The shoals, which are located about '( eevei lailes from New Bern, make it in:possijlc for a vessel drawing more ' ,tban six or seven feet of water to navigate slip the river and in extreme '''..low tide, Vessels drawing 9vie feet of ,; pwater sometimes run aground.

For the aake of her husband, -"if he were the right sort of man," Mrs. lEeanor Acneson Carr, daughter of the late Dr. Iselin D. Mc- Gill, president of the"" Hudson County National Bank, would cheerfully give up her share of, her father's $1,200,000 estate and his residence on the Heights overlooking Jersey City. T But he yoixng wojtfan declares that the young army surgeon she wedded and is now trying to divorce isn't the right sort, and so "she will obey to the letter the injunction of her father, expressed in his will,' and will keep away, from Dft Carr, thereby keeping her three-fifth of the estate.1 ,t.

Mr. Bryan has since said he did Opt do it the Peutocratk rank and file did it but he simply knew when to fend the faucet to tura on the will of the party. Mr. Bryaa may not nave bjiseti urnign any, -other faucet; bW evidence- of is -popularity has been engaging the., attention of, Governor Wilson in the last few daj-s. - When--erroneous reports were printed in New York and elsewhere that Gov ernor Wilson had offered the State portfolio to Mr. Bryan, there was im mediate evidence .in the mail that such a step wOuld be exceedingly unpopular among Democrats. Many ot them wrote their protests in most cases making Governor Wilson pay postage duty and editorials of various news papers were often inclosed. The news of this opposition was cabled to the United States. Then some one turned on the faucet and the rank and file responded with a will. Governor Wilson, when he saw the correspondents to-day, explained that he had spent more than four hours reading his mail, .and that most of the letters were strongly , in, advocacy of Mrv Bryan for the chief post in the Cabinet. He said that while the first letters had opposed the Nebraska n, the communications favoring him now counted up at the ratio of about four to one. "Then Mr. Bryan still has friends?" ventured one of the interviewers. "He numbers them by the hundreds of thousands", was the quick and em phatic reply. It was evident that Governor Wilson valued the letters championing the Nebraskan Over those containing pro tests, and was pleased to -learn of the popularity of the1-man he had once wanted knockedigto "a cocked hat."

Senator Simmons said last night that he is co-operating- with other Democratic Senators'n 'tne- matter .of holding up Presidents Taft's xominations in the Senate, 'but whether an agreement was reached or not, there would be no coh firmations made for North Carolina positions, that he could hold up. The Senator said in a number of cases the commission ol postmasters had expired a year ago, and that holding up confirmation for a few months longer, would not inconven ience anyone, Unless it , be the Repub lican officeholders. As the matter of withholding confirmations is a matter of "Senatorial courtesy," it is safe to say the ' North Carolina positions will be filled by President Wilson. A rumor has been going the rounds' here that Senator Simmons would not look with favor upon recommendations for postmasters made by Representa tive Claude Kitchin. It is learned that Mr. - Kitchin will be treated with the. sime consideration in matters of this kind as other Congressmen from the- State, '' - .

'k. a I . "LI for chUdreM's playgrounds. . The idea of such a movement, Mil Windley said, originated with tl Woman's Club .of. Pittsburg which 4 1896 appropriated 1125 for the purT chase of one playgound. In 1897 the Civk Club invested $100. The school board got interested in tbe movement and in, 1910 the, city and the schooM board voted an appropriation of $50,000 and $10,000 respectively to cany o me work I a ths meantime other large cities took up the ides and in 1910 the or ganization, of the Children's Playground Association of America under Joseph Lee was effected. In 1912 the name of this organization was changed to thH Children s Playground and Recreatiop' Association, The aim of the association. Miss Windley explained, is ''to direct the energies of the child into the right channels for the development of char acter." The .means through which this aim is reached is playground paries, scnooi yards anc streets. At the conclusion of Miss WindleyV address she was given a rising vote ot appreciation by the club. A Mrs. Moore's paper on Jane Addams was a very interesting and entertaining presentation of the career of this. truly remarkable woman. "As a clu studying things current", said Mrs. Moore, "and on this especial occasion learning the works and achievement of. contemporaneous women, and find-, ing so 'many truly great lives amopa our own sex, it is hard to select tbe foremost woman or to determine whit makes one life more praiseworthy thin another, but I think we will all agree that to one who has given her best years and enorts to tne uplilt 01 tne humble ,down-trodden and heiress1 poor, trying to raise them to a high's, plane of usefulness, sobriety and in dependence, belongs the greatest med. of praise. And in this undertaking no one woman has given more devotkra nor accomplished greater results thn Jane Addams. It would seem that to finger of God was laid upon this es pecial life and mapped out her great career in a peculiarly distinct way. "ft- An ice course was served at the cob elusion of the meeting and all expressed themselves a having spent a most pleasant and profitable evening.

After all the machinery has bees placed it will be necessary to make a thorough insepction and test of each part of before anything can be done. The mechanism of the cars will also be tested . This .however, will take up a comparatively short time, probably being completed in 9 day or two. Following this' VhecV? will be put in operation. Dunnghfe past few days many people have visited the barns and inspected the cars and in every instance they txpressed entire approval of their construction and appearance. REPUDIATES HISSTORY Declares There 'Was No Plot to- i Murder Rosenthal. New York, "Deci 11. "Bridgie" Webber, one of the four informers whose testimony convicted Charles Becker and the four gunmen of the murder of Herman Rosenthal, returned from Havana yesterday and issued a statement repudiating in many respects the story he told on the witness stand. He said there was no plot to murder Rosenthal. On the contrary, he said, the gunmen went to the Hotel Metro- pole to frighten the gambler, but two of them got drunk, and the fatal shoot ing resulted. Frank Moss, assistant district attor ney, who conducted Webber s exami nation on the stand, said he was amazed at Webber's statement. "This is the first time I have ever heard of such a story," said Moss. "If he had said before the trial he did not know of any plot, of course we would not have called him as a witness." Jack Rose, at his home in Queens- borough, said that Webber lied when he asserted,,! that there was no plot to 'kill' Rosenthal,' and that the murder was done on the spur of the moment because two of the men were drunk.
