their names from some city or
- country. and the four quarters Of
the globe are represented. Muslin is
named from Mosul. city on the banks
OF the Tigris. In Asia. Cambria comes
from Cambria, city In France. Gauze
IL from GAIA, In Syria. Damask is from
Damascus, In Syria. SILK and serge are
both from the Latin Sores. meaning the
Chinese. These fabrics came from that
portion Of Asia which is now Southern
China. Calico first came from Calicut, a
town In India, which was once celebrated
for Its cotton cloth. Alpaca comes from
the animal Of the same name In Peru.

Remarkable Story About a Beaufort
Man Who Went to Ohio to Marry
Three Weeks Ago and Has Been
Asleep Ever Since.


Asleep Ever Since.
The following particulars came
over the wires this week in a news
story sent out from Ohio, bearing the
date-line Of Toledo:
physicians and detectives are
mystified over the peculiar condition
in which J. F. Smithwick, a wealthy
cotton merchant of South Creek,
Beaufort Co., North Carolina, has
remained for two weeks at the State
Hotel. During his strange sleep,
which began three weeks ago, Smith
wick has not spoken over a dozen
words and at all times seems to be
unconscious.
ut was supposed when Smithwick
was found unconscious in his room
that he was the victim of gas. There
is no doubt in the minds of physicians
that Smithwick's condition was
brought on by something besides gas.
At no time has the victim come in
to actual consciousness. At times he
opens his eyes and watches the fig
ures in the room, but does not speak.
"Smithwick formed an acquaint-
ance with Toledo girl through an
advertisement published in a matri-
monial paper. After several weeks
of correspondence he came to Toledo
and met his f1ance. According to her
statement, they had planned an early
date for tn air m q rrio 0o
when he was found unconscious
in his room at the hotel the police
started an investigation, but the
whole affair appears as much a mys-|
terry to-day as it did the day he was
found unconscious.
"Smithwick is fed through a tube
and Is given principally liquids. Hell
has not been removed from the hotel.
as it is feared any movement might
prove fatal. The attending phy-l
sicians do not entertain much hope
for his recovery. And so Smithwick
remains sleeping. When he will
awake is as deep a mystery as what
caused his relapse into the uncon-l
sc1ous state. Up to the present heI
has slept over four hundred hours.
Several nurses have been in con-
slant attendance working under the
directions Of attending physicians,
who had charge of the victims case.
Many physicians, both local and for-l
eign, have been called in to see the
patient, but all go away with a shake
of the head-they are as puzzled as

BOLD RoBBERrEs At GoIDsBoRo


Goldsboro. Jan. so.-The boidest
robberies In the history Of Goldsboro
occurred last night when three men
were saEdbagged by several masked
men, who relieved them OF their
watches. money and everything else
OF any value.
Each OF the victims was held up
separately In different parts OF the
city. Mr.. Phil Howell, q prosperous
farmer Of this county. was the heav-
lest loser. his loss being $500, and
he was badly bruised about the head
and otherwise severely used by the
bandit Mr., Howell. states that he
was on his way home. and was pass
ing through the southern part Of the
city when several masked men sud-
denly appeared In his path and de-
manded that he throw up his hands,
and that before he could comply
with their request one OF the high
waymen struck him a blow behind
his head which rendered him uncon-
scious, and when he recovered found
that he had been robbed OF every
thing on his person Of any value.
The second hold-up was reported
from the northern part Of the city,
when a negro man was found In an
unconscious condition by a party
who happened to see him lying In the
gutter, and when he regained con-
sciousness he told about the same
story as Mr.. Howell, that he had been
sandbagged by a crowd of masked
men and robbed Of his valuables.
The third hold-up Is reported from
near the union station. It ia thought
by the police that the robberies were
committed by one band who are be-
yond a doubt professionals and the
boldest bunch of crooks that ever
operated in this city. The robberies
have caused a good deal of excite
ment and the entire police force are
now on the trail. but up to this hour
no progress has been made towards
landing the robbers.

BAND OF 'BLACK HANDS" SEN
FENCED.
Two Indicted Members Are Still I'm

Extort Money from Other Italians.


Extort Money from Other Italians.
Toledo, Ohio, Jan. 29-Following
conviction and sentence in Federal
Court this morning, ten members of
la Sicilian black-hand organization,
were fastened this afternoon to the
Federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan.
to serve sentences ranging from two
to sixteen years.
One other, Antonio Vicario, aged
90, youngest member of the band,
was taken to the reformatory at Ell
mira, n. Y. Three other defendants
were convicted, but were granted new
trials. Two indicted members of the
band are in hiding in Italy.
The defendants tried on the charge
of conspiracy to use the mails to ex-
tort money from Italians living in
Ohio, and Indiana, were members of
an organization known as the $50
ciety Of the Banana and Faithful
Friends the headquarters of which
were in Marion. Ohio.
This is the first conviction of an
organized band of black-hands. With
this result the Government officials
believe that they have effectually
broken up black-hand operations in
the Middle West, and taken a long
step toward putting a quietus to Ma
fla methods throughout the United
States. The defendants were hur-
ried away Immediately after sentence
to guard against any outbreak, Of
which some intimation had been
given.

$4,000 acres is part of the great
