MISER FREEZES TO
DEATH.
c. 6. Phelps dies i'll his hut on
the Pool Road Near Raleigh.

News & Observer.
For fifty years Or more, c. G.
Phelps, a native of Wake county,
has been living On a little farm
near Raleigh. Up to fifteen
years ago his mother lived with
him, and since then he has lived
the life of recluse. Naturally
he became a miser and in his
hut, two-room house, he has
collected almost museum. He
was industrious and thrifty, and
was possessed, it has always
been thought, of considerable
money, but if this be so, no liv>
ing human being knows where
it is. He was robust and heal
thy, especially SO for one of his
age, and the community in
which he lived was surprised
On Saturday last when the news
was spread about that Miser
Phelps was dead. Early in the
morning. Mrs. Buffaloe, a neigh
Dor, went to carry the old man
some Christmas dainties. She
knocked at the door, but there
was no response. She heard
heavy breathing inside. She
called several other neighbors
who forced open the window
and went in. The old man was
lying on the floor half dressed.
There was no FIRE and the body
was cold and rigid, but life was
not entirely extinct. They did
ali possible to save him, but he
was too far gone and died
short while after being found.
After the funeral search was
made for a will, but none was
found. Phelps had no near rel,
atives, but several families in
the county are distant relatives.
The house is a perfect rendez-
vous for all kind of relics and
oddities. Considerable Confed-
crate money was found, and
some rare old silver coins, inclu-
ding a dollar made on Wash
ington's birthday. No consid>
erah'e amount of money was
found, but it is believed that he
has much money, and that at
some time it will come 10 light.
1t is said that when he went to
the war he took six thousand
dollars in gold with him car
ried it on his person all through
the war and brought it back
with him when the war closed.
He was II years old and had
lived III Wake county all his
life, except the time he was in
the war.
He knew but few people, and
but few knew him. His associ>
ates were limited to a very few
nearby neighbors, and even with
these he was not very communi
cative. Further search will be
made by his relatives for a will
or other documents that may
throw light on money and its
whereabouts.

A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN SUI
CIDES.
Miss Wells, of Washington, a
Friend of Miss Herbert, ends
Her Life With a Pistol
Bullet.

The recent tragic death oi
Miss Leila Herbert, the daugh
ter of the Ex-Secretary OF the
Navy, is given as the reason for
the suicide which occurred Sun
day, December goth of Miss An
ME. Virginia Wells, all accom-
plished young society woman
and daughter of Lewis ),
Wells, a Well-known attorney.
The young woman shot herself
through the heart with her
brothers revolver at the resl>
dencc of her father, 1911 N. ST.,
northwest, Washington, D. {.
Miss Wells had met Miss Her
bert a number of times, and was
very much attached to her. She
herself had been confined to the
house for four months by ill.,
ness, and this, combined with
the shock caused by the death Of
her friend, brought OH melan-
cholia, which resultedin suicide.
The deed was apparently entirely
unprecedented, and coming i'm
mediately after Christmas tes-
tivities in the house completely
prostlated har aged mother.
Miss Wells was 80 years OF
age, and very beautiful.

COMING OF THE MILLENNIUM.
Latest Prophecy Of prof" An
derson. of the Holiness Band"
of Lyme. Conn.

of what is to happen when the
gaeat change Of the world comes
two years hence. Since the
time allotted" writes the Profess
sor, "to the, four Gentle Em>
pires end on November 18th,
1899. at evening (probably) Je>
rusalem time, and the fifth king
dom, that of Israel, begins. let
us consider some OF the charac>
teristics of that kingdom. and we
shall indeed see that the procla-
nation that heralded the gilt to
the earth of that kingdom was'
indeed, Good tid;ngs of JOY
which shall be to all people
The first characteristic of this
kingdom will be the rigid aud
exact justice with which the law
will be administered. All op
preston of the poor will cease,
and any attempted oppression
will be checked in the begin
ming.
"Second-It shall be a king
dom of peace. There shall be no
war in all the earth for a thous-
and years, and then but one great
revolt, followed by an eternity o:
peace.
Third There shall be an
abundance Of food. No more
hunger, no more want of any
kind. Every desire of a mans
heart that is not wrong shall be
abundantly sati6ed. In order
that there may be this abundance
the climate will be changed, and
as result, there will be such
fertility as the world has not yet
seen. The animals will become
peaceful and eat grass again.
The deserts will be fertile, and
from Jerusalem a river will flow
into the Dead Sea, freshing its
waters, and then on into the In
dian Ocean. All that desert land
shall be a very garden.
Another point is mentioned
by Micah, and that is there will
be no house rent to pay. They
shall sit every man under his
own vine and under his fig tree.
There will be no more great tens
ement houses, no more slums,
filled with every kind of evil, but
every man shall own his own
house and open yard. l think
of how many there are who suf>
fer for air and see the great bles-
sing that this little thing will
bring! Again there will be
healing for all diseases.
"Then shall the eyes of the
blind be opened and the ears of
the deaf shall be unstopped.
Then shall the lame man leap
as a hart and the tongue of the
dumb shall sing. Those pa
rents who have laid away their
little ones shall know that never
again shall that sorrow come to
the children of men, for There
shall be no more thence an in
fant of days.
Think Of all the romances and
schemes of a golden age from
Plato and Thomas Moore to
Howells and Bellamy, and then
think that the blessed reality
exceeds those books a hundred
fold. And then look at the hopes
less outlook before us under the
operation of the present harsh
law of the survival Of the httest,
how Spencer sees nothing be-
fore us, but a crushing social
tyranny. and how Huxley sees
that the necessity consequent OF
present arrangements is to press
the great part of men down in
to constant life Of starvation
and then say if these things that
7 am telling these people are
not the best of good news"

Storing Vegetables.

For cabbaPcs and potatoes there is no
necessity of digging trench. A place
can be cleared off in the surface of the
ground or feet wide and as long as
may be needed Set good stout forked
stake at each end and lay in there a good
stout pole. Pile the cabbage or potatoes
under this, putting layer of straw in the
bottom and then cover with straw. Take
boards and set one end In the ground and
the other against the long pole Take
pains to make all tight so that the dirt
will not be drifting through. Then put
on a good layer Of earth, leaving hole
for ventilation in the top and providing
good drainage on the outside.
Later on, after there is good freeze, put
in another layer Of earth or straw-either
one will answer-and at the same time
stop up the hole left for ventilation. This
will make a more even temperature than
II all the covering is put on at once. There
are two advantages with this plan. One
is that it is easier to provide good drain
age, and the other is that the vegetables
will be more convenient to get at.
Apples, beets, carrots, turnips-in fact,
vegetables OF any kind-can be stored in
the same way and will readily keep in q
good condition. Louis Republic.
