snlpe Shooting In Washington,

Tenements In Boston.

Boston in her old converted dwellings,
now lot to tho laboring classes, reaches a
refinement Of inconvenience that I havo
never observed elsewhere Three tenants,
we will say, occupy one house-not, as
might BIO supposed, family to each floor,
for TINT arrangement the landlord consid-
ers losing one, top floors bringing little
rental. So no hires to ono household tho
back kitchen, the front first floor room and
the rear garnet chamber, to another family
the front kitchen and back first and seq
ond floor TO n third he gives tho front sec
end floor, side room and first floor hall.
Every family lives In patches and spots,
no two rooms adjoining so as to save labor
and steps or economizo heat, each house
wife trotting from basement to attic and,
worse than all, her girls sleeping in the
next garrett to other tonants' boys, all far
removed from the mothers eye. More than
IS, 600 persons in Boston reside in houses
containing three families, often In fair cir
cumstances, while in 1000 dwellings from
IL to 10 persons live, and some big struc-
lures include AZ tenements.-Forum.

A Peculiar Cat.

Among the most cherished possessions of
Miss Frances Willard is her Angora cat
Toots. Toots once bore the more dignifled
name of Gladstone, but England's Grand
Old Man happened to take a stand on the
prohibition question that did not meet
with Miss Wizards approval, so she re-
christcned the cat Toots has habits which
must try the temperance reformer, for he

"TIM" LEE WAS HERE.
The One-Time Boss of Republican
Politics in Wake County in the City
for an Hour.

Tim" Lee was here yesterday.
He came in on the three o'clock train
from Greensboro and returned on the
4:10 Southern train.
AS he walked down the platform and
through the gate Capt. Bunch, keeper
of the union station, stared twice be-
fore he shook hands with him. Many
who had known him in his palmy days
when he ruled Wake county politics and
worked it for all there was going, could
hardly believe Tim had come back
after all these years. He had wander
ed away and been lost to his acquaint-
ance. He is an enthusiastic Mckinley
man, and says the country would go to
bloody ruin if ever Bryan got in the
Presidents chair.
1t is suspected that he came here
on a political mission, but that was
denied.
J. Slogan Harris Gold plated by
Hanna's Battery gave Tim the glad
hand, and stalked around with him,
calling him "an old friend Of mine"
Lee has not been here before in
years. But all the older residents of
Raleigh remember him. He is tall and
gray, and wore light business suit
yesterday. But those who knew him
said it was the same old Tim.

"lS SILVER NOW A TEST?"
REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN HOLTON
ASKS WITH A LAUGH.
Republicans Say They Have Given ST.
YER a Black Eye and Arranged
Affairs so That Mckinley
viii Garry the

Il wonder if silver is the test now
That's what Chairman Holton, or
the Republican State Committee, said
with sly smile after the fusion had
been patched up.
Since the SILVER Convention held in
this city, Sept. 25th, 1895, the Popu-
lists have made silver the supreme test
of patriotism, and have proclaimed
that they would under no circum-
stances vote for any man for any Of
fee whatever who did not favor the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
According to the written contract
with the Republicans the Populist
committee has solemnly agreed over
their own signatures to deliver the
Populist vote to Gold Bug Walser, Gold
Bug Douglass, Gold Bug Linney and
Gold Bug Spencer Adams. They have
also agreed either to deliver the Pop
ulist vote to Gold Bug Tom Settle, Gold
Bug Richmond Pearson and Negro
Gold Bug George III. White, or, if it
is found necessary to put out Pop
ulist dummy candidate in the Second,
Fifth and Ninth Districts and so dl-
vide the silver vote that the Gold Bugs
will be elected by a plurality.
Is silver now the test now with Pop
ulists?
Who has deserted silver?
They claim to have ever held the
financial issue the one paramount issue
in this country. Now read the pream-
BILE in which the excuse for fusion is
given:
''The Peoples party State Executive
committee and the Republican State
Executive committee, in behalf of their
respective parties, affirm our devotion
and fixed determination to support
and maintain a free ballot and fair
count in all elections held in North
Carolina and pledge ourselves to the
policy of upholding the principle of
free and honest elections aimed at and
provided for the election laws enacted
by the Legislature of 1895, and for the
purpose of maintaining the act of the
last Legislature restoring to the peo-
pie the right of local elf-government,
enter into the following terms of CO.
operation"
Does it mention silver?
The Republicans on whom the gid
ing of Hanna is hardly yet dry, are
laughing at the ease with which they
made the bargain by which the Popu-
lists vote is to be delivered to Hanna's
Gold-Bugs.
Cairman Holton says the Populists
and Democrats win not get together
on electors, and says that Mckinley
and gold will carry the State by plur-
atty of 10000.
The Republicans are all laughing
at the way they have slugged silver
and say the white metal has been given
a black eye.
"What does that agreement mean?"
/ asked a prominent Republican yes
terday.
sIt means Mckinley viii carry the
State,'' he replied; "the Populists will
not fight US. They have agreed to
fight Democrats wherever they find
them, and Bryan is the Democratic
nominee"

court house will hold. The Chatham
Record says that crowds come every
night from miles in the country, and
the stores are all closed and business
suspended during the services, as on
Sunday. The Record adds:
"Mr Gales is very different in his
manner, and as well as in the matter
of his discourses, from some other
eyangelists who mar their usefulness
by too much rant and slang. He has
inherited the oratory and polished
manners of his gifted father, the late
Mai. Seaton Gales, and his Soul stir

graceful and impressive manner. lie
is accompanied by his charming wife,
a daughter of ex-Judge George V.
Strong, and her sweet singing adds
greatly to the interest and impressive
ness of the services"

COTTON, 90 PER CENT.
STATE REPORT SHOWS A RE-
MARkABLE FALLING OFF.
Commissioner Patterson Thinks the
Government Report Rates This
State Entirely Too High.

The September crop report of the
State Department of Agriculture was
made up last night. The most notable
showing for months is the falling off
in the condition Of the cotton crop.
The percentage in the August report
was 90 As; at that time the extent of
the damage by drought was not taken
fully into consideration, as the eff
feet was not known at the time the
correspondents made up their reports;
the report stated that the condition
of cotton then was several points lower
than reported. The reports received
this month told the havoc wrought by
the long dry spell. The average is now
only 63 per cent. In 1895 at this time
it was rs.
The other figures are: Corn 791a,
against 80 in August and 95 a year
ago.
Tobacco, 76h now, against 85h in
August and 90 in September, 1895.
Rice, rs; peanuts, 70; sorghum, So;
sweet potatoes, 50; pastures, "A; APP
pies, 80.
The crop of apples is about as near
a failure as it have ever been. The
peach crop is so small that no special
report is made this month Last month
the average was only 80 per cent.
The government report just issued
estimates the average of cotton at 20
in North Carolina. Commissioner Pat
terson regards this as entirely too high.
The crop report of the State is a week
later than the government report and
is usually more accurate.

BRYAN COMMITTEES AT WORK.
Raising Money for the Big Demon
stration.-Send in Your Contribu-
ton To-day.

The Bryan committee on lights and
decorations viii meet in Maj. S. f. Tel
fairs office, in the capitol at eleven
o'clock this morning. A full attend
ance is requested. The following COM
pose the. committee: S. +. Telfair,
chairman; C. M. Walters, William Boy
Ian, w. A. Linehan, w. g. Forsyth, w.
G. Randall, Joseph J.. Bernard.
The committee on finance began
their work yesterday morning and
made diligent canvass all day yes
terday.
Sheriff M. w. Page heads the list in
the matter of contributions. He gave
twenty dollars to the fund for Mr..
Bryan's reception.
Everybody takes an interest in the
coming of Mr.. Bryan and the silver
men of all parties are very enthusiast
tic. Bryan and silver are the princi-
pal topics of conversation on the
streets, and in the stores and hotels.
The farmers in the country round
about who bring cotton and tobacco
here are taking quite as much or more
interest in his coming than the towns
people. They will come in their wag
ons and bring their families to hear
Mr.. Bryan. The country and the city
will join in giving Mr.. Bryan a re-
ception that will be historic. Every
farmer, who lives anywhere within
reach of Raleigh should come in his
buggies and wagons and bring his
family and his tenants. And he should
urge his neighbors to come, too.
Remember, the hour is seven o'clock
and the day September nth, and Mr..
Bryan will speak in Nash Square, OPP
posite the Union depot.
The finance committee will continue
it's work to-day. They will call on
you for a contribution and if they
don't call on you hand it to some MEM
Der of the committee or send j. by
mail to Walter i. Watson, tie treas
urer. Give whatever you think you
ought to give, hut give something
ten dollars; I've dollars, two dollars, a
dollar, fifty cents-but give something.
Raleigh must sustain her reputation,
and give Bryan the biggest reception
any man ever received in the State.
AS a citizen of Raleigh it is your duty
and privilege to assist in the good
work.
1t is stated on good authority that
the elegant private car of Col. A. j.
Andrews, second vice-president of the
Southern Railroad, was rendered Mr..
Bryan for his tour through the State,
and that the tender was politely de-
clined.
The expense of the special train will
be borne by a popular contribution
from the people of the towns through
which Mr.. Bryan passes.

REDUCTION In LOCAL TARIFFS
The Railroad Commission win Hear
Arguments Of the Companies this
Morning.

ne IGdllEOdQ COMMISSION VII near
Arguments of the Companies this
Morning.
This morning at II o'clock the Rail
road Commission will hear the argu-
ment of the railroad companies in
volved, regarding the reduction in local
tariffs to correspond with the through
rates The Commission a few days
ago issued an order reducing the local
tariffs of the Southern, Seaboard, At
lantic Coast Line and Cape Fear and
Yadl1in Valley railroads in proportion
to the reduction made by the last cut
in through rates.
A large number of prominent rail
road men viii probably be present at
the meeting of the Commission this
morning.
Col. Andrews returned yesterday and
he will probably represent the South
ern. Vice-President ST. John, Attor-
ney Lee r. Watts and President r.
Curzon Hoffman, of the Seaboard, have
been in Atlanta, and will probably ar
rive here this morning.
Maj. J. w. Wilson, chairman of the
Commission, returned yesterday from
Atlanta, where he attended the meet
ing of the Georgia Railroad Commits
sion, which had under consideration
the readjustment of local rates to
correspond with the cut in through
rates. Some fifty railroad officials and
attorneys were present at the meeting.
Judge Emory Speer's mandatory in
junction restoring the cut rates put an
end to the proceedings.
