BALTIMORE Del = 9.-The American

President Adams al g which was read
last night, and spen early hours u's-
cussing it, Some le speakers TOOK

the points contained the address ana
thought corporations In many respects
overabused.
The next subject taken UP was the query:
"Is There Distinct Agricultural question:
The leader OF the discussion was TO nave
been Prof Bailey of Cornell university, but
being unavoidahly absent he formulated
thesis on the general subject and the debate
was participated in by Prof. Scott of Wscon-
sin University, Prof Walker of the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural college and Or. Lester
Il. Wood Of Washington, ID, c., and others,
Prof. Roland u. Falkner OF the University
Of Pennsylvania, reported that a memorial
asking for the establishment of per
mancnt census bureau had been presented
to congress. The memorial stated the census
reports to be in many respects unsatisfactory
to economists and statsticians owing TO the
lack of continuity in the work and to the
haste with which the whole census nachin-
cry Is nut in motion.
prof. David Kinley of the University OF
Illinois read paper on the use OF circuit
instruments in retail trade. His estimate
was that 60 per cent OF the total retail
and at least so per cent of the entire busi-
ness of the country. He said the monetary
circulation OF the country was not so
greatly enlarged by this extensive use OF
credit because much money was held in re-
serve in the banks. Credit based upon such
a reserve. by setting free a certain amount
of money lowers prices or keeps them from
advancing.
A general discussion followed Mr. Thomas
G. sherman of Brooklyn criticising Prof
Kinley's statistics and asserting they would
have a false influence in the political agita-
tion of this country. Mr.. Sherman showed
the absence of banking facilities compelled
the peope OF the south and southwest to
carry about large amounts of currency, and
that tended to a constant demand for cur
rency. He hoped the proper method might
be devised. whereby relief could be had for
the two great sections. so a new section
alism would bo avoided.
The convention will meet again tomorrow
and conclude its business on Thursday.

An intricate and peculiar suit has
been on trial for the past two days in
Durham.
A man named William Ellis, in Flat
River section of Durham county, died
leaving a viii. Certain property was
conveyed to the Methodist Episcopal

low pending wherein there are three
claimants. The Methodist Episcopal

tion of old man Ellis was to give that
organization the property. The Meth
odist Episcopal church, known as the
Northern church, comes in and says
when the important word, South" was
left out, that institution was the bene-
ficiarY Then comes in the next Of kin
and says Mr.. Ellis was incapable Of
making a will, and therefore they are
entitled to the property.
The matter is held under adyisement
by Judge Coble, and he VIII decide the

ZOA DOLLAR is DEAD.

One of the poor, unfortunate women
of Smoky Hollow died Tuesday morn.
ing. 1t was Zoa Dollar, the divorced
wife of Du Dollar. For years she had
lived life of shame, and was not un-
known in the courts of Durham.
All sorts of wild rumors have been
in circulation for two days 1t was
charged that she had been beaten to
death by Walter Howard, who, i'm con
sequence. had fed the country, This
correspondent believes in publishing
the truth, and therefore made no men
ton of this unfortunate woman's
death, awaiting Developments
It turns out that there is no founda-
ton whatever for the rumors- 1t may
be said that she had been stricken a
blow that amounted to nothing, yet it
gave color to these sensational reports.
All the information this correspond
ent is able to get is that she had been
drunk for some days, and the physi.
clan. who attended her, is of the opin-
ion that she died Of the free use Of
whiskey.
She was buried yesterday morning
in the city cemetery, the services be-
ing conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Well
Ions. Let it be said that in this or no
other city is there a more conscien-
tious. consecrated Christian worker
than Rev. W. Nj. Wellons.

THIEVES At WORK.


The store house of the West Durham
Store Company was broken into Mon
day and quite raid made upon their
stock of merchandise. Entrance was
effected by breaking open back win
dow, and from this rear room the store
house was reached. Quite a quantity
of goods have been missed. and many
things were doubtless taken that have
not yet been noted A number Of pairs
of pants, shoes, several cheeses, a large
number Of boxes of cigarettes, and 9th
er things have been missed
Strange to say, two lamps were kept
burning all night, and the thief or
thieves were not satisfied, but lighted
third, and when the store was opened
Tuesday morning all these lamps were
burning As no tracks were to be
found about the store, the probability
is that the robbery was committed
early in the night before there was any
fall of snow.
This occurred in West Durham
where they have no police force
or other protection along this
line. Most Of these robberies
occur in out of the way
places where the police is not
likely TO reach, and shows the import
ance Of extending Durham's corporate
limits in order to furnish police protec-
ton to these people.
The time has come when these mat
ters should be given serious considera-
ton

Some time during Tuesday night
there was an attempt to burn the store
house Of Mr.. J. r.. Gattis, on the Chapel
Hill road, just this side of the cemetery.
Kerosene oil was used freely on the
west side of the store house, on box
against the building and also on the
fence connected Herewith. The box
and the side of the house were burned
badly, and the mystery is that the fire
went out. There is no doubt that there
was an attempt TO burn up the store
house and stock OF Mr.. Gattis. What
the object was it is hard to tell. Mr..
Gattis is a quiet, inoffensive man, at
tending strictly to his own business.
IL the man who did this could be
caught, he ought to be punished, and
that severely.

bottles the cancer began TO heal, and
astonishing as it may seem, few bot

probably better understand how re-
markable this cure was when explain
that the cancer had eaten two holes in
the breast two inches deep. These

years have elapsed, not sign of the

Cancer


Mr.. A. H. Crausby is one of the best
known and most highly respected citi-
gems of Memphis, and resides at 15s
Kerr street in that city.
Some years ago his wife noticed
small lump in her breast. She thought
nothing of it, but it increased III size
rapidly, and soon broke through the
skin and commenced to discharge.
She was at once put under treatment
of the best physicians, but they yery
soon found that they could do her no
good, and simply prescribed antiseptics
to keep the place clean. Both her
grandmother and aunt, by the way,
had diei with cancer, and when APP
prised of this fact the doctors said that
they would not attempt to save her;
that she was incurable. Although the
cancer had by this time become deep
seated and her health very low, one of
the most noted specialists of New York
then treated her. After treating her
awhile, this doctor admitted that the
