An agent of the British Government
who visited AIbyssina some years ago
wished ito return the favor of native
official by some suitable present. The
bestowal of this was, however, mat
ter quite beyond the knowledge of one
brought UP in the court circles Of
Western civilization. His experience
was instructive.
sThe arrangement was badly hand
led" he says, and when arrived
several persons besides the high official
were present. After a few light topics
had been discussed I mentioned my
object in making the visit, and as no
offer was made to dismiss the bystand-
ers exhibited my donation

proffered gift, while strong inward
feeling found vent in a rocking motion

the stranger in the land. Devotion to
my sovereign and country is amply re-
paid by the internal consciousness of
rectitude. Your Intentions are doubt

PARIS OFF THE BEATEN TRACK
Some Interesting Suggestions for Ro-
nance Loving Tourists.

Some Interesting Suggestions for Ro-
manee-Loving Tourists.
Paris in spring and early summer is
in her most charming mood One OF
the delights of life in this gay and
artistic city, is the existence out OF
doors. There is sunlight everywhere
ones first impression Is a mingled one
of white and gray building with bright
awnings, Of parks and squares, and
trees and flowers everywhere. Paris
can set a lesson to every other city in
the world when it comes to the keeping
of her memory green. One can hardly
go few steps, but that there is a con-
slant reminder of the season. There
are so many charming old houses with
courts in the middle in which are verl-
table parks and the wayfarer gets a
glimpse Of these through the half-oper
gates. Paris is theatrical and in its
best temper is not unlike the setting OF
an opera bouffe. But you go there to
enjoy yourself, and, after all it is not
ro-day more wicked, than any other
metropolis,
But there is a. serious side to Paris
if you wish to consider it and there are
few cities more interesting. The only
trouble is that the majority of travel
ers think of Paris o sa place of theaters,
restaurants, the Bots, shops and con-
tinual holiday-making. They seldom
go out of the beaten path and are salts
fed with the stick sights. To the
students Of art, music, or architecture
stay in Paris can be made most use
full and enjoyable. Put out of mind

after three others, and it is said that
a gang Of eight Or ten tramp negroes
are "roosting" about the coal shute
and greatly annoying the people in
h southwestern outskirts Of the
town. A white man, totally unknown
here, who walks about with kid
gloves on, is their leader, and they
are evidently a band Of thieves.
The funeral services took place yes
terday afternoon over the remains Of
Mr.. Elijah Shepherd, who removed
from Fayetteville to Sanford some
time ago. The remains were brought
down yesterday, and the services were
conducted by Rev. D.. H. futile, with
Masonic honors at the grave. Mr..
Shepherd was a veteran railroad man,
his service dating back to the early

much esteemed in this community.
Mr.. F. B. CorthWaite, a Washing

THE CITY HOTEL PROJECT
Public Meeting to be Held at
Court House Tuesday Night.
Efforts to Arouse the Interest of all
the Citizens-PromOters ENCOURAGED
by the Aid Already P1edged-Pfans
OF the Company WIZ be Fully Ex-
planned.

The promoters of the movement for
a new hotel in this city have called
a meeting to which every citizen that
is interested is invited, to be held at
the county cOur house, on TUESDAY
night at 8 O'Clock. At that time the
plans of the company Will be fully
explained and all the details of tue
proposed improvement VIII De gone
into thoroughly. 1t is the desire that
the citizens may thoroughly qua
themselves with all the questions IN
connection with the enterprise, those
behind h movement having the con-
victiOn that if the conditions are
really understood, there will be 10
lack Of encouragement Or support.
The promoters are busy at present
getting subscriptions for the new
hotel and it is stated by authority
that they feel encouraged BY the sup
port that is pledged them.
The public meeting Will be held
with the purpose in view of arousing
the interest Of all the people in the
city, SO that it may be a public
enterprise, and one not backed en-
tirely by one or tWo capitalists. It is
known that outside aid can be secured
if the Wilmington people show by
their actions their belief in the de-
STABILITY o fthe project.
It is not necessary again to refer 10
the need Of more hotel facilities in
this city, without ~discounting in the
least the accommodations and service
| of the hotels already here.
A new and modern hotel, with the
advantages and attractions that would
| of necessity be offered, would be a
| great thing for this city, its worth as
am cans Of attracting people here be-
ing far more than can accurately be
estimated.
Wilmington has all the natural
| gifts that appeal to northern tourists.
It's climatic and other physical con
ditions are not surpassed by those of
any city in the country and with the
accommodations offered that would
appeal to that class of people, there
is no reason to believe other than
that they would come here in large
numbers, to spend the winter months.
The Importance of the subject to
the city should be the guarantee that
the meeting Tuesday will be very
largely attended.
