Blood Poison.

Contagious Blood Poison has been a o
propriately called the curse of mankind.
It is the one disease that physicians can
not cure; their mercuria1 aud potash
remedies only bottle up the poison in
the system, to surely break forth in a
more virulent form, resulting in a total
wreck of the system.

LOCAL BRIEFS

WE'VE got the best town in
the State.
The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1897-12-31

We mentioned that Ed. Fisher, colored
who was convicted at the last term of
the circuit criminal court and was serv-
ing a term of twelve months in the
county work house, for stealing lead,
escaped a couple months ago and has
sine been at large about the city, de-
flying arrest. A few weeks ago, it will
be remembered, Mr.. James Noble, fore
man at the work house, attempted to
arrest him, but he resisted and hurt
Mr.. Noble with his own pistol, the
having come out. He got
away.
Last evening about 6 o'clock MI. Noble
came upon hin in Mr.. Martin Schnib-
rben'S store on Seventh and Nixon
streets. He went up to Fisher and old
him to consider himself under arrest.
The convict slapped at him, but he
jumped out of the way. Mr.. Noble
called on John Fisher, uncle Of Fisher.
to aid in his arrest and he obeyed, but
Fisher continued to resist and
at Mr.. Noble. John Fisher took
hold Of him and MI. Noble says he
started to put the hand cuffs on him,
but Mr.. Schnibben objected to the dis
turbance in his store and put the crowd
out. Mr.. Noble then went to call for
a policeman, but when he came back,
the convict was gone.
Fisher declares hat he Will not be
taken, n if it probable thai he Will
be outlawed if he does not surrender
himself.

The New Cuban Cabinet

Washington, December 27.-The new
Cuban cabinet, which,, with the captain
general of Cuba, will form the eXecu-
tive organization under the new auton-
OmOus regime, will be announced during
the present week, according to the ex-
p%ectation of Spanish officials here.
There is no doubt that Senior Galvez
will be the first Cuban premier. He
has been long prominent as the leader
of the autonomist party in the island.
He is described as a man of wide in
fluence among the most substantial Gu
ban elements and popular with the
people at large. Senior Amblard will be
another name in the cabinet list If he
will consent to take a place. He has
been in Washington for several days
in conference with the Spanish minister
and left here last night for Cuba. 1t is
possible that Senior Amblard might pre-
fer to continue i'm parliamentary life, in
which case it is believed he will become
the leader Of the Cuban party in the
cOrteS.

ANOTHER LADY SUICIDE
Miss Annie Wells, A Prominent Young
Lady of Washington City Takes Her Own
Life With n Pistol

A special dispatch from Washington,
D. c., to The Baltimore Sun OF yes;er-
day, says:
Miss Annie Virginia Wells. daughter of
Judge Lewis 5. Wells, a prominent at
torney of this city. committed suicide
early this morning by shooting herself
through the heart.
She had been in i'll health for some time
and had suffered with an affection of the
eyes, which had greatly depressed her.
The suicide of Miss Leila Herbert last
week also added TO Miss Wells depres-
sion of spirits. and she derived a morbid
satisfaction from discussing the details
of that event. DR.. w. w. Johnson. who
attended Miss Herbert, was also attend
ing Miss Wells, and she piled him with
such eager questions concerning Miss
Herbert that the physician, fearing the
subject was affecting her mind. forbade
her to consider it. These causes, acting
upon a mind already unbalanced by i'll
ness, are thought TO have prompted her
rash act.
when she determined to take her life.
The means were not available there, and
she proceeded to her brothers room.
this she shot herself in the breast. the
bullet piercing her heart.
Her mother, who found her lying on
the floor, aroused the household. and a
physician was Summoned, but life was
already extinct. Coroner Carr gave "a GER
tificate of death in accordance with the
circumstances. Miss Wells was 30 years
o.d, and had been prominent in social
circles.

Mechanics Home Association

- The names of building associations"
given this class of institutions in our
city is certainly misleading, for they
do not build houses, neither do they
buy or own real estate. They are
really savings and Dan associations.
They differ from savings banks in the
important respect that the depositors
are the stockholders, and they only
have the privilege by their votes of
choosing from among themselves the
governing board Of the association.
The loans made are of two classes, viz:
stock loans, to those wishing to borrow
an amount not larger than they have
paid in, for which they pledge their
stock; the other is real estate loans, to
those wishing to borrow the par value
of their stOck-$100 a Share-thus an
ticipating its value at maturity, paying
interest at 6 per cent. per annum, and
securing the association against loss
by giving mortgage upon the real es-
tate, approved by the board of direc-
tors.
Taking as a guide the experience of
the Mechanics Home Association, of
this city, one Of the largest in the
state, welding a larger capital thar
most of the banks in this state, we
find that in the four series already
paid out by them, in no instance has
loans cost the borrower as much as
3 per cent. per annum: the reason is
that the stock of the borrower shares
in the profits just the same as the
stock of those who do MOI borrow. To
the wage earners and salaried men,
the Mechanics Home Association COM
mends itself as the very best place to
deposit his weekly or monthly savings,
earning, as it does for him., more thar
can possibly be obtained in any savings
bank, and giving equal facilities for
Withdrawing his money out of it at
any m All the weekl receipts,
both of dues and interest, commences
working for the stockholders as soon
as paid in, and by the compromising Of
interest, these great results are
achieved. You can easily see how
safe is the money you invest in the
Home Association, headed
by one of our most conservative and
experienced business, men, assisted by
a board equally as prudent and care
full, comprising leading business men
well known to the community.
This association has now open a new
series of stock, which Will

At the Tone of . Recent Note to Her For
eign ONCE frOm Minister on
the situation In Cuba

Washington, December e7.-The Off
Gals here are somewhat SURPRISED at
the exhibition of feeling at Madrid over
the latest note of Minister Woodford.
delivered to the Spanish foreign office
the day before Christmas. While the
note itself will not be made public at
present, it is said that there is no rea-
SON whatever why 1t should be with
held, save the fact that the preceding
steps IN the negotiations have not yet
seen the light in the newspapers and
il is desirable when a publication Is
made to preserve the complete Grain OF
vents in natural order
Possibly the correspondence will De
shortly called for by congress. IN which
case, it is not likely to be withheld on
grounds Of public policy. The last note
presented by Minister Woodford was in
answer to the Spanish note called
forth by Mr.. Woodford's very first note
after his arrival at Madrid.
Ii the initial note the UElted States
minister pointed out the interest OF his
country in an early termination of the
present struggle in Cuba and asked
when such a conclusion could be ex-
pected. The Spanish government in its
reply acknowledged our interest in the
matter, but suggested. after stating
what it intended to do to ameliorate
conditions IN Cuba, that the United
States could best exercise its good Of
fees by stopping flibustering.
To this Mt Woodford responded with
his note of last week. 1t is said to be
a purely argumentative statement OF
the position taken by the United States
and the facts set out are substantially
those so strongly drawn in the presi-
dents message Z congress-. of which it
was supposed the Spanish public had
been fully advised through the newspa-
pers. The most fOrcible statement in
the note is based upon the facts col
lected n published recently by the
United States treasury department., eX-
hibiting the great expenses to which
the United States had been put by
reason of its efforts to patrol an enor-
nous coast lin in the pursuit of a few
filibusterers and the remarkable sue
cess Of the government officials in
stopping these expeditions, as contrast
ed with the feeble efforts Of the Span
ish authorities to maintain a patrol
around the island of Cuba All of these
facts were included in Mr.. Woodford's
note, and while he put them in his own
language in presenting them to the
Spanish foreign office, it is said that
the statements concern only ents that
have already been touched upon.
According to an official
ment, the government considers that
the Spanish press attaches too great
Importance to the WoOdford note. The
government. says the announcement,
continues to regard Americas attitude
as correct, despite certain statements
in the note requiring refutation."
