HOUSE FURNISHINGS.

country break down from this cause. 1t is not
uncommon 10 find the mistress and one servant

Every woman should have laudable pride il
her house. but It should not be altar which
claims her entire soul and body. Nor should there
be anything in II too good for daily use.
The equipment of the house includes two classes
Of objects-essentials and accessories. The essen

A WARNING TO CHINA.
Strict Neutrality Must be Observed to
Insure the Worlds Peace.

Washington, January 16.-China's at
tention has again been indirectly invit-
ed by the American Government to the
necessity for a faithful maintenance Of
her neutrality, not only in her personal
interest, but in the interest of the
worlds peace. Secretary Hay on the
receipt of the full text of Count Lanls-
dorff's note expressing Russia's belief
thai China's neutrality had been re-
peatedly violated today prepared in
structions for the American charge at
Pekin directing him to make inquiry OF
the Chinese government regarding the
situation.
It is specifically declared that this
action cannot in any way be construed
as indicating that this government as
sumes responsibility for the charges
made by Russia. his government has
received no Information in China that
the Chinese are violating the rules OF
neutrals. Nevertheless. in view of Rus
sia's expressed anxiety over the situa-
ton in China whico her investigation
discleses, the American government is
ready to do what it can to save China
and the other neutral powers from the
far reaching complications which it Is
feared would follow an extension to
Chinese territory of the zone of hostili-
ties.

THE BILL.
Senator Simmons Made a Plea Against
The Proposed State Of Arizona.

Washington, January 16.-By a vote
of 30 to a the Senate today decided to
consider the cross-town street railway
bill for Washington. but the measure
soon gave place to the statehood bill.
That measure was discussed tor three
hours by Messrs. Simmons and Hay
burn, both Of whom favored the elm
ination of Arizona from the bill.
Mr.. Simmons made a plea against the
proposed state Of Arizona, on the
ground thai the average distance from
the counties included in the present
territory Of Arizona to Sante Fe, the
capital. was five hundred miles. He
c~ontended, that, as shown in the case
of the division of Dakota into two
states. the tendency was towards small
Ter instead Of larger states and added
that New Mexico and Arizona combin-
ed would be twice as large as both the
Dakotas together.
The fortunes of the two territories
had been ~irrevocably severed when the
territory of Arizona was created, out
of a part Of New Mexico.

Norfolk, Va, January ia special
to The Virginian-Pilot from Elizabeth
City, n. c., says:
Particulars reached this city today of
a bloody fight which occurred at Davis
store in Providence township about one
mile from Borea and about seven miles
from this city saturday night. The
origin of the trouble, which vas be-
tween the Mcpherson and Jennings
families, seems to have been caused by
the attention that was bestowed on one
of the McPhersons n one of the Jen-
nings boys by a young lady of the
neighborhood.
Some time ago, it is reported, John
Pritchard, who is a member of the NC
Pherson group, gave the young lady
in the case a watch. She in turn either
loaned or gave it to young Grovernor
Jennings. Pritchard saw Jennings with
the watch and it was decided that all
hould meet one night last week n
settle the matter. The meeting was
postponed until Saturday night, when
all met at Davis store the melee
began. Just how it started none seem
to be able to tell, as it all happened
in an instant, but when the smoke had
cleared away it was found that three
of the Mcpherson boys were badly cut.
two of them seriously; one having his
throat cut and the other had his ear
~&.-l --
father of the Jennings boys, aged about
sixty years, was badly cut on the
shoulder and two of the Jennings boys
were cut, one in the arm and the other
in the face. During the fight, which
lasted for some time, Mrs. Davis. in
front of whose house it occurred, acted
as surgeon, and would bind up the
wounds of each as they fell. DR.. Nc
Mullan was sent for by h Jennings
men and DR.. Sawyer by he McPher-
sons. The wounded are all doing as
we'll as could be expected under the
circumstances.
The number that were engaged in the
fight is ~variously estimated at from
| eight to ten, but the three McPhersons,
| John Pritchard and two men from Cam
den whose names were not obtained on
| the one side and Daniel Jennings, his
four sons, Hiram Eason and Claude
| Relf, seem to have mad up the COM
| batants on the other.
Those who witnessed the fight say it
! was ferocious. There were knives. brass
knucks and hickory sticks galore and
| they were used extensively and with tel
ling effect.
It is reported that the two parties in
the feud will re-organize and have 1t out
again tonight. No arrests have as yet
l been made.
