Animals. Eye. Act independently


The eyes OF an animal can only work
together when they can be brought to
bear upon an object at the same time
40 that as a rule the eyes Of fish must
work more or less independently. This
is sometimes also the case when the
eyes can cooperate, as any one VINO
watches a place or other fiat fish In an
AQUARIUM will soon discover.
This is true. too. OF the curious bulg-

fix themselves.
Many animals possess more than
three eyes. which do not all act togeth
er. A leech. for example, has ten eyes
on the top Of its head, which do not
work i'm concert. and a kind OF marine
worm has two eyes on the head and a
row down each side of the body. Some
lizards have an extra eye on the top of
the head, which does not act with the
other two. A bee or wasp has two large
compound eyes. which possibly help
each other and are used for near vi

The frosty hand of death is contin-
ually knocking at the doors of the
children of men, and with joy breath
the dread monster breathes upon our
loved ones, and the golden bowl is
broken at the fountain, and the spirit
of rms unto God who gave it.
Verify the cradle and the grave
IRE very close together; the child of
to-day is the man of tomorrow, who
appears for a short time on life's
stage, with its ever changing scenes
of JOY and sorrow, laughter and tears.
Thus the days, and months, and
years pass away as M generation
falls asleep in the arms Of another.
So death, this unbidden guest, has
entered the ranks of the Junior Order
of the United American Mechanics,
and has taken away our beloved
brother William Henry Darden.
Brother Darden was a good Junior,
a good husband and father, and a
good citizen. Taken away in the
very prime of life, at the age of forty
two. To US his brethren, and to his
griefstricken wife and children the
blow falls with heavy hand.
buC, al DoSG, We are all cLlluF0u
cropping in the dark, but there is a
guiding hand, strong and true, the
hand of the loving Father, who alone
knoweth what is best for His chill
dren. His ~all-seeing eye never slum-
bers Q sleeps; lovingly He watches
over all, and when we, too, shall
cross the river and meet him face to
face, we shall understand in all of its
fullness the mercy and goodness of
God. Therefore, be it,
Resolved, That to the devoted wife
and children, we extend deepest
sympathies in their deep sorrow and
sore bereavement.
Resolved second, That a copy of
these resolutions be furnished the
family of our deceased brother, and
be published in the GOLDsBORO

CHOOSING THE JURY.
ELEVEN MEN SELECTED TO
TRY ARTHUR BISHOP.
Another Venire of Twenty-Five
Men Ordered-Mrs. Wilson
Breaks Down at Sight
Of Her Husband
Murderer.

OndTlOtle, IN. ", EeD. IO.-AlUeI
an all days sitting of the court only
eleven jurors were selected to pass
upon the guilt OF innocence of Arthur
L. Bishop, the young maj OF Peters
burg, who stands charged with the
murder Of Thomas J. Wilson.
Bishop entered the court room at
10 O'Clock in charge of a deputy
sheriff. He was accompanied by his
father, J. c. Bishop, Of Petersburg,
who is a mail carrier in the Peters
burg postotfice. He spoke pleasantly
to several he knew and took his seat
directly in rear of his counsel. He is
looking exceedingly well.
Promptly at 1890 O'Clock Solicitor
Webb arose and read the warrant
charging Bishop with the murder of
Wilson and later notified the prison
er of his rights in challenging the
jurors as they came to the book.
Through all this Bishop maintained
his composure.
Just as the name of the first Juror
was called Mrs. Wilson, widow of
the dead man, her daughter, Miss
Ada Wilson, and ten-year-old son
came inside of the bar of the court
and took seats in rear of the solicitor
and counsel for the State. Mrs. Will
son caught Bishops eye and burst
into tears. The daughter, while af-
fected, did not show her grief as much
as the mother. Bishop sat unmoved
talking to his father and occasionally
with one Of his lawyers.
Questions asked the members of
the special venire brought out the
fact that there exists in Mecklenburg
a strong feeling Against Bishop.
Thirty-fve out of 80 examined as to
their competency to sit on the jury,
stated that they had formed and ex-
pressed the opinion that they had
formed and expressed the opinion
that they had formed and expressed
the opinion tnat the prisoner was
guilty Of the crime as charged in the
bill Of Indictment. Several stated
that they had read numerous news
paper accounts of Bishops escapade
and did not think they could give
him a fair trial. In consequence of
this the entire venire was exhausted
before a jury was gotten.
Before a~djourning this evening,
Judge Neal ordered another venire
of % men TO select the twelfth juror
from.
The case will in ali probability con-.
sumo all Of saturday, Monday and q

sells are fighting every inch Of ground.

RED CROSS REORGANIZATION
No Attempt to Belittle Miss Barton:
Work


Il regret exceedingly the apparent desire
of those members of the National Red
Cross who are opposed to a reorganization
of the society and the placing of it upon a
strictly business basis to treat the effort
as a personal attack on Miss Barton" Miss
Mabel Boardman said today to an Evening
Star reporter.
Il have read Mrs. Logan's letter, printed
Saturday in The Star. My first inclination
was to answer it through the press, but
upon mature elaboration am disposed not
to do so, at least not at this time.
Il represent exactly the stand taken by
twenty-one other members of the Red Cross
who signed the memorial to Congress-
Il desire 1t to be thoroughly and distinct
ly understood that the matter of a proposed
reorganization of the Red Cross is not a
personal matter-no attempt whatever to
belittle Miss Barton or to detract from her
in any way whatsoever
ut is simply and solely a desire to have
the Red Cross conducted on business prtn-
ciples; in such way that it will merit
the confidence Of the public at large on
which it is dependent and also that it may
have a proper standing with the fnterna-
tional body"
1t is believed that the statement that is to
be formulated on the return of Mr.. Simon
Wolf to the city the latter part of the week
will contain virtually reply to Mrs Lo-
gan's letter. although Miss Boardman
would not admit such to be the case
The members of the Red Cross who are
urging a reorganization and the retirement
of Miss Barton on an annuity are not re-
ceding from the position they have taken.
They are more than ever it Is said, deter
mined that the society must be reorgan-
lied If public confidence is to be regained
and the noble work for which it was in
tended is carried on.
