Second Murder at William
ston, N. c., in Less Than
q Week
Mans Wife is Under Sus-
decentralization Rushed to
the Scene of the Crime i'm Effort
to Run Down the Murderer.

Williamson, N c., Aug. I'll
The second murder within a week in
Wilmington occurred Sunday night
about 10 o'clock, when Osborne
Rogers, a highly respected colored
man of considerable property was
shot near the front gate of his resi-
dence.
During the past winter Osborne
was shot at several times, and his
store was burned during the early
spring. No one has as yet been sus-
pected, though tracks were found
and they were tracks of man who
had bagging wrapped around his
, feet, one piece of the bagging being
found in a field near the scene OF
the shooting.
Bloodhounds from Ahoskie have
, been ordered and it is hoped that the
| guilty party will be apprehendee
| during the day. 1t is understood
that the domestic relations of Rogers
have not been of the pleasantest dur
, ing the past, and it is a very strang'
fact that Rogers wife heard the sno
at her gate during the night, but dl'
not go out to investigate it, and th'
:, dead body of her husband lay nea
the gate until the early hours
this (Monday) morning, when 1t wa

Buggy Factory, Warehouses
and Dwellings Destroyed
by Flames
The Loss Will Reach $15O,OOO or
MOre-Fire Thought to Be of In
cendiary Origin-Near Spot Where
Rig Fire Occurred i'm 1905.

Kinston, Aug. 20.-This morning
about 4 O'Clock fire destroyed the
large buggy manufacturing plant OF
the Ellis Carriage Works, the farm
ers' warehouse for the sale of leaf
tobacco, large storage warehouse
and three residences before it could
be checked, entailing loss over
100000.
Across from the Ellis Carriage
Works was the Farmers Warehouse
operated for the sale of leaf tobacco.
This immense wooden building was
soon on fire and burned quickly. In
the rear of the carriage factory l..
Harvey C Sons Co. had wooden
warehouse full of farming imple-
ments. This building caught from
| the heat and was destroyed together
with it's content1. Across Gordon
street from the carriage factory
were three dwellings which were also
fired by the intense heat and de
stroyed.
Two of the dwellings We're owned
by Mrs. Dan Quinnerly and the 9th
er by Mrs L. II. Rountree, of Green
Vile. The occupants of the dwell
ings lost all of their household furni
ture with little. il any, insurance.
Many people believe the fire wa
OF incendiary origin, yet no one
, suspected.
On February 28, 1905, at nearl
the identical spot of the starting Q
the fire this morning, another fir
began which burned up $4,000
: worth of property.

has been done. Mr.. Taft intended a
that time not to approve any revision

been sustained. He had resolved, i
the question came up in the session
to repudiate the Arizona constitution
containing the provision for the re

of that provision and he vetoed tn

respect has also been sustained, an

Jews With "Chr;stfan'' Names.
louisville Courier-Journai.)

louisville CONFECTIONERY
Essentially stupid in all its nantes
tations anti-Selnitism has found an
ether disgusting expression in Russia.
This tine it is an edict Of the holy
synod prohibiting Jews i'll Russia from
bearing so-callcd christian names.
The object Of the order, Of course, is
to compel the Jews so TO Identify
themselves by distinct VelN Hebrew
names that they may the better be
recognized for purposes Of OF p~rosecu-
ton. LII many instances the Jews
have shown 4 disposition to cultivate
q Russ an national patriotism and the
holy SNnod's edict " II serve to check
q movement calculated to enlist the
aid OF Jewish genius in tbs develop
ment of Russian prosperity and cuf-
ture.
A peculiar feature OF the situation
is pointed out by Hebrew scholars
who show that many Christ an names
are indubitabiy OF Hebrew origin.
There is a fine irony in the fact that
the name Of the czar himself, Nicholas,
is q variant of Hebrew. N~ichonlachus.
John-in RUSSIAN, Ivan-is a form
Of the Hebrew J~oachanon. and Yer
Patrick is from the Hebrew Patricius,
according to Judge Mayer SulZberger,
of Philadelphia. Judge Sulzberger
further cites the Christian name
Marion as u deriyative of the Hebrew
Mar.nus. Alexander is Hebrew. An
thOny is from AntOnius. and the list
might be indefinitely extended
Despite the remarkable tenacity Of
the Jews in clirginS to many racial
characteristics there is al abundance
OF evidence that they do not relish a
position Of ~separateness. When per
mitted TO do so they throw them
selves WhoIe-heartedly into promoting
the Interests OF the countries thsy
have made their homes. In New
York especially is there a decided ten
dency to adopt not only American
ideals and customs. but American or
English names as Well. The Russian
Jews particularly dispense with an
which identify them as a people seDa-
rate and apart. The dispatches q few
days ago told Of Broker Robin. whose
sister is DIR. R~Obinovitch.
The brother found it more con
~venient 10 be Robin than Ro~binoSitch,
and hundreds OF other Jews. from
i~perfectlv proper motives. have Angli-
cized their names or taken entirely
new ones. From pride Of tradition
many hold to names unpronounceable
BY Am erican tongues. but as many
Others gladly east their old names
and themselves into the melting POI.

Value Of Sunday Rest.
tDenVer Rcpubiican.)


Prof. Jules Amar has submitted to
the academy Of medicine III Paris the
OF his study Of the man ma
chine, says the Dietetic and Hygiene
Gazette. He proceeded upon the pfin-
ciple that u man who eats literally
ought to rccuperate in weight every "a
hours.
II his Weight lessons he works to
excess; if his weight increases he fas
not expended the maximum effort.
Amar found that the human machine
gives q profit of % to 80 per cent on
the expenditure. but that the best ar
tificiai machine returns only Ii per
cent.
It would seem from these expert
that man Is indeed superior to
all mechanism. With the VERY slight
exception that he always wastes energy
during the first five minutes Of work
before regaining his equilibrium.
1t would seem that Mondays human
labor is the most inferior and fucs-
