Teeth Made of Paper.

One of the novel inventions which hail from Germany is artificial teeth made from paper. Many of the dentists are using them and find them to be en- tirely satisfactory. They have several advantages over the ordinary ones made of porcelain or mineral composition, as they are cheap, do not break or chip, are not sensitive to heat or cold, nor has the moisture of the mouth any ef- feet upon them.

A NEW LEASE OFFER
Raleigh and Pamlico Sound People
Reported to Have Made the
Best Bid Yet.

1t was reported late last night that
another proposition to lease the Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad had been
made within the last few days, and that
this had been made since the Mills and
Finlayson offer.
The bid for the lease of the road by
those gentlemen. made after the COM
plant Of X. S. Finch and the appointment
OF V. f. McBee as receiver, is known to
have been a most excellent one. but the
new bid is reported as being the best
made yet.
1t was too late last night when the
matter was heard Of TO verify it, but the
last offer is said to have come from the
officers of the Raleigh and Pamlico Sound
Railroad, who are said TO have made q
most excellent bid for the lease of the
road. Captain J. NJ. Turner. the president
and Mr.. Claude B. Barbee. the secretary
and treasurer. have gone to New York
and it is supposed that their visit there
has something to do with the new offer
for a lease.
People who have heard of the latest bids
are not inclined to think that. in view
of this the complaint Of Finch at the
condition of affairs is to be relied upon.
1t confirms their opinion that the com
plant was the basis for grab game.

NO TROOPS GO TO PANAMA.
The Canal Commission Starts Soon to
Start Work OF Construction.

Washington, March lit was decided
at the Cabinet meeting today that troops
should not be sent to the Isthmus of Pan
anna. Preparatory orders that had been
sent to the Third Infantry to prepare for
services there will be revoked. Marines
will continue to guard the interests of
the United States on the isthmus. The
Cabinet was influenced in its decision by
the disinclination to have two jurisdic-
tions on the isthmus and as naval vessels
must remain there for some time it was
decided to allow the marines to continue
the land duty.
1t is said 10 he certain that the canal
commission will go to the isthmus very
soon to inspect thoroughly the condition
and to start the preliminary work of con-
struction 1t is the earnest wish of the
President and the members of the Cabl-
net that no unnecessary delay should oc-
cur in beginning the work on the canal,

the utmost vigor.

WHY THE BEAR SNARLS?
He is Irritated by the Angry Scream
Of the Eagle, Says Cassini.

Washington. March IAN important
conference lasting more than an hour oc-
Cured today between Secretary Hay and
Count Cassini, the Russian Ambassador.
The growing ill-feeling in Russia against
Americans and the continued attacks OF
certain parts of the American press
against Russia was the main subject dis
cussed.
Count Cassini also informally inquired
about the report that the Commercial
Cable Company had applied for landing
privileges at Guam for cable from that
island to Japan. He was assured by Mr..
Hay that this government at present was
considering no such application.
To correspondent of the Associated
Press, Count Cassini said that it had

Russian policies. He said the first feel.

THE tone of the Russian newspapers, y
said the Ambassador, "a consequence OF
the tone of many American newspapers
is beginning to take a very painful direc

States and in my opinion it is in the in
terests of both countries that some meas

it is too late"

asked.

that when these attacks, which so far as
Russia can see are without cause, end

To Vacate a Preference.

1t was the purpose of Messrs. w. A.
Stewart and j. c. Clifford. of Dunn, who
were here yesterday to ask for vacation
of a preference of $1.45O given to Mr.. T.
H. Neil. of Dunn, by the Dunn Hardware
and Furniture Company, which went into
bankruptcy a short time ago. The claim
is that the preference was given at a
date too close to the failure.
The application for this was to have
been made to Judge Thomas r. Purnell,
of the Federal Court, but he is out of the
city in Norfolk, Va, so the attorneys had
to return without making the application
to him. They will return for this pur-
pose. Mr.. Mcneil was at one time the
editor and owner of the Dunn Democratic
Banner.

Item first in these rumors is that Oscar
j. Spears, OF Harnett. Assistant United
States District Attorney, is getting to be
persona non grata and that his official
head will surely soon be in the bottom
of the waste basket. This being so, there
is q vacancy that must surely be filled.
And who will get it. For reasons here
after to be stated it is said that it will
be necessary FOR the successor of Oscar j.

mentioned. One these is Mr.. y. B. An

Best The latter is said 10 have the best
chance and the reason is that he is the
Clerk of Federal Judge Purnell, and that
his resignation of this position viii make
a place in Judge Purnclfs Office that
Revenue Collector Carl Duncan's brother
can fill.
Now, the reason that the Assistant Dis
trict Attorney should live in Raleigh
bobs up The salary is not an opulent
one and a man living here is wanted,
as it is said that the government has al
lowed District Attorney Skinner to make
Gleenville his official domicile in place OF
Raleigh, as has hitherto been the rule.
Colonel Skinner if he goes to Greenviile,
will not take his colored clerk so far
east, as the air may be unhealthy. Thus
Ell. Johnson will walk the plank and it's
whispered loudly that Colonel SINNERS
