The absence OF the stars and stripes
from the grand official funeral has been
remarked In many quarters. One small.

MANY CURIOUS INVENTORS.

The officials of the patent office say
that they have never been so bothered
as during the present fiscal year Ivy
applicants for patents whose claims upon
investigation prove to have neither novel
ty nor merit, and which are simply
crazy quiets, so to speak, constructed
from really valuable material that are
the products of truly inventive minds
and which have long since been utilized.
But among all people who investigate,
and are susceptible of conviction by
proof there can be no doubt that Hos

A Thousand Pictures of Soldier Boys in

Mr.. Gordon III. CilIey, of the Hornets

says:
"The ladies Of Raleigh certainly did
well by the soldiers. Stationery, stamps.
dainties for the sick, magnazines and
novels to while away dull hours, came in
every day generally anonymously given.
but the boys found out that Mrs. a. An
drews was at the bottom Of it, and they
will not soon forget this charming lady.
Mrs. II. 7. Hay also proved herself a
true loaf-giver and delightful Southern
dame. And there are many others whom
we shall think of when hard tack is MI
that is to be had.
II believe at least thousand pictures
of our company are now to be found in

puverized long ago. In Charlotte the
pretty girl rides a wheel; in Raleigh

Specimens Showing the Character OF the

There is now exhibited in the windows
Of Watson's art store. few specimens
of the art work accomplished by the
pupils Of Peace Institute during the past

cessitates a limited exhibition there may
be seen examples of the different
branches of art of charcoal and crayon,
Of oil and water colOrs, of pastel and tn

of exquisitely decorated china. The latter

is difficult to believe that some of the
articles have been painted by amateurs
and school girls ut that.
In design and technique they rival pro-
fessional painters. The jardiniere with

life-like jOnquils, the berry dish that is

ries is half covered the chocolate pots
with daintest of apple blossoms, and the
photograph frame with springs pale
polyanthus are among those particularly
worthy of high praise. Every piece
shows careful drawing, soft and pure
coloring and sharp details, and the
whole collection reflects the highest cred
it upon the aptitude of the pupils and the
careful instruction of Miss Beebe who is
i'm charge of the department Of art. A

show perhaps better than any others. the
real progress of those pupils who have
been taking the regular course in art.
The larger portion of the paintings are
from still life and nature and are origin

a dressing table laden with a womans

and well rendered perspective. Although

true idea of the achievements of the
pupils and the faithfulnes Of Miss Bee

the exhibit could not have been many
times larger.

TO his respective home and they had
not met since until Friday. They met
in front Of Jordan's. There was look
of recognition, a start of surprise, and
then each opened his arms and the other
fell into them. The scene was a touch
