WILL OPEN INSURANCE OFFICE.
DR.. Blasingame Has Accepted Position With
Mutual Life Company.

DR.. Jas. c. Blasingame, President OF
the Baptist Female University, has ac-
copied the position of Superintendent of
Agencies of North Carolina for the
Mutual Life Insurance Company of New
York
This is q splendid position and one
which is rarely offered to q man without
practical experience as an insurance man.
1t is, however, just recognition of DR..
Blasingame's ability as business man
and no doubt he will prove as brilliant
success in his new field as he has in edu-
cational work.
When questioned by News and OBJ
server reporter yesterday, DR.. Blasingame
said, Eyes, after long and careful con-
sideration Of good offers from several
companies and painstaking investigation
of their merits, / decided to accept the
offer from the Mutual Life Of New York
Life insurance is one of the finest fields
open to the business man, and many OF
our best men are going into it. Only
last week General John B. Gordon
signed a contract with a large life insur-
ance company and will devote all his
time to it, except the short time en-
gagged in his lecture tour"
Dr.. Blasingame will open an office on
June 18th in the Marlboro House, next to
the one now occupied by the Seaboard
Air Line officials. 1t is his purpose to
make systematic organization of the
work in this State.

the Indebtedness and that plaintiff would
prmit the ordering of an equal amount or
goods with remittance sent and there
is also stipulation that plaintiff could
extend time of payment to the principal
debtor without notice to the surety But
there was in fact no extension Of time
The surety contends however that he
was released because the payments of ten
per cent per week were not made ana
new goods were shipped exceeding the
amount of the rmittances: Held that the
weekly payment was not the fault
Of plaintiff, and that defendant cannot
plead q release by his wrong. Nor was
he released after a dissolution of the
partnership. The jury here find that the
payments were to go upon the firm debt.
and that the amount of balance due was
not released by the action of the plain
tiff. In truth the plaintiff, rather than
the defendant, has cause to complain in
this case.

Several Changes to Be Made For the

James O'Nei1 uses the Fechter version
of Monte Cristo, and this Will serve IN
the big revival of the noted romantic
melodrama which is TO be put on at
the Academy in New York next Autumn,
after a preliminary engagement in BoS-
ton.
But Mr.. O'Neill announces that sew
eral changes are to be made in the
dramatization, all designed to improve
it in the constructive sense and add to
its dramatic strength Mercedes, for in
stance, Will not be found as another
mans wife by Edmond DanteS when
he returns with the fabulous wealth OF
his island
Then, too, there will be changes and
improvements in the scenic arrange
ments and a wonderful panoramic ap-
paratus is to lend effect to the escape
and natatorial exploit of Edmond af-
ter the Chateau diff episode Here, too,
will he not only reach his rock and pro-
claim the world TO be his but q pirate
lugger will perceive, bear down upon
and rescue him
A fine company is to support Mr.
O'Neill, with Frederic de Belleville in
his old part of Noirtier. and there is ev-
cry reason to expect that Monte Cristo
in its new guise will enjoy new lease
of life

COULDN'T APPRECIATE HIM.
Maclyn Arbuckle's @Darky" Stories
Were Failures in England.

When Maclyn Arbuckle was playing
Smith in Why Smith Left Home at
the Strand theater in London, he was
put up at the Savage club, and be-
came popular because of his engaging
personality and aptness as an enter
tainer. He is very clever in telling
'darky" stories. One evening, after the
performance, surrounded by a party of
Englishmen, he related the following:
There is a tradition in Texas that if
a mule kicks a darby in the head the
animal will go lame A colored boy,
walking along a road one morning, met
a little colOred girl with her feet wrap
ped up in immense bandages of gunny
saeking. She was limping painfully.
"Wha' de mattah wifi 20 feet, Sukey?''
asked the boy.
.'Fader done hit me on de hade wild

the response.

wearing a snuff-colOred frock coat and

wrote to the chief of police about it,"
