UNIQUE SOCIAL EVENT.
An Occasion at EdentOn Relating to
The Early History OF North
Carolina.

Edenton, n. c., May 27-An event
of unusual interest in Edenton social
life was the tea given by Miss Mar
garet Bond on May 21st, to commem-
crate the one hundred and flftieth
anniversary of the building of her
house and it's continuous occupation
by her family for almost as many
years. This residence, commonly
known as the "Cupola House," stands
on Main street. A S you enter the old
fas hioned garden, shut in from the
gaze of the curious by high board
fence, you feel that you have left the
twentieth century world behind you
and stepped back into another age.
This illusion is not dispelied as you
enter the rose embowered porch and
are ushered through the wide hall into
| the presence of the charming old host
ess, now in her eighty eight year, who,
sitting erect ia her chair, her face
| framed by white curls and white rose
/ in her hand, makes fitting subject
for the painters brush. She receive
her guests with the stately courtesy of
olden times, and displays with pride
the many relics of the past, which
she has preserved with reverend care.
The room is full OF handsome old fur
niture and portraits, but the most
priced object is the portrait OF Mrs.
Penelope Barker, the great aunt OF
the hostess, who made herself and
Edenton famous by presiding over the
Edenton Tea Party.
Assisting Miss Bond in gracious hos
pitality to their guests are her cousin,
Mrs. Skinner and her niece, Miss Til
lie Bond, the latter attired insa direc-
| toire gown of rich brecade, which was
worn by her great grandmother more
than a hundred years ago, and is still
in IN almost perfect state of preserva-
ton. In the dining groom, across the
hall, the lovers of the antique can again
feast their eyes. The room is in itself
a curio, with its high wainscoted walls,
old ashioned mirrors, massive mahog-
any sideboard and grandfa theirs clock
the latter purchased 13O years ago by
Parse on Petuigrew, while on trip to
EUIOpOs ISI LIZ CHO x dHo-
father Of the present owner.
The only modern things about this
room are the sprays of crimson ram bier
trailing over mirrors and banked every
where, and the coterie of lovely girls
who dispense cahe e and sand witches and
serve tea from the exquisite old china
tea service brought from England in
IVY. Among the delicacies served are
| tea cakes made by the hostess herself
from a recipe, which made her grand
mothers tea drinkings famous cen
tu1y ago.

Northern Pacific Stockholders Get
Great Returns From Subsi-
diary Concern.
DEALS IN WESTERN LAND
Since 1897 Northwestern Improvement
Company Has Earned 529 Per
Cent on Its Stock.

New York, Nov. 6.-Stockholders of
the Northern Pacific received the an
nouncement yesterday of the declara-
ton of dividend of $1120 share to
be paid to them by the Northwestern
Improvement company, subsidiary
company, through which the Northern
Pacific has carried on operations in
coal mines. irrigation works and in
vestments in lands.
The distribution calls for the pay
ment of ST, $4,000 by a corporation
with capital stock of only $2,775.000.
This is equivalent to dividend of
500 per cent on the Improvement COM
pany's. stock The dividend is pay
able only on Northern Pacific full paid
old stock.
Only Few Knew of Big Profits.
Until yesterdays announcement the
profits and extent of operations of the
Northwestern Improvement company
were unknown to all but few of the
10000 stockholders of the Northern
Pacific railway.
In explanation of the accumulation
| of this large surplus by company
which is a creature of the Northern
| Pacific, though legally a separate cor
poration, it was said by director o.
| the railway that the improvement
| company, which was incorporated III
1897 soon after the reorganization of
| the Northern Pacific, has carried on
land and other operations on a large
scale and profited by the enormous
increase OF values in the northwest
during the last 10 years.

other land investments. A number of
years ago it took over the lands of
the st. Paul and Duluth railroad and

Northern Pacific itself large tracts of
the roads land grant lands,

sents the full amount, the director
said, of the surplus of the improve

While the operation seemed very sue
cessful and the wounds healed nicely,
Mr. Hough gradually failed both physi-
cally and mentally and he finally he
came such a care in the home that
the physician advised his removal to
the hospital. which was done week
ago last Wednesday. He repeatedly
asked to be allowed to go nome. but
his requests were not granted. Yes
terday afternoon while his wife was
visiting him he asked her to see that
he get permission to go home and
take supper with the family.
Escapes From Hospital.
While she was calling the doctor
to get his permission, Mr.. Hough
slipped away from the nurses and dis
appeared. The police were notified at
once as Mr.. Hough had repeatedly ex-
pressed desire to make away with
himself and his family feared that he
would seize this opportunity. About
il O'Clock last night another call came
into the police station asking that an
officer be sent up to the home as it
was suspected that the respondent in
sane man was in the barn in the rear
of the house and that he might injure
anyone who attempted to take him
back to the hospital. Chief l.. V. Eek
hart and Officer Tom Cox drove to
the residence at once and forced an
entrance 10 the barn which was locked
from the inside.
Police Found BODY.
The body of Mr.. Hough was found
by the officers hanging in one corner
of the barn and from appearances he
must have been dead at least three
hours as he was cold and rigid. He
had tied the rope around cleat which
was nailed TO the timbers OF the barn
and then stepped off box drawn up

did not become tight around his neck

no more anticipation warrants bearing

The clerk was fortified by a legal
opinion declaring mo fund.- warrants
Illegal and the city council. himself
and bondsmen liable for issuing them
on exhausted appropriations.
The clerk said the excess of mo

appropriation by $1,000 and that the

warrants is 5 per cent.
The council, however, ordered the
clerk to issue warrants for current
bills and the mayor said the city could
pay per cent if it wanted to.

had accomplished his purpose by using
his hands to make the tension of the
rope great enough to cut off the air

was conducted this morning by Cor
oner L. " Eckhart. The jury after
listening to the testimony of the fam
lily and DR.. E. NJ. Sala and Chief Eek

came TO his death by hanging himself
while temporarily insane.
Mr.. Hough was born in Illion N. Y.
and was 55 years old. He had been
a resident of this city for many years.
His wife, a daughter, Miss Faye
Hough, and sons, Merle and Leon. and
a brother, Wilmot. and a sister, Mrs
Arthur Conner, both of Bedding Mich,
survive him.
Note Shows Insanity.
Mr.. Hough left a note to his brother
and sister which clearly showed that
he was insane. In the note he asked
that his body be taken back to Belding
to be laid to rest beside the remains
of his mother. The note contains
many statements which show clearly
that Mr.. Hough's mind was completely
unbalanced. He represents himself as
mlsused and cast off by his family.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and hiatt is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
the tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

catarrh) that cannot be cured by
