Where dickens Was Born.

The house in which Charles Dickens
was born, 3S7 Commercial road, Land
port, Portsmouth, is to be offered by
public auction on September 20. 1t is
pointed out that the historical value
of the residence is increased by the
fact that no other monument to the
great novelist exists in his native town,
and the suggestions is made that the
house should be acquired for the start
ing Of Dickens Museum. A hint has
been given to the Portsmouth branch
Of the Dickens Fellowship, and it is
hoped that they may take the matter
up.
For very many years the house has
been the property of the Pearce family,
of Portsea, and the grandfather Of Mr..
Pearce "a Portsmouth solicitor) was
the landlord of John Dickens, and is
spoken Of as the original "AIr. Micaw-
ber" Among other articles In the pos
session of the Pearce family is the
rent book, which proves the novelist's
occupation of the house in question.
Charles Dickens was born at the
house on February 7, 1912, and was
the second son. His father was a
clerk in the Navy Pay Office, and had
married the sister Of a fellow clerk
he had met at Somerset House.
The house has six or seven rooms,
with a garden at the back, and is gen.
orally of an old-fashioned design
throughout 1t has remained empty
for some little time.
The passerby has his attention drawn
to the interesting character of the
building by brass plate inserted in
the pavement.-London Daily News.

"a story strikingly illustrative of Lord
Salisbury's bad memory for faces was
told just a little while previous to his
resignation of the premiership. An ell
derly Liberal-Unionist baronet, of
somewhat Lilliputian stature, was
among the considerable number Of In
vited guests to garden party at Hat
field. In the course Of the afternoon
Lord Salisbury laid hold of the bar
onet's arm. saying, Il want a quiet
word with you" 1t was at the time of
one of the ''regrettable incidents" of
the war; aud the guest, who had just
returned from a hasty visit to South
Africa, was delighted, though scarcely
surprised, to fHd that the premier's
next remark, as they turned aside,
showed a keen desire to obtain his
view of the Situation. The baronet at
once poured forth his criticisms on the
recent events Of the war with the
freedom and certainty that are the
characteristics of the civilian, and the
premier honored him with by far the
longest conversation Of the whole af-
ternoon. On reiolning the family
group, his nephew remarked to Lord
Salisbury: 81 am particularly glad that
you recognized Sir -, but what did

TO SAVE EXUM'S LIFE.

Sentence of Death to Imprison-

Two delegations were here yesterday
in the matter of a Communication of the
sentence to death of William EXum
for the murder of Guy Walston about
q year ago in Lenoir county. One del
cation asked for the Communication,
the other opposed it. EXum is under
sentence to be hanged on the goth of
September.
The hearing was before Governor
Glenn and in behalf Of the commute
ton Ex-Governor c. B. Aycock, OF
Goldsboro, spoke. He urged that
there was no generalization shown
and at the worst the case was only one
of murder in the second degree. Mr..
Emmett Wooten, of the rm of WOOten
& Wooten, of KinstOn, opposed the
Communication and urged that premedi~
taton had been shown, quoting the
decision of the Supreme Court in the
case. Governor Glenn asked many
questions of the petitioners, all these
along the line of premeditatiOn. His
decision is reserved.
Here on behalf of Exum were his
half brother. Mr.. Josiah EXum, OF
Snow Hill and his brother-in-law,
Mr. Josiah Dixon, of GreenVille. OPP
