Gastonia Gazette, March 26: Mr.. and
Mrs. A. D. Dorsett Of Bessemer City,
were in town yesterday on their re-
turn home from a visit in Yorkville,
S. Co.,. There were two cases be-
fore Rev. ]. A. Hoyle Sunday. At the
residence Of Mr.. L. ]. Williams near
the Old Mill at a. m., Mr.. w. Ed
Ross and Miss Susie Revis were before
the preacher. At the residence OF Mr..
]. G. Selvey of the Loray, at 1.3O p.
m. Miss Bessie Selvey and Mr.. w. M.
Wood wanted the preachers assist
ance. Both cases were disposed Of to
the great satisfaction of all interested
and the youthful offenders went their
way rejoicing. .... One OF our rural
free delivery route carriers going out
from Gastonia is up against 1t. He
wants some one to go over the route
with him in order that he may have
some assistance in cleaning out the
wasp nests from the mail boxes he
serves. On this particular route the
owners of boxes have allowed these
insects to build their nests In the
boxes and every time the carrier de-
posits mail in them he has to fight 1t
out with the miscreants, often getting
a. % thA
wants some one to go with him but,
as the regulations don't allow another
person to traverse the route with
the carrier, he Is up against
It himself. -. An amusing and inter-
esting blind tiger case was tried be-
fore Mayor Dixon yesterday afternoon
at the city hall. John Mccullough was
charged with selling a pint of whisky
to one Ned Wood, who appeared
against him. One of the principal
features Of the case was the star wit
ness, Julia Corn, with whom McCoi-
Tough lived when in Gastonia. Julia
lives on Reid Row with her husband.
Saturday night when the officers raid
Gu ueT lIOuSC III oCoIiSh Va
Tough, Julia tried to escape with a
jug of juice under her apron. When
asked by the mayor where she got her
whisky, she replied that her daugh-
ter-in-law got it in York county dis
pensary and gave it to her for her bad
cold. She also stated that she kept a
"gingy ale" bottle full behind her flour
barrel. Mccullough has been in trou-
BILE before. He is a Charlotte negro
and makes weekly trips to Gastonia
with his grip" laden with jugs and
the like. He stated that he had not
sold any whisky for he had not been
to Salisbury. Mayor Dixon. however,
decided otherwise and held him under
a bond of $50 for retailing and like
bond for carrying a concealed weapon.

His STORY OF THE DIsAsTER.-Inci-
dents Of the war with Spain were be-
ing related the other evening at ses-
sion of the Soldiers Union of the First
Congregational church, when Isaac N.
Dolph, who saw service on the high
seas in 1898 under the command Of
Capt. Sigsbee on the auxiliary cruiser
st. Paul, related story as told by a
son of Erin who was on the Inflated
battleship Maine when it was blown
up. The Irishman, who was rated as
one of the best sailormen Of the crew
OF the Maine. was requested to relate
his thrilling experience at the time of
the explosion in Havana harbor. He
was before an audience, ana advancing
to the front Of the stage he bowed low
and in faltering voice said:
"Frinds, it were thus way: I were
asleep below in me bunk little dream
in what were goin' ter happen. There
were hill ov a Mise, an whin walked
up the nurse said, Sit up, Pat, an

THE PATCH AS A GUIDE.-A New
Englander recently had occasion to
engage a gardener. One morning two
applicants appeared-one decidedly
decent looking man. and the other OF
much less prepossessing appearance
and manner.
After very little hesitation, the man
of the house chose the latter applicant.
A friend who was present evinced
surprise at the selection, asking.
Has that man ever worked for you
before?"
NO" replied the other; 'in fact 1
never saw either Of them before to-
day"
Then why did you choose the
shorter man? The other had much
the better face"
"Face!" exclaimed the proprietor or
the place in disgust. Let me tell you
that, when you pick out gardener,
you want to go by his overalls. II
they're patched on the knees you want
him. II the patch is on the seat OF
the trousers you don't"

AT WINDSOR.
How Guests Are Treated at King Ed
wards Castle.

How Guests Are Treated at King Ed
wards Castle.
The recent visit of Mr.. John Burns
to Windsor Castle at the invitation OF
King Edward was unique, inasmuch as
the president Of the local government
board is probably the only labor repre-
sentative who has been honored with
an invitation to dine and sleep at the
royal residence by the reigning sover-
eign Of the country.
It must have been a curious expe-
rience for one who was obliged to
, commence the struggle for livelihood
at ten years Of age to be saluted by
sentries as the guest of the king and
to be relieved Of even his handbag by
a royal footman.
Any one, however, who Is invited to
dine with their majesties Is waited up
on in practically the same manner as
the king and queen would be them
selves. II large party from London
are asked to spend the night at Wind
sor Castle a special train is provided,
and royal servants attend in order to
wait upon the guests In the case OF
Mr.. Burns. a special carrie &c was re-
served for him, and a closed carriage,
drawn by pair Of horses in charge of
position, met him at Windsor.
While, of course, the ordinary rules
Of royal etiquette are observed, there
Is always an absence Of rigid formal
ity when commoners dine with the
king His majesty acts the part OF
genial host to perfection. and with his
usual tact never fails to put his guests
quite at ease.
During the after dinner smoke he
throws off all reserve. and jokes and
chats with his guests just as an ordi-
nary individual. Their majesties usu-
ally retire from the company about 1C
or IL o'clock, although that does not
mean that the guests must do likewise
They may please themselves in exact
ly the same way as If they were al
home. That their movements are In
nowise restricted by any form OF eti.
quette Is shown by the fact that Mr.
Burns, the morning following his visit
to Windsor Castle, was up at o'clock
and was looking round the grounds
between and 8.
Their majesties seldom breakfas
with their guests. Sometimes they
give their farewell greetings the pre-
vious evening, II the guest is leaving
the following morning. Usually, how
ever both the king and queen sa!
goodby to any one who has been stay
ing at the castle just before the CUES

say a word regarding command" the

At one time the reigning sovereign mo-

also paid the actors and actresses a.

Queen Victoria, however, made it
rule with all her guests that sh'
should bear the travelling expenses
and King Edward has always followed

SOCIAL IN HONOR OF HER
SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS

Mrs. NJ S. Reynolds gave one OF
those delightful social entertainments
to the members of her Sunday school
class and their friends for which she
is SO famous at her home Monday
night, and to say that it was a pleas
ant affair is to state it mildly. There
are fifteen or more young men in Mrs.
Reynolds Sunday school class, some
of whom have been members of it
since she began teaching it twelve
years ago. Monday night a cores
ponding number of young ladies were
invited and a most interesting pro-
gram of entertainment provided for
their delectation.
Chaplain Blake of the penitentiary
gave number of highly diverting
recitations and Rev. j. T. Thomas
read several selections from James
Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier poet, all
of which proved very enjoyable.
Games of various kinds also afforded
much amusement, and with the other
features of the program combined to
produce an evening of more than Or
dinary pleasure. The refreshments
were of the most generous and ap-
petizing character. English adjectives
are inadequate to express the appre-
citation OF the guests with the evenings

The Chaffee county teachers who
had planned an excursion to Canon
City on Friday to take the place of
the regular fall meeting of their asso-

in the morning, but it was nine hours
late and the visit was given up. Coun-
ty Superintendent McGinnis had writ
ten Mrs. Merriam that between forty
and fifty teachers would be here and
their failure to make the trip was a
disappointment to the school author
tiles here, who had arranged for their
entertainment while In Canon City.
A reception was to have been given
the visitors by the w. G. T. U. at the
First Methodist church Friday night.
Whether they will arrange to come
