STYLISH AUTUMN COATS.

The cloths best liked for the autumn
coats are the smooth surfaced ones in
mode, heliotrope, stem and hunters
green, dull olive, Mazarin, deep gar.
net, tobacco brown, dove gray, steel,
dull red, and, occasionally, black. In
the rough cloths navy blue, hunters
green, golden brown ond black are
noticed. The autumn coat is both
made and trimmed simply. Strapped
seams, although few are seen, are
not given the seal of approval by the
hest tailors. Large buttons, of smoked
pearl or gutta percha, are used for the
actual purpose OF fastening, but on
che plain cloth jackets few fancy but.
tons are noted. Ladies Home j Journal.

The Food of Whales.

The food of whales has long been
known to consist of minute sea crus-
tacea. Mr.. Gray was familiar not
only with the whales food, but OBJ
served it's manner of feeding, and the
way in which it took it's nap "after
meals" "No doubt" he wrote,
"whales are very particular in the
quality of their food, for they are
never to be found feeding where the
water is dirty, but almost invariably
in clean, clear, dark blue or light
olive.green water. The usual way in
which a whale feeds is to choose q
spot where the food is plentiful, and
swim backward and forward for two
or three hundred yards, with the nose
Just under water. They invariably
swim from one side of the beat back
again to where they started from,
with their mouths open. They then
close their jaws and swallow the food
caught.
They will go on in this way feeding
for an hour or more; after that they
will disappear Under the nearest ice,
and sleep there until they come out
for exercise or for another meal. Un-
like other warm blooded animals, they
do not require to breathe through
their nostrils while asleep, and they
do not do 80. Whales can sleep as
we'll under water as they do upon the
surface, as I have often seen them
disappear under solid ice and remain
there for many hours at time. Some
times they fall asleep with their heads
down and only their tails standing
out of the water. THE Spectator.

ANOTHER MARRIAGE AT WINSTON
Carr's Letter Declining the Nomination
ton Great Surprise.

Winston, n. c., June 24.-(Special)-
A pretty marriage was celebrated IN
the Morayian Home church at $3.50
last night, the contracting parties be-
ing Miss Emma Fisher, of Salem, and
Mr.. Charles Cain, an engineer on the
Norfolk and Western railroad. Ihe
ceremony was performed by Bishop
Rondthaler. A reception followed at the
home of Mayor Hauser from to IL
o'clock. The happy couple left to-day
for a bridal trip to northern cities.
The announcement of Col. j. S. Carr,
of Durham. that he could not become q
candidate for Governor, was genuine
surprise to his many friends in this
city. His refusal, it is believed here,
simply adds strength to Judge Clark
whom the Democrats are anxious to
see nominated at the State convention
tomorrow.
A party of capitalists were here yes
terday afternoon and arranged the
final transfer of the controlling stock
in the Spray Water-power and Land
Company at Leaksville from Mayor
Morehead to B. Frank Mebane and his
associates. In the party We're Mr.

his remarks Mr.. Bynum's friends again
demanded that he be heard. The
confusion became SO intense that one
delegate demanded that the galleries
be cleared. He was cried down.
While dozens of delegates were on
their feet endeayoring to attract the
Chairs attention, in the midst of this
unusual scene, the chairman announc-
ed that the roll-call would be begun
for the nomination of Governor. The
roll-call could not be proceeded with,
however, and the convention was in a
state of chaos.
After Mr.. Bynum had maintained his
stand in the aisle for twenty minutes
and the convention was still uproar-
ious. he voluntarily returned to his
seat.
Ex-Congressman Jno E. Lamb then
moved that Mr.. Bynum be heard for
five minutes.
The chairman ordered two sergeants-
alarms to clear the aisles. They were
proceeding to do so when they were
opposed by the police. There was a
riotous scene and it looked for a few
minutes as though Kilkenny times
were at hand.
Here Chairman Bell made a pacify-
ing speech. He said he had no choice
in the matter, and in the regular order,
if it was the will of the convention that
Mr.. Bvnum be heard, he had no voice
against him.
Mr.. Lambs motion to suspend the
rules for five minutes and listen to
Mr.. Bynum called forth demand for
a roll-call.
Mr.. Bynum received two-thirds of
the votes and was escorted to the plat
form.
Nominations were then declared in
order.
The names of BENZ. T. Shiveley and
Gilbert f. Shanklin were proposed for
Governor.
Mr.. Shanllin arose and said he was
not n candidate and seconded the nom-
ination of Shiyeley.
Mr.. Bvnum named Geo. f. Cooper,
for Governor.
The State ticket nominated was as
follows:
