THE BUILDING ACCEPTED.
The Building Committee Meets and Accepts
the Auditorium Annex

The Building committee of the De-
partment of Agriculture met yester-
day. at ~ o'clock for the purpose of
accepting the new annex to the de-
partment Mr.. j. w. Bailey, the chair
man of the committee, and the fol-
lowing members were present: X. IL.
Jones and Prof. j. III. Holmes. Mr..
Brimley was present as proxy for Col.
Cunningham.
1t appearing to the committee that
the defects which have been hereto
fore noted, have all been remedied and
the building being in other respects
such as called for in the contract, the
committee accepted the building as
satisfactory from the hands of the
committee.
The annex is an enlargement OF the
present museum, and the additional
space given will be used to store the
overflow exhibits.
There will be also an entirely new
line of exhibits started, and several
classes of exhibits will be exposed,
of which there is now no representa-
ton in the museum.
Especial attention will be paid to
anthropological exhibits and also ex-
hibits relating to the history of the
State An entirely new agricultural
exhibit will be installed which has
been in the course of collection for
several years. This exhibit will per-
tain to forestry and minerals especial
ly. 1t is said that the department has
on hand four carloads of specimens
for which until now they have not
found space.
Among other features that will be
added is the aquarium where will
be kept an exhibit of aquatic plants
and also fish, provided that sufficient
clear water can be procured. The de
partment will be very economical in
their space, as the building with the
annex, covers all the space belonging
to the department.
The annex has seven halls, the most
important of which is the auditorium.
This will hold about 275 people, and
will be used chiefly for lectures, which
are to be in touch with the character
of the department. None of the halls
are furnished yet, but the auditorium
is to be furnished first, and in this
hall is to- be held the meeting of the
Commissioners of Agriculture of the
cotton growing States. This meeting
will take place August 28-31st.
The entire annex cost $4,000.

A MUCH MARRIED WOMAN.
Mrs Mcvickers at Last WEEDS Mr.. Britt, Of
This City.

The Richmond Dispatch OF Sunday
prints the following:
"a marriage license was issued yes
terday to Mr.. CASTOR Britt and Mrs
Cornelia A. Parker, daughter of Pres
ley and Margaret Triffin. They were
to be married yesterday
Britt is a resident of this city. So
once was Mrs. Parker. Then she went
to Durham.
While here she kept house and Britt
was her boarder-his wife having Sc
cured a divorce on Mrs. Parker's ac-
count.
Then the grand jury began to ask
embarrassing questions, and Mrs. Par
ker moved to Durham. There she con-.
scented to marry Britt provided he
would give her gold watch and 500
to buy furniture. He forked over
the cash and she took it and ran away
with one Chas. H. McVickers, a cigar
drummer, whom she married at Dan
vile. This was some three or four
months ago.
1t seems that they did not long re-
side together. About two months ago
she returned to Raleigh. Britt again
became her constant companion. She
was charged with stealing $50 from a
man from Burlington. He had her
arrested. She swore she would kill
him. He had her put under a peace
bond. But before the trial for the
theft of the money he went to the
magistrate, withdrew the prosecution
and had her released from the peace
bond.
Then Mrs. McVickers and Britt left
town, and the next heard of them
was the above.
If Mrs. McVickers really married
Britt, as appears from the Richmond
papers. and has not been divorced
from McVickers, she now has two
husbands living and one (Parker)
dead, whom she was accused of kill
ing, and for whose murder she was
tried and acquitted.

Much time and labor have been be-
slowed By scientific men in expert
ments relating to the use of phosphor-
us III the manufacture of lucifer
matches. It is found that while tho
present, factory rules in England have.
led to improved conditions and less
ened risk, further advances are I'M
perati7ely Necessary. Some of the
works in that country are old and
lend themselves with difficulty to the
improved structural arrangements
found in the more efficiently equipped
establishments, and in most of them
methods now shown to be obsolete
are in use, involving unnecessary risk
70 the operatives. and the dangerous
processes are said to be largely carried
on by persons in whom the danger is
further aggravated by ursound teeth.
The fact is particularly noted OF the
neglect in substituting machinery for
hand labor in the augerous processes,
in the want of attention to the condi-
tion OF operatives teeth and neglect
ing to report we'll known cases OF
phosphorus poisoning, or even watch
ing for their Observation-Disclosures

Al Old Ladies' Tea.

The first old ladies' tea which start
ed the fad was Oh the birthday Of g.
young matron's mother. She desired
to give fine spread of the most fash
ionable kind, but the mother OBJ
iected. eff You would give a real
tea, such as we used to have at
home, without all this modern fash
ionable fuss and feathers, I would
really enjoy it." the mother said, "but
do not want all these courses, with
different plates and silver every five
minutes. It tires me all out.
So the old time friends were invited
to very informal tea, and all dressed
com'orta' ly in their black silks, with
little white lace caps, and brought
their knitting aud crocheting in the
new old fashioned ,reticules. When
u was served everything was put
q the table at once, the servants dis
missed and the things passed by the
guests that were nearest. Instead of
mod5rn salads, French dishes and
ccnglcmerations there were sliced
tongue and ham, thin cut bread aud
buttel;Ss some fluffy stirred biscuits,
apple sauce, preserved ounces, the
little sour pickles, curraat jelly, snow
pudding, a light pound cake and tea.
There was nothing stiff or formal
about il, aud the old time friends en-
ioyed recalling past experiences with
out Interruptions or formality.
