LITERARY FOLKS
ENTERTAlNM ENT

A large and fashionable audience as
sembled Saturday afternoon in the
rooms of the Kilohana Art League in
| the Model block for the third entertain
| ment in the series of literary AT
Homes" to be given by that club. The
rooms were charmingly decorated with
emblems of the South as an appro-
pirate setting to the subject of the
| afternoon, which was the life and
works of Sidney Lanier; lecturer, Mrs.
w. B. Frear.
! The lecture was prefaced by selec-
| ton from Beethoven for the violin, by
Miss King, with piano accompaniment
| by Miss. Castle. The number was a
gem. A good accompaniment is rare.
Miss Castles charming and sympa-
| thetic accompaniment was a thing of
beauty
| Mrs. Frear, in a simple and trans
parent manner, gave lecture made up
of a biographical sketch OF Sidney
Lanier with a review of his poems.
Mention was also made of the essays
| and valuable criticisms which consti-
1 tute his prose works. 1t is Max Muller
who says THAT mans religious con-
victions and sentiments are the most
delicate of human themes" Mr.. Lam
iers prose develops the cleverness of
! the intellectual, and mis- poetry
breathes the higher atmosphere of
Love" To humanity and God.
| Mrs. Frear was abetted by a warm
admiration for the poetry of her au-
thor, and developed her convictions
with grace, courage and evident SYM
pathy. The review was interspersed
with readings from the author, and
verses of the poet set to music, sung
by Mr.. Walter F. Dillingham;, and MIR.
Isaac Dillingham;. The songs were Civ
en- in an altogether free and agreeable
manner, marked by the charm in each
/ case, of fresh, rich voices.
/ At the conclusion of the lecture, TEA
was served. and the works of the au-
thor informally discussed over the
teacups." At late hour the members
| dispersed, having enjoyed the refresh
Ling of a delightful and profitable after
| noon.
Miss Charlotte Hall had charge of
| the serving of the refreshments. and
was ably assisted by Mrs. T. r. Wal
| ker, Mrs. George Davies, Mrs. James

ORINOCO DELTA tlAVIGABLE.
Most Important Highway Between Bo.

Most Important Highway Between Bo-
 gotta and European Ports.
 A dispatch from Caracas says Vene- zuela has declared all the mouths of the Orinoco delta open to international navigation. About 50 arms of the river flow directly seaWard, but only seven of them are accessible to large vessels. The delta branch which is most frequented by steamers is the Macareo, which flows to the coast op- posite the island of Trinidad, and of fers direct inland navigation from Ciudad Bolivar, far up the Orinoco, to Port of Spain, the flourishing port of Trinidad. The most important branch of the upper Orinoco is the Meta river, which rises on the eastern slope of the lofty plateau on which Bogota stands and is navigable for most of it's course by vessels drawing several feet of water. It presents, with the Orinoco, the shortest route between the great central plateau of Colombia and the Atlantic se.board In other words, it helps to make a navigable waterway from the Andes to Europe and is re- garded as the great coming highway between Bogota and European ports. Among the Orinoco delta streams ara the rich lanG5 conceded by the Vene- Zuelan government to the Orinoce company, limited, an American con- cern whose concession, according to reports from Caracas, has been revok- ed on account of it's alleged failure to fulfill it's contract Some towns in the delta appear to have a fiourishing future Among them is Santa Cata- lima, where the Orinoco company has it's headquarters, and whence it ship ped good deal of balata, now used as a substitute for rubber Maj. Stanley made an extensive journey up the Orinoco valley, says this valley will some day develop into one of the richest commercial regions of the west ern world. Countless herds of cattle and horses may be raised there. The forests yield large quantities of nat ural products. such as rubber, quinine and other d~ugs, and some traces of gold and other metals have been dis covered. It remains to be seen how far the act of the Venezuelan govern ment in making the Orinoco more ac- cessible to u e ships of all nations will facilitate the development of this great valley.

Length or Flatness Helps Palmst to
 Read Character.

Read Character.
 According to European palmist the average length of the thumb nail is. in the case of a man, 165 millimetreS, and those men whose nails are longer than this always possess unusual viril- ity. Women, on the other hand, whose thumb nails are of abnormal length are as rule very fond of pleasure and have pronounced artistic tastes. Emperor William of Germany, says this palmist, has very delicate hand, yet the thumb is too short and the nail is flat and colorless-a sure indication, in his opinion, of some cerebral weak ness. The Emperor of Austria, on the other hand, has a thumb nail which in- dicates high birth and arstocratic tastes. It is pearly white and unusual ly curved, and is in marked contrast 10 his hand, which is coarse and rather vulgar. The new King of Italy has spatulate thumb nail, which is said tG be an indication of distrUst and feroe- ity. The S4ltan of Turkeys hand is white and slender and bears tokens of high breeding. King Leopold of Bel giun has the thumb of a plebeian, the nail being short and square Queen Victoria differs from all other rulers in the fact that the thumbs Of her two hands are quite unlike each other. This is said to be an unfailing indica- tion of shrewdncss and also of long life The young Queen Of Holland has a strong but r!the. commonplace hand, the nails being short and of vulgar type, but, on the other hand the Queen of Italy has an admirable hand, the only marked defect being in the nails of the little fingers which are some what too conieal and too much curved at ths ends

Fruit Juice Like Gutta Percha

Fruit has been found in Zanzibar, East Africa, whose juice yields q sub stance closely resembling gutta percha. The fruit looks like peach, but is as large as cantaloupe It is unfit for food and it was learned by accident that the milky juice would coagulate in boiling water and would harden on cooling into any shape de- sired. Tests are being made with this substance in London to see if it can be used as substitute for gutta percha, the supply of which is grow ing scarce though the demand is iA- creasing.

ALL DESPA7CHERS
MAY Be MOVED HERE
Some Rumored Changes on
the Seaboard.
ANEW GFNFRAI MANAGER
ANEW GEN ERAL MANAGER
A Strong Believer In Consolidation of
His Forces.
HIS RECORD ON NORFOLK AND WESTERN
A Proposed Arrangement That Would Suit the
People Of Raleigh Mighty Well. The
Office at Hamlet May be
abandoned.

Seaboard employees are now indulging
in considerable speculation in regard to
what changes will be made by the new
president and general manager, Mr..
Barr, when he takes charge of the roads
affairs on; May 1st.
that Mr.. Barr is a railroad man of the
strenuous variety-progressive, vigorous
and untiring. AS he is, so he wants his
subordinates. Again he is a great be-
lever in consolidation and, as everybody
knows, he was chosen because 1T was
believed that he could maintain the pres
ent excellent service of the road and at
the same time reduce its operating expen-
SeS.
Reasoning from this premises and in
the light of what his policy has been
on other roads, notably the Norfolk and
Western, the knowing ones are predict
ing that one of the first acts of Mr. Barr
will be a reduction in the number of
division superintendent and the consol-
idation of all the dispatchers Offices
If this is done, Raleigh being the most
central point for the road between Rich
mond and Columbia, the despatcher's Of
fees at Richmond, Portsmouth, Norlina
and Hamlet will probably be moved here.
Such an arrangement would certainly be
most satisfactory to the people of Raj
eigh.
Of course all this, so far, is only specu-
lation but it is speculation based on good
reasons. Such an arrangement would
certainly lessen the number of men
needed and be much less expensive than
the maintenance of five separate and dis
tinct office; besides, it is said, the des
patcher's service, thus conducted, would
be much more satisfactory than under the
present arrangement. And again. it is
well known that Mr. Barr used this plan
with highly satisfactory results on the
Norfolk and Western, consolidating four
despatcher's offices at Roanoke and abol-
ishing two division superintendent.
At one time, under Mr.. st. Johns adj
ministration, it was ordered that the des-
patchers and other officials here be
moved to Hamlet and a building was
erected there for the purpose, but that
plan seems now to have about been aban-
doned Some of the men who actually
moved there have already been sent back
here.
At any rate the pulse of Seaboard Off
GERS and employees does not move any
slower as the first of May and the new
general manager draws nearer.
