correspondence of The Robssonian
Mr.. Eli Philips, of Lumberton,
was with US in our Sunday school
Sunday. He made an address on
the orphan children of Thomas
vile. Mr.. Philips has recently
been to Thomasville and he was
able to speak to US all about the
condition Of the children.
| Mr.. ]. D. Davis left this
morning for Whiteville, where
he will spend a few days with
{ a few of his many friends down
in that section.
Mr.. Henry D. Mcneil, of Lum-
berton, attended service here
Sunday.
Well, the Christmas holidays
will soon be here, and our boys
and girls who are off in school
will be home in few more days.
We all will be so glad to see
them come home.
Mr.. D. J. Bullock of Newport
News, Va, who holds a position
on the navy yard at that place,
arrived yesterday morning to
spend q week or two with his
father, Mr.. Raleigh Bullock, and
other friends and relatives.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Townsend,
Miss Maud Brown and Miss Tas-

of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Town
send Sunday.
Many of our young people at
tended an entertainment which
was given at the home of Mr.. S.
B. Bullock, of the Moss Neck
Section, Friday evening. The
guests seemed to enjoy 1T very
much.
Wouldn't it be so grand if we
could only have one Christmas
Day without any drunkenness
and all the young men, and older
ones, too, would be temperate?
Young men, if you have been so
unwlse as to order the debauch-
ing stuff, will you, as refined
gentlemen, when it comes to the
express office just think what it
will do for you if you drink it.
Think of manhood, and strive
for something higher and nobler
than to indulge in the degrad-
ing stuff. And just let your Jug
go, and not pay the express. Let
it go. It will pay you better to
lose what you pay for the whis-
key, whatever it may be, than to
drink it. Young men, do let it
alone; you do not know what
trouble you will get into by in
dulging in such a thing, if you
90 not lay it aside. Let US say
that it is the bad nature in man
which is yet unsubdued and un-
responsive to the simple, gentle
teaching of the Master of Christ

BIRDS ANSWERED. PRAYER.
Remarkable Manifestation Over
The Grave of R;.hon C,,-.;a

Inc OraVe OF Bishop Curtis.
wilmington DEL Special. 18th, to Baltimore Sun.
Mother Alexandria, Mother Su-
perlor of Convent of the Vista
ton, in this city, confirmed TODAY a
recent remarkable spiritual man
hesitation over the grave of
Bishop Alfred A. Curtis, which
is within the enclosure of the
convent.
The Mother Superior, who is
French, talked through an in
terpreter. She said it was true
that a flock of sparrows flew to
two orphans girls who live at the
convent, following a PRAYER
made by the children over the
grave of the good Bishop, that
they might be allowed to pet the
birds. The girls are about 8 and
10 years old.
Mother Alexandria made
known a new feature of the case
When she said that when another
girl inmate of the convent de-
sired to fondle the birds that
lowered over the Bishops grave
one Of the children whose PRAYER
had been answered called the
sparrows to her. The birds
obeyed, and picking them up.

The Mother Superior regards
the occurrence as a miracle. She
was a warm friend of the late
bishop, and the prelate took such
an active interest in the convent
that he was buried within it's
walls at his own request.
The most interesting feature
OF the manifestation is the fact
that the two girls were known
personally to Bishop Curtis. The
bishop, as was we'll known, was
especially fond of children. The
Sisters at the convent wanted to
keep the manifestation a secret
o"L olio VI them wrote to a priest
IN Baltimore, and he informed
Cardinal Gibbons.
The Catholic clergy in this do
cese regarded Bishop Curtis as a
modern st. Francis. He always
had the power of attracting birds
ana ANIMALS to him, virtually at
Will. He was also believer in
miracles, his faith, as a priest
said to-day, being as strong as
a mountain.
Bishop Monaghan, of the Do
cese Of Wilmington, stated TODAY
that all he knew about the mani
festatlon was what he had heard.
Rev. Frederick J. Connolly, rec
tor Of St. AIMS Church, adioin-

BANK CLERK IN
A NOVEL GAME

LOS ANGELES, May 30.-Burto1
v. Moore, young clerk in the de-
funct West Side Bank, was arrest ID
this evening on complaint of Mark G..
Jones, president of the Merchants
Trust Company, and charged with the
embezzlement of a $4,000 list of suJ-
scriptions to the stock of the latter
institution. He gave $500 bail for
appearance June 9th.
Jones characterized the case the
nerviest attempt at hold-up he ever
heard of. He declares Moore was
employed by the Merchants Trust
Company as a bookkeeper in the
West Side Bank, now a branch, AMI
asked to get subscriptions to the
Merchants Trust stock; that Moore
got $4,000 worth, and then placed the
list in the hands of an attorney an l
refused to give it up unless he was
paid $1,000.
Moore's attorney declares the
trouble is due to failure to carry out
an agreement on the part of the
Merchants Trust people. He says
Moore got the subscriptions at par
and then found the stock was selling
at $50. AS he had made $500 for
the bank more than the stock would
bring in the market, he demanded
pay for the work. This being refused,
he declined to surrender the list.

PRESENTED Two
new COMEDIES
BOUTWELL, BROWNE COMPANY
PLAYS TO A GOOD-SIZED
AUDIENCE.

The Boutwell, Browne Company
presented two new comedies last
night to good house. AS usual, the
pretty girls carried off the honors Of
the evening. The Indian dance was
very taking thing, and the song
which accompanied it was sung in a
pleasing manner by the Grace sisters.
It was in the court room scene tha.
the company was shown to best ad-
vantage, as the opportunity for local
tent and many ears tingled among
the boys in the front row. Paul Stah-
hope Angelo as the Irish Judge was
a good cure for the blues. Miss Jes-
sic Millar rendered song about q
dainty engenue, and the irrepressible
Thaw came to the front with some
good Irish dittles. Milt Barron acted
the peddler in a manner which was
natural, but the Rainbow dance was
the real feature of the evening. The
boys from the Montana couldn't get
enough of it.
The show was the most elaborate
yet given, special scenery having
been constructed and the costumes
are artistic and appropriate. The
pieces abound in wit and humor ana
there is an abundance of bright and
catchy music.
The public is just beginning to
realize that the Boutwell, Browne
troupe lives up to all its promises
The manager, unlike others, does not
make elaborate pretensions TO have
what he knows he has not, comic
opera. but what the company gives Is
funny, amusing and enjoyable.
The beauty chorus is just what it's
name implies. Neat, more demure
and graceful little maidens have
never been seen on the stage here or
elsewhere. They are accompanied by
their mothers while with the troupe.
The management has been informed
that II the big baseball game comes
off today, the two clubs will at
tend in body. Special stunts and
many clever shots may be looked for
during the performance

in from that camp Friday In speak
ing of the new camp yesterday, Mr..
Carpenter said:
There are seven leasers working
there now and every one is taking
out good shipping ore. The depth OF
the ledge has not been determined,
as the deepest workings are only
down to depth of about 20 feet.
OF the seven parties who are leasing
four of them are from Tonopah. A
meeting was held there a short time
ago and the district was named the
hex mining district. A townsite is
planned and surveyors will start to
work at once.
They are sacking ore on the
property being worked by A. A. Bass
and shipment consisting of 1000
sacks of high grade is expected to be
shipped on the first of June At
present there is no road from the site
where the leasers are working, and It
is the intention of everyone in the
district to turn out and build a road.
Regular shipments, it is expected,
will be made when the road is COM
pleted and then you can look for
