FOUNDHER TWOBOYS
MRS. CAFE RECEIVERS HER SONS
AFTER A SEARCH OF six YEARS.
The Father Who Had Taken Them Dead
One in Drayma ans Famiiy-The Other
In Cave-Third Party Matters.
Especial telegram to the DIspatch.l

RALErou, N. O.. September News was
received here to-day that the widow OF DR..
George G. Cafe has just returned to Con-
cord with her two sons,. aged ten and
eight years, who were taken from her by
their father six years ago, and whom she
had all that time been trying to trace.
The oldest boy. John, was found in the
family of q drayman at Johnson CITY.
Tenn. Mrs. Cafe did not recognize him at
first. The other boy, Kronheim, was found
in a cave twenty eight miles from johnson
City. He at first refused to leave 1T, but
finally his mother persuaded him to do so;
Neither boy wished to return. They had
entirely forgotten her, and neither yet
calls her mother. DR.. Cafe was found
dead in the road near Concord six weeks
ago. He had left the children in Tennes-
see.
THE STORY CONFIRMED.
Confirmation was to-day received from
a prominent source of the news as to the
sending by the third party managers at
Washington of letters to each Democratic
candidate for Office. informing him that he
must fall in line with the third or Peoples
party. No step which could have by sly
chance been taken could have been better
for the Democrats. 1t is said here with
satisfaction that il is well that the third
party movement begins thus early. as it
will die a natural death before the next
election in North Carolina.

POLITICS LET ALONE.

The picnic was enjoyed as. the farmers
easy. and hospitable way. But little poll
tics developed and it is supposed by many
that the third-partyites knowing the
solid $1,000 Democratic majority of this
county, thought it best TO let it alone.
After speaking and the picnic were over
the whole assembly marched and drove
through the streets headed by the Alliance
Pilgrim Band. Fully a hundred vehicles
were in the procession, which was dis
banded on the fountain square, and all
dispersed to their homes.

WASHINGTON, September 1.--Not word
of news has been received at the State De-

the state of affairs in Chile, save the brief

TOPEKA. KAN. September l.-Senator
PETER, who returned from Iowa yester-

was defeated by the Missouri Alliance.
THE Missouri Alliance" said Senator
PETER to-day, has done tho correct
thing. The sub-Treasury scheme is pro-
position for the people TO decide. and they
will 90 right. The sub-Treasury advocates
had enough votes in the convention to
carry the plan, but they disappointed the
politicians by allowing the sub-Ailiances
TO settle the question. The sub-Treasury
scheme was not defeated. 1t was simply
referred to the sub-Alliances.
TIE "oLD" PARTIES.
Had IL been q convention OF Democrats
or Republicans with majority they would
have fastened their idea on the people and
the people would have been compelled to
submit. The action of the Missouri con-
vention will result in delay, but the Al
lance States will all have acted on the sub
Treasury plan in time for the campaign OF
1897. and I think the Cincinnati platform
will be practically the one on which the
campaign will be fought by the Peoples
party"

colors, just enough deeper in tint than
the satin to show effectively upon it.
The stamens were wrought in pearls, the
stems in their own grayish green, and
the great spray is tied up with pale blue

She Meant Well.

In enforcing the postal laws hundreds Of
cases are investigated by the post !t!ce ~
thorities which are not broIi.- lit t. the TIT,
tention of the courts, and in which no pun
ishment is asked for. Th3re have leeH
technical infractions Of the law, hut with
out guilty intention upon he pait of the
violators.
Such q case was settled by Mr.. George =
Evans, the postoffice inspector in charge 1T
the Federal building. Nobody was injured
in the transaction, and the delinquents in
the matter freely acknowledged their graft
tude for the judicious way in which the
case was managed.
One of the largest corporations of Bos-
ton has frequent occasion to send notices
to stockholders and directors and circulars
to customers. They are almost always in
print, and being put in an unsealed envel-
ope require only one cent stamp.
A large lot of notices were sent out day
or two ago. The secretary ordered a suffi-
cient number from the printer, and when
the lot arrived handed them to a lady
clerk, with instructions to be sure ard
mail them that night to the gentlemen
whose names and addresses were contained
upon a list which he furnished her. He
went away before her work was completed.
The lady wrote the directions on all her
envelopes, and then began to fold in the
circular letters. She found the printer had
fallen short of the required number, and
that she needed twenty more. She had re-
ceived positive orders to get the whole num-
ber into the mail that night, and not know
ing the law, or being forgetful of it for the
moment, she wrote out a sufficient number
of notices to fill the bill, folded them into
her envelopes, and, leaving them unsealed,
put one cent stamp on each, as she had
on all the Others.
BY the merest accident one of the written
documents was discovered by postoffice
employe, and, as in duty bound under the
law, he made an examination Of the whole
batch and found that twenty of the en-
velopes should have had two cent stamp
| letter postage.
An attempt to evade postage-or defraud
the postal revenues-is punishable as a
criminal offense under the statutes of the
United States The case by necessity was
| reported to Mr.. Evans and he made an in
vestigation. When he discovered that the
| facts were as stated here he declined to
make any case for prosecution, and simply
asked that the corporation pay to the gov
ernment the amount Of the postage due
twenty cents.-Boston Herald.
