Affected not to recognize Lewis, an
this infuriated the Madison postmaster,
who drew his pistol and obtained his
notes. There is no element of the real
highway robbery in Postmaster Lewis
action.
An application will he made to the
Governor of Virginia TO demand that
Pcstma ster Lewis be sent to Virginia
for trial on this persecution. If Gov
ernor Montague understands the true
significance of this miserable piece of
political meanness, he will not permit
the Republican politicians to use iim
in furthering their petty political VEN
geance.
The exposure of the methods of rails
ing Doodle employed by North Carolina
Republicans has infuriated the Repub-
lican bosses. Those of them who have
gene to the extreme of procuring the
indictment of Postmaster Lewis in Vir-
ginia upon trumped-up charge of
highway robbery are The sOrriest sort
of political vernjn, and the Gecenter
portion of the Radical gang ought to
repudiate the whole business.

postmaster outright, and so they are
trying to have him incarcerated in jail
in Virginia to compel rim to vacate the
office. The crime of highway robbery
is not bailable and therefore if Postmas-
ter Lewis can be taken to Virginia on
this absurd charge, he would be kept i'll
Jail until the trial. That seems to be
the game, for yesterdays Webster's
Weekly said:
"No doubt the Republicans are mad
and would like to flighten Lewis into
throwing up his commission. That is a
matter for them to fight out. But let
them attemp draw any Democrat into
the fray and evidence will be forthcom-
ing that will involve the big fellows in
a world of trouble. The President will
be put in possession of the true facts
and will be bound to act or stutify his
convictions and violate his oath of Of

democrats have enjoyed the humor
Of the situation, but if there must be
serious side to it for THEM, they
are ready for business and will go in
for BIG fame"
If that is the game it is as outrageous
piece of business as was ever under
taken. 1t is nothing less than trying to
use the machinery of law to execute
vengeance upon a postmaster whose
only crime is having unwillingly ex-
posed the schemes of the Radical politi-
clans in North Carolina. The whole
thing is a stink from top to bottom. To
remove Lewis would be to bring the
matter to the ears of President Koose-
Welt and show that Federal of!icialGom
in North Carolina is guilty of fragrant
violations. That would be piece of
business that Roosevelt would not like.
Even if he is ready to wink at this sort
of bsiness, Mr.. Roosevelt would not
wish it advertised among the indepen-
dent civil service reformers of New
York and Indiana. He would wish the
Viclators to get "a little further from

Chapel Hill, N. c., April 1S.-One
thousand people saw the boys from the
Old Dominion State defeat the Univer-
sity of North Carolina this afternoon in
a ten inning contest, by the narrow mar

Both teams were in prime condition
and gave a fine exhibition of field game
For the first five innings things looked
bright for the '"Tarheels," for they put
on their batting clothes scoring two runs
in the second and one in the fifth. The
Virginians became uneasy at their op-
ponents lead and in the fifth inning, by
two singles, a base on balls and an
error, sent two men across the slab.
Sweeney for Carolina, was the hero
of the day. With one man on third one
at second and two outs staring Carolina
in the eyes, he ''wilfully' swatted the
ball where the Virginians couldn't reach
it and thus scored two men.
Then the college boys went wild, "Old

Germany Dies Suddenly of

Berlin, Nov. 24-Herr Krupp, the
great gunmaker and the wealthiest
man IN Germany, died suddenly from
apopleSy Saturday afternoon at his
villa on the hill near Essen. Herr
hrupp had been i'll for several days,
and report of his condition was tele-
graphed daily to his wife, who had
been several months in Jena under
medical treatment. According to the
medical reports, his physicians sue
ceded in restoring Herr Krupp to con-
seriousness, but their patient soon re-
lapsed into insensibility. He died at
three O'Clock. In the meantime the
directors of the Krupp works and
Herr hrupp's solicitors had been sum
moned. They held a consultation
after his death and caused a bulletin
announcing his demise to be posted
at the works at six o'clock.
Moderate estimates of the fortune
of the deceased place it at $125,000, 900,
and his annual income during his re-
cent years of prosperity at $10,O0O,-

krupp committed suicide is yielding
to precise and abundant testimony to
the contrary. Prof. Binswanger, a

Big Elephant Gypsy brushes out the
Life of James O'ROurISe-The
Animal Put to Death.

Savannah, Ca, Nov. 24.-Gypsy, the
big elephant belonging to Harris
Nickel Plate shows, and which in
jured its keeper in winter quarters
in Chicago several years ago, went
crazy six miles from Valdosta, Sat
urday afternoon and killed her keep
er, James O'ROurke. The circus train
had been in a wreck at Triton early
in the day, when several of the ami
NAL cars were wrecked and two or
three trained horses killed. The ele-
plant Gypsy was in highly nervous
state when the train pulled out for
Valdosta, the next show point. Six
miles out from that town Gypsy be-
came so noisy and restless that
O'Rourke entered her car as the train
stopped at a small station to try to
quiet her. Immediately the mad
brute attacked the man and crushed
his life out against the side of the
car. O'Rourke, for some reason did
not close the door of the car after
him, SO, after killing her keeper,
Gypsy escaped to the woods. Her
absence was noted before the train
left the station, and hunt was or
ganized. The big beast was shot a
number of times before she sue
cumbed to rife bullets in the brain.
