The week has been one of gayety,' g.od cheer and mirth. Saturday was a day of' politics. ' A large crowd gathered here to see the leader of the Repub lican "forces and hear him speak. ' For six days Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the celebration of the one hundredth anniversay of the birth of the historic old town continued. For more than a week the glad hand was extrnded and the latch string left hanging ont, in easy reach of all who would .take it. Everywhere and all the while-it was "Howdy-do, we're glad to see ' you. Make yourself at home and stay as long as you like." The crowds were large, 'sober and or derly, but spirited and fatally bent on taking chances chances on tho street pars, chances wjth the fakirs and chances at the race track. One accident a fearful one came to mar the merriment of the occasion. Thomas Dalton, the younger son ot Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dalton, was dash ed , headforemost against 9 stone curbing oind perhaps fatally injured. Young Dalton,' just coming to man hood, was a handsome, vivacious, gallant boy, lovable, promising and the darling of his parents. Barring this sad accident nil went well.' Two of the best parades and one.,of the best fairs ever seen in the States were given during the week.' Everything, even tfieelements, com-, bined to-wtftake the da.vrgltirions.

William Howard Taft, Republican candidate for President, closed his tour of North Carolina here Satur day. He was cordially received at all points where lie spoke and his speeches were attentively listened to by Republicans and Democrats. First Stop at Statesville. Mr. Taft was up bright and early Saturday morning. His first speech was made at Statesville at 7:30 o'clock. Several hundred people heard him there. Being presented by Mr.. J. Elwood Cox, he said : "Ladies and Gentleman: I am glad to come into thwltate of North Car olina this beautiful October morn ing and to receive this cordial recep tion. CompIaint: is very often heard on the part of your people that North Carolina is not given her part in the administration of the government. She is not. She has able men, but as long as you are going to vote for the Democratic ticket and the Republi can party is' in power, I don't see how these gentlemen who do the vot ing can expect to share in the power. In other words, let them voto as they think and then we will wipe out sec tional lines.' ' It is a 'great pleasure for me to come here because I think I am the first Republican candidate for President that ever -came into North Carolina on a: campaign foi the presidency, and I am here for thei purpose of testifying to the South my interest in that section, my earnest desire to unite it with the North,-and my hope that the Republican party built . up in North Carolina, so may well, have its full repre- senhiiion in the executive councils of t!,r M.f; y . politics are -cessary, and niety (of the Human nature and p such as to make thai I appreciate the boni Southern neoDle.

' Fifteen ot the unfortunates, at least nine of them small children and three women, their mothers, were cremated In an Iron gondola car. The body of this car became red hot and roasted the poor people who had c'lmlnd into it as a place of refuge. Practically all that was found in the car whei. it was examined were fifteen charred skulls. '-Arthur Lee, the fireman on the train, leaped into the water tank of the locomotive and was literally boiled to death. William Barrett, the brakeman, was Incinerated on the engine. Conductor Kinville and Engineer Foster escaped by cravling along the tracks on their hands and knees with the forests on either side roaring like furnaces. The exact number burued may never be known. There was uo rec ord of those on the train. They tumbled aboard pellmell at Metz, a little town -which was threatened on all 8ide3 by forest fires, which were sweeping toward it. almost in a circle. Metz is twenty-five miles north of here on the Detroit and Mackinac Railway.' - It was not the only place threatened when the forest fires sud denly became threatening again and burued with a greater fury than they did a few weeks ago. From all over Presque Isle County, in which this city is situated, reports of furious fires came, and then communication was cut off. ; Telephone and telegraph wires were "rendered useless by the Intense . heat, and' there are many small places which may have, been WOMEN MOB PARLIAMENT British House of Commons Be sieged by London Suffragettes. Workingmen and Women Assemble at the Call of Agitators and Kusli I the Doors of Westminster. c London. The climax of the suf fragette campaign was reached when an en6rmous mob hemmed lri "Parlia ment and stopped the traffic"'ln all streets leading to Westminster. For more than three hours the crowds scuffled good natureilly with the po lice, interfered with theatregoers, broke windows and disorganized things generally in the centre of Lon don. The heroine of the day yas Mrs. Travers Symons. formerly secretary to James Keir Hardie, the Socialist and independent member of Parlia ment, who reached the door of tho House of. Commons by strategy. The House was solemnly debating a hill to prevent children from cigarette smoking, when the woman dashed past the doorkeeper to a position in front of the Speaker's chair and shouted shrilly: "Leave off discuss ing children and talk about women." Three officials seized Mrs. Symons and carried Iter out bodily. She was then led to the outer door and dis missed. As a result cf the coup an order was issued that hereafter wom en should not be admitted to the building on any pretext whatsoever, and in the future the historic grille will not screen feminine spectators. The appeal issued by the suffra gettes a few days ago for 50,000 per sons to help them "rush" Parliament was the most successful stroke jet. Not less than( twice- that number re sponded to th'e calL and nine-tenths o . these were young people who came to see the fun. There were also 1 few hundred of the unemployed and their sympathizers. Parliament was in a state of siege. A close triple line ot police was drawn : around three sides of the square In front of the building. The yard within the gates swarmed with police, and 200 guarded the terrace in the rear against assault by water, which the women twice attempted. A small fleet of police boats also pa trolled the Thames approaches.

Destroyed Dynamite Used. El Paso, Texas. For the second time In two years the town of Bisbee. Ariz., has been swept by fire. The loss is estimated at $1,000,000. -Fifty acres of the town were swept clean. The fire started at the Grand Hotel and spread rapidly. The Angelas Hotel was dynamited in an effort to stay the flames, but a strong breesa was blowing up the Canon and the lire was rapidly carried forward. The Opera House, the Women's Toggery, the big Fair Store and many other' bis business houses were burned. ; ' Bisbee is built at the Junction oC Tombstone and Brewery gulches and the houses extend up the sides of- the mountains surrounding. Owing to the floods this summer many water pipes were broken, the firemen wers powerless and the fire had to be fought with dynamite. Scores of volunteers were overcome fighting the flames and many women add children had narrow escapes. It is believed that a number of persons lost their lives in the work of dyna miting, as many are unaccounted for. Coming when the Bisbee copper mines had been operating half timo for many months and when the city was staggering under a heavy finan cial load as a result of the. flood dam age and the fire ot less than two years ago, this fire may result In the city abandonment for a new site on the plains near by. , j, MIDDIES FAIL TO PASS.
