be the last star game we shall see this

The street hands were at work on
Pasteur street yesterday, and they didn't
do the work any too soon. The weeds
had rrown very tall and lapped almost
across the sidewalk. The people up
there said that it was almost necessary
to carry torches at night to see how to
get through the thicket.
The reporter was shown one of the
strangest plants and perhaps the only
one of Its kind In existence. The plant
Is a potted one, a fish geranium, being
the one branch and a bean vine, the
other both growing from the Bame stem.
The bean vine appears to be a degener
ate of the old time "poor man" variety,
bat is bearing pods all the same. The
geranium la as flourishing as need be
and quite fragrant The plant was prop
agated by Mr G W Pope, and is a real cu
rloslty.
The base ball players and enthusiasts
were greatly disappointed yesterday be
cause of the non arrival of the Goldsboro
team. Every effort to get them here
was made, tickets forwarded for trans
portation and all arrangements were
made for the game. The managers were
nonplussed as they received no word
from the delinquent club why it did
not appear. There may have been a
misunderstanding as to the dates but no
other reason can be assigned for the
Goldsboro club's strange action.
Steve Carney, a chronic offender, who
every few weeks, rests and fattens up at
the expense of the city, was yesterday
persuaded to make an effort to pay for
his keep by the sweat of his brow. Here
tofore Steve has stubbornly refused to
go on the streets to work out his fines
and costs. The bread and water diet
had no effect, he Just swore he wouldn't
do anything. Yesterday he was made to
dress In the striped clothing, and told
that if he wouldn't agree to work, ball
and chain would be placed on him and
'he would be forced to go with the other
street hands as a sort of exhibit Stephen
' agreed to work.

A Word to the Wise.
Very often the reporter of the Journal
has been requested by persons taken be
fore the Mayor for some misdemeanor to
not publish their names In the psper,
The request Is natural enough because
they feel the shame of arrest keenly and
do not care to give tbc affair publi
city.
The Journal, however, has decided
that the police court proceedings will be
DUbllshed In full. Exceptions will be
made only when an explanation of cir
cumstances can be made that will be
deemed suifilctcnt to suppress the name.
The Journal reserves the right to deter
mine whether the excuse Is valid.
Therefore, If persons are sensitive
about their names appearing in Polite
Court news, they should not do things to
be arrested.
A word to the wise Is sufficient.

Another Noah Womble.
The Journal has received the follow
ing letter which In justice to the writer
it takes pleasure in publishing:
Eastovor, S C, Sept. 1, 1903.
Ed. Journal: I have read your issue
of August 11th (weekly paper) giving an
account of "Tho Would Be Horse Thief"
stating that the party was traveling un
der an assumed name and that his real
name was Noah Womble. This being
identical with my name, and being well
known to a good many people in Jones
and Onslow counties, along the Atlantic
Coast Line railroad with which I have
been connected for seven years or more,
I feel it a duty to myself to try to cor
rect any possible belief in their minds
that "the would be horse thief was my
self. If yuu will place this in your pa
per you will place me under lasting ob
ligations to you and the Journal.
Tours truly,
Noah D. Womblb.
The Noah Womble referred to in the
article quoted, lived in New Bern sever
al years ago, but left here and only re
turned in July, remaining a month.
During his stay he was constantly under
the influence of liquor and his conduct
did him no credit. After working the
town he procured a horse, as reported
in this paper at the time, and skipped
away.
The Mr Womble, writer of the above
letter was stationed at Maysvllle as rail
road agent and telegraph operator and
is well tnd favorably known through
that section
A. & N. C Train Derailed.
The shoo fly train met with a slight
accident yesterday morning. When
about four miles north of Newport the
tender and two coaches left the track
and went on the ties. There was, for
tunately no damage either to the pas
sengers or the derailed cars.
The cars were speedily replaced on
the track and the train was delayed but a
short time.

The four bones form a cnain to con
nect the drum akin of the outer ear with
the drum skin of the Inner and so to
conduct the sound. The next bone to
the mallet Is the anvil, then come the
spherical bone and the stirrup, which
looks exactly like Its namesake, but it
is by far the most Important of tn
four. By means of this alone one can
hear, in a fashion, even If all the others
be gone.
A bony, gristly tube Joins the ear
drum with the back of the mouth nt
the side of the soft palate. Hence the
four bones are always In a bath of air,
quite naked, as It were. It Is owing to
this that people who are somewhat
deaf are able to hear better when they
listen with their mouths open.
Now we come to the Inmost ear.
which is made up of three parts. The
first one Is called the vestibule, or hall,
and It ha a drumhead to which the
chain of little bone Is attached.
The hall leads to the other parts.
both of which consist of tortuous tubes
along which the sound passes. One
part is made of three semicircular
canals. The other Is shaped exactly as
a snail's shell. All these make np a
peculiar labyrinth, and all are com
pletely filled with a curious fluid. Their
Walls are lined with the sort, pulpy
nerves of hearing which communicate
with the brain. Owing to these com
plex and winding cavities, a great ex
tent of nerves is exposed for the recep
tion of sound.
Now, let us see what happens when
somebody says "Hearl" to you.
