MIR. B. N. DUKE TO LEAVE DURHAM.
Rumor Has it That He Will Make His Home in
New York
Especial to News and Observe

Durham. ~ c., April 23.-It is rumoTed
that Mr.. Benjamin N Duke, of the Amer
lean Tobacco Company, is to move his res
idence from here to New York sometime
in the near future. Not long since he
purchased a home on Fifth Avenue, New
York Should Mr.. Duke and his good
family move from Durham they will be
sadly missed by all of our people. Mr..
and Mrs Duke were brought up in this
immediate section, and they are very dear
to B large number of Durhamites. Their
generosity and liberahty is felt on all
sides and among all classes and condi-
tions of people.
Mrs. ]. l.. Lewith, has gone to Seattle,
washington. where she will make her
home in the future, with the hope that
her health will be benefited.
Last Friday night there was a fire at
the home of Nathan Snipes, a white man.
who lives at Suits Store, this county.
The kitchen and everything in it went up
in fire and smoke. There was no insur-
ance.
In West Durham last night there was
a meeting of the committee appointed to
secure a home for the public. library. The
committee reported favorably ON the
plans to erect a building and it is thought
that the work will begin soon.
FIGHTING THE TOBACCO TRUST.
Massachusetts, seems to be leading in
a practical way the fight against the
tobacco trust. The House in that State
by vote of ia to s seeks to put it out
of the power of the trust to restrict their
customers to the purchase of their goods
exclusively. The bill was inspired by
the tobacco dealers, and the Louisville
Courier-Journal thus discusses it,
The methods of the trust, as told by
these jobbers are of the most offensive
character. The American and
Continental Tobacco Companies (Which
are virtually one concern) have notified
their customers that they will be al
lowed certain commissions for handling
the trust brands and throwing out all but
two or three brands of independent fac
tories. Should the jobbers refuse to COM
ply with these conditions they can obtain
the Continental and American brands
only by the payment of an extra price,
which would make it impossible to COM
pete with the less scrupulous jobbers,
VINO are willing to become agents of the
trust. This was an extension Of the
! plan of the trust begun a year ago of
!, giving certain jobbers secret rebates and
| permitting them to undersell their COM
petitors who handled independent brands.
1t may be said that the jobber is not
compelled to buy, but this is what the
| offer amounts to in effect. The Conti-
mental and American Tobacco Companies
| while they do not have an absolute mo-
nopoly of the trade, yet do control a ma
| jority of the best-known brands. A stock
| of tobacco being incomplete without their
| goods, the dealer must either join in the
! boycott of the outside manufacturer or
| else become victim of the boycott him.
self. The object of the trust is to drive
| out of business all it's rivals who are
| not willing to act as its agents.

J.P. woLFsON PARDONED.
Convicted Of Embezzlement. Made Good Re-
cord in Spanish American War.
(By the Associated Press J


Washington, April 23-The President
today pardoned Joseph N Wolfson, who
was convicted in 1896 in the United States
District Court of Louisiana of being in
collusion with the door-keeper of the
Union National Bank of New Orleans in
embezzlement of $640, 900 of the funds of
the bank and who was sentenced to eight
years Imprisonment
The case is in many respects re-
markable one and has attracted consider
able attention. Wolfson was a prominent
lawyer in New Orleans before the fail
ure of the bank in 1896 and had been
depositor in the institution for many
years prior to that time. OF the miss
ing funds he was charged with having
obtained 10000. The long legal battle
which today ended in Wolfson's pardon
then began. Wolfson had the aid of pow
erful and influential friends. The case
was appealed to the Circuit Court of APP
peals which affirmed the decision of the
lower court and was then carried to the
Supreme Court on a writ of certiorari.
Meantime Wolfson continued the practice
of his profession in New Orleans until
the breaking out of the Spanish Ameri-
can War. Being then under sentence
with his case still pending in the SUI
preme Court he enlisted in the volunteer
army, with the consent of the Attorney
General and the Secretary of War and
served until February, 1899, when he was
mustered out He then enlisted in the
regulars and went to the Philippines
where he served until October, 1900, when
he was invalided home. In January, of
the present year, the Supreme Court re-
fused the writ of certiorari and Wolfson
applied for executive clemency. He still
has about one year to serve in the regu-
lar army before his term of service ex-
pires. He expects to return to the Phil
ippines Immediately and rejoin his regi-
ment
In recommending the pardon to the
President the Attorney General said:
''He approaches you as suppliant for
pardon. asking that his brave deeds and
shattered health be accepted as atone
ment for the crime OF which he stands
legally convicted. Had Wolfson's name
been untarnished his military services
and devotion to duty at the time of the
Chinese crisis would doubtless have COM
mended him to you for recognition. 1t is
so stated by Major Knights report. II
he has earned honor and advancement
witch it is not seemly to bestow, would
it not be a peculiarly gracious act to re-
move from him so far as you can the
consequences of his offense?'

The Carrie and Annie.

Concerning the interesting little mis-
sionary schooner Carrie and Annie,
which came here from San Francisco
and sailed for Micronesia the other
cay, the Friend, for July, has, among
other things, the following to say:
The Carrie and Annie is to take the
place of Morning Star No. 4, which
was sold. She is a staunch schooner of
ninety tons, having been built In Es-
sex, Mass, of seasoned oiled oak for
the Gloucester trade. She was intend
ed for a fishing boat to be sent to the
Georges"
These Gloucester boats are the finest
sea boats Of their kind. They sail In
rough water and at stormy seasons.
They are built for speed as well as
strength. so that they can bring their
catch quickly to port and put 1t on the
market; hence, the Carrie is fine
sailer, and finds no trouble, as did the
Morning Star, in working to the wind
ward.
Apropos the sailing qualities of the
Gloucester boats, we recall the story
which Gloucester fisherman told us
years ago. They were fishing In winter
time. in landlocked bay where there
was no port, when a stout northeaster
came down upon them, with snow and
sleet. They could not ride at anchor
and their only hope of escape from the
rocks and breakers of the lee shore
was in making to the windward and
clearing the headland of the bay, which
reached out like a great horn to cut
OF their retreat and impale them. The
seriousness of their position was
greatly enhanced by the dropping of
the mercury below the freezing point.
Every wave that dashed upon them
in the storm left it's coating Of ice.
Thus their boat was greatly impeded
In its progress through the raging wa
tiers. The matches We're battened down

Holiday on the Front.

1t is not likely that there viii be
much doing on the waterfront today.
Should the transport Hancock arrive
from the Coast she will serve to relieve
the idleness of the holiday and, at the
same time, her troops will add to the
celebration of the glorious Fourth.
No regular mail steamships are due
and no Island steamers will make their
departure. There is a possibility of the
cruiser Philadelphia getting away for
Page Pago in the evening, although it
Is thought that she will wait until to-
morrow before sailing.
AT noon the guns of the cruiser will
give a national salute and the guns on
the Naval wharf will also give tongue.
Acting Governor Cooper visited
aboard the Philadelphia yesterday aft
ernoon. AS he left the vessel he was
sa.luted by the customary Governors
salute of seventeen guns. This is the
first time that a man-of-war has ever
saluted while lying alongside a wharf
in this harbor. The Aorangi was just
coming up to the Pacific Mail wharf
when the Philadelphia guns spoke.
There was large crowd watching the
Aorangi, and. when they heard the first
g1ln, there was a rush in the direction
Of the Navy wharf The crowd was Gu
rious to see what was occurring
