Last season some eleven hun
dred bales of oriental rugs were en-
tered at the port of New York-proba-
bly, 10000 rugs altogether-and these
were of all grades, from the cheapest
to the most expensive. These figures
fairly represent the growth in favor OF

Helen Keller, the wonderfully edu-
Gated sightless deaf mute, has added
to her accomplishments the ability to
distinguish colors, and she can select
any desired ribbon by touch. There
have been other blind persons who
could do this, but they are exceedingly
rare.

Field Marshal Wolseley.

Lord Wolseley, Field Marshal of the
English army, is siXty-five. He at

OF Wellington, who became a field
marshal at forty-four.

during the past few years. 1t really be-
gins to look as though rugs would sup
plant carpet altogether in many of our

they lend such a variety of tone and
color to ROOM and, blessed boon!
they do away with the horrors of
house-cleaning almost entirely.

A DELIGHTED AUDIENCE,
Was the One which Heard Robert Brown
 Render Richard IEI,' Last Night

Those who failed to hear Robert J. Brown in Richard Ill.," last night at Merrill Institute missed a rare treat, and his superb effort should have been rewarded by larger a audience.
 ltis hardly possible to form a higher conception of the character of Rich ard than that given by Mr. Brown in his interpretation last evening. His delineation and articulation were perfect, and the grace, solldity. depth and sustained and impassioned feel ings portrayed was the work of an artist and q master of the English language.
 The Richard of Shakespeare is tow ering and lofty, impetuons and commanding, naughty. vioient and suhtile; bold and treachefons; confi- dent in his strength as we'll as in his cunning. and to portray emotions through wiieh the character passes requires great histrionie talent. and this Mr. Brown possesses to a marked degree.
 The words of the immortal play were properly artieulated, the facial expression of the speaker was good and his gestures graceful and in keep ing with the emotions being depicted The frequent and rapid transition of Mir. Browns voice from tue expres- sion of the fereest passion to the familiar tones of conversation was that which gave peculiar charm and novelty to Mir. Browns delnea- lions of the various characters in the play. His work, throughout, was extremely good, and all the charac- ters well taken.
 The work accomplished by Mr. Brown was of q much higher charac- ter than that Of any heretofore ar- tempted at Merrill Institute, and it has rarely been equaled OH the stage CT platform i'll this city.
 Lovers of fine elocution. character delinea ton and tie drama should not fail to be present at Merrill h. stitute tonight and hear Mir Brown in his own production, entitled: ESQ Ways the WorId.p 7

The Party Have Returned to Lexington---The
Remains of Mr., Young Are

-Four men, with the two blood hounds,
arrived here at 2 O'Clock this morning in
search of the villain who shot and killed
Mrs. A. \. Springs in Lexington early
Wednesday morning.
From member of the party it was
learned that the dogs struck a trail at
Lexington but were unable to do any
thing with it except when they struck
moist p.s,es in the road After passing
Midway, wi.leh is half way between
Winston and Lexington, the dogs lost
the trail.
The party returned to Lexington to-
day.

RACING JULY 18TH.
The Appointment of Wray as Postmas-
ter Was Surprise.

Reidsville, n. c., June 24.-(Special.)-
Arrangements have been made for a
match race at the Reidsville mile track
on July 18th between Mr.. J. w. Peay's
Clipper (ReidsviTle) and Mr. j. f. Jor-
dams Eufaula G. Greensboro
These are crack trotters-the best in
the State-and for several years both
owners have contended that their respec-
tive horse was the faster. This will be
the first time Clipper and Eufula G.. have
trotted against each other and the race
will attract considerable local interest
here and at Greensboro.
The name of j. L. Wray has been sent
by the POstoffice Department to the
President for appointment as pOstmas-
ter at Reidsville. The commission has
not been issued yet, but will be made
out at an early date, it is thought. 1t
appears that Wray stole a march on the
other candidates, as no one seemed to
expect any change would be made before
next year The news of Mr.. Wray's
success was quite a surprise to not a few,
as it was generally supposed that ex-
Postmaster Joyce would capture the
prize. The fact that Joyce was an ori-
ginal Mckinley man and that Wray
supported Reed for the Presidential
nomination, was the principal grounds
for this opinion.

HAIL-STONES THAT KILL
DOGS STRUCK DEAD BY IS OUNCE ICE
CRYSTALS.
Topeka is Windowiess From the Storm and
Surgeons Are Busy With the
Wounded.

Topeka, Kan, June 24.-The worst
hail storm known in the history of Kan
sas struck this city shortly after six
O'Clock tonight. Hail stones weighing
II TO is ounces stripped the trees of
their foliage, smashed window panes on
every hand, including the finest plate
store fronts, cut down telegraph and
telephone wires. riddled awnings and
Inflicted unprecedented damage through
out the city. Dogs were struck IN the
streets and instantly killed. =. Horses
were knocked to afseir knees. Tunaways
occurred throughout the city. When the
fury of the storm had passed. dead birds
were found everywhere. A heavy wind
and terrific lightning accompanied the
storm.
Topeka tonight looks like a city that
has withstood a siege of war guns. There
are not a dozen buildings in the town
that are not almost windowless and
many roofs were caved in The roofs
of street cars also were pierced. The
damage wrought can be imagined when
it is known that the hail stones ranged
in size from that of a hens egg to an
ostrich egg, and that thirty minutes af-
ter the storm one hail stone was picked
up which measured IA inches in circum-
ference. Surgeons are busy dressing the
wounds of persons injured in the storm,
and reports of injuries continue to be
received. Many were hurt in runaways
on the streets. The following are a
mong the most seriously hurt.
Frank Brainard, hackman, skull frac-
tured; j. D. Henderson, Liveryman,
skull fractured: Roy Hite, leg broken in
runaway; Mrs. Mary Hughes, arm
broken in a runaway; D. X. Lee, bad
scalp wound; Miss Anna Fenton, head
cut: Fred Holler, head cut.
The damage cannot be estimated but it
will amount to thousands. Window
glass is already at premium here, and
tonight three car loads was ordered
from Kansas City. Street car traffic is
stopped and electric lights are out, owing
to the demoralization of the electric sys-
tenn.

WHOSE G0LD-MINE Is IT?
ENGLAND CLAIMS THE BIG FIND AT
RAINY LAKE.
Likely TO Lead to International Dispute With
Other Boundary Complications Over
Treaty Rights.

Duluth. Mimi, June 24-Gold has
been discovered on Oak Point Island, in
Rainy Lake, which will undoubtedly lead
TO an international boundary dispute be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States. According to maps of the geo
logical survey, the island is in Canadian
territory, but according to the wording
of the treaty of Ghent, the island is
part of the State of Minnesota. Canada
has issued patents to several valuable
NJ -<g locations on the island and yigOr-
o4s protests are bSiH- cent 20 Washing
ton by American prospectors. The min
ers throughout the Rainy Lake district
are considerably wrought up over the
matter and there is probability of trou-
BILE unless something is done. The way
things now stand, the United States loses
entire control even of her waters in
Rainy Lake. as according to the geolOgi-
cal survey the United States cannot get
a boat into Rainy Lake without first
going into Canadian waters. This is a
direct violation of the treaty. The
Three Hundred island boundary dispute
is of minor Importance compared to this.

The 5000 Men Against the Mahdists
Said to Have Been all Massacred.
Brussels, June 24.-The Reforme says
it learns from a good source that the en-
tire Dhanis expedition to the headquar-
ters of the Nile, including Baron Dhanis
himself, has been massacred.
Baron Dhanis last year enlisted g.
900 men in the Congo Free State to take
part in secret expedition. The Bri-
tish government allowed a number of its
Hussar troops to join the expedition,
but it was officially denied that an An
ao4Belgian movement had been con-
certed against the Mahdists. The gen
eral impression, however, was that this
force was intended to act in conjunc-
ton with the Anglo-Egyptian expedi-
ton up the Nile and take the Mahdists
between two fires, and eventually COM
plete the re-conquest of the Soudan.
