t 'Sim fassi::s nan- 8ATTJEDAI. . . Two cases of disorderly conduct in which the offenders were colored were before Mayor McCarthy yesterday af ternoon. They were dismissed upon the - payment of the costs of the cases, : - -; - The two weeks session of Craven Co. superior court which convened in this city on Nov. 20th with i Judge H, W. W bed bee, of Greenville, presiding, has adjourned. Quite a large number of important eases were disposed of at C this term. k " Revenue officers in this district are having all the work that they care to do. During the past few weeks a num ber of offenders against the ; govern ment have been nabbed by the revenue men and bound over to the ntxt term of Federal Court in thia city.1 - - --T Mr. B. B. Davenport had on exhibi tion at his store yesterday a large owl that was shot and captured by Master Roderick Davenport while out hunting on his father's farm in Pamlico county op the previous day, . The bird was one of the largest of its species ever seen by the writer and attracted much atten tion from passersby, Len Laughinghouse, was given a bear ing before the United States Commis sioner at this place yesterday after noon on a warrant charging him with retailing without a government license. Probable cause was found and the de fendant to and over to the next term of Federal court He cave bond for bis appearance and was released. A correspondent at Oriental writes that the town commissioners at that place have purchased a fire-fighting ap paratus and are now putting man alarm syst m. During the past few years that little town has had little or no fire protection and the property owners were compelled to pay enormous rates for fire insurance. Now they will be able to cope with any fire that may oc cur. If the present rate of increase contin ues New Bern can soon boast of having more automobile owners than any other town in the State. It is not definitely known by the writer just how many cars are owned by New Bern people, but if they were all lined up on one of the streets there would be a startling display. Practically every automobile in the city is one of the latest types of the best known manufacturers. Local hunters are warned against be ing careless with fire which ihey start in the woods. During the past few years thousands of dolla.s worth of valuable timber and other property has been destroyed by fires started in this manner and the last Legislature passed some very stringent laws in regards to such acts. It is now a misdemeanor to start a fire, either carelessly or inten tionally, in the woods and a heavy pen' aly is attached. Several of the local merchants who handle fireworks during the Christmas holidays, have already received their ntock of combustibles and have placed them on sale. As usual, the city ordi nance in regard to the discharge of fireworks will not be enforced the day before or Christmas day, This will doubtless be glad news to the hundreds of youngsters who would not, think the occasion properly celebrated unless they were able to make a big noise. SU1TOAT. The Southern Express Co. is furnishing its patrons an attractive little Christ mas label which warns the recipients of packages containing gifts against opening them until that day. In this way packages may be shippei in ad vance and any delay in deliverance be avoided, .-. . - t . A visitor from Beaufort as in the city yesterday and informed the writer that the schooner "L. H. Patrick" which stranded at Cape Lookout last Monday morning had broken op. Much of the 850,000 feet of lumber with which the boat was loaded was saved and will be sold. The crew of the boat are still at Beaufort awaiting the orders of ths owners of the vessel.

PROOF OF GENTILITY. tleavaa That Hid the Hands 8howd the Waarars Didn't Work. Tbe practice observed among Spun lab hidalgos of allowing the finger nails to grow into claws was to dem onstrate that they had never done any manual work. The same custom ex ists among tbe Chinese for the same reason. . . '' . . Among the Romans tbe wearing of lone sleeves, which came down over tbe band, was tbe fashion In aristo cratic circles. This advertised to the world that the Wearer did not engage In any labor and freedom from em ployment . was the condition of re spectability. ; ;, ' - English boots and shoes have been designed more or less for the same purpose as that of the Chinese, who bind tbelr women's feet In proof of their gentility. As early as the time of William Rufns "peaked toed boots and shoes" bsd their points made like a scorpion's tall, and a conrtler nam ed Robert stuffed bis out with tow, snd caused them to curl round In (lie form of a ram's born, a fnahlon wbldi took mlchtllr among the nobles.

No Identity Established, Beaufort, Dec. 4.--A suicide that has put this community entirely at a loss, is the local sensation. Last Thursday noon a pleasant, face gentleman, evi dently a foreigner judging by his bro ken English, registered here at the la let Inn as C Humber. or Homber. He was assigned a room, and took dinner. After dinner he left the Inn saying that he might meet, some friends, and this would keep him out late. This was the last the Inn people heard 6f him until the next day, when his lifeless body was found lying in the mud in a small creek that follows into North river, six miles from here. . - The rest of the story is as follows. Thursday afternoon two colored boys met the Washington man, whj asked the direction to North river. At the scene of the suicide was the story plain ly to be read. Reaching the lonely spot earlv Friday morning, divested himself of overcoat and all outer clothing, then takine some poison from a bottle, he started to reach the water, with the 6V' ident intention of throwing his body in and having the tide carry it to sea. But the tide had started to ebb, and more than this, the stranger became over come by the poison before he could reach the water, falling he crawled on hands and knees until finally overcome he fell on his face in the mud, His body' mieht have been carried out by the next high tide, but discovery followed and the remains were brought here. All name on his clothing was destroyed, The clo'hM appeared to be stock goods ma le in Pittsburg. There was nothing in his satchel except a few papers. and a package marked, funeral expen ses" containing $2.55. Saturday night the body was buried in the cemetery here. Nothing has been so far learned to indentity the man. 'AN ENGLISH PENSIONER. Superannuated at Birth and Drew the Stipend All Hit Life. The wife of an English cabinet min ister hnd promised to stand godmother to an infant and. calling on the parents a day or two previous to the christen ing. expressed her regret that her bus band had nothing left at his disposal of any importance and) that tho only thing he could do for her godson was to put his name on the pension list as a superannuated general postman. The offer was accepted. The pension was regularly paid to the parents dtir ing the minority of their son and to blm afterward as long as he lived. He thrived in the world, became an alder man and attained n considerable age, often declaring that he had more pleas ureln pocketing the few pounds he drew half yearly from this source than he derived from the receipt of any otli er portion of bis income. He died a few days after one pay rupnt was due, and one of his executors came to town to announce bis decease and to receive the money. On asking the clerk who paid him If it was neces sary to produce a certificate of the death he was answered: "Oh, no, not In the least I will take your word for it My father paid his pension as long as be lived, and I have paid It myself for the last thirty years, I am quite sure that tbe old gentleman must be dead by this time." This recipient of the public bounty bad been a superannuated postman for upward of eighty years. Exchange. To Ba a Raal Aotor. , Sinking one's Identity in character parts on the stage is biit an insignifi cant branch of acting. Tbe displaying of a personality beireath the makeup, the Incarnation of a written character in flesh and blood, by a sheer act of genius on the part of the actor In fill ing a part with his own personality tempered to tbe limitations of bis role the creation, In short, of a living, visible and intelligible being, Is the grand goal of the actor's art . How well Richard Mansfield knew that art! In bis performances yon saw an Impenetrable makeup; but though Mansfield was hidden, behind the disguise were the brains of the greatest dramatic genius of our gen eration, fashioning steadily and su perbly a character as be conceived It lout of tbe materials placed at his com mand by tbe playwright Henry Kol ker In National Magazine. .

Rite and Fall of Peter Lyole. ..The Tripoli' of the early nineteenth century .could boast of a fleet And more, tbe fleet could boast of an admi ral, bailing from Scotland. Peter Lycle was his name. When he arrived at Tripoli in 179 be was mere mate of an English vessel. But a nature ava ricious asserted Itself. Be plundered part of the ship's cargo, was suspected and took refuge In the castle. There began bis real career.; He turned Mos lem, married a relative of tbe reigning pasha, and in time became lord high admiral of the fleet . His ambitions did not stop even here, . He did not stick to his fleet lie embarked on a course of piracy, distinguished himself and made enemies. His standing be came undermined. "Poor Peter," com mented an old time traveler, "was no longer an object of consideration with any party." London Globe. Climatlo Variation. There Is plenty of evidence going to show that the "climate of North Amer ica was much wanner than It is now." The remains of the now extinct mam moth, for Instance, which are found all over the continent, and especially in the northern part thereof, prove that a. tropical climate prevailed here at, a very recent date, geologically speaking. There are, of course, other evidences, but the conclusion to be drawn from the mammoth is enough to convince us that where tbe temperate (or colder) climate now is there once prevailed a hot climate, such as the now extinct monsters luxuriated In for centuries, - HIGHEST CASH PRICES PAID For Cattle, Hogs, Poultry, Eggs and Country Produce.

Five Dis- pensarioa Will be Oper- ' ated. Several moths ago the Craven Coun ty Board of Commissioners decided to secure the services of the Hookworm Commission to give those affliced in thia county free of charge. According- the sum of $350 waa . set aside for this purpose. " The Commission offered to send iheir ilyKiVns and assistants here for $50 per week, the sum which was donated by the Board would secure their services for five weeks. Yesterday morning Dr. Strosnider of the State Board of Health and the Hookworm Commission, appeared be fore the Commissioners 'and informed them that he was ready to make prep- erations for the establishment of the dispensaries in this county. After con sidering the matter the Board of Com missioners and the county physicians decided that the five dispensaries would be located as follows, one at each place; New Bern, Vanceboro, Cove City, Have lock,' Rivertiale and Dover. Dr. Stros nider stated that the work at these dU pemiariss would be 'carried on In the following manner. On one day in the week; say - for instance Monday, that treatment would be given at New Bern on tho following day at Cove City and so on until each of the places designated had been visited. Then on the follow ing Monday treatment would again be received at New Bern, patients receiving this treatment absolutely free of charge. The points designated for the dispen sariei are easily accessible and every one who takes the treatment will have but little trouble in reaching the dis pensary nearest to them. During the winter months the hospital tents are not in use, the dispensary be will lo cated either in the schoolhouse or in the rear of some store. Dr. Strosnider stated that he would begin the preliminary work such as ad vertibing and have everything in read iness, within a few days and would open up the dispensaries the first week after Christmas.
