Raleigh, N. c., Nov. 23.-Emmett
Boyette, who shot and killed his
wife al her home in Kinston, n. c.,

"Gentlemen of the jury: In my
long judicial experience I have never
censured a jury, and it is not my pur-
pose to censure you now. L am bound
10 believe that you acted conscien-
tiously. But / cannot help feeling
that you have made a very grave
mistake in entirely acquittIng this
prisoner. Your verdict will be a

ministration of justice in this coun-
ty, I fear for years to oame.n

THE RALEIGH DIsPENsARY,
Raleigh Post.

Raleigh Post.
The board of aldermen met at noon
yesterday and elected three dispen-
sary commissioners for the city of
Raleigh. The commissioners are:
W. N. Jones, lawyer and presi-
dent of the Raleigh Anti-Saloon
League.
John A. mills, business man and
president of the Raleigh and Cape
Fear Railroad.
W. n. Smelling, retired merchant
and vice-president of the Peoples
Mutual Benevolent Association.
The election Of the first two was
unanimous, but there was a spirited
contest in the board between w. H.
Cole, one of the former commission
ers, and w. N. Smelling for the third
place and the board again voted s to
7, preserving the lineup of Friday
night. The feature of the meeting
was the speech of Alderman A. B.
| Andrews, Jr., in which he set forth
the eason why the ''big nine" OPP
posed the three men first nominated
by the Anti-Saloon League.
The Post, commenting on the above,
says editorially:
At a called meeting of the Board
of Aldermen held yesterday, Messrs.
! Wesley n. Jones, John A. Mills and
W. A. Snellings were chosen COM
missloners to organize and manage
the Dispensary directed by the citi-
zens to be established in this city on
the first OF January next.
This is a happy result OF the meet
ing, one that will meet the approval
of the best citizens. These gentlemen
are recognized for their high person
al character and business integrity
as among the best of the city.

PEOPLE WHO
MAKE YOU SILVER.

Before another season of snow, ice
and bleak. chilling winds begins it
might be well to agitate the question
of forming a Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Chilly Persons 1t seems
as if such a society had become
really crying need.
Sensitive, shivery folks, says the
New York Supn, have had their natur-
ally uncomfortable sensations very
much increased in the past winter by
the antics of a rapidly growing band
of individuals who wear summer gar
ments all the year round. Whether
they do this with the laudable idea Of
hardening their constitutions, whether
they do 1t in sheer bravado or simply
to attract attention, it is impossible to
say, but young men and sometimes
men old enough to know better, are
often to be seen without overcoats in
the very coolest weather
Both men and women of this cult go
about with low-cut shoes and open
work thread stockings, the women's
shoes with thin soles and French heels.
The women always wear thin, short
jackets and no furs around the neck
nothing but a silk stock with a large
tulle bow, which may be warm, but
doesn't look it,
The sight Of one Of these hardy crea-
lures will send cold ehills running up
and down the spine of shivery person
which 1t taxes large vistas OF richly
fur wrapped folks to dissipate. Not
long ago, when the thermometer was
at above zero, one of the chilly NOR
tails, after being almost petrified by a
vision of airiness in a foulard silk
skirt a Hight cloth Jacket, thin ties.

and a picture hat which merely perch
ed itself upon her pompadour came
the next moment on a spectacle which
sent the warm blood coursing through
his veins again.
This spectacle was by way of con-
trast young girl, pretty and presuma-
bly, delicate, for what did she wear
with gentle grace and dignity but a
hood, a real. old-fashioned hood such
as were commonly worn in the :0s.
made of cashmere, edged around with
fur and accented with smart ribbon
bows.
"Ha! that's the girl for my money"
said the chilly mortal. Wouldn't she
warm the cookies of your heart? / re-
member well when they wore those
things; and they always looked charm
ing In them, too.
These creatures that go about in
freezing weather with scarcely clothes
enough on for a cool summer should
be suppressed. IL doesn't matter
whether they feel warm or not, they
should be Obliged 10 look warm, too
Fortunately there IL still comforta-
