such a thing? Or, better
still, have you seen one2
The idea is enough to make
one smile, but a glance
through the camera itself
will make the holder scream
with laughter. Every object
is caricatured and made to
appear utterly ridiculous.
There is more real fun to be
secured through the posses
sion of one of these Cameras
than in a whole heap of

one and see for yourself.
The price is only 75c.
A GOOD THING to have
about your house is a TEA
IBALL. This is a decided
novelty; dry tea is enclosed
in a pretty, solid silver, or
silver-plated perforated ball
attached to a very fine chain.
All you have to do when you
want a cup of tea is to steep
this ball iE a cup of boiling
water and allow it to remain
for a few minutes and the
result is a beautiful cup of tea
free from leaves. This makes

Roanoke, Va, August 1O.-The demo-

The convention will reaffirm the Chica-

Why his Special Taxation Scheme Failed

Superintendent Mebane Tries to Explain
Why his Special Taxation Scheme Failed
Especial to The Messenger.)
Raleigh, N. c., August 11.-State Su-
perintendent Mebane when asked what
he thought of the result Of yesterdays
school election said: "The result is
not what I have labored for and ex-
pected. There are several causes.
First, the time was too short to pre-
sent the question to our people, the
mass Of whom are slow to take hold
Of any question that means more taxes.
Second, designing politicians grossly
misrepresented the cause and we heard
such logic as this: I oppose anything
the last legislature did and, therefore
oppose this Some politicians who sup
ported and voted for the bill, after
finding it not popular, became as silent
as the tomb. Third, some county news
papers opposed the measure, but news
papers, as a rule, have been generous
with their space and hearty in support.
Fourth, school officers in some counties
were politicians instead of school men.
I asked time and again for school men
to fill these offices, but was ignored.
The last cause is the squaridering Of
money for school supplies, such as
charts. This prevents the hearty sup
port Of the people. The result Of the
election is very discouraging. I have
reports that the measure carried in
five townships. Only few returns are
in yet'

OVER JEALOUS OFFICIaLs
Custom House Officials Seize a Cargo Of
Government Ammunition and Detain
the Vessel a. a Filibuster


Washington, August 10.-The govern
ment will order the release Of the
schooner Blanche Morgan, now detain-
ed at Bridgeport, Conn, suspected as
a filibuster. Captain Very, repre-
senting the government at the Bridge
port ammunition works, was at the de-
partment today and stated that the
ammunition found on the Morgan be-
1Onged to the government and was be-
ing shipped to New York, 1t may be
that the government may be called to
pay bill for demurrage growing out
of the comedy of errors involving the
detention of the Morgan.
1t is said at the war department that
the Morgan is powder boat belonging
to the Dupont Powder Company, and
that for many ears she has been en-
gagged in the sole business of carrying
powder from the Dupont mills in Del
aware to the ammunition factories in
Connecticut. A powder boat is sur
rounded by regulations as to danger
flags and lights that mark her easily
among water craft. On her return trips
the Morgan has been accommodating
the Dupont customers by taking their
fixed ammunition away from the fac
tories and delivering it at the govern
ment arsenals or outgoing steamers at
New York. 1t is thought at the depart
ment that such a boat would be we'll
known at Bridgeport. The American
Ordnance Company through Vice
President Very, has been actively at
work to secure the release of the Nor
gan. Upon the representations of Mr..
Very the war department last night
sent a couple Of decidedly positive tel
egrams to the treasury officials at
Bridgeport, requesting the prompt re-
lease of the schooner. This was or
dered this afternoon.

How to
CupeCatapph.

Every sufferer from Catarrh should
know that it is impossible to cure the
disease with sprays, washes, inhala-
tions, ETC., which are universally used.
In fact, the experience of growing
worse all the while is proof that the
treatment is all wrong. Many
who have been under treatment for
years and met with disappointment in
stead of benefit are willing to doubt
that there is any cure for Catarrh.
The trouble is that all of the treat
fnent they have received has been mis-
directed, and has not touched their
trouble. Catarrh is a stubborn deep
seated blood disease, and everybody
should know that to simply treat the
surface, that is, the local irritation,
does not reach the disease. A blood
remedy is needed, but it must be good
one; a remedy which goes down to the
very bottom OF the trouble and forces it
out. SIS. (Swift's Specific is the only
one which can have the slightest effect
upon Catarrh, for it is the only one which
goes to the seat of the disease, and per.
manently gets rid OF it. This is the only
reasonable way to treat Catarrh.
