THE BUCKET SHOP.
tFSpectator' Asks a Few Questions
Concerning Its Operation i'll
GOldsbOrO.

DEAR ARGUs:-Please allow me
space in your columns for a few re-
marks concerning an evil, the infiu-
ence of which is widening and far
reaching.
There has been a getting together
of the best elements of this city to
change its moral condition. So far,
SO we'll; but cannot these anne men
who stood in the front ranks of the
recent victory wake up to the realiza-
ton of this so-called Stock and Cot
ton Exchange?
While many farmers have profted
by the rise of cotton, some business
men and clerks, who grow no cot
ton, have seen their hard-earned
money scattered like autumn leaves.
1t is a high-handed and dangerous
thing to exist in the community and
brushes the brightest hopes of 50
many men, who leap in the dark
and often pull others with them.
If there r good leading citizens
engaged in this, will they not now
turn their influence against it?
AS it seems that the present con-
cern has run their rope, how about a
public meeting to be called and a
determined stand taken that this
matter goes no farther.
Won't the Board of Aldermen
then say "no license',?
Won't the list of men who saw
their money lost Saturday as it rat
tied at the end of the line, be there
and say Amen to the obsequies of
another evil?

A LITTLE HEROINE.
A Strong Spirit and Love of HUI
manity In a Frail Body.

A Strong Spirit and Love of HUI
manity In a Frail Body.
Carrie Anderson lies in the Sa-
marian Hospital in Chicago. She
was one of the victims of the great
Iroquois fire, and to-day she suffers
intensely from the burns received.
When the coroner's inquest on
that fearful calamity was held w.t.
nesses told how a little girl, fourteen
years old, saved fifty lives. Not
withstanding that the cruel flames at
times enveloped her, she caught the
end of a ladder thrown from a build
near by and fixed it firmly SO that
fifty persons escaped by that means
a most terrible fate. When this
story was told to the coroner's jury
the heroism of the unknown little
girlbrought tears to the eyes ofthose
who heard it. Weeks passed on
without disclosing her identity, but
at last it has been revealed.
1t was Carrie Anderson who, in
spite of the maddening torture of
the flames, could remember that
there were lives to be saved and was
willing to offer herself up a sacrifice
that others might be spared.
Carrie Anderson's mother, a clean
er of the theatre, was lost in the fire.
The sad news is mercifully kept
from the suffering girl. It seems a
pity that a heroism that saved so
many could not have saved the
mother, but if the child gets we'll,
the nobility that inspired her on that
dreadful day will sustain her in her
bereavement. Carrie had no social
position, but nevertheless she is an
aristocrat. There flames in her breast
an ardor that g~lorifes, the love of
her fellOW-creatures.
All those who know of her story
will hope and pray that she may
get well and be as happy as a hero
inc deserves to be.
Carrie Anderson is a name worth
remembering. 1t carries with it a
story of a frail body but a strong
spirit, of suffering borne for others
sake. 1t is the name of a heroine.
Blazon it high. 1t Will shine reful-
gently when the names of rulers and
kings and captains and conquerors
are dull and l~ustreIess.

WILL LOSE -FOUR NUMBERS
Sentence In The Cases Of Lieutenant
Berry And Noses.

On the recommendation of Judge
Advocate General Diehl, Secretary
Morton has approved the action of the
general court martial in the cases OF
Second Lieutenants b. s. Berry and
Emile p. Moses, of the Marine Corps.
These officers, who are attached to
the marine barracks, Naval Academy,
were convicted of the charge of intox-
ication and were each sentenced TO
lose four numbers in lineal rank and
be publicly reprimanded by the Secre-
tary of the Navy.
''In administering the reprimand
imposed as a part of the sentence in
each of these cases, said Secretary
Morton, "it is deemed sufficient to
say that an officer whose use of intox-
icating liquors becomes SO excessive
that his superiors cause him to be tried
and convicted of drunkenness, has
been guilty of misconduct tending to
destroy his reputation as an officer
and gentleman, and he should be
deeply mortified by the publication of
an order announcing to the service the
fact of his trial and conviction by gen.
eral court martial of such an offense.
''The publication to the service by
general Ourt-martlal order OF tile nnd-
ing and sentence of the court and the
foregoing remarks embraced therein
will be regarded as compliance with
so much of the sentence in each case
as provides that Second Lieutenants
K. p. Moses and b. S. Berry, U. S.
NJ. o., shall be publicly reprimanded
by the Secretary of the Navy. Lieu
tenants Moses and Berry will be re-
leased from arrest and restored to
duty" /"

TO HAVE FAIR SPONSORS.
One Will Christen The Dubuque, T.,
Other Will Do The Rest.

1t now appears that the gunboat Du.
buque for which the Mayor of that
town could not find one sponsor will
now have two. The Dubuque is TO be
launched at the yards of the Gas En-
glne and Power Company, Morris
Heights, n. Y, ON August "a. 1t will
be the first vessel in the United States
navy to have two fair sponsors. They
will be Miss Margaret Treadway, of
Dubuque, Ia, and Miss Anna Hull,
daughter of Representative Hull, of
Iowa. The mix-up which resulted in
the selection of two sponsors grew out
of letter to Secretary of the Navy
Morton from O. II. Berg, the Mayor
of Dubuque, who said that most of the
young ladies in his town were visiting
the st. Louis fair, and he could not
find one willing to make the long
journey to New York" merely to
christen the Dubuque. Secretary Nor
ton referred the letter TO the builders
of the gunboat with the request that
they select one.
They promptly asked Miss Hull tC
officiate, and she accepted. In the
meantime the Dubuque Club tele.
graphed Mr.. Morton that there were
plenty of young women in Dubuque
who would be very happy to christen
the vessel. Urged by the club, the
Mayor wrote another letter Co the de-
partment, saying that Miss Treadway
would christen the vessel. Secretary
Morton didn't want to hurt the feel
ings of either Miss Treadway or Miss
Hull by asking for reconsideration,
and so the Dubuque will have two fair
snonsors Miss Treadway will break
the bottle of wine over the Dubuque 4
bow aud Miss Hull will pull the string
