the leading organ manufacturers OF the
United States, and efforts made in other
directions to secure a purchaser, without
success. At this juncture the ladies of
the Tabernacle church, who had in 0cfn-
Der, 1899, purchased a new organ for
which they paid $40 and not $161 as in
ferred from the committees report pro-
posed to exchange their new organ for
the old one in it's knocked down condi-
ton, and agreed to give $50 in addition.
The committee to whom this matter was
referred after q full and thorough in
vestigation concluded that it was wise to
accept the proposition, and did SO. II
cost the ladies Of the Tabernacle church
$3.50 to put the old organ up in its pres
ent position in the Tabernacle church so
that the organ cost them over $500. About
two hundred dollars was expended on the
organ itself It is true that the musical
director Of the institution testified be-
fore the committee that he had not peen
asked as to his opinion of the value Oh
the instrument and thought it worth
about five or six hundred dollars. The
facts are that the instrument was not
worth near so much. The musical direc-
tor and other competent authorities have
informed your board that the organ sold
to the Tabernacle church is not SO good
an instrument as that in the First Pres
byterian church of this city, which is now
being offered for sale at price which,
will net the church considerably less
than four hundred dollars. With full
knowledge of all the facts your board
of directors believe that it's committee
made diligent effort to do SO ana Sc
cured a fair price for the Did organ"

notified officers of the presence of the
confidence men, outlining plan by which
they were to be captured. Bono was in
the woods near the town with the bricks,
and when Garrett and the others started
to the place of concealment the officers
followed them. After the bricks had been
produced and weighed by Garrett, Thomp-
sen and Bono were arrested. Returning
to town, HaWley, who was TO assay the
gold for Garrett, was arrested. In addi-
ton to the bricks, several reYolveTs, $500,
an assayer's outfit, chemicals, a Brad

A pRETTY SCHEME sP0ILED.

A PRETTY SCHEME SPOlLED.
Mr.. Garrett is citizen Of Weldon, and
as he is reputed to have considerable
ready money this gang of bunco steerers
selected him as q victim Thompson told
Garrett he had been mining out West
for years, and had a chum out there
named Garrett. They had promised each
ether that if one struck it rich the other
was to be let in on the ground floor.
He had found a wonderfully rich mine in
Arizona, and had come all the way to
North Carolina to find his old chum,
who was a brother CT the Weldon man.
But as he had failed to find the bro her
he would let Mr.. Paul Garrett into the
secret. Thompson said an Indian, Gomez
Bono, had two samples of the gold in
bricks. Bono had been sick in Green's
boro but if Garrett would go there he
would see the bricks, ascertain the quail
ity of the gold, and then if he would
put up $40, 600 Bono and Thompson would
go back to Arizona, buy proper machinery
and work the mine, Garrett to have
half interest.
Mr. Garrett notified the governments
special agent in Greensboro about the
affair, and when he arrived 10 meet
Thompson and Bono the officer YVES
promptly q.
Garrett reached the spot the Indian ex-
hibited the gold bricks. One weighed
sixty pounds and the other little more.
After the weldon man h9d talked with
the fahrs enough TO disclose the plan to
the government officer he gave the signal,
and the officer came out and arrested both
the gentlemen from Arizona. They were
given a preliminary trial, and committed
%rEn 81 Inv, of
Guilford Superior court.

Howard Bono claims TO be known as
A. L. Daley when he is not in disguise,

shortly afierward, is put down on the

The swindlers are undoubtedly most
dangerous characters, and evidence in the
hands of the officers at Greensboro shows
that they are wanted at several other
places for working the scheme they at
tempted there, for burglary, bank rob
bing, etc. They were certainly we'll equip
ped for all these crimes.

" Such a Noise J"

The mother says to herself sometimes.

When n child does not enjoy noisy

wrong, and that something will often be
found TO be a lack Of nutrition adequate

TESLA ON wILLoT's THEORY.
.-. That the Idea of the French
man Is Not New-Earth Acts
Like Wire.

Nikola Tesla was seen the other
morning in reference TO the statements
OF the French electrician, NJ. Willot,
who said that electrical messages are
transmitted through the earth, not
through the air. NJ Willot holds that
the ether wave theory has been dis
proved. and that conduction through
the earth is the real means Of trans
mission. In his practice NJ. Willot
means apparently to use deep shafts
as starting stations. transmitting his
currents through different geological
strata. suited by their density to cur
rents Of different intensity.
"1he idea Of the French engineer is
not novel" said Mr. Tesla. He pro-
poses to transmit through the ground,
connecting the transmiiter al two
points at different depths. The amount
Of energy so transmitted 10 distance
is limited, and much more can be con
veyed by simply connecting the trans
mitter to two distant points Of the
earth's surface. The latter scheme is
much nearer perfect than that pro
posed By the French engineer. But
far more energy can be transmitted
to distance by merely connecting one
pole OF the transmitter TO the group6
and the other TO a metallic plate ol
wire elevated above ground. That thu
earth acts entirely like an ordinar,
wire | have demonstrated recently b.
producing stationary electrical waves
These waves virtually mean that TIL
waves prcduccd'by my apparatus hav
