New York, Oct.l8.-r-'A model mo ther" is the eulogistic characterization given today by her many friends in this city of Mrs. John Jacob Astor, who is at present demoting herself to the welfare of her young son at the beauti ful Force country home near Bernards' ville, N. J. So beneficial has the out door life there heen found to the $3,000, 000 heir, of the heroic victim of the Titantic disaster' that Mrs, Astor. has decided to remain a fortnight longer than she oringially planned. She will not open the famous Astor city home at 840 Fifth avenue until -November. : ;, '. Baby John Jacob Astor, who is now 2 months old, is waxing plump and lusty on the ozone and pure milk that are the proudest boasts of Bernards- viiie.5 v -;-'vM :'.l ' . The young ; widow,-" who nurses the baby and gives personal attention to all his wants, is said ' to be very' happy, She is rearing John Jacob as an outdoor baby, and those who have watched her say that she has adopted very sensible ideas for his comfort. They - gave hearty approval when she vetoed the suggestion to make the young heir to millions a bottle-fed baby. . " . Of course, there are nurses, but young Mrs. Astor outlines the daily program for her son, and during the daylight hours she supervises .every-, details At night she rests as : much as possible, and is rapidly recovering her own strength and health., i ' A HERO AND HIS WIFE. 2 . Baltimore-Sun. She is a good housekeeper, you know; and she might scold . me if-she found the room not in the best order." Thus Colonel RooseVelt, the hero of San Juan and thestalwart leader of a ' grand army of progressive and : ag gressive warriors, to the doctors -and the trained nurse on'the eve odf a lay's visit. 'That lady was not a queen, but she-is a monarch, and Colonel Roose velt like a 'Small culprit of youthful age who has been in the jam closet, and hears the mother coming, hastens to set things' to right, .to escape the Censure, of his wifely eye. t. The-Colonel is still a boy in many respects, and we imagine that his "housekeeping," like that of most boys,,. would not escape the criticism of a careful feminine observec. His anxiety to put things shipshape be fore the real "leader-, appeared seems to indicate that even the mos trucu lent ot chiettains recognizes a. power behind the throne. The Colonel is a good "scolder" himself when he gets ready, but even he has to admit the quiet but majestic domination of the angel of the house. And, between our selves, there are many other grown boys besides the Colonel who make a mighty show of bravado before the pul !.'c, but hate" K'e smoke to l;;e their I ;,: e lady catth them ?'- -'y houwWrt-!", and read tl"i tre I. ft -ire tan-, .r to tt.cm trotn t:- r ':;-tt..rs.

Hackburn's - two- stores oh Pollock street-were yesterday in the hands of the decorators and today their appear ance will be much more attractive than in some time.

A c" T Directors of This Part of Fair Ate Mora Than Pleased With : , ' v - Enthusiasm Shown MANY ENTRIES ALREADY MADE Including Local Persona and Those From Nearby Towns and ' Rural Districts - -. The directors of the, "Horse Show' attraction, for the coming Fair are more than gratified with the marked enthu stas'm displayed by the public, demon strating as it does by the many entries that have been made in the several different contests) that this particular feature appeals strongly to them; most particularly - the children pony riding and, driving event, and the contest of riding and driving by both ladies and gentlemen, ' v ' ' , ' These entries include both local parties and many from nearby cities and' Surburban districts; a full list pf which will be published in these columns oa Tuesday next. - - . .All those who anticipate competing and have not already entered are es pecially requested by the committee to do so not latte.r than Monday the 21st so that the first entry list may be a creditable one. An evidence ol the interest that is being aroosed in the Horse Show is the fact that it is not an infrequent sight to see men and -women ,boys and girls riding horseback, getting better ac quainted with their mounts, improving their horsemanship and in general culti vating their chances for carrying off the much' coveted blue ribbon. Individuals wishing to enter are re quested to mail their entry blanks duly signed, or advise with Miss Nettie Fowler or' Mr. A. 0. Newberry for further information. CURRENT EVENTS CLUB HOLDS MEETING. At a meetine of the. Current Events Club held yesterday afternoon, , Mrs. N. H. Street resigned as chairman and Mrs. H. B. Holland as secretary. Mrs. S. H.

Scott. N. H." Street, Benjamin Moore," Ernest Wood, John Davis and Miss Nina Basnight. . It was decided to be represented by float in the parade which is to be a feature of the Fair and to have the auto mobile, the , use of which has been tendered bv, one of the club members. decorated by the official decorators of the Fair". . Hereafter, according to action taken yesterday, the Current Events Club will hold its meetings 'at the homes'of members instead of in the rooms of the Woman's Club, this change being made because of the"fact that the facili ties forv serving refreshments areo much better at private homes than n the club rooms. ( y 1 ; FA TO and November 1st, 1912 - . r ill to a fcaturo r.t the . . . - - - T Book Over Hundred Years Old and Bound In New Bern is Discovered TO BE EXHIBITED AT FAIR In Excellent Condition, Every Page Legible John C. Sims - Binder ff It is generally supposed that print ing and book binding is an art that has been introduced into the city during the past, fifty years. Howeyrr, such is not. the case. More than one hun area years ago there was a printing and book binding establishment ope rated in New Bern, the only one in the State at that, time, which turned out work that even now is holding its own with the present day products. Mr. George Green, clerk of the Federal Court, has in his possession a sheep skin bound volume of "A Treatise on the Duties of a Sheriff, Coroner and Constable" which-was printed at New Bern in the year 1806 by John C. Sims. Despite the fact that the volume is one hundred and six years old, it is in ex cellent condition, every page being legible and from all appearances gobd for another century of usefulness. ' In perusing the contents of the book one is impressed with the laws which were in force at that time. The sheriff was paid no specified salary but re ceived pay only for what work he per formed. In a chapter regulating the fees paid, are found the following: For pillorying a person, five shillings. For every arrest, five shillings four pence. For putting a person in the stocks, six shillings. For apprehending any crim inal, ten shillings and for every ex ecution and decent burial of any felon. five, pounds. These are. only a few of the long list of fees and if the Sheriffs of that day attended strictly to busi ness they doubtless made more money than those who today hold that office. The following is an extract from the first paragraph to the instructions given to constabk-s: As constables were originally instituted for the better preservation of the pence, they rnay by the common law nrre-t felons and all persons that go abroi.d in the night and sleep by i.ay or Keep suspicious company. A constable is without order or warrant to give twenty lashes to any slave sapprehended going armed. If a constable takes a man that has dangerously wounded another and then the party wounded dieth and the offender escapes it is felony in the con stable." The- volume contains more than three hundred pages of matter that cannot fail to interest the reader. Some of the instructions to the officers contained in it seem ludicrous to us today. but werg -'at .-'that time rigidly enforced. . The book will be among the historical; exhibits to be seen at the Eastern Carolina Fair. ' 'WILSON STILL FAVORITE : New York, Oct. 18.--Wlth the world's series now a thing of the past, Wall street has, turned its attention to the election, and speculation on that event is, now in order. This ' speculation, however, is decidedly limited owing to the fact that many who would 'ordinarily place large wagers on'the. results have been hard .hit. by the late ..-doings at Fenway Park-and the Polo Grounds. Those rwho in the ; palmy f days : of racing were known . as the !

Purlfoy Says Thoroughfare Is Now Passable For Con siderable Distance FARMERS HAVE BEEN ACTIVE When Road Is Completed and in Use It Will Mean Much To New Bern Mr. N. A. Purifoy, who lives on R. F. D." 1, wag among the visitors to the city yesterday. Mr. Purifoy is one of the promoters of the movement to rebuild the old Walker road and while here talked interestingly of the work being done. A few months ago the New Bern Chamber of Commerce took this matter up and at a called meeting decided to ask the Craven Oounty Board of Com missioners to put the convicts to work on the road. At the following meeting of the Board the matter was brought before them but on account of the fact that the road was at that time in what . was considered an impassable condition they were unable to take any action, but stated that if the citizens living along the road would put enough work on it so that it would be passable the convicts would be allowed to complete the work. Mr. Purifoy attended this meeting of the Board and upon his return home put the matter squarely up to his neighbors. The result of this action on his part was that they at once began work. The start was made down neaj the Pamlico line and now they have completed the road so that it is in a passable condition to a point about eight miles from New Bern. The farmers living between that point and here have been unusually busy with their crops during the past five or six weeks and this has caused much delay in the work. . A few weeks ago it was thought that the road would be ready for traffic in time for the Fair but it is now seen that this will not be the case. However, only a few miles of it is in bad condition and it will doubtless be, used to some extent.. The opening of this road will mean much to the citizens who live along it and also to the commercial interests of New Bern. AS PHYSICIANS SEE IT Doctors Attending The Colonel Explain Why He Is Being Carefully Watched. Chicago, Oct. 18. Although Colonel Roosevelt is already looking forward to the time whem he can leave the hospital. his physicians are not permitting his apparent improvement to influence them in making promises. Within an hour Dr. Lambert said symptons of blood-poisoning might develop, in which case the entire situa tion would be altered. Time must be given for the broken rib to set, as well and it is not unlikely that the Colonel will be "detained in the hospital for another week. It is Colonel Roose velt's own way-of living which makes the physicians reluctant to release him at an early date, for they fear that once he were out of the hospital he would be drawn back into the campaign, and with anything like his customary a- mount.of work, he. would suffer as a consequence. - :- Dr. Lambert, the family physician. explained that there was no signifiance in. the fact that the bulletin said the bullet would not be removed J'at pre eentV:'V j-V-rVi. "Vott- see,."" he. said, "when you talk of the future,' we must of. necessity be ' indefinite.' To ' illustrate: x Supposing sepsis were to set in, after we had said the bullet would not be removed. - It ' might make itself so clear as to attract - our attention in a single hour, and then -, the" previous assertion would .appear ' either misleading or misinformed. 1 So we say the bullet will hot be . taken out now.. It depends on wo things whether it ever will be removed. One is if k starts causing trouble.. The other is if Colonel Roosevelt had rather . carry his 'souvenir' in -his pocket than in his chest." - ' v' Dr. John F. Golden said it had been . decided definitely that no move might -be made by the patient until after Sun day. - , ., . "As long as he is here," said Dr. Golden, "we feel we might just as well keep him. If he remains quiet until the rib knits sufficiently to be a reason able guarantee that, it will not break. s r ,',n, that ill remove another un j -'.li t pt.- illty."
