AMNESTY GRANTED.
he End, Let Us Hope, of the GOebel
Feud.

Governor Wilson, of Kentucky, has
nally issued pardon to his prede-
,essor in office, former Governor Will
liam S. Taylor, who for nine years has
been under Indictment for alleged
participation in a conspiracy to mur-
.ler William Goebel, who was assassi-
mated in Frankfort in January, 1900.
Thus closes one of the most impor-
ant cases in the history of the coun-
try, and one around which the pas
lions and prejudices of Kentucky have
:'evolved with varying bitterness ever
since tLat winter day when the news
Vas first flashed throughout the coun-
try that the most powerful politician
II Kentucky had met his death.

Tor some time, after the gamest fight
for life, and the most terrible odeal

1t was in considering the applica-
ion for a pardon for Powers that the
present governor of Kentucky had oc-
asiCn to go through all teh volumi-
nous testimony in connection with
that famous case, and having review

comes to the conclusion that Taylor

SHAKESPEARE'S POISONS.
Not to Be Taken Seriously; the Bard
of Avon Was Poet, Not Chemist.
London Globe.

1t is one of the penalties of Shakes
peare's position as a great poet that
his words are taken seriously. A
learned doctor in foreign scientific
review has been holding an inquisi-
ton into the poisons mentioned by
him. He points out that the Juice
of cursed hebenon," which Claudius
is said to have poured into the ear of
Hamlet's father, is incapable of pierre
ing the tympanum of the ear, and,
therefore, could not have penetrated
the body and poisoned the blood as
the Ghost alleges. Again, the narcotic
which Friar Laurence administers to
Juliet was probably either datura
stramonium or mandragora root. The
first is used by the convicts in New
Caledonia when they wish to rob theil
companions, but it's effects do not las
forty-two hours, nor anything like
that time. A scientist who expert
mented on himself with mandragors
on waking, and this did not happen tt
Juliet. AS for the poison which wa
given to Romeo, it was probably AGO
mite, or one of those mixed poisons o
the Borgias which seem to have bee1
composed of vegetable alkaloids an
ptomaine, since it was so remarkabl
rapid in it's effects. But that is tn
fault of too serious people; they will
take everything seriously. Shakes
peare probably knew nothing at all G
poet and not a chemist, and nigh
therefore, be allowed the usual poeti
license.

SIMMONS FAyORs LUMBER DUTY
He Delivers q Prepared Speech i'm
Favor of Tariff on Lumber.

Washington, D. c., April 28.-Sena-
tor Simmons, of North Carolina, dur
ing the discussion of the tariff meas
ure in the Senate today, said lumber
and it's products represented the prin-
cipal industry of twelve states, affect
ing more than 1000 cities which were
largely dependent upon it. He op-
posed the proposed reduction in the
1uty on lumber, principally, he said
because labor constituted a larger ele-
ment in the cost of producing lum-
Der than in the cost of producing any
other manufactured product and, fur
ther, that lumber was a competitor
with some of the articles which added
to the cost of it's production "I sub
nit" he said, that there can be no
more cruel repression of an industry
than by law adding 80 per cent to
the cost of It's production and then
forcing it into competition on the one
hand with the foreign product which,

inquired.
Mr.. Simmons asserted that there
was no difficulty about that That
platform. he maintained, declared for
a tariff for revenue, and he did not
believe the Dingley rate on lumber
was more than a revenue rate.
why single out this industry for
discrimination and slaughter" he
said. Such action, he said could not
be justified except upon grounds and
seasons of extreme necessity and
overwhelming urgency. But he did
not believe that such reasons existed.
In this connection, Mr.. Simmons took
occasion to announce that he was not

THE ONLY DOG AND MONKEY
FIRE DEPARTMENT IN WORLD
Will Be Seen Here Next Tuesday With
Gentry BrOs.' Big Shows.

The only dog and monkey fire de-
partment in the world is coming to
Goldsboro Tuesday, May 4, when the
Gentry Brothers shows, with their
world of trained animals, will be in
this city. Monkeys are natural MINI
les, and it was through this trait that
the monkey fire department with the
Gentry shows was organized.
Around the winter quarters of the
shows there is fire department. At
any hour of the day or night trainers
are liable to be turned out of bed by
an alarm of fire. 1t matters not
whether the alarm is merely a test or
a real fire, the men have to go through
with their drill.
At one of these drills Archie, the
biggest monkey with the Gentry
shows, got out of his cage. 1t was at
time when no one had a chance to
catch him. The monkey, however,
needed no restraining hand. In the
practice drill he fell into line with
his trainers One of them saw him
tugging at a line of hose.
That one trick destined Archie to be
a fire fighter. He was taught the fire
drill. Other monkeys were also in
structed, and from that beginning the
fire department of simians has devel-
oped. The horses with this depart
ment are dogs. Every one of the ami
mails knows his business perfectly,
and the presentation of the fire in the
Hotel deMonk is a feature that brings
an unstinted outburst of applause
from the children that visit the show.
The Gentry Brothers shows will
give two performances in this city,
on Tuesday, May 4. In the morning
their street parade of CLINT and color
will traverse the main thoroughfares.
The prices for this date only are
reduced to 25 and 35 cents.

What Your eyebrows Tell.

People who have traits they want

every day Ways of reading char

Now appears clever German who
says the eyebrows are an unerring
indication of a persons temperament
and disposition. Lightly marked eye-
brows, lying high above the nose,
show a weak nature and an inclina-
ton to avoid work
Dark eyebrows indicate strength,
and patience as we'll, while light eye
brows are rarely seen in people whose
minds are keen and sharp, though
the color of the eyebrow doesn't mat
ter as much as the shape.
That highly arched eyebrows de-
note sensitive temperament has al
ways been known, but the general
belief that they are the sign of SUI
perior intelligence is not. says the
German character reader. a true one.
Thin eyebrows show lack of vital
ity, and bushy ones almost always go
with great virility. If you see wo-
man with heavy eyebrows meeting
above the nose, you may trust in her;
such eyebrows in woman, says the
German, spell sincerity New York
