FOUND AT LAST.

Tncidenls arise in tn lives OF people
wbich Ga ice them to consider. 10 the
gra: la.tle for political supremacy just
fought between two Ir)minent parties
some men were convinced that the ticket
they voted was the best for their own
and the country's welfare. That tattle
is over; bat &c one swallow does not
make spring, just so is 1t with elections.
Rumor hss 1t that the temperance peo-
pie want to try conclusions in local
option contest. Whether this be true
or not, one thing is Ger ain-there are
four young and able sspirauts, either OF
whom is willing-sye, aoxious-to serve
this constituency 10 the l'gislature-
Msssrs. Robson Moncure, ]. Fred BIZ
rell, r W. Arnold, Of this city, and
James E. Clements, of the county. 1t
is hard to predict what will become OF
them 10 their scramble for political ia
vor. but If the people want TO know
"Whst B .came OF Parkerf" the Elks
Drama ic Club will tell them at the
Opera House tonight and tomorrow
night. A fne comedy, strong smsteur
company, and the commendable object
for which the comedy is presented should
appeal to everyone. Curtain will rise
at O'Clock sharp. The following are
those who will distinguish themselves
in their various roles:

WON A BABY"

There was an exciting contest last night
at the tazar In the Young Peoples
Building between two well-knoWn citl-
zens (both benedicts) who we're receiving
votes for a lsrge-sizs dollbaby. So far
the ttork and, consequently, Kriss Krin-
gle have failed to enter their households,
and the friends of the neglected gentle
men engaged in spirited contest 10 their
interests. The voting was lively and
when the ballot had been counted one Of
the contestants, well-known resident
of King street, was found to have led
his competitor by sixteen votes. The
dollbaby Wss accordingly handed over to
the winner.

ENGLAND DESIRES
 FRENCH ALLIANCE

Paris. May 26.-The speeches exchanged today between President Falleres and King Edward have attracted much at tention in the French papers and this, the Temps says this afternoon, it con- siders the time to be ripe for the sub stitution of an Anglo-French alliance in- stead of the present entente; provided that the British army be radically reor- ganized in order to render it capable Of energetic action on the continent. Other wise, the paper says the benefits of the alliance would be one-sided and in favor of England and consequently inadvisable.
 The Temps recognizes that the cor dial relations between France and Great Britain as manifested yesterday are like ly in the event of a crisis to breed iden- tity of interests, but 1t thinks it dan gerous to reply upon moral understand ings.
 .Forced to choose between Germany and Great Britain" the Temps declares, ..France chooses Great Britain. We can with dignity live on correct terms with Germany. but the past forbids us going further.
 "As for the future, Germany only wants what we cannot grant, namely the au- mission of German funds to the Faii' bourse. On the other hand the great op- lection to British alliance mas olsap- peared with the concilation of our ally Russia with Great Britain
 From the English standpoint this al- lance is desirable. England throuGhout her history always has felt the necessity of q continental alliance and continental friendship The French army would De of inestimable value to Great Britain Ill tho event of war. but would British friend shin be equally advantageous to us!
 "British naval victories would not otiNe a single cannon from our front>er. Il would be different if the British army was completely reorganized so as to rehuei II capable of a powerful land diversion; Ill other words if Great Britain became 10, France a second Russia.
