The Seaside Bakery.

There were six boys and girls gath
cred on the beach one bright morn
ing.
What shall we do?" said Bobby
White. my mother says l can't wade
because went in too far last night. %
Lets make sand pies" said Gladys,
who was always ready with something,
its lots of fun if we have done it be-
fore"
"All right" chorused Bobby, Mabel,
Dorry, Phil and Ted; so they set to
work.
The sand was baked hard and dry
from the July sun, so no board was
needed on which to turn the pies when
they were done.
But small difficulty arose.
How can we make any other kinds
except the brown bread loaves our
beach pals make?" queried Phil.
No one knew. The girls and bow, had
no other utensils, but certainly brown
bread must not be the only article for
sale.
You wait minute" said Gladys,
wisely, II don'o board at the hotel, as
the rest of you do, and I'll run up to
my house and bring down some of
mammals baking tins
She ran off, and soon returned with
her hands full of bright tins.
Here are mammals doughnut cut
ter, little crinkled tin, and a tin in
the shape of man. Now, let's go to
work"
Gladys, as the originator of the plan,
was at the head of the bakery.
The doughnuts came out to a T.
when the dry sand was mixed with
little damp.

About Quinins
From the New York Pres.

(From the New York Press.)
The druggist on the next corne
charges 10 cents for a dozen two-grain
capsules of quinine. The one in the
middle of the block charges Z cents.
Both are "cut rate" houses. Now, let's
see: An ounce of q~uinine costs the
dealer 81 cents. Each ounce contains
$50 grains, sufficient for 240 two grain
capsules. or twenty dozen, sold over
the counter for s1.4o to 81. Capsules
cost 20 cents a pound. and there are
enough in a pound to contain many
ounces Of quinine. The quinine the
druggist sells for 5: costs him (cap-
sules included) 80 cents. He is max
ing, therefore, a profit of over 500 per
cent. on what is actually a household
necessity.
1t is no exaggeration to say that qui-
nine is a staple. In numerous locali-
ties it is eaten as regularly as food.
Men and women pour it into the palm
of the hand and toss it DOWN their
threats. Ohio and Florida-my! my!
The government might regulate the
price, as the English government does
in India. where quinine is more neces-
sary than meat. Quinine is sold al
every rural postoffce in India at the
rate of five grains for a %farthing. That
is ten grains for q cent, or As cents ar
ounce retail. In Bengal alone LAO 0t
five grain packets are sold annually
The government used to import $3.50, 00t
worth of quinine every year. bur Lieu.
tenant Colonel King, superintendent Of
the Royal Botanic Gardens in Calcutta
has introduced it's cultivation in India
and there are now 1000, 900 trees il

Washington. December 10.-Mrs. Ada
Gilbert Dennis, a fashionable dress
maker was found in an almost dying
condition in her room at 5 o'clock this
morning. under circumstances that
promise to rival the Bonine murder
case. Her skull was fractured, jaw
bone broke and left ear almost severed
from her head Her left arm bore
bruises indicative of a struggle. and her
clothing and bedding were saturated
with blood. She was removed TO the
Garfield hospital and a large force of
detectives put on the case. The name
of her assailant is unknown.
The general belief is that Mrs. Den
mis- was attacked while asleep in her
back room on the first floor, and that
the first blow. in all probability, ad-
ministered with the piano stool, which
was smeared with blood, rendered her
unconscious.
The preliminary Investigations by the
police fail to indicate that there was
any struggle.
Mrs. Dennis, in a conscious moment
while being carried to the hospital. said
that someone had hurt" her, but when
pressed for details merely responded.
Never mind" Robbery apparently
was not the motive for the crime. as on
the table, at the foot of the bed, in plain
view, was a small box containing a
pocket-book well filled with greenbacks
and other money. There was a bloody
imprint of a hand OIL the piano lid in
the parlor and a window in that room
was open. 1t is supposed the assailant
escaped through this window.
When found, Mrs. Dennis was clad
in her night garments and was in bed
under the over. She was partly con-
scious, although she has been uncon-
scious most of the time since.
The detectives said that several blows
of the piano stool must have been
welded with considerable force and
that there was no outCry, at least af-
ter the first blow. Her groans, however
were heard by a woman or the third
floor and in the adjoining house. About
the same time policeman Livingston
and a Waterman who were two blocks
away, heard what they believed to a
woman's scream.
Mrs. Dennis is about AZ years old and
is une of the best known women in
business here. She is the widow OF
Walter Dennis, an actor.

The Young Man Who was Arrested
mt Wilson on suspicion that the
Girl with Him was Nellie

DR.. Joe Williams. alias DR.. K Dur
ham alias Dr.. Calburn. the young man
who was arrested last week at Wilson
on suspicion OF having with him Nellie
Cropsey, h girl whose mysterious dis
appearance from Elizabeth City. ~. c.,
has created a sensation throughout the
United States. turns out to be a bad
egg. II turns out that the girl with
MIN was not Miss Cropsey. but her case
may be quite as sad.
The ccount OF the arrest Of the man
with the three horses was notified in
the papers by Mr.. J.. A Butts, proprie-
TOT Of a livery stable at Wadley. Jeffer-
son county. Ga. and from the descrip-
ton and other Circumstances he came to
the conclusion that the young man was
the n who stole a horse and buggy
from him last August. He went on to
wilson and sure enough DR.. Williams
was the man he was looking for.
Mr.. Butts found out from him that he
had sold the horse and buggy to a Mr..
Sidberry, at Edgecombe, a station on
the Wilmington and Weldon railroad.
and yesterday Mr.. Butts came to Will
mington and went on to Edgecombe to
recover his property.
Mr.. Butts says the man with so many
names is charged with stealing three
horses in Georgia, and not only that he
stole a pretty yound girl seventeen
years Of age. He stopped at the home
OF the young iady's father to stay all
night and it was a case Of love at first
sight. The girl became infatuated with
the young doctor CD and she would
hear to nothing but marriage. The doc
tor old the girls brothers hat he was
wealthy and that he had 81, 600 in his
trunk. After he left with their pretty
sister the brothers broke open the trunk
and oundi in it a lot of old rocks, supen-
ders M other trash.
DR.. Williams, alias DR.. Calhoun, alias
DR.. Durham is still in Jail at Wilson
and the Governor Of Georgia has issued
a requisition on h governor of North
Carolina for him.

No. >. were present to confer with the
directors about the school census
They were dissatisfied with the result
of the special census, saying that il
was not correctly AIKEN. 1t is probable
that another special census of schoo
children will be ordered.
On motion of Mr.. MacRae the city o.
| Wilmington was called on for the fine.
and penalties that have been collected
| by the municipal court for the past few
years. The fines and penalties are real
ly due, under the state law. for tn
past 20 years but only those of thu
past three years are called for. Ever
this will be quite a good amount. TIL
CITY is asked to come to time by Far
uary 3rd.
The necessity of another school build
ing for Wilmington was discussed. TIL
number of children has so largely in
creased that the present schools viii
not accommodate them. 1t is quit
probable that a new building Will b
erected this summer.
After ~transacting the routine bust
ness the directors adjourned.
