The Actress Hero worsh p Moved the o..
Painter to a Historical Kiss.
After finishing her season in London
recently Eleonora Duse filled an engage
ment in Frankfort. In passing the larg-
est art store in the city one afternoon
she noticed in the window a picture by
DR.. Adolf Mcneil, the greatest of Ger
many's historical painters. She went in
side and bought it, saw other pictures
by Mcneil and bought them, carrying
them all away with her in her carriage.
4 few minutes after her departure
Eienzel himself stopped al the store. Ha
is almost 50 years old and for the last
generation has been receiving all the
honor and admiration that could touch
the artists heart. Nevertheless he show
ed much satisfaction when told of Duss-
fancy for his works and mumbled suu.f
words 10 the effect that the Italian az
tress was really a genius in her way

for Mcneil Is a knotty OLD fellow. WAX.
all the woman hating sentiments If a
confirmed bachelor. He bought a pc
ture Of Duse, placed it carefully in Iii
c]Oattail pocket and departed.
The proprietor Of the art store told CO.
of Menzel's friends what had happened
and the friend at once invited Duse and
Mcneil TO his house to meet each Other
al dinner. Each came OVERLOOKING with
admiration for the other. Menzel know
no Italian, and Duse knows no German.
So the conversation was limited 20
shrugs of the shoulders, wavings of the
hand and mutually unintelligible ex-
carnations. When the time for parting
came. Duse threw off the reserve Of
which Americans heard SO much during
her American tour, seized the old mans
hand and tried 10 ~aiSe It 10 her hps.
Mcneil struggled to escape the houoI
and finally bowling his head kissed buses
hand. Then he fed.
German newspapers say that the kiss
was an event in the history Of art; taa.
it was the only kiss Mcneil has ever
been known TO be~tow. His new gal
lautry has been a greater revelation u

DISBURSEMENT.
On Account of Which the PastOra
Relationsis Dissolved.

Reiation.is Dissolved.
From the Greensboro Records
Rev. r. E. G. Lawson has been pas
tor Of Alamance church, six miles
southeast of Greensboro, Cor some
time.
AS far as the outside world has
known the relations existing between
pastor and people have been of the
most cordial nature. We understand,
in fact, that nothing did occur to dis
turb this state of affairs until quite
recently.
According to the information at
hand 1t is said that the trouble arose
about a horse. Some one informed
Mr.. Lawson that boys in the neigh
borhood were in the habit of going to
his stable after night, taking the
turning him to the stable. This nat
urally incensed the pastor and he
went on tour of investigation.
Exactly what caused further trouble
we are unable to state, but In the
course OF such investigation "sides
were TAKEN" and general bad feeling
arose, so much SO that yesterday a
meeting OF some of the congregation
was held here for the purpose Of eth
er looking into the matter or to ask
for Mr.. Lawson's resignation.
Anyway the investigation didn't
get far; Mr.. Lawson, hearing, we in
fer, OF the meeting sent in his resigna-
tion as pastor of the church and ended
the matter at once.
Under the circumstances we suppose
this is best, not that Mr.. Lawson is in
fault or the congregation, for we know
nothing about the matter; but in
church disagreements the shortest
way out is the best.

OUR FISHING INTERESTS.
This State has Better AdvantagesT Than
Any,Other in the Union.

This State has Better Advantages Than
AnyOther in the Union.
North Cardinals fishing interests
are great and now that the plan of
restocking the streams with young fish
of the choice kinds from hatcheries
has been proven feasible and very sue
cessful, there is no telling to what
limit the industry may be made to
grow.
A Washington correspondent of the
Raleigh News and Observer gives
from government fish commission re-
lating to the industry in this State:
DIR. Fl. M. Smith, Of the Fish Com
mission, in preparing his report for
the past year III regard to the distri-
button of fish, says that North Caro-
lima waters are suitable to the growth
of almost every kind of fish, That
while a good many of the fish found
there now are native to North Caro-
lima waters. Several have been intro
duced that are of considerable value.
He says the commission is putting
back into the waters fish that have
almost become extinct in North Caro-
lima, due to so much fishing.
The shad he says is a native fish and
is naturally more abundant in North
Carolina streams than in the streams
of any other State. Last year there
were put into Yadkin river AIS, 900, in
Neuse river 403, 900. in Lumber river
$50, 600 and in Pasquotank river 429,.
| 600. Making total of l 100000 shad
| the government placed in North Caro-
lima in order to increase the supply
When these are turned loose they are
all the way in size from four to twelve
| inches. Another fish very abundant
] in North Carolina is the carp. This
was originally European fish, but i.
now found almost in any of the waters
of the United States.

THE NEW TARIFF.

Its Practical Effect on the Prices of a
Few Articles of Everyday Use.
The following comparative list of
prices, furnished by S. E. Allen, our
leading wholesale and retail dealer in
hardware and crockery. will well serve
to show the prices at which goods in
his lines were sold at before aud since
the new tariff went into effect and in
the main are TO be credited to the
new tariff:
Iron, tire, base sizes q c.. now c..
per ID with corresponding reduction
of C. per fb. on all sizes. Horse shoes
4 c., now 81 C. tb. Finished horse
shoes 81 c., now C. per fb., with like
reduction on mule shoes. Galvanized
barbed fence wire 3! c., now q C. per
fb. Nails c., now C. 10. Cast steel
12t c., now 10 C. tb. Trace chains 40
c., now 80 C: pair. Shot Tbs. for 25 c.,
now TBS Powder 35 c., now 25 C. ID.
Plow casting 81 c., now24 C. ID. Lewis
lead u c., now 64 c.tb. Glass s.. Is, now
So 25 per box. Rubber betting 4-inch
| 3-ply 133 C, now 104 C. per foot, with
| like reduction on all sizes. Cutlery,
pocket knives, ETC., is possibly more
materially effected than anything
else, yet the differences in prices is
| not so easily shown. Very cheap
pocket knives, foreign price less than
| 80 C. per dozen, now cost II C. per doz-
| en- duties instead of 273 C. Knives
| costing $3 per dozen, foreign price,
| were taxed a specific duty of s. per
| dozen and 80 per cent. ad valorem,
now cost So per dOz less the specif
| duty being off. On the more eXpens-
| i've goods the proportionate reduction
of duty is very much less, hence this
class is bat very slightly effected.
| TINwARE-One gallon covered buck
cts 20 c., now Is C. Half-gallon coffee
| pots 20 C, now I5 C. Twelve quart
dish pans 25 c., now 20 C. Two gallon
open buckets % c., now 20 C. Painted
toilet sets ST so, now Sl.25 each, will
like reductions throughout.
| CRoCKERY-Cups and saucers 35 tC
80 C and 45 to 40 C. per set of six
Plates 30 C to 30 c. and As C. to 40 C
per set of six. Lamps $3.50 to 81. Is
so C. to 40 c., 40 C. to 35 c., 80 c. to go C.
80 c. to 25 c., 25 C. to 20 C. each.
Indeed there is some reduction
throughout nearly the entire lines o
hardware and crockery which car
best be shown by a personal examina
tion of stock and comparison of nev
with old prices,
AS Capt. Allen is the acknowledge,
leader in low prices you will make n,
mistake to examine his stock an,
prices before buying elsewhere, as yo
may be able to save big money by dc
ing so.

olina-Let the Question be A2-
itated-Our Circuit.

From the Greensboro Record
Now that many of the counties are
making arrangements to work con.
victs on the public roads, thus effect
ing great saving to the counties, the
next question is how to still furthe,
reduce expenses
1t is well known that before a pris
oner can be put on the roads he must
first be convicted. Almost all the
cases for which men are sentenced are
composed of class who can't give
bond and are therefore sent to jail tC
await trial. after remaining in jail
several months before court. For In
stance, four people were tried here the
other day for petty larceny. The evil
dence before the trial justice was clear
and convincing, and he could do moth
ing but send them on to court. Un.
able to furnish bail they will stay In
Jail until the December term of court,
term puts 1t to Christmas before
they can be sent out, thus making
three months in jail before trial, cost
ing the county at least 800 to feed
them alone.
The Legislature meets next January
and now is 4 good time to agitate the
question of criminal court. Wins
ton, Greensboro, Reidsvillc and Dur
ham could be merged into one circuit,
having one judge who could keep the
docketS clear.
While we have not figured on the
matter closely, it is evident that such
an arrangement would result in a
great saving to the counties concern
ed. This has been the experience Of
those places where it has been tried.
BY such an arrangement prisoners, at
the very longest, will not be kept
longer than four weeks in jail, while
the average would not be more than a
week.
Another thing would be the clear
Ing OF the civil docket, now an eye-sore
to the public. The regular Superior
Courts as now held could handle them
without trouble.
The matter is worth thinking about,
and while people generally are opposed
to more courts" yet If it is saving
to the taxpayers why not do 1T? II
nothing is to be saved, then don't
adopt it.

A SUIT FOR SLANDER.
ReY. j. Q. Moffett Accuses Rev. T. X
Brown of Wife Murder.

AsHEvILLE, N. c., Sept. 2O.-Rev.
L. K. Brown, a Baptist clergyman
and merchant Of Black Mountain
Township, has brought suit against
Rev. James Q. Motfet, of Mcdowell
county, for slander.
Mr.. Browns wife died last winter,
and he married again. He alleges
against Moffet that he has uttered
and circulated various slanderous re-
ports, among them that Brown killed
his wife.
Moffet was arrested. The bail was
fixed at $4,000. Mofret sued out a
writ OF habeas corpus before Judge
Avery, of the Supreme Court.
A hearing was had before Judge
Allen, at Morganton, and the bail re-
duced to $1,000, which Mofret has
given. The case will probably be
heard upon its merits before the Bun
combe Superior Court, next December.
Both men have had good standing
in their churches and in their respec-
tive communities. Moffet denies that
he uttered the slander.

TROUBLE IN STOKES COUNTY

A Young Band of DesperadOes-Rock
Houses and Persons.
A young band of desper ADDE'S has
been discovered near Danbury, Stokes
county.
Rocking houses and people appears
to be their trade or profession. When
one of their number is offended some
body is certain to hear rocks whiZZing
through the air, and the law-breakerS
are said to have no regard for inno-
cent parties when they get to throw
lug stones.
The Reporter says that the 'band"
opened its war last Saturday night
when several persons were injured at
a tobacco barn near town. After the
Stone-throWers left the the tobacco
curers procured guns.
On Monday evening, before dark,
another attack was made on the to
bacco- curers by the outlaws who made
stones fly thick and fast.
The sheriff was notified who, with a
posse of dozen or twenty well-armed
men, appeared around the tobacco
barn campfire. Nothing daunted
the desperadOes commenced huring
stones at the crowd, regardless of
whom they killed or wounded. The
sheriff'S posse returned the shots from
heavy pistols, and double-barrelled
shot guns in the direction from which
the rocks came, but just as soon as the
firing would cease rocks would COM
mence falling around among the posse,
occasionally striking man. Soon a
charge was ordered when the sheriff's
men pushed forward, firing as they
went, keeping up the fight to Moody's
house above the church near half a
mile.
About the same round was gone
through with Tuesday night. Wednes-
day morning several of the ruffians
were seen when an effort was made to
capture them The stoning brigade
even threw rocks at sections of the
sheriff's posse while hunting them
Five of these supposed to be interest
ed in these daring lawless acts were
arrested and lodged in Jail Wednesday,
and it was supposed that the lawleSs
proceedings were over, but number
of stones were thrown at persons
about their own business from thick
cts even before Sundown, and at night
| the sheriff's posse, while attempting
| to capture ,toughs, were stoned. In
! the different engagements quite a
number of the sheriff's posse were
wounded by rocks striking them.
The Danbury people answered fairly
| well to the sheriff's call for aid but
| there were few who could not even
| let their guns go to aid in putting
down these disgraceful proceedings.
| The Reporter thinks the officers OF
| the law should take this thing in hand
| and nip it in ,the bud, or else very
soon there will he regular organ
| lied band of cut throats in Stokes not
| second to the Lowry band.
