QUEEN WITHOUT A THRONE.
Tho ExiIed Queen Marie Today o.
served Her 86th Birthday.


Vienna. Apr. 14.-At Gmunder. in
upper Austria, where she resides with
her son the Duke of Cumberland. the
venerable Queen Marie OF Hanover
observed lei Seth birthday today.
Queen Marie is a queen without a
throne, for her husband was deposed
nearly forty years ago. so that the
greater part of her life has been spent
In exile. She was 25 when she mar
ried the King OF Hanover. In lS43.
and she enjoyed being a queen for
% years. In the war of 1866 Hanover
sided against Prussia, and the Prus-
sian king, afterwards Emperor Will
lam l.. of Germany. the grandfather
of the present Emperor. revenged
himself by deposing the H~anoverian
monarch and adding Hanover to
Prussia. Queen Marie has never for.
given the H-ohenzollerns for depriving
her of her seat on a throne. and II
is due chiefly to her urgings that her
son, the Duke Of Cumberland. refuses
to abandon his claim to the throne
of Hanover.

4 sLoopy SHOE.
Found Last Evening in the Dressing
Room Of the Porter Mercantile
Company,s Store.

Room of the Porter Mercantile
company's Store.
The mysterious shoe and who put
it in Jack Porter's store" is the Ques
ton that is the talk of the town and
the mystery still remains unraveled
THE facts are that a bloody shoe
was found by one of the clerks in
the dressing room In the front part
of the store. The shoe had a bloody
handkerchief wrapped around 1t and
was in a new rubber arctic shoe that
belonged in the store. The shoe was
carefully hidden behind some boxes
and wire forms. 1t was evident that
it had not been in the room many
hours. as the blood was still fresh.
Investigation proved that a hole
had beer shot through the side of
the shoe which was a right foot one.
The bullet very likely amputated the
little o OF the wearer as 1t went
the little toe is usually located. The
pistol that fired the shot was about
a forty-five and it cut through the

could get their finger through. Fur
Their investigation proved that the
mate to the arctic rubber shoe was
missing. The box of arctic shoes was
near the dressing room, and it is sup
posed hat the man who had been
shot slipped into the store and took
a pair of the arctics and got into the
dressing room and made the change
before being detected by any of the
clerks.
The secresy of the action and the
motive of the man who put the shoe
in the room cannot be understood.
1t is the supposition of several who
viewed the bloody shoe last evening
that the man had accidentally shot
himself and was afraid of being pun |
ished for having the gun in his pos. |
session and concealed the fact of be-
ing shot. The shoe is of a brand sold
by the firm where the same was dis |
covered. 1t was number tx and the
leather was black with a capped toe. |
The officers will attempt to find the !
owner and present him with his pro-
perty. 1t is thought however that it
will not amount to much.
1t was a shoe found on the foot of
Pearl Bryan who was murdered near
Cincinnati a few years ago that led
to the apprehension of Scoyt Jackson
and Alonzo Walling. two dental stu
dents. 1t will be remembered that
the beheaded body of the young wo-
was found and the shoe that she
wore was proved to be one hat had
been sold to Pearl Bryan at Greencas-
tie, Indiana. This was the only means
by which the body was identified,
and Jackson and Walling were tried
the crime and both executed with
out divulging the location of the
missing head.

AIslhoaIsls q lhe ,xalhalla cIreult.

Walhalla, September 26.--With
the Methodists of the State this con-
ference year is drawing to a close
only few months and preachers
viii have ogive an account of their
stewardship before the second high
est tribunal of the church. The
fourth quarterly conferences are
now being held throughout the
country. The presiding elder, Rev.
n. A. Child, will hold the quarterly
conference for the Walhalla circuit
at Zion church Saturday and Sum
day, October Is and 16, further
mention of which will be made in
The Courier next week.
Rev. j. I. Spinks las been in
charge of this work for the last
three years. Now, brethren, let us,
with one accord, endeavor to make
this the most successful of the three !;
and let this last quarterly conference
disclose great results. He has done
his work faithfully and we'll, and it
only remains for others interested to
do their part in order to make this
the best year of the three.
The Walhalla circuit has been
greatly replenished, both numerically
and financially, and, taking every
thing into consideration, the charge
is in a more prosperous condition at
present, spiritually and otherwise,
than for many years. Surely kind
Providence has blessed us.
Among other improvements, we
now have good parsonage, which
increases the conveniences and COM
forts of our pastor, and at the same
time lessons the cost of living. We
have good cause for thanksgiving.
Protracted meetings have been
held at the following places with
good effect: Walhalla Mill, Whit
mire, Newry, Zion, Double Springs
and Fairview.
1t is hoped that full attendance
will be at the meeting at Zion next
month, and that good collections
will be reported. Rhett Doyle.

Healthy Mothers.

Mothers sholld always keep in good
bodily health. They owe it to their
children. Yet ir is no unusual sight to
see mother, with babe in arms, cough
ing violently and exhibiting all the symp-
toms of consumptive tendency. And
why should this dangerous condition
when DR.. Bosohee's German Syrup would
put stop to it at once? No mother
should be without this old and tried
remedy in the house-for its timely use
will promptly cure any lung, throat or
bronchial trouble in herself or her chill
dren. The worst cough or cold can be
speedily cured by German Syrup; so can
hoarseness and congestion of the bron-
ohial tubes. 1t makes expectoration easy,
and gives instant relief and refreshing
rest to the cough-racked consumptive.

The Upward Trend.

The uprising of the people in be-
half Of temperance all over North
Carolina is only one of the many in
dications that men are growing bet
ter than they were. We are weary
of the old cry, which generally pro-
ceeds from those who have failed, as
to how we are going to reach the
masses with the gospel, that's how.
People are eager to hear real preach
ing and the man who knows how to
preach finds no trouble about congre.
cations. Furthermore the scoffer at
sacred things, the blackguard, ',e
profane and the irreyerent are graz
ally falling into the background and
men with clean lips and lives are pre-
ferred before them.
There is still vice, and crime and
drunkenness, to be sure, and one
need not 60 far to find it, but the
sentiment against these things is
more widespread than ever before.
1t is quite noteworthy in politics. A
man must be more than sober--he
must be clean and honorable in order
to enjoy the esteem and secure the
suffrage of the public. This is a
powerful incentive to young men to
be rid of evil habits and preserve in
violate their manhood. This upward
trend has not yet been so manifest in
our social life. So long as punch
bowls and card parties are popular,
and so long as moral lepers are re-
ceived with open arms, our social
realm is missionary ground; but
even here we fancy we discern some
signs of awakening. The pity Of it
all is that so many of our churches
are involved in this social side of our
lives and blindly condone and even
encourage practices and privileges
that are at warfare with our moral
veal.
The church must stand against the
immoral conditions, and ally itself
with the moral forces that are under
meath and grad ally lifting us to a
higher plane, or it must be ruthlessly
run over and destroyed !; for God is
in this great movement that carries
us forward and his eyes cannot be
blinded by the thin veneer of social
position and prominence. The church
that bids for the popular and the
prominent through the false plea that
it opens the door to "society" is more
an agency of the devil than of the
Lord. 1t is blessed reflection,
however, that the race is rising in
spite of these things, and all Others
that would hinder our progress to-
ward higher and happier living
Charity and Children.
