TODAY'S EVENTS.
what VIII BE Done in Portland Dur
Ing the Day.

This will not be quiet day in Port
land, but compared with some Inde-
pendencs days of the past it will be some
what tame. The small boy will begin
early with an inexhaustible supply Of
fire crackersgand the swapping and bang
ing will go on from sunrise to long after
sunset. There will undoubtedly be the
usual number of accidents. Eyes will
be blinded, faces speckled with powder
specks life time will not eradicate,
and hands and arms blown off. The
small boy will enjoy himself without
doubt, but Portland does very little
in the way of a general celebration.
The committee on Fourth of July enter
tainment announces it's official pro-
gramme as follows:
The bells will be rung at the usual
hours, the prayers of many citizens who
object to having them rung at the I'M
earthly hour generally denoted as sunrise
having been of no avail.
From 10 o'clock to noon there win be
band concerts on the Eastern Promenade
and in the Oaks.
From 8 to p, there will be band con-
certs in the Oaks and at the corner of
Congress street and Washington avenue.
In the evening there win be a public
meeting in the City hall at which there
will be a band concert and other feat
ures Mayor Robinson Will preside and
the principal grafton will be by Judge

will be able to be present.

NOT CARRIERS ENOUGH.
Four Men Find the Deering Job Too
Much for Them.

The free delivery service in the Deering
district on its second day worked consid-
erably better, but it is yet a long way
from reaching perfection. Furthermore
it is believed by those best acquainted
with the district with its sixty-fve miles
of streets, that the service with four men
is far too small when it is considered that
the old wards of the city with half the
number of miles of streest have four
times as many carriers. 1t is probable
that one of the first things to be done in
order that the efficiency of the service
may be maintained win be a move on the
part of the local authorities to have the
carrier force increased by at least few
more men.

joyfully awaiting his approach.

THE VOLUNTEER ARMY
To be Dfsbanded by July Next Efforts
to Replace Them With Regulars.

Washington, November 21.-Adjutant
General Corbin authorizes the state
ment that it is the intention of the war
department to bring home from the
Philippines to the United States every
one of the volunteers who cares to
come, and discharge them here, on or
before the first of July next, when, un-
der the law, the volunteers must be
mustered out 1t is the expectation
and hope of the war department that
the coming congress will, at an early
period in it's session, enact legislation
which will enable the department to
replace the present volunteer force by
a permanent force of soldiers. In that
case, such of the men IN the ranks as
care to continue in the service will be
re-enlisted as regulars, and any va
cancies that may exist, through the
muster out of the volunteers will be
supplied by original enlistments in the
United States. 1t is believed that these
enlistments can be made in time to re-
place all the retired Philippine yOlun-
teerS before the first Of the next fiscal
year without causing any hiatus.

Sheriff Middleton, of Kenansville, was

it was ready to start on the parade,
till the matter of taxes could be satis-
factorily arranged. Then there was the
ever vigilant DR.. J. NJ. Faison, mayor
of the town, who was looking after
taxes, good order etc. 1 was informed
that the female dancing in the side
show was rather too rich, rare and
racy' to suit him and others of the
good people of the community and that
he politely informed the manager that
il would have to be discontinued or
some one would soon be in the lock
up. The performance in some respects
is fairly good and is not by, any means
one of the poorest shows in the world.
1t will be in Clinton tomorrow and Wal

WARNINGS TO VESSELS AT SEA
The New Method of Signaling Storms
From Shore.

Washington, November 21-The
weather bureau experiments with sig
nal lights for warning sailor men far
out to sea of impending storms have
been concluded and American lamps
fitted with pressed glass lanterns have
been decided on in preference to the
French makes, which cost five times as
much. A system of these beacon
lamps will be established along the At
lantic coast and great lakes, in addt-
tiOn to the signal service now in opera
tion in many ports. The new method
of signaling from the lofty steel tow
ers will far surpass all that has here
tofore been done. AS each beacon light
will be Visible about twelve miles in
any direction, the lights from one hun
dred of them, which is the proposed
number, would give continuous series
of warnings visible for nearly $500
miles along the seacoaSt.

Head of q Family.

The United States circuit court of ap-
peals for the Fourth circuit convened
in this city yesterday. Present: Cir
cult Judges Golf and Simonton and
District Judge Purnell. Several opin-
ions were handed down, the most in
teresting being that in the case of
Martin H. Richardson, petitioner, VS..
w. F. Woodward, trustee ct al, re-
spondentS.
The case of Richarson VS.. Woodward,
involving the right Of a woman to
claim the homestead exemption, came
up on petition for review from the dis
trict court for the eastern district Of
Virginia. The opinion, by Judge Pur-
nell, was made public at Raleigh in
August, and a full synopsis appeared
exclusively in The Dispatch of August
26th.
The only question presented was,
whether, being a married woman liv-
ing with her husband petitioner is en-
titled to the homestead exemption as
"a householder or head of a family
as provided by the constitution and
laws of Virginia. There are no decis-
ions on the question, and Judge Pur-
nell's opinion is important on that ac-
count.
The sentiment of the court is ex-
pressed in the following paragraphs
from the opinion:
The records Of the courts show that
husbands do not always discharge this,
and many other, duties incumbent
upon them. When he fails in these
moral and legal obligations, when an
intelligent, active, industrious, frugal
woman finds she married a man, who
instead of coming up to the standard
of husband, is a mere dependent, who
acknowledges that he is only a help
mate to his wife, obeys her instruc-
tions, pours his little earnings into her
lap, acknowledges her to be and to
have always been the head of the fam
lily, and leaves to her it's support, il
would be contradictory of fact and an
absurd construction of law to say he,
and not she, is the head of the family,
and deny to her the benefits intended
for the family out of her separate es-
tate, property she has accumulated
because the title is in her and she lives
with her husband. This would seem
to defeat instead of constituting the law
to the end that all the intents thereof
may be fully and perfectly carried
out
The decree of the district court is re-
versed, and the cause remainded that
the claim for homestead exemption
may be Observation-Disclosures Dispatch,
