STRIKE TO END NEXT WEEK.

New York, August 30.-The strike
of the telegraph operators will come IS
an end by next week, according to pro-
phecies by both the strike leaders and
the company managers. The opposing
leaders are, by no means, agreed as ID
what will bring about the settlement.
On that point they appear as wildly
apart as at any time since the strike
began. D. L. Russell of the telegraph
ers union, in announcing his belief
that the trouble is near an end, said
next Wednesday, will see a complete
capitulation of the companies with the
granting of all the demands made by
the strikers. Superintendent Brooks,
of the Western Union, said he believed
that the pockets of the strikers will
lead to solution of the trouble.
Some of the men already are returning
to their old places. he said. and he
looks for a general break in the ranks
of the strikers by the middle OF the

Flour milling shows increased activity

both flour and wheat at advanced

From the hour we set out from

field was dominated by Overwhelming
ambition and resistless purpose. he
climbed rapidly by successive steps.
His own little comedy, Monsieur his
dual creation in DR.. Jekyl and Mr..

non-success of Nero Ten Thousand

Peru only nerved him to later achieve

resentative actor. fiji
Mansfield was a nervous, excitable
man of rapidly alternating moods,
given to fits of morbidity and suspi"
cion. His early death was a foregone
conclusion. A splendid athlete, he did
not conserve his vital forces. He was
a disciplinarian to the point of being
a Martinez. but his aim was always ar
tistic. Unfortunately he was given to
regard his fellows from a wrong angle
and he was subject TO the delusion thot
mankind was arrayed against him. Ex-
cessively nervous, given to the ex-
aggeration of small annoyances mucc
of this due to heridity, his courage
was superb an his sense of justice
acute
There was perhaps no other man in
America who could take a mixed com.
pany Of men, representative in the arts
and public life, and entertain them at
the table with such infinite courtesy,
grace and tact. Mansfield was surely
no scyOphant, but he was attracted to
men of high mentality as they were
drawn to him. His friends were Of
the best, such men as William Winter,
Colonel E. A. Buck General Horace

Raleigh, N. c., Aug 3O.-The gov
ernor grants pardon in three cases,
one to Carroll Harriss, who ten years
ago was sentenced to Is years in the
penitentiary for murder in the second
degree
The governor says that Harris
seems to be the dupe of an old crimi-
nal. The judge says he regrets the
length of his sentence and thinks it
was excessive. Pardon was recon-
mended by the judge, solicitor, and
ernor granted it conditional, on good
behavior, sobriety and industry. He
makes the same order in the case of
J. F. Barnes and James Williams, who
last year were convicted in Rowan of
highway robbery, and were sentenced
to five years to the public roads The
governor finds that the prosecuting
witness has turned out to be a bad
man, a fugitive from justice, accuesd
of murder, and that there are also
declarations by him saying he swore
falsely against Barnes and Williams,
and that they never robbed him.
Next Tuesday the designs for the
$4,000 silver service to be given by
