WILL PROVE OF MUCH BENEFIT
The Battleship "North Carolina"
?' Wlllln All Probability
v " . '
- .,. Be Used.
During the latter part of next month
the six companies comprising the North
Carolina Naval Militia will go on board
one of the U. S. battleships, probably
the North Carolina, for a two weeks'
cruise.
There are six-companies in this di--yisibn,
New Bern, Washington, Her -ford,
Wilmington, Plymouth and Eliza
beth City and it is expected that a
large proportion of each company will
take advantage of the cruise. Com
mander Bradham who is in charge
ol the North Carolina Naval Militia,
states' that the exact date for this
crnise has not been determined at the
present time but will in all probability
' be made known at an early date.
The cruise will be a unique experi
ence' for the sailor-soldier boys. For
merly, their annual cruise has . been
made on the Elfrida, their training
fJfip, and the cruise has not been on
"the briny" but only upon the rivers
.and sounds which are to be found in
Eastern North Carolina.
. The cruise on the battleship will
prove of benefit to the members of the
different companies in a number of
-ways. They will be given - practice
-with the big guns, learn to signal from
.one vessel Ao another -and in fact
lie given instructions similar in every
-way to those given to the members of the
boat's regular crew.
The embarkation will in all prob
ability be made from Morehead City
and the cruise extend as far down the
coast as Florida.

... - '
Gol .Drunk And Butted Around
Awfully.
Dr. D. L. Buzzrad, who claims to be
affiliated with Mephistopheles, or in
words which can be more easily as
similated is a "conjur doctor" was
placed under arre.-t yesterday after
noon by Policeman A. L. Bryan and
F. P. Rowe for being drunk and dis
orderly and also on a charge of vagrancy
Dr. Buzzard is colored, in fact he
is more than that, he is black and about
as black as the descendants of Ham
ever get to be, and during the past few
days has had rather a spectacular
career in police circles. The' doctor's
exhibitions of "black magic" have not
panned out so successfully in recent
days and his coterie of followers have
begun to murmur and cast imprecations
upon his cranium. The result of all
this was a summons to police court.
Dr. Buzzard received this summons
but after consulting various and sundry
mystic signs decided not to appear
before the Mayor, and he didn't, but
he will for he is now being held in the
county jail until 11 o'clock this morning
when he will have an oppi rtunity of
explaining to His Honor just where
and when he engages in manual labor
and also tell why he was drunk and dis
orderly yesterday afternoon.

lionaire milk man who startled her fami
ly and friends a few weeks ago by dis

: H. t; PRATT
E
In
Her Complaint She Charges
Her Husband With In
fidelity. CASE HAS BEEN CONTINUED
Defendant In The Action Is Now
Serving A Term In The
State Prison.
Among the interesting cases on the
docket of this week's session of Craven
county Superior Court is the divorce
case of Pratt vs. Pratt, in which Mrs.
Pratt is suing her husband H. T. Pratt
for a legal separation on the groutnd
of infidelity. Owing to the fact that
the attorney representing the plaintiff
did not have sufficient time in which
to issue depositions, this case has been
continued until the next term of Craven
county Superior Court.
The defendant in this action is now
serving a three years' term in the North
Carolina State prison for forgery and
embezzlement. For several years he
was engaged in the insurance business
in New Bern and held the esteem of all
who knew him. In the early part of
1912 he suddenly left the city and when
his affairs were investigated it was
found that he had misappropriated
funds of the insurance companies, for
which he was the State agent, and had
also forged a prominent attorney's
name to a note for three hundred dol
lars and had succeeded in getting this
discounted.
Dectectives were put on his trail and
he was located in the far West and
placed under arrest and later brought
back to New Bern and placed on trial
He pleaded guilty to the offenses
charged against him and was sentenced
to the State prison. Mrs. Pratt, who
has always been held in the highest
esteem by all" who know her, is now
residing in the North with her parents.

SCRIPT DL COVERED SIX
YEARS AGO.
London, May 14. Some long-missing
verses of the New Testament are in
eluded in the manuscripts of the Gospel
discovered in Egypt six yi-ars ago am
purchased by Charles I. freer, o
Detroit, Mich., according to a studv
made of the f reer Manuscripts by th

by the L'nivei nily of Michigan, lo which
Mr. Freer assigned the task of publi
ca ion ana, according to I ne l lines
study, there tune liee.i lound in th
Gospel of St. M; rk several verses which
occur in no other known manuscript
of the New Testament, although they
were known to hi. Jerome, v. ho quotes
part of them.
In the Freer manuscripts after the
passage in which it is said that Jesu:
upbraided His disciples for their un
belief, the text continues as follows:
"And thery excused themselves- say
ing that this ago of lawlessness and un
belief is under Satan, who through the
agency of unclean spirits, suffers not
the true power of god to be apprehend
ed.
"For the cause, said they unto Christ
reveal now at once Thy rightouBness
"And Christ said unto them, the
1'mit of the years of the powers of
Satan is (not) fulfilled, but it draweth
nerf (The next here and elsewhere
is corrupt.)
"For the sake of those that have sin
ned was 1 given up unto death, that
they may return Unto the truth and
sin no more, but may inherit the spirit
ual and Incorruptible glory of righteous
ness in Heaven." .

Children Of New Bern Making Use
Of New Pleasure Ground.
The children of New Bern are losing
i time in making use of the play
ground recently opened up on Craven

ground during the past few days and
ust as soon as they can be constructed
several swings and dinky-boards will
be added.
It is also the intention of the City
Beautiful Club to make other improve
ments on the ground during the next
lew weeks. A fountain and pool will
be erected and numerous benches will
be placed at various points. Several
ublic spirited citizens have offered
to assist in this work but if there are
others who want to help, their assis-
ance will of course be greatly appre
ciated.
In a few weeks vacation days will be
at hand and then the children will be
free all during the day and will have
n excellent apportunity to romp and
play on the ground and this thought
ful act of the Citv Beautiful Club in
making it possible for them to have
such a place will mean much to their
hildish hearts.

MARSHALL GETS TABLE COVER
Embroidered In Vivid Colors
By
Indiana Soldier's Widow.
Washington, May 14. When Vice
President Marshall entered his office
today he stopped in amazement and
shaded his eyes with one hand.
"In Hearn's name," he exclaimed,
"what is it? A conflagration?"
The object was a table cover done in
pink and blue, yellow and vivid green
embroidery, with rosettes of pink rib
bon, and an embroidered portrait of
himself or sp he judged it to be, for
in embroidered letters beneath were
the words "Thos. Marshall." ThecovJ
er was the gift of a Fort Wayne, (Ind.)
woman, who accompanied It with a
letter saying she was "a soldier's widow,
a Democrat and a friend."
Appreciating the kindness that prom
pted the gift, the,. Vice-President sent
a cordial letter of thanks to the donor,
Mrs. Catherine Stanford.

TO
BE SEEN TONIGHT
First Performance Then, Followed
By Another To Be Given
Tomorrow Night.
PACKED HOUSES ARE EXPECTED
Curtain At 8:30 and Every Body Is
Requested To Be Present
At That Hour.
Adiuid-t the shout and applause of
the chaperones, a few invited guests
and a newspaper man, the curtain at
the opera house descended last night
on the full dres rehearsal of the big
musical extravaganza, "Slmnlicrland".
Every one us surprised but Mr. Foote
the director. He knew it, told people
it would be the biggest thing in the
entertainment line that has ever visit
ed the city, and his words have proven
true.
It was easily proven that this gigantic
play, billed a the "Hippodrome" of
musical extravangazas, will be larger
and much superior to any amateur
effort ever attempted in this city before
and with all conditions favorable
"Slumberland" will no doubt have two
packed houses.
Even the stage proved much too
small for the rehearsal last night but
some of this trouble will be avoided
tonight as the schoool rooms have been
engaged where the participants will
be housed until their turn on the stage.
There is no one time during the per
formance that even one quarter of the
whole cast is upon the stage; they ap
pear in groups all though the play.
Mistakes and delays usually incident
to final rehearsals were by no means
as numerous as might have been ex
pected last night. Even the seasoned
stage hands witnessing the rehears;
forgot at times they were at a dress
rehearsal, so interested where they in
the progress of the play.
"Slumberland" will be given its
first performance here tonight with
another show tomorrow night. The
curtain will be rung up at V.!0 and it
is requested that ecry one holding
tickets be inthe hoa.se and t-eated at
that hour.
The street sprinkler owned by the
city of New Bern has been resurrected
after many months of inactivity antl
is again in service much to the delight
of every citizen. The sweeping ma
chine which was at one time used in
cleaning the streets, is also being re
paired and will soon be seen in action.
