An Arid Bottle Needed.
A surgeon has called attention to the
fact that a more convenient form of
acid bottle is needed. The ordinary
bottle allows drops to run down the
outside and eat off the labels and bum
the shelves and perhaps the hands of
the user. A form of bottle is some-
times used for essences and oils which
might be adopted with advantage. In
the place of the ordinary
there is a tube with a lip. On the side
opposite the Up there is a groove lead-
back into the The liquid is
then poured out by means of this tube,
bat any drops than run down the out-
side ran back into the bottle. The
whole is then covered by a cap.
This principle is employed in the
nary bottle and in some claret
jugs.
A stopper has been brought out In
England which meets some of the ob-
the ordinary form, it is
really a glass lid with a pin of glass
passing into the neck of the bottle to
keep it from falling off. The external
appearance of the new stoppered bot-
is thus nearly the same as usual,
but the stopper is replaced by a much
smaller body with straight sides. This
form is said to be quite air tight, and
at the same time to avoid sticking.

When the struggle was between only

WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER
THE ELECTIONS.
Elections were held on Tuesday,
Not. in twelve States. Goner-
ally, not much except local inter-
est in these years in which
there is no Presidential election.
This year however, been an
exception to this rule. Great is-
sues are agitating the people and
there has been much concern in
reference Jo the verdict of the
country upon these. In several
of the States as interest was
felt as if it had been Notably
among these were new York, Mas
Iowa and Ohio- The
battle has been fought, the results
are sufficiently in to determine the
result. In Ohio the author of the
tariff bill under which
the people are now groaning was
one of the candidates for the of-
of Governor. His opponent
was a tariff reformer and it was
natural that the friends of each
measure should feel unusual
anxiety as to the result. The
election of would be an
endorsement of high and
tariff protection, the
of Campbell would be such a
blow as to almost disintegrate the
Republican party. Under the cir-
it was to expected
that the present administration
should spare neither time nor
money to elect The
Democrats were in the fight with
a gallant and brilliant leader but
without means. There were
among them which were
never harmonized and no well in-
formed politician expected a
result from which we now
see. No man ever made a more
brilliant canvass than Governor
Campbell, and if ever man
ed success ho did, but the odds
were against him and he beat-
en by majority. The bet-
informed will not take this as
an endorsement either of the
lion dollar congress or the
tariff bill. It was carry
Ohio for the Republicans or not
enter the race at all in 1892.
In Iowa Governor Demo-
was elected by a good
over all opposing
dates. This puts Iowa the
column for the
election. Governor
made a splendid canvass,
in every county in the State and
making from two to five speeches
a day. This shows lots of hard
work, when we remember that his
State is not intersected with rail-
roads even as ours is. If a est-
man is to be in the race next
President, Iowa's Govern-
or will not fail to be one of the
prominent possibilities.
Governor Russell was re-elected
in Massachusetts by a good ma-
He is without doubt a
young man of splendid attain-
and a long way ahead of
his years in political finesse. The
campaign in this State may
be said to have been a campaign
of young men. The very best
talent in the State among this
class of citizens was enlisted in
his behalf and gives hope of soon
putting even this old common-
wealth out of the list of the doubt
States.
There has always been a
liar political significance attached
to an election in New York State.
It has almost come to be proverb-
goes New York so goes the
United In fact of all the
wonders that we know New YorK
politics are the most wonderful.
It cast its vote for Cleve
land for President when he was
its Governor, it then elected a
Democratic Governor and at the
same time cast its vote
for a Republican, and so went the
When it looks like it is
Democratic it is Republican and
vice versa. The Presidential
being just one year off made
it exceedingly important for each
party that it should have the as-
in this election,
was this true in reference to
the Democratic party since this
State has the two most prominent
men in the United States for the
next Presidency. The battle was
well fought on both sides as was
shown by the Tact that a few
nights before the election there
were over meetings held
which were addressed
by more than of the most
prominent Democrats in the
States. The fight seemed to be
pretty nearly equal in the Win-
of the campaign, but as soon
as ex-President Cleveland and
David B. Hill took a the
tables turned in favor of Flower,
Democrat, and ho was elected by
majority. Cleveland,
by this result, is put in the front
rank as the Democratic candidate
for the next President.
There were large Democratic
gains in the country districts that
swelled the majority beyond the
expectations of the most sanguine.
The thing most to be rejoiced at is
the fact that the Democrats have
a majority in the Legislature
which will give them an
to undo much of the rascally
work done by the Republicans m
re districting the State.
Virginia, Maryland, and New
Jersey are all Democratic. The
most elections were in
five York, Ohio,
Massachusetts, Maryland and
Iowa, and the Democrats carried
all of them except one. The Re-
publicans eight out of
the twelve States in which
were held November 3rd at
the last Presidential election in
1888, and now they have carried
only five of them. With these
facts it looks as if we may reason-
ably expect to see the next
dent of the United States an
flinching Democrat. If these
elections mean anything they
mean just this. But work is
necessary from now on and the
Democrats must not fail to re-
member this. The Republicans
will have all the money bags, and
offices to draw from. They will
buy where they cannot
and to counteract this the Demo
will have only just principles
and policies backed up with
organization and hard work.
It seems or
Third party has received a blow M
the recent elections, or which its
not t will recover in time to
be in the race in The people
ought to folly realize that they can-
not hope the reforms they de-

expect that may in time realize

death. Efforts were made to get the

A lot of stuff was also
destroyed. A colored woman living

most of her clothing; those living in
other two houses got all their

but as some of them bad been paying
their respects to neighboring towns
it was thought not that a
few stragglers might strike here next.
When it was learned that three
houses in Kinston were visited in a
single night, and two nights later five
houses in Tarboro were entered be-
hind one sun, Greenville at once put
in shape to receive such
tors if they should decide to try a

Buy a Secondhand Boat
When a boy has learned to soil a
boat, and has discovered how very de-
sailing is, he is sure to wish for a
yacht of his own; nor is he likely to be
content until the desire for ownership
shall have been satisfied by actual
session. The chief obstacle with which
he has to contend, of course, is the
cost, for yachts are expensive toys, and
not every one can afford to purchase
them. But a careful and patient per-
son may, nevertheless, possess himself
of a small yacht if he will buy with
discretion and at the right season of
the year, which is the autumn.
Yachtsmen are droll fellows; they
build costly boats, use them a year or
two and then sell them for any price
they can secure, often less than a
of their original cost. Therefore, I
say that the ownership of a nice little
yacht is not beyond the possibilities if
a boy loves a boat and is determined to
own one, for pluck, luck and patience

A Professor That Taught the Art and
Yet Could Not Swim Himself.
In my boyhood days water never had
any love for me. Whenever I used to
go with my playmates to take a bath
in the creek near the town where I was
born, it would do all in its power to en-
me and draw down to the
bottom. I shunned it
But a distressing incident changed
my determination never to go near
water again. I was crossing the old
wooden bridge that spanned the creek
near our house, when a woman and
her child fell into the creek. Both were
being rapidly swept away by the strong
current and I jumped into the creek. I
reached the side of the woman, how I
do not know today, and tried to pull
them toward the shore, but the
of the water was again aroused
and I felt myself sinking. Passers by
rescued us and I was the guy of the
whole town. Even today some of my
friends remind me of that occasion.
Then I swore that I would learn to
swim. Not far from where I lived was
a school for swimming conducted by a
corpulent, good natured gentleman,
known as the It was to
him I went
He made some sarcastic remarks
about the inability of a young man of
my age to swim. The first lesson came.
A rope was tied around my waist and
the professor held the end of it Tho
first thing I knew I was floundering at
the bottom of the tank, gasping for
breath. That good natured professor
had thrown me into the water. I tried
to cry out to him to pull me out, but
my mouth filled with water. Present-
I felt myself drawn to the surface,
and the professor politely asked me
how I enjoyed it. I calmed my wrath

of my life. said lie. do

A little more of that and the first
son was over. So it went on for ten
lessons, the professor never missing the
chance to pitch me into the tank when
I wasn't looking. I made rapid
and was soon able to swim with-
out assistance, although the
professor still persisted in having the
rope around my waist
It was near last lesson. The
professor and I were alone in the
school. He was busily engaged in
beating time with his
two, I was doing the
strokes. Suddenly there was a heavy
splash beside me that sent the water
high in the air. The professor had
fallen Into the water. I had never yet
caught him in the water and I felt
that it was my chance now to get even
with him for always ducking me so
ceremoniously. His big, fat head pres-
appeared on the surface, and I
was rather surprised at the peculiar
strokes he was so

A Genius Who Found In Keep-

Probably the severest ordeal that
genius can undergo is to be deprived of
the exercise of its powers. M. de

this in his acquaintance with one of the
greatest pianists of the present century.
He relates the strange story in
Souvenirs
Though not a player himself, M. de
had a fine piano. One day
the proprietor of the village hotel called
to say that the evening before a gentle-
man, apparently a Hungarian or an
Austrian, had arrived at his house, a
person about M. age,
of appearance and wearing an ex
of touching melancholy.
In the morning, it seemed, the
stranger would take no breakfast, but
besought M. the hotel keeper,
for a piano, saying that circumstances
had prevented his touching one for a
year.
A little later the stranger was seated
at M. piano, and it was
soon manifest that ho was not only a
wonderful artist but an inventor

power and volume of the instrument

midnight he seemed to put his whole

which ended with a finale of wonderful
tragic beauty just as the village clock
