A Pleasant Surprise.
New York Herald. 9th.l

NANS" L AOloIOs OEdsJ
Louis Carr, a trolley Car conductor at
Patterson, N. j., has just been notified by
Waldo G. Morse, attorney, No. 10 Wall
street, that he is heir to a legacy Of $50,
600, bequeathed to him by his uncle, Rob-
ert Carr, who was a wealthy Photographic
supply manufacturer in Basic, Switzerland,
and died six months ago.
81 nave shaken myself repeatedly, and
questioned myself to find out if | am in a
trance, for l can hardly brlieye l am SD
fortunate, said the conductor yesterday.
He intends to stick to the car until he has
secured the cash.
Carr studied for the priesthood in a
Jesuit college in Germany, but his father
met with financial reverses and he was
compelled to leave college. Carr made
his way to London. When he arrived
there he found himself with three francs.
He worked his passage to this country and
became a cowboy in Arkansas. About a
year ago he arrived in Patterson.

Hendersonville was expecting us and
had a CARR .ge tdr every one of the editors,
if we had chosen to ride in solitary state,
which We didn't, at the depot awaftisg Us.
II was nearly noon when we arrived and
we were taken at oLce to the Blue Ridge
Inn where luncheon had been provoked for
our party. We were first, however, taken
to the top of Hendersonville's court house
that we might get a binds eye view OF the
civ and see in the distance the mountains
in every direction that surround this pre-
gresssve little city. The view was superb,
and the weather propitious. We no long,
er wondered al the fame of Henderson
vile. Nature has been lavish and mau has
seen the possibilities and taken advantage
of them. Wide Streets, handsome homes
each on its own particular hill, with all the
trimmings by way oftrees and shrubs OF a
natural growth only needing a cultivated
taste to convert the wilderness into a para
disc,
The luncheon served US at about 1:3J
pm. was an enjoyable oneln which the
best of the season and the city were served;
this included chicken pie and strawberry
shortcake. Shortly afterwards the party
were taken IN carriages to various points OF
interest in and about the city. A drive
that lasted until nearly train time.
hendersonville and its hospitable, oper-
hearten citizens will always have a sacred
spot in tue memory loyal Floridians, FOR in
1888 when the yellow fever became epidem-
ic in our cities Hendersonville instead of
quarantining ag~iust US opened her gates
wide to the fleeing thousands, some OF
them already infected, that sought safety
in fight. The people in Hendersonville
felt sure no yellow fever germs could live
and multiply among her mountains, and
their faith was, that dreadful summer, a
source of help and comfort to us that we
can never forget.
Hendersonville is popular as a summer
resort for. those living south aud is also be-
coming famous in the north as IN ideal
place in which to spend the summer and
part of the spriug months taking it en-
route after spending January, February
and March in Florida then take April,
May and June in North Carolina before
returning farther north
The handsome booklet issued by the
Hendersonville board of trade is one of the
best priced souvenirs of our outing. We
prize it for the information it contains and
for the excellent portraits of several mem
bers of the board of trade who did so much
to make our little visit enjoyable. T. R.
Barrows, editor of The French Broad Hus-
tier, also deserves honorable mention as
having shown US many cOurtesles.

BLACKBURN DEFEATED.
Organization Republicans said
TO be after his Scalp as Repre-
sentative from de Ate"
Special to the Gazette News.

J. ODCCthI W In wv D.
Greensboro. July l4.-The last vestige
of the republican State convention was
removed yesterday when the big Black
burn sign fronting the Benbow hotel
and the republican state headquarters
of the executive committee which was
swung across the street from the Gull
ford hotel building were cut down. The
last n of Blackburn's cohorts have al
so departed leaving the Congressman
here all alone in his glory. or his sulks.
But if Blackburn is sulking he does
not show it. He declares that he is not
dismayed in the least, and his r~e-elec-
ton to congress is now assured, since it
is up to the state committee to see that
he is elected, and its assistance which
he did not have two years ago, in addi-
tioE to the devotion of his constituents
in the Eighth district will give him q
big advantage over his chances two
years ago. Close friends of BIaekbu. n
declare that the fight against the organ
ization or federal oficeholders' trust as
he calls it, this time was a small affa r
o what it will be two years herce. BY
that time they say that Blackburn VIII
have an overwhelming victory, and
being presidential year, it will be worth
a great deal more than a victory would
have meant this time.
They claim that securing the p cd ge
from the State committee to help elect
Blackburn in the Eighth district was in
itself a victory for him, and accom- plish-
ed about all he sought, except to pre-
pare the way for a bigger fight next
time, by ''the rank and fle." There is
evidently to be DO. let up by Blackburn's
friends on the Butler domination racket
They are indignantly relating that
while the organization did not dare let
Butler put his foot in the convention
hall or exhibit himself on the day of the
conventions, yet nearly all the night be-
fore and after the convention, Butler,
Adams, Rollens and Duncan were in
conference behind closed doors, plotting
the. first night how to hold their forces
together against Blackburn in the con
VentiOn and the night after it had been
done, devising ways and means to defeat
Blackburn for congress-. A strong
Blackburn man here yesterday told that
he overheard Butler declare with an
oath, while he and Rollins and Adam,
and others were in a room in the Ben
bow hotel after 3 o'clock in the morn
ing-"we must never let the --

An Organ 700 Years Old.

William c. Carl brought back
with him from Japan pipe organ
of ancient make which he believes
will prove a revelation to modern
instrument builders.
The organ is 700 years old, but,
Notwithstanding this fact, embodies
practically all the improvements
which present day builders regard as
new. The pipes are of bamboo, and
the instrument is in a good state of
preservation. Mr.. Carl also brought
home large collection of japanese
music arranged in modern notation.
Previous to thirty years ago, he says,
all the native music was handed
down from one generation to another
in characters, but since the estab-
lishment of an academy at Toxic a
great impetus has been given to all
classes of music, and more than 500
students were in attendance at that
institution when Mr.. Carl visited it.

INITIATING TORTOISE SHE'LL

manufacturer, 'and yet the resem-
blance is often so close that | need
more than a glance to determine
whether a comb is real tortoise or

"The minor distinctions that are
noted by an experienced man are al
most imperceptible to an ineXperi-
enced person, who is examining the
better class of limitations. Yet in APP
pearance, touch and smell there are
peculiarities which reveal to the ex-
pert whether the comb is of real
shell or not
years ago the trade depended
mostly on bone or horn, with which

some fine work was done. But horn
has been getting more and more
scarce since the farmers took to rails
ing hornless cattle and the prices
have gone up so that they are more
than double what they were ten
years ago.
"Now little horn is used for this
purpose and there is a variety of 9TH
er substitutes, the chief of which is
easily celluloid. We can produce
in celluloid more beautiful combs
