And youth and age at parting lay
Their hands in blessing on her head.

A changing scene of gold and gray.

Along the paths we yet shall tread,

GETTING ALONG.

The city council at its meeting last
night did what it should have done
months ago-repeal or modify the Blue
Law. Durham is not a lawless town and
there is no use to make out that she is by
passing ordinances which indicate to the
stranger that unless every curb is placed
upon our law books that lawlessness
would reign.
No honest man will advocate the sell
ling Of goods in an indiscriminate man
ner. but there are times when it becomes
necessary to health and comfort to make
some small purchase. If there is some
one man In the town who wants to act
the hog and violate all dccency by selling
anything and everything, even then there
is no good logic in saying to a stranger
that he could not buy a glass of mineral
water if he felt that he needed it. Saloons
are closed QOWn because tne gOOQS luey
sell are calculated to raise rows, noise
and general disturbance-but a fair
minded man who was not wanting to be
goodY goody must admit that a glass of
water containing acknowledged medici
nal properties is often as necessary to the
health and comfort of a man as a meal of
victuals. Hotels run and so should drug
stores-confning their traffic to a certain
degree.
And the city council after all the dilly-
dallying is to be congratulated for what
it has done. 1t is true that it but did it's
duty but it was obliged to do it in the
face of opposition from several of the
over-fastidiOus who want to make a
Sunday school out of Durham and a
poker room or something worse out Of
other towns they visit.

ing. Two other cars were to arrive to-
day. The reservoir was to be oyerhauled
this week, and all in all there is no OBJ
lection to be found with the Water com.
pany now. The past Wretched service
may be forgiven-provided always the
future finds the concern doing its duty.
This newspaper pointed out the abuses
of the water company two years ago, and
single handed it made a fight for a decent
service. But the board did not act, and
it finally became a serious and frightful
business. Now that the concern has
shown a disposition to do something ap-
preaching what is decent, this paper
wants to say that the town is with it,
just as long as it is with the town. The
present water commissioners propose to
have things their way according to law,
and nOt the way of the water company,
which has been practically unlawful.

THE damage done to the historic fields
of Gettysburg is irreparable. The cut

tracks has been carried through the fields

through the rocks of the Devils Den and

historic points which were heaped with
the dead and dying and stained with the
blood of the union soldiers have been
blasted out until the entire character of
the spot has been etfaced. Probably no
other civilized nation on the globe would
permit the Dissertation of so historic a
field for mere dollars and cents.

THE STREET COMMITTEE.

Run His Road Clear to the Ocean.

The Street Committee of the Board Of
Supervisors met yesterday.
J. Haley of the Southern Pacific Railroad
appeared before the committee ana advo-
Gated The adoption of new style OF rail for
street railways. The new. rail differs from
others by the narrowness of the hanGe, the
object being to prevent wagons from run
ming along the track. aud thereby preclude
the wheels from making rnts and destroy
ing the pavement. The committee decided
to indorse the new style Of rail and permit
Its use on the streets.
Sergeant Bunner of the Harbor Police
addressed the committee and asked that the
city bear One-third of the expense of laying
q l-Inch water pipe along the seawall from
the foot or Powell street TO the foot of
Taylor street. The Sergeant stated that
the Merchants Exchange. the police
boarding stations and the United States
Customs office had to be changed to the
new end of the seawall, and that there was
no water there. He said tie exchange and
the United States Government had agreed
each to stand one-ihird of the expense If
the city would pay the other third.
As the expense will amount to less than
500 the committee agreed to recommend
the placing of the water-ppe

peared before the committee TO eXulain the

street, for failure of which the Board of
Supervisors recently determined to take
steps to forfeit the cOmpany'> franchise.
Mr.. JOost stated that the affairs of the
company were at present in very muddled
condition. He complained that no street
work had been done on that ihorOughfare
In that locality for twenty years. He said
the railroad he represented had force of
twenty men at work making repairs, and in
a week or two the roadbed would be in good
condition.

let for grading thirteen blocks reaching

would follow the grading as Fast as IL was

are lots more such pieces out there, because
they are building brick house on the cor
ner just now"
OF course the laugh and the LIQUID penal
ties were on Jim alter tnat
Adolph Suro, the millionaire, was out on
Cnnabar ledge, too, yesterday.
Mr.. SutrO owns the hill property right
back OF McCarthy's lot, and he came cut to
deliberate on the ACCESSIBILITY of running a
Sutro tunnel through these hills.
If there is quicksilver here there is no
reason why | should not ma mountains of
IL myself said the owner Of Cliff House
statues, salt water privileges and things,
and then he went away to think the matter
over some more.
The main shaft of McCarihy's mine Is
no. some fifteen feet deep, and there are
still rich indications of cinnabar found in
the formation Of the soil.
Superintendent Hook started IN to do
some blasting yesterday.
HIS first attempt in that line was fail
ure. owing TO the fact that the fuse be used
was found defective, but when he tried il
again half e stick of giant powder loos-
eued enough soil to keep the shOYelers busy
for some time.
While the blasting process was in prog
Tess the mining sharps and would-be
experts who haunt the place scampered in
all directions. looking for safe places in
distant corners.
They doubtless expected to hear a terri
bic detonation and feared that the whole
territory would be shaken I'd, but the little
blast went off without doing any damage
and the noise it made was hardly heard.
Mccarthy has found way by which his
mining operations cost him very little.
He has leased the privilege of painting
advertisements on the fence which sur
rounds the property to an enterprisyng
gentleman, who VIII decorate Cinnahar
Ledge with glowing pictures of Good
morning. Have you used Queer's sOap?"
Waterman Collins. who is employed by
Mccarthy 10 see that nobody carries the lot
and the mine away, has a new assistant
now.
His name is Spring and he is yellow
shepherd dog.
Spring has been on duty only few days,
but already they are telling some wonderful
tories about his sagacity and his superior
knowledge in the way of cinnabar mines.
Collins himself told one yesterday, and
If it is not true one he alone will have TO
stand the consequences in the hereafter.
That dog" said lie, "knows cinnabar
rock when he sees il. and he watches every
body that comes here
If people attempt to pick up piece of
red rock Spring will come and notify me at
once, and he will point out the guilty indi-
vidual before the latter has chance to put
'his find into his pockets"
Over on Alamo square, where the graders
are at work now, some faint indications Of
quicksilver have been found lately, but o
rich discoveries have been made so far,
although the square Is very near the Nc
earthly lot
