him, and he said to himself, 81 shall do
the thing again with trimmings" So
with another bray he handed out a pla-
card stating that for three cents any one
might climb into the stall and hear the
braying from the inside. Surely" said
fellow ass, "the price Is cheap, II one
really believes there Is such thing as
money" But he collected no coin. Peo-

PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF
THE EQUITABLE SOCIETY.

A most successful past history; an I'M
assailable present condition, and the
prospect of a still more successful future.
These are the signs one reads in the an
nual statement of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society of the United Stalrs.
published to-day.
The successful past is shown by the
fact that the business methods of the
Society have been so popular that the
Equitable's outstanding insurance now
amounts to 1851, 100. S37. co. During 1897
the Society wrote $156, 955, 1893. 90 of new
assurance and paid to policyholders SOL
06,31414
Its present condition is shown by the
following figures:-
Assets, 1896, S76 30S04: surplus. $50.
343,174S4; income, $4S,572, 269. 30
The absolute security of the future Of
the Equitable is shown by its present
condition, by the character Of the mon
who form its directorate and official
force, and above all by the fact that II
is prepared, above all institutions of its
kind, TO weather the storm and stress
that may come i'm the future. This is
assured by the fact that the Society is
the strongest institution of the kind in
the world, having more than fifty mill
lion dollars of surplus over all liabili-
ties.
One of the advantages of Il large
surplus is that the company having it
is prepared fOr "a change of standard if
such should eventually seem advisable.
and the Equitable would in such case
still have a surplus of nearly thirty
million dollars assuming that the rate
of interest on investments SHOULD do
cline even as low as 3 per cent.

There are no better medicines on tn

tues of Chamberlain's remedies extolled

Hayes" is Wanted in Richmond and
Petersburg.


There is no doubt that the police nab.
bed a noted crook when they arrested
W. T. Hayes here Tuesday, for rob.
bling the residence Of Mr.. Fred WOOL
colt.
1t is not known what HRS real name
is, though he claims To be from
Poughkeepsie, \. Y. and that his PEG.
pie are wealthy. He has engaged Mr..
7. c.. l., Harris as his attorney.
He is wanted in Petersburg and Rich
mond and no doubt many other places
for burglaries. 1t is certain that he
will be convicted here for long term.
Chief of Police Norwood yesterday
received a letter from \. NJ. Tomlinson,
chief of the secret service Of Richmond,
in which he says:
Il see that you have under arrest
one II. f. Ardell, alias G. II. Young,
alias c. Ii. Etting, charged with bur
glary. If it is possible / would like 10
get a picture of him, as l am satisfied
that he is the same party we want here
for stealing a bicycle. He registered
here on january 10Th as T. r. Spencer.
There were three of them in the gang
at that time We got one of them and
he is now doing a thirteen year sentence
here The other one is now in Peters
burg Jail. The one we have gave name
of John Brown. They were q fine lot
have the baggage that II. K. Spencer
left here at the time of the larceny Of
the wheel"
Another letter from Chief of Police
Parkinson, of Petersburg, says that w.
Hayes entered three dwelling houses
in that town, one on the 9th, one the
18th and one on the 18th, between 8
and 10 o'clock in each case, while the
people were absent ut church, theatre
or visiting. In each of his burglaries
he used a chisel as Il lever to open the
window. He came near being caught
on the night of the 18th and shot at Il
policeman as he escaped. He stopped
at the best hotel in the town, but sent
his friend Wright, who is now in
Petersburg Jail to boarding houses, as
many as in 6 days. The Petersburg
authorities have conclusive evidence a.
gainst Hayes, but it is not believed that
Wright can be convicted without Hayes
presence.
A reward of $25 is offered in Peters
burg for Hayes.
The chief of police tried yesterday to
get Hayes to allow him to take his pict-
ure, but he would not do so. Under the
laws of North Carolina he cannot be
taken out and his photograph made I'M
less he is willing to it. TO do so would
constitute assault and battery
There are nine prisoners in the cell
with Hayes and it is too crowded and
dark there to take his picture with
kodak.
The valise which the fellow left at the
Marlborough House was opened yester-
day. In it was found collar pair of
cuffs and some old newspapers.
His scheme in working the hotels was
to leave his valise. He did this in Rich
mond After he left his valise here at
the Marlborough he went to a store and
tried to buy another but not having
enough money to buy a valise, and also
a railroad ticket. he only purchased the
latter. And this he has never had an
opportunity of using.

Editor News and Observer:
Health Officer Stockard quarantined
u suspected case of smallpox a mile
and half from here this evening. 9th
CT physicians concur in opinion.
S. A. HOLLEMAN, Mayor.
This dispatch was received last night
confirming the news that reached hece
early yesterday morning, as several stll-
dents of Elon College came here on their
way home, fleeing from tle dread dis
ease.
The first news that CAME here said thar
the suspected case was only half mile
from the village; that the people were
greatly excited and those who could well
do so were preparing to leave the place.
The news created a great sensation
here yesterday morning, the people fear
ing that the disease might find its way
here. The law requires that DR.. Il. III.
Lewis, the secretary of the State Board
of Health, be notified of every case
within twenty-four hours after 1T is
discovered, but it was not until last night
that he received the official notice i;
not having been earlier determined be-
yond all doubt that it was smallpox.
Raleigh may escape the disease, ana Il
is to be hoped she will, but it is GER
tainly coming this way and may break
out here at any time. It is therefore
the duty of those who have not already
done so to be vaccinatcl ut once.
At Charlotte, out of five cases in the
pest house, two have died.
The disease is under control at Viii
nington.
Mooresville escaped with only one
case, Perkins.
A hundred cases are reported from
Pelham, S. G..
Atlanta has had 300 cases, but only
seven deaths are reported.
Columbia has several cases with fan
prospects of many more.
Let the people of Raleigh remember
that in nothing more than in smallpox
is an ounce of prevention worth a pound
of cure.

Outline or Bill for the Reform OF the
Civil SERVER.
WAsHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The bill for
the reform of the civil service law,
which has been drawn by a special
committee of republican members of
the house of represen tatives, who are
opposed TO the system in its present
form, makes sweeping changes in the
present system. the most important of
which is the establishment of five
year tenure of Office for those govern
ment employees who are brought
within the terms of the bill The
measure limits the application of the
civil service regulations TO the depart
ments in Washington and to such
other localities where the total
number of employees exceeds
%, All appointees are com
missioned for five years, with the pow
err of removal clearly regulated and
vested in the appointing power. 1t IS
provided, however that no removal
shall be made for political or religious
causes, and in case OF removal the
causes shall be specified and the papers
made record of the office All per-
sons now in the public service are to
terminate their service five years from
the time that the act takes effect The
measure recognizes the general eligi-
bility of these persons for reappoint-
