We were lounging around a large
table in the east sample room of the
Palace Hotel, which now is one of
the SWEETEST in the city. 1t was
after business hours, and Dick Blume
had started in on one of his long-wind-
ed stories. Dick had been running out
from Chicago with a lire OF shoes
before the Oldest drummer among us
had learned his A. B. C.'s, and his rec
ord for yarns was a. world beater.
"I1l tell you he's her second hus-
band and No. l is alive and flourish
ing back in the East" he was saying.
I'm the only man this side of the Mis-
sissippi besides his 'nibs' that's now
got her, who knows the true in~wardness
of the affair"
Blume was speaking of the pretty
landlady of the Palace" to whom we
all had been making our politest
speeches for a year past We allowed
him to continue uninterrupted.

as we used to say then, and in a little
shack on this very spot they kept a

Well, in some way she took a sort of
liking to me and used to tell me her
troubles when the cook would quit on
five minutes notice OR if any of the
boys got sick; for, young as she was,
she was a regular mother to us all.
Things seemed to be going pretty
smooth, for although she and Bacchus
didn't seem to exactly hitch, they
never had any words. He was a soft

and clean daffy with inconsistencies for

one in that line, all l wish is to invite
attention to gross mistatements OF facts
in regard to previous weather contained
in that article. The following paragraph
is absolutely untrue word for word:
THE cold summer of 1889 was fol-
lowed by frost which killed the cotton
crop on September 2Sth. Then in Novem-
Der and early December the ground stood
frozen night and day longer than it had

Der 2Sth was very light, minimum tenn
perature at Raleigh AZ degrees; a heavier
frost occurred October 9th, but even <nat
did not kill all the cotton as the mini
mum temperature at Raleigh was only 81
degrees. The total number of times the
minimum temperature at Raleigh was be-
low freezing (32 degrees) during the fall
of 1899 was 5, as compared with IL times
in 1888, and IS times in 1887. In fact
the whole fall and winter of 1SS9-1S90
was extremely warm, and the colder
weather in March merely brought down
the temperature in that month to ex-
actly normal. give the records of mean
and normal temperatures for the entire
area of North Carolina:
Normals-October, 50 degrees; Novem-
Der 40 degrees; December AZ degrees;
January, 40 degrees; February, 49 de-

Records for 1889 '90-October, 81 de-
grees; November, 50 degrees; December,
So degrees; January, so degrees; Febru
ary, SO degrees; March As degrees.
The records at this office show that
every fall in North Carolina, from 1872 to
1888. was colder than the fall of 1889,
how then could the ground have stood
frozen night and day longer than it had
at any season for fifty years? The other
statements in regard to past weather are
equally wrong. The officials Of the
weather Bureau do not pretend to be able
to forecast the character of the coming
winter, but are very much concerned in
having correct weather data placed be-
fore the public.

looking him steadily in the eye, did not

putting an end to all further proceedings.

bearing upon the case of the south

stated it was doubtful whether they
were entitled to seats. upon the floor OF
the Senate at this <time. He thought
the Committee on Privileges and E,lec-

Mr. Tillman said he was glad that his
own legal instinct had been backed up
by such an eminent authority as the
chairman of the Judiciary Committee
If his colleague would prepare any docu-
ment that would vacate his seat as we'll

people on the floor, he said in conclu-
son,. he proposed to represent them hon

disgrace to his State. Mr.. Lodge at
this point arose and announced with
smile on his face that while the resigna-

Gen. T. F. Toon, the Superintendent of
Public Instruction, is desperately i'll with
pneumonia.
All day Sunday and yesterday the sick
State official was fighting for life and
this morning at one o'clock his physicians
announced that there was no change.
Governor Aycock had made arrange

road, but the critical condition of Gen.
Toon caused him to change his plans,
and he remained. The news of the Sc

ton of the Superintendent of Public IN
struction was learned with genuine regret
in this city.
If Gen. Toon can pull through today and
tomorrow the chances will be in his favor.

have had fears for as to his condition.
Gen. Toon contracted pneumonia While

wilhelmina's Case Draws Attention to Other
Royalties Who Find No Joy in Wedlock.
(By the Associated Press.


London, Dec. THE domestic infelici-
ties of European royalties have never
come so prominently before the public
as have today the difficulties of Queen
Wilhelmina of the Netherlands. the
dramatic circumstances of which form
one of the chief topics of conversation.
The romantic halo surrounding the
young queen and the keen interest taken
in her marriage only helped to accentuate
public curiosity and sympathy. More
over, it is realized that Hollands scan
dial may have grave political conse-
quences for Europe and hence it's de-
velopments are followed closely by
statesmen. While those best fitted to
judge incline to the belief that it will
all blow over for the present, there are
grave apprehensions for the future.
From a personal point of view Eng
land is more deeply concerned in the
scandal going on in Hesse, where one of
Queen Victoria's grand-d daughters is one
the verge of separation from her hus-
band. This youthful marriage-thc
Grand Duchess of Hesse was only IS
when she exchanged her British for a
continental title-has proved to be one
of the most unsatisfactory among all
the royal matches, and the climax, it is
believed. would have been reached ere
this, had it not been for the late Queen
Victoria's imperious influence. The
Duke of Edinburg's other daughter, the
Crown Princess of Roumania, according
to common report, also leads none
too happy marital existence, though re-
cent rumors Of an open rupture are met
with strenuous official denial. However.
no one in England would be surprised to
hear that she is in figuring role similar
to that of her sister, the Grand Duchess
CT Hesse.
