TO TIIK PUBLIC.
The UalHgli Weekly Visitor.
The undersigned will, in addition to the
Daily Evekixq Visitor, issue the first num
ber of a Weekly Thursday, March 5th.
Thb Raleigh Weekly Visitor, tike the
Daily, will be independent in matters of pol
itics and religious denominations. It will
not hesitate, however, to assail the wrong
wherever found, when there is a reasonable
probability of correcting it.
In the publication of the Weekly Visitor,
as in the Daily, we shall seek to furnish a
journal that will be acceptable in the home
circle of the refined. The Weekly will advo
cate the interests of North Carolina, in what
ever department of thought and action such
interests may appear; whether in the school,
on the farm, at the dairy, in the factory, or
down in the mine.
The price, per annum, for a single copy, is
75 cents in advance. In clubs of five copies
or more 50 cents per copy in advance. Ad
vertising rates will be furnished on applica
tion. Believing that by issuing the Raleigh
Weekly Visitor as a non-partisan secular
newspaper from the capital of the State, we
fill a place that needs to be occupied ; we re
spectfully solicit the patronage of a generous
public. T. C. Williams, Editor.

ernmaut of tbe special tax. The sum
to be returned . to the State is $337,

diiduala and is to be returned to
them by the State, but at least one
third of It will never be claimed. It
was out of this fund the appropria- '
tlon was proposed. I
With this bill killed, and the immi- ,
gration bill killed, and the bill secur- :
ing taxes from tbe W.and W.railroad ;

on the part of the legislature is to
kill North Carolina.
The Street Railway.
In obedience to a telegram received
last night from the Atlanta office of

the part of the contractor to meet
the requirements of the electric com
pany's sub contract. Negotiationa
however are going on, and arrange
ments may yet be made by which the
work will be compkted.though noth
ing is definitely known yet.

The Chicago Hotel Thief. ;
i
J urn.i!. ,
The Cbir v o lioti I thief is a man of
nerve. One day last week wiu-n n
Illinois poli ician was hitting ou hi ,
overcoat in one of tbe plunh nover'-d ;
chairs at the Grand Pacific, discuss -!
ing the Senatorial outlook with an .
acquaintance. the polite thief stepped
up to tle suf-st. rim, t 'pping bim ou
thft fshou'.der, aiil: i
"You are fitting on my overcoat,
sir."
"Oli, I bt-g yo'T pardon," replied
the g'u ft as lie lifted himself from
the garment, and continuing the dis- (
cushion, let the fellow walk olT with a
$50 ulster The guest told his expe-j
rience to "Sam" Parker, who extend
ed this consolation:
"Oh, that's nothing. You go back (
to the same chair and the thief will i
come back and stea' your shoes."
Last Monday the thief of nerve en
tered the writing room of the Palmer
House. A man was sitting at the
desk busily engaged in writing. His
new silk hat was on the table not two
inches from his elbow. The thief
wore a black derby without lining or
sweatband. When he departed he
wore the guest's $3 silk, leaving the
worn out derby behind. But the man
of nerve was not satisfied with that.
He paid a Palmer House messenger
boy 25 cents to carry this note to his
victim:
"Oh, where did you get that hat?"
This was the first intimation the
guest had of his loss.
Not long ago a guest was taking a
nap in one of the easy chairs in the
rotunda of the Tremont House. The
thief stepped up to him, removed his
hat from his head and left an old
slouch in its place.

What is Man?"
Oh! what is man? A frame of bone,
Of sinews, flesh and nerve alone,
Made cold by snow, and warmed by fire,
A thing of impulse and desire;
A little food and drink and sleep,
An hour to work, or smile, or weep;
Gifted more or less by fate
And circumstanced by love or hate,
He propagates by newer birth
Then gives his ashes back to earth
An animal of exquisite plant.
What else is man? Well, he is a
being who will go his full height to
get goods at rock bottom prices.
He is a being who will go to Swin
dell's in spite of all opposition when
he can get a good undershirt for 20
cents. Man or woman will go to
Swindell's when they can get those
nice 10c ginghams for 8c per yard.
Any man who wants a white shirt
will go to Swindell's when he can
save 40c on one shirt. Men are bound
to go where they can get good box at
8c. Swindell's only. Men will burst
their suspenders getting to Swindell s
tor tney can get another pair when
they et to Swindell's for 10c. The
balance you can guess.
