wHrsKEY QUESTION IN HICKORY.
The Mayor and Aldermen to Appear Before
Judge Council Today.
lStaff Correspondence.l


Hickory, N. c., June 21.-The following
is clipped from Hickory paper:
Deputy Sheriff ID. E. Hawn served a
summons on Mayor M. H. Yount and
Aldermen r. K Harris, j. S. Propst, f..
B. Ingold, B. r. Campbell, G. N. Hutton
ana S. l.. Whtener to appear before his
honor Judge W. B. Council in Chambers
at Newton Saturday, June 22nd, at ten
o'clock a. M, to answer the complaint of
Frank Loughran against City of Hickory
for refusing to grant said applicant Ii
cense to sell liquor in Hickory
The history of this is as follows: At
the regular town election in May ma
jority of tho votes were cast in favor of
issuing license to barrooms in Hickory.
Hickory is now dry town. The board
of aldermen, however, believing that the
best interest of the town demanded that
it should be kept dry, refused to give any
license. So the mayor and aldermen have
been summoned to appear before Judge
Council next Saturday to show cause why
they do not issue the license.
1t will be very interesting case both
from legal standpoint and also to the
citizens of Hickory, who are personally
interested in the. outcome.

Especial to News and Observer.

(SpeeIaI to News and observer
Knston N. c., June 21.-Mr Buck Buff
falo, a brick mason, was painfully hurt
this morning by falling from the second
story of Mr.. w. A. LaRoques' new brick
store, upon the walls of which he was at
work. Mr.. Buffalo was leaning out fin
ishing up some joints on the outside OF
the wall when the wall gave way, precipi-
tating him and about 5000 brick to the
sidewalk below, a. distance of about TWEEN
ty feet. His injuries are not serious
1t is likely that Prof. W. H. Rhodes.
who was in Kinston recently looking over
the situation with a view to establishing
a military school here, will be success
full in the establishment of the school. A
meeting of the citizens interested was
held in the town hall tonight, when the
matter was discussed. Up to this writ
ing the final decision has not been made.
The trial of Mr.. McLawhorn for as
saulting Claude M. Bernard came off yes.
terday at Ayden before justice Of the
peace. Attorney Moore, of Greenville, ap-
peared for the prosecution and Mr.. Nc
Lawhorn pleaded for himself. After a
few passages at arms with the attor-
ney Mr. McLawhorn made his plea which
was about as follows: 81 whipped Ber

as possible"
Mr.. Moore had stated that he had some
papers to place in evidence, to which Nc
Lawhorn replied: 81. too, have some pa
pers to present to the court" No papers
were produced.
The magistrate imposed a fine of $50
and costs or thirty days in Jail for Nc
Hawthorn. The citizens came forward
promptly and asked that S. of the fine be
RENTED and they would settle.
This was done and the matter promptly
settled McLawhorn's friends remarking
that they would have paid it II 1T had
been a hundred dollars.

Historic Trees.

From the Worcester Gazette. = -st-a'
AS landmarks of history many trees
have been profoundly revered. One of the
oldest inhabitants of the earth. according
to Humboldt, is the Dragon tree at Orota-
via, in the Island of Taneriffe; its age is
estimated at 5000 years. 1t was seventy
nine feet at the base when the great natu-
ralist measured It. There are the bOObobs
OF Africa, computed to be 5000 years old.
The cedars Of Mount Lebanon are vari-
ously estimated from 1900 to 5000 years
old. There are eight olive trees on the
Mount of Olives that stood when the Turks
conquered Jerusalem In 1000. The sweet
chestnut trees on the slopes OF Mount
Aetna date from she early centuries of this
era. Some trees in our own country have
been famous. the Charter oak of Hartford.
Conn; the great elm In Cambridge, Mass.
under which Washington took command of
the army; the treaty elm under which
William Penn signed the famous treaty
with the Indians in 1852; the Old elm of
Boston Common; traditions and superstt-
tfons have clustered about these wonder
ful old landmarks and have made them
muteIy eloquent Of times and events long
ago important. In England today there
are oaks standing that knew the ground
and races long before the Romans con-
qCered It, We unconsciously lift our hat
to these venerable trees that have lived
through the centuries. Could they talk and
tell all what a history they would relate.
What thrilling little episodes What chap
ters OF enchantment for the novelist.

Women of Japan.


Perhaps in nothing else has Japan shown
herself so keenly in touch with modern
progress as in the frank and complete
adoption of western ideas in respect to the
education of women. Confucianism, like
most religions, placed women below men in
every respect. The Japanese. a practi-
cal and common-sense people. have out
grown this idea, and are seeking to rein-
state woman In her proper position. They
understand that the best way TO accom-
pIish this is through an education that will
be equal to the education of the men of the
empire. The most positive step taken in
this direction Is the recent opening of
womans college in Toxic. The Institution
began it's career with 500 students. There
were present on the occasion Prince Ko-
noye, members of the imperial cabinet and
a number of the most prominent officials
of the government. In a magnificent ad-
dress, revealing his broad-miudedless and
liberal views, Count Okurua paid a high
tribute to the intellectual capacity of the
japanese women. He declared that the
opening of the college was a significant
step in the true and best development of
woman. and that the movement thus be-
gun should continue until Japanese women
have every advantage of education and
proper opportunities that have hitherto
been conferred only upon the opposite sex.

EXPENSES OF AN AMBASSADOR.
Sixty Thousand Year Required mt
European Capitals.

From the Woman's Home Companion.
Unlike other governments, ours makes no
extra allowances for the living expenses OF
its representatives. Thus it is that many
times an important foreign mission has
been declined-for financial reasons-by the
able statesman to whom it was proffered.
II one accepts such a post he naturally
feels In duty bound to live up to the
standard set by his predecessors, and this
usually means that he must have large
private fortune to draw upon. There have
been a few instances where such positions
have been held by men unable to maintain
great establishments, but who have un-
wisely attempted 1t by mourning obliga-
tions which they could not meet. thus
to humiliation Diplomatic agents are
without the pale of the common law of
the countries where they are stationed. and
il bills are left unpaid creditors have abso-
lutely no recourse.
There is a large financial advantage to
diplomat if he Is bachelor, for 1t is then
understood that he has no special obliga-
tions in a social way. If he be personally
popular he will be overwhelmed with invi-
tations, but need never use any In return
except to such small parties of friends as
he may care to entertain In his chambers
or at a restaurant. The most of the diplo-
matte corps, however, are married men,
for their governments know that upon the
social administration by the mistress of
the household depends in no small part the
success of the official side Of the residency
A diplomatic residence in any of the
larger European capitals may easily mean
an annual expenditure of from $40 900 to
$4,000. Only rich men are therefore eligi-
BILE for these posts. and thus false stand
ard of wealth is being raised as test for
diplomatic preferment It is likely that
before long our government will lease and
furnish. permanent houses for it's ambassa-
dors and ministers in the principal foreign
countries, and this will go long way
toward correcting a grave fault in the
present system. Our ambassador to st.
Petersburg had to do house hunting for
six months, and was almost in despair of
finding a suitable residence. As it is he
pays more in rates than even the am
bassador in London, and it is said the
rental is more than 81, 600 a month

Life ON the Rock of Gibraltar.

From the Ledger Monthly.
The incoming steamer anchors in the
bay half mile from Shore passengers are
taken off in boats, and before entering the
city they pass a rigid inspection by the
police who ask number of pertinent and
impertinent questions. The name nation
ality, occupation and mission of the strang-
er in Gibraltar are entered in book; he
receives a card which entities him to the
hospitality of the rock for twenty-four
hours. II he desires to stay longer bond
of $50~for good behavior will secure him
immunity from molestation for not more
than thirty to sixty days. This permission
however. can, with the proper kind of in
f1uence, be renewed many times.
The town Is quaint, picturesque and
quiet. with it's $4,000 people. mostly En-
glish and Spanish, though the number of
different nationalities represented makes
it one of the most cosmopolitan places in

ly built and irritatingly narrow streets Of
the town. The garrison numbers about
6,O00 persons. making the population of the
rock about 5000. The soldiers are for
the most part regulars brought home from
foreign service for rest and recuperation
The governor of the rock lives in the gov
ernment house. formerly an old convent
Everything Is done by military rule; the
hours of the day are announced by gun
fire. the morning gun followed by the bu-
gle reveille wakens the Inhabitants from
their slumbers, and the bugle blast that
follows the evening gun, telling the sol
diers to turn in, has become a signal for
the civilians to go home and go to bed. The
average daily number entering the gar
rison for the purpose of trading and of
bringing In supplies is $4,000. the great
proportion Of these daily visitors being
Spaniards.
The town contains forty-two schools and
three good libraries The dwellings are
small. nl-ventilated, badly drained and not
over-clean. They are very crowded, as
1900 people live In one square mile of low
houses. There are no springs of pure
water. the great dependence being on rain
water collected In cisterns or on water
brought from the mainland and sold by
peddlers Prices are high. almost as high
as the Sugar LOAF. the peak OF the rock.
