The morchants here are jubilant over the line Christmas trade. At first they did not think that it would be so good ns usual owing to the low price of cotton, but when figures of last year's sales and this ygSr'B for the Christmas trado- were compared it was found that there was an increase in favor of this year. . , Lust Saturday night there were Only a few homes thrown open to receive New Year's callers, but at each of these places the fortunule callers .were received by a body of liuleigh's fair daughters, and others from different places and States. This fashion of New Yenr's calls is a beautiful one, and it is to be regretted that it i: so fast going out of style. It will be a subject of thankfulness to many that the affairs of the Park Ilotel here will be under the control directly of the Pnge Lumber Company which com pany owns the hotel. The management or rather mismanagement of the past 15 months have been very serious, but now the friends of the .hotel look for much better timed. , Sheriff Jones of this county was given the tax books September 7th, and up to January 1st had collected $75,325.41. Oil the books were $111,061.19. That leaves 135,735.78 taxes still due. Of this the country people owe 8,900. The amount collected is apportioned us follows: State Fund, $18,801.92; School fund $20,089.38 county fund $21,149.25! Graded school fund, $9,917.68; board fund $4.297.15. , In the returns from schedule J. tax for Wake county the purchases by mer chants for various articles amounts to $17.50 per capita to the population of the county. This shows that Mils couuty makes larger purchases to the population thun any county in the State. The county population is about 0,000. Governor Russell and chairman Dock- ery of the penitentiary board accompa nied J. M. Mewborne tbe new superin tendent to the penitentiary Saturday. Bishop Cheshire last night preached the third sermon in the course, on the apostolic Fathers at the Good Shepherd church his subject being "Ignatius." The papers in the appeal to tue'United States Supreme Ccurt from the old rail road commissioners, Messrs J. W. Wil son and S, O. Wilson,' are all prepared and will, be ready to be sent, on this week. The Ministering Circle of King's Daughters are to give a "bal poudre" on the night of January 11th to raise money for their charity work. The Alliance shoe factory at Hillsboro Is at last at work, and puts out 50 pairs women's shoes daily. The machinery for men's shoes will be in working order in a short time. Native labor is being employed. Traveling agents will be sent out on the road soon. The Board of Health has ordered three new Farmalin disinfectors. These are to be used where there have been con tagious diseases. , Mayor Ituss has received several let ters, one from California, asking if the new city bonds are gold bearing. Telephonic communications will be established between here aud Uoldsboro within the next two weeks. The health record of Raleigh for De cember is a specially fine one, In look ing back over the records it is shown that there were in 1896 307 deulhs, aud in 1897, 218. All the schools here opened for the spring term today. The weather has been and still ib very cold, but it is clear. No further steps have been taken as to the beginning of the shirt factory at the penitentiary by convict labor. Work was to have been started this week. Many cases argued before the Supreme Court last term have to go over to the one which begins February 3rd, for there was so much argument by attorneys that the judges had no time to write opinions. While . G. Duncan was here on Sat urday and Sunday he had many appli cants for positions as stamp clerks and deputies, but but few applicants for clerkships. February 7th will be devoted by the Supreme Court to the examination of applicants to practice law. Return ol Purchases ! Offiob op Register of Peers, of Craven County, i" New Berne. N.

Columbus, Ohio, January 3 The Sena torial aspirations of Mark Manna have received a set-back. His followers are panic stricken as a result of the lirst test of strcnth. The candidate of the Hauna party for speaker, Mr, Boxwcll, was defeated by a majority of three votes. Gen. Grosvenor has felt ceitain that (Boxwell would be chosen. He claims that Hanna is stronger than the defeated candidate for Speaker, but bis followers are in a state of disor der. Hanna may be withdrawn from the Ohio senatorial race and Wm. R. Day, of Canton, assistant secretary of State and President McKinley's trusted friend may be substituted for htm. This move would be taken only in-order to prevent a hopeless split among Ohio Republi cans. . Park Ilotel I.rnatil. Special to Journal.1 Raleigh, N, U., January 3.

The director of the mint, from information now at hand says there is substantial evidence that the world's product of gold for the calendar year 1807 will approximate, if not exceed $240,000,000, an Increase of nearly 20 per cent over 1896. The gold product of the United States for 1896 was 958,100,000; for 1897 it will approximate 61,500,000, an increase of $3,400,000. Bucklen't Arnica Salves.

Secretary Sher man to Remain. Political Opinion on Maryland Kpnatorshlp. JOUKN'AI. BUIIEAD, 1 Washington. I). C Jan. 3. Congress will reassemble on Wednes day with as much uncertainly as to what will be accomplished this year as existed on the first day of the session, nearly a month ago. Instead of bringing the Senators and Representatives closer to gether, the holiday recess lias served to accentuate their differences and to show how very far apart they are upon almost cveT subject upon which legislation will be attempted. The extreme gold stand ard Republicans arc insisting that the party must put legislation through the House, in which they have a majority that will Drove the sincerity of the parly towards the gold standard; the Republi can silver Senators are talking of the cer tainty of a big parly defection if this ad vice is followed, and the conservative Republicans are trying to get the con sent of their radical colleagues to a pro gramme that will either let finance alone entirely or only include some measure that can be supported by all members of the party. The Democrats and Popu lists, having declared themselves in cau cus to be opposed to all the financial recommendations of President McKinley and Secretary Gage, arc now merely watching their opponents and waiting for them to try to do something. It has been suggested by those who favor making public the pension rolls but are not certain as to whether they wili support the bill authorizing the gov ernment to print it, because of the money it will cost about $300,000 that it would be cheaper and would place the names before many more people if the list of pensioners of each county were published in the newspapers of that county. Whether this plan would be cheaper is a matter of doubt, as Con ress as a body would hardly have the nerve to ask the press of the country to perform such service without compensa tion, however much individual Congress men may impose upon the generosity of individual publishers, but there cau be no doubt about its being the best way to got the list before the pnbli . Every intelligent man reads the newspapers. while ouly those who have some particu lar reason therefor would take the trouble to even glance at the contents of twelve or fifteen ponderous volumes, even were they placed where access to them would be easv. Secretary Sherman has again denied the truth of the report revived for about the 100th time that he intended resign ing. His friends say that his health is as good as it has been at any time during the lust live years, and that unless it gets worse, lie will remain at the head of the Department of State during this administration. The 'politicians' iu Washington think that the withdrawal of Gov. Lowndes, as a candidate for the Semite irom Mary land, lu favor of Judge McComas, has made the latter's election as Senator Gorman's successor very probable. Their opinion is strengthened by the under- standing that the influence of the ad ministration is also being exerted in favor of Judge McComas. FK7DER Absolutely Pure For 1898.
