night there will be inaugurated at the
hotel and of weekly recurrence fea-

long been in vogue at the leading no.
has, to some extent, been adopted in
the Eastern States-where it is becom-
ing popular. Reference is made to the
table d'hote French-course dinners, of
which many of our travelled readers
will call to mind pleasant recollections.
The table d'hote system in itself is, of
combined with scrupulous excellence.
course, nothing new; but the distin-
gushing characteristics of these French
course dinners are their simplicity.
No, profuse bill of fare is submitted to
the guest, who is relieved of the neces-
sity of making selections from a too
numerous variety of dishes. The
courses are served in their regular or
der, each one consisting of a single
special dish, in the preparation of which
the utmost care has been bestowed to
have it ready near the exact time re-
quired. The dinner will be served in
the open cir dining cafe at $50 p. m.
The viands will be served hot and
fresh; there will be no long delays;
things viii be kept moving. and an
agreeable curiosity will be engendered
in the mind of the guest as to what is
coming next; each successive course be-
ing in the nature of surprise.
Tonight will witness the first of these
delightful dinners, and the intention is
to repeat them every Saturday even
ing, at the same hour, commencing with
Saturday, 9Th inst, always accom-
panied by the melodious strains of the
Hawaiian Quintette Club. 1t will at
least be a change from the regular
routine of hotel dinners; and it is be-
lieved by the hotel management that
local and transient society will alike
appreciate the innovation.
The tendency in the present day. both
at private functions and at first class
hotels, is to affect quality, rather than
quantity. To afford some idea of what
these dinners will be, the management
have handed us the following menu,
which is now being prepared for this

BILE that He should suffer for us; for We
were the sheep wandering away on the
mountains, dark and cold; and He was
the Shepherd who came to seek and to
save that which was lost. How q COM
munity will arouse itself when . little

+. Colestock, in Baptist Standard. Men
and boys leave their tasks undone, some
In their haste even neglect to eat their

house they learn what they can Of the
direction taken by the little child. All
night long they search the hillsides with
lanterns and torches forgetful Of the
privation of Sleep forgetful of fatigue
and bruises and torn garments. And
why do these men thus spend the night,
and even glad in their
toilsome service? All! the answer is
not hard to find. The peril Of the little
child has touched the deepest springs of
their hearts, and their nights search IL
a labor Of love. With what Joy they re-
turn in the morning. The child had

Christ came to seek and to save the
lost. And in doing this He suffered: He
could not do otherwise. He is seeking
and suffering all the time. And He will
continue to do this until the end of time.

suffer for the redemption of the world.

His followers are impenitent men awak-
ened to turn from their sins and md

WHAT MONEY CANNOT BUY
The Song from a Jail Cell Which
Wrought Transformations
in Mems Lives.

The following touching incident, a re-
cent occurrence In a western county
fail. as related by keeper, is retold with
the hope that the good work begun that
night may go on and on.
Last evening, just before the Hgntf
went out in all the rooms OF the county
fail, and while the prisoners on the
ground floor were gathered in the cor
ridors telling coach stories, utterine
oaths and indulging in the low, vulgar
conversation SO often heard among
many who go to make up the crowd In
the Jail, the attention Of the boisterous
throng was suddenly arrested by the
sound of a strong, sweet baritone voice
singing Something Money Cannot Buy,
which came from one OF the rear cells.
In q moment every sound was hushed
except the sweet voice OF the vocalist
singing:
Gold hath its powers, ahges will say:
Riches in life hold q wonderful sway.
But there's power that halls from above.
Richer and grander-powrer OF love!
There strolls q noble, money and land.
Lives in a mansion, costly and grand.
Yet he's unhappy, no one knows why.

A PRACTICAL ARGUMENT.
How One Woman Made Her Husband
Realize the Evil Of His Drink
Habits.

Truesdell to his wife. as she entered the
liquor store.
1T was very lonesome at home. and
your business seldom allows you to be
there" replied his meek and resolute
wife. ITO me there is no company like
yours, and as you cannot come to me,
l must come to you. l have right to
share your pleasures as we'll as your sor-
rows"
But to come to such a place as this!"
expostulated Tom.
mo place can be improper where my
husband is" said poor Mary.
Whom God hath Joined together let
no man put asunder."
She took up the glass Of spirits, says
the National Advocate, which the sa-
loonkeeper had just poured out for her
husband.
Surely you are not going to drink"
said Tom in establishment.
why not? You say that you drink
to forget sorrow, and surely have sor-
row to forget"
Woman, woman, you are not going
to give that stuff to the children!" cried
Tom, as she was passing the glass OF
liquor to them.
why not? Can children have bet
ter example than their fathers? Is not
what is good for him good for them also?
1t will put them to sleep and they will
forget that they are cold and hungry.
Drink, my children, this is fire and bed,
and food and clothing Drink; you see
how much good it does your father. :"
With seeming reluctance, Mary suffered
her husband to lead her home, and that
night he prayed long and fervently that
God would help him break an evil habit
and keep a newly formed but firm reso-
luton.
His reformation was thorough, and
Mrs Truesdell is now one of the happiest
of women, and remembers with melan-
choly pleasure her first and last visit to

A MOST NEEDED REFORM.
Landlords and Tenants Will Constl-
tute Problem fer the Next
Legislature.

Mt. Olive Tribune.
Perhaps one of the most needed re-
forms OF the present ls the enactment
of a stringent law by our General AS
sembly for the enforcement OF con-
tracts between landlords and tenants
That such legislation is greatly needed
in order TO regulate the now unsatis-
factory and unfair conditions, has been
brought forc.biy to our mind recently
by learning of what may be termed
outrageous practices under the present
law. As it is now landlord has prac-
tica!!y no protection against disreputa-
BILE and schemlng tenants, who, in
many cases, take advantage OF the un-
due privilege allowed them under the
law. Land owners in no part OF the
State suffer more than do those In this
immediate section. For instance, we
know OF case where certain tenant
took the rounds III the fall and bar
gained to rent la,:ds from four differ
ent l,ndit.rts When the season came
for :im to tend the lands he selected
the most desirable one Of the four and
refused to accept the others. The
other landlords we're compelled to sub
NIT to tie outrage because the law
gives no protection. Agar, we know
OF numerous eases where farmers have
supplied tenants through the Idle
months, and then these worthless fellows,
deserted and left the landlords In the
lurch when the busy season arrived.
No class CT people deserve more pro-
lection than the tenant-the man who
is compelled to rent. This they VIII
get, bu: what is needed and what we
want to see is equal protection to both
the land owners and the tenants. Let
the law he so constructed that tenant
may be crimlnally prosecuted if he
purposely falls to carry out contract
A reform measure was introduced in
the last Legislature by one OF the rep
resentatives from this county. Ii
passed the lower house, but was de.
feate,: hy a small margin in the senate
due 10 opposition to the measure by
representatives from the western part
of the State, where conditions are not
near so intolerable as they are in east
ern Carolina. We trust the State
press will take up the matter and urge
the next Legislature to Pass an act thai
will give equal rights to both land
lords and tenants.
