About midnight last night a large force of laborers began the work of extension of the street railway on Wost Martin street, beginning at the pdst-offlce. It has been reported that the work would begin yesterday morn ing. At one time there was a petition signed by certain business men against thja'txtension and some meetings were held in regard to the matter, but for the past six months no opposition worth speaking of had been heard. However, there was a whisper that perhaps some persons might take out an injunction . and prevent the begin ning of work. At all events the street railway pushed the work very rapid ly, and this extension greatly pleases almost every one. The tin will run east a mile, and then turn northward about a quarter of a mile, and near the chapel at the Soldiers Home. , ' The five Teggmen (which Is the 'criminal's term for safe-crackers) who are held In jail here to be tried this month, In the Federal court for post-office robberies, made an attempt to get from their cell, which Is. on the upper tier Into the eft Immediate ly below in-which there are six ne groes. They found A place where the floor of the cell was a little' thin and we're trying to force an opening When ' the discovery was made. This would merely have put them in another cell, I and not at large, but their purpose ev idently was to watch when the attend ' ants went into feed the negro prls--sojaers and 4hen perhaps get upon the deputies from above. 81nce this af fair the Yjeggmen have been very quiet They did thla work in the day time as they are watched every moment at night by special guard. .

ROSE LEAF JELLY DELICIOUS It Adds a Tempting Touch to The Summer Meal Rose leuf Jelly Is a novelty of tbe men.i to serve when summer Is at its height of hisclousness, says the June Designer. It Is made simply by steeping In numerable rose petals on the back of (he stove for hours, or until the water which covers them has absorbed tluir scent and substance. As they become dissolved through lohf slipping, the water should be poured off, again filled with Innumer able petals, and the slow steeping al low! d to co on as at first. At length when the water appears to absorb nothing more it should be strained off through a fine bit of cheese-cloth." To this drawn-off fluid should then be added, sugar in the proportion of one cupful '.to one cup ful of rose-Juipe, which - combination may then be allowed to boll-until it shows signs of congealing. Iu fact, the cooking Is the same as that pursued with currant, or any other simple Jelly. A few drops of the extract of rose Is sometimes ad vantageous to add that the flavor may be Intensified. When through Its own perversity the rose sirup will not "Jell,' lt can be put by in air-tlgbt Jars, and urt later to make Into Jelly by the addi tion of a little dissolved gelatine.

Addresses Large Crowd on Be- , haU of Llqaer Interests Senator SltamoBs's Opinion ef PrehiMUoB Pitospects Will Fight The Cattle Tick. Special Correspondence. Raleigh, N. C May 13. About month ago the street railway people learaed that some persons had plann ed to enjoin them from building the East Martin street extension to the Soldiers Home and that a purse had t raised to employ counsel. For this I reason work was begun very quietly night before last a little before midnight, when 100 men Were marched up. jb tne point where Martin street Intersects with Fayetteville and the excitation for the line began. At the mobjeflt "no one was near, but people soon gathered and many remained all night. A remarkable amount of work has been done since that time and a ver pleasant thing has happened; this being that all opposition to the extension has been withdrawn, for W. A. Wyatt, the chairman of the lomtnlttee which was fighting the ex- ensjon called up the railway people iy r-lephone and congratulated Supt. H. B. Carr, on his work, withdrawing ill Opposition and expressing the hope that he would push the work with tbe Treatest . possible rapidity bo as tc ba.4 the street clear. Tie Raleigh schools are on th point of ending a very successful term this remark applying to the various ooliiges which are so numerous here tt seems probable that tn the near future Raleigh will have another col lege. This Is but proper, as tbe city s the educational center of the State. Last evening the first formal Anti- Proklbition speech was made here, his being at the court house and the peaker being ex-Congressman Thom- is Settle, of Washington. The band if the Third Regiment was used to furnish music and draw the crowd. Most of the work done by the saloon side In this fight has been of the si lent sort, and very few speakers have cared to face audiences of more than two or three persons. In other words a great deal of the argument on this side haa been along the line of what the politicians call "bushwhack." Among today's visitor waa Senator F. M. Simmons, who was seen In the office of State Auditor Dixon. When he was asked what was the outlook for. prohibition majority he replied that the State would be carried by a very handsome majority, provided the fight Is.contlnued and pressed to the very close of the campaign and every thing is done to develop and bring oulj the vote. Auditor Dixon remark ed that this was entirely true, and that if the vote could be gotten out, the majority for prohibition would be at least 75,000. Of course It Is ;olng to be hard to get out the vote, It has been said that a lot of tbe an- I-prohlbltlonists will stay at home on election day, and It Is equally certain that a number of those on the other side will do the same thing, unless every effort is made to bring out the voters. i. The officers and men of the Second Regiment are greatly pleased at the governor's, order that it ahall take the tour'ot duty at tbe grand maneu vers at Cblckamauga. It la under stood that seven companies of this regiment will go to the seacoaat de fense maneuvers at Fort Caswell next month, aa will also five companies of the Third Regiment and two of the First Col.
