AFRICAN SUPERSTITION.
An 11-YearOld Lad Fioodooed By
an Indignant Mother.


A very peculiar case came up in Justice
MoIinas court yesterday. William Myers,
a colored truck farmer out in Woodville,
brought his son Dan, lad Of IL years, into
town, and turned him over as an incorrig-
ible. The boy was chained in the Justices
Office. and the dilapidated condition of his
clothing indicated parental neglect more
than anything else! Truancy and theft
were the charges preferred against the lad
by the father.
The boy was bright for his years, and he
denied that he had ever taken anything
except food, and that he said was very
seldom. He detailed a very pitiful ex-
perience in which blows from bis father
were the principal features He said that
articles stolen, which theft had been
fastened upon himself, had really been
taken by negreSs who occupied part of the
cabin in which his father livei; but the
most remarkable story he told, which is in
keeping with ire superstition Of his race, to
excuse his truancy, was that he had
ridiculed a neighbor boy who had been
addicted to vagrancy, and the mother Of the
vagrant had told Dan that when she died
he would be worse truant than her son.
Since that time the woman had died and
put mouth on him." and he could not
resist the temptation to run away. The
"mouth followed" him wherever he went.
The boy, after being given his dinner by
Officer Endres and lecture by Justice
Molina, was released and told that when the
mouth followed him to run round the
house and come back in the door, and the
j"mouth" would leave him, and if the father
was cruel to him to report the fact at once
to the court, and steps would be taken to
compel kind treatment,

This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't go far. The purchasing
power of dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. In a word, we are now inclined
to give very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock in various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits, new tricks and quips in jewelry, and
so on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we will sell uerg
close to move some of it. This is a good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornment we offer line par eccelLence of
Ladies' fine Cold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chains and
Charms, Gents Watches and Jewelry, etc.
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall-buy the
presents you intend to give notU. They
will keep, and you will save money.

How an East Broad Street Ice Cream
Saloon Game to Close Up.


Saloon Came to Close Up.
A colored man by the name of Grant, by
some means learned that Josiah D. Lloyd,
a colored shopkeeper on East Broad street
and Jones street lane, kept his money in
small sack under the head of his bed and
between the mattresses Some time during
Wednesday night Grant managed to slip to
the open window, and climbing halfway
in, distracted S35 from the purse. Lloyd put
the case in Detective Wetherhorn's hands.
Thursday the officer noticed that Grant had
suddenly bloonled out into a storekeeper on
his own account. Grant had laid in a stock
of melons, peaches, fruit, cakes, pies, a new
ice cream freezer, ETC., on the same street,
near Charlton, only two blocks away. He
dropped in on Grant as a guileless drum
mer, and Grant was asked the price he had
paid for the different articles, each
figure given Wetherhorn saying he
could discount After a full inventory,
Wetherhorn suddenly asked him what he
had done with the rest of the money
During the colloquy negro came in,
who recognized the detective at glance,
and he said to Grant: "Dat's no drummer
dat's 'tectlve Wetherhorn. l tell you mig
gah. you's gone"
Grant, in unfeigned establishment, asked
II he would be prosecuted. Mr.. Wetherhorn
told him that was for Lloyd to say. What
he wanted to know was, what Grant had
done with the money. Grant weakened and
took the officer to point in the back yard
of Grants house, and reaching down in the
weeds dug up out of the sand tin box con-
tanning a portion of the stolen money
Twenty-one dollars and seventy cents was
recovered, and Lloyd took Grants stock in
trade as part payment for the balance.
The detective urged Lloyd to prosecute,
and seeing policeman near, wanted Lloyd
to turn Grant over to him, but Lloyd, out

The Council Considering the Bids-No
Award Yet Made.

award \ OF maze.
The city council had an afternoon session
yesterday. The mayor and nine aldermen
were present.
The council went into committee Of the
whole to consider the bids for paving
Liberty street and part of Broughton and
Barnard streets with asphalt. Two bids
were considered, and the council without
taking final action adjourned until MONDAY.
There were two bids before the council.
The Warren-Scharf company's bid was to
lay an asphalt pavement 81 inches deep at
SO IS per square yard, u and keep it in repair
for five years. The Vulcanlte asphaltic
company offered to lay finch pavement
for 81 IS per square yard, or an S-inch
pavement for So 35 per square yard and
keep it in repair for five years. Mr.. Muir
doch, representing the Vulcanite company,
appeared before the council and explained
the excellence of the Vulcanite asphaltic
pavement. HG'
Alderman Thomas, chairman of the street
and lane committee, in an interview with
MORNING NEWS reporter, said that while
he did not want to commit himself as to the
merits of the two systems Of asphalt paving,
he did want to say that if the bid OF the
Vulcamte company is accepted, he would
favor the eight-inch pavement.
The vulcanite pavement is made OF
layer OF DFOkeus anu COtsl Ohl ulSOllaO0i
a layer Of finer stoMe or gravel, and the final
dressing is asphalt and coal tar distillate.
This pavement has been in use in Washing
ton city for the past fourteen years, and the
engineer reports the average annual cost of
repairs in that time has been less than 8
cents per square foot, and that to resurface
it every fifteen years costs but 81 05 per
square yard.
1t is understood that if the contract is
IL . 81 to- hot
local company will be organized here to
work up business in Georgia and Ala

paved is 81 ,430, divided as follows; Brough-

THEY wILLDRoPM MRS. CLEVELAND
Washington's Most Exclusive Set
Aghast at Her independence.
From the WIaterburu Amertcan.

From the Waterbury american.
There is a section of Washington society.
the sternly exclusive set, which affects TO
regard with disdain and aims to keep at a
distance the new people whom the fortunes
of political war are constantly sending to
the front here. These severely select people
assume the attitude toward the mixed
official society of the capital which the
uieiIe nobteSSe in France assumed toward
the second empire crowd. Some years ago
heard au old dame Of the exclusive circles
say that she would not receive Gen. Grant
into her house
When Mrs. Cleveland became the rage.
however, the selects" in due time thawed
out and smiled upon her, and in considera-
ton Of her beauty and brightness aud gen
eral refinement they consented to overlook
her accidency and newness and accept her
rs one of themselves. or late, no wever. il
is said, the selects" have como to regret
their generous treatment of the Young
woman, and it is probable will drop her.
The trouble, it seems, arises from Mrs.
Clevelands continuing to receive as her
guest and to treat as an intimate one Miss
Katherine Willard, a beautiful girl, who
possesses voice OF wonderful sweetness.
and who was schoolmate of the mistress
of the white house. When Miss Willard first
came here last winter as the guest OF Mrs.
Cleveland she was received with wide-open
arms by society of all grades, i'll considera-
ton Of her girlish beauty and her exquisite
voice. Along toward spring society was
shocked by the announcement that Miss
Willard had accepted position as in
structress in a local young ladies' school.
OF course society people said they would
be compelled to cease to know her although
it would cost them no little regret, as She
was such q dear sweet girl; aud Of course
they thought Mrs. Cleveland would also
cease to receive Miss Willard. But, to their
dismav, Mrs. Cleveland continues to asso-
ciato with Miss Willard just as il tue latter
were not working girl, and actually has
her now as guest at Oak View.
It has been fearfully trying ordeal for
the exclusives, but it is said they have set
their faces as firmly as is consistent with
good form, and resolved that they owe Il 10
sacred exclusiveness, come what may.
