From a Surgical Operation.

Prepared in Anticipation of Long Illness
From a Surgical Operation.
Judge Robert P Dick, of the United
States District Court of North Carolina,
upon whom an operation was performed
Saturday at the Johns Hopkins Hospital,
was resting easily yesterday, and no i'm
mediate serious results are anticipated.
Judge Dick is seventyfour years of age,
and this made the operation more serious
than it wou4- otherwise have been. No
one is allowed to see him.
Before submitting to the knife of the
surgeon Judge Dick wrote out his resig-
nation from the Federal bench and
placed it in the hands of his family.
This was done in order that it mig4lt be
forwarded to the President in case a
long and disabling illness followed.
Judge Robert NJ. Doughlas, of the Su-
preme court of North Carolina, who is
a son-in-law of Judge Dick, said yester-
day that he thought the latter would
not care to resume his duties, even if
he fully recovered from his illness.
Judge Douglas, who married a daugh-
ter of Judge Dick, is son Of the late
Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois. He first
met Judge Dick at the Democratic ma
tional convention of 1860, which assem-
bled in Baltimore and nominated Ste
phen A. Douglas for President. Judge
Dick was delegate from North Caro-
lima and was the only one from that
State who refused to secede. The others
joined the convention which nominated
Breckinridg dge.-Baltimore Sun.

mill hands is intense and strikes are on.
The eighteen mills of the former city,
which give eppOyment TO about mine
thousand hands, have been shut down
because the operatives have refused to
accept the reduction, and the contest
thus inaugurated promises to be one Of
the most stubborn in the history of the
textile industry. The situation in New
Bedford is very gloomy. Business there
had not recovered from the depression
which followed the failure of six mill
corpora tions last spring.

$50. 900 "a week TO the wage-earners, and
the additional loss to strikers in the
various centers if they remain idle even
for a short time will swell this amount
to a much -arger figure.

COMPULSORY VACCINATION.
If Small Pox Spreads in Wilmington, the
Board of Health VIII Order 1t.

There has been some talk of Raleigh
quarantining against Wilmington on ac-
count OF the smallpox, which has brO6-
en out there; and telegrams have come
from that city to know whether people
can come from there here.
A secoDd case of small pOX developed
there Saturday, a colored stevedore being
stricken.
There VIII be no quarantine establish
ed here, but there may be compulsory
vaccination. DIR. Mckee, the superin-
tendent of health, yesterday said he con-
templated calling a meeting of the board
for this purpose. He discussed the SUBJ
ject with the Mayor and Sanitary Off
Ger Sale.
This, however, will hardly be done un-
less the disease continues to spread in
Wilmington or other neighboring cities.
This is thought unlikely. The pesthOuse
ut Wilmington is being repaired and both
patients will be isolated there, three
miles from the city, at Hospital Point,
where, during the smallpox plague which
followed Sherman's army, thousands OF
negro refugees fell victims to the disease.
Two houses in the city, where the au-
thOrities were about to place small pox
patients were burned by the negroes to
prevent the sick men being taken there.
One of the houses was burned Friday
night and one Saturday night.
A telegram from the OrtOn House at
Wilmington to the Marlborough House
here yesterday said:
"Only two light cases variOloid, me-
grOes. They rapidly recovering. DO
cause for alarm"

procured five boxes Of them and be

began to improve and by the time I
had taken the five boxes I was able

''Our daughter Anna, twelve years

to be bloodless and had no ambition.
She took two boxes Of the pills and
they restored her appetite, aided

Commodore Dewey was born in
Vermont on December 26, 1899. He
was appointed from Vermont to The
naval academy in 1850, graduating
four years later. Immediately upon
graduation be was assigned to the
Wabash, and eight days after Fort
Monroe was fred upon he was trans
ferred to the Mississippi; under Ad.
miral Farragut, then doing duty in
the Gulf squadron.
Dewey was with Farrsgut when
one of the hottest naval battles of the
Civil war ACQUIRED, and forced an
entrance into the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi river, running the gauntlet
of land batteries into New Orleans
and compelling the surrender Of that
city in April, 1862.
Commodore Dewey's second smell
of powder and smoke was the last
fight in which the Mississippi en-
gagged, in March, 1863, when the
fleet tried to run the Confederate
batteries at Port Huron. Several of
the ships reached the narrow part Of
the channel, where they met the land
batteries almost muzzle to muzzle.
being forced to beat hasty retreat.
The day was foggy one, and amid
the denseness Of the fog and smoke
of battle the Mississippi lost her
bearings and grounded on shore.
A quick survey of the surroundings
showed her officers that she had
struck the shore almost in the mouth
of the line of Notifications, which
were the strongest and best along
the shore.
In an instant the old sloop was
riddled with 250 bullets. Her
officers forsaw that she was a COM
plete loss, and setting fire to her
they took to small boats and made
shore on the opposite sido of the
river.

BARRE HIGHLY PLEASED.

Not for long time have the people
of this city been better pleased with an
entertainm ent than they we're yesterday
with Walter l.. Mains consolidated
shows. There was not tiresome mo-
ment during the whole performance
and every feature was attractive.
A good sized crowd gathered inside
the big tent in the afternoon and when
the show was over and the people came
back down town they were so we'll sat-
isiied that they soon spread the report
to every corner of the city that Mains
circus was one of the best they had ever
seen, consequently in the evening the
seats were crowded.
The principal feature of this excellent
show was the wonderful performance
of the trained wild animals. The train
ed riding lion was the event OF the even
inp and that alone was worth the price
of admission.
The acrobatic performances have
never been equalled especially that Of
the famous Eddy family.
The whole affair was of a high stand
ard and was good clean show in every
respect, everyone connected with tho
circus from the proprietor down to thu
water boy seemed bound to meet thu
wishes of the people and to treat every
body with the utmost politencss.
