THE JUDGES CHARGE.

Upon being sworn, the grand jury wer'
charged nv Judge Conner with regarc
to their duty as grand jurors. tt.
charge was quite able and doring l..
delivery, ctrict attention was paid By
very one IN the court room.
Judge Conner paid high tribute t.
he moral standing Of the people Of Norti
1sroln a, in that there Is much les.
crime in the state now than there hs'
been during the whole history OF tn.
ate, perhaps-cert anly within the past
hirty or forty years. He attributed thh
happy state of peace and quiet through
,ur borders to the Wholesome and elevat
in, inti uences of the christian retlgl'I
and the education Of the people Of th'
state.
The responsibility and the dignity OF
the grand jury were dwelt upon
length, showing that the safety and gen
eral welfare OF society depend largely W
on the falthfuluess with which tne gram
Jury discharges its duty.
Among the most imp rtant duties o
he grand jury, said the Judge, Is the pro
| tuction of human life. Whatever endan
| GERS the safety az hnman Ii e, and esPe
cially whatever the state has SAID IS uh
| awful in this respect, demands the mos
| careful attention Of the grand jury. The
! carving of concealed weapons wa
| shown to be one of the most danSerou'
customs, amoung auy class OF oar people
and the Judge said that he had never ye
,een any excuse for any private citizen t.
| carry a concealed weapon
| Special attention OF the grand jury wa
| called to the crime Of prostitution, which
was prom ounced by the Judge as being
one CT the most dangerous to society ii
| the whole catalogue Of CRIME. 1t IS Z
| crime with which society cannot Oxford L
tIiHe The jury was solcnnly chaIge'
TO make dlhgeut inquiry and make true
preaentmenja against all persons com
hitting crimes which tend to degrade tn
purity and virtue of woman.
Other dangerous crimes were roferret
to, and espec ally the crime OF sellin;
liquor in ways and manners against til
| statute. The crime of becoming a pub

drunkenness was strictly charged against
Special attention was directed to tn

With about thirty persons from Scot
| and Neck we boarded the Iraln on w ed
n 4sday, 25th ult., to take IN the NV
Berne Game, Fish and OsYter Fair. We
got there. but now aad when we try to
describe in anothe place, for the reason
cnat, the fair and everything pertaining
to 1t was on such a fine scale and so
tasty aud satisfactory we do not wish to
mix an account Of the fair with the miss
cradle modus operandi, or the retarded
locomotion by which we got there and
got away
a gentlemen Of extended observation
SAID t. Us that he had seen fairs from
Atlanta to Canada, and the New Berne
far is the best he has yet seem. We do
not think his estimate too high. We
are free to say that we have never seen a
air Ill the state to equal 1t. The display
Of fish, oy ster, game, truck, stock, &c,
WAS all that could be expected.
Fish of various kinds, oysters in album
dance, gume Of almosi all kinds from q
love to the finest deer, were displayed to
great advantage.
Machinery hall presented busy scene.
The industrial feature was well sustained,
The manufacture OF butter dishes, han
nerchiefs, fish nets, shuck foot mats,
spinning cotton on the old-fashioned
wheel, and various other things, showed
we'll the industries of the section. A
printing press in daily operation on
which was printed The Whale, was al at.
| tractlve feature.
Floral displays and-art exhibits were
very fine indeed. The live stock was
very fue, and the racing vas said to be
good.
| Take it all in all we do not see how the
fair could have been improved upon eX
cept in the matter of charg ing admission
fee to the grand stand. We think this {
mistake. When it was done at Raleigh
last year We entered our protest and WI
| do the same for New Berne. When th'
people from the country, and from thu
towns as well, buy ticket into the fai
grounds, they expect to see all on thu
strength of that ticket except sid
shows and such like.
The display in every way showed u
the resources and industries OF Easter
Carolina proper and the New Bern
section especially as well as it could b
done, we think.
The whole thing was arranged In quit
= tasty manner and did great credit t
the managers Of the lar.
Of course there are always some thin
at tar tat 10 not SUIT everybody; bu
: l. lie fairs in North Carolina wcUl
come 10 to expectations as we'll as tt
Nv Nesna fair, the resources of OF
grand ula state would be shown up
much more advantage than they are.
,"e hope other fairs will take lessor
form Nv Berne; and we sincerely hoI
that the Game, Fish and Oyster fair ma
crow even better still.

A DIME IN THE SLOT.
Three Ladies Who Wrestled With

Three Ladies Who Wrestled With
the Opera Glass Box.
New York Star.
saw an amusing piece of woman's
financiering at the Madison Square the
alter matinee last week. Three ladies
came in and took seats in front of me.
After few moments one of them no.
ticed the patent opera glass box and
read the notice: "Place dime in the
SLOT" etc.
She took from her purse two five-cent
pieces, pushed one in the slot, but there
was not room for the second. She tried
several times to force the second one in,
but to no effect. Suggestions as to what
to do were offered by the lady'S COM
panions, and finally they called an
usher. who explained that they must
put dime in the slot, as nothing else
would do. Then they asked him for
the nickel they bad already put in, but
he explained that he had no key that
would enable him to get it for them.
"Well," said the operator, II would
not give Is cents for the glasses-they
are not worth it.'
cpl tell you,' said one of the others,
'put in dime. and when the box opens
take out your five-cent piece"
This was stroke, they thought, and
a dime was put in. and the box opened;
the glasses were taken out, but you
never saw a more surprised trio than
this when they looked for that nickel.
where did it go to?' Feel under
the lining" and other remarks of as
sistance were made, but the surplus was
not discovered.

They were disgusted; nevertheless,
by getting themselves in all manner of

to take turns in using the glasses.

READY FOR THE WORD.
Tonight at 10 Promptly the Big
Walk Will Begin.

Yesterday the pedestrians were all
resting. all except "Old Sport" Campana
who continued to shatter the atmos'
phere with his arms and tell everybody
he CHANGED to meet that he had been
acquainted with''every man with drop
of sporting blood in his veins since the
days of Yankee Sullivan" The walk
ers rested, because at midnight sharp
tonight they will begin their tramp
ing. There was a good deal of
hustle about the big Washington rink,
where the contest will occur. The trav-
elers and their trainers were busy fixing
up their tents and getting everything in
readiness for the race. Some of them
stopped from time to time to tell their
friends what double. brass Hned, lead
pipe ''cinch" they had OH first place. A
few of them took spins on the track,
just to satisfy themselves that it was all
right, and to find out where the holes
were They didn't find any. The track
is in perfect condition and the rink is
the best place in America for such
struggle. 1t is the best for the specta-
tors, the best for the scorers and the
best for the men, since, being eight laps
to the mile, with long, straight stretches,
a walker is not required to reverse con-
stantly in order to last. Look out for
some big records.
