LEVEL HEADED.

Hon. Eugene Ware. Pension Commis- sioner of the United States is the funny man of the Roosevelt admins tration.
 Before he was called to his high, but unpopular station Honorable MT. Ware was a newspaper scribe. He was one of the many curiosities out in Kansas. He wrote poetry and had a reputation as a humorist.
 Recently The Advertiser commented on the pension department of the gov- ernment and this comment found favor with the Honorable MT. Ware, albeit he is a Republican.
 Hearken to him:

LET THE NEW SKYSCRAPER
 BE A BIG STAR BUILDING

1t and never in any way strengthening it. Shall the streets of Montgomery remain an unproductive dead weight
 Progress answers, Mo- (
 The disinterested capitalists who wish to help Montgomery have offered to pay s1,000 n year rental for the Court Square fountain site. a place from which the city now draws no rev. enue. Their generous offer gives ev- cry reason to believe that they would be willing to pay an additional $500 annually for the use of the i've streets which I have mentioned.
 These capitalists would not want the i've prongs of the Star Building to ex- tend more than two blocks in each di- rection.
 The proposed Star Building might close one or two of the streets in question and leave only a limited space for traffic in the others byt what of that? Only mossbacks will stand in the way of progress when she proceeds to progress.
 I submit this amendment to their plans to the public spirited gentlemen who are pushing the Court Square of flee building in absolute confidence that 1t will meet their hearty commen- dation. feel sure that the appropri- ate change which I have outlined will be instantly embodied in their plans '
 As for the conservatives, Let the heather rage. Progress.

Miller and DIR. John Spicer, singly
up either side aisle crossing at the
chancel and taking their positions
on either side: Then came down the
centre aisle the Maid of Honor, Miss
Sarah Kirby, the brides lovely SIS
ter, exquisitely gowned in white
and carrying a large bouquet of
sweet peas. She was followed by
the little flower girl, Miss Mary
Robinson, daughter of DR.. and Mrs.
M. E. Robinson, a ue1ce CT the bride,
and a perfect little cherub persona
fed. She, in turn, was followed by
the two little nephews of the bride
as pages, Masters Emmett Robinson
and Joseph Mack.
AS the Maid of Honor approached
the altar, the groom, Mr.. Edwin
Brownrigg Borden, Jr., was led
down the side aisle by his brother
and best man, Mr.. JnO. l.. Borden,
and in graceful pose of expectancy
awaited the approach of his bride,
Miss Ella Green Kirby, who always
beautiful was never more SO, OF SO
much so, as in her flowing bridal
robes, and carrying d shower bouquet
Of brides roses and lilies of the val
ley, she walked down the centre
aisle leaning On the arm of her
brother DR.. Geo. H. K]rby, while
all e rested on her in loving ad-
miration and abiding benedictions.
The ceremony, beautiful in its sim
| plicity and impressive in It's solemn
| 1ty, was performed by the BRIDES
bro1her-1n-Iaw, Rev. Edward Mack,
D. D., of Shreveport, La, assisted by
! the pastor of the church, Rev. f. w.
| Farr1es. Immediately afterwards the
| happy young couple, accompan-
| led by their scores of relatives and
| hosts of personal friends, were driven
to the depot, where, amid showers
| of rice and good wishes, they board
| ed the north bound train for an eX-
| tended bridal tour.
Neither invitations nor cards had
been issued to the happy event, and
vet the galaxy of bridal presents
that have flooded the home of the
| bride from near and far, costly, ex-
quisite, beautiful and useful, attest
most eloquently the substantial es-
TEEN in which these two young peo-
pie are held. The ARGUS has not
| words in which to add its own good
wishes-they are too sincere for ut
terance and abiding as life itself.

MR.. A. II. HUMPHREY DEAD
He Passed Away at His Home Yes
terday a tNoon.

Wednesday at noon the spirit of
Abedall HI. Humphrey took its
fight and returned to the God who
gave it, having lived beyond the al
lotted span, and more than a decade
over, being 80 years old.
Mr.. Humphrey had been in de-
Ginning health for some time and his
death was, therefore, not unexpect-
ed.
He was one of Goldsboro's oldest
landmarks, and n of its earliest
settlers, and a brave and true Con-
federate soldier, he was conversant
with and loved to talk of old times
before the war.
Mr.. Humphrey was a good, quiet,
honest man, true to his friends-of
whom he had maryland was ever
ready to lend a helping hand to any
in distress.
He has gone from among us, across
that bourne whence no traveller re-
turns. May his spirit rest in peace
in that home beyond the skies,
where joy and happiness reign SUI
preme, eternal in the heavens.
He leaves a devoted wife and one
daughter to mourn his death and to
these the ARGUS extends its sincere
sympathy.
He was a consistent member OF
the First Baptist church from early
manhood, from which church his
funeral was held Thursday afternoon
at 5 o'clock, conducted by the pas
tor, Rev. w. F. Fry.
Being and old and true Mason, his
funeral was conducted with Ma
sonic honors, and the interment wa,
made by the side of his first wifi
in Willow Dale Cemetery.

A NEW BUSINESS OFFICE
At the A. G. L. Depot Capt. Slo
cumb Paws the Office a Visit.

Mr.. FL. f. Price, the clever and
accommodating agent at the Atlantic
Coast Line depot, in this city, has
lust had a new business and private
Office built, in the northern end of
the freight depot, which is very
conveniently constructed, with of
flee window, shelves on which to
place books, stationery, etc.
This will givethe Office force much
more room than they now have and
enable them to transact the heavy
business of this road in a much more
satisfactory manner both to them
selves and their patrons as well.
The Office will also be fitted up
with new furniture, ard when it re-
ceives its finishing touches will pre-
sent a neat appearance.
While Mr.. Price was showing the
ARGUS man through the new Office,
our good friend, Capt. t. w. Slo-
cumb, who for many, many years
SO ably and a~cceptably filled the
place of freight agent at that place,
walked in to again view the sur.
roundings of the place he had SO long
"held down."
The Captain looked at home in
the office, where he had spent the
better part of his life, and said that
he loved to visit the place, as il
seemed so much like home to him
Long may he live to enjoy life:
richest blessings.

Brilliant Marriage Last Night of
Two of GOldSbOrO'S Most
Prominent Young
People.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Not in the history of our town has
a wedding occurred around which
clustered the personal interest and
good wishes of so many of our people
as was that which took place in the
Presbyterian church last night, for
the contracting parties are members
Of two of Goldsboro's oldest families,
and each embodying in their own
personality those virtues of character
and kindly consideration and help
fulness of others that have not only
made them so cordially esteemed by
all who know them, but have char
acterized their respective ancestry
since first the town was established.
It was not to be other than expected,
therefore, that the church should be
crowded beyond its capacity and its
every approach thrOnged not with
curious onlookers, but with royal
friends from all walks of life in our
community who came to lend their
presence in earnest good wishes on
the happy occasion.
The decorations of the church were
beautiful as a poets dream of beauty,
indescribable in words, and the work
of artist hands. The lights through
out the edifce were green tinted and
hung with trailing smylax, and the
| chancel was a solid bank and back
ground of palms and ferns,in the cen
tire of which was an immense bou-
quet of cut gladioli, so delicate and
lovely that the touch of a word
would but mar rather than convey
a conception of @eir beauty to the
reader, while over it all and from
either side candelabra shed their soft
lights, like myriads of stars cluster
ing around the altar of Love and
making brilliant the pathway thai
leads through the mystic gateway Of
marriage to that happiness which nc
man shall know in any other way
From behind the chancei decora-
lions the splendid pipe organ, un-
seen by the congregation, and dex-
terously presided over by Miss Daisy
ISmith, discoursed sweet music of ap.
propriate selection, which at the ap.
pointed hour of the ceremony, $50
O'Clock, glided into the always thrill
ing notes of Mendelssohn's Wedding

rlr. Albee's Opinion

Alpine, Cal., June 6.-Mr T. M. Albee, our postmaster has expressed an opinion based on his own eXper. fence which will no doubt be of inter- est to many. Mir. Albee is a man of few words, but his we'll known truth fitness and uprightness of character adds much weight to any statement he makes. He says:
 ''The first box of Dodd's Kidney Pills that I used convinced me of the good qualities and 1 used altogether four boxes with the very best results. 1 can heartily recommend this rem .edy.'
 This voluntary expression of opin- ion will doubtless find an echo in many homes in California for Dodd's Kidney Pills have been making some miraculous cures in this State.
 From evidence already published it seems safe to conclude that this medi- cine will be found to be perfect cure for Rheumatism, Urinary trouble, Backache and any and every form or symptom of Kidney Complaint.

Tn the days of Kit Carson the grizzly had not learned to look upon man as a foe to be slunned at any cost, but the quick firing magazine rifle has taught him that if he possibly can he must keep out of mans sight. He has now been driven back into the d. most inaccessible solitudes of the northwest Rocky Mountains, and the sportsmen who wishes to add his pelt and dangling necklace of claws to his collection of hunting trophies must travel far and endure much hardship and labor. for "old Ephriam." as he was called by the Western pioneers Is as cunning as he is. fierce.-St Nicholas.

THE SPIDERS LIFELINE.


 The more man learns of the ways of animals the more he respects them, and the more he feels that they are embodiments of the wisdom of the Gre ator as truly as man himself. There fore, although mans experiments with the mute creatures are sometimes a trifle hard on them, there is an ulti- mate gain in understanding and sym- pathy. A writer in the Hearth tells of an experiment he made on spider.
 1 took wash basin and fastened in 1t stick upright like mast, and then poured water enough to turn the stick into an island for my spider, which I named Crusoe. ..
 put him on the mast. As soo4 as he was fairly cast away he anxiously commenced running round to find the mainland. He would scamper down the mast to the water, stick out foot, get it wet, shake it, run round the stick and try the other side, and then run back to the top again.
 Pretty soon it became serious mat ter to Mir. Crusoe, and he sat down to think it over. As I was afraid he might be hungry, I put molasses on the mast. A fly came, but Crusoe wasn't hungry for flies just then. He was homesick for his web in the cor ner of the wood shed. He went slowly down the pole to the water and touch- ed it all around, shaking his feet as pussy does when she vets her stock ings in the damp grass.
 Suddenly thought appeared to strike him. Up he went, like rocket, to the top, and began to play circus. He held one foot in the air, then anoth- CT, and turned round two or three times.
 He got excited, and nearly stood on his head before found out what he had discovered, and that was that the draft of air made by the fire would carry line ashore on which he could escape from his desert island.
 He pushed out thread that went floating in the air, and heightened and heightened until at last it caught on the table. Then he hauled on the rope until it was tight struck it several times to see if it was strong enough to hold him, and walked ashore. l decided that he had earned bis liberty.

Eyes That Act Independently,

Many animals possess more than two eyes which do not act together. A leech, for example, has ten eyes on the top of its head which do not work in concert, and kind of marine worm has two eyes on the head and a row down each side of the body. Some liz erds have an extra eye on the top of the head which does not act with the other two. \ bee or wasp has two large compound eyes which possibly help each other and are used for near vision, and also three little simple eyes on the top of the head which are em- ployed for seeing things long way off.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- aition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is fnflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an unframed condition of the mucous services.
