Removes the Close Smell.

To remove a close, old" smell from
room, it is necessary to take up the
carpet or mating If there should hap
pen to be either. The carpet should
be beaten and fumigated by letting It
lie on the ground for several days, re-
moving it at night. Finally, it should
be covered thickly with dry salt. al
lowed to stay in the sun for several
hours, then swept thoroughly. Before
replacing, scour the floor in hot water
and carbolic acid. The walls, II pa
pered, should be stripped and washed
with chloride OF lime. If painted, scrub
with carbolic acid soap. When dry
have them repainted or papered. II
all this is performed thoroughly there
should he perfect freshness and clean

Fibre braid and fibre lace are both
fairly irresistible.
Coats fit more closely to the figure

Kimonas in gay-colored warm mate

Dainty muslin curtains are the

Epaulette effects are noted on every
thing from shirt waists to coats.
Among the temptations must be
reckoned bargain crepe de chine.
A queer little necktie bow of velvet
ribbon finishes some magnificent hats.
The wide, draped, pointed belt is one
of the fashion features of the season.
The sham skirt of a generation or so
ago is seen in some of the imported
models.
There are enough sorts of buttons to
dazzle the seeker after this sort OF
adornment.
A lovely princess dress shows the
fullness about the waist line shirred in
glrdle effect.
Mixed rough goods, with a little
fieck of color in them, are very smart
for walking gowns.

To wear with cloth skirts waists of

bands of the cloth are very swagger

To Prevent the sourina Of MIX.

Experiments in Sweden have shown
that the we'll known effect of thunder
storms in souring milk may, in great
degree, be avoided or counteracted by
artificial heat in the dairy. The plan
Is to start a fire in the room where the
milk is kept whenever a thunder storm
is seen approaching. This is done
even in hot weather. the purpose be-
ing to drive out the excess of mois-
ture. The explanation given Is that
during the approach of such storms the
atmosphere becomes loaded with mois-
tHre. and the damp. moist, heavy air
resting upon the milk produces acidi-
ty and spoils 1t.

The Legislature yesterday acted
promptly in ordering the committee on
Penal Institutions to make a thorough
investigation of the charges of cruelty
against the management of the peniten-
tiary, growing out of a letter written by
Mr. Bird of Marion. The charges are
grave and the men who prefer them
should be at once invited to substantiate
them by evidence or to publicly withdraw
them. The Senate resolution passed
within twenty minutes after that body
was called to order, and within forty
six minutes after both houses were in
session the resolution had been adopted
engrossed, ratified, and signed.
The committee should have at once a
full examination, taking all the testi-
mony that can be secured at Marion and

NEW SUPREME COURT,

Yesterday the Supreme Court of North
Carolina became new Supreme Court,
with a new Chief Justice and two new
Associate Justices. 1t changes the 90
liticaI complexion of the court. Hereto
fore it has been composed of four Re-
publicans and one Democrat. Today it
is composed of three Democrats and two
Republicans. The two Republicans will
retire two years from now. They are
the lone remnants of the Republican VIC
tories in North Carolina.
The two new Associate Justices-Hon.
Henry G. Connor and Hon. Platt ID.
Walker-are easily among the first law
yers North Carolina has produced in d
generation. Justice Conner won reputa-
tion as a Superior Court Judge. Justice
Walker has never before had judicial
experience. Both have long commanded
leading places at the bar. both are able
and we'll furnished lawyers, with mark
ed fitness for their judicial labors. The
now Chief Justice-Hon. Walter Clark
is easily one of the first men of his
generation, and his elevation to his high
office by a practically unanimous vote
of his party attests the high place he has
in their regard and confidence.

WORK is NEEDED.

To the advocates of effective temper
ance legislation Do not let up in your
efforts. The gathering in Raleigh last
week made a profound impression.
The temperance advocates have re-
turned to their homes. The lawyers, who
appear before committees and avow their
attorneyship, have also gone home. There
remain in Raleigh a small army of
agents and lobbyists, some of whom
have license to practice law, lobbying
against any legislation not favored by
the saloon keepers and distillers. Most
OF these pretend to be here on other bus
mess. 1t is these secret agents who are
doing the most effective work. Nobody
listens even to an able man who admits
that he is paid to fight temperance leg
islation. They correctly consider him
as merely speaking for his client.

legislation need to realize that they will

A RaILROAD MARES NEST.

The Morning Post, organ Of the South
ern Railway, ran on schedule time on
Sunday 1t had half a column miSrepre-
senting the News and Observer. 1t
thought it discovered a mares nest. The
editor of this paper, who was present
at the hearing on the Fuller bill, quoted
Mr.. Henry Miller (sub-Bo of the Post)
as saying: Il do not see why people
should put credence in what subordinate
railroad employees say" The local re-
porter of this paper, not pretending to
quote Mr.. Miller's exact words, which
are as quoted above, wrote that Mr..
Miller said "such reports should not be
credited when they came from subordin-
ates." There is no difference in the two
reports any more than there is a diff
ference between tweedledee and tweede-
dunn. But it gave the Post a chance to
write a half column of falsehood about
this paper That is what it is estab-
lished to do and it gets its money from
its Southern Railway bosses for such
exhibitions In the meantime, whenever
the Post emits such a scream from its
wheezy engine the people say, did you
hear the engine on the Southern Railway
side track blowing?"

TOO MUCH SPEAKING
Judge George H. Brown Gives
Result of Long Experience.
He Thinks the Argument Should be Limited as
in a Number of Speeches in Capital
Cases as Well as Others.

TO The Editor-Senator Webb's bill to
limit argument before juries is step
in the right direction. / am sure that is
the opinion of nine tenths of LAWYERS in
the State. l tried a capital case in
which thirteen speeches were announced
but by persuasion | procured some to
be omitted. | tried a case involving $45
In which some eight or ten speeches We're
made. 1t is not so much the fault or
the lawyers as the law A litigant gets
nervous about his case and employees all
the lawyers he can get and insists that
each of his lawyers make d speech. The
lawyers cannot we'll refuse. If the law
did not permit it, he could SO inform his
client.
Mr.. Webb's bill omits capital felonies.
II this he is in error. There is more
abuse and waste of time in those cases
than any other. | have known the in
PRODUCTION of evidence in a capital case
to take scarcely a day and the argument
three days. I have had persons complain
to me at the recess about SO many
speeches, repeating the same facts and
arguments over and over again.
All good lawyers know that two strong
speeches for the defense in capital cases
are more effective and better by far for
the prisoner than dozen.
One great reason why capital cases
should be included in some reasonable
limitation as to number of speeches is
that the jury must be closely confined
and fed and cared for by the county. This
is a heavy expense.
l don't think that the time of an argu-
ment to the jury should be limited, but
simply the number of arguments. 1t is
embarrassing to a lawyer to know he
may be cut off in the middle of a sen
tence Some reasonable legislation in
the furtherance of Senator Webb's idea
will save the counties of North Carolina
many thousands of dollars each year in
hard cash they now pay out for court
expenses without at all injuriously af-
fecting any ltigant.
1t is generally conceded that the Act
of 1874, Code section 80, was enacted in
consequence of an alleged unjust cur
tailment of the time of one attorneys
speech in Johnston county by Judge Sam
uel Watts. 1t was not intended to de-
prive the court of the power to limit the
number of speeches to be made in one
case but the Supreme Court put that
upou II many JSNiS @'oO'
I append a bill which I wish you would
publish. From long judicial experience,
l think it Just and conservative.
