A show never presented a more gorgeous pageant. We visited the grounds Inter on a lii'- liieMs errand and agiln met a surprise. The show is absolu'.oiy new throughout, and covers not only the en tire show lots, but all the streets sur rounding them. The tents at the after uoon performance were packed with vis itors, and the circus program for no velty, great features, comedy and real refinement excels anything Sin Fran cisco has seen hi' many years.

' Itennes, France, September 2 Major Hartmann, of' the artillery, continued his testimony in favor of Dreyfus. I! was largely technical. Hartmauu testified this morning that Germany did not ive the hyctiuo! brake after 1893. Coon admitted opening i'ictiiian's letters, but claimed tnht only uspictrd ones were opened. Piciiuart declared tnht all of his let ters were opend. The witnesses treat ed largely of techiiie.il mattT. Prof. Havel made a new and Interest ing anoilysis of the bordereau from a literary standpoint and. showed a de fective its French. It continued several "light peculiarities common to foreign ers, nnri rare to native Frenchmen. The witness litid exaniim-d many of Prey-fiw letters and never discovered one in which these pecuiinritieH occur red, but they are found in Ksterhnscy's nTitings. M. Comely, the Renmw orresponiTeiit of Figaro, says the tiltt'tllde of tln judges is only assumed. Tin y only op posed Dreyfus in court in de'i-rciic (n the generals. PREDICTS CONVICTION. Paris, Sentcmlier 2. Paul d- ( s siignao this morning for the tlrst Line expressed the opinion that Drvydi would be convictedl He bases his opinion on the iiumliei- and weight of the moral presumptions which ine Iricnbly involve tine' accused. 'I he opinion is important from the .act that Cassagnao was the first to denoimiv the illegality of the first trial. Figaro says that several conspirators are now under arrest, and have made confessions regarding a plot agiinst the Stnte. , .. 1 SHOT A THIEP Mr. James Boylaa Put a I oad of Bird Shot in a Chicken Thief. Two chicken- thieves got a warn dose at the home of Mr. James Boylau last night in the western suburbs. Mr. Boylau heard a notae in his chicken house between 2 and 3 o'clock. Only a lew weeks since he lost twenty tine fowls, so he thought that the thief hud probably returned. He got his gnu and went into the shadow of his I).-in and waited. One of the thieves soon came out, and when he got about ninety feet away Mr. Boylan let him have two load's of No. 5 bird idiot in tile back. It is needless to say thut the fellow, made tracks. However, before he w as out of sight, and Mr. Boylau had not reloaded his gun, wtucn another would-be-thief sprang up from close to where Mr. Boylau was landing and took to his heels. WHY EVERY CITY SHOULD CON TROL. ITS OWN WATER SUP PLY. From the New York Sun, Aug. 30. Water is a natural product. The methods of impounding and of trans porting it are substantially the same now an they were centuries ago, when the aqueducts were constructed. Water works, reservoirs and dams are a per manent investment. Those constructed by New York are available assets of the t-iyt, and as the city increases the demand for water increases likewise. A substitute for one form of illumina tion may be -found In another; a substi tute for one method of 'raetion or pro pulsion may be found superior to the one iu use, but water, always the same, is always iu demand. . The second reason Tor municipal control of water supply in New York is equally clear and valid. The water used is paid for by taaf ionx. Those using water are directly taxed fur it, and it is a proper and wholesome exer cise of government power that taxa tion for a utility, " which is in fact a necessity, should be at minimum cost. From' 1843, when the Croton water was introduced into this -city, until the pres ent, water has been furnished by the city "at cost", : Had control of the supply been in the hand of ,a private corporation the protita made from It would have bee considerable, and they woulii have been collected in taxation. Watdr would have cost more than it does now. ' Lastly, it Ut essential for 'the weM being of a city, for Its sanitary health, for the prosecution of the business of Its Inhabitants and for their preserva tion against conflagration, that be con trol of the fadlitie for getting and supplying water should not be in the hands of private individuals, hot In those of the whole people, . - " 1 Mis Cecelia Foster has tone os-a visit to Franklintoo, ifendenvm , and Oxford. " . ONE DEATH. . Yellow Fever Again Makitj Its Ap- J pea ranee at New Orleans. I New Orleans, La., September 2.

Case Against Mr. Tal Murray and Mr. Vlctoor Moore Sent to Court Mr. T. H. Murray and Mr. Victor Moore were araigned before .lust ice of tlie Pence Marcom this morning for affray.

The witnesses examined were Capt. Howell, Mr. Pescud and Mr. Everett Betts. Mr. Moore made a statement, sayiii). that Mr, Murray's tisrt grazed his head and he struck back, and seeing Mr. Murray reach for his hip pocket he began "weeding at him" with his um brella. Mr. Murray said that he did not have a hip pocket, and did nut take out his knife until he was being held.

ALDERMAMC ECHOES What People are Saying About the Aldermen. Tlie session of the board of aldermen last night occasioned considerable street gossip today. The change in the hour for chwing the saloons to 12 o'clock was one topic. "The change can do no harm," said one gentleman, 'and I favor it mainly for two reasons; tl) the audience at the various shows here are annoyed by a stampede of men and boys from tha hall during the last act in order to get out before the saloons close; (2) it is an accommodation to the show people and strangers in the city who are not familiar with the regulations here, also there is no reason why the bars' should not stay open as long every night as they do Saturday night." I'll just tell you what it has come to," said a prominent business man who lias strong convictions on the subject, "there is one difference between a dis pensary town and a license town. Iu the former the town owns the whiskey and in the latter whiskey owns the town." The action of the board in making a $rU0 appropriation to the Building Com mittee, of which Alderman H. H. Crocker is chairman, is universally com mended. Before Mr. Crocker became chairman this committee uniounted to nothing and even Ulie hnpTOvements in the City Hall, were done by other committees. Under Mr. Crock er's management this committee will be of benefit to the city. The selection of Mr. Maxwell Gorman as alderman, from the Fourth is good. The Times-Visitor commends Mr. Gor man's patriotism iu accepting a place where he will receive no pay and much inevitable criticism, and congratulates the city on its new father. UNFINISHED. rutiuislied! 'tis an echo still That haunts us at our daily task; Sometimes we do not know God's will, Sometimes we do not dare to ask. Mayhap what seems so incomplete Is finished iu the thought divine, While self-wrought work, laid at His feet, Is but an ill begun design. I There is 110 "broken hour" to God, No "interruption" in His plan, And if we take the path He trod We find revealed His will for man We live not to be satisfied. Nor iu our wishes to be blest; Only to know His love so wide, To hold His hand and be at rest. Tlie worth of time lies not. in doing The duties solf-imposedv nor yet The earnest, strong and brave pusu ing Of some great purpose, onward set; The plan rechnngvd, the thought unsaid. The word ungiven in its need, The way that easier seemed instead. All help to make our pryers and creed. And when at last our hands we lay n one last effort on onr breast. And friends, with sorrowing hearts, shall say, "His work is done; now he may rest," May God forbid that angel eye Shall find among our life deeds strown One thought that shall unfinished lie When God shall reckon up his own.

The club plan alone brr been the means of bringing in 594 members since June 1st. The Grand Secretary left yesterday afternoon for Henrietta. He will visit Shelby and other adjacent points While up there. There is talk of an Odd Fellows' picnic at Kings Mountain iext week, in which six or more lodges will partici pate. .i Manteo, No. 8, has elected Its second club of twelve, and has applied for a dispensation. The Orphan Home seems to be rapid ly filling. It is both providential and fortunate that the order is on the in crease in the State. Don't croak and growl about what others are doing. If they are doing something it is very likely doing better than you can do by croaking. Anything before a chronic fault- tiiiAler. His onlyi aatfafaction is in rummaging the vld garbage and getting up bad odors. Odd Fellowship is a live, progressive organization; it never stops to question whether this little matter suited Noah or that one was th eideal of old Ba rneses. Does it meet the needs of hu manity is all for us to answer. Speak to the man in the ditch. He needs help; he needs comfort; he needs just what you can afford to give. When you run after the millionaire in order to get a nod or a how-dw-you-do, thinking you are honored thereby, it is time and energy wasted. Put your smiles ami your energies where some soul can appreciate them. (Kid Fellowship condemns no man for his honest convictions. If leaves men to their inner consciousness, and their right of investigation to arrive at a correct solution of any intricate prob lem. The Christian world has condemn ed to eternal perdition, so far as it can do so, the spirit of Ingersoll, who but recently passed away. The world may le right in its judgment, if such right it has, but there is a higher power in whose judgment there is wisdom, and from which there is no appeal. Let ns leave it with that power to decide and not condemn too hastily. Time may ' reveal that Ingersoll was misunder stood. That he only had a better and clever idea of what we should be than we have. That his view was from a much higher eminence than ours and hence we failed to reach It or to un derstand it. We don't know. It is so in many other cases. Because we can not understand another's thoughts simply we ought not to Condemn. AS SEEN BY PRITCHARD. Senator J. C. Pritchard, of North Carolina, who is at the Ebbirt, on being questioned by a Post reporter as 1o the condition of affairs in his State, answer ed: "The people of North Carolina are In better shape to-day than they have Hen in many years. In some parts of the State owing to lack of rains the crops are short, but in other sections they are excellent, and the farmers are get ting very remunerative prices for their products. They are beginning, more over, to recognize the advantage of di versified fnrming, and of raismir Ibeir bread and meat supplies at home. The lumber industry is a big thing down our way and that is in an especially flourishing condition. "Politically we are quiet, although there is some agitation of the franchise amendment to the constitution to be voted upon next August, at which time all our State officers are to lie eleuted. The amendment on the fnce of It pro poses and educational qualification for suffrage, and the payment of 9 poll ta as a pre-requisite to voting. I hope and believe it will be voted down, for although it is a Democratic measure, many Democrats see that it involves se rious danger to the white voters as well as the blacks, and that if it should be adopted many whites may be disfran chised. It is patterned after the Louis negro suffrage. The Illiteracy of tBe iana plan, and, of course, the advocates of the amendment intend to restrict State, which is ybno means confined to the blacks, is largely the fault of the varous Democratic administrations, which have not given the people the proper educational facailUies. "The administration of President Mo Kmley is well liked among North v Carolina Republicans. I do not think rhere is the slightest doubt ot his re nomination and re-election. The Demo-' crats will name Mr. Bryan, who la weaker by far. now than ns was In 1890, and whose weakness - will be practically demonstrated at the polls fn 1000." Washington Post.
