She mum Visitor. VOL. XXVI. RALEIGH, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 1892. NO. 123 MINIATURE ALMANAC FOR TODAY. Sun rises 6 11 ; Sunsets ,6 06 First quarter, 5th n -00 P. M. Fall moon, 18th- 7:4' A. u Last quarter, tint M P. m. ew moon, 88th 8:04 A. m. 81 HOPBIS OP THK WKATHKR. The following is the synopsis of the weather at 8 a. m. today : The high area, central in the north west, is spreading southeast ward, and forcing the low area to take a south erly course along the gulf coast. It is snowing this morning from New York to Knoiville and iu Kan- The weather is clearing in the up per Mississippi valley and becoming colder. RALKIOH AND VICINITY. Continued threatening weather with snow. Slightly colder. CITY IN BRIEF. A small sized sleet this morning. Winter still lingering in the lap of ipring. The State Board of Pharmacy were in session, in this city, today. The' sanitary officers are still on their rounds. The Supreme Court now has oases from the 8th district nnder consider ation. We hope our patriotic mayor will sprir up the Board of Aldermen on the centennial question. A life-like portrait of Hon. W. H. Battle now adorns the Supreme Court room. Look carefully at your half dollars. Counterfeits are afloat calculated to deceive even experienced financiers. The weather report does not afford, much comfort. Bad weather is the outlook. Watch out for chicken thieves. They are committing depredations in some sections of the eitv and in the Buburbs. The vernal equinox is near at hand and bad weather is to be expected. After this ' we can consistently look for the opening of spring. President George and Superinten dent Hall made a visit of inspection over the electric street oar lines to day. A gentleman from this county in forms us that the cold snap bes,.si far as he can discern, done no injury to the fruit as the trees were not fai enough advanced. The "Parish Monthly" is the name of a periodioal issued by the Chnr h of the Good Shepherd. It 1b an in teresting paper, containing mnch iu formation relative to the parish and other matters. Our people should not grumble at the present cold snap, if it keeps bach the fruit. A fruit orop in our State means many thousands of dol lars in the pockets of our people. It is reported that the cold weather lo Delaware has damaged the peach trees. We hope this is a mistake. It seems strange that the frnit as far north as Delaware should be dam aged, when in North Carolina it is uuhurt, especially as oar climate is much milder. It has been suggested that the date for holding the festival at the fair grounds might be appropriately changed to the date on whioh the centennial of Raleigh occurs in April. This might do, in. our opinion, if the spring 'were far enough advanced, bat so early in April the weather would, in all probability, be too cool. Better let the proposition remain as tt is. Our friends, 'Messrs. Jones St Pow ell, say that the orders for coal and wood have just poured in for the last day oi so. Many families tried to squeeze through with the remaining took on hand, bat found it woald pay better to have a good fire. This is regular pneumonia weather and the more care taken in the way of fuel is less physio. Be on the safe aide And let prudence reign. Spring 'goods a little oat of joint today. The cotton trade today has been at a stand still. Very little doing. The latest news is, that severe weather accompanied with snow storms prevail in the north and north west. , The military bands of Norfolk and Portsmouth are praetloing on the music of "The Old North State" for the coming launch of the Raleigh. It will soon be time to paint up houses and pnt on a 'spring dress. Nothing adds so much to a dwelling as a new coat of paint. It goes far too in the matter of preservation. Can't ocr Board of Aldermen strain a point and procure a new bell for the market house building? We want one that won't persist in striking at any time it takes a notion. T be Epworth League of Central M E. Church will meet immediately after the prayer service tonight in the lecture room when the organize.' tion will be completed and new mem bers will te enrolled. It would appear from the number of cows that are often found running at large, that many people do not know that the stock law is in opera tion here, (ilen. James R. Carnahan, a dis tinguinhed member of the Knights of Pythias, addressed the lodges of that order and exemplified the work last night. The work of fixing up the rooms at the Y. M. 0. A. building is progress ing. When finished they will be ad mirably and beautifully arranged. Senator Hill will return to Wash rngtoU City, by the AtJantio Ooiut Line. We suppose there will be large crowds out lat Goldsboro and other towns to see him. There were sixty eight carts loaded with wood, on Hargett, Wilmington and Martin streets today, by actual count. Business in th .t line seemed lively. Several northern gentlemen are in the city, prospecting. Some of them ex urns a desire to locate here. One drink of Pesoud's pump water will fix it. When they once settle here they "will never go back" this Is a fixed fact. r-f1 ,.t- - i , , . There will be a meeting of the Walnut Creek Sporting Clabtomor row night for the purpose of making arrangements relative to the new lease of Taylor's poo l north of the city. Our friend Mr. Miles Goodwin is keeping things in "apple pie" order at the station house so far as sanitary matrers are concerned. Instead of carbolic acid for cleansing purposes, he uses coperas water, whioh Is a great improvement, especially in avoiding unpleasant smell. A friend from the country today, asked as if we could refer him to the locality in which " Jesse Holmes" for marly lived He said he wanted to re-establish the headquarters of that honorable gentleman as he thought in the near future, he would have use for him. We did not ask for parties ulars. The sensation that gained a little credence on the streets yesterday, that the city water was effected by the Phosphate Mills, is somewhat ri diculous, when it is known, that the water is procured a lonr distance above the factory, in the upper part of the Grimes plantation. There is no purer water than that furnished by our city water works, Should there be, at any time, a defect in it, our Superintendent of health would quickly detect it, and let the fact be known. llry Pine Wood. Leave your orders at B. F. Cheat ham's store, No. 825 Sooth Wilming ton street. uh81m Efforts of the Ladies. Much good work was done by the lad lex at their meeting yesterday con cerning the building for North Caro lina, at the Chicago Fair, and the outlook for succrws is promising. The different sections of the city were laid out as "circles," and some of oar most energetie ladies were selected to solicit subscriptions for the object in view. They are lOTiM. Mayor Badger today received the following letter: Goldsboro, N 0., March 16, '93. Hon. Tbos. Badger. Mayor City of Raleigh: Dear Sir: Replying to your circa lar letter of the 10th, we Will, at your suggestion, call a meeting of oar cit izens at an early day, bnt woald like to have your idea of how much you intend to raise, and about what yon propose presenting to the cruiser "Raleigh" on the occasion of the ship going into commission. We think ail the towns In the State should take some action in the matter. Respectfully, A. B. Hollowjill, Mayor. I O. O. F. Beaton Gales Lodge, No. 64,1. G O.

Hardware, &c. The World's Fair. Mr. T. K Brnner, commissioner of j North Carolina to the World's Fair, ; sys the work of getting up county and industrial exhibits is progressing well and that our people who vhn I the grand show will feel proud of their State. He thinks that the next General Assembly will contribute a fair sum to help oat the osase. Bird Law. There seems to be some doubt in the minds of many oi our people, as to the species of game covered by the bird law. To set the matter at rest, we have made a careful examination, the result of whioh is as follows : Section 8884, of ohapter 81, of the code, reads thus: No person shall kill or shoot, trap or net any part ridges, quail, doves, robins, lark, mocking birds or wild turkeysbet ween the first day of April and the fifteenth day of October in each year ; and the person so ofEeiig shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and fined not exceed ing $10 for $h offenoe. This was the act at the time of the codification of the laws into the code in 1883 No subsequent Legislature has amended the general law as to the speeieB of birds. The only amend ment passed upon the subject, was at the Legislature of 1891, when the time for hunting was changed to read bet ween the 15th o f March and the 1st of November. . In ot her respects the provisions of the code are in full force and effect. It Will Pay You to Wait.

Davis, lateh a book keeper for the firm of Rand Sr Barbee and another well known commercial house of Rich mond, Va , and a form?r book keeper for Messrs. Thos. H Briggs & Sons, of Raleigh, is cause for the deepesc re gret in this city, where he was so well known and enjoyed a good repu tation The crime for whioh the young man has blas'ed his life, consisted in forging and embezzling money from those by whm he was employed, the exact amount of whioh has not been definitely ascertained, bat whioh is reooued to run ap into thousands of dollars. Not the least distressing feature of the sad case, is the fact. that the young man leaves an aged mother, and a child to mourn over the downfall of their natural pro tec tor. The ease of Mr. Davis, is bat the usual result of reckless living, spring ing from a desire to make sueh a show in life, as is not warranted by the inoome at command. It is the "old, 61d story," and the result is the same in all oases. While we oannot paliate the orime, we mast say that oar hearts go oat in deep sympathy to the stricken and inbooent ones, in this, their sad time of domestie af fliction. It has neen truly said that an honest man is the noblest work of God." Without honesty there can be no true happiness.
