The Bells of England,

The metal tongue of the big bell
rings out many changes to u modern
ears. 1t speaks of disaster and death,
of rejoicing and devotion. In England
it often tells of olden time and quaint
customs. MT. Ditchfeld, in a book on
old England, gives some of the tradi-
tons handed down through the tin
tinnabulation of the bells"
In some parts Of the country the
bell which tolls the old year out is
service and is called Pudding bell"
In western England the bells peal
merrily On Oak Apple Day" to cele-
brate the escape of King Charles at
Boscobel. Another bell, rung at the
beginning of lent, is known as pan
cake bell" because in old-time phrase,
it summons people way from their
pancakes to confession and fasting.
A lively peal of bells is often rung
at the end of the Sunday morning SER
vice and is called pudding bell" Per
haps its purpose is to announce to the
stay-at-homes that service is ove and
that the pudding may come out OF the
oven.
Every night at sos Great Tom,'
the great bell of Christ Church Col
lege at Oxford booms out its ponder

WEEK OF
Junior Order Carnival From May eth
to 18th Inclusive-Jniors Promise
That IL Will be One of Best Attrac-
tons Of Kind Ever Here.

The week from May 7th to 18th in
elusive will be the time that the big
street fair which is to be brought to
Wilmington by the Junior Order will
be in full blast. The Juniors are
promising the public the best a.trac-
ton of the kind that has we been
given in this city and no expense
will be spared to make it a thorough
success. An effort will be made To
get the railroad to give low rates from
nearby points and it is believed that
the request will be granted. Posters
will be displayed in all the nearby
Gowns, which means that the big
street fair will be well advertised and
this should aus it to attract a large
crowd.
In some of the attractions of this
kind that have been to Wilmington
there have been shows that were of
a very indecent character but the
gentlemen having in charge the ar
rangements for the present carnival
say that no such show will be toleraC-
ed and they will do what they say: A
number of special policemen will be
sworn in for the occasion to keep Or
der. The executive committee has
signed up a contract with the Pierce
Amusement company.
At a meeting of the executive com
mittee the following subcommittee
were appointed to assis them during
the street fair.
Executive Committee-Walter E..
Yopp, John e. Wood. James A. Jor-
dan, S. K. Devany, Andrew j.. Hew-
lett.
Ticket Collectors-W. H. Lane,
chairman; G. F. G. Tienken and S.

DEATH IN A
Accidental Scratch on the Note Pro-
duces Death. Within a Week.

The official Investigation Of the
death of a woman Of Twenty-Five
years, wno died lea this city under
peculia" circumstances has led to an
interesting discovery It was found
that the woman. who was just recov-
ering from an attack Of Influenza, ac-
cidently scratched her lose with 4
variety of primrose, brought from
central China and known under the
botanical name of pdimula obconica.
The nose rapidly swelled up and be-
came discolored, and despite ,surgi-
cal treatment the poison continued to
spread. The patient died at the end
of the week with symptoms of pneu-
mOnia.
This is the third case Of acute in
flamatiOn of the skin and subcutan-
eous tissues reported to the medical
authorities, caused by infection
through primula obeonica. In every
case the infection took place in the
face. 1t is also reported that a spe-
cies of eczema of the hands often af-
fects gardeners when attending this
plant--London Dispatch.

REPUBLICANS TO MEET
A Republican Club Will be Organized
i'm This City at q Meeting to be Held
ON Monday Night.

An advertisement appears i'll today's
paper where the chairman off the New
Hanover county republican executive
committee, Mr.. Thomas E. Wallace,
gives notice that It meeting will be held
in Germania lodge hall on Monday
night at which time a republican club
will be organized in his county.
It was stated some time ago that
such a club was to be organized but
this is the first notice of a meeting Of
such a purpose. Nothing has been
made known yet as to what curse the
republicans of New Hanover expect to
pursue in the coming campaign. Some
time ago it was said that a full repub-
lican ticket would be put in the field
but nothing definite has been heard in
regard to this recently. These seems
to be no doubt but what the party will
be well organized even if candidates
are not put in the field.

II is to be doubted if any city in
North Carolina will. contribute as
much towards rendering assistance to
the San Francisco sufferers as the
lefty Of Wilmington. Two thousand
dollars will hardly cover the amount
Ialready given and this will probably
be increased during the next few days.
Thus far no town in the state has
as much as Wilmington. That
is as a city. Others may have given
more individually and in fact one firm
in Greensboro sent a check to the
mayor for 81 1000.
