NOW FOR RED AND WHILE
THESE WERE THE COLORS OF
THE RALEIGH.
A FLAG FOR The CRUISER RiLLGH
she is Expected 10 Visit Wilmington Soon anc
The Manila Gun viii then be Pr sented
tothis City. WiImington's
Courtesy.

Once in an unguarded moment the
city of Raleigh adopted red and yellow
as its colors--the Spanish flag.
Why this was done no mortal man
that / know of has ever been able to
explain.
Sir Walter Raleigh was the foe OF
the Spaniard and il was by Spanish
influence that he was finally beheadedt
and yet, strange to say, the city named
for him choose the Spanish flag as its
colors.
This mistake was. however. remedied
last night by the board of aldermen.
1t came uD i'm connection with the
proposition to appoint Il committee to go
To Wilmington to meet the cruiser Raj
eigh. :
A motion had been adopted auth0riz-
ing the mayor to appoint committee
of the board and another of citizens to
go down to welcome the cruiser and
receive the gun she proposes to present
to the city. Mr.. Drewry called attcn-
ton to the fact that there was some
thing expected of this city besides taking
whatever was given and saying,
''Thank you.
He suggested that IL stand of colors,
or silk flag of this city be presented
to the cruiser. The suggestion met
with immediate favor, and motion
passed authorizing an appropriation Ia
pay for handsome silk flag with the
coat of arms of the city upon it,
Then attention was called to the fact
that the colors adopted during the cen
tennial were Spanish-red and yellow
whereas they ought to be red and white
Sir Walter Raleigh'S colors. \ mo
ton passed unanimously to adopt red
and white as the city's colors.
The mayor appointed the following
committee to have the flag prepared and
presented: Messrs. Drewry, Miller and
Mcdonald
1t was also ordered. on motion of Mr..
Miller, that the date of the founding of
this city Q792l be put upon the city
seal.
No definite Information has yet
been obtained as to when the
Raleigh will be Mt Wilmington. In
fact it is not even known whetlic., ii
will come to Wilmington at all or nos,
or only stop at Southport. \ letter yes
terday from Mr.. w. Il. Worth, presl-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce,
stated that the vessel was expected
there any time after the 2nd of May.
Mr.. Worth in this letter also offered
his services in arranging the details
for any ceremonies the citizens OF this
place might desire. To this Mr.. Nc
Donald, for the committee, replied
thanking the people of Wilmington for
their kindness and expressing the hope
that a special train from here might he
obtained in order that all who desired
might be able to go.
Capt Coghlan was also queried a to
when his vessel would reach Wilmington,
when and where the Manila gun would
be presented and when the city of Raj
eigh's delegation could be received
TO this telegram no reply had been
received ut a late hour last night.
If sufficient number of people Will
go from Raleigh ON this occasion Il
81 80 round trip rate can be secured.

A lightning Change" Artist.

AS lay stretched on the bank Mt the
foot Of a great maple l saw q weasel
run along in the brush fence some dis
tance away. A few seconds later he
was standing OH the exposed root of
the tree hardly yard from my eyes.
l lay motiOnless and examined the
beautiful creature minutely, till sud
denly l found myself staring at the
smooth grcensh-gray root of the maple
with no weasel in sight. Judging from
my own experience, should say that
this Is the usual termination of any
chance observation of either weasels
or minks.
Occasionally they may be seen to
dart into the brushes or behind some
log or projecting plank, but much more
frequently they vanish with sudden
ness that. defies the keenest eyesight.
In all probability this vanishing is
accomplished by extreme repidity Of
motion, but II this Is the case then the
creature succeeds in doing something
utterly impossible to any other warm
blooded animal Of its size. Mice,
squirrels, and some of the smaller birds
are all Of them swift enough ut times,
but except in the case of the humming
bird none OF them succeed in accom-
plishing the result achieved by the
weasels-W. L. Cram, in Appleton's

It that though the veteran lawyer and
corporation lobbyist who shelled out
the coin had to divide up n small for
tune among the members of the select
coterie, yet he was exceedingly pleased
with the outcome, inasmuch as the cor
pOrations were ''pro;ected' for less
money. and the interests of the public
were sold for n smaller price than ever
before In the history of this State.
This was due to the fact that so well
did the syndicate and Its auxiliary In

seven-eighths of the members of the
House got nothing at nll during the en-
tire session beyond the $1,000 allowed
