car magnate, is at Long Branch.
Mrs. George M. Pullman, for>
merly Miss Lynn Fernald, is at
her fathers home, No. 4034
Greenwood avenue, Chicago.
They have lived apart for many
months, and there are renewed
reports that a suit for divorce is
about to be instituted. Desertion
may be the ground alleged.
If a suit is brought steps will
be taken to insure secrecy. Mrs.
Pullman, Sr , is said to wish her
o to sue, and rumor has it thai
she has in view another alliance
for him.
Young Mrs Pullman read with
interest, but without surprise, the
statement that her matrimonial
venture was to be legally ended,
and when asked for a statement,
she replied:
Father and I have decided
that we will not discuss the mat
ter at aIl,n There have been q
great many different stories told
and we cannot say anything
about them.

THE PROyIDENr SAVINGS.

When the founder of a great
life insurance company, a great
public benefaction, for that is what
it is, looked about for a name, it
was an inspiration which caused
the company to be called the
Provldent Savings Life Assurance
Society.
And as the years have come and
gone, it has with answering
course been true to name, and the
provident savings made by loving
fathers and paid for insurance in
the Provident Savings Life have
proved a blessing to many widows
and orphans, keeping them from
shriveled poverty and cold hearted
charity. When the Provident Saw
ings first came into this State,
Mai. J. Sterling Jones intro
duced it to our people, and he
has seen it's North Carolina
business keep pace with the re
markable growth Of this great
company. which is a wonder to
| the fnancialand insurance world.
It is recognized everywhere as
one of the best insurance COM
pany in existence. The Provident
Savings has faith in North Caro-
lima, and when the Craig Law
was passed requiring all insur-
ance companies to be sutjece to
our laws, without quioole, the
Providen5 Savings gladly com
piled with the new law in every
particular.
Mr.. Thomas MCGEE Of this
city, for twelve years with the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company. has been appointed
agent for the Provident Savings
Life Assurance Society. We CON
graduate both Mr.. Jones and
MIR. MCGEE. We doubt not that
Mr.. MCGEE will do a large bust
ness-he knows how to write in
surance.-his company is first
class, and its policies are models
clear, concise and liberal.

KANSAS CITY'S BIG BID.

Kansas City is preparing to
make a strong bid for the next
National Democratic convention
and the indications now are that it
will prove a winner. It certainly
will if high-bidding and enthus-
iasm are necessary to success.
When the National Democratic
Executive Committee meets in
Chicago next week a delegation OF
prominent Kansas City citizens
will appear before that body ard
ask for the immediate location of
the convention. Kansas City will
make an unusually liberal Offer for
it. 1t proposes to provide a con-
vention hall, hotel Accommodations
and EXPENSE money for the Ma
tional Committee and all other
expenses usually borne by the
winning city in such cases,
and in addition promises to
contribute $4,000 in cold cash
to the Democratic campaign
fund. Of this sum $4,000 has
already been raised and the re
mainder will be easily forthcom-
Ing. Bidders for the convention
usually stop at Offering Fl con-
vention hall and the expenses OF
the committeeman; but Kansas
City is in deep earnest and anxs
ious for the convention. There
fore it makes aproposltion which
is not likely to be duplicated
much less excelled, and as the
Democrats will need all the cam
paign funds they can get the
$4,000 which Kansas City offers
is sure to prove a tempting NOR
sci.
Kansas City is well prepared
to take care of the next National
Democratic Convention. It claims
to have the best convention hall
in the country, with a seating
capacity of 10000 people. It was
built by popular subscription
gift enterprises, etc., and cost
$250,0OO. 1t belongs to the people
and is for public use. This
Western metropolis also posses
ses excellent hotel and railroad
facilities.
The chief objection which will
be urged no doubt will be that
it is too far West, but it is only
about $50 miles west of St.
Louis, where several National
conventions have met and it is
certainly more ~favorably located
than Minneapolis, where the Re
publican National convention
met in 1892. Kansas City ought
to have the next Democratic
convention. A city which evil
dences such a lively appreciation
of things is entitled to be re

BURST THE TRUSTS

Durham Herald.
We can call to mind three trusts
that have been organized during
the present week, and if we are
not mistaken there were oshers.
At this late day a law that would
simply prevent the organization
of trusts would do no good. What
the country needs is a law that
will burst the fruits, or the trusts
will pretty soon burst the coun-
try.

Wonderful Business Conditions
Philadelphia Times.
Toe business conditions of our
country to-day have eve been
approached in the history Of the
republic, and there is every lids
cation that we have entered upon.
an era of prosperity that must
endure for some years,
Never before has so large an
amount of money been in active
circulation among the people as
we bave to-day, and it is diffused
into every channel of industry,
commerce and trade. During the
depression Of several years past
the financial centres YER congest
ed with money, the national banks
of New York at one time boiling
one-third of the entire money cir-
culated in the country.
Now, while money is IN album
dance in financial circles there was
never a period when it was SO
actively employed and very large
ly in productive industries. Pub
lie confidence is the basis of money
circulation. When there is faith
in industrial, commercial and trade
enterprises the horded money OF
the overly careful is freely given
to usefulness, but when revulsion
and depression come 1t is horded
By the great masses of the people
and benefits neither owners nor
industry. At no time that we can
recall in the financial record OF
our government has there been
such general confidence and such
general employ ment of money as
are witnessed at present, and that
means general prosperity.
The business record of the pres
eGt year has been unexampled.
With the largest diffusion OF
money ever known we have the
fewest failures recorded in mod
ern times. Our railways, which
are the great arteries of trade, and
which not only give employ enl
to hundreds of thousands of work
men, bat which diffuse scores o.
millions among the people in an
nual dividends, are reaping
reasonably prosperous harvest,
while producers have the benefit
of the lowest freight charges eve1
dreamed of. Competent and worthy
labor is very generally employed
and as a rule, at literally increas'
ed wages and the consuming power
of the people is thus increased hun
dreds of millions annually, all O
which contribute to the genera
prosperity of the nation.
Seasons of prosperity Away
brings with them speculative tide
which are the thoIns accompany
ing the rose that greets us with it
beauty and fragrance. HeadeioDs
speculation is upon us with vas,l,
watered capital'zations which mus
at no di.tant future bring reyul
sion and disaster; but then, a
!, ever in the past, speculative en-
terprises will be severely subject
i, ed to the law of the survival o
/ the Gttest aid the evil will correc
( itself.
Viewing the whole business con
! ditions of the country, at no tim
in our past history has such
; season of general prosperity bee
J presented, and it gives eratifyin
promise of long continuance.

NEW YORK, Sept 30.-Captain Oberlin
NJ. Carter who has been convicted by
court-martial of defrauding the Govern
ment was arrested in the New York Ath-
leuc Club this morning by Assistant Ad-
jutant General Simpson, L. S. A, who
came from Washington for the purpose
under instructions of the Secretary of
War. Captain Garter is now a prisoner
in Castle William, Governors Island.
General Merritt, commander of the De-
partment of the East, received a telegram
this morning informing him that an officer
was in New York for the purpose of ar
resting Captain Carter. The telegram
stated that the officer had been instructed
10 report to him. At 10 O'Clock Major
Simpson reached Governors Island with
his prisoner General Merritt had then
left for the purpose of participating in the
military parade. Colonel Barbour, as
sistant adjutant general, received the
prisoner in behalf Of General Merritt and
then turned him over to Captain Il. X.
Roberts, commander of the post. Captain
Roberts said tonight:
CAPTAIN Carter is securely locked up in
a cell alone under guard. Every precaution
will be taken that he. does not escape, but
he will be treated with all respect as
prisoner He was nervous and very much
affected when he arrived here and said
that his arrest had been a great surprise
to him. He will remain in Castle William
until further orders from Washington are
received and will then be taken to Fort
Leavenworth, haS., Where ne Will serve
his sentence.
Captain Roberts believes that Carter
will be taken West about next Wednes-
day. In the meantime the only visitors
that will be permitted to see him will be
members of his family and counsel and
then only in the presence of the COM
mandant of the post or his lieutenant,
who is officer Of the prison.

Carter. was visibly affected as he read
the Washington dispatch announcing that
President Mckinley had approved the
findings Of the court-martial He ex-
claimed: Its an outrage. 1t is equal to
the Dreyfus case. This is the first inti-
nation l have had of the approval OF the
President. The case is now beyond legal
Intervention. as the verdict stands and
cannot be changed.
MY opinion of the matter never has
changed, and l think never will. 1t was
a conspiracy. The cOurt-martial Willfully
and fiagrantly disobeyed the law. Tes-
timony which should never have been ad-
mitted was accepted and that which was
clearly entitled to be brought in was eX-
cluded. Captain Carter was convicted on
perjured testimony as the defense clearly
proved. Dreyfus was condemned on hear
say. Wherein lies the difference? The
principal witness for the prosecution was
easily caught in the cross examination
and yet he was allowed to go on, and on
his testimony alone Captain Carter was
condemned This injustice to an innocent
man shows that the court-martial is ut
terly unfit to grapple with the questions
involved in a case of this kind. In my
estimation a majority of the members Of
the court-martial were honest in their be-
lief of Carters guilt They were induced
to find the captain guilty in the main be-
cause of the perjUred testimony of the
Government witnesses"

Count Won GoetZen, we'll known in
America, about his paper on the latest
discoveries regarding the headwaters OF
the Nile. The representatives OF the

sat down to the banquet, which was
served at sixty-four tables, each pre-
