PEDDLING SILK DRESSES.
Chas Slaughter Arrested for Stealing
From Dobbin & Ferrall.

FROM D0DDln ~ ferfall.
The beautiful silk dress patterns on
the shelves Of Messrs. Dobbin & Ferrali
were too much for Chas. Slaughter, and
they lead him astray. Charles is a cit
zen Of Raleigh, of the colored pursuasion.
whose eyes those rich black and
lavender taffetas and Turquoise blues
fairly daZzled.
There was sudden and an irresist-
able yearning on the part of Charles to
be possessed of some of them. He took
them. not by any method of ordinary
purchase, but just simply walked in and
appropriated them--four or five pieces
of the richest and rarest. Then Charles
pursuaded himself and tried to pursuade
others that he was legitimately and hon
estly in the silk peddling business. He
spread the silk out before Jane Merritt.
Of East Raleigh. and James eyes dane
ed a cotillior. Jane could sell them; oh.
yes, like hot cakes, and she did sell them
and they found their way into the dress
makers establishment
Messrs. Dobbin & Ferrall had been on
the lookout for the goods, and Officer j.
Ill. Mullen had been hunting about for
the new dealer in silk. The goods were
identified at the dressmakers, and
Charles was identified by Jane and by
those who had purchased the silk.
1t was all over with Charles He has
gone out of the silk business. and be-
cause of his failure to give Mayor Russ
one hundred and fifty dollars worth OF
assurance in the shape of justified bond
that he would answer to his name at the
next term Of the Superior Court. he has
gone over to board for awhile with Sher-
if Jones. where there are no dazzling
silk dress goods to lead him astray.

CORNER STONE LAYING
NOTABLE DAY AT THE STATE SCHOOL
FOR DEAF AND DUMB.
DR.. GalIaudet Gives the Work Of the School
First PIace--Judge Clark's Address
Well Observation-Disclosures Picnic.

Morganton, y. c., May 31.-(Speciai)
The corner stone of the large recitation
hall at the state school for the deaf anu
dumb was laid today. A special com
munication from the Grand Lodge Of
Masons was called for that purpose, ana
the corner stone was laid by Grand Mas
ter w. Il. Moore, of Webster. long
procession of Masons, knights OF iEth-
las and Junior Order American Mecan-
les was led from the court house TO the
grounds of the institution by Manly Nc
Dowell. marshal of the day.
after the laying of the corner stone
speeches in the chapel of the school Tor
the deaf was made by Edward NJ. 0al-
laudet. president of the famous Gal
laudet college for the deaf IN Washing
ton. ID. c.. and by Justice Walter Clark.
Dir. Gallaudet was introduced by Sup
erintendcnt Goodwin, and Judge Clark
by l. II. Avery. DR.. Gallaudet's speech
was on Methods and Results of Teach
ing the Deaf. He paid very high COM
pliment to the management of the Nor
canton institution, saying he had visited
MI the principal schools in Europe and
America and he had never seen so mer-
itorious an exhibition of the methods and
results of teaching the deaf as at the
entertainment given by the pupils of the
Morganton institution on Monday night
of this week.
The burden of Judge Clark's speech
was the sentiment they only live who
shape their lives for the service Of hui
manity." He approved the Cuban war
and paid tribute to the noble women who,
like Florence Nightingale and Clara Bar
ton have devoted their lives to human
ity. The reverse of this picture is the
spectacle Of the robber barons of this
country who. instead of building castles
like the old robbers of the Rhine. form
trusts and syndicates. and instead Of
having armed retainers retain lawyers
and courts and legislators. To exterm,
nate this evil is as much a duty rs to
fight for local self government or to re-
lease humanity from the blight of peSti-
lence. He closed with graceful reference
to the ancient order of Masonry. The
speech was well received and literally
applauded The local Masonic lodge
spread picnic dinner to the visiting
Masons in the grove mt the scho"' after
the exercises were concluded.

SKIRAIISH DRILL.

Second Regiment Pay Roll to be Made
Out To-Day.
Yesterday was 4 very quiet day out at
Camp Russell. Colonel Burgwyn is in
Washington doing his best to secure ne
cessary equipment for his men. which
is sorely needed. 1t does seem that the
government could furnish these volun-
teers with Undertaking and shoes.
We have been Dragging on the fin
ancial ability of the United States to
fight a war with Spain. and to equip
an army of almost any proportions, and
yet these men now in camp and who
have volunteered to go and fight for
their country, have been in camp
for two weeks and not dimes worth
of clothing or other equipment have
they received. We suppose the same
thing applies to other camps throughout
the country.
There was nothing new at the camp
yesterday. There was no dress parade
hut Il skirmish battalion drill early in
the morning This was kind of Il
verifying drill preparatory TO making out
pay roll This will be done to-day.
and the boys are hoping that the pay
may come speedily. If the government
can't equip them promptly, it may ut
least pay them promptly. thereby en-
aiding them to in Il measure provide for
themselves.
The pay roll we suppose. will have 10
90 to Washington and be passed upon be
fore any salaries are paid.
