London, was in the form of single
check on the Bank of England for
Ell ,OO8,857 16s Cd. This is the larg-
est check eyer drawn on the bank, and
was delivered by Sir Halliday Macart.
ney on behalf of the Chinese govern
ment. The transaction took place at
the Threadneedle Street institution in
the presence of the governor, the
deputy governor and the chief cashier
of the bank. With Sir Halliday was
T. Y. Lo, representing the Chinese
minister. The largeness of the sum is
owing to the fact that the Chinese
government, by the treaty of Shimono-
seki, took advantage of the right to
pay the outstanding portion of the in
demnity by single payment at the
end of the third year, from May 3,
1895, instead of by means of equal
installments extending until
the seventh year. The entire balance
of the indemnity and one years occu-
patton expenses of Wei-hai-wei were
paid therefore. The transaction really
involved a sum of nearly ELS, 900, 900,
the difference having been settled on
account.

THE MODERN GUN.-A feature OF
the modern gun will doubtless be its
accuracy of aim, says Professor Ira N.
Hollis, in the June Atlantic. The guns
of the first monitor had the ordinary
sights, and the men had to look out
through portfolios of revolving tur-
ret to find the enemy. We might say
they often fired "on the wing" with
very indefinite notions of the range,
and the briefest instant for training
the guns. The Iowa's turrets have
small boxes projecting above the COW
ers for lookouts. Horizontal slits are
cut near the tops of these boxes, Civ
ing a view around the horizon. The
guns themselves are aimed by means
of cross hairs in telescopes, and fired
by electric buttons, which are in
Simultaneous in their action. Once the
cross hair is on the object, the projec-
tile may be sent on its way at a veloci-
ty of 1000 feet second before the roll
of the ship has time to impair its ac-
curacy.

WHAT "SING Song OF SIX PENCE
MEANS. You all know this rhyme,
but have you ever heard what it
really means?
.The four-and-twenty blackbirds rep
sented the twenty-four hours. The
bottom of the pie is the world, while
the top crust is the sky that over
arches it. The opening of the pie is
the day dawn, when the birds begin
to sing and surely such sight is f'
for q king.
The king, who is represented as sit
ting 10 his parlor counting out his mon
ey, is the sun, while the gold pieces
that slip through his fingers, as be
counts them, are the golden sunbeams.
The queen, who sits in the dark
kitchen, is the moon, and the honey
with which she regales herself is the
moonlight.
The industrious maid, who is in the
garden at work before her king-the
sun-has risen, is day-dawn, and the
clothes she hangs out are the clouds
The bird who, so tragically ends the
song by "nipping off her nose" is the
sunset. So we have the whole day, il
not in nutshell, in pie.

O,0OO or $4,000 worth and had sold
millions of his cigars from Maine to
Texas. The department notified the
revenue officers all over the country to
seize the Jacobs's goods wherever
found, and seizures have already been
made at Charlotte and other points in
this state, and at points in other states
from Rhode Island to Louisiana, and
from New York to California. 1t is
probable that innocent dealers who
have actually paid for the cigars will
be permitted to retain them on condi.
tion that they restamp them. Cigars
not paid for will be sold and the pro-
ceeds turned into the treasury. A
meeting will begin tomorrow morning
at 10 O'Clock in the A. R. P. church at
Bessemer. Preaching by Rev. G. R..
White, D. D., of Grftith's, N. c. The
members are urged to arrange that
they may all be there, and the people
of the town and community are most
cordially invited to all the services by
the pastor, Rev. J. NJ. Garrison, who
sends us this notice. '....''.'Mrs. w. A.
Sossaman corrects the statement pub
lished last week that her husband had
not been vaccinated. The report that
he had not been vaccinated came to
Gastonia through some of our citizens
who were in Charlotte Monday, and
also through other channels. Our in
formation was regarded as entirely re-
liable, and the fact that Mr.. Sossaman
had taken smallpox made the report
appear so plausible that we did not
think of investigating it. We print
with pleasure Mrs. Sossaman's correc-
ton. She writes: "You are misin-
formed as to Mr.. Sossaman's having
not been vaccinated. He had been
and had good scar. All of our fam
lily were vaccinated last year, and now
we are vaccinated again. The doctors
had told Mr.. Sossanan his scar was
enough, so do not think he thought so
little of the public and his family"
.........There are lots of things that
don't happen. A marriage in Gastonia
last Sunday is one of them. The
young man got his license all right
yes, he did, and the girl it seemed was
willing. But the old people were op-
posed to allowing this case of love to
run too smoothly. The license was
procured, the time set, the magistrate
notified, the groom was ready, and
detail of young men sent in the dead
hours of Saturday night to steal the
girl. But 10 and behold when they
approached the back window to re-
ceive the waiting, trembling bride,
whom should they see but the old man
sitting at the window loaded for bear.
They didn't get the girl and the mar
riage is among the things that were
scheduled but never happened.
