A HUSBAND TAKES HIS WIFE'S
NAME

As long as she lived Kate Fields main
tanned that she would never marry
unless she loved a man who would be
willing to have his name changed TO
Mr.. Kate Fields. She died before find
ing such a man, but Miss Henrietta
Mccormick, daughter of the rich Chi
cago inventor, has found husband, Mr..
Frederick Goodhardt, of London, who
has asked the Queen to permit him to
change his name to Mccormick, having
married Miss Mccormick. Speaking
of the granting of the request by the
Queen, Mr.. Mccormick is quoted as
saying:
1T has been the wish of my daughter
for some time that her family name
should be perpetuated with her descend
ants. | told her that she had my con-
sent: that / would be glad to have my
name handed down with that of Sd hon
orable family as the one into which
she married.
Il fled no petition for the change, but
suppose that the laws of England re-
uuire some form, as is required in many
cases in this country, so that it would
appear that the request came from ne.
1t is the intention to prefix Mccormick
so as to make the name read McCor-
mick Goodhardt.
Il rather look upon the request as ali
honor than a privilege. l am prouder
than ever of my daughter, Mrs Good
hardt America owes much TO England
for her friendliness in cur recent I'M
pleasantness with Spain, and no request
made by a subject of the Queen, espe-
cially one so distinguished IS my SON
in-law. would be refused by me when
it can be complied with so easily"
The women are getting their rights,
and more. Speaking once at banquet,
after there had been some woman suf-
frage discussion, Hon. Joseph Choate
proposed this toast, woman, Once Our
Superior and Now Our Equal" There

THE WILSON CASE.
The Witnesses Are Being Examined
By Commissioners.
charlotte Ohserver.l

ObSNA FNAJ
Salisbury, Jan. 31.-The special COM
mission appointed by the Legislature to
investigate the causes of the removal
of Major j. W. Wilson and S. Ohio
Wilson, had sitting here to-day. w.
&. Watson, clerk of court, who was
appointed commissioner to take deposi-
tons. examined only one wftness-HOr-
ace Payne, Southern Railway agent at
Morganton. Capt ThOs. Murphy
Capt Arthur Frazier and Capt. w. w.
Barber were subpoenaed, but did not
appear, and it was agreed between cOun-
sci that their testimony be taken at
Asheville. Ex-.Judge A. C. Avery repre-
scented the Governor.
Major Wilson was represented by the
Hon. Kerr Craige. The examination in
chief was directed to efforts to prove
that Major Wilson had received and
sent express packages dead-head; had
received and dispatched kilograms free
of cost, and had been granted free rail
road transportation for himself and
family. Mr.. Payne testified that Major
Wilson had paid for all teelgrams sent
by him over the Western Union. and
that express packages were sometimes
sent free as a courtesy to his son. ].
w. Wilson, Jr, who was express agent
ut Morganton. This was a UNIVERSAL
custom with the express company in
regard to its employees.
In respect to free transportation for
himself, witness said that he under
stood that Major Wilson held an annual
pass.
Examined by Hon. Kerr Craige, Mr..
Payne testified that he had never in
formed Governor Russell of any of these
facts prior to Major Wilson's removal
The counsel's motive for putting this
question was evidently to devclop the
fact that the Governor could not have
been actuated in his removal of the
two commissioners by any of the testi-
mony now offered by Mr.. Payne, as it
had at that time never been rendered
Nothing was proved nv Mr.. Payne f
the prejudice of Major Wilson and no
Testimony was offered for or against :.
CthO Wilson In short. the al
ministration found the waters of evil
dence too limpid for it's rurpose and a
water-haul was the result.

THE MITCHELL COUNTY FRAUDS
CHICKENS COME HOME
TO ROOST.

The investigation of contest for State
Senators from the district i'll which
Mitchell county is situate resulted in
seating the two Democratic contestees,
Mr.. Eaves and Mr. Lambert. The Com
mttee on Privileges and Elections has
acted in all contested election cases as
judges, throwing aside all partisan con-
siderations, and looking only to the law
and to the evidence. The Republicans
in the Senate have commended the jul
dicial fairness of the committee in all
their decisions, and although Mr.. Camp
bell has felt constrained to make a
minority report, there is no real basis
upon which objection can be made.
For years the Republicans have been
going about the State charging the
Democrats with the commission OF
crimes against suffrage, while at the
same time their utter disregard OF
the law in conducting elections in Mitchell
and other counties where they were III
control has shown that. the Caucasian
was right when it said of them during
the last Legislature, ''The Republicans
are getting ready to do a little stealing
on their own account"

palpable frauds in Mitchell county, tht

1t will strike outsiders as curious that
the Legislature should refuse to pass
the wise and needed law governing chal-
lenges in criminal cases. Every body
has known all along that the rascals have
always had the advantage over justice

surest way to perpetuate lynchings is to
keep up the old practice before the pres

cred man in the grave is forgotten, and
sentimentaIity sniffles over the dear,
poor fellow who is to be tried for his
deviltry. The lawyers owe to society
to public decency and protection, as well
az to common sense and justice. to have
the criminal laws changed SO as to give
the State some chance, some rights

CROKER WILL NOT BOLT BRYAN.
Whoever the Candidate, Whatever the
Issue, Tammany Will be Loyal.
(Snecial to Washington PostN

Especial to Washington Post)
New York, Jan. 31.-Mr. Oliver II. Z.
Belmont's paper, The Verdict, contains
a significant editorial this week. 1t de-
clares that, though ardently opposed to
free silver as an issue next year, Tam
many Hall will Loyalty support the can
didate and platform of the Democratic
party, as it has always done heretofore.
The Verdict says on this point:
If Bryan is named iii 1900, Croker
will be for him; Tammany Hall will be
for him. Personally, Croker deems high
and well of Bryan. He holds him Il
leader of breadth and force and truth.
Croker may differ from Bryan on finance
or some other question of politics, but he
yields him his whole respect. And if
Bryan should again be. the choice of a
national convention. whoever else may
fail him were he the last in the lines,
Bryan would have the utter support Of
Croker to win him victory. Croker
never bolted and he never will. Tam
many never bolted and it never will
They both stood for Cleveland in 1892
and that means that no man, 10 day,
will ever come when either Croker or
Tammany will be found outside the
ranks of the Democracy. Croker is not
for silver. That need not separate him
from his party in 1900; it didn't in 1896"
Further. The Verdict hints at a
scheme of the deposed leader, Sheehan,
now out for silver, to set up a contestinG
delegation to the next. national conven-
ton. and warns the Democracy of the
country to beware of the man. Ex-
Senator Hill. it is intimated, is giving
encouragement to the Sheehan scheme,
though Hill himself abandoned Bryan
at the last moment in the memorable
silver campaign. Concluding, The Yer
dict says: First and last, the party
interest lies in full reliance on and fell
lowship with Croker and the Democracy
that never yet failed the national ticket
and it is in no sort runs with any Hill
led clique, who, without party following
or party force, speak for nobody, stand
for nothing but themselves"
