STATUS OF THE ANTI-oP1ioN BILL.
A Majority in Its Favor, but Its Prospects
of Passage Poor.

OF faSs0Ge ROOF
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S.-Many inquiries
are being received as to the status Of the
anti-option bill. There seems in some
parts of the country fear that the bill is
dead, or as good as dead and in others a
fear that it will develop into law during
this session The status of the measure
k just this: 1t has passed the house and
Is on the senate calendar. 1t was reported
back to the senate by the senate commit
tee on agriculture without recommended
ton last session.
Washburn has tackled on an unimpor-
tant amendment which will nccessitate
further action by the house, and thereby
cause more delay should it pass the son
ate. The prospects of its passing the sem
ate are poor. They are in fact very poor
If it could be put to a vote it would doubt
less pass There is certainly a majority in
favor of the bill.

Few Know About the Shakers
of Mount Lebanon.

We may not accept their peculiar reli-
giOus views. We cannot enter into the
spirit of their sacrifices and therefore we
do not study their habits of life.
1t Is not necessary to believe as they do,
but we can and do respect their sincerity of
purpose and the honor and uprightness
which mark all their business dealings.
In one particular the Shakers excel all
other men or classes of men. This is in the
cultivation of medicinal herbs and plants.
They have made it Il study for more than
one hundred years. They are also expert
in extracting from them their character
is their peculiar industry Their lives have
been devoted to it. BY it they are sup
ported. They excel in this branch as do
the monks of the order of St. Benedict with
their famous liqueur called "Benedictine,'
Now, this lifelong study on the part of
the Shakers has not been in vain. They
have accomplished much good. Their medi-
cinal extracts and cordials are known
throughout the world.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is probably
the most useful medicine ever given to the
public. 1t is not a cure for all diseases; it
doesn't pretend to be; but one disease it
Will cure, and that is Indigestion. 1t is not
pretended that it will cure anything else,
the result. The effect is immediate. Almost
the first dose will give relief, and, if con
tinued, permanent cure will follow.
Every druggist has been sent supply of
our handsome Donkey Puzzle Books and "A
copy may be had for the asking. 1t tells
all about the Cordial as well as LaXol, the
new castor oil.
Try twenty-five cent bottle of Digestive
Cordial and see what it will do for you.

Father Marion had many callers Sunday
night to say good bye, among them the
Governor and Mayor; and many others,
while regrettiGg his absence from the
field in which he has labored so effec-
lively and usefully, wish HIM pleasant
and profitable experience in his new
work.
Father Marion said he disliked to say
farewell to the many kind friends he
had made here, and that with only
happy expectations at Asheville, Raleigh
would yet always have a warm place in his
heart. Father Marion's mother goes
with him to Ashevile.

z hree Visiting Ciergymen.

Yesterday morning Rev. DR.. P. Fl.
Hoge, Of Wilmington, preached at the
Presby t. rian church on the subject of the
martyrdom Of Christ. DR.. Hoge comes
from a race of preachers, bis father hav-
ing been considered by many the equal
in pulpit power of the present DR.. Moses
D. Hoge, o. Richmond. Young Dr.
Hoge comes near combining the qualities
Of the three IN some measure. He brought
to the beginning of his work exquisite
scholarship, and in his presence and
spirituality the eloqneuce of the bible
goes hand in hand with his acute exposi-
ton of it. HIS sermon Sunday morning
was impressive ard much enjoyed by all
who heard it.
Rev Mr. Tuttle, tho brother of the
pastor, Rev D. Fl. Tuttle, preached at
the Central Methodist Church Sunday
night Mr. futile is a young man of
much promise as evidenced by his ser
mon here Sunday.
Rev. Mr. Lacy preached morning and
evening at the Presbyterian Church
Sunday before last, and DR.. Daniels in
few words at night told with much feel
ing how he had listened with such Joy
to the services of the day. Mr.. Lacy is
practical talker, one who talks in
way to make one listen and to make his
listener remember what he says. He
clinches what he says clean and clear,
and with all his directness, he has
poetic side which vas beautifully in evil

In Menoriam.

Entered into rest at her home in Raj
eigh N. O., Aug. 7th, 1895, Miss Kate
BOylan in the nth year Of her age. In
the historic home OF her father, william
Boylan, she was born, livid and died, her
attachment to her birthplace being SO
strong that the will Ct GCd alone could
serve to separate her from the place she
loved as the scene of her happy child
hood.
To those who knew her well she re
presented the embodiment of those
qualities which mark the true Christian
woman and commands the admiration
and respect of men. Possessing rare in
telGgence and nature at once sympa-
thetlc and magnanimous, she strove
religiously to relieve the wants
of her fellow beings and no one,
not even the loWlest supplicant,
was ever forced to look to others
for the comfort which it was within her
power to give Her charity was of that
purest kind which gave without desire
of reward other than the personal salts
faction which it produced and heart
felt conviction of duty well performed.
In her life was exemplified the faithful
perform nance Of that divine injunction
Bear We one another's burdens and so
fulfil the law of Christ"
Brightness of intellect and originality
of thought were the qualities which
made her ever pleasant compan-
ion, charming hostess and most
respected adviser and which endear-
ed her to so many whose memory
of her is as of an angel once seen and
never to be forgotten. Indulgent to a
fault and with patient endurance and
forgiveness of the faults of others, her
sympathetic nature found true response
in the hearts of children, who loved her
with the trust and confidence which only
a child can feel A true disciple of
Christ's teachings, she so lived that she
was gathered unto her fathers, having
the testimony of good conscience in
the confidence of certain faith; in the
comfort of a reasonable, religious and
holy hope; in favor with God and in
perfect charity with the world For such
life as hers,
"There is no death. The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in heavens jewelled crown
They shine fOrevermore.
There is no death, but angel forms
Walk DER the earth with silent tread
They bear our best loved things away
And then we call them dead"

MORE BLUNDERSO OF THE FUSION
LEGISLATURE
Chapters 70, 2I4 and 233, Laws oil
1895.

Three Bird Laws for Dayidson-see
Chapters 76, 214 and 233, Laws of
1926.
The Fusion Legislature passed law
which is chapter rs of the Laws of 1895,
ratified February 10, 1895, repeating the
bird law as to Davidson county. 1t re
pealed chapter 172 of the Laws of 1895,
which made it unlawful to trap, net or
hunt partridges or quails with guns or
dogs on the lands of another, in David
son, and other counties therein named,
without permission from the owner OF
the lands, under a penalty of ten dollars
fine or five days Imprisonment.
The same august body passed a law
which is chapter 214 of the Laws of
1895, ratified March II, 1895 for the
protection of birds in Randolph and Da-
wilson
The same august body passed law
which is chapter 239 of The Laws of
1895, ratified March ~, 1895, for the
protection of birds IN Davidson ard
Randolph.
The provisions of the last two laws are
precisely the same. They make it a
| misdemeanor, under penalty of ten
dollar fine, for anyone to kill or shoot
cartridges, quails or wild turkeys III
these counties between the first day of
April and the first day of October in each
| year.
Under these laws any one may trap r
net birds but cannot kill them. There
| is nothing to prevent trapping and net
| ting birds to be sold alive. That is the
way they are destroyed. Why was the
law so changed as to allow the trapping
of birds-the most destructive way OF
annihilating them
| And if such change was necessary why
did 1t require two acts of the same legis
lalure to effect that purpose2 Davidson
was well represented, in numbers, in the
Fusion legislature. She had three mem
bers one representative and two Sena-
| tors-one bird law to each member.
How did they divide the honors? OF
which law is each the father Of course
they consulted and agreed on all legisla-
ton effecting the county they repre-
| sented.
The persons injured by these laws are
the farmers owning land with cartridges
on it; and the only persons benefited
are the State printers, who get pay for
printing two acts of the legislature, the
provisions of which are precisely the
same. Let the honorable members from
Davidson rise and explain.

A Call for Gold.

WASHINGTON, August l.-Tbe Treas
ury officials weree surprised this after
noon when Informed that demand had
been made on the sub treasury at New
York for a considerable sum Of gold
export. The amount exceeds two mil
lions and opens up another gap which
the Morgan Belmont bond syndicate
may feel called npon to fll One mil
ion was called for by the bank of
Montreal and upwards Of million and
quarter by the coffee importing
houses. This withdrawal does not ap.
pear in the statement to-day as the
Treasury has not been officially advised
Of the transaction. According to the
official figures issued at 2 o'clock this
afternoon, the reserve stands at Sl07,-
118,251 a loss since yesterday of
$l1S.251.
Acting Secretary Curtis says the
withdrawal indicates nothing more
thap a desire 90 the par: of the Ameri-
can importers to pay their debts as
they fall due, the export Of gold at this
season being occasioued BY the liqui-
dation of foreign accounts. The ship
ping of gold to the Montreal bank is
not. the Secretary says. an unussl
occurrence. That bank has a large
credit in New York and this call for
gold is, be thinks. on account of de-
mand for settlement. Assistant Sec
retary Curtis scouts at the idea Of any

The Watchman, of Boston, gives
the following account of the pathetic
origin of a we'll known hymn:-Dr.
Fawcett, author of the hymn, "B!est
be the Tie that Binds" was the
pastor of a small Baptist church in
Yorkshire, from which he received
only meagre salary. Being invited
to London to succeed the distinguished
Dr. Gill. he accepted, preached his
farewell sermon, and began to load
his furniture wagons for transporta-
ton. When the time for departure
arrived, his Yorkshire parishioners
and neighbors clung to him and his
family with an affection which was
beyond expression. The agony of
separation was almost heart breaking
The pastor and his wife, completely
overcome by the evidence Of attach
ment they witnessed, sat down to
weep
Looking into his face, while tears
flowed like rain down the cheeks of
both, Mrs. Fawcett exclaimed "Oh
John. John, l cant bear this, | know
not how to go!' "Nor l, either, said
he; "nor will we go; unload the
wagons, and put everything in the
place where it was before 2" The
people who had cried with grief now
began to cry with joy. He wrote to
the London congregation that his
coming was impossible; add he
buckled on his armor for renewed
tolls in Yorkshire on a salary less
forty pounds year than that which
he declined. TO commemorate this
incident in his history DR. Fawcett
wrote that hymn
