THE RECENT MURDER STILL

SHROUDED IN MYSTERY.
Charlotte. n. c.. Nov. 2i.-The muir
der of Mrs. Violet Collcy and her niece,
Miss Jane Cathcart, remains shrouded
in mystery.
a coroner's jury, consisting of
Messrs. Il. j.. Hoover, w. c. Wingate
~ III. Rhyme and n. a. Cathey, was
summoned yesterday morning. Dur
ing their sitting yesterday they discov-
cred nothing that indicates n clue to
the murder.
After careful search of the house
the jury found about $3.50 hidden in va
rious places. About $l5 of this sum
was found loose in the cupboard in the
sitting room, while over $500, i'll So and
$40 bills and gold coins. was found in
the closet under the stairs. The money
was handed over to the sheriff for
keeping.
The local authorities are. or course
ut work on the case, but so far they
have found no evidence or circum-
stance that may be accepted as n clue
to the crime.
Residents of this city and in all other
parts OF the country are shocked be-
You'd words by the horrible tragedy.
Despite the secluded life of the two old
women, they We're universally respect

quent burning of their bodies, has
aroused the kecnest sense of indigna-
tion in all Mecklenburg. The univer-
sal sentiment is that the most diligent
effort must be made to capture the
criminal or criminals, and that if the
local authorities can find no clue, then
detective should be brought here and
put To work on the case 1t is repeat-
ed that the record of crime in this com

Two murders committed in the most

been made. nor has suspicion rested
plainly on Il single man. To allow the
de*ii-"ho siew-tfIese- poor Utci women
to remain at large is a traVesty on JUS
tice and civilization.
There is curious irony In the fact
that. apparently, the murderer aot no
reward for his crime. The great dis

The parade that day was credit to

Mr.. S. l.. Patterson were present to do
the speaking There were but four
chairs on the rostrum. one of which
had taken from the hotel for my own
use. The other three were for the
speakers. There should have been
more, and laziness on the part of the
committee on arrangements was the
only excuse for the shortage. Mr..
Aycock came first and was given q
seat, but Mr.. Dixon and Mr.. Patterson
being a few minutes late were unable
to secure chairs. They asked for them,
but to no purpose. Two local town
ship leaders had marched upon the
stand and captured the chairs. AS one

largest number of men from any town

knocked double with sharp hints. he
did not move. Messrs. Dixon and Pat

out they were standing on the back
part of the rostrum. and their remarks
over they returned there. The chair
man,of the executive committee of the
county told them that he was sorry,
but could not help the situation The
men who had swiped the seats heard
all the remarks. but were like posts.
Ten years ago such base impoliteness
would not have been exhibited in any
Democratic crowd that might have as

KIDNEY DISEASE KILLS.

dreds of Thousands.

If you are suffering from Kidney or
Bladder disease, the doctor asks: do
you desire to urinate often, and are
you compelled to get up frequently
during the night? Does your back
pain you? Does yonur urine stain
linen? Is there scalding pain in
passing it, and is it difficult to hold
the urine back? If so, your Kidneys
or Bladder are diseased"
Try putting some of your urine in a
glass tumbler, let it stand twenty
four hours. If there is sediment, or
n cloudy, milky appearance, your Kid
neys are sick.
DR.. David Kennedy's Favorite Rem
edy will surely relieve and cure even
the most distressing cases of these
dread diseases, and no physician can

IS IT RIGHT
For an Editor 10 Recommend Patent
Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard,
y. c. +
1t may be question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the var
ious proprietary medicines which food
the market, yet as preventive of
suffering, we feel it Il duty to say u
good word for Chamberlains Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine in
our family for 20 years and have al
ways found il reliable. In many cases
II dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while Il physician Is await
cd We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for cure,
but we do believe that if Il bottle Of
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy
were kept on hand and administered
at the inception of an attack much suf-
fering might be avoided and in very
many cases the presence of physician
would not be required. AT least this
has been our experience during the
past 20 years. For sale by all drug

through the portion of Pompeii that
| has been dug from the 20 feet of ashes
that buried the city and ruined 1t and
have not found a single case in which
bricks were used as building material
where they had not been covered in
this way. This makes the conditions
altogether different from modern ones
Still, TO anyone interested in the manu-
facture or use Of bricks, there is Ger.
tain interest in the bricks used in the
building of the ancient cities of the old
world, and so there are frequent de-
mands for the little collection, the only
one of its kind, so far as know"
The bricks in this collection are all
different in size and shape. One OF
them Is from the royal box of the Col
liseum at Rome. Others are from the
temples of Isis and Jupiter in Pompeii.
The temple of Isis was built 1000 years
ago. Some of the bricks are broken Il
little, but most of them remain firm
and hard, and seem to be almost inde-
structible by any ordinary conditions.
But the bricks are perhaps the least
interesting portion of Mr.. Hunts col
lection to most people. His collection
of photographs is one of the most re-
markable in the country, private col
lections alone considered. 1t repre-
sents almost the whole of Europe, Mex
leo, and Central America. The photo
graphs are all numbered and catalog-
ued in the most thorough manner, SO
that most OF what is interesting about
each is told by the catalogue. The
photographs have been chosen with
great care and there are, in some in
stances two or three dozen pictures of
the same building, so that examining
them and reading the catalogue gives
Il much better knowledge of the place
or object photographed than anything
else but visit could. There are over
1000 photographs in the collection,
were especially selected from the best
that were for sale at the site of what
is represented. They are not amateur
snapshot pictures, but the work of the
best professional photographers Of Eu-
rope.
The photographs make up only a
small share of the collection of Mr.
Hunt. Rare and quaint silks and 9TH
or fabrics, wood, leather, and ivory
carvings, strange and beautiful articles
of clothing, odd jewelry aud ornaments
and thousand and one other things
Of rare Workmanship or material are
included. The, collection of Mexican
sombreros is probably the finest in the
city, containing, as 1t does, dozen
beautifully ornamented hats of espe-
