1t is a lamentable fact, and yet a
very potent one, that Durham is most
insufficiently supplied with apparatus
to extinguish a fire of any considera-
BILE consequence. We have double
tank Champion Chemical Fire En-
CINE and a Hook and La lder Com
pany, but these organizations would
be powerless under circumstances
that may arise at any moment. To
be sure the great factories of town
have their own appliances, and are
measurably safe; the town itself is
virtually at the mercy Of chance
Mr.. r. ID. -BlacEnall, chief engineer,
and his co-laborers can be relied up
on to do all they can, but there are
limits to the best of endeavor, espe-
cially when handicapped as the Fire
Department now is. y.

Chicago Exposition.


WNptNAtb1A : " ONioDGI ~ 1901
OF all the Exhibitions of this class
which have been started in the world
only two have been able to main
tain themselves for any considerable
term of years without intermission.
The American Institute of New
York, is one of the two, and has
been either seif-sustaining, or has a
sufficient endowment to establish it
as Il permanency. The only other,
and by far the most eminently sue
cessful, in all respects, is the one at
Chicago. Opening for the first
time, September q, 1878, it has
held twelve annual consecutive Ex-
hibitions, of the very highest class
its field being Industry, Science and
Art It's %unyarYing success is evil
denced by the fact that, with an ad-
mission fee of only 25 cents, its
treasury has never failed in any one
year to realize from $35 1000 to
$4,000 net. It's visitors who paid
admission have averaged about
5000 per day, for forty days-and
this attendance, made up as it is of
the most progressive, wide-awake
people on the face of the earth, is
ample evidence of the genuine merit
of the Exposition itself.
The truth in a nutshell is, that
no intelligent person within reach
of Chicago, who desires to keep
abreast Of the progress of mankind
in the mechanic and fine arts, can
afford, for even a single year, to
miss the opportunity for observation
and study which these annual EXhi.
billions offer. Railroad fares during
the forty days are reduced to the
lowest figures.

twenty cities and villages have voted
in favor of $500 as the rate of Ii

many Of the other localities where
the 5000 license has prevailed, that

main uncut. The recent weather
has been quite. favorable to the cur
ing, and no complaints have been
heard of shed damage. The crop
has entirely escaped injury from

grasshoppers have seriously injured
a good deal of the tobacco. Inspec-

weeks sampling the 's4 crop. These
goods are without doubt the finest

il the opinion of The PhiIadel
phia Record, "Nyisconsin's gain of
twenty-one per cent. in population
since 1880, is almost offset by the
wholesale CELEBRATION of her yalu
adle timber that has taken place
during the same interval. The
settlers who are d~enuding her tim.
Der lands will never again see such
stately forests. Their descendants
will farm scrub lands and pray in vain
for rain" There is a good deal OF
exaggeration about the loss of tim
Der in this state. In common with
all states, Wisconsin is losing too
much timber, but there is an inn
mense supply yet, much of which
will not be touched until new forests
are developed There is not the
wholesale destruction of timber now
that there was a few years ago.

THE Cobb correspondent of the
Dodgeville Chronicle reports the
follow strange and lamentable mis-
fortune which has befel a worthy
young man of our country:
The old maxium, at never rains
but it pours," we think, proved true
to Reuben Ellsworthy, of this place.
On last Tuesday he went to Dodge
Vile, and while there his horse was
taken sick, and he borrowed one
from his brother John to come home
with. After reaching home he went
to his fathers, in the town of Miflin
to see about attending the fair, and
on his way home from there the
horse he got from his brother
dropped dead in the road, and he
had to get home the best he could,
leaving the dead horse in the high
way. Early Wednesday morning he
turned his cattle out to pasture and
went to bury the horse, when on his
return home he found two steers
dead with clover bloat and another
one nearly SO. He tapped the latter
one and thought it was improving
during the day, but in the evening
he found it dead, and also received
word from Dodgeville that the horse
he had left there was also dead,
making two horses and three steers
which died on his hands in two days.
Reuben is an industrious young
man, and his heavy loss excites
much sympathy among his friends.

In the death of Emery A. Storrs,
which occurred last Saturday, a
bright light goes out, the country
loses one of its most brilliant orators
and distinguished lawyers. His
death was sudden. Aged so years.
Mr.. Storrs was an indefat igable
mental worker. When he had a
case before him, he made it the sub
ject of intense study from one mid
night to another. In preparing a
case he knew no rest, gave his brain
no respite, called upon it by draft
afterdraft fornew service; sustained
himself by stimulants; and FASTENED
with t%ireless speed and with every
nerve strung to its utmost degree Of
tension to the conclusion of his task.
Such labor wears out the vital pow
ers with terrific rapidity. 1t pro
duced the death of Matt II. Carpen

does more then a reasonable and al
lotted task discounts his future
years, and must pay in the end ten

NASHVILLE, Tenn, October 28.-Intor.
nation has just been received that DR..
Jno. o. Smith killed T. A. Roder in
Dover, Stewart County, by shooting him
three times with pistol. Roder was at
tempting to force an entrance into the
residence of Smith for the purpose OF
interviewing Mrs. Sallie Smith the
widowed sister-in-law of Smith, when
he was fred upon. Roder was insanely
infatuated with Mrs. Smith, but was re-
garded by her with posive adherence. He
had often sought to thrust himself into the
Iady's presence, and on one occasion
with such force that he was brought
within the pale of the criminal law.
Nothing, however, resulted from the
threatened prosecution. Despite the re-
pugnance which Mrs. Smith manifested
for him, Roder had for years Swallowed
her, and endeavored by every pretext to
win her favor. He has called upon her at
her home and been SO boisterous
that the frightened lady escaped
through side window. She came to
this city on one occasion in order to
avoid him, but he followed her, and
actually forced his way into the midst OF
the family whom she was visiting. The
sight of her insane lover so wrought
upon the nerves of the lady that she was
thrown into commissions. She managed
to elude him and return to Dover. He
soon discovered that he had been out
Witted and followed her.
It is supposed that DR.. Smith acted
upon the theory that patience had ceased
to be a virtue, and that duty to his broth
er's widow demanded that he rid her Of
the cause of SO much anxiety and
trouble.

CHAPTER XII.
VISITING THE MINES

mr. Annelsey's visits to their fathers
cottage ceased with the departure of
Jennie and Lucy, and John Parsons was
thus left without means of obtaining
frequent or reliable information of the
progress of work at the mines.
He was at the landing every day or
two with produce for shipment, and
always inquired of such as he met if
they had any news from Gravel Hill,
but received no information of q pos
tive character such as he had been ac-
customed to obtain from Mr.. Annelsey.
He had, in fact, questioned that young
gentleman so often and so infinitely
that he felt as if he knew the mines,
and all the details of the work of prep
aration for working them, as perfectly
as if he had LOCATED them and superin-
tended the late3r of the men himself;
but now he only heard rumors, those of
to-day being contradicted by those of
tomorrow. CT late, too, he had frequent
" been answered impatiently, almost
rudely, by those whom he was in the
habit of questioning about the mine.
They feIt no especial interest in the af-
fairs OF the mining company them
selves, and could see no reason for his
solicitude, and were growing weary Of
his constant and persistent inquiries.
re was known. of course, that the SON
Of one of the largest stockholders had
been somewhat intimate with his
daughter, and there were found gossips
who intimated that 1.-THE old mans de-
sire for information from the mines was

headquarters there during the time he
was not roaming over the country,
flirting with such young girls as were
foolish enough to permit it. =
And then the moral vultures, from
which even country neighborhoods
are not always free, futtered their
wings and INDUCED in another little
fight of fancy.
1.-THE pretense of a return to school
| was only blind, = they said. ''Lucy's
parents had found it necessary to send
her from home for time, and her
elder sister accompanied her as a nurse
and to prevent any suspicion of the true
cause of her going
No one who knew the family well
| gave any heed to these tales, but there
were those who did believe them, and
who looked upon the changed appear
ance of John Parsons as confirmation
of them; for there was no denying that
there was change in him. Among his
neighbors and at the landing he had
been noted for the hearty manner with
which he greeted everybody, whether
boy or man, and for jovial expression
OF countenance that gave an instant
impression of a prosperous and con.
tented man, as well as the possessor q
q kindly heart. But now his whole ex.
preston and manner was changed.
| Often at the landing he passed mer
whom he knew, without appearing tc
| see them, and looked at strangers with.
/ out speaking, but in q manner which
seemed to question them of their pur
pose Of coming TO the locality. All tbs
| 1oIlity had left him, and his greetings
