A Great Play Coming.
The more than ordinary ii Wre
aroused in the coming of Creston Clarke
and his marvelously beautiful produc
tion of "Beaucaire". is a sure indica
tion of the trend of theatrical thought
and goes far to prove that a cordially
: welcome star in conjunction v. ith a
great play may be countfd. upon to
-captivate or please, especially those
who are familiar with or nave heard of
the great triumphs of Creston Clarke
in this beautiful comedy romance
throughout the entire country last sea
son. A more absorbing play, a more
gorgeous or elaborate production and a
greater interpreter of the title role
than "Beaucaire" wi h Creston Clarke
at the head of the ca it and with a pro
duction such as Jul js Murry is famed
for it is impossible t) imagine. .

ed at the interview which Congressman
Spencer Blackburn, himself, and others
had with. President Roosevelt at the

WANTED BREAD.
Two Burclart Gel Into Kafer'a Bakery and
Get Out.
Shortly after 11 o'clock Sunday nieht
Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Kafer who live!
over their bakery were awakened by
some one calling to them from the
street Mrs. Kafer inquired what was
wanted and she was told that there
were two men in the store. Mr. Kafer
went below and searched the store and
bake room but found no person, urjon
returning to the store he found the
front door open. There being no door
nor window open except the front store
door it is natural to suspect that the
lock was picked or that the burehrs
had keys to fit the lock as thero was
no sign of an attempt to force the
lock. ' , ' -v-
Nothing was stolen, but there was a
five gallon can of lard wrapped in a
paper found on the floor. It is quite
likely that the burglars had taken it
but in their hurry to get away dropped
it. The dog smelled mischief and ner
vously went around the room balking
and whining and it is supposed that the
noise made by the animal was what
first frightened the intruders off,
Eig Ruta Cajars and Big Crop

February, New Fire Insurance
Company. " r. , '
Raleigh, Dec. 18. -The revenue of
ficers were extraordinarily ctive last
Saturday night. No ' less, than four
parties, two in each, , going out from
Raleigh accompanied by severaTdeputy
marshals. Only one of the party had
any luck, this- one seizing a large illicit
distillery in Franklin county, not far
from the Wake line. There were no
very exciting adventures, but the
weather was rough and cold enough to
make up for this.
; A charter is granted the North Caro
lina Oil Company with headquarters at
High Point, to produce and manufacture
petroleum and its products, W. M.
Egelston of Baltimore being the princi
pal stockholder. ' This company has
power to drill for oil anywhere in the
State where it may acquire property.
From time to time there has been talk
of boring for oil here and there, but
nothing has been done, though it is
claimed there is oil in Chatham and
Moore counties and points, not far from
Greensboro. , - '; V
A charter is also granteij the Packo
let Mills Farm Company, of Lynn, Polk
county, Henry Hellman of New York
being the principal stockholder.
Today the ', committee appointed by
the legislature to examine the books,
vouchers etc., in the offices of the
State Treasurer and Auditor began its

Insurance ' Commissioner Young re
ports that . returns to him . from one
t?wn in the State show that there were
fourteen fives, of which , four were
caused by defective flues, two by badly
arranged stovepipes, three from hot
ashes, and two from stoves too close to
woodwork, thus making eleven but of
the fourteen fires preventable, by the
enforcement of the fire-waste law or
building law. Insurance dommiBsioner
Young calls the attention of the people
of the State to this striking illustration
of carelessness. He says that 26ptr
cent of all the fires in North Carolina
are caused by defective flues. ; . ',.
The Insurance Commissioner will go
to Chicago February 1st to attend the
meeting of the commissioners of the
various States, who are to confer in
regard to the development during the
now famous investigation of insurance
companies and their methods of doing
business which is in progress in New
York. The commissioners will consult
as to what shall be done about these
disclosures and will also endeavor to se
cure the enactment by their respective
States of uniform laws upon insurance,
designed to stop the sort of business
and which bas been done in New York,
The meeting is felt to be of very great
importance.
The Insurance Commissioner is in
formed that Rocky Mount a new fire
insurance will belaunrhed early in Jan
uary. As yet he has not received any
details concerning it, and the name, it
seems has not yet been chosen.

thank God that a friend recommended
Cuticura Soap and Ointment to me. I
suffered for a long time with sores on
my face and back. Some doctors said
I had blood poison, and others that I
had barbers' itch. None of them did
me any good, but they all took my
money. My friends tell me my skin
now looks as clear as a baby's, and I
tell them all that Cuticura Soap and
Ointment did it." .

Mr. H. T. Spalding of 104 W. io.k

years my neck was covered with sores,
the disease spreading to my hair,
which fell out, leaving an unsightly
bald spot, and the soreness, inflam

me wild. After a few applications of
Cuticura the torment subsided, the
sores disappeared, and my hair grew
thick and healthy as ever."
AND STILL ANOTHER :
" For over thirty years 1 suffered

TREMENDOUS CKICACO FAILURE
Three Great Flranclal Institutions Close
r-
Their Doo:C Depositors To Be
Protected.
Chicago, Dec. 18. The failure of the
Chicago National Bank, the Home Sav
ings Bank and the Equitable Trust
Company was announced this morning
by reprentatives of the Chicago Clear
ing House Association, after a session
lasting eighteen hours. The assets of
the institutions, it was asserted, were
involved in the coal and railroad prop
erties of John R. Walsh, president of
the Chicago National Bank. The de
positors will be protected by the Clear
ing House Association.
After a careful investigation of the
affairs of the three institutions by the
Clearing House Association shows that
all of the depositors will be paid in full
upon demand of the clearing house, the
banks having pledged themselves to
this result, thus , putting all the re
sources of Chicago banks behind the
depositors' of the three institutions.
The difficulty of the institutions isthat
heir assets are tied up with the en
terprises of John R. Walsh, who is the
head of all three, and these assets are
not immediately available to meet the
deposits. The assets have been taken
over on terms which will enable the
institutions to pay in full. The Chicago
National Bank has $18,000,000 of public
monies deposited with it The bank
was organized in 1881 and has re
sources of $21,000,000.

many points and strong patrols are
stationed everywhere.
Tlia ttinvIfinirmAn'a riulairafaa have

He has adopted the plan of preventing
the workingmen from holding a con
ference. A general revolt of the army
is expected. An incident which oc
curred yesterday shows that the Pree
brajensky regiment is reported discon
tented is still loyal. The regiment
was reviewed by the Czar, who ap
peared carrying his young son in his
arms. The soldiers manifested the
greatest enthusiasm over the monarch
and heir, thus disapproving the reporta
of their dissatisfaction.' -
