Foundry Dtttroyea
Firs.
Th foundry of Cosby Williams'
machine shop was destroyed by fire last
night about nine o'clock. The lire had
obtained a good headway before it was
discovered and there was a big blaze
giving rise to fears that other buildings
adjacent would go also.
The firemen worked hard, however,
and in a remarkably short time had the
fire under control The flames being
confined almost entirely to the foundry
and rear part of the store house, '. The
machine shop was not damaged to any
'great extent
Mr. Cosby was seen last night and
stated that he had not made' an esti
mate on the loss, but did not think it
wniilH ho over S1.500. There was no
insurance.
The cause of the fire is not known.
The only fact in connection with it is
that the fire caucrht from the boiler
room. "- :'. . "
The water works and the two engines
' were hard at work on the fire and the
firemen had an important' assistant in
the heavy down pour of rain.

A Spell of Cold Weather
The past week has been remarkable
for its continued cold. There have
been days this winter that the mercury
has got lower in the thermometer than
it did this week';but it quickly recovered
iteelf.This time, ! however, the mer
cury went downand stayed there much
to the discomfort of the people here
who are not used to such rough weath-
Not only has the cold wav 'touched'
the South but all over the country lit
has been of unusual severity. In some
places the thermometer reached as low
a point as 50 degrees below zero. It
has been the coldest week that we
have had for ten years at least

Letter To H. W. Simpson.
New Bern, N. C,
Dear Sir-
You know what paint is for, how it
does it, how it fails, what paint does it,
and what paint don't. It's your busi
ness to know: of course you know De-
voe.
There are some details, which, of
course, you can't be expected to know.
For instance the next-best paints are
only three quarters as good. That's
strange; very strange. ' There are a
dozen of them perhaps; you don't know
them so accurately as that; you don't
know them all by name. , No matter;
one is enoueh: the only one you have
real occasion to know is Devoe.
The queer of it is that the others
leave the whole business to us so. We
make paint as good as we can; others
make it as good as they have to. Queer
but we don't complain.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE & CO,

fey the rtMU Whistler.
"Amazing!" the favorite ejaculation
of the brilliant and eccentric artist,
James MacNeill Whistler, Is the word
Which seems best to fit the curious
combination of personal peculiarities
mischievous wit. tricksy jests, gay
quarrels, harmless vanities and remark
able artistic performance revealed In
Mr. Mor'iiuer Menpes' recent recollec
tions his "Master." The eccentrici
ties of Whistler's character were
Hatched by those of bis appearance,
for he never dressed like anybody else,
and he had, just over his left eye, a
single lock of white hair amid a mass
of black curls. His own Interest In
his appearance was great, for he re
garded the composition of costume and
coiffure with the same seriousness
which he would have bestowed upon
the composition or a picture, and In
deed the result was unmistakably pic
turesque. .
"Customers ceased to be interested
In their own hair," says Mr. Menpes of
Whistler's entrance into barber's
shop. "Operators stopped their manip
ulations; every one turned to watch
Whistler, who himself was supremely
unconscious. His hair was first trim
med, but left rather long, Whistler
meanwhile directing the cutting of
every lock as he watc'ed the barber in
the glass. He, poor fellow, only too
conscious ,of the delicacy of his task,
shook and trembled as he manipulated
the scissors. The clipping completed.
Whistler waved the operators Imperi
ously on one side, and we observed for
some time the rear view of his dapper
little figure, stepping backward and
forward, surveying himself In the
glass. Suddenly be put his head into a
basin of water, and then, half drying
bis hair, shook it Into matted wet curls
With a comb he carefully picked oul
the white lock, wrapped it In a towel
and walked about for five minutes,
pinching it dry, with the rest of hi
hair hanging over his face a stage
which much amused the onlookers.
"Still pinching the towel, he would
then beat the rest of his hair Into ring
lets (comblug would not have given
them the right quality) until they fell
Into decorative waves all over his head.
A. loud scream would then rend the
sir. Whistler wanted a comb. This
procured, he would comb the white lock
Into feathery plume and with a few
broad movements of his hand form the
whole into a picture. Then he would
look beamingly at himself In the glass
aud say but two words, 'Menpes;
amazing r and sail triumphantly out of
the shop."
HER STOLEN RIDE.
Mn. Fletcher' Illesral tea of a Street
Car Transfer. .
"I think," said Mrs. Fletcher serene
ly, "that I did something today that
would land me in the penitentiary If
anybody ever found out about It"
"Iu that case," Fletcher remarked,
"It Is to be hoped nobody will ever find
out"
I don't think they will. I am quite
sure I shall not tell it to anybody but
you. But really It was dangerous. I
made an illegal use of a street car
transfer. : A young man on the corner
gave it to me. He asked me If I was
coming uptown from 81xty-flftn street
and I soldi was.
" Then perhaps you'd like to take
this transfer,' he said. 1 am not go
lug to use it' ;
He was an awfully nice young fel
low. He said he always takes trans
fers whether he wants them or not
It he doesn't need them he may see
somebody else who does. I told him
I would like to take that one, but that
I was afraid.
"There is a law against traffic in
transfers. Isn't there? I said.
'Oh, bother the lawf said theyonng
man. 'I believe tney am ciap some
fellows into jail the other day or fine
them or something tor handling trans
fers, but tbey didn't work it right
You're all right so long aa yon don't
get caught
Of course," continued Mrs. Fletcher,
"I could see that much myself, so I
took the transfer. It made me feel
quite quite you know what"
"Devilish?" suggested Fletcher.
"Yes, quite um-m-m-m to be mixed
up in such a crooked deal Tou set
didn't know any minute what would
come of it I was scared, yet I thor
oughly enjoyed the situation. For
months I bare been wanting to ride on
a stolen transfer. I hav seen lots of
other people do it and thoy all looked
so happy because they bad saved a
nickel that I really envied them.
didn't think I would ever have norvo
enough to try it but" "
Mrs. Fletcher opened her purse and
scattered th contents on tb table.
"Hellor said Fletcher. There's an
other transfer. Where did you got
thatr
Mrs. Fletcher eyed th green slip of
paper wonderingly.
'Ob, I remember now," she said. "I
met Mrs. Boyer In the car. I got so
interested in what she told .me about
her new sleeves that I. forgot all about
the transfer. I gave the conductor
nickel after all," New York Press.

INDEXING BOOKS.
The CbMm Is aa Ola Oae That Do
vetoeea slather Slewlr.
The custom of Indexing books devel
oped gradually. Cicero used the word
Index," but In the sense of a table of
contents. . Seneca provided some works
which he sent to a friend with notes of
particular' passages, "so that he who
only aimed at the useful might be
spared the trouble of examining them
entire," This was at least a partial
"index" in the modern sense. Anno
tated, or at least explanatory, tables of
contents, seem to have preceded the In
dex proper. .'-';'
Such, tables followed the order of ap
pearance of the subjects In the book
itself. Alphabetical, arrangement,
which was the beginning of the real in
dex, appears not to have been thought
of anttl the invention of printing, and
even then it spread but slowly. Eras
mus was one of the first to provide his
works with alphabetical indexes. The
custom did not become universal un
til well Into the sixteenth century.
The first index to an English book is
said to be that printed In Polydore
Vergil's "Angliae Hlstorlae," in 1646.
An edition of this work published ten
year later has an Index of thirty-seven
pages.

THE CURVED BALL
It la tha Atmosphere Which Caaeea
Ita Eeeeatrle Sheets. ,
Most auy ten-year-old youngster can
curve a ball, even though be does not
know why be can do so except that
the leather must be held in a certain
way. Possibly a half doxeu of the
major league tw triers know something
about the science of the curve, but
comparatively few understand why
they can produce their "benders." The
Scientific American gives the follow
ing as the scientific explanation of the
matter:
The pitcher lu the field tells us that
the ball curves because be gives It a
twist, but scientifically this will not do.
Why will the twist make the curve?
If a ball were thrown In a certain di
rection and If the force of gravitation
were not at work the ball would con
tinue on in a straight line forever.
Some force of resistance la then at
work when a ball Is made to deviate In
a curve from Its straight course. It a
feather is dropped In a vacuum in an
exhausted receiver of an air pump It
will drop like a shot, but it it is drop
ped out In the air It will go down ir
regularly., and slowly, shifting from
side to side. '
It la the atmosphere which causes
the ball to curve. : Bearing in mind
that the atmosphere is a compressible,
elastic gas, we find that when the ball
leaves the hand of, the pitcher with a
rapid rotary motion It 'impluges upon
continuous elastic - cushion,' and
this moderate resistance, or friction,
changes its course In the direction
which Is- given to the rotary motion.
Take an outshoot of a right handed
pitcher, for Instance. He Impresses
upon the ball a rapid centrifugal ro
tary motion to the left and -the ball
goes to the left because the atmosphere.
compressible and elastic, Is packed Into
an elastic cushion just ahead -of the
ball by the swift forward and rotary
motion, -find the friction, which Is very
great in front of the ball, steers it In
the direction which It Is turning."
A NOTABLE MEETING.
Held la the latereat of "Weasaa's
W Rights" Ia'lTOl.
The first recorded public meeting In
the Interest of "woman's rights" was
held In the town of Medford, Mass., In
'01. The gallery of the church was
occupied by the young unmarried peo
ple of the congregation, ttne side and
one half the front gallery itelng given
to the young men, the other side and
the other half being given to the young
womcu. But In the seating In this
eventful year the young men were glr
en the entire front of the gallery as
well, and the young women were only
allowed oue side of the gallery.
Then it was that thiugs - began to
happen. Treatment like this wasn't to
be tolerated even for a moment The
blood of the future mothers of the
Revolution was fully aroused, and the
young women made such an uproar
aud commotion that it speedily became
town matter, and a town meeting
was called to restore to tnem meir
rights lu half of the front gallery.
The young men of the day were bit
terly opposed to extending any new
privileges to women, and the fight ex
tended beyond Medford. Shortly after
the introduction of "pucs" into the
churches, by; which families were sep
arated from the remainder of the con
gregation, the selectmen of the town
of Newbury gave permission to a group
of young women to build a "pue" In
the gallery of the church upon their
own side of the house. This extension
of privilege was resented by the young
bachelors to such a degree that tbey
broke a window of the church, forced
an entrance and backed the pew in
pieces. For this act of sacrilege the
young men of Newbury were flued f 10
each and sentenced to be whipped or
pilloried. But tbey were manly enough
to confess their folly and ask pardon,
so this pnrt of their punishment was
omitted. So you aee the "woman s
rights" movement isn't a modern one.-
