PARLIAMENT AND THE TURF.
A Case In Which Government Was Al
mos Overthrown by Ascot.


mos Overthrown by Ascot.
Five or six years ago an astute Rad
ical, Mr.. Samuel Storey, with charac-
teristic wariness, very nearly caught
the government of the day tripping. He
had been "left speaking on Tuesday
night in June and announced his in
tention to continue his remarks ON a
rather Exhaustive scale upon the follow
ing Thursday, when the debate was to
be resumed. This was just what a num-
ber of Unionist gentlemen wanted, for
it happened that little ''event" known
as the Gold Cup was to be decided that
afternoon at Ascot, and, much as it
grieved them to miss the eloquence of
Mr.. Storey, they were bound to choose
between the two attractions. So-possi-
bly, with grieved hearts, and also posi-
bly, not-they hied them to the royal
heath in comfort and contentment.
On returning they looked in' to the
house of commons to see everything
was all right and found that everything
had been all wrong. For the sagacious
Sunderland Radical, having glanced
around him and beheld the poverty of
the land, thought that his own words
might be silvern, but division would
be golden. Accordingly he stated his
intention not to indulge in further crit
icism, and before the few Unionists
could recover from their amazement or
put up man to talk against time until
the Ascot visitors returned division
was called.
A few Of the 'early birds," having
missed the last race in order to reach
Westminster as speedily as possible,
drove into Palace yard as the leather
lunged policemen were shouting" wi
sionP' The dread word, borne on the
summer breeze, told it's own tale. Into
the lobby they rushed like madmen,
just in time to save the government
from an awkward defeat. Mr.. Storey,
though not sporting man, smiled
sweetly. He had been done by "only
short head" And he would have actu.
ally won if dozen horse racing lovers
Of his own side of politics had not also
abjured Westminster for the pleasant
plain Of Berkshire. Thus was Mr.. Stor-
ey prevented from bringing off glori-
ous triumph.
The moral of the tale is the fallibil-
ity of human nature-even Radical hu-
man nature. "The Cup" begat Mr..
Storey's fearful hope Of "a COUP" and
he very nearly succeeded in bringing it
off. Since that time the party whips"
have marked the Ascot Thursday with
black mark and taken heed unto their
forces.
By way of revenge it was the Ascot
Friday - which nobody troubled to
think about-that ruined the Rosebery
government in 1895. Men went away
to see the racing, and on returning to
town found, when dining at the club,
that an ardent band of astute diplomat
lists had skillfully toppled over Sir Hen
ry Campbell -Bannerman, the war min
lister. on the mparatively insignificant
question Of cordite. It is hard thing,
after a a"black" week in backing horses,
for poor legislator to find himself face
to face with the terrors Of general
election. London Telegraph.

HER REFORMED DIET.
Mrs. Newlight Makes Series of Astound-
ing Discoveries.

Mrs. Newlight Makes a Series of AstOund-
ing Discoveries.
Its just awful how criminally ig-
norant I've been regarding our food"
said Mrs. Newlight to her husband the
other day. ~ can never be thankful
enough that joined Professor Scarem 8
class in domestic science. My! It's q
wonder we're not all dead, ignorant as
I've been. There's one thing sure,
George Newlight-there'll be no more
tomatoes on my table,
"Why?"
Because Professor Scarem explained
to us today how tomatoes cause mark
ed arrest Of vital activity in those who
eat them, and he proved that the acid
of tomatoes acts almost like poison on
the membrane of the stomach. Then
I'm done with any berries that have
seeds in on my table. -
"I'd like to know why?"
"You wouldn't ask if you d heard the
professors talk on appendicitis and it's
cause. A single dish of raspberries or
strawberries may bring on that awful
trouble. It's fearful to think Of the risks
people will run just to crafty the palate.
And here we've always allowed our
children to have sugar and cream on
their oatmealr'
"What of it,"
"Well, you'd say What Of it?' if you
could hear the professor explain how the
combination Of oatmeal and cream and
sugar causes dreadful gases to arise in
the stomach and utterly retards diges-
tion. I've not the slightest doubt that
the awful spasm our little Mamie had
last year was due entirely to this cause.
Then there's bananas. Why, George
Newlight, they're simply rank poison
And you'll get no more white bread at
my table" I"
"Why not?''
Because there's no more nutrition in
it than there would be in bread made
out Of pure starch. Every bit Of the nu-
tritive element has been refined out Of
it. Itmakes those who eat it thin blood
ed"
"Do look thin blooded or as if
lacked nutrition?" asked Newlight, who
weighs 1919.
''That doesn't signify. You don't
know what day you'll begin to break
down under such bread. Well have
nothing but graham or whole wheat
-four hereafter And I've done with
coffee too. II you could see and hear
Professor Scarem demonstrate just how
poisonous it is to the whole human sys-
tenn you'd shun it as you shun opium.
He says that cocoa shells is the only
real safe warm drink.
"I'd as soon drink dishwater, said
Newlight.
"You'd better drink dishwater than
your poisonous coffee. If you'd only
take little time to study domestic sci.
ence and look into this food business q
little, it would be good thing for you,
health and the health Of your family.
There's lot more things we've been
jeopardizing our lives by eating in oul
criminal ignorance, and I'm going te
cut all of them of our list. -
And she did, which is the reason that
Newlight is taking most Of his meals
down town at present. Detroit Fret

HOW TO. FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand tweny. four hours I;
a sediment or settling indicates an un.
healthy condition Of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain IN the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulflls
every wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of
the urinary passages. Itcorrects inability
tohold urine and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that nm
pleasant necessity of being compelled to
get up many times during the night to
urinate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the.highest for it's wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. If you need

The Wilmington and Weldon railroad
yesterday tells Us that the frost did
not kill all the huckleberries up that
way. He thinks there will be a good
crop of Sampson Blues.
The shipments Of strawberries and
truck between here and Mt. Olive, onthe
Wilmington and Weldon railroad, yes
aerday, was the heaviest Of the season.
Seven refrigerator cars Of the Cali
fornia Fruit Transportation Company
carried off 5000 crates of strawberries
TO the northern markets. Nine cars
went to New York, four to Philadel-
phia, three to Boston and one to Chi
cago. Two refrigerator cars of truck
also left for Philadelphia. The pros
poets are good for still larger ship
ments on Monday.
The Messenger returns thanks to Mr..
j. S. Westbrook, of Faison, the pro-
gressive pioneer berry grower, for a lot
of very fine middleton Early straw
berries. These berries are of handsome
size, delicious flavor, beautiful and uni
form color, and are the firmest of all
the varieties of berries we have ever
seen. On account of their solid quail
ties the berry growers regard them as
the very best carrying berries for
shipment to distant markets.. They
are also the earliest berries in this
section, Mr.. WestbrOok having COM
menced picking on the 18th of March.
In consequence of their fine quality
these berries have been bringing from
20 to 20 cents more per quart than any
other berries shipped to the northern
markets. Mr.. Westbrook is making a
specially of this berry.

INJUNCTION.
Judge Adams Enjoins the Private Stock
holders of the Atlantic and North Caro-
lima Railroad From Holding a Meeting.
ESPECIAL to The Messenger.l

SpNNACAi - IN NiN1SN 2toSi
Raleigh, N. c., April 23.-Judge Adams
grants a temporary restraining order on
the application OF President Hancock of
the Atlantic and North Carolina railway,
enjOining its private stockholders from
meeting. Norminally the application is in
behalf of the county of Craven: really it
is on behalf Of the state by Hancock. 1t
is returnable before Judge Timberlake
May 9th. c. b. Aycock applied to Judge
Adams for the order. The counsel are
Aycock & Daniel, Pearsall, Ward and S.
W. Hancock.
The federal court has enjoined the gov
ernor from appointing state proxy for
this road. Some OF the private Stockhold-
ers issued a circular urging all private
stockholders to meet April 9th, so as to
change bylaws and evade the amend
ment adopted at the last Legislative ses-
sion before appointment of state proxy.
The amendment referred to provides tina
no meeting of stockholders shall be
effective unless the state proxy is per-
Sonalfy present and that his presence
shall be necessary to make a quorum.
Judge Adams was at work until 2 O'Clock
this morning on this case.
