Methodist church OF North Carolina has
the utmost confidence in DIR. Kilgo, as a
Christian man and minister and as Pres
ident of Trinity College. He has a
greater number of invitations to pulpits
and firesides than he can fill. His
preaching is with demonstration Of the
spirit. He has sent no messages nor
threats. and what he did say to GER
tain individual in connection with the
editor of the Wilmington Messenger
was falsely construed and grossly ex-
aggerated. His policy as President of
Trinity College is endorsed by his
church. 1t is now what it has been
for what it has been for months, moth
ing more, nothing less.

this week. Mr.. Allen was removed

RICHEST ENLISTED MAN.

Only a Common Soldier, and Yet He Laid
Up Fortune.
With simple military honors the old
est and wealthiest enlisted man in the
United States army was buried in the
National cemetery at West Point re-
Gently.
He was Michael eastman, who foI
more than 40 years served in the army
service detachment stationed at the mil
itary academy During the past few
years he has lived in Highland Falls,
enjoying the fruits of his long and
faithful service.
On the meager pay and allowance of
an enlisted man eastman accumulated
a small fortune. Ii is figured all the
way from $50, 900 to 100000, no one
knowing the exact amount. The poor
old soldier worked increasingly and
boarded his little fortune because he
idolized an only child, beautiful young
girl.
She was educated at Mount ST. Vim
cent, N. Y, and was afforded every op-
portunity to get an excellent education.
Last November the young woman died,
leaving an infant child. She died of a
broken heart, her mother having ex-
pired suddenly only short time before.
The death of his daughter was great
blow to the old soldier. 1t was unex.
pected, and he never recovered from the
shock

In the rear Of little shoe factory at
New City, in Rockland county, n Y,
there is small trout pond, the fish in
which have excited the wonder Of every
one who has seen them Oh account of
their extraordinary tameness and un-
usual size.
The trout is naturally one Of the
most timid of fish, but SO tame are the
trout Of this little pond that one OF
them takes worms from persons hand,
and it's latest accomplishment is TO lie
still while some one tickles it under the
belly.

Of trying il the trout would eat from
the hand and held worm down in the
water. To his surprise, one Of the trout,
the largest, came up cautiously, and
after a short time spent in getting NJ

This has been done quite frequently
since then. The trout no longer dashe,
