There is q capital story being
told of dcservedly popular Judge.
lie lives on the Great Western line,
and week or two ago entered a
train at Paddington, which went
right through to its destination
without stopping. This meant
that the worthy Judge would fly
through his own station, about
twenty miles down. He did not
wake up to this fact until the I'm
miliar scenery near his station told
him where he was, and the rate the
train was going how ne was situa-
ted. Quick as lightning he pulled
one Of the alarm bells, and the
train drew up at the station. The
guard rushed TO the carriage.
"Who pulled the alarm" cried
the guard.
al did" replied the Judge.
"What for?''
because / wanted to get of. -
The guard thereupon made some
remarks to the Judge more forclble
and less respectful than he was ac-
customed to hear. His Lordship
thereupon complained to the sta
tionmaster, who told him that he
would inquire into the matter.
When next theyGmet the Judge
asked the stationmaster If he had
reported the guard for his inso-
lence.
i spoke to him, my Lord, whom
he came through on the slow train,
he replied.
Well, what did he say"
Well, my Lord, he said he would
come up some day and adjourn
your court
The Judge appreciated tho man s
witty way Of saying that he had
the right to control his own train
ard did not pursue the matter

Why We Should Have a Force Bill al

POLICE DID NOT INTERFERE AT AL

and the Man Finally Escapes
from the City,

Mr.. \. l.. Butt, publicly and without
any prOvOcatiOn that we could see, did
on last night at Stokes hall hang man
and not one of the audience present en-
tered protest, and Mr.. Butt did not ex.
hibit much feeling in the matter. Some
Of the police officers of The town, who are
generally willing to perform their whole
duty, were present, but not one inter.
ceded in behalf Of the condemned cul.

BY the scaTOld were the preacher and
the sheriff, and guard stood around
The condemned man was not allowed to
speak word. The black cap was drawn
over his head-all is still as death The
sheriff raises his axe and lets it fall-the
rope is severed-the drop falls and with
a shrug or two Of the shoulders and a
movement of the legs, the man is ushered
into the-we know not where.
Parties, who did not witness the awful
scene, know nothing of the solemnity of
such an occasion.
Mr.. Butt, the man who perpetrated
this awful deed, is still at large If the
authorities at Raleigh will be on their
guard they can catch up with him.
He is not considered a dangerous man
nor does he look like a man who would
wilfully do such an awful deed. He is
very bold. He goes so far as to make a
speech before he executes the criminal
whom he will not allow TO speak
However, if Mr.. Butt comes back to
this place again, though he has commit
ted an heinous crime, our people will
overlook this deed and receive him with
open arms.

Roanoke College.

The catalogue of Roanoke college for
the 39th year, pamphlet of 50 pages,
sets forth in detail the courses of study
and various advantages offered by the
college, while the eight beautiful views
accompanying the catalogue show that
this institution is most fortunate in its
situation. Few colleges offer so much in
solid literary advantages, in social and
religious privileges, in healthfulness of
climate and beauty of surroundings.
While giving full courses in ancient Ian
guages, mathematics and philosophy,
Roanoke is meeting modern demands by
providing practical laboratory work in
chemistry and physics and extended
courses in French and German and in
English language and literature. There
are also commercial and preparatory
courses. For the advantages offered, the
college is very economical. The number
of students increased last year and there
were twenty graduates. During the sum-
mer the college buildings will be greatly
improved.
Roanoke draws its students from many
states, Indian Territory, and several for
eign countries, and its graduates may be
be found IN thirty states and four foreign
lands. The catalogue and illustrations
will be sent free on application to the

were approved without debate, hat the
recommendation in favor of Sundas
Worlds fair was opposed by Miss kenny,
the only female delegate present. It was
finally indorsed-54 to 10

The project to establish an official organ
was defeated and then the question Of a
labor congress at the Worlds fair was
brought up by the recommeudatSou that
the constitution be altered SO rs to hold the
next meeting during the last week 10
August. Delegate Weissmann, the radical
representative OF the bakers union, strenu.
ously opposed the project as impracticabie
owing to wide divergence Of aims and
opinions between the working people on
America and other countries. To test the
sense of the federation motion was offered
that the organization participate in an In

hour of adjournment the discussion was
