Line, are arranging what will certain
ly be the most popular and delightful
tour of the season, especially is this

The trip is to be made at the low
est possible figure consistent with the
first class hotels and other things con-
nected with the tour, which will in
clude railroad fare, Pullman. hotel ac-
commodations, meals, sightseeing
trips, transfers and in fact every
thing with the exception of meals in
New York, and few other other mi
nor expenses, nearly all the sight-see-
ing trips included. This last feature
is very good one, as it will enable
the party to spend their time seeing
the sights without the bother of the
details, which will be looked after by
Mr.. Gattis and Mr.. Ker. both of whom
have had wide experience in this
branch of the passenger service.
Time will be spent in Toronto dur
ing the Canadian Exposition. and
stops will be made at all points of
sufficient length to enable the party
to see all the points of interest with
out hurrying. Mrs. Gattis and Mrs.
Ker will chaperone the tour, and la
dies should not hesitate to go alone.
The tour will prove q most interest
ing one. A very attractive illustrated
booklet containing detailed informa-
ton can be had upon application by
letter or in person to the undersigned,
and those interested should write at
once, as the party will positively be
limited, and those applying first will
get the lower berths, so it will be to
your advantage to book early. Every
detail has been arranged with the
view to making this most delightful
and comfortable tour for all.

When WOmen'S Sphere Begins to Roll.
Mary Heaton Voirse in Success.
The most important thing is how
much an organization of women, once
even in the face of such powerful op-
ponents as political influence and well
organized business interests. These
women were inexperienced, and pub
lie opinion was against them, as peo-
pie felt they were leaving "woman's
sphere" But they were in the right,
they were persistent, and they won.
In the early days Of this country,
when each home produced practically
all the things that were eaten by its
members, and a great part of those
which were worn, woman's place was
literally in the home. When the food
supply, the water supply, the supply
of milk, was a matter each Individual
must attend to on his own premises,
no one questioned that it was "wom-
ans place. to take an interest in the
condition of the well, or to look after
the milk pans All these things have
been taken out of the home; munich
pal water supply replaces the old
oaken bucket, and people no longer
eat, as beef, the cows they had known
detail concerning the cleanliness OF
the food supply is as much woman S
business as it ever was.
We are beginning to realize that it
doesn't do much good to clean out the
ice box with punctilious care, if the
milk that goes into it is dirty, and if
the meat comes from filthy butcher
shop. From the moment that the
town water goes into her house, it is
a woman's business to know its
source.

There is a field for the Daily News in

MIR. WRIGHT LEAVES FOR HONE
His Visit Here After 53 Years of Alb
sence One of Pathetic Interest.

=
After spending some two weeks
here, going over again the tranloiIig
grounds of his youth and young man
hood, NJ. George r. Wright, of Ala
bs.ma, left yesterday, accompanied Ly
his sister Mrs o:. Jones, fer au-
rinburg, N. c., to visit their only sur
viving sister, Mrs. J. D. Brooks, and
after spending some days there Mr..
Wright will go on to his home in Ala
bama. AS we stated in The Argus
some days ago, it has been fifty-three
years since Mr.. Wright, then a young
man twenty-five years of age, left
Goldsboro, and he has been absent all
these years. His return now was
like that of Rip Van Wrinkle, only
more so. The entire contour of the
city and vicinity has changed and but
few of the population remember him,
ol were even here, or living when he
went away. And vet the venerable
old man was often moved to tears at
meeting again some one whose hand
he had claspe1 in the years agone or
in recognizing some old homestead
whose hospitality he had shared in
the country around Goldsboro. And
in it all was manifest that strong
love of native land that years of alb
sence cannot obliterate nor age dim
it's lustre. Mr.. Wright, in bidding us
goodbye, said in words broken with
emotion, there is no State in all this
Union like my old mother State-God
bless North Carolina; God bless her
noble people. / wish I could shake
hands with all my kindred and
friends. Good-bye.'
