Reports from Cape Fcar,life saving
station, at the mouth Of Cape Fear

OF the schooner Clarence H., small
coasting vessel bound from Shallotte,
N. c., to Wilmington, -and the drown
Ing OF the captain and crew Of two
men, and two passengers. The body
OF one OF the passengers, local fisher

He Murdered Her.

1T became known recently that the
leading female dancer at the Metrop-
oils theatre, FFai1lein ETieda Boeike,
was murdered at hotel In Cologne,
December q, by Ferdinand Tessler, a
manufacturer Of machinery at Vichy,
France, who had several times been
nationalist candidate for member OF
the chamber Of deputies. They were
engaged to be married and had dined
together at the hotel and quarreled
in a. private sitting room because the
woman had looked too frequently,
Tessier sthought, at another man in
the dining room. He tried to chloro-
form the dancer, but she was a strong
woman and pushed him Off: Tessier
then took o hatchet, which he had
concealed about him, and struck the
woman once Intellectually and then
stabbed her fatally three times With
a dagger. The hotel people heard the
struggle and rushed to the spot,
.whereupon Tester, ;with9his bac k to
the door, shot and killed himself.

IssAsi 8 sats Sc y
81 ~ lspat tch from ing J tIsYs SAYS
the sensspao r is
the national capital is concerned, Is
the attack npo q Presid dent r Roosevelt
contained In an editorial of the Cin-
Gina ii Commercial tribune, the lead
ing 3Repu blican organ OF the Buckeye
State. The publication of the edito-:
rialtin the local papers has given rise
to a discussion which has completely
overshadOwed the Wood case, the.
Presidents message and everything
else. 81 S. !, .sSVs
The Commercial Tribune comes out
bodily for. the nomination OF some
other man to be the iRepub blican stand. !.
ard bearer In the presidential contest,
pointing with brutal frankness to the
weakness OF President Roosevelt, the
party dissatisfaction with him, and
the extreme danger OF going into the
contest with him as leader. Special
stress is laid upon the conditions In
New York, which, The; Commercial
Tribune thinks, render 1t practically
impossible for Roosevelt to carry that
State. There Is no mention of any
other man in particular, though half
Il dozen are named as more likely than
the prisident to unite his party.
More than ordinary interest is taken
in this attack because of the known
affiliations Of the newspaper. Itis re-
Garded the personal organ; of George
b. Cox, the big Republican. boss OF
southern Ohio, who lssvery close In
deed to Senator Hanna, and suspicious
administration politicians are inclined
to see the fine italian hand Of Uncle
Marcus back Of the whole thing. Some
Of them cOnstrue it as simple q means
OF forcing the president to let up on
his fight for General Wood, while 9TH
ers see In it the beginning OF syste-
matlc campaign In the interest Of
Hanna.
AT the white house the Commercial
Tribune is sneered at as Of no conse-
quence, but those who understand
Ohio politics and have a knowledge of
the interests which control that paper
are of the opinion that their may be
serious breakers ahead for Roosevelt.
So far Senator Scott, Of West Vir-
ginia, is about the only Republican Of
lice. holder Of prominence who has had
the temerity to proclaim that he Is for
Hanna above Roosevest, but there are
a great many others who are anxious
for an opportunity to line up that
way. 1t is not too much to say that
the present Indications are that they
may have the opportunity.

Willimantic, Conn, elected full
Democratic ticket Wednesday for the
first time in ten years. Oscar 0. Tan.
ner was chosen Mayor, and two thirds
or the Democratic candidates for the
City Council we're elected. The fact
THAT Norwich, New London, Norwalk.
bridgeport, Hartford, Ansonia and
Derby have gone Democratic at their
last elections has alarmed the Repub.
lican party managers, who fear that
the sweeping gains at the city cleo
tions may be the forerunners Of Demo-
cratic victory at the State and ma
tional elections next year.

Did Not NIind-It.

When Daniel Webster's market man
had sued him for long unpaid bill
and got his money he was SO scared at
his temerlty that he stopped calling
at the door for orders. Webster asked
him why, one day, and the man con-
fessed that he supposed Mr.. Webster
would never trade with him again.
On" said Webster, sue me as often
as you like, but for heavens sake don't
starve me-" There was never a time
when the great man was not willing
20 owe as mnch as anybody was will
ing to let him owe.

a dispatch from Boston. Mass.. savs a,lls
tne wages OF ] s, 1000 cotton mill opera,
tiyes were reduced about i o per- cent
last week in New Bedford, FItcbburp. !.
Baltic Conn. Taftville, Conn, !, Fisfis
Vile, Mass, aud Pawtucket, r. d.
sIne total number: Of mill hands who
have had their pay lowered up to the
present time is about 1000 Five
thousand additional operatives In
,Berkshire county were given notice
that their pay will be cut next week:
Most OF the mills which have partici-
pated In the cut to date follow the
course Of the Fall River schedule
adopted on November 3Oth. About
IL, 600 OF the employees affected by
last weeks cut are employed in5s New
Bedford mills. X zs5;5si S5ssss3, i.
There ls much uncertainty in.this
section as to the future conduct Of
the mills, and while the operatives
are willing TO submit to the reduc-
tion rather than be idle they do not
know just whatwill transpire Within
the next few weeks. According to
some reports a majority OF the mills
-Ns - : y 1SeoSoh vi shAuut DuU ~ H. kQOWQ
that the supply is limited. With the
high price of the staple spinners de-
clare that they cannot manufacture
without serious loss, and the general
feeling Is that If the operatives should
take the Initiative and 90 on strike
the plants In this section would shut
down Indefinitely. The Statement;
was made last week by one of the pro-
minent mill presidents that the reduc.
tion of Wages was to be regretted, but
under existing conditions it was in
evituabie. 80 a75 IS IS. A57,,..i
Just what would happen In the
event that the mills should close ia
difficult to realize. A famine would
be almost sure to follow and the thou
sands Of operatives would face starya-
tion. It is believed, however, that
with the cut in the pay and by cur
taiiing production the mills will be
able to live through the present fin
anCfal troubles. 80 a; = rs 4, g
