Barrea Shore.
In bygone times it was the practice
ef the Newfoundland coast folk to ap-,
propriate everything they secured, but
this lawlessness had to be sternly re
pressed. Now the uuwritten rule is
that they get '"half their hand." or SO
per cent, as salvage. In portable and
valuable articles, such, as silverware,
there is still a strong' temptation to
keep the whole, but the punishment Is
severe. Champagne, . liquors, cabin
stores and the like have also a trick
of disappearing, and in the -poorest
fisher's cottage you will come upon
rare china, dainty napery,. silverware
of price and wines to tempt an epi
cure. The salvors are reckless and un
thinking, and as they gather In hun
dreds every man pre-empts what -he
can. In the rush there la much de
stroyed. When the Herder was lost
In they burned whalebone worth
$13,000 a ton to save leather costing
20 cents a pound. In the Emmeline
wreck of 1!00 they trampled crates of
costly glassware to get at four cases
of French prayer books valued at S3
cents apiece. On one occasion two
sulvors had got ashore a piano and
were adopting the Solomon-like expe
dient of sawing it lu half when . a
shrewder chuin bought It from them
for a bottle of whisky looted from the
captain's cabin. When the Grasbrook
went ashore In 1800 efery man on the
shore provided himself with a German
concertina, of which instruments of
torture she had a large consignment,
and to secure them packages of much
more costly freight were thrown over
board. When the Orion, from Balti
more for Copenhagen, struck the back
of Cape Uace and went to pieces she
had a large consignment of bicycles
on Iraard, and they were auctioned In
St John's and disposed of all over the
island. The Abbeymore'a lading in
1898 included some cases of splendid
English rifles for Canada, and these
are now to be seen adorning
every
fisher's cottage along the shore. P. T.

Of tin Fouttdar of Methodism is Cele

HE VIS 1 THEOLOGICAL STATESMAN
John Wesley Was Born at Epworth,
England, on June 17th, 1703, and
Had a Varied Career.
Two hundred years ago today was
born at Epworth, England, John Wes
ley, the founder" of Methodism. The
impress ot Ms character has been left
upon the great everyday life of both
England and America, and it is not
too much to style him a "Theological
Statesman," in its broadest sene.
Speaking of Wesley the Winston
Salem Journal says:
Methodists all over the country, are
holding, during this month, suitable
services to memorialize his birthday
and to bring before the people promi
nent facts in reference to the history
of Methodism. The mission of Luther
was to reform a corrupt Christianity,
that of Wretley to revive a dying one.
In speaking of the founder of a great
movement it is interesting to know
something of his ancestors. These we
find on both sides ot the Wesley house
were noted for learning, piety, poetry,
music, loyalty and chivalry. If there
is anything in the theory of hereditv,
a richer and finer combination could
hardly be found than was presented
by this family. Indeed for five hun
dred years -hisfamily distinguished
themselves in English history. Sol
diers, v statesmen, scholars . and
ministers were blood kin to him.
Among these was Waterloo's hero.
the, Duke of Wellington. Wesley's
father was noted for his deep piety,
learning and poetical turn of mind.
His mother for her great intelligence,
sound judgment varied learning- and
deep piety. The mother of 19 children i
she was methodical and systematic in
her training of them. Is it to be won-
hoered at then that three of these sons
became famous, Samuel, Charles and
John? . What a grand tribute to the
superiority of this magnificent woman,
and glorious reward for the self de
pi al practiced were the fine specimens
bt manhood and womanhbod that she
bed ueatbed to the world.
John Wesley, , the most famous of
fill,., distinguished himself at Oxford
001 y ToVhi.' leamhli
ano- uietv. out also lor rounding tne
"Holy Club," which was the cradle of
Methodism.' At 35 years of age, he
entered upon his life work, as the or
ganizer and founder of - Methodism,
and for 56 years was a faithful itiner
ant Methodise preacher. In these days
of costly churches, luxurious appoint
ments and pleasant environments, his
I labors sound like an exaggeration,
j He travelled, chiefly on horseback,
250,000 miles throughout Great Brit-
1 aln, preached U,000 sermons, : organ

fore Robert Raike's Sunday school at
vauiisu ui aiw
a generation be-:
uioucester, England, was organized,
he gathered the children about him
and taught them the Bible and church
catechism. Thn was the beginning of
the modem Sunday school, tie was
greatly assisted -in his work by his
brother, Charles, whose gift of poetry
and talent for lyrio compositions are
acknowledged Dy an.
Since Dr. Coke was appointed bishop
in 1784, Methodism has broadened and
widened till now. this denomination
has 45,731 preachers; 7,448,892 mem
bers, 128,000 , Sunday schools, .and
1300,000,000 worth of church property.
Went to Races In Airship.'-
Paris, June 15. W. K. Vanderbilt's
horse Biltmore was fourth in the race
tor the Prix de Villeron, at Long
champs. i '
During the racing, M. Santos Du
mont, in his airship No. 9, appeared
over the course and. went through a
variety of manouvres, which evoked
great enthusiasm from the crowd. The
passage of two other balloons over
the Longcbamps race course at the
same time added to the originality of
the scene. M. Santo Dumont finally
descending, unaided , in the -center of
the course, where a great ovation was
given him. ,
He then re-ascended and arter execut
ing a second series of manouvres
sailed away in the direction of Baga
telle. A curious incident during the
presence of the Santos Dumont No. 9,
was the winning of races by horses num
bered 9 on the racing card. , . t

JONES MURDER TRIAL
Continuance Not Decided Upon.
' davits Submitted. .
Wil-ton, June 16. At the opening oi
court this morning' at 9:30 affidavits
were filed by the defense declaring that
(hey were not ready for trial, and that
because of a state of inflamed public
opinion a fair trial cannot be had in
Wilson county. '
Three of the defendants, J. B. Piver,
John Allen and W. W. Barnes were
not present and the plea of absent on
account of sickness was made for them.
Solicitor C. C. Daniels, of this place,
Mr. Frank Spruill, of Loulsburg, and
Mr. J. U. Uzzell represented the State.
The defendants are represented by
Messrs. Pou and Finch. Fred A. Wood
ord, John E. Woodard, S. A. Wood
ard, Connor & Connor, 8. G. New
soine, W. T. Farmer and E. C. Barn
hill. Judge Shaw told the lawyers at the
outset that only two questions would
weigh with him in deciding the matter
whether defendants have had time to
prepare their case, and whether public
sentiment is such that defendants can
obtain a fair trial at this term of court.
The petitions and affidavits for de
fendants were signed by about 200 men
in the town of ilson and various sec
tions of the county to the effect that
defendants cannot at this time obtain
a fair trial because of the feeling
against them.
The State offered counter affidavits
setting fourth that a fair trial might
be had, and the solicitor pointed out
that many of the defendant's affiants
were their bondsmen' or relatives
or
close business associates.
A few minutes before 0 o'clock Judge
Shaw folded up all the affidavits, and
said he would take the matter under
consideration and make up his mind

engaged in light work, sifting sand on
bricks and carrying wood to the kiln.
Superintendent Mann says owing to
his long and close confinement Wilcox
can't be given hard work for some
time yet. - v
.He had - nothing to say. He asked
for a morning' paper at the.? prison,
and read the .report of his conduct
when he started for Raleigh, without
