MISS CONKLING. THE
AUTHORIZES.

Miss Grace Buford Conklin, the au-
thoress of the book called Character
spent her childhood days in Raleigh.
She is the daughter of the late Captain
Ensign Conklin, who for several years
was on the editorial staff of this paper.
Miss Conklin, with her mother, now re-
side in -ingham, \. Y, her birthplace.
She is a charming, agreeable young
lady. possessed with an unusual amount
of character and goodness. In deciding
upon a name for her book none better
could have been selected, as the name
itself is suggestive of the author. We
have every reason to believe the book is
meeting with universal success, as the
third edition has just been published. 1t
is novelty of itself and certainly en-
braces many good points that will prove
of value to anyone.

A SPLENDID ACHIEVEMENT.

which, under the command of Lieut..
Col. Huntington, constituted the adj

ing force on Cuba, landing at Guanta-
namo and holding it till after San

mandant speaks modestly of this
achievement, which already has been
fully described in the reports of the
war correspondents. contenting him
self with the statement that the hold
ing Of the position at Guantanamo was
of the utmost Importance to the navy,
as it was the only harbor where the
vessels could seek shelter during the
hurricane season. To supply details
he appends the report of Lieut.. Col
Huntington, dealing with that exploit

Aays is perfect substitute for tobacco,

Such an article has been the life study
of Eros, but it is only recently he per-
fected the product. Experts have test
ed il, and were unable to tell the differ
ence between the substitute and the
genuine leaf tobacco.
The appearance, odor, taste, effect on
the system, are all reproduced, the in
ventor says, and the difference between
the genuine plug and the sham can only
be told by microscopic investigation or
0remical analysis.
z The one essential difference between
the real tobacco leaf and the substitute
is the absence of the nicotine in the
latter.

WANT OLD SPANISH CANNON.
Many Cities Request a share in the
Distribution of the
Weapons.

Numerous requests have been re-
ceived at the war department from
municipal authorities and enterpris-
ing citizens for a share in the captured
cannon, which, according to Santiago
dispatches, are to be forwarded north
for distribution among the principal
cities Of the United States. The de-
partment officials are without direct
information and know nothing more
concerning the cannon than what they
have seen in the newspapers.
One of the first requests received by
the secretary of war came from De
troit. Captured cannon will undoubt-
edly be brought 10 the United States
from Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Phil
ippines, but no official information
has been received as to when the ship
ments will be made. As property of
the United States, these cannon can
not be disposed of except by act of con-
gress.

Colored Man Generously Endowed by
Nature In a Puzzle tn Med
Teal Men.

Medical men of Plainfeld n. j., are
deeply interested i'm the discovery of
man with two distinct and separate
hearts and two breast bones, all of
which he can move about at will.
The man who is thus generously en-
dowed 10y nature is William King (col-
ored) who claims to be 100 years old.
His home is in New Bedford, Mass,
and he has been visiting his cousin.
Thomas Martin, the Jail warden in New
York city, for several days.
That he has two hearts DR.. NJ. b.
Long, chief of the Muhlenburg hos.
pital staff says is undeniabe. Dr.
Long. together with several other prom
inent physicians, examined King and
found to their establishment that the
mans statements were true. They
found that King not only had two
hearts, but that they were capable of
displacement. Just to show tkat he had
his hearts completely under control
King moved them about.
Although the two hearts were thrown
far apart on either side they still beat
in unison. Usually King keeps his
hearts, one on the right and the other
on the left side of his body. BY mus
cular movement he can suddenly move
one heart to the lower part of his alb
domen, while the other remains sta
tionary.
When he had finished doing things
with his two hearts King called atten-
tion to his breast bones. With vio-
lent muscular movement he forced one
breast bone lower and lower, until he
had a complete wall of bone from his
throat down.
