eral Malone, who. 1t is said, spoke for
over one hour In opposition TO the Repub-
lican party OF Virginia forming any coali-
ton with the PopUlists In the State cleo
ton next fall The committee appeared
to favor the views expressed by General
Malone, and II can be safely said that
the committee will recommend that the
party form no coalition with the Third

they may think best.

ASHEVILLE. N. c.. August l2.-Special.
Rev. j. .. Adams, OF the French Broad
Baptist church, this city, has resigned

to the congregation, as Mr.. Adams had

heightened by Mr.. Adams omission to give
any reason for the step. Il Is probable
the condition Of his wifes health has had
great deal 10 do with the pastors de-

been In feeble health ever since last

Good Investment for England.

The extraordinary success OF the pur-
chase Of the Suez canal shares, viewed
as speculation, was brought out IN a
statement made by the Chancellor OF
the Exchequer in the House Of Com
mon Monday night in answer 10 a ques-
ton by Sir T.. Ashmead- Bartlett. The
shares were bought for 100000 pounds
in 1915. Since then 1885 .000 or nearly the
whole sum. has been paid off by the sink
Ing fund. But the present value Of the
shares Is l7,S50.DO pounds. Therefore
there has been a net gain on the trans
action Of say 10000 pounds. But in a
year from now the shares will have n
right TO receive a dividend, which IL
is quite possible may be at the rate OF
II per cent. That is. the shares. the cost
Of which will have been redeemed, VIII

When all the world IS bright and CAV.
When sorrow ne'er stops upon her way.
To the far-om isles beyond the day.
It's then that love is born
When darkness hangs abreadth the land
Save for the rays from starry band
That shine alike on maid and man.
IT'S then that love is born.
When within some shadow deem
Thou art by heron self same seat
Whispering words so soft and sweet.

A New Yorker Quietly Making Prepare
lions to Defy the Law.


Mr.. Falk, New Yorker, is registered
at the Davis House. lie Is here for the
purpose Of opening a pool-room similar
to the Turf Exchange formerly conducted
at the corner OF Twelfth and Bank streets.
IL Is reported that Mr.. Faik has rented
quarters In the neighborhood OF the cor
ner OF Ross and Governor streets, and
that the necessary telegraph wires and
other apparatus will be put In Monday,
and that Mr. Falk will at once com
mence the business OF selling pools on
the races in other cities by wire.
Shortly after the Supreme Court Of
Appeals had reversed the decision OF the
lower court. which had brought about
the closing OF the pool-room in this city,
II was said that the pool-room would
be reopened.
In order 10 prevent this, II possible.
the City Council passed an ordinance
Imposing a license tax OF $500 per year
upon any house where a pool-room is
being kept. An additional personal license
OF 5000 per year is also to be paid by
the manager of the place, and a Ike
amount for each one whom he may as
sociate with himself IN transacting the
bets TO the race track.
IL will thus be seen that Mr.. Falk. be-
sides having TO fight the State law
against this sort OF gambling. will be
subject TO a very heavy outlay. and will
nave TO do very large business TO make
his commission pay the expenses.
The matter has been worked very
quietly, and everything has been done
20 keep st from the public until the Elk
change was ready for business.
