On Tuesday morning at two o'clock, when the city was wrapt in sleep, and the breath of the Northern Frost King made po licemen on their beat bow their heads when facing the swirls of the "nor-easters" that swished our streets from stem to stern, a fire was seen in the oyster stall of Mr. I Furman Betts, on East Hargett street, in front of the office of the Raleigh Times. The fire was caused by a red-hot stove which was locked up in the oyster stall. As luck would have it, on ac count of a break-down of the press of the News and Observer, which necessitated Mr. St. Jac ques, assisted by Pressman Bea vers of the Times, to work the Observer's edition off on the Times' press, the whole block of buildings on Hargett street was saved. Messrs. Beavers and St. Jacques saw the flames and broke - the glass door, the former sending in a fire alarm, while, the latter poured water on the flames until the return of Mr. Beaves, who helped to extinguish the flames. Our "best fire department in the world" responded to the alarm in an incredibly short time, but their services were not needed, as Mr. A. W. St. Jacques and C. h. Bea vers nob'y did the work before the arrival of the fire laddies. Mr. Z. P. Smith, editor of The American, is in favor of compul sory education, and he is backed by the Junior Order. We are in accord with American on the compulsory education law. The Harbinger has been advocating compulsory education for the past three years. But our educational governor don't think the people ready for it yet. Mr. Smith will present a petition to the legisla ture next month for such a law. News reached here Thursday, from Baltimore, which conveyed the sad news' of the death of Miss Nannie Belvin,22yearsold,daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Belvin, of this city, whose death occurred at a Baltimore hospital, from an operation, Thursday at 12:20 p. m. The body arrived Friday morn ing at 4 o'clock. Miss Nannie was a graduate of St. Mary's School, a beautiful young lady and was accomplished in the ' highest degree. The family have the sympathy of this community in the loss of their young daugh ter. V Raleigh had a 3-inch snow on Thursday morning. The sleigh bells were ringing. "; What would the rate of wages be now, or what would be the length of the working day, if it were not for the efforts and sacri fices made by the organized work ers in defense of labor's rights? Subscribe to The Harbinger. THE INDUSTRIAL WORLD Mexican women engaged in making drawn linen work make 7, 8, 9, or, at most, 12, cents a day. There are almost 33,000 union workmen in Buffalo, N.

Brewer, his brother-in-law,' who lost their lives in so tragic a manner on the Cape Fear river Saturday night, was conducted at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon from the late residence of Mr. Gore, No. 608 Dock street. The ser vices were conducted by Key. Fred. D Hale, D. D., Mr. Gore's pastor. Mr. Gore was a young lawyer of talent and was a partner of ex-Gov. Russell and was a gen tleman of great personal magnet ism. Mr. Brewer, aged 20 years, was a native of Franklin, Va., was a fine young man. Dr. and Mrs. J. B. Brewer, father and mother of young Brewer, . and Mrs. Claude Gore, of Rocking ham ; Miss Julia Brewer, of Ral eigh, and Miss Jessie Brewer, of Franklin, Va., sisters of the de ceased, and Mr. Claude Gore, the only brother, and Mr. Ira Len. non, of Whiteville, an uncle of Mr. John H. Gore, were among the out of town relatives who at tended the obsequies. The two young men were buried in the same lot in Oakdale cemetery, Wilmington. The greatest, syrn-' pathy, both in Wilmington and Raleigh, is expressed for the rela-j tives for their loss in the sad ac-i cident. The young men were re-1 turning to a launch in a small j canoe, after hunting ducks up Mallory's creek, when the boat 1 was swamped, drowning them. Their dog swam to the launch and was saved. Messrs. George Har riss and J. W. Sneeden, their com panions, leached the launch and wera saved. DEAD AT AGE OF 117 The Fayetteville Observer had the following news of interest a few days ago : Mr. James Cogdell, the well known citizen of Beaver Dam, was in the city today and re ported the death, this morning, of Nancy DeVane, who lived in his neighborhood. Mr. Cogdell, says that it is known that Nancy was 117 years old, and probably she was older than that. She was born in New Hanover county, and, before the war, belonged to the well-known, DeVane family of that county. A number of years before the war she came to Cumberland with Stewart DeVane, Esq., and has since resided here. . Only yesterday we recorded the death of Aunt Polly McNeill, at 105 years of age, but in doing so we failed to state one impor tant fact, and that it is that she retained all her senses up to the day of her death. In the case of Nancy DeVane, Mr. Cogdell says the old woman had all her faculties up to a year ago, when she began to fail in health. The act imposing $500 upon every Chinaman entering Cana da has had a prohibitive effect. Since January no Celestials have entered the country, with the ex ception of two which escaped from steamships. THE BOYCOTT IS LAWFUL. Supreme Court Decides In Favor of Labor Unions One of the most important cases decided by the Supreme Court at this term is that (in which the de cision was handed down Wednes day evening) of the State vs. Van $olt and others, from Rowan. The members of a Carpenters' And Joiners' Union of Sal isbury were indicted for conspi racy to break up and destroy the business of a lumber merchant on whom they had made demand that he refrain from employing other than union labor on pain of being considered out of sympathy with organized labor and whom they had published after his re fusal to comply as having been placed on the "unfair list" with the accompanying advice that no member of the union or of any branch of organized labor should handle the product of his busi ness. The men indicted, who were the appellees in the case before the Supreme Court. On the hearing in the court be low the defendants demurred to the 1 ill of particulars furnished by the State and were sustained, the"-judge-quashing-the indict ment. In Wednesday's decision the lowtr court was, therefore, affirmed. The opinion, which is very ex tensive and full in treatment, was written by Associate Justice Con nor. Affecting, as it does, the rights of organized labor to en force its demands by influencing others not to deal with an em ployer of labor who has incurred the displeasure of the unions, it will be seen that the case is one of the greatest importance, which is increased when it is considered that the court is unanimous in its decision and that the opinion was written only after long considera tion of every aspect of the case. Raleigh Times, Dec. 14. The Harbinger agrees with the Times in saying it is "one of the most important cases decided by the Supreme Court at this term," etc. It also shows that the members of the Supreme Court of North Caro ina are gen tlemen with the highest sense of honor and who regard thesacred ness of the oath they took when they donned the ermine. May North Carolina always have her courts presided over by such zeal ous and righteous men. We congratulate organized la bor upon the great victory won by the Carpenters' and Joiners' Union of Salisbury. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS L. A Emory Furniture. Crinkley's-Santa Claus. Sherwood Higgs & Co.

Bad leaders may for a time sway a labor union, but not for long. No leader can last long who attempts to use organized labor solely to his own selfish ends. RESPONSIBILITY OF THE JAG. "Yes, suh de snake wus twelve foot long " "Come, now !" "En had sixty rattles" "That won't do !" "En five buttons." "You's a great liar !" "Well, suh, maybe I is; but there was one thing I wuzent mis took in, en maybe you'll doubt dat." "Go ahead and tell.it." Then the old man straightened himself, smacked his mouth and said : "De jug helt two gallons, en only had one handle." Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles has accepted the appoint ment of Adjutant General on the staff of Governor Douglas of Massachusetts. The appointment is a good one. If all his select ions of public officers are on a par with that of appointing General Miles there is no reason why the next administration in Massachusetts should not be very successful.
