A Sunday and Unlicensed Liquor Seller Comes to Grief. An important arrest In the person of Tim Smith, colored, was made Sunday by policeman Lapton. Smith has recent ly come to the city from Dunn, N. C. and little was known of him. Bat sus pectlng that liquor was procured in an illegal way somewhere np town, Mr Lap ton verified his suspicions by detailing a man named Fisher, who bought liquor of the man and famished the State evi dence. Smith was on trial before Mayor Pat terson yesterday on the charge of selling liquor on Sunday. He was pat under (100 bond to appear for trial at the next ' term of Superior Court for trial of crim inal casea. In default of bond he was taken to the County jail. When the State is done with Smith the government will take him in hand for selling liquor without a license, or operating what is known as a "blind Tiger." Sorely, Smith's cap of trouble is fall.

Haghes Building, Brad ham, Baxter, BartUif, Early, Gcrock Burned Oaf. About 7:10 p. n. last night there was a cry of "Are" on Middle street, the fire being located ander tbe roof in the cen ter back part of the Hughes building comer Middle and Pollock streets. The Fir Department quickly respond ed to the alarm, but the fire was hard to reach, spreading out belacen the Uu roof and celling, and as it apparently had been burning for sometime before being discovered, there waa a blaze from under tha rear roof before the depart ment reached the scene, there was every indication of a serious conflagration. Chief Daniels at once ordered out both steam fire engines to assist, and within the hour, the fire was practically under control, confined to tbe Hughes building, which was a wreck. At one time Simmons & Ilclbwell Go's Store was seriously threatened, as was other adjacent property, but the firemen got the hose upon surrounding building and poured In tons of water from every side, keeping tho fire from spreading. The building was owned by Dr K. W. Hughes and was valued at $5,000, upon which there was $1,500 Insurance. Bradham's Pharmacy had a stock of over f 10,000, with $5,000 insurance. Dr. E. F. Early had dental furnish ings and stock valued at $,000, with (500 insurance. Ed Gerock's loss is unknown, as be out of the city. E.-llmi.te.l Is $1,- 000. Insurance Co. ct Va. N. M. Kancv.-, Manager, lost Its office furniture. Hart ling and Baxter, the Jeweler, saved their goods by being carried out. Simmons & Hollowell Co's. rjooda were damaged to some extent by water, which could not be estimated last night. The Arm carries a stock of (Sl.OOO with $14,000 Insurance. The loss is about $20,0CO, with Insur ance outside of Simmons & Hollowell Co's. of about $7,000. Outside the efficient work of the fire department, there was generous assist ance from citizens, also the ere .v from the Boutwell lent eood aid in rescuing property which was threatened. During the fire the electric lights wort turned off, but the full moon gave all necessary light. The prompt, steady anil thorough work of the hose companies, and the fire engines crews, was noteworthy. There was an entire absence of any kind of ex citement on the streets during the re. Dr Hughes will rebuild as soon as pos sible. Like the fire which damaged Ibis build lng on Sunday night March 11th, 1000, the origin of last night's is unknown, although it seemed to start in the same place. MADE HIM UNDERSTAND. ISaed MnmiKCr Tenches the Smart Yonng Man a Lesson. "Absent yesterday," sniil the .aged manager as he adjusted his glusse3 to the smart young man. "Yes, sir," replied the clerk. "Absent from Illness?" "No, sir." "Oh, you're honest nt any rate. Most men would say they were." I haven't been absent from Illness for nearly a year." "You haven't?" The old man looked surprised. "No, sir. It has been with me nil the time." "What has?" "Illness of some sort." "But you said that yesterday" "Yesterday I was nbsent on account of illness, sir." The old man thought the matter over for a minute or two, and then he said: "Yes, yes; I see. You're rather par ticular In your use of words." "Yes, sir. Study to use them correct ly." "Of course; and I'm a trifle careless. Now, please see If this sentence is cor rect: 'Hereafter you will be absent from my displeasure.' " "Ye-es, sir." "You will also be absent on account of my displeasure." "Ye-es, sir." "And because of my displeasure." "Ye-es, sir."

His remains will be brought bore for burial. The cause of bis death was erysipelas, flc was 65 years old. The "Ear ol Dlonjlu." A cuiin'.iiiily constructed prison cav ern, consisting of a large chamber con nected with one of smaller dimensions, sKit.'Hcil near Syracuse, Italy, has gone into legendary history with the title of tie..' "K:ir of Dlonysius." The smaller chamber was unknown to the prisoners kept in this underground dungeon, and the tyrant by whose name it is known had a habit of secreting himself there to listen to the conversation of the con victs, who were mostly political offend ers. An Ingenious device constructed at the smaller end of the larger chamber transmitted tbe Bounds through the partition, thus enabling the suspicious ruler to hear even the whispered con versations of bis "suspects." Something- to Shoot. The other day a solitary sportsman. his gun under his arm, was wandering down a country lane In Inverness-shire when be met n small boy making for tho school. 'I say, my boy," he remarked, "la there anything to shoot down here?" Tho boy looked around or a moment and then answered with eagerness: "Aye, there's a skulemalster comln' owre the hill!"

Any doubter in the efficacy of adver tising would have received a decided jar If they had barn In the Bee Hive store between the hours of 11 and 13 yesterday morning. Nothing could have demon strated tha power of an ad so well aa did this crowd. v The Bee Hive announced a special sale In the Journal Saturday and Sua day morning stating a reduction of five cents a yard on a certain class of goods if the prospective purchaser showed the ad. The Idea took like wild fire and ladles crowded Into the store to take advantage of the offer. It required tbe services of several additional clerks to attend to the wants of purchasers and the desk filta were piled high with Journal ads. The moral of this little episode sticks oat la great big bumps; what It Is the ournal leaves its readers to gacsa. EMBRACED AND STOLE. A Colored Woman Makes Use of A Hew Graft Lucy Mitchell and Alice Martin, col ored women, were Krrcsted for pocket picking on clever and modem principlts They ware oc Middle street near the dock Friday night aud tho Mitchell woman being of an affectionate disposi tion threw her arms around a county man and went through his pockets.

Being unable to give bond tbe women were taken to jail to await trial at Criml nal Court. PEDDLING WITHOUT LICENSE. A Drummer Gets Hlmselt Into Trouble by Falling to Pay Bis License. A. G. Hoyt, a white man, was arrested Friday night on the tharge of peddling In tho city without a lioense. Constable Dwlgbt Styron made the complaint and also arrested the man. It Is said that lloyt went to the busi ness men with a captivating offer of a clock as premium If they would buy 190 cigars; the same to be delivered within a few days. Many were suspicious though there have been no advices from other towns as to any Irregularities in the man's transactions. He appeared before Magistrate 8. R.

"Who is This." In a recent Issue of your paper was a list of linqual "Donts" that are pertl nant, timely and educating, and to them wish to add Don't say "Who is this" for "Who Is that" when talking over the phone.

There la an Interesting atady U en quiry aa to the cute of the unnatural heat and cold that haa been experienced along tha eastern slop tho past few years. Scientists advaaee one theory after another only to be shattered by some eoramoa tense proposition which makes said theory look like a lead nlckeL Bocae ot these theories have leas baela te them than do the old time superstitions regarding tha weather, and yet some people bellere them as If they were ah vine revelations. A scientist has lately endeavored to show that tha extended warm season of last fall waa that something had been larred out of place. This country had been blown out to eeaorelse the gulf stream haa changed its course and comet nearer tho United Btatea than usual, thus making a warmer condition for the coast states. On tha same principle It would be as natural to suppose that the cause of the Intense cold that we have had this win ter was the existence of a mammoth Ice berg off Cap Hetteras or Lookout One theorr Is as good as the other. The only reason for the very cold weather Is, that there Is very little coal or any thing else to burn; hence It la very cold. Had there been plenty of coal we would have had a mild winter. At least It looks that way to a man up a tree. J Manv thlnea both true and otherwise mostly otherwise have been written In magazines on the romantic side of ne gro life. That there is plenty of mate rial for a healthy Imagination to feed upon is evident to every observant per son who haa lived among colored peo ple. Their droll customs and Ideas have been the meads ot keeping the wolf from the door of many an Impecunious scribe. Not long ago there was a happy old coon going along the street In this city He had imbibed long and fervently ol that which exhlllarates to the extent of poetic fantasy and noisy exuburance. II he had been In different circumstances his remarks would not have been noticed but Lis good nature waa contagious and the crowd seemed to enjoy his rollicking lag as he went up the street in an uncer tain kind of a way singing loudly, If not harmoniously, "Old corn liquor's got me, It's got me by the ha'r I 'spec 1ft hadn't got me I'd bin a melonaire."
