THE STREET RAILWAY.

John G. George, the Balti more bond
holder of most of the securities of the
Raleigh street railway, is here superin-
tending operations, and his appearance
has had the effect of inspiring confidence
in the enterprise. The arrival of the new
cars, the new steel rails, and other fix
lures, has convinced the most skeptical
that the scheme is now one of the realities
of the near future The work of extend
ing the line to the exposition grounds has
commenced in earnest, and the confident
assurance is given that the cars will be
running thither by August 10Th.
THE CARALEIGH COTTON MILLS.
1t had been earnestly hoped that this
ne " plant would have been in operation
by the time the new cotton crop COM
menced to be fully put upon the market.
Somewhat of drawback has, however,
been put upon the enterprise in the past
few days. In order to facilitate the haul
ing of lumber, &C., for building, the con-
Meeting branch from the North Carolina
Road to the mills was commenced and
gotten fully under way. It turns out,
however, that an injunction has been sued
out by W. A. J. Goodwin, of this city, to
prevent the road from running through
piece of land leased by him from w. u.
Upchurch. The case came up before

field when a storm came up suddenly, and they
took refuge in q gin house. During the storm
the gin house was struck by lightning and a

killed and Mr.. Sample and q young negro boy
badly injured. The other two men of the party
were not hurt. Mr.. Sample has partially recov-
cred and the doctors say he will be well in few

THE NEW ENGLAND SUPPER.

The Ladies' Aid society of the Dodge
Avenue Methodist Episcopal church gave
New England supper at the West Side
hotel last evening. The attendance was
not large, owing to the blizzard, but what
the company lacked in numbers was made
D by the sociability of those present, as
every one made himself agreeable and
went in for a general good time. Mr.. c.
F. Guyers as George Washington, and
Mrs. c. Burrows as Martha Washington,
received the guests. The young ladies and
gentlemen who acted as walters were
dressed in colonial styles, and made very
pretty scene mingling here and there with
the crowd. A supper was served early In
the evening, and then an interesting pro-
gram of literary and musical exercises was
rendered. The recitation of THE New
Organ" by Mrs. j. Dunn, was well receiv-
ed, and certainly was rendered with skill
that shows careful training. The solo by
Mr. j. G. Sampson created much amuse-
ment as he interspersed the verses with
original remarks, which went right to the
point. He kindly responded to an encore
with a good old-fashioned camp meeting
hymn, which was very much appreciated.
Mr. 5. L. johnson made an address of ten
or fifteen minutes The evening was
brought to pleasant close with duet by
Mesdames Lewis and Chivington.

THE TROUBLE AT GUTHRIE.

United States Marshal Grimes, OF Okla
homa, was in the city last night. He was
found by an EAGLE reporter at the home
of ex-Sheriff Hays, and was interviewed
concerning the trouble that occurred at
Guthrie yesterday afternoon, a detailed
account of which appears in the dis
patches this morning. He stated that
much bad blood existed between the con-
tending factions, and in giving his account
of what he saw of the trouble, he said:
About fifteen minutes before my train
left Guthrie, one of the proprietors OF the
Territorial National bank, in which the
county records were placed, came runnin z
into the Noble hotel, where | was. very
much excited. and requested me TO go
down 10 the bank and try TO protect has
nronerty, IS a mob had broken into the
building aud were trying to force their
way into the vault where the records
were | went at once TO the scene. where
quite a crowd were gathered. and gained
admission to the bank. j asked the crowd
to disperse and leave matters as they were
until the arrival of Chief Justice Green.
Upon examination found they had dug
through the wall Of the vault and had
possession Of the records. The crowd was
very orderly, though The sherif-elect
was present. and assured me that every
thing would be kept orderly. aud that AS
the county had possession of the building
by lease the county commissioners mad
ordered such action and they would repair
the building was compelled 70 leave az
oncs 10 oome to Wichita, and did not see
what the ultimate outcome was"
Upon the question as 70 the validity OF
the election Of she new men, Mr.. Grimes
said he had never investigated che law re-
earding the matter upon which the cid
officers are making their claims but IN his
opinion the parties that were elected should
have the Offices 10 which a majority of the
people had called them. and he understood
that so far the several judges Fave so de

Ahont Disnlayed Goods.

There is an old English law, / am told,
whereby a '.shopkeeper" can be COM
PEELED to take from his show window
and sell at the price marked any article
customer points out. Several COM
paratively recent arrivals in this coun-
try have cited this to me, and kicked
with both feet because Of refusals to
spoil show window display by taking
a pair of shoes Of brand and size OF
which there are hundreds in stock. As
far as can learn the enactment was IN
tended to prevent the manufacture OF
samples for windows and the palming
of On persons attracted thereby OF
something equally as good"
However true it may be that the old
English common law regards the price
on an article in a window as a contract
between the store owner and any paSser-
by who tenders the money, there is Nc
such ordinance or law here. Often peo-
pie insist on having something from the
window, and decline to accept its exact
duplicate. In that case, if the article Is
an expensive one, we strain the point
and get it down; but if it is something
low priced we give the customer the al
tentative Of taking duplicate or
nothing. in ST. Louis Globe

Self LockiE Envelopes.

Doctors have invoighed against the
dangerous gum which is used on some
envelopes, and mlshaps have been fire.
quent as the result of damping the gum
on envelopes with the tongue. All pos
sibility of such accidents is removed by
the automatic lock envelopes which have
been patented. On the flap Of the en-
velope are two projecting fianges, and
ali that is necessary to do to close the
envelope is to fold these tlanges by ready
stamped lines, and insert the flap thus
narrowed in a slot provided, whereupon
the folded fanges automatically lock
themselves in the slot, and the envelope
cannot be opened without tearing 1t.
The operation sounds much more com
plicated than it really is in practice, for
one of these new envelopes can be closed
as readily as the better known gummed
envelopes. -New York Telegram

OUR PUBLIC -CHOOLS.

To the Editor Of the Eagle
What a great factor they use in farming
and directing the future of our men and
women. Perhaps there is no man living
today but what IN some way or in some
course has been Influenced by the teach
ing he received in his school days. The
responsibility OF the teacher is great one
and he or she should ever bear in mind
they are leaving their thought, their in
fluence their character stamped more or
less upon the mind under their instruc-
tion. Above all "A teacher should never at
tempt to teach a branch of study
he is not familiar with and
on which be can give true and correct ex-
PLANTATION. The other day | overheard
some Of Tr school girls talking and one
said to other: In our physiology class
today th> instructor said the human eye
would be taken out and laid upon the
cheek and then replaced, with vision as
| good as ever; that science had demon
strated the possibility of ENGRAVING the
eye of an animal in the place of the human
eye, and that it would live and soon give
sight almost as well as the natural eye
did and in answer to the ques-
ton, How are artificial eyes fixed
| in the sockets' He answered.
"By a wire in the inside corner" and the
question. What is the cornea of the eye?"
The answer was, The white part of the
eye" If this be true that such person
gives such instruction, he should be taken
through a course of examination and
made to feel the necessity of informing
/ himself before imparting instruction to
others. Mere girls knew better than that
teacher, for they were making him the
the subject of ridicule and fun; and when
the speaker who WAS addressing the audi
ence lifted his ewes in appeal these girls
would say, On. look at the cornea of
his eye His eve is nearly all cor
nea l would have given an oyster
supper to have had that teacher present
to have heard them, and 1t would have
been greatly to his benefit. Another one
said: Il think it was disgraceful that
Miss Blank should read a note before the
whole sc DOL which she received from
lady regarding her child" Now the fact
was. a lady had made a request, in writ
ing. of this teacher, In regard TO some
trivial matter concerning her child, and
the teacher made ridicule of the matter by
publicly reading the note before the school,
thus bringing the child under taunt and
derision, and offending the parents
Such things as these should always
be respected and strictly conf
Dental A teacher should be polite enough
to respect the request of parent by
silence at least, If she would rot comply
wit h il, and particularly when the parent
reposes conf ence enough IN the teacher
to communicate her wish in polite note
Politeness is jewel in any one-under all
cirCumstances-aud when 1t is dlsregarded
in the schoolroom and by one we depend
upon TO teach our children, the sooner
such one is disposed of the better it will
be for our school and all concerned.

corps of teachers as any city, but some
times Il mistake is made by he board in get

THEY WANT PROTECTION.

In the course of a conversation yesterday
one of the prominent produce commission
men said that the people in his line want
ed the city council to pass an ordinance
imposing license of $50 per annum on the
produce commission business. The gentle
man said that many might think 1t
strange. but the different commission firms
of the city had petitioned the council to
pass such an ordinance. He gave as rea-
son that the resident commits sion firms
considered it a protection from outsiders
who would. for instance run in a car load
of potatoes or apples, and using the Car
for a warehouse, proceed to peddle out their
stuff at prices that the people doing BUSH
ness and paying rents could not compete
with.
The gentleman said that the petition
had been sent to the council and had been
referred to the committee on license, but
nothing more had been heard from il and
be would like TO see some disposi ton
made of it.
The gentleman said he was willing to
compete with all who wished TO enter in
the business on an equal footing with
himself-that is pay rent and small IL

Professor Lanes Famous Ability.

Among men of letters the most promi-
nent ambidexter is probably Professor
George Martin Lane, pope professor of
Latin in Harvard. 1t is his habit to
stand facing the middle of the black
board. He begins to write a sentence
with his left hand, and runs along until
he reaches point in line with his face.
Then he shifts the chalk from his LETT
hand to his right, and continues writing
until he reaches the end of the black
board. When calling the roll the str-
dents know by the motion Of t,le pla-
fessor's hands just the mark he intends
to make.
He writes with his right hand until he
comes to scholar who answers mot
prepared" The pen is instantly changed
from the right to the left hand. Every
body knows that means q goose egg.
Professor Lane IS noted for being one OF
the finest Greek and Latin scholars in
America. His most famous contribution
to contemporaneous literature, however,
is little out of this line. He is the
author of that piscicultural epic, The
Lone Fishball.'

COL. STEWART ON THE "ADMIRATIoN
SOCIETY

Col. Stewart has an article in the w est
ern Veteran" that will stir up the Grand
Army of the state from center to circum-
ference He goes for the Mutual Admir-
alton society of Topeka in masterfui
manner, and shows that Topeka by its
ambitious schemes has cost the depart
ment not less than s., 500. He deplores the
action of so-called leaders in summoning
to Topeka, during the recent senatorial
contest, the ''old boys in blue" character
izing the sight as 'pitiable." He says that
the G. A. r. is boomerang in politics
Staying more than it saves"
Laying aside its most prominent fea-
lures of a drubbing to Topeka and to poll
ticians who have sought to use the q. A
X. as catspaw, the recommendations OF
the past department commander are most
admirable. The article is too lengthy for
a thorough review. but every Grand Army
man should read what Col. Stewart has to
say about the Grand Army in Kansas. A
letter was received by Col. Stewart from
one of the most prominent officials of the
