cool DEED OF cHlNAMAN.
Stole Valuable Clock in Presence Of
Supreme Court.

Sometimes a wicked person is sue
cessful by the very audacity OF his
project, but it is not often that man
dare risk the suspicious Of an assem-
bled court as in the following in
stance:
Tie court house at Singapore boast
ed a very valuable clock suspended
from the wall directly opposite the
bench. One day during a session of
the supreme court particularly meek
looking Chinaman entered carrying a
ladder. Removing his hat and bow
ing to the bench with the utmost
gravity, he proceeded to remove the
clock with business-like expedition.
Tucking the clock under one arm and
the ladder under the other, he passed
out unchallenged, every cne present
regarding him as coolie sent to re-
move the clock for the purpose Of
cleaning it. Several days passed and
the clock not being returned, the
magistrate reported the delay TO the
public works department, which knew
nothing whatever about it. Neither
the clock nor the coole was ever
heard of again.

Military Stamp Fiend.

One of the most persistent stamp
collectors in the ranks of philately is
an expert and dashing fighter in the
United States army, Capt. Joseph NJ.
I. Partelo Fifth infantry, military
governor Of the province of Abra, Lu-
zon The captain has just started on
his return to Luzon after a short visit
to his home in Washington. His col
lection contains over 40,0 900 stamps,
and as he had not seen it in four
years. the interest with which he
pored over the books was intense
amounting almost to neglect Of
Spousal and parental duties. His
daughter accompanies him back to the
Philippines. In his sojourn there
since 1898 he did not miss opportuni-
ties to pick up few of che Malabon
issues from the insurrectos, and these
considerably enhance the value of his
collection.

Fire Chiefs in European Cities.

Very few European chiefs of fire
brigades have been trained or have
worked their way up as firemen. In
Paris the chief must be soldier, and
the department is regiment of in
fantry, placed at the disposal OF the
city of Paris by the war office. In
Berlin the chief and most of the men
are veteran soldiers, though many are
artisans and mechanics In London
the chief officer is from tne navy,
and mir tenths of the men under his
comma are sailors. while in elias
gov tsa chief officer is master me-
chanic by trade, and every fireman
must be a skilled worker OF some kind
In Nasso, Sweden, the fire department
is made up of $50 women and the
"waterworks" are four enormous wa

Men Who Inherit Kingdoms.

Only seven sovereigns of Europe
have heirs Of their own body to sue
coed them. The emperor of Austria.
the king of the Belgians and the king
of Roumania will be succeeded by
nephews, the emperor of Russia and
the sultan of Turkey by brothers, and
the presumptive successor to the king
of Italy's heir is his cousin, the duke
of Aosta, while the succession to the
thrones of the Netherlands and Servia
may be regarded as in allegiance at
present. But for the Salic law, how
ever, the crowns of Russia, Austria,
Italy and Belgium would pass to
direct descendants of the present
ruler. In the case Of Turkey the sue
cession is regular, the sultanate pass
ing from brother to brother and not
from father to son.

TOO READY WITH ITS ANSWER
Minister'S Parrot Meant Woll, but tho
Result Was Dire.

The Rev. DR.. Mcconnell, formerly
OF Philadelphia, and now of Brooklyn,
has had a sad experience with feath-
cred pets. One of his wealthy parish
toner's is an old lady. She recently
bought a parrot for company. But to
her horror almost the first phrase it
uttered was: Il wish the old woman
was dead"
When DR.. Mcconnell called she told
him about her lew purchase.
why, Doctor" said she. cit keeps
saying all day long: I wish the old
woman was dead What shall I do?"
Il have it," replied the doctor. I
have parrot myself. ana he only
knows religious phrases. Let me send
him around and keep him with yours
awhile. Yours will learn his phrases
and then all will go on beaut.. ully."
The idea struck the spinster .avor-
ably and DR.. McConnell's parrot Vas
sent round That very day the two
were put together and the old lady
settled down in her rocker with a
placid face. Suddenly her parrot
cried out:
Il wish the old woman was dead.
In t:ae Episcopalian form DR.. Nc
Connells bird anoNered:
I'VE beseech thee to hear US. good
Lord"
'Tis said the Doctor doesn't call as
often as he did. His parrot is back
home. The Other is dead.

many requests for his autograph
from collectors and admirers not only
in Italy, but throughout Europe. that
he has at last grown tired of signing

method Of notifying the public that

The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1902-12-12

We publish elsewhere in this morn
ing's issue a reply by Senator Simmons
TO the statement of Senator Pritchari
given to the press several days ago
defining the position of himself and his
associates in the white republican
party" movement in this state. The
democratic chairman, of course takes
issue with the republican leader OIL
every proposition the latter lays down.
senator Simmons scouts the idea that
there were only 80, 900 white republicans
in the state prior to this year and places
the figures at sc. 1000 with the probability
that there were even more Mr.. SIM
mons scores a strong point on Pritchard
in his reply to the latter's attempt to
explain away the ousting of the negro
delegates from the republican state
convention. That part of Mr.. Pritch-
adr's card was very lame indeed. IT
would have been better for him n his
party if he had passed that matter over
in silence. His attempt at justification
was too transparent and he lays him
self open for a knockout blow which
MI summons uOeS NOT ldlI TO give nllIl.
Mr.. Simmons predicts that the demD-
cratic majority in 1904 will be from 75.-
900 to so, 900. He declares that the
state is and will remain Democratic"
a contamination devoutly to be wish
ed. But We him Mr.. Simmons wrong
when he says the republicans made no
gains from the democratic party in -
late campaign and when he counts, as
he seems to do, on all those who stav
ed away from the polls this year voting
the straight democratic ticket two years
hence. On the whole, Chairman SIM
non gets the best of the republican
leader in their cards to the people. He
shows up the fallacy of nan of the lat
ter's statements. but the error. in our
Judgment into which Mr.. Simmons
falls. as do a great many other demo-
Gratis is that the franchise amendment
TO our constitution is not going to have
any effect on the former white vote of
the state.
What we believe TO be the salvation
of the democratic party of the state is
the legalized primary system for nomi-
mating state and county officers. Give
the people this and thousands will be
kent in our ranks. A primary properly
conducted will prevent all discord in our
party. The majority will then rule the
party and the men who participate in
the primaries will vote the ticket Of
those primaries. There will be some
exceptions OF curse but as a rule tn
men who attend them will feel in honor
bound to abide by the results and this
course will add strength to u party
and bring back to it many who have
become lukewarm and Indifferent

COST OF LIVING.

Dun & Cos. Review of Trade gives
figures purporting to show the cost of
living at the present time compared
with like figures of several years past.
1t starts with the yea 1888. The cost
per capita Of living during that year is
placed at $99. 80. The table shows that
from that time to the year 1897 the cost
~ living continued to decrease until on
July 1st it had fallen to s72.4 As. Then
began a rapid advance in the cost of
necessaries Of life until the high mark
was reached on January 1st of this
year, when it is placed at s101.5S On
September 1st 1t had declined to 500. 6S,
but again took an upward turn and by
October 1st had gone back up to nearly
the high record mark, being 800. Oh.
Thus it will be seen, if Dun & Cos.
figures are correct, the cost of living
now is about the same that it was four
teen years ago, but a great deal high
er than five or six years back. In
other words. it now takes S100.6 81 to buy
the same quantities of the same kind
of neceSSaries of life as could have been
purchased with $72.45 Oh July l, 1897.
The greatest difference is in the prices
of bread-stuffs and meats. Most food
articles in fact have advanced in price.
while there has been little change in
clothing. Taking into consideration the
advance in Wilmington in price of fuel
n house rents the difference in cost
of living here between the dates last
mentioned will be found to be even
greater thai given by Dun & Co.
When it is remembered that with this
increase in cost of living there has been
little increase in wages the question
naturally arises: Where is all this
~prosperit" We hear 50 much boastine
about? We are told the sum total of
the bank deposits of the country are
greater than ever before: hat life in
surance companies are doing a larger
business than yer in their past his
tory and that these are two positive
| signs that prosperity is abroad in the
land. Do they really indicate hat the
whole country is more prosperous-the
| wage Garner as wen as the wage
| richer at the expense of the other? Do
not these big bank deposits and these
immense boards of the insurance COM
| panies show thai there is less money
in actual circulation among the wage
earners? Are the latter the men who
are making these bank deposits and
| patronizing the insurance companies?
| Is it not rather the men who are get
ting a hundred dollars of the wage
earner's money for the goods that a few
| years ago the latter could have pur-
] chased for s72 and had sos left to de-
