Cornelius Harnett, Pride OF Cape Fear.
(By Hon. George Dayis.)

Adapted from an address delivered at
Chapel Hill, June 8. 1855:
There was one who shone like a stal
in the early trouble OF the State, of pure
and exalted character, of unsurpassed
influence with his countrymen, and the
value of whose services was only cquailed
by the extent of his sufferings and sac
rifices in the cause OF liberty. And yet
so l:ttle is he known that / doubt not,
gentlemen, many of YOU have not eve>.
so much as heard MS name. I speak Of
Cornelius Harnett, the pride of the Cape
Fear-'The Samuel Adams of the Cape
Fear To the shame of the State, his
birthplace has not heretofore been even
conjectured; and meagre as are the az
counts of his early history, they are full
of errors. He was born in 1852.
From 1865 to 1880 there was scarcely &
moment IN the patriot cause in which
Cornelius Harnett did not bear a con
spicuOus part. And Il bare enumeration,
OF the appointments which he filled, and
of the men with whom he was associated.

THUS IN SUBSTANCE
Its Attacks On the News and Observer
are Dictated by Boss. Expert
Testimony Given Tho.
Proves The ksser-

Mr.. Henry A. Page sends US yupy of
the following letter, which he has sent
to the Post with the request: "Since you
are interested 1 would like you to publish
the above" The letter is as follows:
To the Editor of The Post:
Your editorial in tcday's paper headed
ga Gross Slur on the State Press" has
been called to my attention. l am not
= sure that your reporter quotes ne with
exact accuracy, but We will not quarrel
about that-let it stand as he puts 1t.
l am made to say, in substance. that
the papers twist and distort evidence to
suit their own views of the matter under
investigation, and so as to make it sup
port as strongly as may be their own side
OF the question.
First explaining that l had The Post
and News and Observer only in nina
when the statement was made, 1 insist
upon the exact accuracy OF my observa-
tion.
For years and years these two papers
have filled their editorial columns with
abuse OF each other, and but little else.
Taking the cue from their chiefs, the re-
porters OF both have sought to make
their stuff carry the color of the edto,
rial column.
Speaking again very frankly, may say
thdt III my OlHHlOu. yOUI Olt-ISPSdttIl
declarations that my friend Daniels leans
to populism and fusion and that sort
of thing is pretty nearly true, and l am
also convinced of the truth of his charge
that the tenor of your editorials comes
to yorh from higher up. | am inclined
TO think that most of those who read
both papers will agree with me that
your charges against each other have
contained much truth.
Now these two papers, The Post and
The News and Observer were the only
ones, SO far as / have heard, that wished
or proposed to have reporters present
during the investigation of the a and
y. c. r. f. 1t there is any man in the
State who believes that either would have
treated the witnesses and the committee
fairly in their reports and comments froo
day to day, then perhaps the committee
mads mistake in excluding them. For
myself, and Judging by the past, l an.
quite sue that both would have colorcd
things to suit themselves. We did hope
and want to do this job fairly and thor
oughly, therefore these reporters were
excluded.
Now, having placed myself between
the lines and in the way of the cross fire
you have been shooting at each other
for years, fire away, both OF you, and
may the best shot score the fist hit. My
hide is pretty tough, and / am sure the
reading public will thank me for giving
both OF you q new target.
Yours, etc.

TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL OUTING

To the Officers, Members and Friends of the Eastern Star Chapters of Con- necticut: Your committe have ar ranged to hold the annual outing, this year, at Savin Rock, on Wednesday, August 3l, rather than at Forest Park, Waterbury, owing to the many unfa- vorable reports of the latter place. Many new attractions have been added to the pleasures of "The Rock" mak- ing it an ideal place for days outing. The trolley company have kindly do- hated the use of the theater for the business meeting and all are asked to assemble there at II o'clock sharp. As good shore dinners, at 50 cents each, can be obtained at Wilcox Pier restaurant, Putnam's and the Hotel Sea View, at any time during the day after 12 o'clock, noon, the committee have not arranged to order for anyone. More expensive dinners are served at the Beach House, Hills Homestead and Cox's Surf House. The ConsOli- dated road will furnish half fare re- turn certificates which will be issued by the committee between the hours of 10 and II and and 3, at the head. d quarters, in the parlOrs of Hotel Sea View. 1t is hoped that each chapter in the state will be we'll represented and that all will have a pleasant and enjoyable time in celebrating the natal day of the founder of the order. Fra ternally yours,-[Walter Pond, Chair. man, Annie l.. Wolcott, Secretary, 735 Dixwell avenue, New Haven, Ct.

Scientists tell us that man is sus- piciOuS animal, because in the various stages of evolution between the ape and man as he is to- day, man has been obliged to defend himself against all creation for self-preservatiOn. If he was bitten by an animal, man ever af- ter avoided that animal, or else sought to exterminate it. That is why, in these days, many men look upon mark down sales with suspicious eye. Hav- ing once been bitten by shark, dis guised as a merchant, all merchants look like sharks to him when they an- nOunce sale. Yet there are sales and sales. There are many bona fide sales, in which genuine price reduc- tions bring wise buyers excellent bar gains. Such sales are invariably an- nounced over the name of a firm of re- pute and known for fair dealing. Such a sale is now being conducted by Meigs & Co. of Bridgeport, in which notable reductions are announced on all brOk en lines of fancy suits for men, as well as on many lines of suits for boys and children. One has only to examine the offerings in this sale to be satisfied that reductions are genuine, and that the bargains are what they appear to be. It is the course of wisdom, there fore, to investigate the rich bargains now to be found at the store of the well-knOwn firm, if one is the least interested in being we'll dressed or in saving money.

The more reports come of what Miss McClaran has accomplished elsewhere and of the truly gifted artist that she has shown herself to be, the more thorough is the conviction that New town people are. to have, this week, one of the rarest treats which they have ever enjoyed. In all the plays which she gives, s'The Sign of the Cross, " ''The Christian Shore Acres, '' ..Romeo and Juliet," "Under Two Flags,'' and others, embraclng large number of fcharacters, ( |iss McClaran shows the marvellous range of her genius; at no one place in any one play does she drop for moment from the high grade of character delineation which is her gift. Her graceful poise, her flexible voice, her tone of authority, her skill of interpretation are of an order that please and attract from start to close of an evening.
 Prof Ross Jewell, who has heard Miss McClaran render "Romeo and Juliet, !" is most enthusiastic in her praise, and is anxious that the High school pupils who are to have three classes in Shakespeare study the coming year, shall hear her. The evening will be an education to the High school pupils and to all others, and yet the enter tainment is not so heavy but that it will be thoroughly popular. There are to be no reserved seats. Every seat in the hall will be B cents, and the tick cts are for sale by children and at the store of R. H. Beers & Co.

SOCIAL TOPICS. SANITARY CONDITIONs.-BY o. o.
 WRIGHT.

We are struck with wonder when we reflect how much science can do for us, and how little, as yet, we avail ourselves of it's most practical and much needed benefits. Science can places of abode; suitable food in place of unwholesOme compounds; pure air rather than polluted atmosphere; conn forta bic clothing instead of i'll adapted covering and protection. Science can teach us what crops to raise, and how to bring them to the highest perfec- tion. Science applied saves us time and labor, and gives us leisure, wisdom and comfort. But it is some little trouble and expense to be scientific.
 The season of extreme heat is prob ably the most difficult and dangerous period of the year, so far as health is concerned. Heat hastens decompOsi- tion, and the decay of vegetable or ease which may be taken into the sys- tenn with food, or in water, or from the atmosphere. The effects of heat itself, upon the human physiology are such as to invite diseases, or disorders of the bodily functions. It is prudent to keep cool, both as to the blood and the mind, so far as it may be practica' ble.
 Every>household should be on guard to insure health. The sanitary con- ditions of our homes are largely under our own control: and if our neighbOrs are breeding pestilence which may come to us on the wings of the winds, or in the waters of the running brooks, we should complain to the health Of- fcers of the town, county, or state as may be best.
 Kitchen waste should be carefully and faithfully disposed of by burying, or by burning, unless it may be con. stunned promptly by animals which must be properly cared for or they will endanger the health of the neighbor. hood more than the uncovered heaps of garbage. Fire and earth are the great purifying clements. Burn all | the refuse you can, unless you have plenty of soil in which to bury it. | Earth to earth, ashes to ashes" is the great law of sanitation. Sinl drains, and all places of filth should be disinfected with fresh soil, carbolit acid, or slaked lime. But best of all is a kitchen-burial-lot.
 The least bit of common sense ought to keep people from polluting our streams of running water, which are the coolers and purifiers of the air we must breath day and night. It is only in partly civilized communities that the people empty their sewage into the street-gutters. and dump their garbage, ashes and old tin-ware by the roadsides, or into the river. Intelli gent people know better than to en danger their own lives, and the lives of their neighbOrs by making ceSspools of the ponds and brooks, or by running the slops of the sink into the streets The highways and the water-courSes belong to the public for the mutual convenience and comfort of all, anC should be kept clean and inviolate.
