-BALDWIN.MERcER TEA PARTY
RaiIroad Lawyer ana Nonreuident
Coneressman Fix Up Police Board
slate over = social Table.

All the society editors overlooked lit-
tie tea party that took place Saturday aft
ernoon at I'd Maurer's nectar bazaar and
thereby lost a valuable addition TO the
social news Of the week. But then this
particular tea party was very, very ex-
elusive and none OF the society editors
we're invited to join the charmed circle.
The first two arrivals entered together
shortly after o'clock. One wAa a large
rotund man with kinky dark-hrown hair,
reached straight up in what in sartorlal
parlance would be a pompadour. He was
smooth shaved, POSSESSED a mellifuous voice
and In fact bore a remarkable resemblance
TO John N. Baldwin Of Iowa. chief solicitor
for the Union Pacific railroad. His com
panion was almost as rotund, and wore
on his face a moustache and worried look
Some people thought this stranger acted
Ike David H. Mercer, hailins from Wash
ington or Minneapolis or some other dis
tant city.
The two drank and smoked and exchanged
condolences In which both sppeared to have
been Interested. then one OF them went
to the telephone booth called 2393, and even
az Aladdin brought the genii by rubbing
his lamp. there soon appeared in response
to call third man. He was even more
rotund than either Of the other two. His
hair was darker than the first mans and
he had moustache like the second mans,
but smaller and blacker. He also had
ponderous voice and a forgetful way Of
saying Your honor" that stamped him
with the likeness OF w. F. Gurley.
The tea party now expanded into trio,
hung around the little table for several
hours. What was said or agreed on OF
course no one knows, except the invited
guests, but the man with the kinky hair
seemed disposed to honor some requisitlon
the stranger wanted to make, for It can 60
on record as fact vouched by a respon-
sible party who passed the table at a crit.

the kinky hair, who looked like q railroad

Whether he was referring TO the expected
appointments on Governor savage's new
police board was not recorded.

Cannon, Shells, Lamp Posts.

The State Committee on Public
Grounds are laboring to add to the

from Fort Caswell will be placed at the
base of the monument.
On either side of the monument the
two cannon now coming from Fort Cas-
well will be placed, pointing down Hills
boro street, with piles of shells about
them. These, it is thought, will add to
the beauty of the monument.
Two cannon coming from Fort Macon,

at Augusta, Ca, are to be placed at the
Soldiers Home near the main walk,

WADE MECUM.
A Delightful Resort That Offers Great Attrac-
tions to ALL

Mr.. T. K. Bruner, who has Just re-
turned from Stokes county, says that the
most notable Improvement, or to put it
otherwise, the most elaborate develop
ment in that county of recent years, is
the opening of the Wade Mecum Spring
to the public. Located in the Sauratown
Mountains, where the country is much
broken by an upheaval of rounded hills,
with the more prominent heights sur
rounding it, the famous spring bubbles
forth its 1000 gallons of healing waters
FER day. The company has constructed
two hotels and number of cottages;
these are being enlarged and improved;
it is also giving attention to the roads,
grading and improving them. The popu-
larity of the spring is fully attested by
the large and increasing patronage given
it, every available room being taken on
the occasion of his recent visit.
The young people find much to amuse
and entertain them, especially those in
terested in natural history. There are
pair of lions, some monkeys, cockatoos,
parrots, swans, burros to ride, etc. The
young people, who are a little older, find
an excellent floor for dancing, and in
deed, provision is made for the enter
tainment and amusement of all guests.
The cuisine is under the personal super
vision of Mrs. Young, a lady of large
experience in such matters. All togthsr
the place is one of interest, and as the
years come and go will continue to hold
a large share of public favor.

THIEF WITH a BAG.
The Systematic Scheme Of Two Negro Boys
Finally Fails

The old fashioned sneak thief game
has been worked of late Systematically
on a number of Raleigh merchants and
a negro boy, aged fourteen, Hubert Fer
relI. has been caught at it and sent to
iaiI after a trial before Justice Yearly.
Terrell had an aide in another negro
boy. The two would go into store and
ask change for dollar. While this was
being made the accomplish, who had a
bag, would slip articles into it without
being noticed, and this in daylight.
The trick was caught on to" by Mr..
Philips, of Philips and Penny. The boy
with the bag escaped, but Terrell was
nabbed. He was tried at once and sent
to Jail in default of $50 bond. Other
merchants may add to the cases against
him.
Theer have been a number of thefts
of this kind in the last few days and
about fifty dollars worth of goods have
been missed by Philips and Penny Dunn
Brothers, j. G.. Ball, Whitaker and Hen
derson. Snuff, tobacco and hams seemed
to have been the chief articles. Investi-
cations are being conducted so as so dis
cover who bought these articles, as the
receiver and the thief are linked to-
gether and arrests may follow.
