Purple and White. It's the Elks.
And J edging from everything seen,
and there waa abundant evidence in
light, yesterday was Elks Day in this
city. .
Strictly speaking the Day commenced
In Goldsboro Thursday night, when the
New Bern committee arrived in that
city, greeted their brethera from other
pelnts, and were taken In charge by the
Goldsboro contingent of expected-to-be
Lodge of Elks. '
And while the great purposes of Elk-
hood had not been divulged to the New
Ben delegation, yet the committee of
reception gave every slirn of being eligi
ble to the ranks of Elks, for they showed
no stagnant blood, but Instead an enga
ging hospitality that won the hearts of
their guests.
The parlor car Vance had been provi
ded, and in this car the reception com
mittee and visiting Elks made an enjoy
able trip to this city from Goldsboro.
And New Bern became an Elk City
shortly after 11 a. m.
A cardinal principle of Elkdom Is that
it Is a clan whose blood circulates.
Hence the process of installing the
New Bern Lodge members, yesterday,
Was said to be a pleasant undertak
ing.
At least no newly Installed member
complained of lack of circulation.
,It was a busy afternoon with the vis
iting Elks, although no New Bern
member complained of any special quiet
ness. I
It was tho way of .Elkdom, aud while
no hot sands have to be crossed by the':
candidate seeking membership, yet there
are crosses to be borne, trials to be en
dured, temptations to be resisted, before
the green fields are reached, and the
rocky road has been pased, and the
newly inxtalled Elk can rest his tired
hoofs, and take up UU insignia, which
gives blm the privilege of lining unto
others as be has bee a done by those
who watcLedhls troublous enlrance in
to Elkbood.
It Is a great Order, so say l hey who
rested after I ho weariness of the day,
and Bat down -at last night's banquet.
Another cardinal principle of Elkdom,
there are no hungry Elks.
And this principle was fully lived np to
for nothing could have been larther
away at the close nf the banquet laat
night, than hunger.
It was a memorable day, March 14th,
1902, for with tho dashing about of Klks,
thePtrple and White, appearing on
every side, there could be no tired feel
ing of spring time.
It seemed like a return of tho Fair
season, when every one had to hustle
or get inn down.
And the Day begun in Goldsboro on
Thursday night, ended In New Bern Sat
nrday, a. m. .
It is All Day with Elks. There are no
hours of darkness.
They are free disbursers of the cheer
which knows no dark place.
It is always sunshine In ho realms of
Elkdom,
. ji
The Installation banquet of the Now
Bern Lodgo of Elks, last night at Hotel
Hazel ton, was a splendid affair.
The dining Toom was trimmed with
festoons of purple and white, the Elks
colors, while vines and flowers filled up
all spaces left vacant.
The banquet table was in the shape of
a-huge ''" to which seventy-five sat
down to the following menu:

WASHINGTON LETTER
Special CorrvtpoDleDoe.J
Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama
is said to have more genera informa
tion stored away In his head than any
'other 'member of the United-States
senate. Although he has devoted the
moat At his time for years to the iirth
piant canal question, he has found op
portunity -to, keep track ot everything
else that, was going on in Washington.
When tha other members of the senate
.want ito' And out anything, they ask
Morgan.
Theytber day during a discussion of
tholnteroceaflio canal bill one of the
membersTotjthe committee asked Sena
tor Morgan .what .were the provisions
ot,a (certain treaty .with France which
hadVworked Itself into the controversy.
Much'a their surprise, the senator did
notanswcr.Aut sent his clerk to Sena
tor'jCullom's room for a copy of the vol
ume! containing a compilation of the
I treaties entered ' into by this nation
witbiorelgn'-governments. When the
clerk' returned, Mr. Morgan laboriously
lookedup the treaty In question in the
ilndexfand, then proceeded to enlighten
! the nther: senators. He held the open
ibookjbefore him whllo he repeated the
provjslonfl of the treaty, but the other
'senators! noticed that not once did he
'glance- at the printed page while he
'was reciting the provisions.
1 "WhE.taid you send for the book If
you i knew the test of the treaty by

I "Well," replied Morgan, "I could not
remember for the life of me whether it
ibegariwlth This' or 'A,' and I wanted
to make sure."
Am Esabarrasslna; Report.
Secretary Shaw has suffered annoy
ance through the publication In the
eastern press of statements concerning
his .wealth. The newspapers of the east
have contained exaggerated accounts
of his financial condition, bis wealth
being estimated at various amounts
over $1,000,000, and that these mis
statements are causing the new sccre-
itary.real annoyance Is not doubted, for
the reason that be has referred to them
many times in his talks with friends.
I In pointing out tho embarrassments
I which will cometo him through the
i false stories concerning bis wealth,
Secretary Shaw said:
I "I find upon striking a balance that
I am possessed of this world's goods
to the amount of $125,000 not more.
If the impression gains ground In
Washington circles that I am a mil
lionaire, I will bo expected to entertain
accordingly, and therefore I have to
contemplate seeing the modest accu
mulations of a lifetime disappear be
fore the end of my official term Is
reached."
i
I How He Acquired Knowledge.
I Senator Fettus of Alabama, the old
est man in the senate, quotes the Bible,
Shakespeare and Bunyau constantly in
conversation and in his speeches. The
other day, after he had fired a Biblical
quotation at Senator Burrows, the
Michigan senator asked him how he
attained such fnmlllarity with the
I Scriptures.
. "Well," drawled Senator rettus,
."when I was a young man, in 1849,
rode on horseback from Selma to San
Francisco. I had a complete library
in my saddlebags a copy of the Bible,
,a opyof Shakespeare and a copy of
'Banyan's 'Pilgrim's Progress.' I read
'and reread those books as I jogged

the campfires at night. I know them

HINTS FOR FARMERS
. Whr Can Ears Doat nil Oat.
After, all that haa been said and writ
ten about tne corn not tUIlnc well ea
the cob the past season I have not seen
tho real cause given eren by onr ablest
writers. They have given as the cause
that the tassels were burned and killed
by the great heat before tho pollen
ripened." By careful examination we
found' plenty of pollen even in the
worst tassel killed fields.
The real cause of damage was the
scorching of the silks. It should be un
derstood that every grain has a silk;
that each silk is a hollow tube catch
ing the pollen and carrying It up to the
cob, form! tig a grain. The outer silks
on the end extend-back and form the
grains at the butt of the ear and, being
on tho outer side, were more exposed
to heat than the inner and shorter ones
which form grains at the small end of
the ear and hence were more damaged,
causing tn a great degree more damage
to the butt than the nib of the ear. It
has been proved by experiment that a
greater yield can be obtained If the tas
sel Is removed from every other row
before the ripening of the pollen. It Is
known that nature Is very generous In
her ways and that one tassel will pol-
lentiie every stalk for .many yards.
Jacob Lovlns In Breeder's Gasette.
Starting- Plaata TJader Class.
It mny seem expensive to start plants
under glass, yet many seasons it Is the
cheapest method. By this plan we are
better able to fight the insects; also we
can protect the plants during an unex
pected cold wave. Perhaps pieces of
inverted sod are as good material as
any for the beginner. Cut it in blocks
from three to four inches square.
Whether to use any manure in the bed
depends upon the season. The more
manure Is used the' greater caution
must be exercised In ventilation.
Last year we started a few lima
beans In sod. They did very well. We
never started tomatoes In sod. They
can be readily transplanted without
receiving much check. Years ago some
of our gardeuers used to start tbelr
real early tomatoes in sod. Transplant
ing a few times from one bed to an
other is perhaps as advantageous as a
piece of sod. Whatever plants we start
under glass the final result will be a
failure unless we perfectly harden the
plants before setting them out in the
open field. A. Sbirer in National Stock
mun and Farmer.
Good aad Bad Stock.
As we read In the stock market re
ports of sales of high grade steers sell
ing at almost $7 per hundredweight we
wonder how those poor fellows feel
who sell at $3.50 or less. 'We know how
we should feel if we bad an orchard
that bore only cider apples worth 25
cents a barrel, while our neighbor .was
selling his fruit at $3 and $4 We
should want to grub out those worth
less trees and set an orchard of better
varieties if we could not do better by
top grafting tho old trees. If we had a
lot of scrub stock that we had to ac
cept half prices for, we would either
sell the lot and buy better or we should
select the best of them and grade up
by putting a pure bred male and keep
grading up until we had lost the count
of the percentage of impurity In the
blood. Wo think we should lose sight
of it in the herd before we got beyond
our knowledge of fractions. American
Cultivator.
Disposal of Carcasses of Animals.
Unnecessary loss Is often caused by
the method in which farmers dispose
of carcasses of animals dying from un
known causes. Where death occurs
in the winter the common practice Is
to draw the carcass to a back lot or to
the woods, at a distance from the
house, and leave it unburied. Crows,
hawks, skunks, foxes and dogs have a
feast and leave nothing but the bones.
In case the uulmnl died of a contagious
disease this may be the cause of later
widespread trouble through the neigh
borhood, the germs being carried by
the dogs and animals which ate the
carcass. When it cannot be buried
deeply, tho body should be burned by
placing it on a pile of wood or brush
and saturating well with coal oil be
fore applying a match.
Alfalfa.
Alfalfa succeeds as far north as Can
ada. It grows well Borne years In Da
kota, though occasional .winters kill it
out there. Occasionally a very dense
and heavy snow may kill it Occasion
ally an open winter may kill It in the
far north, yet it la more , hardy than
red clover. Seed Is saved from the sec
ond or third cutting usuall; and is
thrashed with an ordinary thrasher..
(Tho bay Is a little more easily cured
than red clover, but must be raked be
fore it has lost its toughness or the
leaves will shatter and be lost
. ''Dollar Wheat."
It is estimated that from 30 to 40 per
cent of tho winter wheat crop of 1901
Is still In the hands" of the men who
raised It In the Kansas wheat belt
These men are now talking "dollar
wheat" and seem determined to bold
their grain for that or at least a high
er figure than Is at present being offer
ed them,, though that figure is higher
than It has been for years in that re
gion. Many of the mills are running
on short time owing to their inability
to get wheat enough to put In full

Foods ta Avoid.
It Is well to refuse the sausage
brought to your breakfast table If it la
stale and to refrain from using the
cream In your coffee if It Is the least
bit sour. Otherwise you run the risk of
becoming blind.
Some foods, It Is said, are most inju
rious to the sight "A case was brought
under the notice of an eye specialist"
says The Dloptlc Review, "in which
the eyes of a whole family were af
fected by eating rabbit pie. In each in
stance the patient had become afflicted
with a peculiar defect of vision that Is
technically known as failure ot accom
modation.' Stale sausage . and , sour
cream cause a weakening ot tho sight
known as 'amblobla.' Blindness result
ing from eating tainted fish has been
found almost impossible to cure, and
quinine is often responsible for some
persons' half blind condition. This
drug affects the optic nerve In a man
ner that sometimes ends In blindness."
It might be added that alcohol occa
sionally makes peoplo "blind,"
