Being Dangerously Wounded.

Especial to News and Observer
Wilmington, n. c.. Sept. 21.-Eu-
gene Arlington, a negro waiter at the
Only restaurant on yesterday shot and
dangerously wounded William Jack
son, the negro cook. The shooting
was the result of a quarrel which took
place on Monday night.
1t seems that Jackson. who was
chief cook, had told Arlington that if
would be unnecessary for him to enter
the kitchen again as ne would not
fill any more orders for him. Alling-
ton was not inclined to obey the cook,
and he was urged by Richard Hunter,
the negro who has charge of the din
ing room, not to do SO. but to go in
the kitchen and get what he wanted
He proceeded to follow these tactics
and hence the shooting. Arlington
has been Locked up.

HAIR TELLS CHARACTER.
Color of Hair Said to Indicate q Per-
sons Temperament.

Many people believe that blonde, or
light hair denotes affection and dark
hair constancy. A person without hair
is not devoid of character; far from it.
The disposition of the average bald
headed man is to show such solicitude
for the welfare Of others, that he neg
lects himself. A germ causes badness.
