A MONUMENT FOR ELIZA.
BETHTOWN:

BEIH OWN:
There is no Quainter old town
in North Carolina, if there be one
anywhere, than Elizabetht0Wn,
Bladen county. Up to about ten
or fifteen years ago, there was a
neck and neck race between it
and Hillsboro, to determine
which would not get there first,
with the odds favoring EtoWn,
as her citizens fondly call it.
Etown won, and has held the
pennant ever since, no one dar-
ing to question her primacY in
perfect repose.
But you must not suppose that
Elizabethtown, though for cen
tury it knew no expansion, ex-
cept in the hearts OF its people,
was without its charm. Life
there was Arcadian, and its peo-
pie, living rather as one large
family, were, as they are yet,
the most hospitable, unselfsh,
generous, and the tenderest,
truest that one would find in
many a days journey. The air
of dolce far niente languidly blew
everywhere. it's true, but drift
ing on its breezes was the del
icate fragrance OF that now some
what withered and wasted flow
er, sweet old Southern courtesy.
Soon the old town will be no
more; the prospector and the
speculator are already on the
ground; the shrill whistle Ct the
steam locomotive, with rattle
clatter-bang Of cars attached,
will disturb the hitherto unbsok.
Ell quiet Of her streets, for EliZ.
abethtown is to have a railroad.
And the ghosts of the British
slain al the battle of Elizabeth

fcient as to sex and gender hav,
tenanted the Tory Hole sine
July 1871, are preparing to NOV
out, as ghosts and the duple:
whistles Of steam locomotive
cannot abide together.
The railroad, however, cannt
destroy ElizabethJown's histori
setting, and it was this we ha
in mind when beginning this a
ticle.
The battle of Elizabethtowl
fought, as before stated, in Ju
1881, and in which body of 81

Policeman Grace personally saw to it
that Edwin was assigned to a choice
cell in the north tier of the police sta
ton house. The boy was sound asleep
about the time ne struck the cell couch
and he slept without moving until IL
o'clock. Before he got up Police Chief
Rawlings of New Britain got in touch
with members of the Gould family over
the long distance telephone. George
Campbell, secretary to Edwin Gould
ST., told the chief that he would come
up to New Britain and take Edwin, jr,
back to New York.
When the boy awakened he ate a po-
lice station breakfast in a way that a
hired man couldn't have beaten. Then
he came out to the desk and told the
interested cops some more about his
wanderings. He did not know at this
time, however, that his grandmother,
Mrs. George Shrady, and his father.
were streaking across Connecticut in
an automobile looking for the boy.

fine OF ONE CENT.
That Is What 1t Cost C. j. Longers to
Disturb Jesse Woodring.

A fine of one cent was imposed by
Judge Simon today against c. ]. Long
ers, charged with disturbing the peace
of Jesse Woodring. Both men are
farmers of Topeka vicinity and the
whole trouble came from the ravages
of a flock of chickens belonging TO
Longers.
The evidence introduced showed that
Woodring went to the LongerS place 20
protest against the visitations of the
hens and finding Longers not at home
delivered his objections to the house
wife. Longers, returning home, was
advised of the visit of Woodring and,
accompanied by his wife. went to the
home of Woodring with a counter
harangue so forceful that the subject
felt his peace disturbed. Both parties
were censured by Judge Simon, who
taxed the costs of the case with the
one cent fine to the defendant.

IN HIS OWN DEFENSE.
Bendernagle Goes on the Stand and
Denies Everything.

New York, May 31.-With three de-
PENDANTS eliminated but with the inter-
est in the proceedings heightened rath-
er than diminished by their withdrawal.
the resumption today of the sugar con-
Spiracy trial in the United States cir
cult court was accompanied by rumors
that the governments long search for
men still higher up in the alleged
conspiracy might shortly be rewarded.
The rumor arose chiefly out of develop
ments said to have followed the arrest
of James o. Brzezensh. the former
special treasury agent, on a charge of
perjury in connection with the sugar
ca SeS.
AS the result of pleas of guilty last
Friday by the three government check
ers, on trial, there remained the big
man in the case, Charles r. Heike sec
rotary of the American Sugar Refining
company. and two of his former sub
crdinates, Ernest w. Gerbracht, super
burg refinery and James +. Benderna-
gel, the refinery cashier. Motions of
their counsel to dismiss the indictments
were denied by Judge Martin.
When the government had rested,
Harry F. Cochrane, attorney for Ben
dernagel, opened the case for the de-
Tense, telling the jury it would be shown
Bendernagel never had anything to do
with sugar weights, false or true. Mr..
Ccchrane said nothing had been adj
duced TO show conspiracy between
BendernGgel and the other defendants.
Bendernagel was put on the stand
as the first witness for the defense. He
said he had been employed by the SUI
gar company for 40 years and as CASH
Ter had received $4,000 year, He han
died about 100000 a year
Bendernagel said he had never been
in the company's scale houses and did
not go on the raw sugar docks more
than twice a year. Oliver Splitter. the
dock superintendent, had entire control
of the dock, Bendernagel said. He
never looked at the mems time sheets
and all he had to do with the pay
rolls was to requisition the Wall
streets office for money to meet them.
AS to sugar weights, he never bothered
with them and he had never seen one
of the little pink books that have
figured in the trial in the comparisons
between government and refinery
weights. Nor had he ever seen a gov
ernmenS weighers' book.

AT the Grand.

Margaret Anglin, Americas second
greatest emotional actress, pleased
good sized audience at the Grand Mon
day night, with her latest success THE
awakening of Helena Ritchie.' This
play is one of the most uncommon On
the stage today. 1t is strong in every
character, and teaches many lessons.
1t presents ordinary life in a most uI:-
usual way. Helena Richie is wo-
man of the world, who lives at Old
Chester. on the bounty of her lover
PRYOR. She seeks secluSion but society
demands her company. The people of
the town force their attentions upon
her Pryor is known as her brother,
until a physician with gossip for
wife discovers her secret. In the mean
time she has been favored with the
care of little boy, by minister. The
physician declares he will unmask her,
if she does not give up the child. Pryor
now tells her that he wants to marry
another woman. The child is taken
away, and she is left alone. She would
marry Pryor but he talks her out OF.
the idea by asking the question Can
the mumbiing of a few words by
preacher bring us closer together Her
answer is No
The play does great work in hold
ing up the narrow views of society, TO
public gaze. 1t shows how woman
once fallen is kept down forever. So
ciety listens to the words about the
quote but it extends no helping hand to
the woman. The piece shows very
plainly how little good sermons do, rs
they go in one ear and out the other.
But the greatest lesson the play
teaches is this: That the force called
love makes marriages and not mar
riages love. That the idea of having
a preacher recite a few words, which
are supposed to unite couple is SIM
ply a custom of society and that love
is the welding force, and not the mar
riage ceremony
Miss Anglin is at her very best in
this play. Her work was fiawless. the
lines of the play are not very pointed
or strong but she drives home their
hidden meaning with terrible force 1t
is her work that makes the piece sue
cess. Miss AngHn's company is
strong one and accords her excellent
support

Cruise This Year Will Be To Geor-

Features To Be Provided.

The Board of Commences annual
cruise this year will be to Georgian
bay. This has been definitely decided
on after considering number OF
plans. The ID. & c. steamer City OF
Cleveland has been chartered for the
trip and will leave Detroit Friday aft
ernoon. June 10. and return late on
the night OF June IL.
The first stop will be a sheltered
harbor at the upper end OF Parry

part of the bay where the 10000 ISL
ands are located. The Cleveland
draws too much water and is too wide
TO prowl among the numberless isles
and through the tortuous channels, 80
a transfer OF passengers will be made
10 'he steamer Waubic, OF the North
ern Navigation Co. AT the end of the
days run through the sound, the
Cleveland will pick her passengers
and start home.
A Board of Commerce cruise would
not be complete without the entertain
ment features that have characterized
previous outings. Just what the com
mittee has outlined Is not being dis
closed, but II Is enough to say that
the program will probably include a
minstrel performance filed with local
color. the Orpheus club and an or

there will be new stars in addition to
the old favorites.
