"What do you do for a living?" de manded Dure Kane from his seat in a chair at the table in front of Mayor Powell's desk. The girl hesitated and the persistent attorney again hurled the question at her "What do you do for a living?" "You know whnt you asked me," hurled back the witness. Dave rose and walked1 quickly up to the witness box and demanded what she meant. The girl related her former statement. Hardly were the words out of her mouth when Dave slapped her in the face.

Kaiser Withelm has offered Thomas Lipton his yacht "Meteor" to sail on the trial trips in place of the "Britannia."

EVIDENCE READY. Insurance Commissioner Young today prepared the evidence in, the Wilson In cendiary fire case. There have been about eight incendiary fires at Wijson in the past four or five months. The insurance commissioner is making an in vestigation, as he is required to do un der the new law. As a result of the investigation by ComuiisMon James R. Young J. R, Brooks and W. D. Cooper, a firm of furniture dealers of W'ilson. were placed under arrest Wednesday. The evidence seems strong against them that they ftet tire to their store to get the insnrnne.

A pres cnfofficinl in close touch with Presi dent Cnssntt of the Pennsylvania Rail road' today denied the published state ment that the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central has entered into n coniact whereby the two systems will become practically one. This offi cial said that the story was too absurd to need contradiction. There had never been a thought of consolidating the sys tems. The relations of the two compa nies are pleusant, but, as the Pennsyl vania is competing with the New York Central for western traffic, their inter ests nre not compatible, and consequent ly consolidation or amalgamation is out of the question. He added that Presi dent Oassatt simply made a personal call on President. Calloway of the New York Central, the day of the directors meeting, but was not present at the meeting. WOMAN. When a girl gets married the women inquire "how her mother took it," as though it was a funeral. A wedding isn't perfectly satisfactory to the women unless it costs so much they can abuse somebody afterwards for spending so much. A woman has few friends who do not wonder, when her engagement is an nounced, if she used hypnotism. The world is getting easier for the women. 'I hey can buy everything eook- d, everything ready-made, and men are leeoming more subdued every day. An Atchison woman is so fond of writ ing notes that she sends one upstairs to her husband to tell him that breakfast Is ready . An Atchison woman gave a party re cently at which there wa to he no gos sip or .criticism of any one else. The guests left at nine o'clock in order to talk nlxiut the hostess at the next cor ner. Another old girl in town has joined the Pit-a-Pat society. This society's mem- liers are women whose hearts act strangely at the approach of a man. Atchison Globe. OCCASIONAL SHOWERS.

Chairman Correll says that he fimU all the fire companies houses, except the Rescue house, in first class condition'. Raleigh, without doubt, has the best volunteer fire department in the State. The citizens arc justly proud of the de partment. Its continued excellence is due in no small measure to Chief Mah ler, assistant Woollcott and the members of the companies. INCONCKl VAivi.r; ACRIMONY. We do not undertake to analyze the false and villinnons concert of detraction aimed at Secretary Alger ami maintain ed for more than a year past with sleep less industry. Enough for us to know that it lias been inspired by an inconceiv able acrimony and kept alive through agencies of ignorance and prejudice and credulity that are as much out of place in this civilized era as the lsiomerang and the catapult would lie in modern warfare. We liojie, for the sake of the common race and country that those whon have engag-d in this astounding infamy will live to be ashamed of It. Washington Post. TONE OF MARKETS. CLOSING QUOTATIONS.

One of Cleveland's sudi'":i ri, h citizens credited with a nui'iUr of Mnlnprop isms that would have filled Brinsley Sheridan's dear old hid.v with profound envy.

"I supjiose he wears them," said the sudden-rich man in a parofonndly saga cious tone, "to give himself a more ma tronly look!" Our hero saw Julia Harlowe as Rosa lind and came away from the opera house quite delighted. On the street car a friend asked him how he liked the perf ormiince. "It was splendid," he answered. Then he wisely added: "What a pity it is that that man didn't write some more plnys!" Cleveland Plain Dealer. RALEIQH STOCK MARKET. Qi otkii By Qkimks and Vass. Rai.rioh, July 7, 1809 BONDS.
