The Baptists Of Kinston viii build a
large brick church.
The Newbern Journal notes the ship
ment of 7G1 barrel boxes of shad, each
weighing 800 pounds on one day this
week from Roanoke Island. One man
caught 900 at one haul. Mr. Black
ledge Judges the number of boats en-
gagged in the fishing to be about fifty
and he counts it pretty sight to see
them coming in. So many fish are be-
ing caught that the ice factory, which
was established there this season, does
not meet the requirements and addi-
tional supplies have TO be procured
from Elizabeth City.
The Republicans Of the Third dis
trict have been called TO meet at War
saw, May 18th, to elect delegates to the
National convention. The executive
committee met in Wilmington (Which
is not IN the district and endorsed
Russell for Governor: Pritchard for
Senator; and Mckinley for President.
Delegate Battley, of Moore county,
told the Star that Bunting, of Samp-
son, was allowed to participate, though
not a member of the executive COM
mittee because he was a Russellite. He
also said that Moore, Harnett and Cum
berland are solid for Dockery

REPUBLICANS ALL FOR GOLD.

The Republicans of Texas declared

state this fact, not because it is surpris-

the door to any fusic with any Popu

the nomination Of MCKINLEY, who
would veto silver bill The voice is

Az URGENT CALL.

Something over a year ago, when the
Baptists undertook to endoy the Roy
al chair at Wake Forest, the Ameri-
can Education Society proposed to give
$4,000 when $4,000 had been raised, if
IT should be s, cured within stated
time. Only twenty days of that time
remains. and the friends of Wake For
est must secure the additional $1,000
(they have raised $4,000 within that
time or they viii not get the $1,000
from the Educational Society.
This is d call that appeals not alone
to Baptists but to all friends Of educa-
ton, and the News and Observer hopes
that the Baptists will rally as one man
and that liberal members ri other
churches will come to their assistance.
The chair must and will be endowed.
This is an urgent call.

OUR TOBACCO EDITION,

The RAIDERS of the News and oloser-
Yer viii be gratife6 to know that the
Forthcoming Tobaceo edition will far
.surpass any previous paper ever issued
in North Carolina. Our Cotton Mill
edition was surprise even to the peo-
pie of the State, and a revelation TO
the thousands of the North and West
who read II. But great as it was, the
Tobacco edition will sprpass it. This
edition will appear shortly within the
next ten days or so. is would have
been issued sooner but its magnitude
has grown upon us so that, in order
to make the paper comprehensive and
complete, We have deferred its publica-
ton
There are a very few prominent to-
bacco men that have not yet engaged
space in this edition. After 1gednes-
day, space cannot be given. We make
this statement here because some of
the few cotton mill men, who were not
in the Cotton Mill edition, expressed
4heir regret that they had not known
OF its magnitude and value. We wa4t
to give the few tobacco men who have
not yet taken space every opportunity
to SAKE their vain regret when the
whole country is applauding the To-
baGco edition.

Some day the music of the throb of

from the memorial church along the
dim ways that wind in and out about
the district Of Old Market Hall, and
the refrain of this music may be: MIR.

EQUAL TO ANY EMERGENCY.

The Supreme court of North Carolina
is a great institution measuring up to
any emergency. Last year it decided
in the notorious assignment case
that a so-called act OF the Legislature
which had never passed either Senate
or House, but which by fraud and de-
ception had been palmed off as genuine
on the presiding officers and received
their ratifying signatures, was a valid
law Of the State.
AZ this term, the court has decided
that an act which duly passed the Leg
islature, bat which did not receive the
signature Of either one of the presid-
ing officers, as the Constitution re-
quires, is also valid law OF the State.
All that is necessary is that the Sec
rotary Of State shall include the act
among the others in the printed laws.

A BIT OF POINT D'ALENCON

the value of laces is being considered,
there is wide field for error at hand.
At the utmost the lace gown of Bel
GUMS queen could hardly have cost
more than $4,000, and one-half of that
sum might cover the total.
The collection of Mrs. Hicks-Lord is
said to contain the famous point de
Brussels shawl once owned by Eugene.
Mrs. Hicks-Lord keeps all her treasures
locked ap in the vaults Of a safe de-
posit company, and as she never goes
into society nowadays it is difficult to
name her possessions with any degree
of accuracy. The shawl has been
valued at 100000. Eighty experts
worked on it for a year, and Empress
Eugene wore it but three times. Since
then it has never been worn.
Mrs. William FL. Vanderbilt owns
some fine bits Of point d'Alencon, one
of the costliest laces in the world.
The reason of the great cost is due of
course to the amount of intricate labor
required. First, tho design is drawn
by an artist and then engraved on a
copper plate, from which it is printed
on long strips of parchment. Pieces
OF linen are attached to the parch.
ment and the pattern is traced with a
thread. The ground netting of the

No greater evidence of the favoritism
of the queen for Princess Beatrice
could be given than her immense con
cession in allowing these remarkable
hounces, veil and bodice trimmings to
be placed on the wedding gown OF the
princess. The queen OF Italy is par
ticularly we'll endowed with this deli
cate fabric, and the cream of her col
lection consists of superb pieces OF
Maltese lace, some of it said to be 2500
years old.
Mrs. William II. Vanderbilt, Mrs.
William Astor and Mrs. Hicks-Lord
are perhaps the owners Of the finest
laces in New York. Mrs. Astor is cred
tied with owning a lace gown which
cost somewhere between $50, 900 and
$4,000. She has never been seen to
wear it, but if she did there would
probably be some broad but polite
smiles in the fashionable mblage.
In the first place the gown would be
sadly out of date and, Notwithstanding
her riches, she would not be 30 extraY7
agant as to have the laces cut up in an
effort to fit them to the prevailing
mode.
Mrs. A. L. Stewart was, in her life
time, the owner of the finest laces in
the land. AS the wife of the great
merchant prince she had unusual oppoI-
tunities for picking up odd but valu-
able bits in all parts of the world, as
her husbands buyers always had
standing order to buy when they were
certain of the quality. At the time OF

+ by FORSTER H. JENNINGS, with preface by
Hon. Pow KwANG soH. For sale by Stoll Il
Thayer.
This is the most richly stored year
book we have vet seen. Piety is the
foundation of the moral code of Con-
fucius, and this little volume is brim-
ming with beautiful sayings from his
works. Every passage breathes piety
aud love, while spiritual fragrance is
over all. 1t is very attractive little
volume and we cannot think of a better
table companion for the scholar or
even the general reader.
Here is something very timely to
be quoted.
"You have made the spear, and by a
moments want of forbeRrance you may
disgrace you whole life with it."
No better little book for giving us
the gist of Chinese teachings could
have been devised. And how it ought
to shame us to reflect that the attitude
of the people of this region towards the
Chinese is wholly unfair and ineXcus-
able when tried by any standard Of right
and justice, even Of barbarous nations.
Some day it will dawn upon us that
the brutslities we daily witness are
sure to curse and degrade us as people.
Meantime it is duty as we'll as priv
ilege, to keep our minds open to what
is best in Chinese literature.
We should hate to do injustice to
anybody, but we have never yet seen a
Pacific Coast statesman who has
brawled against the Celestials, to whom
the easiest Chinese lessons would not
disclose a miracle of manners or
morals.
THE SECRET OF MANKIND. With Some Sin
gular Hints Gathered in the Esewheres or
After Life, from Certain Eminent Person
ages As Also Some Brief Account OF the
Planet Mercury and Its Institutions. G. p.
Putnam N sons, New York.
The high-sounding title of this work
is very striking, not to say bewildering.
At the outset the author-or compiler
frankly declares that perhaps "The
Secret of Humanics" would have been
more appropriate title, for "humanics
means mankind and their movement
or conduct-their way of being and do
ing" The reason this title was not
chosen, it seems, was because "the
word (humanics) has scientific sound,
and ths reader might suspect that
meant to impose on him that task of
thinking from which most men shrink;
whereas my object is rather to inform
and direct him."
Here we have handsome volume of
400 pages, comprising ninety-seven
chapters, about which the elaborate al
Tentative title gives very fair hint.
The best general idea of the scope and
motif of the work is to be had from
the headings of the chapters. For in
stance, chapter the first summarizes
its contents thus:
my Death-Sensations of this
Change ge-Snbsequent Condition. De-
part from Esrth-Larger Areas Of

snce of Earth to the Sun.
Then the author describes astral ap-
pearances and his loneliness. He sum-
mons his mother, sister and infant
brother, and communes with these.
He tells how they we're occupied, and
what facts about the new life he dis
covered. especially how social condi-
tions are maintained In "the else
where's"
Having thus found iugress into the

100000, but since then they have been
scattered far and wide.
Mrs. John Jacob Astor has a Vene-
tian rose point lace fan, purchased last
fall at the sale of famous collection
for $1,000. 1t may not be the most ex-
pensive fan in the world, but there are
few which cost more. The sticks are
Of mother of pearl, with delicate
tracery in gold. 1t is needless to say
that thi 8 fan is seldom used, for in the
crushes which characterize the average
society function it would probably be
smashed to flinders and the gauzy lace
torn into shreds.
The eccentric Queen of Belgium has
a lace gown which cost fabulous sum.
1t is said to contain sixty yards of lace
of various widths. Some wildly imsg-
inative people. in writing of this gown,
have placed its cost at $1,000,000. When

it is place for luxurious bathing and

accommodations for about twenty-five.
The baths given are Turkish, Russian,

thermals and var ious specials. Salt
and medicated tub baths, for the treat
ment Of rheumatism, coughs, colda,
grippe, blood and skin poisoning,

ers, BARRIERS, manicurists and chiropo-

landmark having been removed. Mr..

man had lost an arm in the affair, and a
young married WON an had been made a

awarded 6OOO piastres, and only 1000 for
the loss of the husband. At this there were
loud murmurs, whereupon the judge justi-
