ARTHUR sEWALL Is DEAD
Was Stricken With ApOplexy Sunday and
Never Regained Consciousness.

BATH, Me, Sept. 5.-Arthur Sew
all, who was the Democratic candi-
date for vice-President in the cam
paign of 1896, died at 80 o'clock
this morning at his summer home in
sew1an Point, sixteen miles from this
city. His death was not unexpected.
Mr.. Sewell was stricken with apo
plexy last Sunday evening and from
that time physicians who were in at
+apdance held out no hope that their
1atient might recover. From the
moment Of the attack the only indi-
cation of consciousness was a sigh
and feeble movement of the hand,
which was noticed Monday after
noon. Several members offMr. Sew
ais family were at the bedside when
the end came.

EDWARD W. PoU FOR CONGRESS.

On last Thursday at noon the
Democratic Congressional Conven-
ton of the Fourth district met in
Raleigh. It was an exciting and
turbulent convention and lasted till
2 a. M, Friday.
The names of Congressman At
water, Frank S. Spruill, W. B. Shaw,
w. @. Hammer and Ed. Chambers
Smith were placed before the Con-
vention.
The first ballot gave Atwater $50,
Spruin "a, Shaw Al, Smith 60N,
Hammer 81.
About the sixth ballot the Wake
delegation dropped Smith and gave
Edward w. Pou, whose name had
not been before the Convention, ten
votes. His name was then placed
before the Convention by w. G.
Douglass, who, it is understood de-
sires to succeed Pou as Solicitor. r
After Mr.. Pou's name was men
toned Atwater received Sc votes,
Pou about 100, Spruill sc and the
remaining votes to other candidates.
The balloting then continued with
little variation till the Tooth ballot
was reached. On that ballot Pou
received 81, Atwater 81, Spruiu 60,
Hammer So, and Shaw 26. p
Mr.. SpruilI withdrew and Mr.. Pou
was nominated on the 112th ballot,
receiving 185 votes.
Such is a brief history of the con-
vention. No one who attended failed
to note that the other candidates
regarded the springing of Pou,s
name, after his last weeks letter OF
withdrawal, as an act of injustice
and unfairness. 1t is understood
that Capt. Shaw would have with
drawn but for this feeling. And
Mr.. Atwater on the last ballot made
a desperate effort to defeat Pou by
throwing his strength to Hammer.
With very ski1fu1 management dur
ing the last two ballots, Hammer
might possibly have defeated Pou-
Seconding Mr.. Pou's nomination,
Mr.. Abel of Johnston said, as we
heard him and a reported by the
News and Observer.
eff you don't give us Pou we want
to tell you that the man you do
nominate shall be elected if it takes
a thousand more votes from John
ston than there r in the county.
That's Johnston county Democracy,
and that's E. w Pou's Democracy
Mr.. Atwater, called for after Pou's
nomination, acquiesced in the decis-
ion of the convention, and said: 81
shall go out of this convention and l
shall ever stand for the bestinterests
of North Carolina, as I have ever
tried to do. I shall stay in the Demo
cratic party as long as it stands for
democracy, and Ilshan stay there no
longer" =,

THE ELECTION IN ARKANSAS.
JEFF Davis, Democrat, Elected Governor by
a Big Majority.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Sept. THE
entire Democratic ticket headed by
Hon. jeff, Davis, of Pope county, for
Governor, was elected in Arkansas.
All early returns indicate that
the vote will be lighter than was ex-
.pected. H. L. Remmet, the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, made
a good showing and his increased
vote over two years ago will proba-
bly, reduce the usually large Demo
cratic majority. There was no OPP
position to the Democratic ticket for
any office except the governorship.

Pension Rolls Increasing.

The fourth coming annual report of the
commissioner of pensions, Mr.. Evans,
will show a grand total OF 993, 500 pen
Sloners on the rolls on July 1 last. The
hSures on which the report will be based
are now complete and ready for incor-
poration in the report. They show that
on July 1, 1899, there were 991 $40 pen
sloners on the rolls. During the year
1864 original pensions were granted
ana 1860 names were restored to the
rolls
To Offset these, 1884 names were
cropped from the rolls during the year,
including $4,000 by reason of deaths,
9o9 by remarriages of pensioners, and
o,6l6 for other causes, leaving the total
number on tie roll the first of the month
993529.
This is an increase of 2,O10 pensioners
ior the year. The number of claims OF all
Kinds pending July 1, 1900, was 437, 1O4,
against At ,239 on July 1, 1899.
The report shows total of 26O, 797
names dropped during the six years
ended June 80, of which 1904 were
because of deaths. The number dropped
py reason of death during the fiscal year
e!osed is about IA, 200 less than was es'
tlmated.

Now Gather Your CaterpiIlars.

According to the New Bedford STAN
dard, this is just the time of year when
to destroy one caterpillar or beetle or
bug of the sort that dismantle trees and
shrubs and flower gardens, is to accom-
plish work OF prevention that the pro-
verb says is so efficacious. For without
being too scientific about the matter,
this is the season when the tussock moth
caterpillars come down from the trees
for the express purpose of spinning their
cocoons, and to do them up at this stage
Of their existence is to save future multi
plication and trouble from them. Now,
is preparing to lay eggs for a second
brood to mature late in the summer so
that every one of that species destroyed
means no one can say how many for
hidden to come into the world. In this
work of benevolent determination every
householder is called upon to take an
active part. DESTROY all the caterpillars
and beetles and bugs in sight and sweep
from the trunks OF trees all cocoons and
destroy them.
There are, too, several insecticides for
use III . pl lllS NlSNSJ anu Iiido libNlh5
them OF pests that strip them of their
leaves. 1t is thought by some that this
stripping of the foliage from tree
doesn't really hurt anything but the
appearance of it for a time; but the fact
of the matter is that tree cannot stand
an annual stripping and survive for
manv years. The leaves are its lungs, so
to speak, and the average length of time
is but three years without leaves in
which handsome elm passes into the
final decaying condition. So it may be
understood that while municipalities do
and should make a regular effort every
year to clear the trees within their juris
diction of destructive insects as far as
possible, the duty is laid upon every
citizen to come to the protection of the
trees in his neighborhood in order to keep
them in state where he is glad to re-
cognize them as his friends.

4One occurred many years ago, when
was working in a shop in the old
Reid House in Chattanooga. A lady
customer dropped a cluster brooch
from the counter to the tiled floor, a
distance Of about 915 feet. 1t struck
Bquarely on the center stone, which
was broken into q number Of small, If
regular fragments. The diamond had
weighed about two carats.
1.-THE other instance took place here
In New Orleans about six years ago.
A st. Louis travelling man named
Crawford had a solitaire weighing IL
carats set in a ring He was standing
in the store and while conversing about
something made a sudden gesture and
struck the stone against a metal fix
tuHe. 1t was split into small, jagged
splinters, number Of which we found
on top Of the showcase. The drummer
himself was the most astonished man
ever saw. He had supposed dia-
monds were indestructible simply be-
cause they were hard"-New Orleans

at is a mistaken idea that actresses
are as a general rule handsomer on the
stage than off," writes Franklin Fyles
In The Ladies' Home Journal "The
reverse is as likely to be true. Never
theless all theatrical faces have to be
painted. 1t may be assumed safely
that none of the complexion is genuine.
An exceptionally clear and pink skin
may require no falsity. A dark one
may chance to suit the character to be
assumed. But these exceptions to the
rule are rare. The glare Of artificial
light would make most faces CHASTITY
white or unpleasantly sallow If bright
hues were not laid on. The art Of col
oring q pretty visage just enough and
not overriding it is one which all ac-
tresses should learn. Many do not,
and so we see beauty disfgured in
stead of enhanced. Others are very
expert There are two distinct proc
esses. One makes use Of colored pow
ders applied dry; the other mixes the
same powders with grease, making a
substance called grease paint"

lndia's Fearful Condition.

1t is not strange that there are rumors
OF discomfort with British rule in India,
Tor the people Of that unfortunate coun.
try are beseiged by famine and plague,
ana under such conditions the most nat
ural thing in the world is to put the re-
sponslbility on the Government. The
Governor Of Bombay sends word to the
Secretary of State for India that there
were 9,92S cases of cholera in the famine
district during the week ending July 7th,
OF which no less than GAIA were fatal,
While III the native states there were
9o26 cases OF which $500 were fatal.
Happily, rains have set in in some local.
ties, but in spite of this the needs OF relief
in the impoverished districts continues
to increase. The call goes out to the
whole world. We are our brothers
keeper in India as in the islands OF the
sea, and we must add as much as we
can to the generous contribution America
has already made. Millions OF human
beings are suffering in India for want of
the commonest necessaries of life. Shall
we hold back from our full granaries and
comfortably filled purses the assistance
that is so sorely required?
The talk of revolt against the British
Government will diminish if only the
famine becomes less terrible The more
enlig htened people of India understand
what England has done tor them, and
would hesitate to lend their countenance
to an uprising having for its purpose the
driving out of the Anglo. Saxon. Mr..
Bryan when he was in this part of the
country some months ago, had his fling
at England for her treatment of India
but it would be interesting to ask him
what India could have done in her late
sore straits without English assistance
Could a native government have pro-
vided for the relief OF millions as England
has done! Would there have been such
selfsacrihcing and intelligent direction
of affairs in this trying time if the much
abused British had not been on hand to
bring order out of chaos and to put
bread into the mouths of midas teeming
| population? Mr., Stead says that the
yellow races have announced to the
world that they prefer to live in thei,
own way. That sounds well, but it is
not practicable at this late stage in the
development of the race for them to dc
so. For our sake and their sake they
must be helped to the utmost Of oul
ability, and in the end they will bless u:
for our efforts.
All New England contributions fol-
India famine should be sent to Brown
Bros. & Co., so State ST., Boston, who
forward free of all expense all money
thus received and only few hours arr
needed to place the money by cable il

'Under certain conditions, which are
very rare and remarkable" said an old
jeweler, "a diamond may be shattered
to atoms by q smart, sudden blow. The
stone seems to disintegrate and fly
apart, as nearly as I can express it,
and when the Kimberley gems first
came into the market the Brazilian
brokers claimed that they were espe-
cially subject to that kind Of accident.
For the time being the story had its
effect on trade, but it was proved to be
untrue, and the incident is now forgot

nearly 40 years l have known Of only
two cases Of diamonds being broken.
