The good Of throbbinl multiludcs has sought
Agrander, higher destiny, has wrought.

You live martyrs life for some grand
Building the temple of just, righteous

For ingrates to revile and overthrow.

Are plucked by Freedom from n martyrs

way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitu-

famed condition Of the mucous lining OF the

Deafness is the result, and unless the innam-

NEW YORK, November -S.-General
Fitzhugh Lee. Consul-General at Habana,
will sail for his post of duty on Wednes-
day.
General Lee was reticent to-day In
speaking of Cuban affairs, but referred
with satisfaction to his interview with
President Mckinley last Friday.
ut was. of course gratifying to me,
said General Lee" to have the President
tell me that my course as consul
general met with his approval. de told
me that he had received letters from repre-
sentative men of all sections, who ex-
pressed their satisfaction at my retention
in office. or course, | cannot say what
my instructions are, except that | am TO
look out for the rights Of American citi-
zens."
LAS to President McKinley's wishes,
all that I can say is that he desires
peace"
Asked as to the effect of General
Bancos appointment to succeed General
Weyler, General Lee said: "Of course,
when a commander is replaced by an
other in the field, it follows that the new
commander is to use a new policy. Gene
raj Blanco would do that. even though
he had received no special instructions.
What General Blanco's policy Will be

RALEIGH'S BUDGET.
TO HAVE A PORTRAIT OF NATHAN
TEL MACON.
That Penitentiary whiskey-why So
Much is Used-Mixed with Genuine.
A Charter Granted--rersonal and
General Notes.

RALEIGH, N. c., November s.-(Spe-
cial)-For many years the government
and also this State have desired to OBJ
tain a portrait of Nathaniel Macon. 1t Is
now learned that the long effort seems TO
be at last successful. Macon persistently
refused to allow his portrait to be painted.
The penitentiary authorities say that
the large quantities of whiskey they have
purchased was for the convicts at work
on the Roanoke farms. These are given
whiskey and quinine as daily ration.
1t is mixed for them in great quantities.
prison officials say, and they add that II
this was not done not half would be able
to work. Chairman Dockery, OF the
Penitentiary Board. says that last week
out Of 700 on the roll only about 400 were
able to pick cotton.
Monazite mining in this State appears
TO have ceased. The Brazilian monazise,
brought in as ballast. has knocked 1t out
Of market. But Senator Pritchard ex-
poets the duty of cents per pound when
he secured to make the mining or II
again very profitable.
The Secretary of State issues charter
to the Dunn & Lilli 1gton Telephone Com
pany; capital 5000; principal office at
Dunn; corporators, G.. X. Grantham, ID.
III. Mclean, and others.
Among arrivals to-day are Colonel
Theodore f. Davidson, ex-Attorney- Gene
raj, and wife, Of Ashevslle.
1t Is learned that Judge Robinson, be-
fore whom the mandamus case TO compel
the State Treasurer to pay the Carteret
county oyster claims was argued, finds
that fhe claim must be paid.
State-Auditor Aver Is right along with
the free-pass people. He has an annual
on the Atlantic and North Carolina rail-
way, and says so.
Colonel w. II. s. Burgwyn Is pressing
the matter of having the body of Gene
raj Thomas L. Clingman finally inferred
at Asheville, in Buncombe county, which
he loved so well.
The people of this city are greatly
pleased that Rev. Robert Strange decides
to remain at Wilmington. He was for
several years rector of the Church Of
the Good Shepherd here, and is greatly
beloved.
Some movement of moment is on the
tapis among the Populists. 1t may occur
this week. Much secrecy is observed
1t has something TO do with the meeting
of the Populist State Committee, which
is soon to be held, or rather forced to
be held.
The State Fair authorities, in reply
to criticisms upon the fact that big
farmers get the prizes, say that If they
depend upon the small farmers they
would hardly get a wagon-load of ex-
hibits: that they offered the special
500 Prize to induce the big farmers
to compete, such as Vanderbilt. Carr,
Wolf and Bagwell.
DR.. George w. Blackwale is very sick
at his home here. His illness began
with an attack Of vertigo.
The news of the discovery of very
rich bed of pebble phosphate on the peni-
tertiary land at Castle Hayne is in
teresting. There are phosphate deposits
in nine counties, and it is strange that
they are not much more extensively
worked. as they are the most northerly
of the beds.

Mr.. Eston Randolph. for the defence.
alluded to the southern sentiment that
convicted a man In advance charged
with any crime affecting a woman's
honor. Judge ID. Tucker Brooke closed
for the defence in an able argument OF
an hour and a quarter. He said that
he did not condone or countenance the
action Of his clients, but that they, be-
ing charged with conspiracy TO debauch
a young wife. must be proved guilty of
that, and not of reprehensble conduct.
He held that the only conspiracy which
had been proven was one against the
good name, but not the chastity, OF the
child wife. Captain Alfred p Thorn
closed for the prosecution in one of the
ablest arguments ever heard here, and
the case was then submitted.
