BOSTON GOT ITS BEANS.
Absence Of Favorite Dish Once Threat.
ened City, But Striking Bak-
ers Took Pity.

1t has never been successfully dis.
puted, says the Boston Waterman, that
Bostonians are extremely addicted to
baked beans with their orthodox and
lnseparable companion, brown bread)
and to pie. But no one has hitherto set
tied which of the two held the higher
place, or, in other words, which is more
necessary to the maintenance Of truly
Boston life at the proper point of Gull
ture and coldness. The decision of this
delicate and difficult yet delightfully."- in
teresting question, which has success
fully defied in the past both the literary
skill and intellectual powers of the city,
has been left for solution to the exigen-
cies of the modern industrial problem.
In the recent strike of 1 400 bakers Bos-
ton was compelled to go pie hungry for
days. But when Saturday night ap-
preached and the dreadful possibility
Of Boston being compelled to
face Sunday morning without baked
beans, the hearts and coDsciences of the
bakers were stirred, and they made a
special and extraordinary effort to sup
ply the city with its habitual Sunday
breakfast. while no such emo
lion was elected by the sufferings in
cident to the lack of pie.

Radium Runs Clock.

The radium clock of Harrison Mar.
tindale, English physicist, practically
gives perpetual motion through the
dissipation of negatively charged rays
A small quantity of radium supported
in an exhausted glass vessel by q
quartz rod, is placed in a small tube,
to the lower end of which is attached
an electroscope of two long strips of
silver. The activity of the radium
causes an electric current minus beta
rays to be transmitted to the silver
strips, which expand until they touch
the sides of the vessel, when earthed
conducting wires instantly discharge
them and they fall together. This is
repeated every two minutes, making
time in beats of that duration, and,
theoretically, the action will continue
until exhaustion of the radium-in this
case computed to be 10000 years in
the future.

French scientists have discovered By

yellow or green was known to vary with
the food, this was colored artificially
and worms eating dyed privet leaves
yielded cocoons of corresponding red
blue or other color. Plants have beer

DEATHS HARVEST.



Mrs Sarah Morgan Pride. wife OF
DIR. j. S. Pride. died At the home OF
her daughter. Mrs Annie Tomlinson,
on the morning of July 10. 1904. She
was born at Milton. Tenn, Nov. %.
1887. What the sixty-seyen years Of
her life contained Of good. none but
those nearest and dearest can tell. OF
evil no man can tell. for of evil there
was none. She was not a part of a
great world of people. but a most i'm
poItant member of her little world
that loved her.
Possessed of a mind of strength, a
character noble and brave. a spirit
sweet and gentle. she was woman good
and true. Though she had never
made any profession of religion, she
lived the life of christian. which is.
after ALL the best. A constant Bible
student, Obedient to its precepts. she
was ready for the tulfillment of its
blessed promises-in which she had so
much faith. The marked passages and
written comments in her Bible reveal
the feelings In heI heart, the faith in
her soul. Yet that was not all nor yet
the best Her faithful performance
of duties as wife. mother, grandmother
and neigbhor bespeaks her true SELF
and not once did she falteI. Death
came to her quickly, seemingly in an
sweF TO her desires TO be busy and use
full to the end. The bereaved husband |
is robbed of his heart s dearest treas |
IRE, bat he feels that that treasure is |
safe and awaiting his claim some |
future day. The children will never
cease to long for the dear mothers |
presence, to listen for the sound of her
cheerful voice. The grand children
will never forget the loving gIandma's
tender help and care, especially the
fIail little Carl, that received the last
caress she ever gave tho no one
dreamed that In less than an hour the
arms would lose theiI power to en-
brace, the lips their power to caress.
The funeral service was conducted
at the home by Rev. T. A. Wharton of
Columbia. and the body was laid away
In the Camp Ground cemetery.
Flowers covered the grave and some
how one felt that her fower-loving
heart must be glad.

Surely such a road, such trees, such
flowers, could not be part and parcel of
the same world as the stuffy flats, and
pavements and slush and clamor. This

more graceful than ever, on her bicycle.
How we'll she rode, and how well she

Would it, could it last? How good 1t
would be to have her always SO; her life
moving with his, as moved their wheels.
1t was sweet even to be near her-sweet-

to be alive, and have such companion,
to feel the strong mechanism under one

The impress of the city fell from him; he
felt himself a new man, with body and |

of it, he whispered:

A LITTLE DREAM.


Herbert Lane leaned from his chair

ling fire. He rubbed HE hands in appre-
citation Of its CHEEKY warmth as he
lazily dropped back into his seat. A
wood fire is luxury indeed on a slushy
March night, when winters icy clasp
is still barely unloosed. The merry rush
and sputter OF the flames drives away
the little blue devils that come a-haunt-
ing one when the days work is done,
and physical activity gives place to cares
Of wider scope than the mere routine of
details engender.
A nasty lot of little devils had swarmed
about Lane earlier in the evening. They
had perched themselves on every niche,
in every crevice and angle of the room,
mocking him with goblin glee. But

and improving friend: the letter from his

times convey news of more than ordi-
nary interest. One brief paragraph had
helped to rout the little blue devils. ard

the nothingness whence they came
for the time, at least The paragraph in
question ran thus:
Naomi Winston has promised to visit
me next month down here, when the
weather will be better. You remember
her, know-visited me last year"
Remember her! Could he forget?
That was the question. The clear, hazel
eyes, that sparkled on occasion; hermod-
esty, her wit. 1t all came back with an
odd rush of little things--nothing that |
he scarcely knew he cherished.
I'm afraid" the letter went on, "it |
may be bit dull, unless you can drop |
things and come down. You are get

Port Au Prince, Hayti, Aug. 4.-The
city of Port Au Prince is in a state of
great disorder. Bands of soldiers
throwing stones prevent the Svrians
from re-opening their stores. Ameri-
can citizens have hoisted the stars
and stripes over their residences, and
a number of them have sought re-
fuge in the American legation, driv-
ing there in carriages carrying Ameri-
can flags, pursued by the popuIace
throwing stones after them.
owing to the energetic remons-
frances of the diplomatic corps the
government has decided to take meas

tants and strong patrols of police have
been sent to protect the Syrian stores.
After the disorders of the morning
Mr.. Powell, the American minister
went to the palace and demanded of
President Nord that the government
should take immediate action to stop
the disorders. and to protect all for
eigners and their property, demand
ing especially that American interests
be protected.
The president sent for the minister
of the interior and the military gov

and for this purpose to send troops
and police to the disturbed districts.
President Nord assured Minister
Powell that the lives and property
of foreigners would be protected, and
said he would see that their business
did not suffer damage.
After the interview at the palace,
Minister Powell. Alexander Battiste

STORY OF "A STRANGE CRIME.
What Was the Motive for the Killing
of the Woman?
(Special to News and Obseryer)

Especial to News and Observer
ASheville, n. c., Aug. Al. g..
Gardner, of Brunswick who is in the
city, brings a strange tale of II revolt
ing crime which was committed in
Madison county last Saturday, the bru-
tai murder of Il woman, Mr.. Gardeners
informant was a boy of 10 or 20
named Crowder, the son of the woman
who was slain. His story is substan
TALLY as follows:
Last Sunday morning man named
John Pate appeared at the house of Il
family named Rice, in Madison coun-
ty and asked if the inmates of the
house knew where he could find Mrs.
Crowder. They told him she was not
there, but they thought she was at a
house which they described to him.
The next authentic chapter in the
story comes from a house near the
mountain between California Creek
and Upper Laurel. The woman of the
house heard some one grooming, as if
in pain and going out discovered Mrs.
CrOWder. She had been shot in the
hand, the bullet ranging to the elbow,
and had wounds of a serious nature
in the region of the abdomen. She re-
gained consciousness and stated that
Pate had shot her and stamped her.
Before her death, however, Pate ar
rived on the scene. The woman said
he had carried her to the place where
she was found, and that he had met
ner on the top of the mountain above
mentioned.
Pate had been to another house in
the neighborhood and stated that he
had seen nothing of Mrs. Crowder.
When he arrived at the place where
she lay dying, it is alleged he forced,
or influenced her to make a confess

died shortly after, making this confess
sion, which her son declares Pate
forced her to make. Such is the story
as related by young Crowder Pate is
now i'll Yancey county. Mrs. CroWder
was Il widow. The story told by her
son gives no light whatever on the mo-
tive for the crime, Mr.. Gardner says.
Work was commenced on Asheville's

seven of the eight persons in the boat
were drowned through the capsizing
of the little craft. Mr.. Vedito. of

The name of the other victim can

The accident occurred in Annapolis

1t appears that when the yacht
grounded on the bar a half a mile
from land all occupants of the yacht
got on board their tender and began
to row toward shore.
The little boat was swamped by her
heavy load.
