CHARGE TO THE JURY.
Judge Moore made the usual charge
to the jury, calling attention to the
criminal law in general and to some
statutes in particular.
Before the revision OF the Code
in 1868 there were twenty-slx crimes
in North Carolina punishable with
death now there ale only four-lnur-
der, rape, burglary and arson.
The degrees of murder, first and
second, were fully explained, snd a
strict charge given concerning each.
Special attention was called to the
crime of SANDER.
Also Judge Moore laid much stress
upon the crime against ths law pro-
hibiting the selling OF cigarettes to
minors. He discussed clearly the
great injury which comes to boys
through the cigarette habit; and
charged the jury that they would be
remiss in their duty if they failed to
report all cases that come under this
statute. Also stress was laid upon the
statutes against selling or giving in
toxicat'ng liquors to minors, and
against the general and sweeping crime
of common gambling, and especially
against the enticement of the youth
into such habits. The charge was not
too lorg, but was clear, and made a
good impression on the jury and the
spectators and listeners in the court
room.
JUICE Moore, it will be remembered
was recently appointed by the Gov
ernor in the place of Judge Dorsey
Battle, who recently died in Rocky
Mount. Judge Moore's style OF charge
is easy; he is fluent of speech and
pleasant In his demeanor towards all
connected with the court. He is max
ing friends of those who have business
before him and his bearing in all re-
spects is that of con siderate but con-
scientious Judge.
The docket at the opening OF the
court did not show a large number OF
cases. There are three capital cases,
charges for capital punishment being
against William Pugh, Henry Mich
olson and J. w. Morris.

FOlk NOSE BLEED.
Remedies that Maybe Applied Tor I'm
mediate Attacks

Noseblecd Is so common In child
hood that little account Is ordinarily
taken If II. 1t starts generally
without apparent provocation,
however, effort should be made not
only to check the immediate attack,
but to ascertain the cause Of the trou.
bic. IL is well known that heart dis
ease. congestion Of the liver, and other
conditions affected by or affecting the
circulation O. the blood, prcdlspose
70 nO9'hIccd, and considerable anxiety
Is felt lest the nescbleed OF childhood
may result Of serious constitutional
causes. Most commonly the cause Is
local.
The best means Of checking the i'm.
mediate attack Is pressure with the
fingers on the upper lip just beneath
the nostris. A small pad Of absorb.
ent cotton or piece Of handkerchief
may be placed inside the lip and tight
~ pressed against the gum from with
out, thus COMPRISING the two small
arteries of the upper lip that supply
the nose. These can ordinarily be
felt pulsatlng In this locality.
If the bleeding is proruSe or pro.
longed, the child should be placed in
a restful position. but with the head
elevated. while ice may be held tothe
forehead o. back Of the neck, To de
crease StLil further The blood pressure
within the vessels of the nose, Il mus
tard foot.ba,h is OF service.
In the meantime blowing the nose
must be avoided Plugging the nos
trils both in front and back Is last
resort TO keep the sufferer from actual
peril.
The rredlsposing causes Of nose
bleed are, rs has been said, commonly
local Careful examination of the
nose by the physician Is therefore, al
way, necessary in rccurrent attacks.
Diseased areas I'm the nose are usually
fouHl, In which the vessels are spongy
and mnuturn)ly turgid.
The depression Of the chilG'S health
caused by repeated attacks of nose
bleed not inlrequeu,ly requires Gttcn'

TO GUARD THE CAPES
A Holland Torpedo Boat to be
Put on Guard There.
Other Southern Ports Want Similar Pro-
vision For Their Safcty-That at the
Capes to Guard Norfolk. Newport Nows,
Richmond. Baltimore and Washington.

At no distant date one of the now
Holland submarine torpedo boats will
be placed on guard ut the Virginia
Capes. to remain there on permanent
duty. This is the result of provision
made by an appropriation by Congress
providing for the purchase of six of
the Holland boats. OF these one will
be sent here. while New York, Boston
and Charleston will each have one.
1t is believed that this one boat will
be later on deemed insufficient for
such an important post and that a
larger number will be added at this
point. The entrance to Chesapeake
bay is of special Importance, as on its
safeguarding depends the safety OF
Norfolk. Portsmouth, Richmond Now
port News, Washington and Baltirn ore
There is now before the naval com
mittee of the House bill introduced
by Representative Amos 7. Cummings
of New York, poviding for the
purchase of twenty more HOLLAND sub
marine torpedo boats. If this Is passed
New York will probably get five OF the
twenty, Galveston two, Newport one
Savannah. Mobile and the mouth al
the Mississippi each one. This would
leave quite a number to place at the
important station Mt the Capes.
1t is understood that the plans for
the proposed fort at Cape Henry have
been completed. and this would be OF
still greater vaue If supplemented by
strong torpedo fleet.

CHRISTMAS is HERE.
Last Nights Surging Crowds of
Horn Blowers Filled Streets.
Tin Horns. Cow Bells. Drums and other
Noise-Crenting Devices United to Form
aPandomonium-Every Was Good
Naturcd and Fun Reigned Supreme.

Last night 1t seemed as If pandemo-
mum had broken out in Norfolk, espec-
tally on Main. Church and CRANKY
streets. The horn blowers of the after
noon were the vanguard of mighty
host that filled the streets at night and
surged up and down in a resistless
human tide. If one wished to get
along the streets he had to get in the
human current, Growing along in the
desired direction.
1t seemed as If three out of every
four persons had a horn varying any
where from foot to six feet in length,
and from base to treble. and those who
didn't have horns had drums, COW
bells or some other noise creating de-
vice that helped swell the general din.
Many of the boys and beardless
youths wore false mustaches and other
males of all ages wore false noses that
altered their appearance.
The stores were filled wifi belated
purchasers of Christmas gifts, and the
Christmas trade closed in n blaze of
glory. 1t is remarkable how early the
Christmas trade opened this year. The
stores have been meeting Christmas
demands for three weeks, and doing d
heavy trade for the past two weeks.
while in former years the Christmas
rush was only felt a few days before
Santa Claus day.
The little tots In Norfolk's homes
will wake up this morning and find
that Santa has been very good to them.
and their long cherished wishes will be
gratihed.
Today will be quietly observed, as
rule. Business will be generally sus
pended, the banks will be closed and
the postofice will observe the usual
holiday hours. The Norfolk Clearing
House Association gives notice that to-
day (Christmas). being a legal holiday.

The churches will. In many instances,
have special services appropriate to
the day. The homeless will be given

will know it is Christmas when they
sit down before the big turkeys, cram
berry sauce and other good things.
