The Raleigh News and Observer of
yesterday says; Libel was yesterday
filed in the Federal court here against
the three-masted schooner Carrie ~.
Lane" owned by Arthur Sewall and
wrecked near Hat.eras.
The libel is TO cover the claim Of The
second crew that boarded the vessel
after she had been abandoned. The
claim Of the first crew to hoard her has;
been satisfied by the paymen; by Mr..
Sewa!l Of $1,000.
II seems that the vessel was an
abandoned wreck, a derelct on the
ocean. and about to be blown UP by the
United States war vessel Texas" when
she was boarded and saved by these
crews.

OF ORDINARY, INTELLIGENCE
Defendant WAS convicted OF the Of
fcrsc of conspirnG with others to cheat
and dcfraud one Sadler of the sum OF
one dollar. Defendant protested TO be
Il medium and gave seances in which
he was assisted by others. Sadler was
Il detective and attended with another
detective, paying before the proceed
ings began the usual sum OF one dollar.
During the proceedings Sadler expos
cd the defendant as an impoStor.
The Court says:
1t Is apparent that the conspiracy to
cheat was not specially aimed at Sad
Ter when the scheme WAS concoctcd,
but at such persons as might be in
duced to attend the meetings. 1t may be
that no particular persons were in view,
and had no one attended the meeting no
one could have been named asan intend
cd victim, although the offensc of con-
spiracy would have been complete. An
Indictment in such case might charge
u conspiracy to cheat "the citizens or
Inhabitants OF the State aud Others" or
such persons as should become pur-
chascrs." But where the conspiracy has
been carried out. and money has been
obtained from some person IN conSe-
Qnence Of 1t, the overt act has shown
and made certain what was uncertain
before, viz: the person whom it was the
conspirators' intention to defraud.
The law Is more necessary TO the pro-
lection OF the unwary and simple
minded. who are not looking for dupli-
city and deceit. than shrewdcr persons.
Designing persons do not ply their
neiarious vocations among the latter
class. but seek for victims among those
whose credulity makes them more
easily deceived. We cannot agree with
counsel in considering those who be-
licve in the theories OF spiritualism to

a crime. 1t is said that the informa-
ton charges a conspiracy TO defraud
one who could not be defrauGed, be-
cause lie knew the representations to
he false. The conspiracy is complete
when il is formed. ana the guilt or
innocence of the COnSpirltorS does not
depend unon the success Of the enter
prise They carried OUT their scheme
and obtained money from Sadlcr and
others. which shows that he was an

 She started, and there were tears on her cheeks, in the mellow glow of the full harvest moon.
 Bertha, you have been crying!'
 She tried to smile. "I-I believe l have been little low-spirited. l think I need a change of scene. Indeed, l have concluded to accept my cousins invitation to go to Switzerland with her"
 ''Not unless I am to go, too, Bertha!'
 I knelt by her side, possessing my self resolutely of one slender hand, and told her, frankly and simply, how much I loved her, and what considerations of honor and honesty toward Richmond Kent had sealed my lips so long.
 Her hand trembled in my grasp.
 'T thought Once," she murmured, "that solitary and self-contained life would satisfy me. think so no longer You have taught me, dear Robert, how necessary, one human being may be to another's happiness"
 And the lesson has been gathering new beauty and gladness for us both from that day to this!-New York Evening World.

Jungle Food and Jungle ro,son.

Those who have travelled much through the damp jungles of India, such as the Terai, cannot have helped noticing the large amount of fungoid growth, both terrestrial and epiphytical, that presents itself, much of which is edible, but requires an intimate ac quaintance with botany to determine between the poisonous and uninimicaL. What were not long since considered semisavage races on the northeast from tier are the best guides the uninitiated, however, can employ to distinguish the two classes. So close is the resemblance that it would be dangerous for the ig norant traveller to trust to his own un aided discrimination, and if the services of a human nomad are not available the fungi should be submitted to the equally au fait judgment of a tame mSnkey-a thing no traveller should be without.
 The animal must be very closely watched when sitting in judgment. es- pecial notice being taken of his counte- nance. If the specimen is poisonous. there is a decided look of disgust ap parent, as the creature throws it from him, but if nonpoisOnous it is torn into fragments, first smelled nd then trans ferred to the mouth. in which case one may rest perfectly satisfied that it is edible, even though ''jaekoO" may not eat it. In no case will our remote con nections make mistake, nor. for that matter, will an elephant either. A spare elephant or two is also handy thing to have among your luggage.

Superstition at Fault.

Notwithstanding the superstition of railroad engineers the most useful, sue cessful and satisfactory locomotive on the Baltimore and Ohio system is No. 1913. It Is one of their ten-wheel loco motives with seventy-eight-inch driv- CTS, built under contract by the Bald win company, and is not only the best of the lot, but the best on the road for running record and for repairs. It has been constantly in service for nearly nine years, has never had an accident to itself or to any car it has hauled, has been late less times than any other en- zine in use by the company, and has cost almost nothing for repairs. Whole years have passed without having to send this engine to the repair shop, al though the other nine engines which were built at the same time by the same man and from the same material are laid up frequently.

Mendelssohn,s Compliment.

While still young man, Gounod went to Leipsic and played some of his music before Mendelssohn, to whom he had been introduced by the sister of the maestro. He was sitting at the piano, executing one of his masses, when Mendelssohn suddenly arose and interrupted him. 'Was that composed by you, young manT he asked.
 "Yes, my dear master" was the re- ply.
 Astonishing! Why, Cherubini could not have done betterw
 At the time, Cherubini was an un- contested authority. The compliment was, therefore, all the more precious.

How He Made Her Hold Her Toneue

The late Sir William Jenner is cred ited with having enjoyed the largest professional income of any physician in Great Britain in his generation, his practice having brought him $75,000 a year for several years before he retired The London newspapers teem with an- ecdOtes concerning him. One of these has been told of other physicians, but 1t probably originated with Sir William, who had holy horror of tittle-tattle. One of his lady patients would cheer fully pay her fee just to have the Op- portunity of gosSiping with him. Her first words would be: Have you heardY' and Jenner would break in: "No; I have not. Please to put this thermometer in your mouth, that may take your temperature" And he kept the tube between her lips for ten min- utes, so that only five minutes were left for the lady to indulge in chatter.

A PRAYER.

Not easel would not stoop so low to ask That this dull pain grow ever less and
 less, Until the hardship of my daily task No longer on my crippled life should
 press. Not dcathi I would not leave, with cow
 ard feet, The battlefield where He so bravely
 fought. Could I His tender eyes once dare to
 meet,
 If that first rapture were too dearly
 bought? Nor do pray that I may soon forget In some new joy the anguish of the old. Better drink deep of memory and regret, Than taste the draught that Lethe's cup
 may hold. But strength I ask to bear the standard
 high
 He carried proudly and with faithful
 care, That, when the day shall come for me to
 die, It still may be, as now, unstained and
 fair. And grant me sympathy with others pain, That so my own may serve its purpose
 best; Nor seek to shift its heavy load again, Since thus I learn the need of all the
 rest. And faith to feel that He is with me still, Through stress of storm and wastes of
 weary way, Guiding me ever by His wiser will Up to the hilltop of some clearer day. Boston Transcript.

 American salmon trout have made their appearance in the River Spree, at Berlin, probably having escaped from the fisheries exhibition.
