ASKPR|SONB BOUNDS
Attorneys for Rogers and
SorreII Appeal to the
Governor.

Messrs. ]. n. Holding and j. c. L.
Harris, of counsel for Rowan Rogers
and doc" Sorrell, who are in Jail
serving a six months sentence for en-
bracery appeared before Governor
Glenn yesterday morning and petition
ed for prison bounds for Rogers and
Sorrell but more especially Rogers.
1t was represented that a great change
has taken place in the condition Of
Rogers and that he is seriously ill.
Col. Harris stated yesterday afternoon
that Rogers condition may grow crit
zeal, as his health is greatly impaired,
and that if relief is not given him he
will die within two months. Sorrell is
not as sick as Rogers. but he is a suf-
ferer from rheumatism, and Col. Har-
riS said that when cold weather sets
in it may be fatal TO Sorrell.
Governor Glenn did not render his
decision in the matter yesterday, but
said he would hold the matter up until
he could examine it more thoroughly.
He said there were two very important
questions that he would carefully con-
slider and determine before he should
say what he would do in regard to the
petition. The first question, was
whether he had the right and author
ity to grant the prison bounds; and
second. whether it would be proper
for him to do so, even if he should
have the power.
Took InsOIvent Oath.
The sheriff yesterday carried Rog-
ers and Sorrel before the clerk of
court, where they took the insolvent
debtors oath, which released them
from the payment of costs in the con-
tempt case. The costs against both
prisoners amounted to $23.33. Their
embracery sentences will expire jan
uary 10th.

SCRAP WITH NEGRO.
InsoIent Darkey Was
Given a Short Chase
Yesterday.

There was a miniature sensation at
the corner of Wilmington and Davie
streets yesterday afternoon when Mr..
Frank Traps proprietor of a grocery
located on the southeastern corner
and a negro issued from the interior
a building, the former with a gun
and the negro with a knife. The
storekeeper summoned the police and
then engaged with the departing Of
fender in a walking match, which
continued two blocks before the blue
coats hoved in sight. At their appear
anCe the negro ran, turning a corner
and going up Wilmington street back
towards the market, and obliged Off
Ger Spence by walking into his arms
The negro, who was II. w. Wilson,
offered no resistance, but asked the
officer by what authority he proceeded
with such extraordinary action, but
emphasized the fact that he offered
no resistance only used as much
abusive language of his assailant as
he could command. He was taken to
the police station, where he will re-
main until trial, which will probably
be this morning at ten o'clock.
1t seems that the difficulty was oc-
casioned by the rudeness of the col
ored mans conduct towar Mr. Traps
and asked if his boss were in. He
was told no. but remained inside
He was ordered to get out, but instead
of complying. hurled an avalanche of
opprobrious epithets, at the proprie-
tor few clicks" were exchanged,
with one carrying away as souvenir
blood above the left eye, and the
other with blood on his chin. Mr..
Traps grasped a flobert rifle, and the
1xhi ont thew
clutched, but upon thinking further
about the affair, and possibly its
consequences, the black man hauled
off, followed in a slow walk by Mr.
Traps. He was under arrest ten min
utes later.

The Call of the Wild.

Mumford Height, driver of the
wonderful and now locally famous
steed that Monday listened to the call
of the wild and did a few stunts in an
equine way that shocked some of the
older ones, was tried yesterday by the
Police Justice for feeding his horse
on the street. Mumford was declared
guilty, and fined $S.15. This was
wholly surprise to the negro, who
doubtless believes his mettleSome horse
was possessed of legion of devils.
The funny part of it, however, is not
vet over with the adventurous Steed,
and it is recorded of him that when
he was taken to his stable lot in
Brooklyn he peered at the driver
Maud-like, but instead of dispatching
Mumford to the company of the
Clouds he just chOked sniffie or

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
ted why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

Pigeon Pie.

Choose four pigeons, and having
drawn, cleansed and trussed them
nicely, blanch and mince the livers
with one ounce of beef marrow, four
peeled mushrooms, one-half pound of
veal, some picked herbs and table,
spoonful of fine bread crumbs. Sea-
son it with salt, pepper and grated
nutmeg, mixing it all through, and
then put tablespoonful of the mix
ture in each bird. Line a pie-dish
with some of the forcemeat and, after
putting in the birds, arrange tiny
rolls of thinly sliced bacon and slices
of hard-boiled egg between the layers
with small dabs of butter at intervals
After this is done cover the pie with
a good paste, leaving hole in the
center. After baking in moderate
oven, and just before serving, pour
a gill of clear rich gravy into the pie
through this center opening.

STYLES In Halrdressina.

A commendable feature of the hair.
dressing styles of to-day is the lati-
tude permitted maid and matron. The
arrangement OF the hair that is best
suited to the face is the style so far
as the individual is concerned, and
while the low coiffures is now seen
more frequently than for some time
heretofore the high style is by no
means out of date and 1t is simply
matter of choice and becomingness.
For evening particularly is the high
couture retained, the prevailing style
of hats being better adapted to the
low arrangement of the hair for less
ceremonious occasions and street
wear.

Lace Erocks.

Be it black or white, lace dress Is
more useful for an afternoon costume
than almost any other sort of gown.
For one thing deep lace gown will
frequently do service in the evening
for the theater or when staying tenn
porarily at some hotel, besides which
it is the kind of dress which, made up
now, can be worn right through the
year, being equally appropriate at all
seasons.
Now is certainly the best time to
have lace gown made up, for 1t will
then be ready for the spring weddings,
luncheons, and bridge afternoons,
besides which it is always easier to
get ones costumes bought and fitted
before the great rush commences.

Eerns In Pots.

Many persons have given up grow
ing ferns in rots on account of poor
success with them. They get fine
plants from the florist and in few
months they go to pieces. There are
but few things to know in order to
keep ferns in good condition, and
have them increase in beauty from
year to year, says an authority. They
must be grown in moist atmosphere.
If kept in hot, dry room they will do
no good. For this reason they do
poorly in rooms heated by steam or
hot water, unless provision is made
for adding moisture to the air. A
room heated by hot-air heater which
has an evaporating pan is the best for
ferns. Also the soil must be kept
moist at all times, yet be well drained.
The soil should be made UP of peaty
loan, one part, and leaf mold one part,
and handful Of bone-meal to pot.
