An Old Publication.


 Attorney MePhetrige recently came into possession of an ancient relic Tn the form of an "Almanack" nearly 100 years old. It was compiled in 1901 and is entitled "The Virginia and North Carolina Aim anack for the year 1902, being the Sixth After Leap Year, The twenty-sixth Year of American Independence and fourteenth of the Federal Government.
 'srhe Astronomical part by Isaac Briggs"
 "The Editorial part by Americanus Urban, Published by Ross S Douglas at Petersburg"
 The "almanack'' has about i6O pages and is quite well preserved having been bound with leather back and board covers 1t contains many use- ful tables, has the revenue law of that day,..the declaration of independence, many anecdotes, some poems, interest ing news items and much good advice bout how to live, as we'll as how to plant and care for garden, fruit and farm lands.
 The astronomical compiler forecasts the weather with perpaps as much ac- curacy as Prof. Hicks but does not enter so closely into details. As an example the weather for the month of January is given by the following words interspersed among the Re markable days" running through the entire month: "Epect frosts-and ice-and clear cold weather clouds or snow
 For Febuary: Look for-snow-or sleet--or wind-frost-su suow-or rain.
 For March: ''cold-windy weather wind-good-weather"
 For April; Expects -weather-and refreshing showers"
 It would appear that they had much the same weather in those days that we have now and possibly our readers can use the forecasts given above for the first four months of 1898 as a crite- rion of the weather we may expect.
 Among the news items given we quote the following to show what was considered wonderful invention, also to show what advances we have made since that time:
 "WHEAT MACHINE"
 "Chriftopher Hoxey, of Hudfon, North River, has invented machine. which will probably be enc of the muft ufeful ever introduced into focie- ty. It will threfh and clean from 20 to 100 bushels in day, according to the fize. It is turned by wind, water. horfe or crank. Large quantities of any kind of grain may be extracted from the fJraw or chaft in day. the cuckle and fmut are alfo feparated. the pure wheat gatherd into the gar ner.-By the common mode of threfh- ing, it is a laborious talk for one man to extract more than fix bufhelf."

DURANT's MOTHER WEPT
When She Heard the Decsion-The Decision
 Affects Five Other Murderers

San Francisco, Nov. S.-The news that the supreme court had decided not to interfere with the execution of Dur'anrt spread quickly cover the city today and crdwds of interested people read the an- nouncement eagerly on the bulletin boards. The announcement of the su- preme court was not unexpected here, and probably only Durant and his att Horneys seemed to have apprehended that the murderer would be saved from the gallows. Warden Hale of San Quen- lin. who is in Washington, wired the news to Warden Edgar.
 At Il o'clock MT. Edgar had not noti- fled Durrant of his fate, and had not decided whsn he would do so.
 The decisicm of the supreme court paved the way for the excuNon of five other murderers, who have been sln- tenced to death, but whose executions have been deferred Rsnding the deci- sion in the Durrant case. They are Miurray Worden, Harvey and Allen Of San Francisco, and Barks, of San Diego, who butchered an aged couple.
 Durrant's parints' were notified this morning of the, courts decision and were deeply affected. Mrs. Durant wept, but said that her son was innocent, and she did not give up hope that he would be Vdndicated and his innocence proved.
 District Attorney Barnes said the only thing the attorneys for Durrant could do now was to appeal from the order of the supreme count, but he thought they would not try this, as they were sura to fail

FIRE ALARM F0RAkER
Don't Want to Mix in the Hanna Fight, But r
 He Does, Look Out

Columbus, O., Nov. S.-A Special 10 the Ohio State Journal from Cincinnati says It was Sported in local political circles yesterday tha, Hon. Charles L. KCrts hal uuie.iy sttrpad into the city during lain afternoon and was in close coufcr- enca with Stre .or Fcrakex, -f,s chief, n the si.J'blrg senatorial question, The repnr ha.1it siiat the senator and kn.ts h1, carofull: surveyed. the situation hn1 had reached an und rstanding unfavora- ble to MT. Hanna. Senator Foraker was seen by the State Journal correspondent and asked about the alleged meeting with Kurts.
 1T regard your inquiry as vsry imper- tinent," replied the senator, "and fur ther as to our reported meeting, that Is none of your business"
 It was evident the senator had mis- understood the motive of the inquiry, and he was assured that no discourtesy was intended, but as the matter had been talked on, the State Journal was desirous of either confirming or 1at1y de- nying the stories of the conference.
 After this explanation Senator For aker said he had not seen Mir. Kurts for over q week.
 The preaching of the subject gave the senator an opportunity to vent his feel ings about the senatorship. He said:
 "I am becoming tired of having my name dragged into evsry little contro- versy over the senatorial question. I worked faithfully in the last campaign, and if the majorties were not large, 1t was no fault of mine. I do not expect to take part in the affair. but unless my name is kept out of the whole thing, I shall go into it and make certain people know I am around. The republican par ty will settle this mattsr to their satis- faction and without the dietation of out side parties."

MRS. ANGELl MUST CONTEST.
Claimant of Gould Funds Wanted to Witt- draw Her Case But Couldn't.

New York, Nov. 8.-Judge Beach in the supreme court today denied the mo- tion to dismiss the suit brought by Mrs. Angel to establish her right of dover in the estate of the late Jay Gould. The suit was ordered placed on the preferred cause calendar for the first Monday in December.
 In making his motion for dismissal of the action w. E. Ward, counsel for Mrs Angel, stated that he was thoroughly convinced taht there was no founda- tion for this action, having commenced the suit voluntarily, and made the change out of justice to the defendants that he should come into court and ask to have the action dismissed rather than to allow it to be called on the calen- dar.
 Elihu Root, who represented the Gould heirs, warmly commended MT. Wards action. He thought, however, that the complaint should not be dismissed with out such a record being made as to con- clusively and forever bar the plaintiff from reasserting her claim. They in tended he said, to take action against the authors of this conspiracy to black en the reputation of MT. Gould ana blackmail his heirs. Counsel would rather have the case set for trial and leb the plaintiff employ other counsel. If she failed to avail herself of that op- portunity then the case should be dis missed on it's merits.
 On ordering the action upojn the pre- ferred calendar the court directed that personal service of the order be made upon the plaintiff.

 Selma, Nov. S.-A report reached here today by way of Montgomery that three cases of yellow fever--existed in Bir- mingham and that people were ieav- ing there as rapidly as possible.

bounden duty to speak of our

First and foremost is the

Flows speak highly of them on
account of the adaptability to

That we have the most

The morning journal has furnished
a very fair amount of ammunition to
the anti-anneXationists from time to
time, but in the article upon ratifica-
ton of the treaty by the Hawaiian
Senate, it has supplied material for a
diatribe against the present govern
ment of Hawaii and annexation
which is really refreshing. The
Springfield Republican quotes from
what it calls the ''candid editor" and
cites the words as belonging to re

doubt. 1t quotes "the wheels of the

The Ignorance of current events
among eastern people is far greater
than we of the west have any idea of.
There are many parts of China that
do not yet know there was any war
with Japan, and there are others that
think China won victory over Ja-
pan, just as large number of Chi
nese. even in Honolulu, will tell you
than the French were beaten in Anam.
Because of the success of the Turks
against the Greeks in Thessaly a large
portion of the Mohammedan world is
under the impression that the whole
Christian world has been defeated,
and hence the religious war upon the
Indian frontier, and riots which have
occurred near Cairo. In the latter
case. the idea has been fostered by the
fact that though there is large Brit
ish force in Egypt it is not displayed,
and in consequence the people think
it is not there. They have been rudely
awakened.
