Edenton Street Methodists.

The lost quarterly conference of the
year for Edenton Street Methodist
church was held last night, and the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Rev. j. Il. Gibbs, d. D., with this year,
completes his full term as presiding
elder of the Raleigh District, and under
the laws of our church must be transfer
red to another field.
AS official members of Edenton Street
church, and as we believe, representin.,
the sentiment of our people, we desire
to place on record this expression of our
appreciation of DR.. Gibbs as a man. as
Christian minister and as a Presiding
elder.
He has been untiring in his labors and
has displayed, not only great zeal, but the
highest intelligence, and a wise business
sagacity in his supervision of the work
committed to his care. He has been al
ways a safe counsellor.
The influence of his godly life will
long live among us.
We humbly pray that the Fathers
blessings may rest richly upon him and
his family, and that many added years
OF life may long continue his usefulness
to the church at whose alters he SO de-
lights to serve.

A TUG OF WAR.
Coffee Puts Up Grand Fight.

Among the best of judge of good things
in the food line, is the groceryman or
his wife. They know why many of their
customers purchase certain foods.
The wife of a groceryman in Carthage,
New York, says: Il have always been a
lover of coffee. and therefore drank a
great deal of it. About year and a
half ago, became convinced that it was
the cause of my headaches and torpid
liver, and resolved to give il up, al
though the resolution caused me no small
struggle, but Postum came to the res
cue. From that time on, coffee has never
found place on our table, except for
company, and then we always feel duh
headache throughout the day for havins
indulged.
when l gave up coffee and COM
menced the use of Postum l was an
habitual sufferer from headache. / now
find myself entirely free from 1T, and
what is more. have regained my clear
complexion which 1 had supposed was
gone forever.
Il never lose an opportunity to speak
in favor Of Postum. and have induced
many families to give it a trial, and they
are invariably pleased with it" Name

THE NEW CITY CLERK.
Was Selected Unanimously by the Aldermen
After Private Caucus Held
Last Night

There was special session of the
Board of Aldermen last night for the
purpose of electing city clerk. Mr.
William w. Wilson is the new official.
Mr.. Ham F. Smith had sent in his
resignation, and as he deired to be re-
lieyed of his duties before the next
meeting of the board the special meeting
was held. Mr. Smith is to become book
keeper for the Carolina Trust Company
Before the board met there was a
caucus. This was private, but it is said
that at the caucus the contest was be-
tween Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Richard
Gowan. Votes were cast for Mr.. G. Edgar
Leach and Mr.. w. H. Bragg, but the
real contest was between the gentlemen
first named. At one time it is reported
that there was a tie vote, seven and
seven, but Mr.. Wilson finally won out.
In the regular meeting the resignation
of Mr.. Smith was accepted and Mr.. Will
sons name was placed in nomination by
Alderman A. B. Andrews, Jr. There was

can wish him no better than that he be
as successful and popular an officer as

STUDY OF OLDEST ROCKS.
United States Geological Survey
Making Special Investigation 0
Pre-. CnmbrInn EOrma long.

The rock formation known to geol-
ogists, as pre-Cambrian and meta
morphic, which comprise some of the
oldest known rocks of the world, are
being made the subject of critical in
vestigation by the United States geo.
logical survey. Until within recent
years much less has been known
about these formations than about
those of later date, and they have Of
fered some of the most perpleXing
problems of the science by reason of
their intensely folded, crystallized
and chemically altered conditions,
which have resulted from the enorm-
Gus pressure and heat to which they
have been subjected in the past.
These ancient rocks, however, are Of
great economic Importance, as they
contain some of the richest deposits
of iron, copper and other useful min
erals to be found in the country. This
is especially true of those found in
the famous Lake Superior mining re-
gion.
Prof. C. r.. Van Hise, who for a
number of years has devoted himself
particularly to the investigation of
the metamorphic formations, has
been placed by the United States geo.
logical survey in charge of the studies
of this important group.

very strict upon their face, and if
properly administered should pro-

present positions both as to rank and
pay. New members are to be appoint
ed by the mayor from n classified list
prepared by the directors. For each
vacancy the three highest applicants
shall be certified and the mayor is to
make his choice from among that
number. The chiefs of each depart
ment are to be the executive heads of
the same and shall dispose of their
men as they deem fit. The sole power
of suspension rests with them and
the mayor is to hear and determine
the charges filed with him.

the members of the board of public
safety. sitting as merit commission
ers. The mayor may suspend the
chief, but the right of appeal aftev

system strictly forbids all political
assessments. The board of health
employees as now existing are to be
retained and none of them shall be
reported to the council in writing.
This board is also given the power to
contract unauthorized debts when
ever the presence of an epidemic of
contagion demands it. 1t may not de-

In the matter of taxation the old
law of procedure in condemnation of
property is retained. In the matter
of assessment for public improve
mcnts the important change of fixing
the tax and not the real value as the
basis for the assessment is made. AS
compensation the maximum is in
creased from 25 to 80 per cent. of the
entire valuation of the property. This
amount can be assessed but once In
a period of five years. Three modes
of assessment are provided-by the
front foot, by the parcel and by dis
trict upon the base of benefits con-
ferred only. The old law allowing
the building of sidewalks by assess
ment is wiped out and the matter
made one of regulation by municipal
ordinance. In villages the present
laws are practically retained, the
most important change being provi-
sion for board of trustees to take
charge of the public utilities when
ever the municipality becomes pos
sessed of the same. This is to be COM
posed of three members to be elect

years.

made appointive, subject to confirma-

this is to permit the combination Of
the duties of the town marshal and
commissioner for economy's sake.

COLON BlA BALKS.
She Does Not Like Proposition Made
by Our Government for Canal Treaty
Trying TO Drive n Hard Rarrafn.

Washington, Oct. 2S.--The long ex-
pected response of the Colombian gov
ernment to the proposition made by
the state department for the nego-
tiation of canal treaty on the lines
of the Spooner act has reached WASH
ington, and was presented to the
state department Monday by Mr..
herran, the secretary of the Colom-
bian legation. 1t is difficult to learn
the exact nature of this communica-
ton, but it is known that it is not
altogether an unqualified acceptance
of the state departments PROPOSE
tions. 1t is, however, friendly and
dignified in tone and does not close
the negotiations by any means.
though it unquestionably sets back
the date of final agreement by OPEN
ing up new topics for argument. For
one thing the Colombian government
now is entirely dissatisfied with the
small amount of the payment to be
made to it by the United States un-
der the terms of the protocol which
it is proposed to use as the basis of
the treaty. This sum is $1,000, ,0OO
Colombia wants at least $10,O00,00O.
Moreover, the original proposal
looked to a wait for IA years before
beginning the payment of annual
rental, the amount of which was to
be then fixed by mutual agreement.
Colombia now asks the United States
to agree at once on a lump yearly
payment of 100000, which will con-
siderably increase the immediate cost
of the enterprise.
The Colombian government clings
to it's contention that it has no con-
stitutional authority to ALLEVIATE any
Colombian territory and reiterates
that the best it can do to meet the
language of the Spooner act, which
looks to perpetual control by the
United States over the canal strip. is
to make a 100-year lease with n dis
tinct stipulation that the same shall
be renewable by the United States at
the expiration of the first century.
One obstacle which, it is believed,
will interfere somewhat with the inn
mediate resumption of negotiations
is the feeling aroused in Colombia
by the actions of American naval Of
ficers during the revolutionary move
ments there. These are declared to
hd'c peSh piIISliy Icsehteu III poSo-
ia, where it was felt the American
officers had exceeded their authority
in interfering with the transporta-
ton of Colombian soldiers across the
isthmian railroad-a right the Colom-
bian officials have asserted is guar
anteed them by treaty. The contro-
versy growing out of the attitude Of
these officers was taken up by the
Colombian state department with
United States Minister Hart at Bo-
gotta, and has not yet been settled.

The steamer Valley Girl took 200
sH:powners, yachtmen and others
down the bay the other afternoon to
witness a demonstration of the capa-
bilities of the Carley life boat. The
float is easily handled without tackle
or machinery of any description, and
in the water will support more per-
sons than could be crowded into II

nonsinkable.
The Valley Girl went as far rs the
Romer beacon, and then the raft was
thrown overheard. 1t took two men
to slide it off the deck and 16 men
who had been taken on the steamer
jumped off the deck, swan to the
float and climbed in. The float used
was five feet by eight, and is persons
could ride inside. Men climbed on
one side of it with the idea of turn
ing the float over, but it still kept on
an even keel and floated with the
tide.
The float has been put on some of
the battleships of the United States

soon be used on some of the ocean

DUSS WINS.
Supreme Court Decides Against Dis
tribution I'm Famous Case Involving
Property of Harmony Co-Operative
Society at Economy, PA.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Justice Nc
Kenna yesterday delivered the opin-
ion of the supreme court in the case
of Christian Schwartz and others VS..
John S. Duss, involving the property
held by the Harmony Cooperative
society at Economy, Pa.
Schwartz and his associates claim
to be descendants of former mem
bers of the society and brought the
suit for the purpose of securing dis
tribution of the society's property,
alleging that the organization has
ceased to exist, that there are now
only eight persons who pretend to be
members of the society and that they
are either old men or women and that
the management OF the property,
which amounts in the aggregate to
about 100000 in value, is in the
hands of Mr.. Duss, the senior trustte,
and that he is rapIuly wrecking the
property.
The court decided that Schwartz
and his associates have not such a
proprietary interest in the property
as would entitle them upon a disso-
luton of the society, to share in
u.
1T was provided by the articles of
agreement that the member who
withdrew from the society could
make no demand against it as a mat
ter of right. The member who died
left no right to his representatives,
1t needs no argument to show that as
such members had no rights they
could transmit none to the petition.
ers in this case"
The opinion affirmed the judgment
of the circuit court of appeals fol
the third circuit. Mr.. Duss, who is
the defendant in the case, is the well
known bandmaster.
The chief justice and Justice Brew.
er united in a dissenting opinion
holding that the court should have
taken up a second question in the
ease, namely, whether the society
lad been dissolved, in which case
they held there should be a division
of the property, and the standing OF
the petitioners then decided.
