For some time the Chicago orchestra
trustees have been trying to induce
their lady patrons to remove their hats
during the concerts of that organization
A request printed in the program has
thus far been ignored, and the reform
seems likely to go by default. Which
prompts the suggestion that the scheme
of the Maryland manager who success
fully overcame a similar objection might
be tried
He is manager of the Hagerstown,
Nd, opera house, and is too modest to
have his name on the programs. Every
one calls him colonel Robert Man
tell had occasion to compliment the
colonel while he was playing 'Richelieu''
in his house.
Your audience is of exceptionally fine
appearance, colonel he observed.
Yes" returned the colonel, they're
the best in town"
THE ladies of your city are more con-
siderate Of others in the audience than
in most places How have you overcome
the theater hat habit?"
Noticed the program asked the
manager.
No.
The colonel drew a big pink folder
from his pocket. He pointed to a legend
in big type Immediately below the cast:
'Ail ladies over forty years of age
will keep their hats on.
The colonel looked at the star with
solemn eyes
There isn't q woman in Hagerstown
over forty years old.

Mr.. Hampton's Narrow Escape.
(Kinston Free Press

Mr.. Hampton, of Goldsboro who
was with a party on their way TO
Croatan on a fishing expedition, had
an accident at Croatan Sunday morn
ing when alighting from the train
and sustained right painful injuries
about the face and head. He also
had narrow escape from having his
legs cut off by the car wheels
Mr.. Hampton and a party from
Goldsboro went down to Croatan sun
day morning to spend a few days
fishing and when they all got off at
the station Mr. Hampton discovered
that he had left some things on the
train and went back to get them.
When he had secured the things and
started to get off the train was run
ning about fifteen miles an hour, it
is said, and Mr.. Hampton was thrown
head first into a pile of cross-ties and
lost consciousness, but as he struck
the cross-ties instinctively drew his
legs up and thereby saved them from
being run over.
He was bruised on the head and
face and returned to Goldsboro in the
evening, leaving the rest of the party
at Croatan.

The American interests there are

COTTON.

New York, Tuesday afternoon July
4.-The Liverpool market evidently
regards the report of the Department
of Agriculture upon cotton published
yesterday even more bullishly than
America Prices in Liverpool have to-
day advanced some siXty-seven points
sterling, which is equivalent to 1874
points in American currency, rs
against a net advance of 100 points IN
the New York market yesterday.
My private cables advise that the
unofficial market on the curb in LiV-
crpool was still higher, and that buy
ing orders are being received from all
over Europe. This foreShadows much
higher prices in America. Europe
consumes 60 per cent. of the American
cotton crop, and its eagerness to buy
even at the advance, is conclusive evil
dence that the controlling demand is
as yet unsatisfied. Private cables ad-
wise that a very lal ge number of spin
ners are under contract for their
manufactured output as far ahead as
July. 1906, and that they are much
concerned over the situation and Will
shortly become heavy and precipitate
buyers.
Meanwhile, such crop reports as
have been received from the South to-
day continue exceedingly gloomy in
character The boil weevil is rapidly
extending its depredations in Texas,
and while continued rains would mean
an exceedingly late and unpromlsing
crop, a drought would result in com
plete incinerations.
| shall appreciate it if those of my
correspondents to whose eye this ad-
yertisement may come Will telegraph
me not more than ten words. at my
expense advising me as to the crop
outlook in their section, and | would
especially request my correspondents
in Texas and louisiana to note care
fully and telegraph me promptly any
indication of increase of serious dam
age from boil weevil

Capt. S. A. Ashe has again placed
the citizens Of North Carolina under
obligations by his researches among
the antique records of North Carolina,
and exhuming from it's dusty rest in
the executive letter book of Governor
Johnson, letter addressed by Robert
Burton, of Greenville, n. c., presenting
to the State, through Governor john
ston, bust of "Chevalier John Paul
jones'
Accompanying this letter of Robert
Burton, Capt. Ashe gives Senator Sim
mons further proofs that Paul Jones,
the father of the American navy, was
appointed commander of the American
navy from North Carolina through the
influence of Benz Hawkins, William
Hooper and John Penn, members of
the Colonial Congress from North
Carolina
Senator Simmons took these docu-
nents to Acting Secretary Darling,
Who was very much interested in
hem, and promised Senator simmons
that he would search the archives of
he Navy Department to ascertain II
The appointment of John Paul Jones
was from North Carolina, that the
fact might be stated in the inscription
On the monument to be erected over
his remains at the Naval Academy at
Annapolis.
The history of John Paul Jones is
much identified with North Carolina s
early history and his connection with
the family of Willie and Allen Jones
is well established. We thank capt.
Ashe and Senator Simmons for their
work i'm reviving his further connec'
ton with our State.
1t may seem a little strange that in
ha hoe Of nj AGhp
of Joseph Hews, who was member
Of the Colonial Congress, a signer of
the Declaration of Independence, does
not appear. But it may be explained
by the death of Hews, while member
of the Colonial Congress in Phlla-
delphia.
1t is suggested that some of the de-
scendants of Governor Samuel John-
ston, who live near Edenton, may be
able to furnish some information ABOUT
the bust of Paul Jones referred TO IN
the letter of Robert Burton to Gov
ernor Johnson.
AS to that suggestion, Governor
Johnson has no descendants llVlng IN
or near Edenton. The custodian and
owner of the papers and relics or Gov
ernor Johnson is Mr.. john G. wood,
of HAYES, near Edenton, who would
doubtless furnish every facility in the
search for any information or refer
ence to the bust mentioned in the let
| ter of Robert Burton.
The connection of John Paul Jones
with the Jones family, of Halifax, has
| been long known to u.s. But that he
| was appointed to the navy from North
| Carolina is a new revelation to us. II
he be one of her sons then be it so

the time of fitting seemed perfectly

Never wear a shoe too small or that

misery more complete than a shoe that

A shoe should be. washed every now

night. In this case a fresh application
of blacking restores the briIliancy of the
leather.
A wet shoe must never be placed too
near the fire, for it will become hard
and stiff. The way to save a shoe that
is wet from an early grave is to wipe
it off and then apply an oil or cream by
means of soft piece of flannel or cloth.
Wear old shoes in bad weather.
