The hours never went so slowly as
they did during the week that the Eng

to bring him glory and settlement of
his board bill. At last the fateful even
ing came, and the man from across the
sea hied him to the saloon where in a
big back room the mill was to be de-
cided.
He stood up in the center of the ring
and bowed gracefully as a seasick ele-

The Seasons Headgear-velvet Flowers

Felt hats are very much worn, and not
only hats, but bonnets and toques. Felt is
certainly the most serviceable of materials
for ordinary wear in the winter and in the
fine qualities is very attractive. Its fiexi-
bility is also a great recommendation,
especially for large shapes, where individu-
ality may be given by twisting and turn
ing the brim. The edge of some of the
new felt hats is finished with q row Of
oblique felt loops, which form sort Of
rounded border becoming to the face.
Neutral tints are much favored, browns,
beige, beaver, dead leaf and mastic tones
being in great vogue. Black felts with 9

Marine Music a Failure,

Until some recent discoveries by Pro
fessor Saussier of Veyey, Switzerland,
it was not suspected that fishes We're af-
fected by music. In shallow inlet Pro-
fessor Saussier found a queer arrange
ment Of strings i'll the water which de-
manded examination. Viewing the af-
fair from distance with water tele-
scope he saw that some fishes, which
had, by the usual painful method, gain
ed possession of several fragments of
fishline, were passing them around two
sticks thrust into the water by some fish
erlnan. When the strings were strung,
the stakes were wedged apart by piling
stones between them SO as to tighten the
strings, three OF four fishes rolling
stone along the bottom with their noses.
The operation was necessarily slow.
The professor watched it at intervals for
two Or three days.
Finally, when all was ready, the lar
gest fish seized a stick or bone, and,
using it as "a plectrunl, twanged the
strings with it, while the other fishes
gathered around to hear the music. Of
course, there was none, as the sub
merged strings refused to sound After
several trials the fishes tore up their wa
ter harp i'll disgust They had probably
caught their idea from Aimee Saussier,
the professors daughter, who was i'll
the habit OF playing harp by the bank.

The TOWN AND FIRE COMPANIES.

For several days there has been
trouble between the Board of Alder
men and the fire companies of the
city. Just what the outcome would
be it was hard to predict. The in
terest seemed to nc deep and fNed On
both sides. Men of intellect, men OF
thought are ON both sides and have
the best interests OF Durham at stake.
1t was hard to decide what was best
in the premises and as yet no decision
has been reached.
1t would be wise for both sides to
give the matter a calm and deliberate
consideration before any action is
taken. Durham must have an efficient
fire department and we will have it.

men employed by the company since

Workers union members, three years

of definite assurance of future employ
ment the men were advised to take
work elsewhere if they can find it.
This may mean the beginning of the
end of one of the greatest industrial

will be open again to union Workmen

PYnHIANs IN CAMP.
National Encampment Of the Uni
formed Rank Begins


formed Rank Begins
Cleveland, Aug. 23.-The great en-
campment of the uniformed rank,
knights of Pythias, began here to-
day. This will be the largest gather
ing of Pythians ever seen in Ohio, if
not in the country. When the meeting
of the supreme lodge was transferred
from Minneapolis to this city because
OF the refusal of the railway COM
panles to make satisfactory rates, it
was decided to hold the encampment
OF the Ohio brigade here in conjunction
with the supreme lodge meeting, and
an invitation was extended to all brig
AIDES III the supreme domain to partici-
pate. At least 1900 Knights in uni
form are here, 1000 Of them being
Ohio members of the order The en-
campment is held in a field, where
1000 tents have been pitched. The
events of the week will be the grand
parade on Tuesday, competitive drill
on Thursday and awarding Of prizes
on Friday. The supreme lodge will
meet Tuesday in Pythian temple. The
supreme council, the governing body of
the uniform rank, will hold an assem-
bly, during the encampment on the
camp grounds. There will also be
meetings of the two auxiliary Pythian
societies, the Rathbone Sisters and the
Pythian SiSterhood, both Of which or
ders are represented by large number
Of delegates. The imperial palace dra-
matte order, Knights of Khorassen,
which is composed of representatives
from various temples, While not a
Pythian order, is only composed of
knights of Pythias, will hold a SEES
sion. The Khorassen Knights will
give an Illuminated parade on Wednes-
day night, the procession moving
through all the business streets. This
will be fantastic pageant very much
like those given by the mobiles of the
Mystic Shrine. The parade usually
begins at midnight, but it is proposed
to have this one start at 8 O'Clock or
earlier in the evening.
The board of control of the Endow-
ment rank will also meet in executive
SESSION, and the supreme tribunal, or
highest judicial authority, will also
have sitting. All branches of Pyth-
ianism will be represented in this as
semblage, the, delegates being from
lodges having a membership of nearly
half a million.
