More than one successful lecture star
had to thank Major Pond for his start
He had keen discrimination and not
infrequently sought out and dragged
upon the lecture platform an obscure
genius who never thought to see him
self before the footlights. Such a
genius was Bill Nye. When the major
found him he was acting as postmas-
ter and editing the Laramie Boom
erang over livery stable. ("Walk
down the alley, twist the gray mules
tail, take the elevator immediatelyv')
Pond persuaded him to try lecturing,
and as there proved to be both money
and useful publicity in it Nye was
grateful and used for years to remem-
Der the major with characteristic
notes, one of which had the following
exhaustive signature:
Yours with heart full OF gratitude and
a system full of drugs, paints, oil, turpen-
tine, glass, putty and everything usually
kept In a first class drug store.
BILL NYE.

Experience of a Camping Party In Yell
iowstone Park.

Experience of Camping Party In Yell
Iowstone Park.
In the Yellowstone park all wild ami
mails are allowed to roam as they will.
and it is against the law to shoot them.
Some of these animals have become
very tame and do not look on man as
an enemy. In fact, the bears seem to
think the hotels built there are for
their convenience, as they visit the
garbage cans nightly for their meals.
Even tiny chipmunks will stand and
scold people as they pass by on the
road, and such little thieves as they
are! They live in style on grain they
steal from the hotel stables.
One night party camped near one
OF the pretty ravines, and being tired
from a days tramp, they had early
gone into their tents to sleep-all ex-
cept the boy, who enjoyed slumbering
In sleeping bag with the stars for
a roof.
Early In the night they were aroused
by noise of falling pans In the kitch-
en- wagon. Those who were not afraid
rushed out and discovered big black
bear calmly eating his supper from
the provisions. Not being allowed to
shoot him, one grabbed whip. another
broom, and they fourished these
weapons about. Frightened and grunt-
ing, bruin clumsily scrambled away,
when suddenly there was a livelier
grunting from the bear, accompanied
by an unearthly yell. Mr.. Bruin In his
hurried flight had stepped on the un-
noticed outdoor sleeper, frightening
him so much that afterward he slept
under the tent roof.-Detroit Free
Press.

Pelham, Aug. 24.-While strolling
with some children along the public
road, which parallels the railroad,
yesterday at about s o'clock, near
the home of Mrs. J. A. Pierce, Miss
Mary Pierce and Miss Susie Will
liams, who is visiting her, were fired
upon by a man walking on the rail-
road, the ball passing through and
singeing the hair of Miss Williams
without further in jury to either.
Greatly frightened they ran to the
home Of Mrs. Pierce, giving the
alarm and furnishing a description
of the man doing the shooting, who
was described is dressed in blue
oreralls and light shirt.
Diligent search was at once made
to apprehend the party, but without
avail up to this writing. 1t is sup
posed to have been one of a party
of tramps who was taken up here
sometime ago by a special agent of
the Southern Railway and sent to
the county roads, having served out
his time and again passing this way,
it is believed he sought this method
of revenge. Only yesterday there
were five takn up her at the coal
chute, which is a favorite stopping
place with them, and tried and sent
to the county roads.

SIXTH DISTRICT MrDDLF
committee Decides That Neither
Clark or Goodwin Has Been Noms-
nated-A New Primary Ordered.

The Sixth District contest and
trouble had another inning before
the public yesterday. The Demo
cratic State Executive Committee
last night adopted the Special Com
mittee report which declared no one
nominated for Congress and ordered
a voting primary TO be held not later
than September 18th. State Chair
man Eller was authorized TO appoint
committee to work out the details
It will be remembered that the
trouble aroes over the disgraceful
convention which assembled at
Wrightsville last July. At this time
the lawful chairman, Geo. H. Bel
lamy, a Goodwin supporter, ruled
that the delegates from Cumberland
and New Hanover (anti-God VIM
were mot legally entitled TO a seat,
their election not being in accord
ance with the Democratic rules. The
convention ousted Bellamy, calling
Mayor Springer, of Wilmington, to
the chair, who brought down a force
of Wilmington police to quell the
rioting and sustain him. The God
win forces bolted and held a separate
convention. o. L. Clark, of Bladen,
was the choice of the first convention
and Goodwin Of the boiling conyen-
ton.
The result leaves the matter open
now to the voters again, and a sec
ond primary will be held not later
than September 18th.

CRIPPEN GOES TO LONDON.
Inspector Dew Leaves Quebec With
His Prisoners-An Omen of Bad
Luck.

Quebec, Que, Aug. 20.-Quebec
bade farewell tonight to Harry Har-
vey Crippen and Ethel Glare Leneve.
At o'clock they sailed for England
on board the White Star line Mag
netic, due at Liverpool at noon next
Saturday. By Saturday night they
probably will be lodged in a London
jail to await trial for the murder of
woman supposed to be Crippen's
wife, Belle Elmore.
An extraordinary accident occurred
as Crippen crossed the gangplank.
1t carried an omen that might we'll
depress man in the shadow of the
hangman's rope. Crippen came hur-
rying across the plank handcuffed,
his hat pulled low over his eyes, and
his chin buried in his collar, trying,
apparently to dodge the photogra-
piers.
In his haste he ran squarely into a
rope that held the gangway steady.
The rope caught him under the
chin and jerked him backward and
had not Dew, who was close behind,
caught him, Crippen would have fall
en- and possibly pitched between the
two vessels into the water. The next
instant Dew had stood him on his
feet and the pair disappeared inside
the Magnetic
Miss Leneve, who had left the Jail
with every evidence of willingness,
had to be supported as she crossed
the gangplank. AS she reached the
deck of the Magnetic she tainted and
had to be carried to her cabin. It
was half an hour before she revived.
Inspector Dew managed the de-
parture of the famous pair in a man
ner that furnished a fitting climax to
their sensational capture.
