PENITENIIARY APPOINT
MENTS.

There has been general criticism by
the press of the State, as far as we haye
read, and by private individuals as we
have heard them speak, of Governor
Russell's appointment of the peniten-
tiary superintendent and manager.
Many OF the admirers of Capt. Day
and Mr.. Tillery haye thought and said
that the appointments are mlsfit.
THE COMMONWEALTH only says what 1t
said last week: The Legislature can
not afford to endorse any action of
Governor Russell which it would not
have made its own without Russell's
suggestion or recommendation.

Another great discovery has been
made and that too, by lady in this
country. "Disease fastened it's clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest test, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery by purchasing of US a bottle
OF DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, and was so much relieved on
taking first dose, that she slept all
night and with two bottles has been
absolutely cured. Her pane is Mrs.

THE GOVERNORS MESA

Governor Russellls message to the
General Assembly did not make much
impression on that body. He reviewed
the general conditions of the State
through its various institutions rec
commended such appropriations as will
aid them in continued usefulness to
the State. He made some recommen-
dations about the public roads and
public schools, and referred with evil
dent pleasure and pride to the fact that
North Carolina credit is better now
than it has been since the civil war.
Of penitentiary matters touching the
farm interests, he recommended as fol-
lows:
"The plantation on the Roanoke
river, known as the Halifax Farm, has
been held by the penitentiary under a
lease, which expires with the year
1899. The working of 1t has never
been profitable to the State. 1t is
recommended that it be surrendered
to its owners.
"The plantation known as the Gala
donja, on the Roanoke river, is held
under lease which expires at the end
OF the year 1901. The State holds an
option on this land at a stipulated
price. l would recommend that some
provision be made for the purchase OF
this property. The General Assembly
might authorize the issuse of 4 per
cent. bonds for the purpose. To pur-
chase at the option price with 4 per
cent. bonds would, by stopping the
rents, save considerable sum-"

THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

The theme of Rey. r. T. Vann's SER
mon at IL a. m. was "Secret Prayer"
The Savior once bids us to be bap-
tiled, once bids us to observe the
Lords Supper, but admonishes us to
pray always. Prayer is the one thing
most insisted upon and yet the thing
most neglected. "When ye pray" says
Christ, taking it for granted that men
do pray. In five Of Paul's epistles he
urged the Importance of prayer.

night by a negro farm hand. She was
making a bed on the third floor, when a
piercing scream was heard by her sister
and a visitor. Mrs. Louderbach. Both
ran to the room, where they found Blanche
with a gag in her mouth and finger marks
on her throat They started to run down.

He locked them in the room and made his
escape.
Plucky Mrs. Louderbach, however. wait

Blanche's mouth, and then, jumping out Of
the third-story window to the porch below.
by the aid of tree made her way 10 the

Mrs. Louderbach sped.
In a minute a score of men were in chase

could be restrained from lynching him. but
wiser counsels prevailed. Squire Vande

For the Baltimore Zoo.

BALTIMORE. Nov. S.-Another bear has
been added to the collection, at the zoo in
Druid Hill Park. This latest arrival is a
black bear from somewhere up in New
York State. and, although very young. it
promises to be larger than &hy of the 9TH
ers. For the present Captain Cassell has
had him quartered in the old pheasants'
cage. north of the monkey house, with the
small cinnamon bear, which was recently
taken out of the pit. The new bear is the
youngest now in the park, and is as play
full as kitten. 1t spent the entire day
yesterday romping with his brown play
mate. There are now five bears altOgeth-
er at the zoo, two full grown and three
cubs. The fighting bear monopolizes the
new pit, and it is regarded as unsafe to
put any other bear with him. Old Joe and
one of the brown cubs occupy the old pit,
and there are now two cubs in the pheas-
ants cage. The crowded condition Of the
zoo is becoming more and more apparent
every day, and it il expected the park
board will soon formulate some plan to
provide more commodious accommoda-
tions The pheasants' cage is small af-
fair, and the bears cannot get enough ex-
ercise In it.
