Steamboat There was a rather u pleasant combt- astlon of events early Saturday morn ing which robbed the citizens living on Bast and South Front streets of a good lot of sleep. Shortly after midnight a steamboat started In blowing its whistle and kept np its shriek for a half hour. As a coun ter Irritant a dog began howling and between Jthe two it was vain to woo gentle sleep. It seems that the spirit which prompted the steamboat captain was that of one of the Vanderbllts when asked what would the public Bay to a certain poi.cy he replied "the pub- llo be d " Stesmboatmen should remember, that there are Interests to he considered quite as important us their own, and that they are committing an Insuffera ble nuisance, It has been the habit of boatmen to take a certain kind of pleasure to get their whistles tuned at any hour from 11 p m to 4 am and thus make -pan demorlum when there should bo perfect quiet. Some people are so unfortunate as to require sleep and take the night for that purpofe. Nature has provided that quiet thsll be maintained at night more than at any other time, In order that tleep may be undisturbed.

D: George Slover was an offspring of the old Slover fatally, which has, for generations, found a part of the ills of New Bern, taking a prominent head Id all movements looking to the' advance ment of the city's Interest, moral, civil and religions. Bis childhood wis shaped by those In fluences of home and church, which were divinely instituted tor the tottering and propagation of that which la best and noblest in human life. Endowed with a high and cultured appreciation of their Impor'anoe and value, he, from early manhood, lest his energies to the main tenance and dissemination of those In fluences and forces which had entered so largely Into the formation of his own iharacter, Dr Slover was educated at the Univer sity of North Carolina, where all of his .high ideals were confirmed, and all the noble impulses of his nature were quick ened. After this, he took the prescribed course of study in medicine, and devoted somo years to the practice, until, by rea on cf undne tax of this life on his ner vous system, he chsnged hit vocation and undertook the work of teaching. In thiscapaolty he labored Industriously and well, inculcating his noble Ideals he stamped the very life of the com munity with his own high character; wherefore, It msy truly be said. Tho dead, yet he speaketh" in the lives and labors of those whom he taught. Thus he took a string hand in advancing the Interest of the town, gvlng direction to its moral and civic excellence. Dr glover's latest employment was I the sphere of business. Here we find, also, the operation of those characteris tics which bad market! his career all along. He conducted himself according to rectitude, and commercial courtesy and fairness, and many are they, who recoil with- gratitude the favors and sympathies that characterised all his business relations. He was famished with a large measure of those excellencies of character which contribute to the making of a gentleman of the old type always courtly dignified and honorable. Probably the most abid ing, and best work of Dr Stover's life, wan w hut he so well did to advance the educational' Interests of the people of iSew Bern. Rising against discouragement and difficulty, he lost no opportunity, nor let his Interest flag, nor his energies tire, until New Bern now has Its high degree oi educational facility and advan tage. At the time of his death he was chair man of the School Board, and never failed to take prominent part In its counsels, and did no little In directing Its plans. He was likewise, interested in the spiritual condition and prosperity of the community, while because of natural re tirement, he took little pnbltc part In the work, nevertheless he was ever ready to lend a word of encouragement and give his means to the propsgation of the Kingdom. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, he ever showed a zeal for Its progress and efflclng. He was an ardent believer In lis tenets, aud so remained till death, and died in lie faith. He was a tender and devoted husband and cfllctionate father, a fond brother, and a never faille? friend. For his death there Is widespread mourning, and many friends and benl ficiarles mingle tears with those of loved ones for their dead. He rests f torn his labors, and his works do follow him, and may the kind Heaven ly Father deal very tenderly with those who mourn his loss, ; Carnival Notes. That no lewd or Indecent shows shall be alloweTon grounds of Carnival district." The above is one of the sen- tenses in the contract erlstlng between the Carnival Co. ank K of P Band. The Atlantic Coast Line has ordered that reduced rate of fare and one third for found trip be In effect during the week from Jacksonville and Intermediate stations to New Bern. The A ft N C R will give, one fare for round trip with special train leaving here Thursday night at 11:30 so as to accommodate all those who do net desire to remain oyer night. There has been more money spent In the rural districts advertising the com IngCai nival than all other Carnivals have spent for advertising purposes. So the merchants wilt be benefitted as well as the showmen, for after the people get here they will certainly do their fa I trading, while otherwise they m'ght go eisewnere. There will be three open air attrac tions that will be free to the public. Among these is a dally balloon ascension with trspcze performance attached. A prize will be dropped from the balloon after it is Invisible. The Crystal Maze will be an attraction that will take well with the ladies.

IMPROVEMENTS ON A It N C. Heavy Cross Tie Work Going on of load Filed For Registration In Craven. Though the Howland improvement Company has now had charge. of the At lantic and North Carolina Ball road lees than a week, much has been done In that skort time looking to the permanent Improvement of the road and the devel- t of the country through which it runs. The advertisements printed m this and other papers, circulating In this section tor 100,000 cross ties have re sulted la contracts for nearly half of that number, and already the work of re placing the decayed ties with new ones been commenced. But the most pressing work, and that demanding Im mediate attention, Is the building of new bridges. Borne of the trestles are in very bad condition, and must be rebuilt at once. The Chief Engiceor of the road has been making a careful Inspection of every "opening" in the trace this week aad bridge building forces will be tent out at once. The trestles that are In worst condition will be repaired for present use and entire!) rebuilt later, As soon as Iron can be secured the old SO lb rails now in use, will be taken up and new 70 lb ones will be put down. This will make the road bed of the A & N C, when properly ballasted, as It will be, one of the best and fastest tracks In the south. The work of relaying the track with new iron will begin this winter or early next spring and will require about six months for completion. The Morehead end of the road will probably be the first to be relayed since that is In the worst condition. Mr Rowland's plans contemplate the puichase of sufficient rolling stock for the business ot the road as soon as It has been pnt In first class condition The Improvements will give Eastern North Carolina such railroad facilities as It has never before enjoyed. In this work of Improving Its tracks, the new management of the road has re celved most cordial assurances of co-op eration and sympathy from the people living along the line. They are not on ly anxious to do everything in their power to facilitate the work of Improv ing the road now under way, hut to have an active share In any scheme that may be adopted for the development and up building of the country. The lease of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad to the Howiand Im provement Company was yesterday filed for registration In Craven county. It will have to be registered In all the five counties throngh which the road runs. Register Arrlngton of Carteret county was the first to get It and Register Wa ters of Craven is the second. It will go next to Lenoir, than Wayne and finally Jones. A Summer Cold. A summer cold Is not only annoying but If not relieved Pneumonia will be the probable result by Fall.

What It Means te the Hebrew People aad low They Observe It "May tfaou be Inscribed for a happy year." tW is the greeting among Jews the world over on their New Year's Day, or the feast of Rash Haanonab, which eSgSfS this jear on nail Sa'Urdav. It is equivalent to the EnglUh "Happy New Year.' Jewls feast are regulati-d by the lunar calender and New Yuer's varies from early In September to occasionally the j first week in October. Speakiog of the observance of the day , Rev. Kaufmann Eohler, President of th Hebrew Union College, (aid: "In the Bible the day wee known aa the day ot the Blowing of the Trnmpbet, and wne celebiated on the first dsy of the seventh month, in accordance with the Motsalc reverence for the number 7. Then the ram's horn and trumpet were blown to gether in the temples. Following the destruction of the tem ple, the blowing of the shofar, or ram's hort, became the msin feature of the day. After the return of the Jews from Babylon a, the seventh month, called Ttshrt, became the first month, the be ginning of the year being transferred from spring to fall. This first day of the esr was also de clared the first day of the world's year, er tha anniversary of creation. It eame to bs considered as the day of judgment when God is believed to decide the des tiny of men for the coming year, an idea borrowed from Babylonia. Consequent ly the day is observe ! as one of serious meditation and prayer, "Three times 8) blasts of the shofar are prescrlbsd In the Orthodox liturgy, while In Reformed chnrehes are only 10 blssts, whioh are combined with the trumpet or other Instrument to blend harmoniously as a part at the sacred music. Observance of the day is begun at snndown of the preceding day by ser vices in which prsyers for life and for giveness of sins are offered and a sermon delivered. In the .Orthodox circles New Yesr's Eve had special characteristic features at the table. Sweet things were eaten to express a wish for a sweet end delici ous yesr. The new year greeting is com mon among all Jews. 'New Year's Dsy must be viewed In eonnectlon with the feast of Yom Klppur or the Day ot Atonement, which is the general fast day and time of prayer for forgiveness of sins. This feast takes place 10 days later, and New Year's Is re garded as a sort Of preparation for it. The 10 Intervening dajs are called the penitential days. Orthodox Jews fast 24 hours on tha Day of Atonement, and the synagogues are kept open constantly. There are recesses at noon and later In the day in the Reformed churches, which have also done away with the custom of the men wearing shrouds." A Sweet Breath. is a never falling sign of a healthy stom ach. When the breath Is bad the stom ach Is out of order. There Is no remedy In the world equal to Eodol Dyspepsia Cure for curing Indigestion, dyspepsia and all stomach disorders. Mrs. Mary 8. Crick, of White Plains, Ky., writes "I have been a dyspeptic for years; tried all kinds of remedies but continued to grow worse. By the use of Eodol 1 be gan to Improve at once, and after taking a few bottles am fully restored in weight health and strength and can eat what ever I like." Kodol digests what you eat and makes the stomach sweet. Sold by F. 8. Duffy, druggist. SHORT PASSING EVENTS. A few people o I Carnival coming and claim that It will hurt business by taking money out of town which would be otherwise be spent at the stores. To say that such an argu-' ment Is "rot" only partially expresses It but does not convince the kickers. The Carnival will attract many people to visit the city, and while the show peo ple will get some money other places of business will come In for their share too. The .Carnival has been seenred for the benefit of the K of P band and is therefore a most worthy project that everyone In the city would do well to promote. A large force of hands has been at work the past few da ;s cutting the grass and weeds that have grown during the summer In the yaids, and along the tracks leading to tho shops and ware houses of the Howland Improvement Company. Judging from the great ac cumulation of grass and weeds that the growth must have been enormous.
