Macon county turned in five con victs to the penitentiary yesterday. Today being a legal holiday, the State and public offices, banks etc, was all closed. The musicale at Mr Mahler's last night was a grand success, everybody present enjoyed the occasion finely. Justice Whitaker committed Geo Rogers to jail today in default of $50 bond. Attention is called to the advertise ment of the Bee Hive to be found in this issue. The wheels for the summer street cars have arneved and was put on the lines laet night Good music may be expected at Edenton Street Sunday School to morrow by the JEFF Quartette Club. G H Moningham, of Falls, Wake county, says he has a turkey hen which has laid twenty nine eggs this season, and is not the least inclined to set yet. This beats the record. Last night the SupremeCourt build ing was brilliantly illuminated and thrown open to the public for one of those charming receptions which proved so popular and pleasant last year. There was a large crowd pre? sent and everybody enjoyed the eve ning. C D Upchurch, Esq, Clerk of the Supt rior Court,, apprenticed the fol lowing children today to George R Pool: George Alfonza Green Caudle, and Pearl Prentiss Rosa Minnie Cau dfe. May 10th is a legal holiday and is observed generally by all educational banking and government institutions It fell on Saturday this year. The Wake Forest College boys claimed that they were entitled to Saturday anyway, and that an extra holiday should be granted. The faculty agreed to this, and a number of the students spent yesterday, which was the holiday taken, in the city. The forty seventh annual meeting of the State Grand Lodge, 1 0 O F, will meet at Wilmington next Tues day. The following persons will at tend: Grand Master, Joseph G Brown, Grand Secretary, B H WoodelljGrand Representative, J H Cordon. Mr George H Glass will represent Man- teo Lodge, and Dr J H Crawford will represent Seaton Gales Lodges.Depu- ty Grand Sire C M Busbee will also be in attendance. The City Lights. The city light committee held a meeting yesterday to consider the re port of the arbitration committee on the contract between the city and the electrict light company. It will be remembered that the ar bitration committee's report set forth that, while the contract called for lights of 1200 candle power each, the actual development was 775 caudle power. The committee decided to recommend that the city pay for the lights in proportion t j the power furnished, aud not pay the full con tract price of eighty dollars per light per annum, because the power of the lights had not equaled the power called for. This payment is to com mence with the beginning of the use pf the light system. The committee also decided to re commend that the lighting company be requested to furnish lights of 1200 candle power each aa early ai possi ble., , j Bureau of Labor Statistics. We clip the following paragrah from the Raleigh correspondent of the Wilmington Messenger, which appeared in their issue of May 8th : "The bland inquiries upon which the 1890 report of the bureau of labor statistics will be based are being sent out by Mr John C Scarboio. Less is heard of that sub department than of any of the others nnder the gener al management of the department of agriculture." The usually fair minded and cor rect correspondent of the Messenger is in error in his statement that the Bureau of Labor Statistics is a sub department under the general man agemeut of the department of Agri culture. The annexion of the Bureau o' Labor Statistics with the Depart ment exists in the statute creating the Bureau but not in the organiza tion of the Bureau as provided for in the same statute, chapter 113, laws of 188 7. The commissioner is appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. The clerk is appointed by the commissioner, and the reports are made to the Governor, and through him to the regular sessions of the General Assemply. The Board of Agriculture has no voice in the management of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and no directory powers It is simply in the Department of Agriculture in the Statute, but is in dependent of the supervision of the Board of Agriculture. The expenses of the Bureau are paid out of the State Treasury, raised by the tax on fertilizers. The commissioner of Labor Statis tics dibburses all money used by the .Bureau. We do not know what the duties of Hon J C Scarborough, Commissioner oi cue .Bureau of .Labor Satieties are, but one thing we know, that his character as a Christian gentleman and his faithfulness as a public officer is too well known to need any defense at our hands. The Library Reception Last Night. The State library and the library and rooms of the Supreme court were brilliantly illuminated last night and thrown open to the public. Every body who attended during the even ing was requested to register, and the registry book showed several newly filled pages. All present spent two delightful hours, for which they ex pressed cordial appreciation and thanks to Mr J C Birdsong, State librarian, and Mr R H Bradley, Su preme court marsnai. Memorial Day and the Ladies. The assistance of the ladies will be greatly needed on next Monday morn ing at Metropolitan hall to arrange for the Memorial exercises. There will be no special invitations sent to any one, but a general invitation is extended to the ladies to come out and assist in the work.

Mr J S Bryan, brought to this office this morning a strange looking ani mal or monster, caught at the mill of W H Hood, Esq, in the eastern part of this county, last Friday. It resembles a species of eel.about three feet long, black, has no eyes, has four feet, a tail like a snake, a full set of fine, sharp teeth. Mr Bryan has ta ken it to the State Museum, where we hope it will be named by some naturalist. The like has never been seen in any of our waters so far as heard from.

Swindell's Is without doubt the real bargain house of Raleigh. There can be no doubt that Swindell sells more and better goods for the money than any other house in the city. We have people to tell us every day that we are doing more business than any of them. If we are, it must be true that we sell goods cheaper than others for every one is always on the lookout for bargains. When you come right down and think about it it is not so strange that Swindell sells goods cheaper than others. It is an impos sibility for any man to buy and sell his goods on long time as cheap as the man that both buys and sells for the cash We always pay cash and sell for cash, hence we sell goods cheaper than the others. We do not write all this to injure or reflect on any one, for no such desire, but we tell you this as a matter of business and to show the people how and where they can best serve themselves. We want every one's patronage and we are willing to give every advan tage to our patrons, and we feel that weare offering more inducements than most of our frii nds can give you. Swindell.
