remember in particular the story
that Lloyd told us, the night before We
parted. It was unique and weird
Lloyd was tremendously big, athletic
fellow, and he had a way of saying
things in that deep bass voice OF his
that made them doubly impressive.
He had been sitting for some time
with his chin in his hand, looking
steadily into the open fire. Benson had
been telling a rather commonplace
ghost story, and the rest Of US had du-
tifully oh-d and ah-d and pretended to
SILVER at the proper places, hut Lloyd
said never a word. When silence set
tied upon the little group once more,
however, Lloyd sat up in his chair, UNI
crossed his feet, and remarked:
Nov, boys, am going to tell you a
ghost story the like of which you never
heard before, and the best of 1t is it's
all true, for it happened to me exactly
as shall tell It.
when l was in Sweden, some fifteen
years ago, had an opportunity to do
considerable cunning, as my friend and
host was landed proprietor and con-
trolled the hunting and fishing rights
of large and valuable territory. In
this tract was one large lake, called
Lake Fryksdal, which abounded in fine
fish, particularly pike of remarkable
size. lowering over this lake almost
constantly were few pairs of whitish-
gray birds which the Swedes called
sea-eagles-great, magnificent, broad
winged creatures, whose food consisted
Of the large fish that were so plentiful
in the waters Of their habitat.
II had strong desire to shoot one
of these birds, although knew them to
be held in almost sacred esteem by
the inhabitants, who believed that If
anyone should kill one of them, he
would be haunted by the sprite Of the
bird as long as he lived. But not being
the least bit superstitious, my passion
for obtaining a specimen Of each new
bird or animal l came across in my
travels easily overCame all scruples,
and forthwith laid my plans tosecure
one Of these sea-eagles.
: II shall never forget the circum-
stances connected with the shooting Of
this bird. 1t was bright. still after
noon. I had been lying for hours be-
hind a large rock on the shore Of the
lake waiting for one Of the birds to
come within range Of my fowling-piece.
A pair of them were sailing hither and
thither above the surface Of the lake,
waiting for an opportunity to pounce
upon some pike or other fish that might
be summing itself at the top OF the
water. At length saw one Of the
eagles drop like shot from height
of more than hundred feet and strike
the water in a cloud of foam and spray.
The next moment he rose, bearing a
good-slzed fish in his talons, and flew
heavily toward the shore. My heart
began to thump against my ribs, as l
saw that, if the eagle held to his

Some half century ago the late DR.
Scoresby, formerly Captain Scoresby Of
the Arctic seas, used to tell story Of
soiree to which he had once been in
vlted in Paris at the house of the cele-
brated sayant, M. Arago. The company
embraced an extraordinary group Of
travellers. Scoresby himself had at that
time been nearer the north pole thar
any navigator, so that it was quite nat
ural that he should be introduced tc
the sailor who had been nearar to the
south pole. There were present like
wise the aeronaut who had reached the
highest point above, and the mining
engineer who had penetrated to the
greatest depth, below the surface. Bu
the star of the company was lady
the only lady at that time who hat
circumnavigated the globe.
In accomplishing this feat she hat
shown remarkable pluck. She hat
been married to commander in the
Frsnch navy, who, almost immediate
ly after, was ordered off on two
years cruise around the world. ThC
regulations of the service at that time
forbade any woman to be on board
though they must have been relaxed
since then to allow Miss Gordon Cum
ming to give us the story of ga Lady''
Cruise in a French Man-of-War.

city of New York at the age Of twenty
He Immediately entered upon three
years course Of study at the General
Theological Seminary, and at his ordi-
nation entered on. a brief charge Of st.
AIMS, Morrisania. In 1912 he became
rector of st. Johns, Hartford, Conn.
His brilliant rectorship of this parish
continued twelve years, when he was
summoned to the rectorship Of Grace
church, Baltimore In 1868 he be-
came rector of Calvary church, New
York, only to be chosen, after two
years, for the episcopate Of Western
New York
The earliest years Of his manhood
laid broad foundation for the emin-
ence which he afterward attained. 1t
was while he was still student in the
General Theological Seminary, If we
mistake not, that he published his
christian Ballads" This volume was
at once recognized as placing its
author among the choicest Of English
religious poets, and it has continued to
be a household book in England as
we'll as here. During his rectorship
at Hartford he published "Athanasion
and Other POEMS" Halloween and
other POEMS" saul and Other
POEMS" and Impressions Of Eng
land" This last volume was the result
of an extended and very important and
fruitful European tour. 1t shows a
close study and a delicate apprecia-
ton, and 1t was exceedingly well re-
ceived in England. 1t was just at the
close of his Hartford rectorship that
he published his Apology for the Eng
fish Bible" and succeeded in securing
the suppression Of the costly but very
unscholarly revisions Of the English
translation which had been made by
the American Bible Society.
His nine years rectorship Of Grace
church, Baltimore, brought into prom
inence the intense patriotism which
was a marked characteristic Of the
man. He was diligent during the war
in visiting the sick and wounded SOL
diers in hospitals and on the field, and
in his parish he stood firmly for the
Union cause, though large part Of
his parish sympathized with the oppo-
site side. 1t was time that tried
mems hearts and engendered intensest
bitterness even in families. DR.. Coke,
however, stood firmly by his convic-
tions, and would not yield to any de-
mand in behalf of the confederate
cause. Yet he was as kind and as
conciliatory as he was firm, and he
won the hearty respect Of those who
differed most widely with him.
In his episcopate, Bishop Coke was a
man Of mark among his fellow bishops,
His mind was very active and very re-
sourceful. Filled with a devoted love
for his church and his country, he
watched all events with the eye Of a
churchman and Of patriot. In
France he urged religious reform and
the revivihcation and independence OF
the Gallican church. He COM
batted the exercise of papal influ-
ence in this country, as, for instance, in
his vigorous protests against the COM
ing of Monsignor Satolli as a papal
ablegate to America. One Of his most
important works was the establish
ment Of the Christian literature society
in New York City. This society haspub-
lished superb edition of the ANTE
Nicene Fathes," which was edited by
Bishop Coke. Nowhere else have his

ent if the Election is Thrown into the
House.
Mr.. Pou has at last made Father
Strowd come right down to the point
and acknowledge that he has pledged
himself. under certain circumstances,
to vote for Republican for President,
That was the report that reached here
yesterday.
Congress spoke at Hutchinson's State,
this county. Everywhere they have
spoken in this campaign Mr.. Pou has
charged that in return for republican
support, Capt Strowd has agreed to
vote for certain Republicans.
At Hutchinson's Store, II rs SAID, that
Can't. Strowd acknowledged that he
has written a letter in which he
hedges himself that, if the election of
4 President is thrown into the House
of Representatives, he will vote for
Republican for President. This admis
sion is said to have been forced by
Mr.. ROu, anu W nave pSNh oit'HS -

Mr.. Pou has repeatedly asked Mr..
Strowd if he would support Pritchard
for another term in the Senate or sup
port any candidate for the Legislature
who viii support Pritchard, and the
Populist candidate for Congress had
lodged the question every time.
Mr.. Pou is making a fine impression

him they will vote for him.
TO SPEAK HERE THURSDAY.
Thursday night the two candidates
will speak in Metropolitan Hall, Both
are good debaters, and the building
will no doubt be packed to hear them.
Mr.. Pou, they do say, handles Father
Strowd in the most approved manner.
OF course, everybody will hear them.
If Democrats want to hear some of the
best speaking that will be heard here
during the campaign, they will hear
Mr.. Pou Thursday night.
i CANDIDATE MASSEY HERE.
Mr.. p. T. Massey, of Johnston, Re
publican candidate for Congress in this
district, was here yesterday. He is
looking well and is in good trim for
the canvass. He has already been
speaking in Nash and Johnston, and
will before the campaign is over speak
in every county in the district. He
saws he has no idea of coming down,
and the rumor to that effect is without
foundation. He considers the chances
for election good, as he is the only can
didate who represents the strong

The Faculty of the School of Music

friends and patrons delightful after
noon. The programme was not very
long, lasting not much over an hour,
but each selection was a gem, and was
rendered in way that made music
lovers enthusiastic.
Professor Bryant, the musical direc-
tor, numbers his admirers here by the
dozen, and Raleigh audiences have be-
fore been charmed by the playing Of
Miss Bette Dinwiddie, but yesterday
afternoon they had the pleasure of
hearing for the first time the three new
acquisitions to the School of Music,
the Misses johnson and Miss Smith.
At the close of the performance, the
audience that mad been strangers, was
a gathering of admirers.
The violin playing of Miss M. John

who has a superb voice, were the most
notable features of an excellent pro-
gramme.

Leadville, Col, Sept. Cover one
thousand members of the National
Guard of the State of Colorado, under
command of Gen. Edgar Brooks, are
now on duty in this city. Some of
them are doing guard duty at the Maid
of Fri and other mines where attempt
ed destruction of property is appre-
hended, but the main body is encamped
near the Denver and Rio Grande rail
road depot. The streets are filed with
idle men who are excitedly discussing
the situation, but no violence has been
done since the attacks upon the COro-
nado and the Emmett mines early
yesterday, in which it is now known
that at least six men were killed.
No attempt has yet been made to
resume operations at any of the mines
which are closed in consequence of the
strike, but is believed that, as many
of the miners are DESTROYS of return
ing to work, some of the mines will
soon be re-opened under the protection
afforded by the presence of the troops.
