The entering of a bed room in
which a person or persons are sleep
ing is burglary in the first degree
and punishable by death, and if the
guilty parties are apprehended they
will be summarily dealt with.
Last night about 1880 o'clock OFF,
Ger Fulghum, who vas standing at
Parker & Faulkner's corner, discov-
cred an object moving along in the
darkness on Walnut street about
midway the block and as he could
not hear anyone walking, decided
to find out what it was. He very
cautiously approached and it began
to move as fast or faster than him.
self. He was getting too close to be
comfortable and the object, which
proved to be a man, b%arefooted, took
down the alley near the Go]dsboro
Shoe Company's store, and disap-
peared in the darkness.
Mr.. Fulghum secured a lantern
for it was distressingly Oakland
tracked the person to where they
went out to John street, where he
lost sight of the trail.
It is thought that this was one of
the party of burglars, and that he
was up to some meanness when dis
covered.

Play Ball.

The baseball fever is raging right
fercely in the north eastern corner
of the State this year and several
towns now have an epidemic.
The closest town to Goldsboro in
fected by the disease is Fremont.
The sport has been going on there for
some time and interest is increasing.
They have games arranged with
Elm City, Rocky Mount, Tarboro,
Enfield, Washington and Newbern.
They are playing what is called right
fast ball and are drawing large
crowds to see them.
Two young men of Fremont,
Messrs. Watson and Whitley, both
good ball players, wer here today
arranging to give Goldsboro about
two games each week. G%oldsboro is
much larger than Fremont and of
course the games would be more ex-
tensively patronized if pulled off
here than at Fremont. They re-
ceived right much encouragement
and no doubt that Goldsboro people
will soon have an opportunity to
witness some of the games.
This will be glad news to lovers of
the sport in this city, and we assure
them a cordial welcome and a large
attendance at every game.

EiQht Men Drowned.

Anglesea, n. j., July 30.-Two
yachts coming in from the fishing
banks capsized on Hereford Inlet
Bar, off here, yesterday, and eight
persons lost their lives. There were
thirty-two persons on one yacht, of
whom seven were lost and twelve on
the other, all of whom but one were
saved.
That no more fell victims to the
rough sea was due to Captain Lud-
lam, of the Hereford Inlet Life-Sav-
ing Station, and a crew Of five men.
The boats were driven in and cap
sized by a violent wind.

MAKER OF MATCHES.

Sometimes the japanese govern.
ment does not proceed along its
chosen path without stubbing its toes.
One of its cherished designs is to add
to its lucrative business the exclusive
manufacture of matches.
This is quite in line with the rest
for the match industry in one OF
the sprouts of government culture,
and speaking generally the govern
mental policy seems to be that as
soon as an industry begins to make
profits from sales aboard, that in
dustry is to be added to the govern
ment's enterprises. Accordingly, a
bill was prepared two years ago for
the taking over of all the math fac
tories.
AS we have tried to point out be-
fore, the battle between private gain
and the common good is worldwide.
In Japan the influences correspond
ing to our Rockefellers and Morgans
are chiefly comprised in the great
Mitsui family.
The Mitsuis own banks, railroads
and factories. They were heavily in
terested in the match business, and
did not relish the prospective loss of
its rich profits. Moreover, in COM
mon with other great families they
regarded the governments intrusion
into trade as revolutionary, fraught
with peril to the better classes, and
not to be endured by those to whom
Providence in, it's wisdom had in
trusted the property interests of the
country. So they brought certain
influences to bear upon the national
house of representatives and defeat
ed the match bill.
1t was like America; experienced
Americans watching the progress OF
the bill almost fancied they were at
home.
The government was defeated, and
the match bill was dropped. But the
japanese are patient; they can al.
ways wait. The match bill is COM
ing up again before long, and this
time it will pass.
This is not a government that must
needs twice learn its lessons. It haG
it's lesson about matches and the
Mitsuis. Consequently it is nov
proceeding in a way to eliminate the
Mitsuis from its future problems.

1t appears that the old gentleman
held on to his coin up to the last
gasp.
Which may not indicate that he
was any better OF any worse than
the majority of folks.
It may only mean that he chose
the easier horn of the dilemma which
every conspicuously rich man has
presented to him.
If a millionaire shell out his mil
lions in large sensational wads there
are always a lot of people who say:
80, sure, he can give his money
away. 1t doesn't mea anything
to him. There's no real CHARITY
in such ~ostentation. AS a charitable
real thing, he isn't IT at all. He
not only lets his left hand know
what his right hand does, but he
must call in the reporters and let
them know, too! His church and
college donations and so forth and the
libraries and things be scatters around
don't represent real charity. They
represent his own vanity. His fifty
millions of gifts are all to the bad
when compard with the windows
mite!" And so forth.
That's what a lot of people say if
the multi-milionaire DOES give
away his coin.
If he DOES NOT give it away, he
is simply a miser, a blind money
grub, and 50 forth.
MI. Sage probably looked the
ground over and decided to sit steady
in the boat. 1t was a cussing from
some one either way, no matter
what he did. So he kindly sat still
and posed for the c~aricature artists
and the joke-smiths, and the fedge-
ling philosophers who delighted to
out how extremely unhappy
he must be.
And what people in general think
about the matter worries him in an
even less degree now than it ever has
before, in all probability.

BOLD ROBBERIES
Tire Homes Enter
ed Last Night.
GET MUCHLOOT
The Robbers Work in a Pro-
fessional Way-A Sum of
Money Secured at Each
Place, Together With 9th
er Articles Families
Not Awakened by the In
truders.

There was wholesale burglary in
this city last night or early this
morning. The first place entered
| was the home of MI. F. r. Hall, an
employee of the A. & N. @. Co., who
lives on John street, next to Mr..
S. W. Draper. The window of the
bed room in which he and his wife
and children YER sleeping was left
open and it was through this window
that the thieves entered. Mr.. Hall's
pants was hanging On a chair near
the bed and from the pockets the
thieves secured 81. 60 in money, and
departed without disturbing any
member of the family.
The next place visited was the
home of Mr.. David M. Van Hoy,
engineer at the Borden Cotton Mills.
Here the thieves secured $500 liz
money and two gold watches. An
entrance a perfected by raising the
window. The burglars entered the
bed room in which Mr.. Van Hoy
and his, wife were sleeping and Sc
cured the money from his overall
pockets, which were thrown under
the bed when he retired. They then
made a search Of the house and &C.
cured q Of the watches, which
belonged to Mr.. Van Hoys wife's
sister, from under the pillow, in an
ABIDING room, she being away from
home. While all this was going on
no Z in the house was aroused and
knew nothing of what had happened
until this morning.
Mr.. M. D. Rivenbark another en-
ploye of the Borden Cotton Mill was
the largest loser of money. The
thieves also entered his home in the
same manner, and took from his
pants pockets $1,000 in cash, and a
tobacco pouch. Mr.. Rivenbark's
pants were near his bed.
It was evident that the thieves
made a thorough search of the house,
but nothing else has been missed.
The mystery about the whole af-
fair is that three homes were burg
larized and in neither place no MEM
Der of family awoke while the house
was being pilfered.
The thieves made good their
escape leaving no trace of identity
behind.
The police are at work On the case
but they have little ground upon
which to work.
It was a bold, daring piece of
work, and must have been accom-
plished by professionals in the bust
ness.

Americans are slowly awaking to
the commercial value of preserving
natural wonders and objects of historic
interest An important factor in the
prosperity of Italy and other nations
of the old world is the tourist trade
1t has been estimated that the money
spent by tourists in Italy constitutes a
third income of that country. Entry
of the United States into the galaxy o!
world powers has greatly increased its
value from the standpoint of the tour
lists, and steamship companies report a
marked increase in the last few years
in the number Of foreign visitors to
this country. Hitherto Americans

The Positive Life

Dr.. L H. Gulick. writing about the
best way TO keep In health in the
Worlds Work, says: The real heart
Of the problem is psychological. We
are Just beginning to understand the
part that good thinking holds in good
health. Our thoughts are Just as real
part OF us are our bodies A man
who persists in thinking unhealthy
thoughts can no more keep sound and
healthy in body than a man who vlo-
lates all the physical laws of his ma
ture. A mans mental attitude Is
fundamental. Il is a well-known fact
that the number Of deaths In an army
defeated and on the retreat Is enor-
mously greater than In an army upon
q victorious march. The mental atti-
tude Of defeat, Of encouragement, low
srs the resisting power of the inii-
vidual. 1t predisposes him to disease.
The whole tone of his system is let
down. The aggressive, the positive.
the confident state of mind is the one
that wins out over obstacles, The
man who keeps on the defensive all
the time, dreading danger. fighting
against bad influences. avoiding dis
ease, not only wastes an enormous
amount Of energy, but also lessons his
own chances, II is not the defensive
but the aggressive attitude that pro-
tscts man. The normal way the
ehcient way. Is to turn ones thoughts
to something worth while, to AL the
mind with healthy thoughts. This is
sound psychology. You can't drag a
thing out Of the mind: but 1t will go
of itself II you put something else In
its place. A determined pursuit of
good thoughts Of healthy thoughts, is
the only means of getting rid Of the
other kind"

The Cheerful Man.

The cheerful man is prominently
useful man, says o. s. Marden, In
an analysis of his character in the
Success Magazine The cheerful man
sees that everywhere the good outbal.
ances the bad, and that every evil has
its compensating balm. A habit Of
cheerfulness enables one to transmute
apparent misfortunes into real bless
ings. He who has formed a habit Of
looking at the bright. happy side Of
things has great advantage over
the chronic dyspeptic who sees no
good in anything. The cheerful man 8
thought sculptures his face into beau
ty and touches his manner with grace.
II was Lincoln's cheerfulness and
sense of humor that enabled him to
stand under the terrible load of the
civil war If we are cheerful and con-
tented all nature smiles with us; the
air Is balmier, the sky clearer, the
earth has brighter green, the trees
have richer foliage, the flowers are
more fragrant, the birds sing more
sweetly and the sun, moon and stars
are more beautiful. All good thought
and good action claim a natural al
lance with good cheer. High-minded
cheerfulness is found in great souls.
self-poised and confident in their own
heaven-aided powers. Serene cheer
fulness is the great preventive of hui
manity's ills. Grief, anxiety and fear
are the great enemies of human life,
and should be resisted as we resist
the plague. Cheerfulness Is their an.
tidote. Without cheerfulness there
can be no healthy action, physical.
mental or moral, for 1t Is the normal
atmosphere of our being.
