FUoUAY AND THE FOURrH.
Several Bundred People Enjoy the Day at the
Great Regort


Several hundred people gathered at Flu
quay Springs for the annual picnic on the
Fourth and the park around the spring
presented an animated appearance. Every
one, from the babies to the old folks, who
had been going to the spring since their
childhood, seemed to be enjoying life.
The barbecue at the new cafe was large
ly attended by people from the city and
from many neighboring towns. The cafe
has been modestly termed the Cottage
Hotel but on hot day like this last
Fourth it might also be called the Shirt
waist Inn,' as that comfortable garment
was most popular with both sexes. The
dining room is so high and airy and so
well shaded by the wide verandahs that
it can never be too hot to eat such a
well cooked meal as viii be served regular
ly. On Sundays, besides the regular fare,
ice cream lunches, ETC., will be served.
Tneer is talk of having one or two
weekly passenger trains on the Mills road
leave the city in time for supper at the
spring and return before midnight. This
will be a pleasant little outing for the hot
season. The young folks can have all the
fun, frolic and dancing they wish. while
their elders can cool off at the hotel.

New York, July 4.-The Shamrock III

light winds by defeating Shamrock l
more than 81 minutes in an eleven mile
beat to wIndward. It was drifting
match in wind, averaging not better than
three or four miles an hour. If Shamrock
l, as reported. is ten minutes faster
than ever before in thirty-mile course,
today's performance of the new cup chal-
lenger was little short OF marvellous. To-
night the men on Sir Thomas fleet were
of the opinion that if the Reliance could
have beaten Shamrock III today the days
of miracles are not past. Changes that
vastly improved the new boat had evil

trial was planned to be over a thirty
mile course to the windward and back but
the wind held so light hat it was finished
after the yachts had sailed eleven miles to

GREEEsBO.o FEMALE COLLEGE.
Leading Church in Greensboro Evinces No In
terest in the Alumnae's Appeal.
Especial to News and Observer)

y
Greensboro, N c., July 6.-The Alumnae
of Greensboro Female College, issued an
appeal for help last week, and among
other requests, asked that pastors of
Methodist churches all over the State,
bring the matter to the attention of their
at the morning Sunday SER
vices.
At Centenary and Spring Garden Street
churches. in Greensboro yesterday, this
request was complied with.
At West Market Street church, one OF
the largest and wealthiest CONGREGATIONS
in the State, and probably the finest
church edifce, which is located in the
shadow of the college oaks almost, no
reference whatever was made to the col
lege at either service, nor asthe ap-
peal read or mentioned by the pastor.
Very naturally, the omission has caused
much comment, and while many declare
it was an oversight. others say it only
reflected on DR.. Turner'S true position in
the matter.
The members of the alumnae who are
so pobiy battling to save the college are
besinpinc to receive numerous and en-
couraging responses from all parts of the
state and from other States. Letters
have come from as far South as Mississip
nj and as far West as Nebraska.
! The position of the News and Observer
in the matter is greatly appreciated by the
friends of the college here, as is the kind
interest shown by other papers. The
strong and earnest stand for the college
by the News and Observer, however, has
been more remarked, and it is looked upo
as faithful and powerful alley in this
hour of dire peril
At 4 meeting of the alumnae on the
3rd instant. the following was unanimous
ly adopted:
can appeal to save Greensboro Female
College We. the undersigned members of
the Alumnae Association of the Green's
boro Female College, do hereby issue a

The Pope's Simple Tastes.

Rome, July 6.-The Pope was always
man OF extremely simple tastes, which
he brought from his childhood's home at
Carpineto and possibly his cautious tenn
perment curiously combined with power
and unhesitating decision, was inherited
from his mountaineer ancestors. For his
personal use he selected, instead of one
of the numerous magnificent suites of the
Vatican, few simple rooms containing
httle beyond absolutely necessary brl
ticles. His bed stands in an alcove. Sc
parated from a larger room by a cur
tain hanging gracefully over marble col
umns. Above the bed is a picture of
the Madonna and chilli. Beside it is a ta-
bic surmounted by crucifix. A ward
robe gainst the wall faces the bed, and
between the latter and the wall is a
couch. The rest of the room is used as
a study anu contains a writing table,
with a crucifix. a chair on a carpeted
platform, chairs and tables tor the Pope's
secretaries, writing materials and few
books, among which are the works of
Dante, Virgil and Horcae, besides a Bi-
BILE.
The Pope has just given striking proof
of his well known taste for the classics.
He has partly composed and partly cor
rected, new Latin poem, which he had
entrusted to Monsignor Angen, one of
his private secretaries, directing him to
to have it printed for publication and
adding
Il shall die happier in thinking that
something will remain of me that / have
done at the very last moment
The Pope, even when in good health
sleeps only four orr five hours each night.
and often in the morning his bed is un-
disturbed and the Pope is found asleep
in the very chair, before his writing ta-
bic, in which he now reclines
The only window of the combined bed
room and study of the Pontin overlooks
the collonade of the piazza of st. Peters
and the door of the rrooms opens into a
tiny private chapel Adjoining is a small
room. furnished only with an arm chair
and loungs where the Pope sometimes
takes an afternoon nap
The rooms are all on the same level az
the famous .oggia of Raphael.

so far as Rocky Mount is concerned, its

it. but the vote stood to @ The Rocky

meeting:
Hon B. II. Bum, acting attorney
for Shore, presented petition to the
borad signed by large, number of the
business men of the town. testifying TO
the character and fitness Of Mr. Shore
to run distillery.
"He presented another petition from
people living in the neighborhobd where
Shore has been operating testifying to the
good character of Shore and proper con-
duct of his distillery in that neighborhood.
Mr. Bum stated that he made for
NAL application under the Watts law for
license for his client, Mr.. Shore
Mr. L. v. Bassett arose and stated
that he appeared as attorney for the
others who would petition that license
be not granted.
REV. Braxton Craig arose and read
petition of 10 names asking that license
be not granted He also read petition
from the people in the neighborhood Of
the place distillery is being built ask
ing that license be not granted and one
from Mr.. ]. c. Strickland, living direct
" in front of the distiIIery, protesting
Mr.. Bassett then arose and addressed
the board in favor of refusing license He
made the point that it was not desired
to bring on fight on the whislxey ques-
tion and that he hoped the board would
not grant the license and thereby end
the matter at once. He made the point
that the State had seen At to drive the
distillers out of the country for lack OF
adequate police control and that if the
town allowed it to come in it would have
to throw around it police control and
that if the town allowed it to come in
it would have to throw around it police
protection and that it would cost the town
more to do this than it would bring
revenue.
Mr. Bassett was followed by Rev. DIR.
w. d. Morton, Rev. Dr. l.. l.. Nash
and Rev. Braxton Craig in addresses
praying the board not to grant IL
cense
Hon B. H. Bum then made the clos
ing speech in favor of granting license
The Rocky Mount Motor reviews the
matter at Length and says:
I'VE hove that the County Commission
ers will refuse license. We believe if
they do it will end agitation of the whis-
key question. and we believe majority
Of the people of the town will be glad
that the distillery is prevented from COM
ing, and also that a majority Of the peo-
pie viii then want the agitation to end"
AS result of this action it is now prac-
tically certain that Rocky Mount will
vote under the Watts act to put out "a

Board OF Pensions is in session today.
At present there are one hundred and
fifty Confederate soldiers on the pension
rolls of Guilford county, and one hundred
widows OF soldiers. Chairman j. w.
Scott, of the pension board, says that
from present indications, the number Of
deserving pensions will be considerably
larger for another year A physician
here who makes examination of appli-
cants for pensions of the United States
under the provisions of the Pritchard de-
serter, says that it was nothing unusual
for him at Washington to receive affi-
davlts of the existence of diseases, which
necessarily would have been fatal in three
months much less than forty years.
This also recalls an application to the
chief of police this morning by a negro
for death certificate for a body to be
shipped. He assured the officer that the
party did not die of a fatal disease.
