HAGENBACK'S SHOW.

many an exhibition of trained wild
animals of the most ferocious species,
the equal of which had never before
been seen. Immense as was Herr HaS-
enbeck's aggregation that season, still
greater by far is Hagenbeck's Trained
Wild Animal Show now at the Omaha
exposition. The magnitude and popu-
larity which confound all and, in the
representation at the daily perform
ances, amazes and attracts the larg-
est audiences of any show in numbers
of daily attendance on the grounds.
Hagenbeck's is without doubt the
finest and most valuable collection of
wild animals in captivity in America.
1t was regarded as of SO great import
ance as an educational feature toward
increasing the interest o. the children
in the study of natural history and
wild animals which inhabit the Arr
can jungles and other remote parts OF
the globe, that the managers OF the
exposition erected a $4,000 building
as a special inducement for the pro-
prietors to visit Omaha. Hagenbeck's
show contains over 300 animals, every
portion of the globe having been
searched regardless of outlay in or
der to bring to the Omaha exposition
the finest specimens ana the greatest
animal actors of every kind procura-
BILE.
A strong element of popularity at
Hapenbeck's is the lion display. So
many and such noble specimens we're
never before gathered together under
one roof in the United States at any
one time. The numberless baby Hons
which are handled like kittens, are the
delight of the little folks. One OF the
grandest specimens of the kings OF
the animal dominion, is wallace,
the mighty untaimed monarch OF inc
forest. He is the largest, the tallest
and the finest formed animal OF the
lion tribe ever seen in captivity. Mr..
Frank C. Bostock, his present owner,
having refused an offer of $4,000 for
him from the London zoo. But one
man living today dares risk his lie
in the steel armored cage with TINS
ferocious and powerful animal. "Wal-
lance's" escapades on the five conu-
nents have made his name a house
hold word. His terribly treacherous
nature and bloodthirsty disposition,
have never been equalled by any Gagged
beast. Four renowned animal trainers
were killed while endeavoring to con-
ouer him. and over a score OF attaches
more or less badly MANNED. HIS es-
cane in New York us still fresh IN
mind. For over sixty consecutive
hours he paralyzed the two millions
of people in that ci,y and only after
being tortured shot and almost killed
he was finally driven into trap cage
and secured. Only the famous and in
trepid Indian lion hunter. bronco Boz

cipient of more valuable trophies Tor

arena. rewarded with the highest dec
orations and medals by the crowned
heads of Europe, wallace" the nigh
ty monarch of the forest, yields sub

living being on this earth has this
proud undaunted spirit obeyed the
command. A more daring feat was

THEY FELL FORTY FEET.

Two Men Thrown From the Roof Of a
Two Story House.
1t is not often that a man falls forty
feet, and strikes the ground without
something to break his fail and lives.
And hardly ever does he escape without
one or more broken bones.
But Messrs. Robert Little and Lonnie
Iumsden accomplished this difficult feat
yesterday morning. They were at work
on the roof Of new house being erect
ed on South Person street, between Mar
tin and Davie. A knotty plank in the
scaffold broke and dropped them through
forty feet of space to the ground.
Mr.. Little struck on his shoulder and
back and was unconscious for sometime.
Otherwise he was unhurt, save for a
bruise and soreness about his neck and
shoulders. Mr. Lumsden was dropped
into a bush and though this broke the
force of the fail he had his left wrist
and right knee sprained and his nose
badly cut. He was taken home on a
stretcher. Though his injuries are not
serious he will not be able to be out again

can says he will try to secure some
modification Oh the law while he IS IN
Washington. ;,
1t has been ruled by the Comptroller,
and the courts have confirmed the ruilng'
that the terms of the field deputies eX.
pire with the expiration of the term OF
the collector and they must be recon-
missioned by the new official, else they
go back on the eligible civil service List
for another appointment.
This ruling will enable Mr.. Duncan TO
displace all the present deputies, if he
cares so to do, even though there be no
modification of the civil service law. But
this would be of little benefit to either
Duncan or the office-seekers, for the new
men would have to stand the civil SER
vice examination and few, if any of
those after the place, would be able to
do that. Then men would be sent from
other States to fill the vacancies
SO anyway the matter is viewed there
is little hope for the hungry, except
through radical modification of the
civil service laws. Win this be made
The prospects for it are not very bright

were the crumbs that were to fail from
this once abundant revenue table. Their
disappointment was powerful sermon

belated pie-chasers came in, such for
instance as Little Bill Bryan, of Chat
ham; Capt Peace and Assignment Act
Brown, of Granville; DIR. Fox Person,
of Wilson; DIR. John Person, of Wayne,
and a few other equally brilliant politi-
cad luminaries, anxious to tender their
services to the government.
Though they found the Collector-to-be
gone they are doing much to add to the
gayety Of the situation.
Mr.. Duncan expects to return Thurs
day or Friday. Then the scramble will
kegin anew.

THEY BELIEVE IN PRAYER.
Two Negroes Who 'sNatcherly Praye
Demselves Out O. Jail"

Two Negroes Who 'sNatcherly Prayed
Demselyes Out O Jail"
Just at this particular time the negroes
in AXE county Jail are great believers
i'm the efficacy of prayer. They never
tire of reading about Paul and Silas
praying and the prison doors opening,
and it is not an uncommon sight, after
one of them has read it aloud, to find
them all huddled together on their knees
in the corner Of cell, praying: One
begins and soon another takes it up and
then another, until all have joined in.
And here is the cause of it: Last
week while court was in session one of
their number prayed several times one
day to be set free. Soon an officer came
for him, he was taken up into the court
room and turned loose. This excited
some comment among those who were
left; but next day, when the mother of
n boy who was in Jail came in and made
him pray to be delivered and half an
hour later he was set free, the negroes
were amazed.
Lord God Almighty" said one, roll
ing his eyes, as the boy rose from his
knees and walked out, IF dat Niger
amt hatchery prayed hisself clean out
o jail"
And that is why they now spend their
days and a good part of the might read
ing about Paul and Silas and praying so
that everybody in their neighborhood
can hear them.

DR.. AVIRETT LAST NIGHT
HE CHARMED AN AUDIENCE AT THE VAR
BOROUGH HOUSE.
The Treatment of the Old South, Its Tradi
tons, Customs and Peculiarities
Pleasantly Tre1ted.

One of the most charming and de-
lightful lectures delivered in Raleigh
was enjoyed by gathering in the
spacious dining room at the Marlborough
House last night. The occasion was the
delivery of Rev. J. b. Avirett's lecture
1.-THE Southern Life Before the War:
How we Lived in the Great House and
How we Lived in the Cabin"
The speaker began by recollections of
his early visits to Raleigh, the elegant
hospitality dispensed here between 1850
and 1860, alluding particularly to two
or three social functions where the
beauty ami chivalry of the capital city
were gathered. He showed how thor
oughly his democracy was ingrained by
saying that, except within consecrated
walls, he had not spoken in Raleigh
from the time of jubilee over Buch-
anan's election in 1856 until last night.
/ shall attempt no synopsis of Mr..
Avirett's delightful word-picture of the
old plantation home of his father in
Onslow; has description of the kindly
relations between master and servant;
his portrayal of the old time Southern
gentleman and the mistress of the ideal
Southern home in the days forever gone;
hls recital of the sports and pleasures
of the youths and the young slaves and
their comradeship Of an affection that
existed in the patriachal system that
made the South peculiar; his happy
relation of amusing and touching incl
dents, illustrating the superstiti0ns Of
the old time negro; and his philosophical
treatment of a civilization that produced
the highest type of American manhood
and womanhood. Enough, that it was
a picture so warm and faithful, so ten
der and so true, as to charm his au-
dience and to give a higher appreciation
Of the Old South.
DR.. Avirett was happily introduced
by Mayor Russ, who managed in a
Russ-like happiness to bring in an incl
dent of his early youth, and sing verse
from an old revival tune of his old
black nanny" This song put the
audience in the correct frame to enjoy
Mr.. Avirett's charming lecture.

THAT LINIBLEss CoTToN.

The Progressive Farmer says that the
jackson Limbless Cotton. just now
so much advertised, is a humbug. lit
quotes Director Redding, of the Georgia
Experiment Station, as saying that of
q new varieties tested by the station
last year, 8 varieties gave a better yield
per acre than did the Jackson Limbless;
that the statement that the cotton is en-
tirely limbless is false. The lint, he says,
is fairly good, but nothing extraordinary.
1t does not compare at all with Sea
Island. Egyptian, or even with Aliens
Long Staple, and would not command a
higher price than the ordinary upland
Short Staples. Continuing, he says that
the fiber is not remarkably strong, in
fact, is not one and half inches long,
and the average length is about five
eighths Of an inch. The cotton Is said
to be not at all suited to poor land or
poor culture, but is a fairly good va
riety on rich soils or under high cul-
ture"

PROPOSITION IS PENDING
THE ATLANTIC AND NORTH CAR.
OLINA RAILROAD.
SOUTHERN HAS OFFERED TO LEASE IT
The Offer is Conditioned on the Fight Agains
the North Carolina Railroad Lease Being
Stopped--AII This Rumor and
Not Official.
Not Official.

There are rumors here of a compro-
mise of the North Carolina Railroad
lease fight.
Whether they will ever become any
thing more than rumors, cannot now be
said.
That the runlors have some foundation
in fact is certainty, but just what
the terms of the proposed compromise
are cannot be learned at this time,
except that it involves the lease of
the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail-
road by the Southern. This was pro-
posed by the railroad and is being con
sidered by the State.
1t has been under consideration for
some time and Gov. Russell is now in
Wilmington consulting some of his
North Carolina Railroad directors-four
of them live therein regard to it.
1t Is believed the proposition will be
accepted by the State. Though the At
lantic and North Carolina Railroad has
always been political football, yet in
recent years, it has been paying a diyi-
dend. 1t is really part of the North
Carolina Railroad, the two together
forming only one line, owned by the
State. from the mountains to the sea-
coast. The extreme end of the system
was the Western North Carolina Rail-
road, which was sold under Jarvis adj
ministration, and is now the property
of the Southern.
If lalese roads were all under one
management, it is argued, they would
all be paying property-the Atlantic and
North Carolina as we'll as the North
Carolina and Western North Carolina
railroads.
What rental has been offered or pro-
posed has not been made known.
