Major Wilson's Last Words.

(Raleigh News and ObServer)
To the Editor: Some two or three
weeks ago 1 felt it my duty to myself
and also the democratic party to make
a statement relative to Judge Clark s
democracy and fitness to sit upon the
supreme court bench. and stated that
if Judge Clark denied the charges I
made proof would be forthcoming. l
made this bold charge because / knew
democrats of the highest standing had
knowledge of the facts. After great
deal of evasion of the main charges and
efforts to becloud the issue Judge Clark
was forced to call upon Governor Rus
sell for the letters which contained the
proofs of these charges. and / am in
formed today that copies of these let
ters We're furnished Judge Clark with
IN offer to ALLOW comparison with the
originals for verification. Now proofs
of these two charges on these two
points of material questions are in
Judge Clark's hands. If he prints the
letters as he has promised to do, the
public will feel that my charges were
under-StatementS rather than over
statements. If he does not print these
letters it will be a confession of guilt
upon his part. Let judge Clark show
his letters. He has been trying to be-
cloud the issue by abusing Governor
Russell, with whom he was extremely
thick five years ago, as is shown in this
confidential correspondence. He has
been abusing Captain Day when Cap
tain Day appeared for Governor Russell
and Judge Clark in their efforts to re-
move me. Judge Clark seems now 70
have poor opinion of the friends with
whom he was so thick in 1897.
1t makes no difference who brought
these letters out, or in whose hands
they are, the question is, did Judge
Clark write them; if he did he is guilty
of instigating suits, concealing his con-
nection and then sitting in judgment
his letters, they are his utterances. no
matter who handled them since.
Judge Clark does not deny that ne
had friends to ask Governor Russell 70
appoint him chief justice a year and q
half ago; he does not deny that he ask
ed DR.. Thompson to intercede for him:
he does not deny that he was in corre-
spondence and in conference with lead
ing populistS. He fills nearly six col
umns of the paper with evasions and
efforts to becloud the controversy, but
there are mighty few direct denials in
these six columns. He did not deny.
because he knew the proofs would be
forthcoming.
With this statement l am done. II
the people want a chief justice who will
uphold the traditions of the bench like
Taylor, Ruffin, Smith, Merrimon, and if
he were not living I would say Shep-
herd, they can easily find the man. On
the contrary, if they want populist, Il
political manipulation, a man who stirs
up litigation, conceals his connection
with it, and then sits upon the case.
they have the opportunity. That man
is at hand-Walter Clark.

DIR. E. 8. Alderman.

- The following from the Baptist
Argus, Louisville, Ky, of May 1st,
concerning the Rev. DR.. E. S. Alderman,
a son of the late Mr.. Alfred Alderman,
of this city, and who has brothers,
sisters and other relatives here. will be
gratifying to his frinds and acquaint-
ancS:
'E. s. Alderman, the brilliant young
president Of Btthei college, has been
unanimously called to Warburton Ave
nue. church, Yolkers, N Y, one Of the
largest and vealthiest of Baptists
churches. The parsonage is said to
have cost S39, COO and the church build
ing is handsome in proportion. Presi-
dent Alderman was in New York City
seeing the Education Society about his
college endowment interests and was
asked to supply a Sunday for this
church. 1t seems that he captured the
people completely. We were not sur
prised at that, as We have held and
often borne wiireSS to our belief that he
is one of the very best preachers in the
south. His style is quick, vigorous.
clear. incisive. and his thought fresh.
fearless and wide in its reach. No man
in Kentucky, Is more companionable,
more beloved by those who know him
well. It is understood that Brother
Alderman will accept the call. While
We cannot but ssrisHe if he does. yet we
will heartily congratulate the Yonkers
brethren. The time mentioned for the
change is juno 1st. after the colleges
session closes"

NEW YORK STOCK MARKETS.

New York, May 10.-The effect Of the
strike of the anthracite mine workers
seemed to kill speculative interests in
the stock market today. Prices went
lower, in some cases notably so. but
the volume OF the liquidation was trivial
and was rather less in the coalers than
in some other departments OF the list.
There were some large individual SELL
ing orders in Union Pacific. St Paul
and n number of other promineht stocks
in which a speculative party has been
active recently, seemingly on the as
sumption that dividend increases were
to be looked for in those stocks.
The Unexpectedly poor showing by
the banks had much the same effect on
stocks. causing stranggling declines On
light selling. The opinion was heard
that the anthracite operators prefer
strike at this time. if one is inevitable,
rather than TO have it come In the fall
This does not consist with the conf
dent assurance that has been profess7d
I'm Wall street that there would be 10
strike at all
The strike is not taken very gra ely
even now. as is shown by the effect ou

SHE WAS VERY FLY.
Pretty Young Woman Passed Forged
Checks in Wilmington and Skip
ped-She Claimed to be the Wife of
Lou Fields and Was Here to Make
Company.

A week ago a pretty young woman
came to Wilmington and represented
herself as the wife of Lou Fields, the
well known New York theatrical man,
and made it known that she was here
to make an engagement for a large and
up-to-date vaudeville company. She
wore stylish clothes and nobby milli-
merry and was exceedingly clever and re-
fined in manner. She made the ac-
quaintapce of the theatrical boys of our
city and was a dead game sport, hir-
ing the finest turnoutS from the livery
stables to ride about town and take Il
spin on the shell road. She was a rat
tling good talker and a gay deceiver.
Well, she is not in Wilmington now,
but she is wanted here. She liked Will
mington millinery, dry goods and foot
gear and gave several of our merchants
a call. At Gaylord's big racket store
on Thursday she bought a bill of $51.65
and rendered a check for SIS on an Au-
gusta bank in payment. She received
the balance of $23.35 in cash and left
the goods to be delivered. She never
got the goods-yes, she did take away a
hat-but she skipped out with the cash
on the o'clock Coast Line train bound
north Thursday evening.
She had her trunks hauled by the
Cowan Livery Company and hired three
carriages at different times and she
just owes the establishment $10.50.
The young woman stopped at The
Orton and the evening after she had
skipped, shoes and other packages of
goods were sent to the hotel for her.
Just V lat other merchants she took in
this depOnent knoweth not, but proba-
bly, here are others.
Mr.. Gaylord telegraphed to the Au-
gusta bank about the check and the
cashier replied that the check was a
forgery and no such person had de-
posit there. The check was regularly
made out and endorsed, and as the wo-
man was we'll introduced, any gallant
gentliman would have cashed her paper.
Other towns had better beware of the
grass vidder.

New York May 1o.-The opening
prices today showed 2 to advance for
May and June while the rest of the list
was easier by to points The mar
ket started dull. both sides being apa-
thetic and disposed TO await new devel-
opments.
The government report again showed
most favorable weather conditions. At

more moderate rain while the rest of
the belt was without moisture. Some
Atlantic sections pretended to be need
ing rain, and somes there complain
that the price of labor VIII necessitate
planting much less cotton but this
makes little impression SO far. The
idea prevails that the weather must
change for the worse before the market
can change for the better. There was
a very small estimate for Houston but
this fell fat and the market dragged at
a slow featureless pace all .ae morning
Most OF the session prices were around

them upon promise 10 return them. This
promise was made and the letters were
returned to Day presently.
Lacy said they were all Clarks writ
ing, and Clark also desired that the
statement be made that these were all
his letters. Day endorsed on the envel-
ope that these were, so far as he knew.
all Clarks letters to Russell, but that
they were not all the letters Clark had
written. Lacy said Clark did not say
whether he would publish the letters
but his impression was Clark would
