Tragic Chapter in ThaW Trial.
Death OF Juror Bottoms Wife
Put an End to Yesterdays
Proceedings.

New York, Feb. 14.-Another tragic
chapter in the history of the Thaw-
White episode was written today when
grim death stepped in to halt the
famous trial in its fourth week. The
wife of Juror Nc. IL, Mrs. Joseph B.
Bolton, passed away this afternoon
soon after her husband had reached her
bedside. He had been summoned from
the court room, where the trial had
been in progress less han Is minutes.
The formal announcement of Mrs. Boil
tons death was made in court shortly
after 2 p. M, the hour set for the after
noon session, and Justice. Fitzgerald
Immediately ordered an adjournment of
the case until next Monday morning.
The court also ordered, with the con-
sent of the counsel, tina the other IL
jurymen be given their liberty, and no
longer be held together. He admon-
ished b jurors to be guided by their
honor n their oaths and not to read
the newspapers or discuss the Thaw
case with anybody.

Observance OF Lent.

ST have been impressed with the
growing tendency OF people to observe
the penitential season OF Lent by some
act of self denial, regardless of whether
or not they are connected with a litur-
gical Or a non-liturgical church," said
one who has never made a profession
of religion.
Questionable society in all the large
cities is pretty well jaded by the time
Ash Wednesday comes, and certainly
needs a rest. Aside from religion every
n must feel benefited by temperate
living. I myself eat less during the
Lenten season than I do at other sea-
sons of the year, and yet I seldom go to
church."

UP To THE SENATE.
The Question OF Railroad Rates as
to Passenger Travel Is Now
In the Hands of
That Body.
That Body.

The lower house of the Genera AS
sembly yesterday passed the Manning
railroad rate bill, reducing the fare on
all lines upon a scale that will allow
the Seaboard to charge two and a half
cents, and the smaller lines, earning
less than ST, 900, three cents per mile,
while the Atlantic Coast Line and the
Southern will be required to charge
only 2 cents.
The fifth section in the bill relating to
the exchange OF advertising space with
newspapers was stricken out, SO that
the rules now in force will continue to
obtain between publications and the
railroads.
The bill is now with the Senate, and
that body will certainly not pass sc
radical and unfair and destructive a
measure. It has so indicated by de-
ferring action on the matter until later
in the session.

Letter to w n Barnes
Goldsboro, N. G.


Dear Sir: Ifyou should bake bread
that people like better than any other,
and at less cost by the day, you'd
have a pretty-good business, wouldn't
you?
Wehave just such a business as that
in paint; a gallon goes further than
any other gallon of paint in the coun-
try-that's bread at less cost by the
day; but the difference isn't SO small
as it is in bread. And a job wears
longer-that's bread at less cost by
the year. People hate to paint; it
C SITS money to paint; and they hate
the fuss. They like our bread by the
year.
If your bread is better than any
body-else's, and costs | SIS too, you've
got a good trade; for people do like
good bread; and people like money.
It doesn't take long to fnd-out; give
EN- time.
Butyou can't bake better-than-any-
hody-else's bread for half the usual
price for a breakfast, can you?
Devoe is just such paint as that.
The price by the gallon Or loaf is le
matter. Count by the day week
month year lifetime. Devoe is the
bread. We hope yours is as good.
Yours truly,
"a f. w. DEVOE q co.

LAW SUIT over Dog.
Two Years OF Litigation over a
Hound Valued at Five
Dollars.

Wadesboro, n. G., Feb. 15-After a
legal battle extending over two and a
half years the ownership of a speckled
hound dog was settled by a jury in the
Superior Court here Tuesday morning.
The fight was between MI. Henderson
Davis and D. B. Dunn, a well known
colorod man, both of huntsville town
ship.
The dog is hardly worth S., at the
outside, but Dunn, by the time he pays
his lawyers and the cost of the several
proceedings, will probably be out con-
siderably more than a hundred dol
lars.

CONTROL
NORMAL
SCHOOLS
Bill Will Be introduced Mon
day TO Abolish The Present
System

Several bills have already been In
troduced in each of the houses of the
legislature concerning the state nor
NAL schools and making appropria
tions for their mantainance. All OF
these have been referred to the com.
mittoes on education in the respec-
tive houses.
An other bill more radical than
any OF these will be introduced Mon
day. probably In both branches OF the
legislature simultaneously, TO do
away with the entire normal school
system and place the normal schools
OF oregon under the control OF a
state board OF regents which will be
composed OF the state board OF edu-
cation and two additional members,
one TO reside in each OF the two
towns where the schools are located.
The board will be given the power to
abolish all the schools but two and
will also have the power to select
these two schools. The bill carries an
appropriation OF $4,000.
II Is understood that Smith. OF
Marion, will introduce the bill in the
senate and Il has not been decided |
who will be It's sponsor in the lower
house.
IL II not believed that the bill in
ita present form will pass the senate
although II may be hipped through
the house. IL Is said that this will
be regarded In the senate as a viola
