By Artificial Mcaiii The Bemand for the Birdn Ad vantajrei or the Bimi npm JusI Starting Here a a Special Branch. Messrs, Cheney and Ellis have nearly finished the brooder house on their Oak's 1'ouitiy Farm. The Imnibator House I w as linished a lew week ago and one lot ' of chickens hatched in it. Only one incu-i b itor was used on the tir.-t trial but they j have now puichaseil two. The house is) of the nght size to conveniently I hold seven of the machines ol 300 egg capacity each and others are expelled to lie added as they get more fully into the biiMiisss. J lie lu'ooilel le-us.' n.is eigui apaie-j mciits, each of which is for one brooder j that will hold two hundred young chick-1 ens, ;i t,,tai ot sixteen hundred. It is ?0 coLstructed that it can be adeled to by lengthening .t any time. It contains a passage the long way, anil a tine stoiagc loom at one emi. The chickens aTe given a fair amount ol space irside the house and access to the greeu. grassy yard as much is us medeel as early astlieir growth calls for it. Messrs. Cheney and Ellis will turn their attention not only to supplying high-class eggs and lovls to fanciers, but also to raising eggs and brot'ers for the regular markets. In the northern markets: the broilers weighing from a pound to two pounds arc eagerly -ought at good prices, those weighing from a pound to a pound and a hall are the favorites. There is much greater demand for them than lor larger sizes. Unlike the average farm productions the returns on broilers are quick. They can be marketed and the breeder have the casli in his pocket for them in eight or ten weeks Irom the time they are batched, ard incubators can keep fresh supplies con stantly coming on. It is no doubt a pretty business, when fully establisheel and well conducted. Mr. John K. Henry of Homer City Pa., during his few weeks stay in the city gave our breedei's some valuable ideas about the poultry business in its various bran ches which they much appreciate. The results of it will no doubt be more fully manifested later. Bl Rtil ARS AJAI. Try to F.ntcr a Bed-Room of Kcne Tucker Residence by Ir. F.n JIcanH ol n Ladder. "We hear of another attempted burglary and a pretty daring one. It was an at tempt to enter the residence of Mr. Eugene Tucker. The down-stair windows were all fastened and the burglar or burglars by nuans of a ladder found on the prem ises, after trying below attempted entrance through an upstair window, which opened into the ljeil ro.-m occupied by Mr. Tuck et's daughters Misses lnl'tha and Maggie and two small ehildten. Some of tliein being awake the noise of the window being raised was noticed. On looking in that direction the window was sien to bo rai-e. 1 and one of the young ladies gave a call for her f.ithir. 'Ihe burglar then dropped the window and h urrie-dly escaped. Mr. Tucker rush ed to the window but he was goue. Those have been small burglaries in some of the towns in the State recently and it seems as if New Berne is now to have hej turn; any how, in view of the few attempts that have already been it will be well enough for our citizons to keep some liind of a shooting iron convenient so as to give the burglars a loud should, they receive a visit from them. 90 Per Cent Hatched. As is generally known in hatching chickens by incubators, testers are used ! socm after the eggs are placed in the ma-; ! chines which determine what eeus are I fertile and eapab'e of hatching and what ones are not, and all are then rejected ex cept those that show up aright. In the recent uial with the Homer City incuba tor at the Oak's Poultry liirm 90 per cent of the fertile egos left were hatched out successfully and the others were found upon examination to contain yoene; chickens. Mr. John K. Henry who at tendee! to the machines, believes that tin so also would have been hatchid all right but lor the Ir. quent opening of the incu bator to .-how visitors how it worked This is splendid w ork and ihe result with the incubator which Mr. Ileniy had at Mr. Hige's is very ni ar as go d. Ii cubato.s have been used heretofore but l.ttl vantage in this community, but their ad .ire so iniinv ere loniz we expect to -ee ihein in common use. Close of'tric Colored Fair. Fiid.iV was the last dav of the colored Fair. 1 he series ot three txuse ball games be - tween the MllUl lls. ot llmmgton and the (Quicksteps, of Kdcuton, for a prize a hundred dollars was not continued.

I New Berne Must Speedily Become a j I Mnrket lor the Crop or the Tlious. ! i hikIb ol Dollnra it Sell lor Will SurclY 1 low to Tow ut that 4rait tli ' Situation and Art Accordlnirly. We recently made mention of some very line tobae co raised by tenants of C. II. t Foy in Jones county and told of the rapid increase of attention to tobacco culture , and its successful results in Lenoir county. ; ' ILo-mau I.. Woolen was in to see us Tues- : : day. and Irom what lie tells us this county aUo lias maele a gooj start in the matter. . He gives us the following list ot fanners w ho put in small acreages of tobacco this 'season and what he thinks the crop of, each one is: : At Fort Barnwell thcr--, are the follow-j ing grow ers, fl. P. liartlcy;! acre-, 2.000 i pounds; another additional acre, l.tNM); p0ulJ(j.. jj c. Davis. 20 acres, 10,000 ,)ouu,)s; J. L. Gaskill. 3 acres, 2,000 pounds. Besides those at Foit Barnwell, he kDOWS nf the following: Terrace West . ... o nnil ioimrls- ttidinrd White 4 a(.r(,s 2.0(H) pounds; Murphy Taylor. 4 1 acres. 2,000 pounds a toUil of 21,000 I pounus. Air. v ooten nad tne suiiervision oi cur- ing Mr. Hartley's tobacco anil he speaks i ot it as remarkably tine. None ot it has . i.'.i.i.. xt c.-. been sold yet but he says that intelligent judges of gooel tobacco says it was ahead of any that was sold at the Kinston tobac co market opening. This tobacco is of some special kind but Mr. Wooten did not remember the name ot the variety. It is of large leaf and is line and silky, well adapted to making cigars. Some of it has been tried in that way anel found to work easily. One of the leaves measured was two feet and eight inches in length and a foot and a half m width. i Such re-ults as these show what we '. have claimed before that we have lands ! tinely adapted to the raising of tobacco j and it only requires properly directed j effort to add that product to the others that are grown here. Now that the value of our lands for to bacco crops has been thus practically ele monstrateil, we look for its culture to increase rapidly. If New Berne business men are wise they will, before another sea son, erect a large warehouse and prize house here, and send out encouragement to the farmers to plant tobac:o and mark et it here. Instruction as to varieties, grow ing and turing can also be sent out. We are satisfied that Craven and ad joining counties are just on the eve of devoting their attention to this industry to a pretty large extent. Much of it will be raised where New Berne will be the handiest market for it. If opportunities lor marketing it here awe afforded, it will bring thousands of dolh.rs in, and the bulk of the money will be spent as the tobacco is housed. If the market is not provided here the farmers must, perforce, seek a tOivn that does have buyers and selling conven iences. We put the matter before our mer chants plainly and look for something to grow out of it. It is a matter in which a board of trade could do splendid work. ATLANTIC HOTEL WtXT SEASON. To be Ran by Two Wilson Men To Keep tbe ItfaniMrenient In Home Hands Is Commendable. -Tt is understood that Messrs. Geo. D. Green and Frank W. Barnes, of Wilson, w ho are big stockholders in the Atlantic Hotel at Morehead City, will be the man agers at that rtsort next season. This will insur; that the hotel will be better kept next year than ever before." The above item is from the Xews and Observer We are always glad to see the Hotel in charge of our own people. The mere lact that they are men who are here with us continually irspires a confidence at once on the part of intending guests that is not felt when some unkQown dis tant manager (who is most likely to be simply a bird ot a season) is in charge, although his coming is heralded with great laudation. Possibly there is an idea, on the part of the directors anel stockholders that when a man is secured from some other S:ate, he will most likely, influence and bring outside patronage to the hotel, but we doubt this. Tlie hotel W there, its super ior location, huge size, abundant conven iences and ever-present cutside enjoyments are widely known and we believe a home management, changed as little as possible, will create an abiding confidence both throughout our own State and in others that will be conducive of tlie hotel's high est prosperity. There have len no better seasons at the hotel than when just such men as are proposed for next season will be in charge. Another reason for feeling peifectly satisfied that Messrs. Green and Birnes will do everything possible to please everv guest, is that they are stock- holelers and will have the future good of the hotel at In art as well as the patronage ot the running season. TIIK IMPROVEMENTS FINISHED At the New Berne Water Works -The ClianircM MaUe antl What They Will Accomplish. 1 he improvements at the water works arc now completed. The changes that have been made are as follows: Air-clnmbcrs have been put in every where that they can be of use and the main pipe has been lowered to a depth of three to fourjieet in the ground. The object of lowering this pipe is to make it so that the water w ill flow of its own accord from the Willi to it, thus ' ketnintf it full all the time, and making it j s0 that instead of having to to pump out I of the wells when pump pressure is wan- i ted at unv time, the water will be-alreadv in the main line waiting to be pumped out and thus save the time in starting I a i.i .k ....oi, - i. .,,i. i ! .iiih.'UkII woi 13 vlo a uiiuiiicu auu llieiiu feet in depth the water rises in fourofthem almost to the top. This makes it so that the lowering of the main pipe and the corresponding depression of the pipes leading from the wells to it, gives the ! now 0l water Uiat ls desired, I TT,.rptofoi-fi nir chambers have lon used i only at the oumos. There is now one at every well and one on the suction line. The main one is twelve feet long and 13 inches in diameter; the others are si in ches in diameter and and vary from about four to seven feet in length. There is air inwater. Now, what ever air is in it will pass into the air chambers instead of into the pumps and enable a larger volume to be thrown with a given amount of work. The advantage of these improvements as well as of the two wells added are ! namii' manliest i. ne company nas aone 1 ,e Publ c S0CKl &Te in M!err?.

As through the crowded streets there 1 a-scd ' A er. ai ui'e not to be described, Wlio bore aloft a shield inseTiled 'The new woman." ! Her trousers were a litlle wide I And just a trille short lieside, j As forward on her wheel she dashed, i While on the startled vision flashed j Tlie new woman. I Her brow with evening dew was drench- el, i Yet tight the handle bar she clenched, And never dropped the banuei bold u Inch showed alike to young ami old The new woman. Oh. stay," the young man said, "and rest Vour weiry head upon my breast. You surely cannot further go!" A voice replied, "You do not know The new woman." ''Avoid this path,-' the old man called. "IU danger have strong men appall-ed.'- Again a proud cry Hoa'ed back, "Y'ou can't keep in the lieaten track The new woman." "Beware the politician's fate And turn back ere it is too late.'' Rut ever high above the din "Come w hat come may, this vote win, The new woman.' '' shall The timid crowd bewildered sat, Antl many sighed, "Where are we at?" One man was bold enough to try To follow where Ixfore did fly The new woman. All night lie rode through darkness vast And ever anxious glances cast, ut sped of his could not avail To catch upon her dia.y trail The new woman. And when at last tlie morning broke In bitterness these words he spoke, 'Tis plain I'm distanced, and the race Is hers by right of rapiil pace, The new woman." Indianapolis Journal. SIKTl'AKY.

And wears a graceful costume that is short above the hre Can any one gainsay it, that though chan ged in mode of dress. She's of the gender feminine, anel not a whit the less? Aud it she does the bloomer or !he knick-er-bocker clothes. Is not her person just as sweet as any blooming rose? What if the college maiden rows a shell or sculls with oar, r takes a goal in fooihall-field or !owl upon theflooi? Is she any less a woman if her skin is very J brown, ' Than when she trailed her skirts in mud j nnel wore a high-necked gown? ! And if she boxes out her foe or lem e - like a man, Iacks she any fascination, wliate'r her schemw or plan? Ro far as all experience of men with women goes. For every ten of marriages nine are full with woes. The very latest woman, with her muscle, brains or pluck, May bring new joys to wedded life and give us better luck. Of one thing I am certain, from the widest range of view Old-fashioned types must stand aside and make way for the new. The kissy girl, the hnggy girl who, must lie loved or die, The modest girl, the too sweet g!rl, have bad their fling for aye. Thank heaven for tlie change that's come, and fascinating fads; For me,the merry out-door girl, who emu lates the lads. THE IM MR ( HU D. She is my only girl. I asktil for her, as some most precious thing. For all unfinished was love's jeweled ring Till set with this soft pearl. The shadow time brought forth I could not see. How pure, how perfect seemed the gift to me! Oh, many a soft old tune I used to sing unto that deadened ear And suffered not the slightest footsteps nenr, Lost she might wake too soon. And hushed her brothers' laughter as she lay. Ah, needless care! I might have let them play. 'Twas long ere 1 llieved That tliia one daughter might not speak to me, Waited and watched, God knows how patiently, How willingly deceived. Vain love was long the untiring nurse of faith And tender hope until it starved to death. Oh, if she could but hear For one short hour till I her tongue might teach To call me mother in the broken speech That thrills the mother's ear! Alas, those sealed lips never may 1 stir red To the sweet music of that holy word. My heart it sorely tries To see her kneel with such a rev'rent air Beside her brothers at their evening prayer. Or lift those earnest eyes To watch our lips, as though our words she knew, Then move her own, as Bhe were speak ing too. I've watched her loolriDg up To the bright wonder of a sunset sky With such a depth of meaning in her rye That I could almost kope The struggling soul would burst it3 bind ing cords And the long pent up soul flow forth in words. Tbe song of bird and bee. The chorus of the breezes, streams and groves, All the grand music to which nature moves Are wasted melody To her, the world Of sound a tameless void, While even silence hath its charm de stroyed. Her face Is very fair; Her blue eyes !eiiutifui, of finest mold, The soft white brow, o'er which in waves of gold Ripples her shining hair. Alas, this lovely temple closed must be, For He who made it keeps the master key. Wills He the mind within Should from earth's babel clamor be kept free. E'en that His still small voice aud step might be Heard in its inner shrine Through that deep hush of soul with clearer thrill? Then sfiould I grieve? ( murmuring heart, be still ! Bhe seems to have a sense Ol quiet gladnesfe iu her noiseless play. She hath a pleasant smile, a gentle way, Whose voiceless eloquence Touchi s all hearts, though I had once the fear That even her father would not care fo her. Thank God it is not so. And when his boys are playing mer rily She conies and lays her head upon his knee. Oh, t such times I know By his full eye and tonos subdued and mild How his heart yearns over his sileDt child. Not of all gifts bereft Even now. How could I say she dill not speak? What real language lights her eye and cheek And readers thanks to Him wdio left Unto her soul yet open avenues For joy to enter and for love to usel And God in love doth give To her defect a beauty of its own. And we a deeper teuderness have kuown Through that for which we grieve. Yet shall the seal l incited from her ear Yes, and my voice shall fill it, but not here When ttiat new sense-is given, What rapture will its first experience be That never woke to meaner melody Than the rich songs of heaven! To hear the lull toned anthem swelling rouud While angels teach the ecstasy of sound! John II. Wailanel. When a woman ia firm in her con victions it isn't wise to call her stubborn.
