The reports Of Chief Of Police Corbitt
and Captain Carroll, submitted to the
Board OF Police Commissioners yester-
day afternoon, showed that with an in
creased and efficient force the amount
of crime and %6lsorderly acts were
minimized, and n some instances prac-
tically eliminated. The main item in
both reports was the Plea for larger
quarters and more men, so that the de-
partment could keep pace with the
growing population. The chief showed
that there were 726 vacant houses 1
the city during the year where people
were away on visits, and of this number
only eight were entered, and in only
five cases was anything stolen.
The method of conveying prisoners to
and from stations was also under con-
~sideration, and a new electric wagon
was asked for so that distant points In
the precincts would not be compelled to
! wait SO long in having the heavy wagon
drawn by a single horse get to the point
of destination. At present there are
some places in the various precincts
which are reached with difficulty.
The commissioners passed a resolu-
tion asking the building department to
equip the temporary station house at
sos Bergen street.
The disbursements for the year were
$742, 025. so, of which $685., 562. 10 was for
salaries. The balance on hand at the
end of the fiscal year was $15.7 5 The
money expended for incidentals was
49, "a. The number of arrests were
1901. The report showed that among
the foreign element the Italian gave
the greatest trouble. there being S24
arrests of that nationality.
DIR. Herman c. H. Herold, collector
for the internal revenue department,
asked the commission that special
credit be given TO Patrolman Frank
Brex, of the Third Precinct. for his
voluntary assistance in running down
a distillery and uneartfing valuable
information for his department. De-
teetives F'ohs and Templeton were
placed on the merit list, as were Tuite
and Horter.

MONEY BACK HAIR BEAUTlFYER.

You never saw a beautiful woman
who didn't have beautiful hair. The
charm of a woman lies in her hair.
Many women do not realize the attrac-
tons they possess because they do not
give proper attention to the care of the
hair.
The women of Paris are famed for
their beauty, not because their facial
features are superior to those OF other
women, but because they know how to
keep young by supplying vigor, lustre
and strength to the hair.
Thousands of sensible American wom-
en- have greatly increased their attrac-
lions since the introduction of Partisan
Sage. the quick acting hair i%nvigorator,
and thousands more will do the same
as soon as they learn OF its wonder
full merits.
Up to two years ago Partisan Sage
could hardly be obtained in America.
But now this delightfulBhair tonic and
dressing can be had in every own in,
America. Menk sells it in Newark for
so cents a large bottle, and he guaran-
tees 1t to grow beautiful. luxuriant'
hair; to turn dull. ~lifeless hair into
lustrous hair; to stop falling hair and
itching of the scalp. 1t is a daintily
perfumed tonic and is not sticky or
greasy. Understand, Menk will give
you your money back If II fails 10 cure.

AN OLD PORTRAIT OF CLAY.
Valuable and Interesting Find by a
Henderson Man.

Can't. o. R. Smith, of Henderson.
recently made find" of an old
picture which he prizes very highly
for several reasons. 1t is an oil
portrait of Henry Clay, painted in
lS45, by A. Gilbert and represents
the great statesman and orator wear
ing the homemade silk vest which
was presented to him when he visi-
ted Raleigh and spoke in advocacy
OF home protection" for infant in
dustries, as the tariff was then call
ed. This silk was raised from the
cocoon to the cloth here in Granvil e
county, N. c., principally by the
women. some of whom are still liv-
ing. Isabella and Eliza Harris, dau
ghterS Of Ivey Harris, were among
those whose names are recalled as
having part in the affair. That
was in the days of the multocrous
mania and everybody was anxious
to contribute something to so great
and grand cause that would en-
rich them all in so short time. So
great was this get-rich-quick scheme
in raising silk, that mulberry sprouts
sold for 81 90 bud to raise leaves
to feed silk worms, Capt. Smith
informs us.
The silk out of which this vest was
made would bring one hundred do,-
lar a yard today, and a woman's S
dress made out Of it would stand
alone, so stiff and thick was the ma
terial. Henderson Gold Leai.

Cams Dry Humor.

When the gallant Welch captain,
David Gam, was sent forward by
Henry V. to reconnoiter the French
army before the battle of Agincourt
he found that the enemy outnumber-
ed the English by about five to one.
His report to the king is historic;
"There are enough to be killed,
enough to be taken prisoners and
enough to run away
This quaint forecast of the result
of the battle at once spread through
the camp, and doubtless every yeo-
man archer of the valiant company
felt an inch taller. We know that it
was almost literally justified by the
event. Poor Cams dry humor was
equaled by his courage. He was
killed while in the act of saving the
life of his prince.-London Star.

Let the Town CleFkShip Alone.

No greater opportunity is offered
to the young man who is willing to
work than is offered in Southern
agriculture TO the man who will
learn how to do ordinary farm task
as they should be done.
The boy who trains himself along
these lines has the feather in his
hands; and the farm BOYS of the
South should be turning by the
thousand to the agricultural high
schools, the winter short courses in
the agriculture colleges. the corn
contests-to everything, in fact,
which will help to make them really
proficient in either the science or the
practice of agriculture. The farm
boy who will train himself can get
good wages or a good salary in
working for other men, and can
thereby accumulate enough to buy
land himself and so become a still
more definite factor in the agricul-
ture progress of his section.
Let the town clerkship alone,
farmer boy; there are much bigger
opportunities money and vast
ly more independence and satisfac-
tion-on the arm.-Raleigh On. c.

Eating in 0lden Days.

Even at so late a period as the
Restoration, 1860, it was the custom
for the guests to take their own
knives and forks to an English BAN
quet. Pepys records that he did
this when he went to the Lord
Mayors feasts in the Guildhall. In
the previous reign the lord chamber
lain had found it necessary to issue
regulations for the benefit Of the
officers invited to dine at the royal
table. They were required to wear
clean boots, not to be half drunk on
their arrival, not to drink more
than one goblet to every two dishes,
not to throw the bones under the
table, or lick their fingers.
The Staurts undoubtedly did much
to refine English table manners, for
it was one Of the points admired in
Mary Queen of Scots that the Gus
toms she introduced from France
made her court and royal banquets
more exquisite and genteel than
those of her rival, Queen Elizabeth.
As forks came into use, the old
time Importance of the table napkin
began to wane. From being a nee
essity it became a luxury, on the
fastidious use Of which etiquette
has at various times placed strange
values. s.-London Chronicle.
