Coushed up a Nail.

The two-year-old daughter of
John Hohweiler, who lives at
Newark, N. J., swallowed a SIX
penny nail on last Christmas
Day, which became imbedded in
her left lung. After the child
had swallowed the nail, no effort
Oh the part of the mother or med
ical assistance availed to recover
it, and the girl had considerable
difficulty with her left lung until
February 23rd, when she was
playing with football, which
struck her on the chest and
knocked her to the floor. She
was seized with a violent fit of
coughing, and, as a result, the
missing nail was raised. 1t was
found that the nail was slightly
corroded. Since it was raised
the girl has been in excellent
health.

No Hope for Mrs Maybrlck k
THE lord CHANCELLOR INTER-
VENES TO PREVENT HER
PARDON.

The Philadelphia Record of
Sunday says: Mrs. Florence
Maybrick, who is serving life
sentence for the poisoning of her
husband with strychnine, is to
remain in prison sonic time long,
er. Successive Home Secreta~
ries had refused to Interfere in
behalf of this unhappy woman,
put the present Secretary recon
sidered the case, and had practi>
cally resolved in her favor. In
order, however, to have addition
al argument against possible
hostile criticism in Parliament,
he weakly referred tn papers to
the Tory Lord Chancellor, who
is incapable Of seeing. anything
save with strictly legal eye, and
the result has been unfavorable
to the convict.
simultaneously Henry AS
quith, Home Secretary in the
late Liberal Ministry, who, like
his predecessors, had taken sides
against mercy, intimated that he
would be no party to the pro-
posed release. The result, it is
reported, is that Mrs. Maybrick
is to remain in prison, notwith-
standing that Lord Chief Justice
Russell, within the last week or
two, reiterated his belief that
the woman was unjustly con-
yiCtad,"

"A Supposed Cold Biooded
Murder.

In Prince George county, Va,
near Gatling's farm, short dis
tance from Petersburg. there oc-
Cured Saturday morning what
appears to have been a most cold
blooded murder. 1t seems that
a negro, named George Butler,
was choking and beating small
er brother when Joe Butler
another brother, interferred aud
came to his younger brothers S
rescue. George Butler thereupon
drew a revolver from his pocket
and shot his brother Joe, the ball
entering the ear and causing al
most instant death. The 1nur-
derer made his escape, but it is
thought that he will be captured
before he can get away.

THE OLYM
THE FASTEST CRUISER IN THE
WORLD.

A recent speed run of the
cruis, Olympia between two
Chinese ports was made the
subject of an oficia report which
has Just reached the Navy De-
partment. Notwithstanding
very rough weather, the Olymp-
ia averaged twenty knots an
hour and would have made %,
according to her officers, III
smoother water, thus becoming
the second fastest cruiser in the
world. The Minneapolis, OF our
navy, which holds the record
made her remarkable speed OF
twenty- three knots and a fraction
on her official trial, where every
condition was favorable to speed
and where forced draught' wa
used. The Olympia ran unde'
| natural draught.

The Paris Exhibition of 1000.

The magnitude of the labor in
volved in the preparation for the
Paris Exhibition of 1900 may be
Judged from the fact that already
the French people are actively
engaged in the preliminary work
of organization, although the
opening day Of their great enter
prise is nearly FIVE years distant.
It is estimated that the prepara-
ton of the grounds, erection o1
the buildings, and general main
tenance of this Exhibition will
absorb a round sum of $780,
100000.

Hoods Sarsaparilla has achieved great
success in warding off sickness which

Love Laughs al: Lock-

fiinCOln Democrat

Abou; month ago Mr.. John
REYNOLDS. Of Cowden. n. J., came
here in the employment OF Pee
Dee Factory as all expert to set
UP its system of water works.
About two weeks ago, he met
Miss Annie e. Blackwell, of Pee
Dee Village and it TUNED out to
be a severe case OF love at first
sight. But the course of things
did not run smooth; for the stern
parent OF "Juliet," swore by his
bulldog and double barrel gun,
that "Sweet Romeo" was a per-
soma non grata Gin his back
yard" and so without consent OF
Congress he took unto himself
belligerent rights, and vowed a
vow that Annie should be a pris-
oner and John al exile, until
t Il cir forbidden infatuatloll
should end. But uOt SO. Plans
thwarted for a time, change not
the ways of human nature, OF
the hearts of lovers. They have
an affinity for each other, which
defes parental commands, and
mocks at prison walls-and all
the world loves them. So OF
last Monday night, when all was
still; and the rising moon hac
cast it's first silvery beams to ado
natures romantic touch to the
scene, Annie leaped across the
garden wall and i'll the arms o
tender friends, was quickly borne
TO where her lover with 4 car
riage was i'll waiting. 1t wa
then a hasty ride to Roberde
where, in the presence of severa
friends and co -conspirators, Rev
| Mr.. Byrd consummated the hap
pv romance by making then
one.

Col. Mcclure Says we are More
Capable of Self Support Than
Any Other State.
HAS FAITH in
NORTH CAROLINA.
oTTGHT TO HAVE A POPULATION
OF FIVE MILLION, WITH I'M
MENSE MANUFACTURES.

Col. A. K. Mcclure, a dis
tinguished editor of New York
City, has great friendship for the
Old North State, and expresses
himself as follows to the Nfae S
and Observer:
North Carolina has the best
population Of any State i'll the
South. No other State in the
Union has such a Homogeneous
people. That is much i'll her
favor. North Carolina is the
best field on this continent for
aericulturists; you have the
cheapest land fertility considers
ed; YOU are closest to market.
The industrial population of the
State ought to DC doubled, and
would be in a few years if there
was faith i'll her finaucial lnteg
ritv. The people of your State
seem inclined to want to go back
to the money standard of semi
civilized nations of the earth,
and separate themselves and this
nation from the great civlliza>
tiors which control three~fourths
of the trade and capital of the
world.
"Thcre is no better climate on
this continent than you have IN
North Carolina. Nearly every
thing raised i'll the country is
produced in North Carolina.
Il am not at all surprised at
the rapid development of cotton
manufacturing in North Carols
ns There is a difference Of
twenty-five per cent. in North
Cardinals favor, as compared
with Massachusetts; there IS at
least that difference in the cost
OF living. There ought not to be
a pound Of cotton spun or woVe
outside of the cotton region. The
only thing that hl'1dcrs the re-
moval of he Massachusetts, mills
to the South is the nlliiO"s IN
vested in plants there. I took
up this question fifteen years ago.
The cotton manufact IL S
couldn't help themselves; the
move has been distated by neces-
sity. 1t is only question of time
when the mills will move here
mo State is SO completely
equipped for self support as
North Carolina. 1t could be IN
dependent Of the rest of the
world. She ought to have to-
day 5000 900 people, with I'M
mcnse manufactures. and her
fields producing an ample supply
for all the wants Of her people.

The city of Boston is rapidly
getting rid of the overhead wire
nuisance that has existed in that
city tor a number of years. Th
Work of placing wires under
ground was commenced in 1894.
and six years were allowed in
which to complete the work, but
it is thought that three-ffths of
the work will be finished by the
close of the present year. and
that by the end of 1898 all of the
wires will be placed under

THE FAME DREAMER.

Last night walked a garden through,
Where all around my feet
Bunches Of Crimson roses grew
With lilies white and sweet.
The dew hung on their perfect bloom
1t fell about my eyes
And, breathing in their rare perfume,
lived in Paradise
They beckoned me--they spoke to me
These blossoms SO complete
Look close O, dreamer, close and see
Which flower is passing sweet
Which flower is fairer than the rest,
And when YOU find the one,
Pluck it and wear it OH your breast
Forever as your own.
pluCked the sweetest flower of all
Drank in its fragrance deep,
And said Whatever may befall
This treasure will keep
Loving it as priceless thing
Full long and tenderly,
And to Gods Judgment will l bring
Its perfume when die.
Thus, holding fast, only brushed
Its beauty with my BREATH
When from my lips the thing shrank, crushed
Like it were touched by Death
The petals faded from my sight
The dried leaves followed them
And, i'll a graveyard of the night
held a wthered stem.
