MONDAY last. when Col. Sage Green.
 Y of this town, departed for Pilot Hill to deliver a speech to the citizens of that town in the interests of new railroad, we warned him to begin and end with the railroad and not wander of 10 Christopher Columbus, as we knew he would be quite apt to do. The colonel has a lecture on Columbus, and while never yet invited to deliver it as a whole he is always seeking 10 work in q few chapters under some other head. Ne know the Pilot Hill people like book. They can stand good deal of Gen. Jackson and William Shakespeare, but they are down on Christopher Columbus and George Washington. The colonel thanked us for our caution and rode gayly away and that evening be had an audience to make him proud. He began on the railroad all right, but vanity soon switched him off on Columbus, and three minutes later he was flying for his life. He reached here Wednesday, after lying in the woods 36 hours, and more lonesome andi bedraggled object was never seen. His first act was to tear up his address on Columbus, and his next to get drunk, and we have strong hopes that he will get some sense into his head as he sobers up Every town has it's idioms, and they should be respected. Here at Givea- dam Guleh we are down on Shake speare and up on Columbus, but if the Pilot Hill people are the other way their feelings should be consulted in stead of outraged.

| rounded by mob who are also drink ing plain water, out of plain glasses, it strikes me that the glorious south is on the eve of great calamity or had better get along to the compress and do my business with Kurnel Skellings! Gentlemen, excuse my abrupt depar- ture, and yo' can divide the contents of this glass between yo'!"
 WITHOUT ANY oBJEor.
 AJuEN the stage stopped at the w hotel in Wolf Run after a long days drive every passenger of Us was confronted by the spectacle of a man hanging to the limb of q tree on the public square. It wasn't considered good form" to ask any questions in regard to the affair. but after supper 1 srolled out and met a citizen who seemed so courteous that yentured to observe:
 tYoa appear to have had hanging here to-day?"
 Yes, we hung a man, was the re- ply. "I expect he ought to be taken down and buried tonight, but l don 't see any of the boys around"
 You had an object in hanging him, I suppose2"
 'I expect we did, sir, but was lit- tie late and didn't ask no questions. Yes, we must have had an object"
 Did he shoot anybody, steal horse, or anything of that sort2'
 Cant say, sir. He was about done kicking when I got here, and l didn't ask anybody what he had done. They must have had an object, though. They always do have an object when they hang man. I'll find out what it was if you say SO"
 "0h, it makes no difference. It was all right to hang him, of course. but had passing curiosity to know what crime he had committed You needn't go to any trouble on my account"
 But he did, had just gone to bed when the landlord came up with a tough-looking stranger. whom he intro duced as Pete Mccoy. Pete sat down on the side of the bed and began:
 Stranger, Bill Harper was a-tellin' me that you was axin' about the man we hung today"
 Yes, asked some one on the street what he had done to deserve hanging. T
 You wanted to know our obiect2"
 Well, just asked, you know.'
 Might the feller hev bin yer broth er?" asked Mr. Mccoy, after a long look at me.

hungry enough to eat grass, and the major was so frightened that he made no effort to get away, and yet there was no tragedy. The bear sized him up, rolled him over two or three times, and then walked off in disgust. He didn't propose to lower the reputation of the Bruin family by eating any such specimen of humanity. We have been told that the major took it as snub and feels very much cut mp over it, and we are glad of it. He is a sleek, slick liar, professional dead-beat, and no decent coyote would howl over his grave if he were dead
 NOT THAT KIND.
 JTTHEN Nr. John Graham, of Chi
 wy cago, arrived here last week to see about introducing electric light ing for the public streets we plainly told him that we didn't believe our peo- pie would stand it. Tallow candles and kerosene oil have been used ever since the first light was hung out, and no one has ever heard any complaints. Mir. Graham decided to give an eXhibi- tion of his arc light and let the people judge for themselves, and the display took place "Wednesday evening in front of the city hall. The boys were so quiet for the first five minutes that we began to be hopeful, but then old Jim Hew- son began to yell and away she went. It seemed as if 50 pistols were popping at once, and of course it didn't take long for that arc light to grow wings and fly away. When it had disappeared the boys turned their attention to Mir. Graham, and the last we heard of him he was seven miles west of the town and still on the go. We trust he is sat isfied with his experiment.. Our peo- ple didn't mean him any harm, but it's just their way. We'll be in the swim with Chicago some day, but just at present our affection for candles and kerosene is too strong to be broken by any sudden wrench.
 HOOKED LIKE A CALAMITY. rTHEIE were five or six of us on the
 hotel yeranda, and when Maj. Hill son was seen coming up the street a boy was ordered to bring out glass of water for every sitter. We were sip ping the beverage when the major halt ed at the steps and looked up, and Capt. Chisholm, who was the only one who knew him, called out:

THE CRIMINAL INSANE.
The First Inmate of the New Peniten
tiary Annex.

Superintendent Smith, of the peniten-
tiary, has about completed 4he annex
to the penitentiary for the criminal in
sane. He hopes TO have it done by the
middle of the month. But even now il
is so nearly completed as to admit of
its receiving the criminal insane as they
are brought in.
The first one, Il young white man nam
ed Chas. Mercer, was yesterday brought
in by Sheriff Henson, of Jackson county.
He was convicted of man-slaughter at
the last term of the Jackson county court.
but having been adjudged insane, the
judge sent him to the department for the
criminal insane at the State prison. where
he must remain untii he is pronounced
cured, when he will be carried back to
Jackson county and sentenced for man
slaughter.
As soon as the annex is completed the
criminal insane from all the asylums-
Raleigh, Morganton and Goldsboro-wil
be brought here an placed in it, Superin.
tendent Kirby, of the Raleigh Insane
Asylum, is also made by the law the
superintendent of this department of the
penitentiary for the criminal insane.

Butler says:

DuCler saw.
IF you wish simply to hold confer
ence for consultation, and exchange of
opinion among yourselves, then there can
be no objection to that, and those who de-
sire to attend may be benefited thereby
but let me urge you not to assume to
speak for those who do not see fit to take
Ipart. nor attempt to take any action in
the name of the party organization, lest
Won stir up fresh friction and do that
which is most desired by the monopolies
and gold trust"
Then he attacks CoXey, who seems to
be one of the leading spirits in getting up
the conference. He declares that the com
monwealer has already announced public
ly through his paper that he has with
drawn from the Populist party, and that
he is now advocating the organization of
II new party and the appointment of a
lew national committee for that party.
1T is evident" the Senator adds, that
he (Coxey) wants an organization stand
ing for his special pet schemes and the
cries, which are not a part of our plat
form. | trust that you are not a party to
this CoXey plan, but | feel it my duty to
call your attention to the fact that you
are associated with him in this matter of
a conference, though his purpose may be
one thing and your purpose may be an
other"
A significant thing about this letter is
that there is no reference to Mr.. Wat
son or his charges. Evidently Mr.. Butler
intends to treat him with silent contempt.
VIII he be able to persist in such a pol
icy? We shall see. They are both smart

BONE EXPERTS.
Take a Day in the Trial of
Luetgert
DORSEY KNOWS TOO MUCH
TO SUIT THE DESIGNS OF THE
DEFENSE
Positive Assertions Made That Bones
C.,ken From the Vat Are Those
of Woman

Associated Press Special Wire.
CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-The day was
given over to expert testimony In the
Luetgert trial, but attorneys for the
defense and witnesses for the state were
questioned vigorously regarding bones.
When court adjourned the fight was still
on and will be resumed tomorrow morn
ing.
When court opened this morning, the
defendant came into court on a pair of
orutches. He said he had a badly
sprained ankle, the result Of fall while
sparring friendly bout with one of the
guards in the jail. The injury is painful
and will trouble him for some days.
The principal witness of the day was
Prof. Dorsey of the Field Columbian
museum, who took the stand for cross
examination. Attorney Vincent for the
defense made it his business to show
the jury that Prof. Dorsey did not know
anything about bones anyhow, and that
he was ignorant of the subject of femurs
Prof Dorsey will be on the witness
stand again tomorrow for further cross
examination.
Prof George Dorsey Of the Field Co.
lumbia Museum, was recalled to make
correction in the startling testimony
he gave yesterday. Prof. Dorsey said
yesterday that the female bone which he
had identified was from the left leg. To-
day the professor said it was from the
right leg. He explained that when he
first examined the bone he was un
der the impression that it came from the
left leg, and while he was on the witness
stand he forgot the later discovery and
said the left side when he meant the
right side.
Attorney Vincent announced that he
would require the entire day to cross
examine Prof. Dorsey. But he first de-
sired to briefly examine DR.. Nor
val Pierce, who had identified the piece
of bone as the left temple bone of the fe-
male skull. Then the cross examina-
ton of Prof Dorsey began. Attorney
Vincent tried in vain for over an hour
to break the force Of the professors
Identification of the femur, questioning
him sharply as to the difference be-
tween the femur of male and female
Prof Dorsey calmly explained with the
aid of the bone in evidence. The prose-
cution expects to rest its case Saturday

PRISON-MADE BAGS
May Prevent Shipment Of Wheat to

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 16.-The San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce has re-
ceived communication from Consul
General Warburton, representing Great
Britain at this port. notifying the ship
pers Of this State of new act added to
the restrictive and prohibitive importa-
tion laws of Great Britain. The act was
recently passed by the British Parlia-
ment, and, in effect, prohibits the impor-
tation from any foreign port of prison
made goods, unless such goods shall have
been made in the penal institutions of
any member of the United Kingdom.
At present most Of the California grain
shipments are made in jute bags, which
are manufactured in the jute' mills at
San Quentin by convicts. If it is held
that the shipment of grain in prison made
bags will affect the contents of the bags
endless annoyance and confusion will be
caused to local shippers, who will be
compelled to buy bags somewhere else
