MADE A BIG HAUL.
Burglars Secure -Four Thousand Dol
lars Worth of Jewelry.

Special from Durham, N. c., says:
Two daring burglaries were committed
at the residences Of Gen. Julian S. Carr
and Judge R. ". Winston, in this city,
Tuesday night.
At Gen. Cars the loss will amount
to So, 500 to $4,000. The burglar Of
burglars entered Gen. Cars bedroom
and stole diamond stud from shirt
beside the bed on which the general
was sleeping. This diamond ornament
was valued at 81, 900, and was a regis
tered stone. 1t was stolen during the
worlds fair at Chicago, but was after
ward recovered by Pinkerton men. A
gold watch belonging to Gen. Carr, val
ued at $500; gold watch belonging to
Mrs. Carr, valued at 500; a diamond
scarf pin, pair Of gold cuff buttons,
set with diamonds, belonging to Clai-
born Carr; gold earrings, gold breaches,
etc., were taken.
It is otknoWn what time the rob-
berry occurred. Not a clue was left be-
hind to indicate how the guilty party
got in or ou5 Of the residence. Some Of
our people think it was evidently the
work Of a professional.
At the residence Of Judge Winston,
as was the case at Gen. Cars, it is not
known in what way entrance was made.
Two watches, a gold one and child's
watch, two gold necklaces, two gold
pins and Mrs. Winston's jewel case
were stolen. All of these were found
this morning near side gate in the
back yard, where it is supposed they
were dropped by the burglar in his
fight.
The front door of the residence was
found open this morning and it is
thought that exitwas madein this way.
In neither Of the two robberies were the
occupants Of these households in the
least disturbed, and knew nothing Of it
until they awoke the next morn
ing.

Kodaks for Lynchers.

Al eastern newspaper, which has
Civ. profound study to the lynchlng
problem has at last found remedy
which J. recommends with absolute con-
fdence.
This ingenious newspaper is con7inc-
ed that the kodak is mightier (than the
lyncher and that a mob which would
defy the rifles Of sheriff and his depu-
ties might be easily put to fight by
"snap shots It therefore proposes
that all sherifs and jailers in regions
where lynchings are frequent shall be
armed with kodaks and that as soon as
a mob attacks Jail or makes demand
for a prisoner these terrible instruments
be turned upon it. The effect, accord
ing to ou1 sanguine contemporary,
would be intantaneous and complete.
No Eould-be lyncher could for mo-
ment hold his ground while his picture
was being taken. He would not mind
being shot, but the idea of being kodak
ed would put him to hasty aud headlong
fight.

NEW Y0RKs MURDER MYSTERY.
A Boy Finds a Package With More Of
the Hacked up Body.

Interest in the murder mystery grow
ing out of the finding of the left thigh
Of womans body in West Seventeenth
street last Saturday had an increase
Wednesday by the recovery Wednes-
day morning of what is believed to be a
portion Of the same body on the beach
at the quarantine station of Staten Is
land. John Heineman, boy 12 years
old, found the package wrapped in
newspapers and Manila wrapping paper.
When he opened it he found that the
cuts in the neck were jagged, showing
THAT the head had probably been hacked
of, and the arms were cut of close to
the shoulders in clumsy manner. The
police were notified and took charge Of
the find.
The flesh was taken to the morgue
for comparison with the parts Of the
woman's body already there. The
parts of the body now missing are the
head, the arms, the legs from above the
knee down, and the right thigh, which
was found but was carted off to the city
dumps.
A name that looks like "J. J. NJ
man, and the laundry mark u. j. n.
1S3," was discovered Wednesday morn
ing on one Of the white skirts in the
bundle of clothing found in the base
ment of PIG West Fifteenth street.
The letters forming the name are not
distinct. They are partly washed out
and little blurred. The u. ]. n" Of
the laundry mark is very distinct, how
ever, and is expected to lead to the
Identification Of the owner.

FIRST INSTALLMENT,
Mr.. QUITS Starts His Book OF
Revelations"
REAsONsO OF HIS RETlcENcE
He Reviews His Suspension and
Charges Members Of the
Board of Control With
Breaking Promises.

Mr.. D. A. G.. QUITS gave out Thurs
day the first Of series Of letters he has
written about the dispensary. In the
introduction he makes the followingez-
planation Of why he has not heretofore
made public the charges he now brings:
During my.years Of service in the
dispensary I have seen number Of
things done which I knew were wrong.
These I reported to members Of the
board, who were, I knew, honest, able
and pure. They thought, however,
that it was best to say nothing publicly
about the wrong-dolng until menklike
themselves were majority OF the
board. +. They believed in the dispen-
sary and earnestly stro7e to makeit a
success. In their judgment the dispen-
sary could not withstand the effect Of
such exposures, if it's control was in the
hands of the men against whom these
exposures were made. They wanted to
save the law for the great potential
good that was in it. But as the contrary
element has grown so confident Of its
power that it has gone to turning honest
men out of Office at the dispensary, 80
as to fill all places with its tools, thus
facilitating the carrying out Of its plans,
I deem it my duty to make public all
I know, so as to expose these men,
deeming it better that the dispensary
should die than to continue under their
control, but hoping that the effect of
my criticism will be to drive such men
out of the dispensary and place its man
agement in the hands of men above re-
proach. make this statement because
I do not wish to be considered a sore
head or as exposing things condoned
as long as held Office"
He first shows that he had no intent
to do wrong in selling bottle Of con-
traband, that he was ordered to doso by
his superior officer and that he thong ght
he was carrying out the wishes Of the
board and thattWo members Of the board
so assert.
He next charges'that Miles, Hasel-
den and Robinson promised to give him
hearing before voting on the question
Of his permanent suspension and that
they failed to keep their promises.
He asserts that the majority faction
is conspiring to secure complete control
Of the dispensary.
He asserts that Chairman Miles has
shown favoritism to Shipping Clerk
Black, who has been reported for being
drunk and disorderly in the dispensary,
against rule Of the board, but who was
not disciplined.
he charges Chairman Miles with
partiality:lto his nephew, Receiving
Clerk Young, who was reported for iDss
competency and making serious errors
in counting shipments received at the
dispensary.
Friday Mr.. QUITS gave out another
installment of his 'Book of Revela-
tions," and there is more to follow.
His Revelations" make rich, rare and
1acy reading, but We haye not the space
to publish them. He makes many
charges against many people, all OF
which is backed up by evidence which
seems, and which he claims, to be IRE
futab'e, We shall see.

hold Your Cotton.

Nell's reduction Of his crop estimate
from $4,000, O00to 10000, 900 bales can
hardly be considered ''bearish, :"
though that seems to have been its
effect on the market. He always over
estimates the yield, and his revised
figures would indicate crop not over
9,500,0 900 bales. But, assuming that
he is correct, this would make the crop

Of last year. Now consider the further
facts that cotton goods are in great de-

STREET FIGHT.
Newspaper Cartoon Causes Weunding
of Three Persons.

There was a terrible street auel IN
front Of newspaper row on Camp street
New Orleans Wednesday afternoon IN
which Dominick C. O'NIalley, proprie,
tor Of the Evening Item, and a well
known promoter of sport and Q. Harrl-
son Parker, state tax collector, chair
man of the Democratic state campaign
committee and editor in chief of the
Delta. the anti-lottery organ, during its
existence, were both seriously, if not
fatally wounded. TIE trouble is said
to have originated over cartoon IN the
Item last Sunday representing Colonel
Parker, little dog being led by string
by Governor Foster, and labelled me
too.
About three o'clock Wednesday af-
ternoon O'Malley came out of his office
ACCOMPANIED by Parson Davis, and
walked only few yards, when Parker,
who was across the street converslng
with some friends, turned and saw him.
He started towards O'Malley and the
men seemed to know that trouble was
expected and began exchanging 10 cali,
bre bullets, each firing until his pistol
was empty. By the time the duel was
over the men were only about thirty
feet apart, and each walked away to get
attention.
Parker received ball in the side,
which is dangerous wound, and one
in the shoulder. O'Malley was serious
ly wounded in the groin and also re-
ceived bullet in the leg. A neWsooy
fully hundred yards away was shot IN
the head by one of O'Mal'eys bullets.
The boy will recover. Both men are
resting easy tonight. OMalley has
been in several shooting ARRAYS, and
Parker wounded Mayor E. A. Burke,
then state treasurer, in famous duel
in 1882.

EXPANSION, CONTRACTION AND
GENERALIZATION.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
This article is not to present argu-
ments in favor of Capitalization of
schools so much as to incite it's readers
to an interest in one of the real, live,
wide-awake questions, of the day in
educational field.
Our rural Taxpayers want an educa-
tion for their families, which is at the
same time thorough, practical and
economical, the last named requisite
being by no means the smallest in their
eye.
How may we have more thorough
education in our country schools? Let
me suggest by Capitalization. How and
by what means? BY bringing the chill
dren of different localities and different
surroundings in competition with each
other, by placing those, whose whole
home discipline has been to ''live and
let ive," under the influence of those
who live and cause to live.
Second. By removing the difficulties
of transportation to and from school,
and lifting this burden or ''thorn in the
flesh" from the children's shoulders.
Third. BY more effective classifica
tion. Enthusiasm is below par, where
we are out-classed.
How may it be made practical and
economical.
By centrilization, by introducing into
the common school thorough line of
school apparatus at far less cost than
soft-boiled parapharnelia.at each of
our district schools. Why will they be
cheaper?
Because a greater majority are in
terested and will more readily with
stand the merely respectable nonsense
imposed upon some of our backward
districts.
This method may be made thorough,
practical, and economical, even these
by eliminating some would-be teachers.
| There is bread for all, for there will
be hacks to drive.
| May the idea not fail because of the
lack of united support.
| Agitate! agitate! agitate!

PATIENCE WITH THE LIVING.

Sweet friend, when thou and are gone
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small snail be our need of grace
From conn ade or from neighbor;
Passed all the strife, the toll, the care,
And done With all the signing
What tender ruth shall we have gained,
Alas, by sinply dying?
Then lips too chary of their praise
Will tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults to see
Shall no defects discover;
Then hands that would not lift a stone,
Where stones were thick to cumber
Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers
Above our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchance both thou and I,
Ere love is past forgiving,
Should take the earnest lesson home
Be patient with the living;
Today's repressed rebuke may save
Our binding tears tomorrow,
Then patience, cen with keenest edge,
May whet q nameless sorrow!
'Tis easy to be gentle when
Deaths silence shames our clamor,
And easy to discern the best
Through memory's mystic glamor,
But wise it were for thee and me,
Ere love is past forgiving.
To take the tender lesson home
Be patient with the living.

Peculiarities of CoIored Children

Colored children are much more SEN

which probably means that their pow

and not that they suffer more from
heat. Colored girls have larger cir

white girls. White~children not only
have a greater standing height than
colored children, but their sitting

than colored children. The percentage
