HUMAN HEARTS.

Hal Reeds play, Human Hearts,
that is to be presented at the Academy
Thursday night, and for the first time
in Raleigh, is said to be one of the great
est melodrama successes of recent years.
The assurance of it's popularity is the
fact of crowded houses and runs in New
York and Boston, where the press has
been hearty in praise, both of the play
and the company. 1t is one of II. G..
Miners greatest productions and the
organization is of a character to promise
our theatre-goers a delightful entertain
ment and an attraction that the Acad-
envy takes pleasures in offering to its
patrons. The cast includes the author
of the piece, Hal Reid, well known and
and popular in the line of romantic roles.

DARE COUNTY BEARS.

Capt. Basnight, the celebrated bear
hunter, has devoted but little time to
his accustomed sport since he was in
Raleigh during the first week in October.
But information has been received by
letter from a friend of his at Manteo
that the Captain has added two huge
ones to his record within the last few
days, and that the meat was ''rich, rare
and juicy" He invites his friends to
come to Dare and distinguish them
selves in killing hears" The readers of
the News and Observer will perhaps re-
member the recent account given of his
wonderful performances as a bear
hunter.

SUPERINTENDENT OF HEALTH

Acknowledgement Walser gives the
following opinion to DIR. Richard H.
Lewis, secretary of the State Board of
Health:
In reply to your question, it is my
opinion, first, that failure of commits
5ioners to elect a county superintend-
ent Of health on the first Monday in
May, as is required by the law of 1897,
amending the laws of 1893, may be
remedied by holding the election at
some other meeting, and the commits
sioners are not fuucti offcio. but still
nave power to elect, treating the time
fixed in the act as merely directory;
second, / do not think the county SUI
perintendent of health, should. under
any circumstances, delegate the per-
Torrance of his duties to an unregister-
ed physician practicing in open violation
Of the law"

HIGH INSURANCE RATES.
Raleigh Pays for Heavy Losses by
Other Parts Of the State.

lAdIGISH i dN lbH AitdNy llOSSCS ny
Other Parts Of the State.
Mr.. Robert c. Strong, chairman of
the committee on Insurance of the
Chamber of Commerce, says that so far
as he has been able to ascertain the
fact, the only argument for the present
very high rates of insurance here is that
heavy losses occur in other parts of the
State: and that it is necessary for the
enormous profits made here to repay
the insurance companies for losses sCs-
tanned in other cities and in the country,
where the rate would otherwise have
to be made so high as to exclude bust
ness. He says he believes that the
greater number of companies will not
write country property, and if the cIti-
zens of Raleigh will stand to their rights
the rate could be greatly reduced and a
handsome profit paid to the insurance
companies. He is gathering all infor-
nation he can, and thinks he will have
some very interesting information to
give the Chamber of Commerce at its
next meeting.

RUSSELL DEFENDS ROBINSON.
But Acknowledges That He Has Been
Riding on a Pass.

Governor Russell is mad-mad be-
cause Judge Robinson has been caught
'totin' passes"
In his first spasms the Governor
shrieked: "It's lie out and out, and
the authors of it are INSCRIPTIONS. 1t
is put up job
Rather choice language this for the
chief officer Of q State-especially the
proud old State Of North Carolina
and about something that doesn't d.
rectly concern him in the least. But to
return to the pass business. After the
reporter had gone the Governor began
to think. The process of cerebration
convinced him that he had made a
mistake, so he sent for the reporter
again and amended the interview thus:
'I know Judge Robinson has not ac-
cepted a free pass in his judicial ca
pacity since he was elected a Judge Of
the Superior Court. Up to the time Of
his election to the bench he was re-
ceiver of the National Bank of Will
mington and as such accepted a free
pass from the Wilmington and Weldon
Railroad. Mr.. A. G.. Ricaud succeeded
Judge Robinson as receiver after he
went on the bench. On one occasion
Judge Robinson's presence was requir-
ed in Wilmington to explain some mat
ter pertaining to the bank and Mr.. Ric-
aud sent him a Wilmington and Weldon
pass. which he accepted. This instance
led to the cutlery against Judge Robin
son, when he did not accept or use the
pass in a judicial capacity"
There may be some consolation TO
Judge Robinson in this defense, but it
is hard to find it. Governor Russell does
not seem to have improved much in eX-
planning the free pass business since he
told the world that he rides on them be-
cause Judge Simonton does.
As for Senator Butler, he denies in
to-day's Caucasian that he went to Nash
vile Exposition on free pass, and
adds: '"rhe papers that charge that
Senator Butler rides on free passes are
publishing falsehoods, and they know it,
While in the business of denying the
"We have noticed that several papers

have published a clipping from a Rocky
Mount paper which stated that Senator
Butler in his speech at Rocky Mount
charged that the brute that committed
the nameless crime in Richmond county
was hired to do so by Democrats to
furnish them with political capital. In

preach to spirits. The spirit of Jehovah
Jesus preached to the antideluvians
through Noah. You speak of an inter-
mediate state. This is your only proba-
ton. You die and your spirit is held
in chains Of darkness until the final
judgment day. Doing penance is not
repentance. Ask the Christian sailor
to illustrate what is repentance and he
will say, Turn the ship around and sail
the other way. Ask the Christian sol
der and he viii say, Right about and
march the other way.
Repentance is turning towards God
and staying turned"
At the close of the sermon a short af-
ter meeting was held and much interest
manifested. The meetings will continue
during the week.

AFTER TIE COLLECToRsHIP.

Mr.. e. G.. Duncan, of Beaufort, who
wants to succeed Mr.. Simmons as Collcc-

left yesterday for Washington, to make
another effort to get the place. At one
time it seemed almost certain that he
would get it. Now his chances are not
SO bright. Cobb. of Elizabeth City, is

not a few here who think in the end
the Beaufort man will come out at the
little end of the horn.
