The general comment on the
low prices we are asking for our
millinery this season is not
surprising to us. We knew
that, when we marked them, but
we are in accordance with the
demand for stylish, pretty goods
at medium prices. The standard
of quality is the same for
which we have always been
noted, but the figuring on all
have dropped. For instance.
the quality of hat we have sold
in seasons past at So is now
sligo. On $1.5O and $1.75
hats the price is S1.33. For
SIC and ST. hats, we now ask
soc. It's the same with flowers,
ribbons, laces, rhinestone and
fancy ornaments. Everything
i'm our store in fact, has felt the
change.
We have roses, made of velvet
and silk, three in bunch for 15
cents, that were made to sell for
25 or 80 cents. It's your op-
p0rtunity to get the best at the
prices of the cheap.
This week our work rooms are
very busy with Easter orders. Tt
takes time to turn out the work,
so see that we have your orders
early, and we will see that you
haye.a pretty hat for Easter.

PEOPLE SHOULD LEARN.

The sooner people learn that Dur
ham is not an asylum for all the poor
the halt, the lame, the blind of every
land and cline, the better it will be for
them. On Friday morning man
named Goodwin, his wife and four
children walked out of town with their
former home in Chatham county as
their destination. Ten weeks previous
without notice, they set foot on Dur
ham soil, expecting work at big figures
at once. The factories, the shops and
the stores were all found well
filled and soon they began to draw on
the charitable for help,
Durham is a hustling, bustling
thriving, enterprising town. 1t is per
haps doing more to build up the waste
places than any other community in
the State, but it would prove wisdom
in other sections to keep some of their
poor and needy at home.

OUR JURY SYSTEM.

In speaking of the failure of a
Jury to agree in the case of Mrs
Winchester. who sued the city Of
Walla WalIa for damages for fall
ing through a defective sidewalk,
the Union says:
In the face Of such farcial court
proceedings, the same class of men,
who constitute our intelligent jur
les, argue and wonder what makes
our taxes 50 high. This jury sys-
tenn will have to be reformed, or
else it will have to be abolished.
By this. we do not claim that the
verdict in this case was unjust, but
that it failed in its mission. To
disagree is a small job; anybody
can do that, but to agree and meet
the wants Of justice, requires calm,
deliberate and patriotic men, who
will make it an aim to come to
some final conclusion, satisfy judge
and litigants, have some snap about
them, walk into court with a sealed
verdict, and not with that far away
look and tired feeling, and let the
foreman stand up like an eXclama-
ton point and timidly falter;
Judge, we can't agree. Of course
such results are sometimes quite
legitimate and are even expected,
but when the thing becomes chronic
the people mourn, because it's them
that have to pay for all this funny
(0 business. A jury that can't
agree ought to get no pay, for what
has it accomplished? Perhaps it
took meal or two at the restau-
rant or a walk around the block,
but that's not business. II fury
men had to serve without pay, as
they doin California, where no man
dares to refuse to serve, 1t would be
one step toward reform, but as it is,
it's that unsatisfactory system still,
which to-day troubles the taxpayer
more than free silver or the tariff

boiler room aud ordered that the whistle
be blown to start the works. Tho rope
attached to the whistle was pulled and in
| stantly there was a fearful explosion.
The big iron smollestack oil the boiler
house was blown high in the air, and fell
across the roof of the shop and the tall
brick chimney falling III u thousand
pieces crushed the engine room beneath it.
| When the smoke and dust cleared away a
scene of wreck and rain was revealed.
Men hurried from all parts of the town
aud the work of removing those buried
under the ruins was commenced imme-
| diateiy. The piteous cries of the injured
| pinned under the debris urged the res
cllers ON to rapid work and in short time
| the bodies Of four men had been removed
and six OF the injured had been taken out.
1t was then found that one of the four
| boilers had been blown to pieces, CONF
pletely wrecking the boiler house and
demolishing several sheds nearby. The
head of the boiler fell 800 yards from the
tannery. and the boiler tubes were scat
tered in every direction.
