Some Queer Tastes,

He put his fingers in the open iron
work of the hotel lamppost to steady
his weak knees, wiped the rain from
his face with shaking hand and fixed
an uncertain eye on the windows of
the dining room. He was very drunk.
His face was pale and hairy. The thin
rain had soaked his rags. Inside the
dining room well groomed men and
snowy women sat in a glory of tinted
lights, in room beautiful with table
flowers, shining with silver and cut
glass, warm with crimson walls, dam
ask curtains, plush carpets. They lift
ed delicate food to solemn faces. They
smiled formally. The dripping observ-
er kept his watery eye on them. "Well,"
he said, in a voice of generous pity,
"shpose they're enjoy selves - In
thrown way."-New York Commercial

What beautiful pcaches" said an
old lady as she stopped at stall in the
market and admired a basket Of the
choice fruit. They were covered with a
pink gauze and looked very tempting
indeed.
The old lady bought the peaches and
took them home. The next day she ap-
peared again at the stall and showed
the stall keeper small piece Of pink

A Fake Report.

There IS ii newspaper report gain
ing considerable credence to the eff
feet that Rev. Gibson, the pastor of
the church wherein Blanche Lamont
was so cruelty murdered, had con.
fessed that he is the wretch who did
the killing and that Durrant was
hanged an innocent man. How the
report got into print is a mystery
The associated press has no details
of the confession, and we doubt very
much if one was made. A state
ment such as it is alleged to have
been made by the Rev. Mr.. Gibson
would have set half the nation agog,
for no crime ever awakened more
widespread interest did than the
murder of Miss Lamont and the
events which followed Durrant's tri-
al, conviction and final execution.
The only source we can trace the
statement of the confession to, is
that few weeks before the execu-
ton of Hurst, a bulletin was posted
in Billings stating that Gibson had
confessed the murder and Durrant,
hanged on circumstantial evidence,
had been the victim of miscarriage
of justice. This was done, so it is
supposed, to influence the governor
in granting clemency to Hurst.
The next day it was discovered that
the matter was fake, but it was too
late to keep it away from the indus
trious space writer who heralded the
fact of the alleged confession to the
country press and nearly every "Jim
Grow" paper in the west published
the statement of the news fakirs at
Billings as gospel truth. To the
best of our knowledge there is not
a particle of truth in the confession
alleged to have been made by Mr..
Gibson.-Dillon Tribune.

GuLFORD III. & NJ, 5
The A. & M. Team Defeated
in Second Half.
Gardner Made Touchdown For Home College
and Daniels Carried the Ball Over
Twice For GuIford.

Guilford defeated A. and M College
yesterday afternoon by a score of lilo
5. The game was full of dash and snappy
throughout, but the A. and M. boys fun
bled badly at critical times. One OF
these fumbles enabled Guilford to make
a touch down.
The scoring began in the first half,
when A. and M. gradually forced the
ball toward Guilfords goal and finally
Max Gardner, full-back for A. sand M,
carried the sphere over the line for a
touchdown. The try for goal failed.
Thus it was at the end of the first half,
SO in favor of A. and M.
1t was in the second half that Guilford
got in her work. In swapping the ball
back, A. and M. fumbled badly, the ball
rolling some yards back of the line. Dan
iels, of Guilford, got through the line,
half the length of the open field, planting
the ball behind the goal posts. No goal
was kicked. Score SIS.
The next touch down was made on q
very pretty open play. Guilford punted
through and raced with the ball for an
this time. Score, lis.
The referee was Mr.. John Mckee,
the umpire, Mr.. Perrin Busbee, both of
this city. @8
The odds at first seemed all in favor
of A. and NJ, and indeed they seemed
to play the better game throughout. In
the first half it looked as if everything
was their way. But the fumbling lost
the day. Gardner put up a fine game,
making gains almost every time he was
given the ball. For Guilford, Daniels
seemed to be the star. His work in
breaking through the line was particu-
larly brilliant.
A good crowd saw the game although
the weather very threatening and
there was quite a goodly sprinkling of
ladies' Most of the spectators seemed
much disappointed at the defeat of the
home college, especially after the victory
seemed won in the first half.
SHAW, 10; ST. AUGUSTINE, 0.
In an interesting game played at the
Fair grounds yesterday afternoon the
Shaw University football team defeated
the st. Augustine team by a score of
10 to 0. Though the University men
were in better training and heavier than
their opponents, the game was an in
teresting one, stubbornly contested by
the ST. Augustine men to the last The
game was the feature of the Colorea,
Fair yesterday and was Witnessed by
several hundred people.

STATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
The Students of the A. & n College Think it
Has Been Failure


The following statement ssfronf stud6nfs
Of the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege was sent to the News and Observer
last night with request to publish; r
"To the Editor: We wish to state q
few facts in regard to athletics in the
A. G. NJ College. The general opinion is
that the college students Joined the Norris
Carolina State Athletic Association 81
their own accord because they thought
that such an association would improve
athletics in the State colleges and schools.
We wish to say that this is not true. At
the convention which was called to or
ganize the association, the student body
was represented by one who did so with
out their consent or knowledge of the
object of the association. The students
have always been opposed to an associa-
zion of this kind, because they thought it
would cripple college athletics in this
State. The playing has not been up to
the standard this season. This fact has
been clearly demonstrated by all the
games played this year, especially in the
one between the A. & NJ. and Guilford
College on Friday. We think that this
effort to improve athletes has been a
failure and the students are in favor of
withdrawing from the organization"

of killing a negro named Sam Moore, near
Statesville about year ago. Both negroes
were drunk at the time the killing oc-
Cured, and the plea OF self defense was
used, but evidently had but little weight
with the jury, as the negro killed was
shot in the back of the head. The con-
vict is a powerfully built negro, with a

were an ugly customer to deal with. He
is in for twenty-one years.

GENERAL ASTONISHMENT.

Action of the United States and Russia
Surprises Grent Britain.
NEW YORK, Sept. ga dispatch to
The Tribune from London says:
Explanations Of the American circu-
lar note, which have been cabled here
from Washington, have caused general
astonishment. Whatever the state de-
partment may have meant to convey,
Downing street understood the United
States government to be supporting
Russia's proposal for Immediate retire.
ment from Peking. The British foreign
office has received two disagreeable
surprises in the last week. 1t was
justly annoyed at finding that Russia,
after all her declarati ons of. affections;
for the international concert, had
calmly given orders for the retirement
Of the Russian troops and legation
without even waiting to hear what the
other powers thought of the move.
Counted on America as an Ally.
But the attitude Of the United States
was almost equally disconcerting. The
British government thought it was en-
titled to rely on American support in
the endeavor to settle the Chinese ques.
tion effeotually. The British official
viewis that this retirement from Peking
is only advantageous for Russia which
kills three birds with one stone. In
the first place she has her troops free
for use where she wants them just
now, namely in Manchuria; second,
she limits the expenditure Of money
which in the present condition Of her
finances is highly. desirable; third, she
prevents the possible removal Of the
Chinese seat Of government from Pc.
king, where, for reasons Of her own,
she particularly desires that it should
remain.
