BEST RECORD EVER MADE.
A Raleigh Linotype Operator Holds the
Palm.

The Harbinger, the bright labor publ
cation. edited by Mr.. R. ID. Wicker,
Raleigh. tells how Raleigh linotype
operator leads the world. We copy it
with pleasure and congratulate Mr..
Terry.
The Harbnger says:
"Mr. Fred ]. Terry formerly of Char
lotte, N. c., but who has been with
Messrs. Edwards & Broughton, OF this
city. for the past year. has, during his
employ with the above named firm, won
for himself and for our city what is un-
questionably the best Linotype BREWER
record yet brought to light. While en-
gagged in setting the laws enacted by our
last General Assembly Mr.. Terry set
10, 900 ems above any known record in

which places him far in the lead. of
course there are records in nonpaliel
which exceeds this, but all operators
will readily understand the great ad-
vantage one would have in setting non

BILE feature of Mr.. Terry's record,
"The following is a letter received
from the Merganthaler Linotype Com
pany, of New York:
e" Fred J. Terry, Raleigh, n. c.
Dear Sir: Respecting your record of
65, 900 ems of BREWER in nine hours, we
would say, it is an admirable one, and
shows you to be master of the Linotype.
Eleven thousand ems per hour has been
reached in nonpariel by one operator in
competitive test; but of course non
pariel is very much easier face to set
and gives the operator a greater adj
vantage over one setting BREWER. Your
record is certainly a remarkable one
and l do not know of any which exceeds
it. Yours truly

OATS GO WAY UP.
sfxty-Ffve Cents, the Highest FRIES
in Chicago Since 1s74-AI-
most n Panic.

Chicago, July 1o.-In a very excit.
cd session of the board of trade
Saturday oats sold at osc, the highes,
price here since 1874 for that cereal.
The cause of this rocket fight, which
was a gain of Is cents in three days,
and of 7A cents Saturday, was the
fear of shorts" in July options that
they might not be able to secure oats
with which TO fulfill their contracts.
Back of this cause lay that of oat
fields, yellow for the harvest but
devastated by the heavy rains OF the
last few days.
Friday trade in oats on the local
exchange was very much excited
Saturday it almost reached u panic.
From the first tap of the starting
gond, terror filed the hearts of the
bears In the oats pit. Reports dur.
ing the latter end of June and dur.
ing July indicated excellent harvests
of oats.
Shorts, who had been pinched o
little early in July options, deter
mined to hang out for q reaction when
good weather arrived. Stocks of old
oats became rapidly depleted under
a constant good cash demand. Mayor
James Patten of Evanston had cor.
nered May oats, and had done so so
successfully that there was no
corpse" of big cash supply to bury.
When the heavy rains continued re-
ceipts of new standard oats, which
must be delivered on new July con
tracts, were almost nil. Saturday
only 81 cars of all kinds of oats ar.
rived, and only 2s cars were of con-
tract grade. Shorts" bid for what
little stuff there was offered. The
bulls believed prices would go still
higher, and chief of these bulls was

have a tight hold on nearly 1000, 900

THE HOLY CITY AT ST. LOUIS.
Jerusalem At the worlds Fair
under Consideration.


81. Louis, July 2i.-A proposition
which is being considered at present
by the management of the Worlds
fair, and which Is said to have re-
ceived general approval, has been
outlined by Mr.. Alex. Konta, of this
city: Have you been TO Jerusa-
lem?" will be the phrase by which
the unique feature OF the exposition
will be known. II is also affirmed
that the spectacle will certainly be
an attraction of st. Louis during the
Worlds fair period. whether a deal
be closed with the exposition officials
or not. The intention of the projec-
tors of the plan Is To reproduce the
city Of Jerusalem. with an attention
To truth of detail. which, it Is claimed,
has never been attempted before In
the making of any oriental entertain
ment in this country.
Mr.. Konta has been a frequent vis-
itor to Jerusalem, where he knows the
officials. and has an intimate knowl-
edge of the people, as well as the
phrases OF life there which are most
interesting TO visitors. Equipped
with this influence and knowledge,
he says that he will be able 20 get
the rarest curios and relies in the
domain OF the Turk. though soldiers
of the sultan will be on hand to
watch over them with jealous care.
Mr.. Konta explains that he has re-
Gently returned to the city, after an

that while in Europe he engaged the

oriental styles, plans and decorations,

The Jerusalem display will require
large space to do justice TO the
plans as outlined. The physical fea-
lures of the city and its enyirons will
be duplicated, ancient and modern
structures and landscape features
will be faithfully represented, among
them Solomon's temple, the church

Kingstown, st. Vincent, Friday
July 1s.-Several shocks of earth
quake were experienced here to-day.
There was terrific one at

accompanied by loud rum

Furniture was set In motion every
where, bottle and crockery were
thrown from shelves In shops, and
several buildings were damaged.
There was no loss of life, but a great

shock lasted only ten seconds. These
shocks were probably caused by sub

A few days ago 1t was reported that
the saddle between the two orators
of the Souffriere volcano had col

Hamburg, July 21.-The steamer

sunk by the tug Hansa on the River
Elbe at 1890 o'clock Monday morn
ing. So far as is ascertainable. about
so persons were drowned Thirteen
bodies already have been recovered.
The Primus was an excursiensteam-
er from Buxtehude. province of Han
over, Prussia.
The disaster occurred between
Blankenez and Niensedten. Among
the passengers were the memebrs of
the Eilbeck Male Choral society.
At the time of the accident the
Primus was crossing the river chan
mel near Blankenez, from the south
ern into the northern fairway.
According to witnesses aboard the
Hansa, the movement was made too
precipitately.
The Primns struck the tugs en-
gineroom and the Hansa endeavored
to push her ashore, but the tug
grounded and the ships parted. The
Primus then sank. In the interval,
however, about so of her passengers
were able to reach the Hansa by
means of ropes and ladders. Seventy
more were picked up by the tugs
boats, while others swan ashore.
The disaster caused deep gloom
here. Many children lost both their
parents. The Choral society, which
was on board the excursion steamer
consisted mainly of workmen. There
were no foreigner passengers.
