DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORMS.

News and Observer: Goldsboro, N i.
G, May Sore of the most destruc-
<ive hail storms that has visited this
section in years swept over the north
eastern part Of this county yesterday
afternoon. It carried destruction to
the crops. County Treasurer Parks,
who came in to day, said some of the
stones were larger than partridge eggs.
He said that in some places the hail
was six inches deep, while in others it
was from three to four inches On
account of the early season the loss
will not be so disastrous as it otherwise
would be. The bail fell so rapidly
and With so much force that quite a
number of hogs, geese and other live
stock we're killed.
Wilson, N, c., May 9.-The damage
to the crops of Wilson county by the
cloudburst and hail storm here this
evening cannot now be estimated.
Farmers report their crops almost a
total wreck. Young tobacco and cot
ton haye been the principal sufferers
In most cases these crops will have to
be replanted entirely. The tobacco
plant beds have also suffered quite a
little. This will shorten the plant
supply and in many cases will cut short
a tobacco crop for the present season.
In Wilson the water stood ponded in
tue streets foot Deep The sewerage
system was inadequate to accommodate
the torrents of water which fell.

Rules of Health.

Who is that sad, disconsolate-looking

He is a man who has made study of

Whose rules of health?
Everybody rules of health. That's the
trouble with him. He has been trying to
live up to them.
What does he do?
Everything that he is told to do and
when he isn't doing anything else he wor-
ries because the rules are SO conflicting.
And is it undermining his health?
Sure. 1t would undermine anyone

What are some of the rules?
Well, here are two of them: Eat only
a light breakfast" and Breakfast should
be the best meal of the day.
What are some others?
Run or walk two miles before break
fast" and Never attempt to do anything
on an empty stomach"
ANY more?

A sHIPyARD COMBINATION.

There appears to be foundation for the
report, which has been circulated for sew
eral days, that at least four of the lead
ing shipyaFds of the country are to be
consolidated. In our dispatches yester-
day it was stated that Rear Admiral
Bowles had been offered a salary of $780,
900 year to manage the consolidation.
lie is now connected with the construc-
ton bureau of the navy department, and
is. doubtless. a naval constructor Of first
class ability and an excellent business
man, or he would not be offered the po-
sition. According to the reports the ship
yards which will be consolidated will
have an understanding with the other
shipyards, so that all of them will work
in harmony.
The leader of this movement to con-
solidate shipyards says that 1t is not the
purpose to form a trust for putting UP
prices, but simply to enter into an ar
rangement by which the plants can be
worked to better advantage If 1t were
the purpose to destroy competition the
fact wouldn't be made public.
passage of a ship-subsidy bill they are
making a mistake in consolidating their
interests or in making any combination
that looks like a trust. Last winter,
when the ship-subsldy bill was being con-
stdered by the Senate, it was stated by
those who were supporting the bill that
it was practically impossible to build
ships in this country as cheapiy as they
can be built in the shipyards of England
and Germany. The arguments which
they advanced to sustain this statement
did not seem to be conclusive, however.
AS matter of fact all of the shpyards
seem to have all the work they can do.
1t may be that they are engaged in the
construction of ships that are to be en-
ployed i'm the coasting trade, and there
fore get bigger prices for them than
ships, just as good and in every other
respect just as satisfactory, built in for
elgn shipyards command. But it does
seem remarkable that while our manufac-
turers of steel and our builders of loco
motives are sending their products to all
of the markets of the world our ship
builders complain that they cannot COM
pete with those of Europe.
1t may be that if all the shipyards of
the country combine it will be possible
to build ships in our shipyards as cheap
iy as they are built elsewhere. If they
should accomplish that, there would not
be much complaint of the shipbuilding
trust, provided, of course, ships for the
prices obtained for those built for for
eign demand, and provided also, that no
request were made of Congress for sub
sides

BABCocK STILL TALKING.

Congressman Babcock of Wisconsin,
who put many of his Republican friends
on the anxious seat just before the ad-
journment OF the last Congress by his
bill to take the tariff off of steel products,
is back in Washington, and is still talk
ing in favor of repeating the tariff where
it is no longer needed for protection.
The fact that he Is chairman of the Con-
gressional Republican Committee gives
what he says more significance than the
talk of an ordinary Congressman has.
When he introduced his bill some Of
the Republican leaders and newspapers
that are in close touch with the steel in
terests undertook to bulldoze him into
withdrawing it, but he had the courage
to stand firm, and he seems to be glad
now that he did. He says that since the
adjournment of Congress he has been
over a good part of the West, and that
everywhere he was commended by both
Democrats and Republicans for introduce
ing the bill The sentiment, he says, is
in favor Of taking the tariff off of any
article which is produced in this country
There is no reason why these great COM
binations of capital should be permitted
to charge the home consumer for their
products more than they charge the for
elgn consumer. Steel is now made in this
country at less cost than in any other.
There is no reason therefore why steel
products should be protected. An article
that is produced for less in this country
than it is produced abroad brings in no
revenue through the custom house. There
is no reason therefore why there should
be tariff duty on that article.
There is no dubt that the position that
Mr.. Babcock has taken is the right one,
and his party will have to back him up
in it or else the people will turn it out
of power. If il stands by the trusts
rather than the people the people will
put some other party in charge of the
government a party that will look after
their interests rather than those OF the
trusts.

Evans Experience with Snakes.

Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, when a
young officer. was on the Indian station
in the Delaware. With several others he
set up a bungalow on shore He tells, in
"A Sailors Log" published by the APP
pleton's, what happened to snake
charmer that came along:
THE unfortunate thought came to one
of our men that it would be a good idea
to get the Mohammedan drunk to see
what he would do; SO he prepared a dose
for him that was very effective. He
poured a good stiff drink of brandy into
a beer glass, and then filled it with gin
instead of water. The charmer took
kindly to the drink, and in a short time
rolled out of his chair on 40 the floor
very drunk, and was soon fast asleep.
The bag OF snakes had not been thought
of Up to this time, but it also fell, and
the inhabitants quickly spread over the
floor In the meantime five American
officers took to the table, and drawing
their feet up carefully, remained there
until the snake-charmer silent off his dose.
He snored quietly while the snakes
crawed over and around him,
but it was long time before
he finally came to himself secured
his pets. and took them away We did
not repeat that experiment"

ready an agitation ON the part of the YES

A FAINT-HEARTED DEFENDER.

1t seems that Mr.. Carol Merton, doctor
of Christian Science, and member of the
lecture board and general authority upon
the cult, is not a fighting defender of
Christian Science. Upon occasions, when
that faith has been attacked and stood
in need OF defender, Mr.. Norton has
been put forward to present the side Of
the Christian Scientists. 1t cannot be
said that on such occasions he has made
himself we'll enough understood TO salts
fly doubters, however much he may have
pleased those who have accepted his
views
The Nineteenth Century Club OF New
York city has members of an inquiring
turn Of mind and they wanted to hear
what could be said for and against Chris
tian Science There is every reason to
think they were sincere. Therefore the
club invited Mr.. Norton to discuss Chris
tian Scince with the Rev. DIR. Buckley of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, North,
on last Tuesday evening. Mr.. Norton
accepted the invitation The Rev. DR..
Buckley had already accepted Indeed.
he was anxious to meet in debate Mr..
Norton or any other defender of the
Christian Science faith.
But the club was not to be gratified.
The Rev DR.. Buckley was on hand, but
Mr.. Norton. in a note, excused himself.
He said thas it was impossible In the
timeNalIotted to him to do justice to Chris
tian Science, that in a forty minutes
address he could hardly touch even the
hem of the garment
The club management undertook to get
some other one of the Christian Science
leaders to take Mr.. Norton's place. and
failed. The members of the Christian
Science organization. who We're present
on the invitation OF the club. were great
ly disappointed at the refusal of their
champions TO be present and defend their
faith. They were mortified by the jeers
with which Mr.. Norton's note, declining
to be present, was greeted. II was
openly said by club men that the Christian
Scientists were afraid to meet an oppo-
nent OF their faith in debate.
1t isn't true probably that Christian
Science is lacking in defenders, but Mr..
Norton's failure to meet Rev. DR.. Buck
ley. in accordance with his agreement,
cannot fail to injure the cause OF Chris
tian Science In New York city. where
there appears to be great inquiry con-
corning It at present.
II It is not the policy OF the Christian
Scientists to defend their faith in pub
lie debates Mr.. Norton ought TO have said

Buckley. Instead of doing 50 he seem
ed eager TO participate in the debate II
was only at the last moment that he de-
cided 10 cancel his engagement APP
parently he lost confidence IN hls ability
