Shall We Have 1t?

month, a meeting of the citizens of
Durham will be held in Stokes Hall
for the purpose of organizing a
Durham Tobacco Association.
At the same time there will be
discussed the feasibility of holding
in Durham
Grand Tobacco Exposition and
Railroad Jubilee.
Committees will be appointed and
the ball set in motion. Don't for
get it. Every citizen in Durham
should feel deep interest in the
matter.
To use the language and entrea-
ties of the Winston "Twin-City
Daily" you may not be engaged in
the tobacco business but that is our
principal industry and the prosperity
of all our business interests hinges
upon it.
Don't forget this.
1t is that which brings thousands
of farmers of this and adjoining
counties to this market to sell the
products Of their fields and buy
what they need.
The money which they spend
makes business for our merchants
and others.
Without their trade the merchant
would find use for but very few
clerks, and would soon weary Of too
much holiday and become very lone
some.
This industry pays out thousands
of dollars a week to hands employed
in the factories, nearly every dollar
of which passes quickly over the
counters of our stores and other
establishments for the things which
these hands buy.
Don't forget this.
1t is this industry which has in a
few short years converted an I'M
pretending village into handsome
and queenly city.
Ii is this which has erected i'm
Fl posing blocks Of businessstructures,
opened up mileso streets, lined with
beautiful residences, evidences Of
thrift and taste; built high pinnacled
churches, models of ARCHITECTURAL
beauty; established water works Of
ample capacity, and last, but not
least. supplied an electric light sys.
tenn second to nonein the State, and
agOod system of street railway.
The tobacco industry gave the i'm.
petus and furnished the means to do
all this.
Ii is the fountain from which all
the other branches Of business draw
sustenance and live.
Upon it they depend for existence
With it they havelife and flourish
Without it they languish and die
For this community it is the root
ofthe tree of prosperity which gives
sap and yigor to the trunk ant
clothes the branches in garb Of
beautiful foliage.
1t is the stream which turns tht
wheels Of the other industries ant
makes them hum with life and &C
tivity.
Fostering it you foster every 9th
er industry.
Let it be crippled and every otheI
industry is crippled.

The tobacco fair is one Of the in

SPAIN AND HER DISTuRBERs.
Powerful Influences Used to Overcome
the Carlists and Zorillists.

LONDON, Oct. 23.- The decision of the
Spanish lninistely to conyoke the Cortes
within the next three weeks for the pur-
pose of placating the populace by pro-
posing reform in the army is hailed with
delight in Madrid aud welcomed as relief
in the provinces. The Zorillists have
been especially active of late OH the
frontiers and a large amount Of money
has been spent by them in propogating
their belief in the restoration of the
Pseudo republic which marked one Of
decline which Spain in modern years has
sustained. In evidence of the satisfac-
tion felt by the populace of the Spanish
capital at the decision of the cabinet to
defer to the demands of the people it
may be cited that the disorder which for
several days has prevailed has
almost entirely subsided and the efforts
of the gendarmes to preserve order are
no longer necessary. However, peace
is not so absolutely restored as to war
rant the authorities in assuming that
they may tllwart the will Of the people
py a policy of neglect, or of oppression
u@eflll solution of the difficulties that
TIE olficial promises be fulfilled. The
ablest detectives of the kingdom are now
engaged in shadowing Don Carlos, just
as they have been for some years en-
gagged in observing the movements of
Ruiz Gorilla, and, while neither of those
leaders may ever ascend the throne or
the presidential chair of Spain, both are
powerful factors in fomenting the dis
order which may at any time overthrow
the present government and plunge the
country into state of anarchy which
may compel the greater European pow
ers to interfere to perserve the general
peace, The Queen Regent, although a
woman of great force of character, yet
of sweet disposition, is in minority of
popular favoritism. She has construc-
lively the backing of Austria in any
endeavor to preserve the throne to her
son, the infant king, but in the precar-
ious circumstances hedging the dual
monarchy Emperor Francis Joseph has
enough to do to take care of himself.
Emperor William of Germany is credited
with the intention of paying a visit to
Madrid almost Immediately, and should
he do so he will no doubt inspire popular
belief that Spain's sovereign has his sym
sistance. whether this be true OF not.
Certainly the German kaiser is in bet
ter condition to extend aid to a tottering
contemporary than is the Austrian EN-
peror and perhaps the paciiication of
Madrid and its immediate surroundings
and the inspiration of awe in the
breast of the Zorillists, the Carlists and
the irresponsible mob is the chief object
of his contemplated visit. which is be-
lieved by many to be undertaken in de-
ference TO the wishes of Francis Joseph,
whose magnificent entertainment of the
young kaiser unquestionably demands
reciprocal consideration.

ordered it referred to the executive COM
mittee.
Mrs. Mary L. Lathrop, Of Michigan,
was called to the chair to preside during
the election of officers. Before Miss
President Willard retired, however, she
introduced Mrs. L. M. Barry, represent
ing the knights of Labor. Mrs. Barry
made a brief address rendering frater-
nal greeting to the convention in behalf
Of the knights and offering to cooperate
with the w. G. T. u, to suppress vice
and crush king alcohol.
A motion was made by Miss Willard
that a sisterly greeting be sent to the
knights of Labor which meet at Indian
apolis November 13. The motion was
adopted.
Miss Frances E. Willard, reelected
president, receiving 800 out Of total of

THE PARNELL CASE.
Investigation of the Times Charges

Investigation of the Times Charges
again in Progress.
LONDON, Oct. 23.---The commission ap-
pointed by parliament to inquire into the
charges made by the Times against Mr..
Parnell, and other nationalist members
of the house Of commons opened it's ses-
sion in the probate court. About a
month ago the commission held a short
sitting and the scope of inquiry was de-
fined, and applications made for, the re-
lease OF certain Parnellites from prison
for the purpose OF obtaining their testi-
mony. Since Mr.. Dillon has been re-
leased Internationally on account of his
health. MI. Redmond and other prison
ers will be released on parole when the
Fanel1ite counsel desire it. Attorney
General Sir Richard Webster opened the
case Il ne Times. The attorney gen
eral nat he would not treat the case
as hsN ; anything, to do with home
rule, or with any Irish question. The
inquiry would be made strictly into the
specific charges made against the Par
nellites in the course of the Times-O'Don-
eell libel suit. He then proceeded to re-
view the Times articles on ''Parnellism
and Crime The court room was well
filled With representatives of the press

SOME STRANGE DISHES.
HOW UNUSUAL MATERIALS ARE PRE-
PARED FOR THE TABLE.
Tho Poor of Naples Delight in Sea Urch-
ins-Hedgehog Cooked in Roman Ia
vern-snails of Agreeable Elavor-Snakcs
q Difficult Question,


On the whole, popular cookery has O
strong likeness to popular poetry-it is
full of good ideas imperfectly worked out.
Who can say, for example, what mos
tarda might become if the fruits were
treated with little moro caro- and per-
sonal consideration before they were
placed in the mustard? AS it is, there is
a hint of q new flavor about it which
human ingenuity has not hitherto
brought fully out. Ripe grapes picked
in vinegar, though their merits arc well
known in southern Russia, have never
received due recognition in Eng
land, but these are delicacies rather
than food. The fishermen all along
the coast from Gaeta to Naples have va,
rious ways of cooking fish which are un-
known in the great hotels. Many of them
are interesting and might be attractive
but forthe predominating flavor Of garlic.
Fresh sardines, crisply fried in oil, are
quite admirable eating, but the fisher
way of dealing with them. They place
them in shallow tin, embed them in
bread crumbs, add q few savory herbs,
pour little good olive oil, squeeze q
lemon or two over them, and then bake
them over a sharp fire. The result is IN
expected but not disagreeable. In some
towns and villages of Northern Italy
small birds are treated with tho same ap-
preciative kindness. They are roasted on
u spit before sharp fire, and then laid in
pickle for day or two and served cold.
UNUSUAL MATERIALS.
No one will suggest that there is any
thing common or unclean in such food as
has been mentioned; it does not even bor.
der on impropriety, but may be freely en-
joyed by men of all sects and nations.
AS soon as one turns to unusual materials
national prejudice asserts itself and the
ground becomes unsafe. In central and
considerable part of northern Germany
the man who eats rabbit becomes q
social outcast; in England many re-
spectacle citizens indulge shamelessly
in this mild form of dissipation. The
Neapolitan poor are not as rule dainty,
but while deighting in sea urchin they
look down with scorn upon the Calabrese
because they eat sea slugs, which, if prop
crly cooked, arc not very nasty. Nay,
even i'll our own country there was time
when persons scoffed at frogs; now most
Englishrlcn who have been to Paris know
that, if properly treated, they add new
zest to dinner, if not to life.
The old prejudice against snails still
continues, yet there are at least two
.ediblo kinds which are worthy of all re-
spect. They must be kept and fed cleanly,
preferably on vino leaves, for some time
before being used. but when this has been
done both sorts add peculiar and agree
able flavor to several clear soups, and one
of them when boiled, chopped small and
allowed to cool, greatly improves any
green salad. Do not let the hasty reader
imagine that they have any resemblance
to the common periwinlle

sal disease catarrh, called "Log Cabin
rose cream; "Warner's Log Cabin plas-
ters;' and "Warner's Log Cabin liver
pill;' which are to be used in connec-
tion with the other remedies, or inde-
pendently as required.
Warmers safe remedies are already
standards of the most pronounced sci
entific value in all parts of the world,
and we have no doubt the Log Cabin
remedies, for the disease they are in
tended to cure, will be of equal merit,
for Mr.. Warner has the reputation OF
connecting his name with no prepara
tion that is not meritorious.
