Talent developed and +, discovered in
Minneapolis is coming to the rescue

WONT LOWER THE LAKE
THE PARK BOARD HARKENS TO
PROTESTS FROM LAKE OF THE
ISLES DISTRICT,

Superintendent w. NJ. Berry's hand
has been stayed by the park board
and all attempts to connect Lake of
the Isles with the Twenty-seventh
street sewer have been abandoned and
the instructions to Mr.. Berry with
drawn.
Residents from the Lake of the
Isles district descended upon the park
board last evening in such numbers
| and with such spirit that the commits.
sioners were speedily convinced that
the people knew what they want ed
and intended to get it. Judge John
| II. Steele, presented the legal aspect
Of the situation, touching lightly on
the esthetic and geological. c. A
T. Turner discussed the Lake of the
Isles question from an engineering
side. John Cogan talked from the gen
eral standpoint of citizen and tax
payer.
The trend of the argument was thai
the lakes in the park boards contro
should be kept as they are and tn,
more water the better it would be al
around. Some day Lake of the Isle
and Lake Calhoun would be con
nected by canal and in order t.
carry out this plan the lakes Shout,
be maintained at the same level MI
Turner stated that Lake of the Isle
could be dredged and the low place
filled at an expense Of about $4,000.

EVENTS OF THE OLD YEAR.

been a good year. 1t wes from start

country TO pass from the abnormal TO

1899 can see what We escaped. Az

business is much safer and sounder
than 1t was when the year came in.
Values are no longer unduiy lntiat-

Ter, the historian Lecky, and the
still grsater Mommsen, and the phil

Ials.
IL wa a year Of peace. Some fight
ing, 1t Is true, occurred In the Phil
ippinee, and IN Macedonia there was
an uprising and Ia oervla the king
and queen were Murdered by Tho
army, but all these occurrences were
Of small scope, and the year must be
set down as Ia essentially peaceful.
The political events of the year
were not noteworthy, although in
England the Irish land Dnl Was
passed, and Mr.. Chamberlain began
his pro-tarif campaign. IA Geruany
the social democrats Won many seat
in parliament, and ia France Prem
ier Oombes maintained his crusade
against the religious orders.
In this country boOdiing and graft
ing havs been unsarthed at many

lie Of Panama sprang up in a night,
and was recognized and u treaty for

COMPANY ORGANIZED.
PRO tSING POSSIBILITIES
PENDING.
Dream OF Great Things For Colds
borO Is About To Be
Realized.

Ar. Earle A. Humphrey, f tile
Humphrey~Giboon Company, real
estate and securities brokers' Of this
city, who have been at work on this
particular enterprise for several
months, and who organized and fl
nanced the company, left this morn
ing for Raleigh, to have incorporated
by the Secretary Of State, "The
Goldsboro and Seven Springs Securi-
ties Company" with a subscribed
capital Of $4,000 and authorized
capital of $500, 600.
AS its name indicates, and as the
reading public who know Of these
wonderful springs would naturally
divine, the purpose of the Company
is to develop Seven Springs and the
800 acres of fine hunting preserves
adjacent thereto, of which it is now
PFhe owner, by recent purchase.
1t is the intention of the Company
to begin, in the early spring, the con-
structlOn of the "AtIantic and North
western Railroad," a charter for
which they already hold, through
Mr.. Humphrey, from the legislature,
and which, in itself, is a valuable
possession, providing for d railroad
from the Atlantic seaboard to the
Northwestern border of our Slasc.
The proposed road will operate
first between Golosboro and seven
Springs, and may afterwards be ~
tended in either direction, or both,
as demand may develop.
It is the purpose of the company,
primarily, to develop these marve-
lousy healthful and healing springs,
and to this end-in addition to the
railroad thither from this city, it
proposes to build a ~commodious
modern hotel, and, also, a SANTA
rum, at the Springs, which are stu
ated in the most ~picturesquely beau
tiful surroundings the State, any
where, afords-the more s~trIkingly
pleasing because So phenomenal-a
freak of nature-a mountainous up
heavaI III the midst Of the plains.
The development Of Seven Springs
and the linking of its assured success,
under aggressive management, with
the fortunes Of Gnldsboro has been
the cherished dream and hope for
years of ome of our most public
spirited and sagacious citizens and
now, at length, We are about to rea-
lie the development Of an enterprise
that holds within its scope not only
the linking of Goldsboro and Seven
Springs together but possibilities for
our city aud section too varied to
enumerate and too promising, al
most, to be true; but not at all too
speculative if even the first step in
the enterprise be developed-the
building of the road between this
city and the Springs.
And that this Company means to
accomplish, just what it has 'incor-
porated itself to undertake, a mere
mention of its principal stockholders
will. give assurance. They are as
