EPISCOPAL COUNCIL.
Third Days Proceedings of the
Session i'm This City.

Daily Argus last Saturday.
The Council of the East Caro-
lima Diocese re-assembled in St.
Stephens Episcopal church in
this city at 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and after the reading
of the minutes of the morning
session by the secretary Rev. F.
U. Skinner, the Bishop announced
the report of the trustees of ST.
Mary's School, Raleigh, as the
special order for that hour. The
report was read by DIR. Strange,
and showed the school to be in a
thriving condition. DIR. Strange
reported that the Diocese of
North Carolina had bargained for
the property of ST. Mary's School
for which they had promised to
pay $50, 900, and that the board
of trustees had been incorporated
under the laws of the State. There
are to be sixteen trustees in all;
eight from the Diocese of North
Carolina, four from the Diocese
of East Carolina, and four from
the missionary jurisdiction of
Asheville. A payment of $1O,-
900 must be made on the school
property in the near future, and
it was proposed by members of
the Council to devote the So, 900
which they now have on hand for
educational purposes toward this
payment. This move met with
right much opposition, and a
lengthy discussion ensued. The
matter was finally made a special
order for 1870 o'clock this morn
ing, when it will be disposed of.
Rev. Stewart Mcqueen, the
clerical trustee from this Diocese
of the University of the South,
made his annual report, which
showed the University to be in a
prosperous condition. It opened
this year with larger number of
students than for many years.
The University is situated at Sc
vance, Tenn, and most of the
Southern Dioceses are banded to-
gether for its support, which ex-
plains why there is a trustee
from this Diocese.
The Council adjourned to meet
at $50 this morning.

RED HAIR In ALL AGES.
Helen of Troy, NinOn De I'EnclOs~
Beatrice Cenci and Mary
Stuart Had 1t.

Since time immemorial red
hair has been the object Of ill
humored jokes-just why no one
seems to know, unless it be that
Iudas Iscariot was thus endowed.
And yet. despite the popular
prejudice against auburn locks,
there are few things more beau-
tiful than a woman with such
hair.
Red headed women have
played prominent parts in the
worlds history and have caused
many a kingdom to tremble and
even fall. Helen of Troy was
red-headed, and she certainly
caused trouble enough for one
woman. Catherine 1, of Russia,
Joan of Arc. Elizabeth of Eng
land, Mary Stuart, Anne of Aus
tria, EX>EmPreSs Eugenie,
Ninon de PEnclos, Lucretia Bor-
gia and Beatrice Cenci had red
hair and all are famous.
Nevertheless, it is a curious
fact that in all ages there has
been aversion to hair of this
hue. Red has always been con-
sidered the color of war and
bloodshed. and the cruelest gods
of savage races have always been
adorned with red topknots.
The ancient Egyptians were
violently opposed to red hair.
and once year burned a maiden
Of this description in the hope of
exterminating Or lessening what
they considered a curse.
In Spain red hair is abhorred
on the ground that it is j udas
hair" Among some savage races
red hair is held in great esteem,
especially amcng some of the
Alaskan tribes.
In New Zealand a redsheaded
woman is considered as on the
right road to paradise.
Students of red hairology say
that a woman thus adorned is
more cruel, brighter, more decep
tive and more ambitious than a
woman having other color hair
Whatever truth there may be in
this, it is fact that red haired
women have a strange fascinas
ton for most men, aud red heads
ed old maids are almost un-
known.

Kansas City, Mo-. May 21.-

WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED.
San Francisco Talks of Putting
Them to Work Raising Sugar
BeetS.

San Francisco May 21.---The
Salvation Army and the Citizens
Committee are working hard to
solve the problem of finding work
for the unemployed of this city.
It looks now as though several
hundred persons would be set
tied in colony at Salinas and
raise sugar beets for Claus
Spreckels's big beet-sugar facto-
ry. The scheme is to get Gov
ernment land and the use of other
farming land and settle colonies
of unemployed, furnishing them
with tools and food till they can
raise crop.
Claus Spreckels offered to-day
to take all the sugar beets raised
in the Salinas Valley at 81 ton.
He cited the case of a couple of
Danes in the Salinas region who
last year netted $1,000 from a
crop of beets. They got fifteen
tons of beets from each acre. At
the same time a man on the next
ranch raised only six tons OF
beets to the acre. The differ
ence was due to the activity and
industry of the Danes. The two
pieces of land were entirely the
same in character. Shreckels
said the market for beets could
not be overstocked.

CUBAN RESOLUTION.
Speaker Reed Will Confer with
the President Before Action
is Taken by the House.

Washington, May 21.-No
official information could be obs
tanned as to what action the
House will take on the Cuban
resolution passed by the Senate
yesterday. but it was understood
that Speaker Reed would have a
conference with the President
on the subject at All early day
and no action would be taken
until after that conference. The
inference waSthat the action of
the House managers would be
guided to large extent by the
result of the conference. It is
probable that some attempt will
be made on the part of the Dems
ocrats to have the resolution
considered as soon as it reaches
the House, but this can not be
done except by unanimous con-
sent, which will not be given, Or
by a special order from the COM
mittee on rules. This special
order will not be brought in until
fhe Republican leaders are ready
tor some action to be taken.

A HOT FIGHT WITH BANDITS.
Millionaire Callahan Alive-He
Saw His Partner Butchered
BY Mexican Outlaws.

st. Louis, May 21.-Mr. Ed
ward Callahan, owner of the Bar
ranca silver mine, yielding 100
tons Of $40 ore per day, and a
millionaire, is at the Terminal
Hotel. He is en- route to New
York, where he expects to have
the best treatment for injuries he
received in a fight with bandits. 1t
was widely reported at the time
that he had been killed.
On April 20 Mr.. Callahan and
his partner, James E. Kaline,
were held up near Ameca, Mexico,
by Mexican bandits while on their
way to their mine with the weekly
pay roll. After receiving twelve
knife wounds, Mr.. Callahan fell
across the wagon seat, weak from
the loss of blood. Lying there,
helpless, he witnessed a terrible
sight.
"The team had travelled per-
haps 100 yards after we were at
tackled" said Mr.. Callahan, "and
about twenty feet back, lying in
the middle of the road, l saw
Jim. He was on his face, but I
could see he was not dead, although
the blood was pouring from a
wound in his back and dyeing the
dust about him. AS | lay there,
helpless, l saw his hand steal back
to his gun, and a sudden hope
sprang up within me. But the
Mexicans, too, had seen the move,
and it cost poor Jim his life.
"With yell, one of the fell
lows sprang on him and wrenched
his guu from his belt. L had
raised my head to see, and point
ing the six-shooter, he fired every
chamber at me, but without
effect, although I dropped down
again. Then, raising his dirk.
which was at least eighteen inches
long, he plunged it into poor Jim's
body repeatedly, nearly every
blow, as examination afterward
showed, going through him. Then
he raised his dirk once more, and
shouting to his companions the
bull-fghter's sfini' plunged the
dirk into the body between the
shoulders with all his might.
Then they came toward me.
81 thought they were going to
finish me in the same way, and |
sprang up as they approached.
One of them shot at me, but did
not hit me, and three sprang on
the wagon. ] seized one and
threw him off bodily, then jumped
myself. 1 backed up against the
edge of the road and faced them,
and they did not come nearer, but
contented themselves with throw
ing stones at me. One struck me
on the head, while another broke
my nose. 1 fell, and the last !
remember was one of them say
ing: Let's finish him.
"The others replied that |
would not live anyway, and,
jumping into the wagon, they
drove off, taking the silver with
them.
"When l recovered conscious
ness I was at the house of DR..
Selosia. He bandaged me up and
sent me to Guadalajara. There l
was again doctored, and last week
was out of bed. Now I'm going
to New York to get fixed up as

do it. -
Mr.. Callahan left Philadelphia
eight years ago and went to Mex

lived in Ottawa, Ia. They formed
