Court Proceedings and Commit ment Are All Boat Orar the Wirt ia Texas. St. Louie UctMllU. .A strange tale, having to do with the telephone, a bad boy aud the theft of a gum veudiug machine by the aforesaid bad lx>y. tame to light at Temple, Tex., a few day* since by the arrest of the Imy. During a fire Unit occurred several weeks ago a gum vend* iug machine was stolen from the front of a local drug store. Liberality in treating is what led to the culprit’s downfall, for it war but a snort time until the officers were informed that liar ry Price, a noted bad boy of the town, had more gum than his pockets could hold, aud was dispensing same with reckless prodigality among his followers. It took but a few minute* to run Hurry to earth aud not much longer than that to get a full confession. In fact he got sorry so fast for his misdeeds that he offered to pay for nil the gmu. Wh:tt the last ray or hope was gone, young Price lie came sorry still faster, and an nounced his intention uf plead jng guilty by telephone, Del ton, the county scat, where presides the judf^e of the County Court, being eight miles away. So it was arranged that in order to expedite matters and accelerate his coufiucment that a telephone plea would be accepted. The judge accordingly took up his receiver at the Briton end of the line and accepted the plea of guilty; then by the same medium of commuuicatiou he wsfted back the penalty, thirty days in jail aud $25 fine. King ing off on the Temole line, he called up the Sheriff’* office to notify him that the commitment paper* were rcadv. »nl_i • I.* ... . * •*> ••ism vuiviai, im rang up the snin-rintcndent of the county farm and instructed hint to get rvjtdv to receive a new boarder. That official was a' a distant point im the farm when he got the message through a locat 'phone, which be used to ring up the larm and order his assistant to prepare for the lodger. That worthy re plied that be would, aad so tin word was sent back by 'phone to the superintendent, the sher iff, the couutv judge, to the offi cers at Temple and finally com municated to Price. Thus the whole transaction, which involved the prisoner's liberty for thirty dn> s, was trans acted by 'phone messages. There he will havr time to re flect that gtuu is dear at any price and liberty very sweet. This is the first case so far as known where a prisoner has been virtually telephoned into jail. And it was all done nt the prisoner’s request. inumi i nr arc iWr^imoatuc* of th* Ounu. Lowell, Nov. 24.—We are eu joying a beautiful Thanksgiving day. Services were held at the Presbyterian church and a col lection was taken for the Barium Spring* orphanage. Mr. Otis Springs, Miss Lula Dameron and Misses Bertha and Mabel Leuhardt are spending the day with friends at Mt. Holly.

STREWN WITH BROKEN HOPES. Scatter** Amkltians Hark th* Read ta tk* White House. Kuiu Civ ftur. The loti of the Presidency wai probably not an overwhelming disappointment to Judge Parker, for he could hardly have been under any serious delusion re* Warding his chances of success. itit the way to the great office >5 strewn with the broken hopes aud shattered ambitions of those of his predecessors who had given up tbeir lives to the pursuit of the prize only to lose it in the cud. 4 uv ii94 urKins wuu juuii Jay, who sacrificed hi* prospects by negotiating an unpopular treaty with Great Ilritain. It end* with Thomas 11. Heed, for Mr. Bryan was the leader of a forlorn hope both iu 181*8 and in 1900 and he accented defeat with fortitude. While there were disappointments of aspira tions early in the history of the country, the first case that ap pealed to popular imagination was Hint of Henry Clay, the brilliant "Harry of the West.” Clay was passed over in 1840, because his membership in the Masonic order and his tariff views made him less "available" than William Henry Harmou. Hour years later he secured the nomination only to be defeated by the first Democratic dark horse, James K. Polk. Webster was another leader who was sacrificed to the ex igencies of the popular demand. In 1848 the Whigs deserted their chiefs and went over to the military hero, Gen. Taylor, al though the Massachusetts statesman according to all pre cedents, was entitled to the uominatiou. Again, in 1A52. Webster lost to another soldier, Gett. Winfield Scott, in 1860 Gov. Seward, of New York, was the Republican leader ami the logical choice of hia party. But the know-nothing element caused his defeat and made possible the nomination of Lincoln. salmon F. Chase wax another •nan with a Presidential ambi tion watch was never gratified. He hoped to secure the nomi nation in place of Lincoln in 1801. Defeated at that time, be looked forward four years to the Democratic convention which rejected hiui ar.d named Gov. Seymour. To avenge his defeat his daughter is reported to have indneed Conkling not to fight the decision of the electoral commission awarding Louisi ana's vote to Hayes. For Hr. Tilden had been the real power behind Seymour’s nomination. Thus a grudge over a defeat helped to deprive the Demo cratic candidate in 1876 of his victory. Horace Grecly suc cumbed in 1872 under bis crush ing defeat and died a few days after the election. Blaine wm defeated for the nomination in 1876 by the cut ting off of the gas from the con vention hall, which thus com pelled an adjournment over night and gave his opponents time to arrange a winning com bination. Ilis loss of the Presi dency, eight years later, due to the Burchard indiscretion, left him a broken man. The brilliant Reed hoped for the nomination in 1896, but it went to hit more astute adversary. The acquisition of the Philip pines alienated him from his party and finally forced bit with drawal from political life. Theodore Roosevelt i» one of the very few brilliant party leaders since the time ol the Virginia dynasty whose long term of pnblic service has been rounded ont with an election to the Presidency.

The shoot ing look place iu front of the store of the dead man, on Main street, iu the business section of the city. Both men had been running music store* aud were well known business men iu Dur ham. J. S. Murray, the dead 'nun, was a prominent Mason, W. K. Murray, who did the fe tal shooting, is a charter mem ber of the local lodge of Elks aud is a biothrr-iu-law of I. E. Kinersou, of Baltimore, Md., the millionaire owner of flrorao Seltzer. Early this morning J. S. Mur ray was preparing to ship a pi ano, and lie accused a salesman of \V. R. Mnrray of watching and prying iuto his businesa for the pnrtiose of trying to thwart the trarl!» W. R. Murray heard that his salesman had been so accused sod, accompanied by bis son, Mr. Earle Murray, he went to tbe store of his uncle, which is about half a block from his own place of business. At tbe door he was met by J. S Murray. A short, Vilter quarrel fol lowed and J. S. Murray pulled his revolver and begau shooting at W. R. and Earle Murray, the three bullets fired all taking cf feet on Earle, in the hand, arm and thigh. W. R. Murray, a powerful man, closed iu on bis assailant, and, taking the re volver from him, shot him, tbe bn I let entering just to the right of tbe breast and ranging up ward, and to the left, severing an artery. The wounded man fell and was taken into his store, where he expired withiu a few min utes, without having spoken a word after he was wounded. Death resulted from blood sLrangnlation. W. R. Murray was arrested and will remain in custody until 3 o’clock this afternoon, when the inquest will be held, and when it is probable that he will lie allowed ball. There had been bad blood be tween the men for several years, and some people express no surprise at the tragedy. The men had fought once over a similar matter. Tbe affair has created one of the most intense sensations Durham has known for a loag time. DflTC rsflkt Sillie Tha Customary Tkaaktftlyiuf Visit to Cooaty Boa* Made— Nows Notes and Paroonola.

TOO MUCH UOLY fUIW1TU1E. PtfMa VtfMr Mtksa a Telling Paint Against ana Aaarlcnn EvlL Chk wo Jojrnll Par sou Wagner, who has come to tell U that are ought to lead simple a lives, is fighting a losing battle, becanse be it eoni batmg human appetites, which grow by wbat they feed on and become stronger in proportion •• civilization finds new means to pamper them. It may be desirable, but it is useless ito ,■* that we should lie better oft if we preferred mutton and turnips to French sauces aod foie gras with trufiles, nod if wc drank spring water instead of Chateau Yqucni and cham pagne. But there is one piece of advice he gives us that there ia a chance we may heed, becanse the practice against which he protests gratifies mi humao de sire and is obviously wasteful tad absurd. This is bis advice not to throw money away nu superfluities of fnrniture. Ooe does oot realize what an excess of furniture the average American home contains until be looks around with the idea iu hit mind. Much of it u absolutely use less. always ugly, and often in •hocking bad taste. 'Uapccially j* *»* of the furniture found in the homes of people of moderate means, bought cheap, sod precisely the same in all of a hundred thousand houses. The result is tbst the average interior is not only an eyesore to persons of cultivated taste, bat is io crowded aud Uttered op with veneered monstrosities that it is cxasperatingly difficult to navigate. If a third of it bad never been acquired the house hold would be healthier, hap pier, and much more comfort able. Sensible people who desire to gel all they can out of Ufe will carry as little impediments as possible ou the journey. A* one of the richest women in Chicago was heard to say when she closed her great mansion and discharged most of her ser vants to move into a compara-, lively modest fiat: *If I could have my way, I would own nothing but a bank accouut and a traveling bag; aod the smaller the bag and the bigger the bank account the better I should like it.” non lUTHEtrOIB COLLEGE.
