CITY BATHING POOL.
The Most Popular Resort OF The Pco-
pie These Days.

Pullen Park is a popular place in
the good old summer time" and the
most popular place at the park is the
bathing pool.
Over two hundred folks went into
the splashee-splashee on Friday, and
many more had to be denied a plunge
into the pool because there was a
scarcity of bathing suits.
But this is to be remedied. Yester-
day the Park committee, desiring that
all who would take dip might bQ
so clothed as to be in the swim or
dered three dozen more of the decol-
lete garments, both as to neither and
upper exposure. There are now On
hand five dozen new suits and dozer,
and a half of the semi-frappe order,
left over from a previous vintage.
1t costs ten cents to get inside so
as to plunge il you own your own
suit If you hire one it's five cents
more. On Friday the cash receipts
were about SIS this in addition to free
bathing for the Summer School folks
and also in addition to the tickets
punched, these latter giving twelve
baths for dollar.
The pool is the thing. and as the
weather grows warmer the splashing
will increase.

Rev. DR.. Dean of ST. Barnabas

first depending on who would die

GARRETT HAS GONE.
Read His Name i'm the Paper and De-
parted, Leaving no Address.

Garrett the white man who as al
ready told, is wanted by the police for
selling liquor on Sundays, has skipped
to the country.
The News and Observer printed the
information thinking that the warrant
had already been issued, but, as 1T
happened, Mr.. Garrett rose early,
reached for his paper, read the

breakfast.
There is moral about this some
where, but, as is generally the case,

WRECKED THEIR HAPPY HOME
How Wash. Jones' Discretion Got His
Fair Friends Into Trouble With
the Police.

Rufus Haywood, Henry Smith, Lum
Locklear and Frank Twitty, "cullud
spotes," were bagged by the police
yesterday afternoon and incarcerated
IN the station house to await pre-
liminary hearing before the mayor on
charges of liquor selling and gambling.
AS told in the story of court pro-
ceedingS. these gentlemen of color
owe their present plight to the desire
of Wash Jones to save his own skin.
Wash peached on his friends to avoid
being sentenced himself-an effective
If not a laudable device. AS the old
lady said of the impecunious young
man who married some score thouS-
dnds of dollars. Wash lis gentleman
of remarkable discretion"
1t seems that Henry Smith had
room which for consideration he
let to Rufus Haywood, who, for
consideration, provided a table and
cards and drinks-all the comforts of
home in fact-which all his friends
were free TO visit and there win from
one another the WhereWithal to pay
Rufe's consideration. All, yes indeed,
it was regular gentleman's game!
But Wash did not exhibit the dis
erection before which he showed after
the event and one day while he was
clanking along the street like a bar
rel of beer, he was nabbed.
And now they are all nabbed-
even Locklear and Twitty who, so
far as is known, were of those who
paid the consideration. are nabbed.
They are all nabbed except Wash,
who was nabbed.
And there is a silence in the room
which Henry Smith let to Rufe
Haywood silence that has gone on
from Saturday night, when the ard
ent flowed most freely and the chips
clinked and the coins dropped
through the kitty" in the table.
And even Wash is not happy-for,
white or black. the world does hate
a peacher.
