SUITS DROPPED.

Our readers will recall the suits
brought by J. l.. c. Bird, Of Mcdowell
county, against James T. Griffin,
editor of the Marion Free Lance, for
publishing an article rejecting upon

which it appears that Mr.. Griffin got
rather the better of it. Propositions
looking to a settlement of the matter
having been made TO Mr.. Griffin (who
is now located at Pond Creek, Okla

does not retraCt what he wrote OF

He simply apologies for having pub

UNLESS We are very much mistaken
those of our exchanges which are
running the advertisements sent out
by William Wattenberg, Il Park
Row, New York City, will not receive
pay for their trouble. In the first
place he is evidently interested in the
"HIearth and Homes Publishing
Company" same address, which he
desires to advertise so extensively ;
and in the second place the advertise
mcnt bears the stamp of fraud upon
its face Our advice to publishers is
10 have nothing to do with Mr.. Will
liam Wattenberg. Even if they should
get pay for their work they can not
afford to be party to deceiying and
defrauding their readers.

HUMANE SOCIETIES NEEDED.

Frequently we see and read OF acts
that demonstrate the importance Of
organizing societies for the prevention
Of cruelty to animals. Two cases have
come to our notice within the past ten
days which are brutal and heartless. A
Wilmington whiskey drummer hired a
horse from a Scotland Neck liveryman
one day last week and drove him
to Enfield and back, making the
return trip, IS miles, in the heat of
the day in less than two hours. The
horse died shortly after reaching town.
Last Sunday at Durham party of half
dozen Sunday jewellers secured team
and drove them during the intense
heat under whip in such an unmerciful
manner that one of the horses died
and the other was ruined. In both
cases the parties were arrested and will
be dealt with by the law. In the
matter of societies for the prevention
of cruelty to animals, parties are
always punished where they exist,
whereas only the worst cases are
brought to justice by the State laws as
in the above, where there are no
societies to report them.

A Watermelon Enter,s Flight.

Al Winn, a 60-year-old colored man liv-
ing ut $500 South Broadway, submitted
TO peculiar operation at the City hos
pital for peculiar ailment. Ii was the
cutting out of 1000 watermelon seeds
from his internal mechanism.
The old man had been in watermelon
patch over In East st. Louis He was en-
joying himself finely, when he was dis
turbed by the approach of some one. Selz-
Ing large, fine green melon, he "lit out. I"
He soon realized, though, it would be i'm
possible to carry that melon very much
longer. IL 1t was only on tho inside, how
ever, it would DO all right With this
thought in his mind he began to throw
huge chunks Of melon down his throat,
still running like deer. He didn't stop
to chew. He didn't even stop to spit out
the seeds. Winn has mouth like the
opening of n coal mine, and "everything
went" into its black depths. When the
old man concluded he was out of dan
ger he stopped running andfound that the
entire big melon was gone, lie did not
experience any particular Inconvenience
from his gigantic meal for a couple of
days. Then he had the "worstest" stom.
ach ache he ever had. He was doubled
up with horrible cramps for day and
then came to the hospital. DIR. Marks cut
Winn open and got quart of seeds.-St.

LoNDoN.-Gladstone in letter to the
Chairman of the Midlothian Liberals,
thanks him for the generous desire that
he (Gladstone) shall not cease to repre-
sent Midlothian. He refers to his career,
and says it has certainly been chargeable
with many errors of judgment, but he
hopes it has been governed by desire
for strict justice. He says he rejoices to
think that Scotland has done battle for
the right. The masses, he declares, owe
their present political elevation to the
principles, Love of liberty for all, with
out distinction of class, creed or coun-
try" Gladstone laments 1.-THE discrep-
ancy of sentiment" between the two
Houses of Parliament, and concludes by
saying he feels convinced that until the
Just demands of Ireland are satisfied the
Empire will not have attained the max
imum of its union and power. "Nor
will British honor be effectually cleared
OF the deepest historic stain ever attached
to it,"

greater sternness, saying in an imperative
way, Gas, quick, quick, quickp NV

Sieepihg' There was no gas there
Down stairs he hurried, looked into the

arrived Swede girl who came that day to
40 housework, who was sleeping on tho
1hlrd noor. Up stairs he sprang with q
pound, and as he neared the door he de-
tected the gas. He broke into the room
and found it filed with gas. In the still
ness he could hear the heavy, labored
breathing OF the girl on the bed.
lie saw no time was to be lost. Down
on his knees he got, and keeping his face
as close to the floor as possible, he crawl
ed to the window which he opened. He
linen reached for the girl, and catching
her arm, which was hanging over the side
OF the bed, pulled her to the floor and
through the open door to the next ROOM
where restoratives were applied. The girl
was asphyxiated and in Is minutes more
would have been dead. 1t took several
days for her to recover. She had tried tho

with almost fatal results. My friend tells

NJ. Casimir-Perier, the French Premier,
Sways the Senate.
PARIs.-The crisis which was threat
ened by the action OF the Senate in re-
fusing to take action on the measure
which had previously passed the Cham
Der of Deputies, creating a Ministry of
Colonies instead OF leaving that depart
ment directed, as has been the case up
to the present, has been averted, and
Premier Casimir-Perier is again yictori-
GUS. When the Premier learned of the
failure to act upon the matter referred
to, he promptly called n special session
of the Senate and allowed it to become
known that he would not remain in
power without vote of confidence on
the part of the Senate. In the Senate
after a conciliatory speech from the
Premier the Chamber of Deputies bill
creating a Ministry OF the Colonies was
approved by vote of 225 to 80, and
later the Senate agreed to the grant
asked for in regard to the creation of
this new ministry by vote of 3l6 to 81.
The Premier was warmly congratulated
by friends upon the result OF the affair.

that they were getting near the dyna-

plosive had lost its power after so many
weeks in water. Three divers were down
when the explosion came. Ten men
were out in u boat over the spot where
the divers were at work. Some fifty men
were at work at the docks. The cause
OF the explosion is not known exactly.
