burton's application was considered. G.
A. Moore, Hallyburton's attorney, III
speaking to the question admitted to the
board that they had discretion in the
matter, and could refuse the license il
they thought the reasons sufficient.
To have shown consistency the
board should have, after that ad.
vice, refused to grant the license. In
stead of that they voted to allow the
liquor business to go to Patton avenue.
"I Am Satisfied"
1t is stated, on good authority, that
Mayor Blanton took an active interest
in the work of elccting some of the
board. The particular kind of work he
was doing is not known definitely, but
when Commissioner Wells was elected,
the mayor was seen to wave his hand
and remark, ~ am satisfied "
In addition to this work Mayor Blan-
ton is charged with having solicited sig
natures for Hallyburton!s petition, pre-
senting it to several people himself,
although he did not sign it.
There has been fight against liquor
houses on Patton avenue for long time.
In 1888 W. 0. Muller applied to the
board for license to sell liquor on the av-
enue, but was refused, the commissions
crs giving number Of good reasons. He
sued out writ of mandamus to compel
the commissioners to grant the license.
The case was taken to the supreme court.
and the commissioners were sustained.
The reasons given then by the COM
missioncrs apply now with tenfold more
force than they did at that time
Well, what is the cause of all this
Nobody but those who are on the in
side knows aud it may never be made
public. But it would make mighty inter
esting reading. There are ugly whispers
abroad already.
Some other Business.
The following business was transacted
in addition to that already published:
License to pedde in Buncombe county
was granted Jas. NJ. Freeman and A. F.
Morris, on account of their being dis
abled confederate soldiers.
Ordered that notice be given of the fill
ing of a petition for public road from
West Ashevlle corporate limits to the
forks of the road at lnanda.
Liquor license was granted kcnil-
worth Inn and Hotel Belmont on condi-
ton that they sell only to guests of the
hotels, on penalty of a revokal of the Ii
ccnse, in case Others than guests are sold
liquor.
The report of the jury laying out a
road from Long Shoals bridge to J. I
Sorrclls' was disapprovcd, and a new
jury ordered.
The road from !. B. Summers house to
Long Shoals ford and thence to iror
bridge was discontinued.
The report of the jury laying out q
road from the Methodist church on Big
Ivy to the school house on oturgi:

DID HE TRY
TO COMMIT SUICIDE?

The train which leaves the Ashevile
depot at 300 was rounding the bend
Yesterday when a man rushed to the
platform and jumped off. Fills rash
act created great excitement among
the other passengers-they all thought it
was a case of suicide. Ladies tainted,
men rushed to the platform expecting to
see his mangled form upon the track,
but the fact was he had forgotten to put
his bottle of "Buncombe Pills" in his
satchel and would not start on his jour
ney without them. He took great chances,
but he might have taken greater.

The Pleasures of Homo.

There is no earthly pleasure to be
compared with the ties Of home, for
with it is associated all that is near
est and dearest to us on earth. We
may enjoy pleasures abroad, the
friendly visit, the ride, the walk, or
the far-off journey, yet the pleasant
picture or the cup of sweetness would
fall ere tasted could we realize the
fact that we had ''looked and loved
our last" For although dazzling the
pleasures that surround us, when a
vacuum is formed, into which
thoughts can enter, the heart turns
longingly to home, as the place Of
rest and safety-the lighthouse of our
mortal pilgrimage, where we are sure
Of sym pathy in sorrow and affections
soothing balm in affection. Surely
nothing can compensate for the loss
of this center of all our tenderest
blessings, save the bright hope that
we shall again inherit a more sure
place Of rest when all earth's attrac-
tions shall have faded into insignifl-
canoe 10 our view and that immortal
standard Of hope be reared before us,
adorned with celestial light, from
which we shall be parted no more for
ever.-Hearth and Hall.

Texas side, where there are few
troops and many sympathiZers.
United States troops under Capt.
John Bourke recently defeated the
Mexican revolutioniStS, who then
crossed the Rio Grande and marched
toward Mier, stronghold Of Cara.
Here, however, they again suffered
defeat by the Mexicans and once more
recrossed the river into United States
territory. Along the line Of the Rio
Grande the United States has now
1000 troops and preparations are be-
ing rapidly made to augment them.
Between these two fires Cara seems
TO be in rather hot quarters, but the
changes in Mexican affairs are so
many and startling that we would
not be much surprised to hear of
considerable number Of Mexican
troops declaring for the adventurer.
Catarino Cara was born in Mexico
and reared in Texas. After gradual
ing from the University Of Mexico he
entered the army, but an act Of in
subordination sent him to the Texas
side of the Rio Grande. While living
in Rio Grande City he shot man
named Sebree, and is said to have
killed two customs inspectors. At
Duval, Texas, he started paper in
opposition to the Mexican Govern
ment. Disappearing for a time, he
reappeared last September at the
head Of revolutionary force, crossed
the Rio Grande into Mexico, and was
there defeated by Government troops.
Since then he has lived the life of an
outlaw until a few weeks ago, when
he again began active opposition to
the DaZ Government.

OUR FIRST BATTLE-SHIP
The Magn. ficent Oregon, Now Building In
San Francisco.

The Magnificent Oregon, Now Building in
San Francisco.
The first great modern battleship
of our new navy, to be known as the
Oregon, is now under construction at
the Union Iron Works of San Fran
cisco. This is monster, beside
which ships like the Chicago and
Newark will look small. She is one
of the three largest ships yet planned
by the Government.
The Oregon is to have displace-
mcnt of 10000 tons and will be 34S
feet long, 50 feet 3 inches wide, and
AZ deep. She will cost, exclusive Of
her armament, about 81, 900, 900. Her
minimum speed is to be not less than
fifteen knots. The hull is Of un-
sheathed steel.
Her framing will be on the bracket
system, and she will have a double
bottom extending from armor shelf
to armor Shelf and forward and aft.
The sides, from armor belt to main
deck, will be protected by not less
than five inches of steel armor.
Her armament will aggregate 631
tons. 1t includes four 13-inch breech-
loading rifles, weighing sixty tons

Land Transformed by Ants.

A traveller in Central Australia has
discovered that the surface of the
country has been greatly changed by
what may appear at first thought a
ridiculous agency-the white ants.
On plain and in thlckets their nests
are SO numerous that 1t is difficult to
drive among them. The clay with
which the nests are built is, when
cemented with resinous matter, as
hard as brick, and when the nests
fall TO pieces they form clay flats,
almost impervious to water and not
easily cut up by traffic. The work
of these creatures can be studied in
all stages; first in the thickets, where
they are commencing work; then in
the more open country, where they
have crowded cut the timber; next
on thee plains, where half the hills
will be found deserted; and lastly on
the clay flats, where they have almost
entirely disappeared and the scrub
has begun to grow again. The nests
are further remarkable for the large
proportion Of iron they contain.

practice the war broke out, and he
enlisted in the Seventy-seventh Mis-
souri, Infantry, serving as a Captain
throughout the campaigns of 1862
add 1863. In 1864 he left the army
and went to New Mexico, where he
was admitted to the bar. He also
engaged in mining and stock-raising,
and amassed a fortune. In 1866 he
was member of the Territorial
Legislature in 1868 and 1869 Attor-
ney General of the territory, and
from 1870 to 1872 United States Dis
trict Attorney. He was elected
delegate to Congress, and served
two terms from 1S73-77. 1t was while
in Congress that he formed close
friendship with James G.. Blaine. He
was n member Of the Republican
Committee for twelve years ending
1884. Since 1875 he has spent most
Of his time in New York City, though
he has made his legal residence in
West Virginia.

hang in delicate fringe all around

hang in a delicate fringe all around
the body of the bird. When the bird
is 9 months old its feathers are
plucked for the first time. At that
time they are still stiff and narrow,
with pointed tips, and do not give
any idea Of the beauty OF the later
crops. During the second year they
become much more likely, although
still narrow and pointed. But at the
third plucking they are soft and
broad, as they should be.
On the large breeding farms men
mounted on horses drive the birds
together for the picking, for the
ostriches are apt to stray far away
from home. They are driven in de-
tachments, first into large fold and
from this into very small pen, the
so-called picking-pen. In this latter
the birds are so densely packed to-
gether that the dangerous individuals
have no room for kicking, for the
ostrich has power enough in his long
legs to deal mortal blows with them.

export of ostrich feathers amounts to
$4,000, 900 per annum. Hunting the
birds has ceased entirely, for they
threatened to become extinct in some
localities, and a rational breeding is
by far the most remunerative pro-
seeding. The value Of the feathers
varies with their quality. During
the second year Of his existence a
male bird furnished $3.50, 900 worth
of first-quality plumes and about
$3.50, 900 worth Of second grade.
An ostrich farm yields from 30 to 80
per cent. on its original investment,
and in prosperous times as high as
100 per cent, says the st. Louis
Globe Democrat. The rational breed
ing of the ostrich is Of vast impOr-
lance to Cape Colony. Years ago
birds were exported to Australia with
such a favorable result that the gov
eminent of the Cape imposed tax
of $500 per bird and S25 for every
unmatched egg for expectation tariff,
in order to protect its own industry.
This killed the export entirely.
In the year 1875 the number of
tame ostriches in the Cape reached
the astounding sum OF $4,000, al
though the breeding Of ostriches was
not commenced until 1868. To-day
that number has more than doubled
itself, for in the meantime the incu-
bators have been largely improved.
During the laying season, which
comes with the end Of the rainy period,
the ostrich hen lays one egg every
other day until she has deposited
from fifteen to twenty eggs in the
sand-pile nest, quantity just large
enough to cover the same with her
body when Matching. BY gradually
taking away one egg after another, as
we do with our hens, the big bird can
be induced TO lay on an average thirty
eggs, and in exceptional cases even
sixty eggs have been accumulated.
These surplus eggs are artflcially
batched in large incubators, but the
eggs must be turned every day. In
from eight to ten days the first signs
Of life are noticeable. Shortly before
the young bird is ready to break the
shell OF his prison, which is between
the forty-ffth and fiftieth days, a
squeaking noise is heard within and
constant pecking against the shell,
which is as hard as a rock. In lit

MILES sTANDISH'S GRAVE.
1t Is Said to BE Located In "A Duxbury
Churchyard.


Churchyard.
Nathaniel Morton, secretary Of
Plymouth Colony, is authority for the
statement that Standish was buried
in DuXbury, which accords with
Standish's will, in which he asked to
be buried near his daughter and
daughter-in-law eff he died in Dux-
burrow."
Traditions Of half dozen families
Of the town, handed down from sire
to son, locate the grave in the old
churchyard between Halls and Bay
ley's Corners, and this graveyard, in
one corner OF which stood the first
church in Duxbury, is the only one
mentioned in the early records.
These traditions were to the effect,
Furthermore, that two triangular
stones marked the spot where Stand
ish was buried.
In 1889 stones answering their de-
scription were brought to light, and
in April, 1891, duly authorized per-
sons opened the supposed graves of
the Standish family and examined
the remains found therein.
Two Of the skeletons were those Of
young women, two were boys, and one
was that Of man, corresponding
with the generally accepted physique
of Standish, indicating very unusual
strength and evidently that of a per-
son well along in years
From all the facts known the
speaker, who was one of those pres
ent at the elimination, deduced the
inference that these were the graves
OF Standish, his two daughters. e.,
his daughter and daughter-in-law-
and two sons named Charles and
John, who died young.
The remains, said Mr.. Hinginn,
were carefully placed in new caskets
and reburied in the old graveyard.

FIGHTING IN TEXAS.
The Little War that Is Raging Alons IN
Rio Grandc-


The United States has little war
on hand along the Rio GrMlde, the
dividing line between Texas and Mex
leo. The fact that so many men have
risen to the Presidential chair OF
Mexico by means of military fllibus-
tering has left an influence that )
keenly felt in that territory, and thus
it is not surprising that at present we
find the adventurer, Catarino Cara,
trying To create a division that may
elevate him TO the place now filled by
President DiaZ. Did Cara cOnfine
his operations to Mexico the United
States could remain mere spectator,
but unfortunately Cara has violated
and is violating the neutrality laws
of the United States and as conse-
quence our Government is opposing
him with military force. Already
conflicts have taken place between
Garza's troops and the United States
forces in Texas.
So long as GarZa's forces arc few
there may be enough glory In a con-
flict for United States troops, but as
the Texas side of the border ab0nnds
in sympathiZers for the adventurer,
there is no knowing how many men
he may at any time become leader of,
and no doubt If able he would plum
der our border forts. GarZa's policy
is to create Il small army on the Dor
der and then march toward the CEN
ter of Mexico, trusting TO internal
disaffection with the present Govern
ment to cause a reaction in his favor
as President. AS the Mexican States
bordering on the Rio Grande are well
supplied with soldiers, CARA natural
ly is collecting his followers on the

breeder in Cape Colony compares the
young ostrich that has just cleared
its nest to hedgehog mounted on
stills and provided with a long neck.
The feathers are nothing more than
grayish bristles, while head and neck
are covered with a fine, speclSled
down, soft as velvet. A difference Of
the sexes is not yet discernible in the
plumage.
Very few ostriches are born nova
days out Of captivity, for the fashion
of the day has developed ostrich
breeding into one of the best-paying
industries, which yields handsome
revenue to several countries, es-
pecially the deserts and waste lands
of Southern Africa.
