Chaflng-Dlsh Articles.

There is something about a chafing
dish that breathes good-felloWship,
destroys the conventional, and Whets
ones appetite; it is such a convenient
way for informal entertaining that 1t
is a marvel that every family, every
young lady, and every young man
has not formed the habit of chating-
dish crockery. There is no excuse for
not understanding chafing-dish crock
ery. for a number of manufacturers
interested in the sale of their wares
offer cook books that give full details
for the manipulation of the chahng-
dish and it is really wonderful how
clever some of these BOOKS are anu
YOU may depend upon it that they
are gotten UP by competent authoIl-
ties who have been we'll paid for the
time and study they have given to the
undertaking.
The secret Of success with the
chafng-dish depends largely upon
careful attention to details and pre-
paration. The ingredients should be

THE LEGISLATURE PASSES A SEN
SIBIE DIVORCE LAW.

Last night the House of Representa-
tiyes did one of the wisest things dur
ing the whole session by passing the
Eller substitute for the McNinch bill.
In some respects the McNinch bill was
regarded by many as the best; others
believed the Eller bill was the
best. But either was so CHEAT an inn
provement upon present divorce laws
as to be in line with the petitions of
the great religious bodies that had
asked the Legislature to repeal all
statutes on divorce since The Code.
The Legislature has done that and
done better. The law will be satisfac-
tory to most of those who stood for
stringent divorce laws.
Mr.. McNinch. whose zeal for prop
err divorce law, commands the admira-
ton of the State, led in securing the
adoption of the Eller law, putting his
desire for proper legislation above any
pride he may have had in the bill he
had drafted and carried through the
House.
North Carolina will stand by the
Home, And this Legislature truly
represents the best sentiment of this
Commonwealth.

AIMED AT GAMBLING ONLY.

The passage of the Woodland bill re-
shops and the representatives of the
exchange houses" to cotton mill and
business men who have need to use
the markets in the orderly course of
their business will work a reform
which will save to the people of the
State thousands of dollars each year.
Mr.. Woodland has worked faithfully
and, in a sense, alone, in active advo-
cacy of his measure against powerful
opposition and is to be congratulated
not only upon his victory, but upon
having done the people of the State a
real and abiding service.
The amendment introduced in the
Senate yesterday and accepted by Mr..
Woodland was urged by business inter-
ests as giving them the right and OPP
in the purchase of supplies for legi-
innate profit against the vagaries and
violent fluctuations of markets respon-
sive to speculative conditions. Mr..
Woodland had never intended to inter-
fere with or embarras legitimate bust
ness methods, his idea being that the
interests represented by the amend
ment proposed should not be per-
mitted a freedom which left wide open
the door of temptation to the great
mass of the people to gamble in the
markets. His bill was designed as
protective measure to the youth of the
State and to those to. whom the allure
ments of open opportunity to gamble
at another mans game" was disas-
trous.
1t is to be hoped that the effects of
the bill for good will meet the expec-
tations and the intent of it's author.

How Governor NeilI Cameron Put
Sheriff Adam in Jail.

Rev w. H H. Lawhon. whose
father, L. w. LawhOn served on the
jury at a term of the court in 1S47
when Judge D. f. Caldwell presided,
tells US an amusing incident which
occurred here during term of the
court.
Old Governor Neil Cameron, as he
was Familiarity known was a practic-
ing attorney at the bar and celebrat-
ed for his wit and repartee, was re-
CALLING his friends with a joke which
caused quite a fit of merriment and
some more or less boisterous laugh
ing in the hall adjoining the court
room which grated upon the nervous
system of Judge Caldwell.
Calling the sheriff who was Adam
Wadsworth he ordered that he bring
the offender before him. Mr.. Wads-
worth on entering the hall found his
old friend Mr.. Cameron, and inform
ed him of the Judges order and
together they went to the judge who
Immediately sentenced the offender
to Jail on account of boisterous con-
duct and disturbance of the court.
With a polite bow to the judge
which was a characteristic of Mr..
Cameron he accompanied Mr. Wads
worth the sheriff toward the Jail and
discussed the friendly feelings of
tho two families at the same time
assuring the sheriff that he under
stood his position and knew that it
was his (the sheriff's) business to
carry out the order of the Judge
Having reached the Jail Mr. Cam
eron told the sheriff that his moth
or had always taught him never to
enter another mans house unless
the owner preceded and welcomed
him, so Mr. Wadsworth unlocked the
Jail and stepped inside when la n
moment the Gov" had reached and
turned the key leaving the sheriff
securely locked within the jail.
Returning to the court room Coy
Neill'' entered and addressing the
judge said. May it please your
honor, / have the rascal put up
and presented the judge with the
keys Of the Jail.

and ordered the sheriff released when

You cannot do wrong without suffer-

of pride that was not injurious to
him. said Burke. The exclusive IN
fashionable life does not see that he
excludes himself from enjoyment, in
the attempt to appropriate it. The ex-
clusionist in religion does not see that
he shuts the door of heaven on him
self, in striving to shut out others.
Treat men as Dawns and nine-pins,

If you leave out their heart, you shall
lose your own.

The bill from the Senate providing
for $4,000 extra for the hospital for
the insane was the cause of prolonged
argument at times bitter. When it
was read Mr.. Redwine offered an
amendment increasing the amount to

Senator, afterwards named as the
Senator from Buncombe. had threat
ened to hold over the House the hold

the House passed the bill giving this
extra $40 600. He declared that such
conduct should be resented.
Mr.. Wood, of Randolph. explained
that the Appropriation Committees
favored the increase, contingent
one. That by an error in ascertain
ing the needs the appropriations had
been put at $135,00O, and that $4,000
more was absolutely needed or pa
tents would have to be sent home.
Mr.. Winborne, of Hartford, opposed
the increase. The Raleigh Hospital
had stood back two years ago. and
