railway and mis cellaneous bonds -were without essential change in value,' although a decidedly firm undertone was apparent. Business was moderate, with operations largely re stricted to the prominent issues. The sales were $981,000. Governments showed an improving tendency in the forenoon, but subsequently eased off. The trans actions aggregated $9,500. Ctton Futures. (Special to The Messenger.) New York, May 19. This was another very quiet day in cotton. The only nota ble feature was the purchase of about 10, 000 bales of August by the same house whose buying yesterday was so marked. In spite of this buying, the market de veloped no strength. The weakness in Liverpool was renewed this morning and contributed largely to the .willingness of holders here to sell out their lines. Au gust opened at 7.29, declined to 7.27, rallied -to 7.31, again gave way and closed at 7.28 to 7.29 with the tone of the market quiet. The new crop seems to be pro gressing very satisfactorily and we fear lower prices. RIORDAN & CO. (By Associated Press.) New York, May 19. The cotton market opened steady with prices 3 to 4 points ower, following unsatisfactory cables and generally oeansn crop accounts. 1 nere was a further decline of 2 to 3 points. The selling was particularly active by a prominent German nouse who appears to be the leading bear factor. The mark et, however, was a small one, the total sales of future deliveries reaching 61.600 bales. The feature of the early session was the buying of something like 10,000 bales, said to be for a local firm forced to cover short contracts. Several unsuccess ful attempts were made to rally the markets,, but reports from the cotton belt were too generally favorable for success in this direction.. The close, was quiet at a net decline of 4 to b points. The Chicago Markets, Chicago, May 19.

THE PtGHT IS THE HOUSE Over the Cuban Resolutions Today Likely to be a Lively One Two Reports to, be Made From the Committee on Bales. (Washington, May 19. Speaker Reed has called a meeting of the committee on rules for tomorrow morning for the purpose of framing a rule under which the house will consider the resolution passed by the senate to appropriate $50,000 for the relief of American citi-. zens in Cuba. The republican leaders have canvassed the Cuban question and decided practically that the housd should adopt the senate resolution to- morrow and ignore the question of rec- ognition of "belligerency. 'Mr. Bailey, the democratic leader, Is determined to present a minority re port from the rules committee, which he says will permit him to offer Sen ator Morgan's resolution as an amend ment to the one making an appropria tion. It is expected, however, that thi speaker will declare the minority re port out of order. Such a ruling will result in a filibuster by the democrats' if they carry out their present purpose. In anticipation of this, the republican? have telegraphed to all members of the party who are out of the city, to return tomorrow so that the party will have a quorum to do business without the assistance of the democrats and populists. The republicans say they are willing to have a resolution for belligerency considered under proper conditions, but regard the relief appropriation a busi ness question which should no1 be com plicated "by the greater pro-Mtion. Many republicans are in favor cf tho recognition of the Cubans, but the par ty prohably will "be united in its sup- port of the rule. The leaders fear that any action on Cuba at this time might hinder, the progress of the tariff bill. Mr. Bailey says he believes recogni tion would lead to a settlement of the war in a short time and that the house should be allowed to vote on the ques tion. Nominations by the President. Washington, May 19. The president today sent to the senate the-follow-ing nominations: Myron MeCord. to! be governor of Arizona; Charles (H. Akers, secretary of Arizona; Arthur P. Greeley, of New Hampshire, now an examiner In chief in the patent office, to be. assistant commissioner of pat ents; Thomas G. Steward, of Illinois now a principal examiner in the pat ent office, to be an examiner-in-chief in the patent office. Why He Was Anxlouo. There was a sleight-of-hand perform ance in the opera house that night, and way down on the front seats there sat a man holding a shiny silk hat os tentatiously before him with an ex pression of anxiety and watchfulness upon his face. . Before the performance began a friend who sat Immediately behind him a,nd had noticed his manner leaned over and asked him what the trouble was. 'Well, you see, Tom," said the man with the hat, confidentially, "it's this" way; I've been in politics now for ten years, and I've been eussed and abused and called all sorts of hard names until I'm just longing to hear somebody ad dress me in a decent manner one more time. When this magician comes on the stage, he's going to say: 'Will some gentleman kindly loan me his hat?" and I'm going to jump up and give him mine. It'll make me feel good for a month to be spoken to in that way. I've been looking forward to this occasion for two weeks. You'll excuse me now. for I'll have to jump quick when he speaks, for I see one of qur aldermen sitting in the front row with his old derby in his hand, and I'll bet a dollar he's up to the same game," Detroit Free Press.
