Pardons by tho President.
The President has denied thirty-two ap-
plications for parden, has restored five ap-
plicants. who have served out their terms
of imprisonment. to citizenship, and has
acted favorably upon six other cases as
follows:
He has pardoned George w Jones, who
was convicted In the western district of
North Carolina OF violation of the internal
revenue laws and sentenced on April Z, 1902,
to Imprisonment for a year in the Surry
county Jail and to pay a fine Of $500. His
pardon was recommended by the trial judge
for the reason that he believes the prisoner
was not Intentionally guilty of violating the
law, and has been sufficiently punished for
his technical offense. In this opinion the
Attorney General conquered.
He has pardoned William Mcknight, who
was convicted at Nome, Alaska, of larceny,
and sentenced to imprisonment for a year
in jail. He has been imprisoned since Jan
uary %, 1902. The Attorney General recon-
mended a pardon because he thought the
prisoner had been sufficiently punished by
the Imprisonment already undergone
He has pardoned Albery L. Mauney, con-
victed in the western district of North Car
olina of violation Of the internal revenue
laws, and sentenced to Imprisonment for

Maine, who announced his candidacy for
Speaker of the Fifty-eighth Congress shortly

Mr.. Littlefeld paid his respects to Repre-
sentative Cannon at the Cochran Hotel last

clared to be very gratifying.

Judge Lightfoot Called to the County
to Investigate Condition
Postmaster ut woodville Claimed That
the Road Could Not Be
Travelled,
PROMISE OF A GRAVEL ROAD

County Judge Lightfoot and Super
visor E. B. Johnston went out to Wood
vile 10 miles from the city yesterday
to investigate the condition Of the
road in front of the Ware place, near
woodville.
1t was claimed that the road, by rea-
son of crossing the railroad con-
tractors had made, was impossible and
the officials went out to personally in
vestigate. They found the road in a
very bad condition. 1t is very good
road in dry weather, but the rains
have made it very dLsicult to use,
and complaints OF it have been gener-
al.
Judge Lighttoot found that it was
not impossible, however. He went
over 1t himself and learned that many
others 20 over it daily. 1t is uadoubt
eddy very bad place, and ths judge
notified the railroad contractors that
they must at once put the road in
good condition, or he would have them
all arrested for obstruoting the roads,
The contractors agreed to build q
new road, and gravel pit, on the south
side of the present road, so the railroad
will not have to cross at all. and il
they do this without delay, there will
be no prosecutions,

METROPOLIS BLAZE
Fire Originated in the Morning Star
Salon.
About $4,000 Damage Done Before
the Confisgrstion Was Checked.

Metropolis was visited by very
destructive FIRE this morning between
three and four O'Clock.
The blaze originated in the Morn
ing Star saloon owned by Stephenson
and Manner and the saloon and two res
taurant buildings were destroyed with
the contents. The total loss is esti-
mated at about o., 900 partially cover
ed by insurance. The saloon building
and one restaurant belonged to Stephen
and Manner and the other restaurant
was owned by W. II. Kraper and ope-
rated by E. W. Kelley. The stock in
the restaurants was lost with no in
surance, but the buildings are fully in
sured. Slight damage by breaking
glass was done the Olympic saloon
but this Is small compared with the
damage to the other buildings. The
damage to the restaurant and buildings
is o., 900 on the buildings and 1000
ON the stock with q 81, 900 loss to the
saloon stock that was destroyed. The
firemen worked hard but were unable
to check the flames before the two res
taurant buildings were destroyed.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

changes in the specifications, thus null.
lifying the bond.
Some Of the members Of the com.
mittee, however, took the position that
this was . question for the courts to
settle, and not one TO be left for the
contractor himself to decide. 1t was
suggested tina. IL any changes were
made in specifications they were
agreed to by the contractor, which
made him liable.
Councilman Hummel, who is agent
for the company that furnished Con-
tractor Patterson's bond, said that his
company: for the reason stated above,
did not longer consider itself liable on
Mr.. Patterson's bond.
Councilman Hannah then said that
he was in favor of releasing nothing
until the courts saidlrelease it. He
said he was for holding the contractor
for his part Of the contract, and asked
II Mr.. Hummels company did not con-
slider Itself longer liable on Mr.. Patter-
sons bond, why it didn't release the
mortgage il still holds on his property.
The fact that the company refused to
release the mortgage shows that IL
does not regard itself as being re-
lieved Of liability on the bond.
Alderman Singleton finally moved
that it be recommended that the clerk
be ordered to repair the streets and
sidewalks within twenty days or the
city solicitor will proceed against him
and the bond.
This was unanimously agreed 10 by
the other members Of the committee,
and ratified by the board Of aldermen
last night.
AS this whole proceeding is based
on part of the provisions Of con
tract the city clerk has with the city,
his eligibility to hold public Office is
also involved, as the charter says that
no officer shall be interested directly
or indirectly in any contract with the
city.

ANOTHER NOTICE is SERVED

Board Of Health Takes Important Step

Sheriff Potter today served on Mr..
Theodore Luttrell, Of the county, an
other notice to have the children he 10
raising, Dollie and Gertie Peytoa,
vsccinated in compliance with tho
statutes. The notice was served at the
instance of DR.. Frank Boyd, Of the
county board Of health.
Mr.. Luttrell was very mucn sur
prised, and declared that he would not
obey the order, so informing DR.. Boyd
this morning. He did not understand
the meaning of the order at once, but
informed a reporter this afternoon
that he understood the county board
of health intends to take the question
into circuit court and have Judge Hus-
bands pass on it.
Mr.. Luttrell was warranted few
weeks ago, it will be remembered, for
refusing to have the children vacci-
mated, and County Judge Lightf DOT de-
cided that the legislature had r.o right
to say that citizens must oh ey rules
of board Of health.
Instead of appealing the case, it APP
pears, the county board decided to
bring the question mp in circuit court
by having indictments found, and this
will be done at once. Mr.. Luttrell
has refused to obey the summons, and
information will be lodged against
him with the grand jury, and IL the
indictment is found, the question of
the constitutionality will be passed on
by circuit court.

Notable Feature of the Season. :

Short, dOuble-breasted blouse coats
with fitted basques make notable
feature of the season and are more
generally worn for walking and the
affairs of life than any other sort.
The stylish model shown in the large
drawing includes the fashionable slot
seams at the fronts and the plain
sleeve with Follower cuffs that is so
much liked. When preferred the
basque portions can be omitted and
the blouse finished with the belt.
The blouse consists Of smooth
back, under-arm cores with slightly
full fronts and side fronts, which ex-
tend to the shoulders and are stitched
to an under strap TO form the slot
seams. The right front laps over the
left in double-breasted style, and the
neck Is finished with the fashionable
coat collar that meets the fronts and
rolls back to form lapels. The basque
portions are Joined to the lower edge,
the seam being concealed by the belt.
The coat sleeves are twO-seamed and
finished with Follower cuffs.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four and one
fourth yards twenty-one inches wide,
two yards forty-four inches wide, or
one and three-fourth yards fifty-two
inches wide.

The Care of L,tppa.

It is possible, II proper care is exer.
cised, to have lamps almost odorless
The best lamp in the world for reading
purposes is a student lamp. The first
consideration in purchasing a lamp of
any description is that 1t is safe.
In lighting a lamp the wick should
be turned down and left down until the
chimney and shade are replaced; then
gradually turned up. This will save
the chimney.
A lamp should be extinguished by
turning down ;he wick and then pull
ing the eXtinguisher. If there is no
extinguisner, blow across the top of the
chimney, never down into It,
Once in every two or three weeks the
burner should be washed in strong soap
suds or in soda water. Many persons
boil them in soda water, but 1t is hard-
ly necessary.
A few bubbles of air in the oil tank
of q students lamp will often prevent
free flow of oil through the narrow
pire burner, causing the lamp to give
a dim, yellow light. When filling the
students lamp bear this in mind, and
fill the tank to the top. and If any air
bubbles appear, break them.
