THE YELLOW KID IN TOWN.

Have you seen the Yellow Kid? Well,
he's in town. He came to see the Car
nivap Tuesday night at the Academy.
DO you know he has the finest nose for
fun in seven States, and he scented the
Carnival long way off as the funniest,
best, brightest, play of the season.
1t will be worth the admission (50c)
just to see the Yellow Kid enjoy himself.
The play is a translation from the
French adapted for the Clique Drama
tique," and abounds in situation and
clever dialogue. The costuming is ele-
CANT, and the stage setting fine. You
can't go TO the Mardi Gras, you know,
so the Carnival has come to you, and
You must go; really you must-its for the
Rex Hospital, and charity is a charity
whether it's a church dime party or a
jolly Carnival. Really you'll laugh till
You need a doctor. Ask the Yellow Kid
about it. He knows lot and maybe he'll
tell you something!!

animals.
The bill names as incorporators Messrs.

and that both he and his brother, Mr.
John U. Smith, were opposed to cock
fighting. He did not authorize this use
of his name.
This bill lis said to have been drawn
by a certain well known Raleigh magis-
trate 1t is an exact copy of the one
introduced last session by Rice, of New
Hanover, to apply to Wilmington.
Though this bin is to apply to Wake
county, it was introduced by the Nash
county representative.

w. b. Cooper, a young man, well con-
nected, and formerly the leading mer-
chant in his section Of the county, is the
young man: and Matte Richardson is
the young lady, who is now pregnant
and charges Cooper with having seduced
her under promise of marriage.
When the unfortunate affair first OBJ
tanned publicity, Cooper fled, but after
wards he returned in the vain endeavor
of compromising the matter by paying
Miss Richardson a sum of money. To
Cooper's surprise, she refused to c0mpro-
mise under any other condition than
marriage, which condition Cooper would
not accept, which has resulted in Cooper s
beng bound over to appear before the
Superior court to answer to the charge
of seduction, under the promise Of mar
rage, the Justice fixing the bond at $1,000.
Cooper has succeeded in giving the bond,
and now much interest is centered in the
probable result of the trial. He, in ad-
dition to asserting his innocence, charges
her, ii is said, with intimacy with an
other.

Do people travel the more comfortably
in Europe or in American That depends
Abroad the tendency of people was and is
to get away from one another, because at
first only the better classes travelled. In
America people have seemed not to mind
much being together. The small railway
carriage, for few persons only, was the
natural result in England and on the CON
tincnt, while in our own country the day
coach for all classes developed itself The
temperament which prefers retirement,
freedom from intrusion, dislikcs the bur
den of seeing other people come and go
and is weared by having its attention
constantly attracted by crying children, or
newspaper boys, or by many diverse OBJ
jccts, may therefore travel more comfort
ably elsewhere than in America. But if
one does not mind lot of other people
about, and likes many little things called
convcnicnces and modern improvements,
in the United States is the place for him.
The attitude of the American railway
manager is more deferential to the public
than that of the corresponding official
abroad, and he processes to do more for the
traveller. -Lewis Morris Iddings in Serb

NOT AN ANARCHIST.
But There Was an Alarm Before He Dis
covered What Was Loaded.

A sGdate looking young man strolled in
an distracted way into Delmonico's the
other evening He carried under his left
arm Il little square package done up in
light wrapping paper and tied with pink
string. He was apparently man of me-
thodical habits. The hotel detective men
tally noted this for future reference. Me-
thUdical mon are sometimes as dangerous
as those who work without n purpose or
a plan" There was nothing about tho
aspect of the young man that might lead
the casual observer to suspect him of being
an anarchist His hair was of ordinary
length, and his linen was faultless. 1t is
on record, however, that there have been
anarchists who have dcflcd the traditions
of their kind and have become addicted to
the bath and fine apparel.
The young man set his package down
on the table with a carefulness that was
remarked by the waiter who took his or
der and did not recognize him as n steady
| customer. After wiping his eyeglasses and
| adjusting them the young man leaned
back in his chair and scanned the bill of
fare He startled the waiter by remarking:
Il think ! will take plate of beef
| and
Then he realized where he was and call
| ed for bottle and bird. Then some
| thing happened that threw the restaurant
| into turmoil. Tho young man got up rs
! if he had sat on tack and examined the
seat of his chair. There was mufllcd
chatter that sounded to the walters like the
electrical buzz of an Internal machine.
They regarded the movements of the young
7 man as somewhat suspicious The young
man hinsclf seemed to be in almost as
much Of u state of mind as tho walters. He
could not imagine where the whir-r-rr- r
cane from. lie pcered under the table
after inspecting his chair. Forty persons
! in the restaurant had concentrated a
startled gaze upon him. He was unaffect.
ed by their scrutiny, but was much puzzled
by the mullled whir-r-r-rr
Sixteen walters gathered around him,
looking pale and apprehensive. The hotel
detective stalkcd toward the young man.
trying his best to look as if he were not
afraid. The stold expression of the young
man changed to one of joyful relief. He
picked up the pink corded package, and
the sound that came from ii convinced
even the hotel detective that the young
man had bought an alarm clock. All the
walters smiled and returned in hurry tC
their respective places. The young mar
did not know that the alarm clock was
loaded.-Ncw York Sun.

Copper.

No metal Is increasing in Importance
more rapidly throughout the world than
copper Half of the copper mined is pro
duced in this country, the total output in
the United States last year reaching a,
722, $50 pounds, little more than half of
which was exported. Our copper yield IL
now 40 per cent larger than that of the
world in 1891. The increased demand for
the metal is due to electrical appliances,
