Birthday Freak of Young San Fran

A well-dressed young man, de-
cidedly under the influence of liquor,
rushed excitedly into one of the
shady places ON the cocktail route.
AT his heels followed another young
fellow, who bore all outward re-
semblance to a hired mourner at a
funeral
"Give me some red liquor, bar
keep" ordered the exuberant indi-
vidual in a hoarse whisper, as he
dragged two or three acquaintance
to the bar, while the melancholy man
stood respectfully behind him.
''This is my birthday and I've been
whooping it up till Pre lost my voice.

sUPERFI9 }fLEsH,
In Dressing Wei ft WIN Do What
Strength cannot


There arc two methods Of treating
superfluous flesh, the most common
being what one might call the
squeezing plan. According to this
plan one tries to make ones self
small by actual force by COMPRISING
ones self into tight corsets. The
other and more reasonable plan is
the one of judicious concealment
This consists in doing by craft and
subtlety what can never be accom-
plished by strength. 1t covers up
unsightly lines and protuberances
and deceives the eye as to bulk by
cunningly contrived drapcries.
Take woman of 175 pounds, for
instance, and begin by looseuing her
corset lacing at the waist. Then
use lace and chiffon and ribbon as
much as possible instead of severely
plain cloth gowns, and silk rather
than wool, which always has a ten
dency to increase. size. Let the
stout woman avoid the separate
bodice, the round waist with o belt
and plain skirt fitting smoothly, and
displaying to the full the worst parts
of her figure, and let her cling to
coats with open fronts and moder-
ately long skirts, which will hide
them, to loose fronts and lace iabots
and long ends of ribbon.
If she must wear separate bodice
let it have hip drapery of some sort,
if only pile of lace or some loops
and ends of ribbon, and let it never
be color contrasting strongly with
that Of the skirt The fat woman must
study the effect Of lines, especially
of those coming from the shoulders
to point at the waist, and the diff
ference in result of a belt pinned
down in front and of one which goes
round the waist in an unbroken line;
also the difference between belt
sewn in at the side seams and one
continued at the back. Let her look,
too, at the advantages of coat tails
which stand out at the back so as to
counterbalance her too great ampli-
tude in front. Let her study her
good points and make the most of
them.
Above all, however careless may
be the effect of her loose draperies,
her laces and ribbons and loose
front, she must always be careful to
have underneath them the founda-
ton of well cut, well-ftting lin
ing. ...r

A masked man committed a series

A masked man committed series
of atrocities at Tallmadge, a little
town a few miles from Akron, O.,
Saturday night. Entering the farm:
house of Alvin n. Stone, an aged
man, the fiend dubbed Stone and his
wife to death and mutilated their
bodies with knife. He then dubbed
Ira Stillson, hired man, and Emma
and Hattie Stone, daughters of the
murdered couple. Stiltson and EN-
ma Stone were left unconscious, but
Hattie ran to neighbor for assist
ance. Another daughter, Flora,
saved her life by fleeing. The muir,
derer made his escape. Stillson will
die and the two girls are in a critical
condition.

ALLEN c. SMITH, Pres.
The commonwealth., 1896-07-09

Those who desire to be- thoroughly
posted on the great issues now before
the country cannot afford to be with=
out the July Arena. The question
which undoubtedly takes precedence
Fover all other questions at the present
time Is the money question. This sub
ject is exhaustively dealt with, the Ed
itor, Mr.. B. o. Flower, in addition to
some stirring editorials, contributes two
remarkably strong papers to the contro-
versy, one of which embodies the views
of such prominent and authoritative
thinkers as the noted financier and
banker, Jay Cooke, VIM. P. St. John,
president of the Mercantile National
Bank of New York, and Judge Walter
CLARK, LII. D., of the Supreme Bench OF
North Carolina. H. F. Bartine in a
closely reasoned and well-written paper,
replies to recent article In The Forum,
by NJ Paul Leroy Beaulieu, in favor of
gold monometallism. Mr.. Bartine
makes strong case for the white metal
and refutes M. Beaulieu's arguments
In a clear and logical manner that is,
calculated to bring conviction to unpre-
JUDGED minds. Other economic and So
cial problems are discussed by live
thinkers in this number of the Arena.
The commonwealth., 1896-07-09
GIVES IT STRAIGHT.

One of the clearest headed young
men in any OF the professions in North
North Carolina made a statement to
the editor of The COMMONWEALTH re-
Gently that carries with 1t great deal
of significance.
He said that he was better posted
and more correctly posted as to the
passing events of the day when he was
living far out in the mountains away
from the railroads, than at any period
of bis life. He was teaching out there,
We believe, and his only means OF learn
ing the news was the weekly newspa-
pers.
He received his mail once or twice a
week and had to rely on the weekly pa
pers for his information.
The gay headlines and startling state
monts in the dailies ran their course in
a day or two and before the weekly pa
per printed the news it got down to its
proper size and the weekly thus gave
it straight.
And this is about the way of it still.
The editor of the weekly paper some
times feels like he is week behind !;
but being little behind gives him a
chance to get the news straight.
Take, for instance, the news of the
recent St. Louis cyclone. In the name
OF pity, 1t was bad enough when it was
given correctly but the dailies in hor-
rifying headlines announced that a
thousand lives were lost and almost an
1ncalculable amount of property was
destroyed. When the hard facts were
learned in time for the weekly press to
give them to it's readers, there were only
three hundred lives lost and the prop
erty loss about one tenth what the dali
les first reported.
Take another instance: A few weeks
ago there was a severe hail storm at
Wake Forest, and the daily papers SAID
that Mr.. w. P. Mangum's crop was en-
tirely ruined, loss about S. 600, and he
would have to plant his cotton fields in
peas. A few days later, when the talk
about the hail storm had ceased to be
news to the dailies, but in good time
for the weeklies to get in correct re-
port, 1t was learned that Mr.. Mangum's
crop was damaged very little, if any,
and that he would make as much as if
the hail had not come.
Alter all, you may pretty surely rely
on the weekly papers that are carefully
edited, and they are fully worth the
money they cost any family.
The commonwealth., 1896-07-09
WORTH ATTENTION.

Below we publish some resolutions
which the Fisherman and Farmer says
were passed by the ministers in Eliza
beth. City.
Our contemporary says the resolu-
tlons are meeting with favor where
they haye been presented, and THE
COMMONWEALTH thinks they are time
ly. They certainly would mean much
to the country at large if their sentl-
ment should be adopted by the mana
gers of manufacturing establishments.
Now, don't skip them and think that
because some ministers formulated
them they are religiously fanatical and
impracticable. They carry much COM
mon sense and Dy their adoption no
one would be the worse, but many
would be the better. The resolutions
are as follows:
Whereas, the system of paying off
large bodies of hands on Saturday even
ing has two evil effects, viz: It makes
Saturday night the time of general
trading-crowding into one night what
ought to be done during an entire week.
This trading and hard toll continues
until near midnight, leaving the mer-
chant and clerks utterly untitled for
the holy exercises of the Sabbath day.
2. The Saturday night system has
tendency to add further temptation
to those who are convlyiaIly inclined
to spend their wages foolishly to their
own hurt, and to the deprivation OF
their families and their creditors.
For these potent reasons many of
the most conscientious employers of
the country have pay day early in
the week.
Therefore, we, the undersigned pas
tors, seeking solely to promote the re-
ligious and material interests of the
community, do earnestly urge
l. THAT manufactures and en-
ployers adopt pay day near the first
ofithe week.
2. And we respectfully ask the
merchants to close their stores at 10
o'clock sharp on Saturday nights.
