OUR NEIGHBORTS LOSS.
The news which came from our sis-
ter city, Greenville, yesterday, of its
destructive fire, was received in New
Berne with many manifestations of re-
gret, and with the sincere hope that the
very worst, and that later reports might
make the losses less.
Greenville, like too many cities and
towns of this State, seems to have had
no adequaute water supply, in fast, the
people seem to have, depended upon
wells in case of fire, a source of supply
not only always an uncertain one, but
one which at times the water is wanted
the most for fires, in dry weather, are
usually nearly, if not altogether dry.
While the good citizens of Greenville
feel their loss most severely, they wiil
soon rally aud rebuild their burnt dis.
trict, putting up better structures than
those which were destroyed, and at the
same time they will unaoubtedly learn
the necessity of securing a certain and
abundant water supply in the future
for their city, which will be provided,
to prevent the recurrence of such dis-
astrous fires as that of last Sunday
morning.
It was with its usual enterprise that
the Reriector of Greenville issued
early Monday morning an extra edition
giving full particulars of the fire, It
was a clever piece of journalistic work.
The Journal was indebted to the Re-
FLECTCR for the account published in
these columns yesterday of the fire.
The Journal will be glad to note, as
it expects to do, the return of confidence
and hope in the hearts of the people of
Greenville which will inspire them to
rebuild their city, and make it even bet-
ter than it was betore the disastrous fire
of last Sunday, and in this expectation
the people of this section and the entire
State, will watch for the phenixlike de-
velopment of the Greater Greenville
of the future "Newbern Journal.
These are kind words, indeed, and
will be truly appreciated by our people.
The RerLector hopes at no far dis-
tapt aay to be able to inform its kind
neighbor that Greenville is herself
again and that the town has been re-
built better than ever. Greenville has
suffered severely but canTt stay down.
In this connection it is in place to
say that the Salisbury Herald of Mon-
day also had a well written, sympathet-
ic article about our fire, which the Ris
FLECTOR intended to publish, but sume
one relieved us of the paper before we
had done with it. Greenville being
the birth-place and old home vot the |
Herald man, we know that the sympa-
thy he expressed was the osentiment of
an aching heart.
Kinstun Firemen Would Have Gone.
The Free Press has heard our fire-
men express regret that they were not
notified of the fire and say they would
With the Kinston tire engine and the
2,000 feet of hose they could doubtless

The Free Press adds the above to its
account of the fire here Sunday morn-
ing. ~There was some talk at the time
of sending to our neighbor for assist-
ance, but thinking the telegraph office
there would not be open at such an
hour, and no railroad engine being here
to send down, nofhing was done in that
direction. However, the willingness of

Attempted Suicide Fails.
A dispatch from Denver, Col., dated

available. In the North Carolina In-
sane Asylum he acquired a national
reputatioa as an expert on mental dis-
eases, but after a quarter of a century
in that place he was forced tg retire.
He achieved an equal reputation in
Colorado.

FIRESIDE FRAGMENTS.
"A little flour dredged over the top
of a cake will keep the icing from run-
ning.
"Fruit cake can be preserved for a
long time by placing it in a box with
an apple, and keeping in a cool place.
If the apple shows signs of rotting, it
must be replaced by a good one.
"A most delicious homemade flavor-
ing may be prepared by grating into
one-half pint of alcohol the yellew
rinds of four lemons. Shake this daily
for three or four weeks, and at the end
of that time it will be ready for use.
"A Delicate Pudding."Cream a
pound of butter and sugar, add eight
well-beaten eggs, flavor the mixture
with nutmeg. Line a pudding dish
with thin puff paste, pour in the pud-
ding and set in a very hot oven for ten
minutes. Serve without sauce."N.
Y. Ledger.
"Paked Ham."Seak the ham in eald
water over night; trim, wipe dry, cover
it with a paste made of flour and water
and bake in a slow oven. When done,
take off the crust and peel off the skin;
allow to cool, glaze and garnish with
carrots and beets cut into fancy shapes.

and set it aside in the ice box until
wanted, then remove carefully from
the old and serve.
"Apple Rice Pudding."Pare, quar-
{er and core three tart apples and
spread loosely in a buttered agate pud-

Arctic Rhinocerosy
A gigantic specimen of the arcti¢
rhinoceros has lately been discovered
frozen up in an iceberg which strand-
ed to the Lena delta, The specimen
was seven feet taller than the largest
variety of the rhinoceros of to-day,
ind was armed with two nose
orns, the. shortest of which . was
three feet two inches in length.
The .animal doubtless belonged
to the -antediluvian species of rhi-
noceros, and his ehormous size gives

Several car loads of horses that start-
ed tram Oregon for Kentucky last
week were stopped at Shoshone, Idaho,
by the owners and the horses were
taken tromthe cars and sold for fifty
cents apiece. This was more profitable
than to pay the heavy freight bill with
what the horses would have brought in
Kentucky. There is evidently a great

The throngs that blockaded El
Paso street from store front to
curb have gradually dwindled to
complete disappearance, and the
groups that are occasionally en-
countered on the cross thorough~
fares are composed, in the main,
of Mexicans from Juarez or rora

try. The headquarters, too, are.
deserted and need onlv & stream-

feeling is next door to general
that something will again hap-

The latter rallied Fitzsimmons
~pleasantly on his spectacular
play of yesterday and suggested
that he looked in better vemper.
Fitzsimmons responded that he
meant every word uttered Mon-
day ; that he still regarded his
opponent asa ostiff� and a yet
low dog and was satisfied that he
had no intention of fighting on
Friday. The Boston man offered
to battle a twenty that Fitzsim
mons was way off and the latter
replied with @ sneer that »e was

than $100. O'Rourke, who was
by this time nettled, pulled out a

hustled the fighter out of the
back door, while O'Rourke, who
had been an amused listener, went
whistling down the street. .
Fitzsimmons took four hours
exercise at his Juarez quarters
this afternoon, boxing with Me-
Coy, the local heavy-weight,
wrestling with Jack Stelsener, of
St. Louis, and punching the bag.
~here is no question that be is in
magnificent shape while his tem-
|per toward Maher is decidedly
ugly. Everything indicates that
he will put up the fight of his lifeT
if the opportunity is offered three
days hence.
A semi-official statement given
out from headquarters today says
in part: mo
oNo one should think that the
Fitzsimmons- Maher fight will not
take place simply because the les.

was no question of his being fit

a white barber of that town for
refusing to shave biw. The ne-
groes of Haverhill claim that they
are discriminaled against on ac-
count of their color, and this 1s to
be made a test case. And yet,
when Boston hotels recentlv re

pression that the oHab� was the

scholar, and the Greek oration on
speech day in ChristTs hospital, to
which, on a memorable occasion, he
listened, was not intelligible to him,
save one word. That word was

EXPENSES OF PATENTS.
Exclusive Rights for Inventions
Cost Very High.
The Patent Office Is a Money Making In-
stitution for the Government"Much
Time Required to Study
Up Cases.
The government has recently granted
two patents, which cover probably the
most intricate and complex machine
ever constructed. It is cluimed that be-
fore the first machine was perfected
the company constructing it had ex-
pended $1,300,000. The first applica-
tion filed contained 204 sheets of draw-
ings, having over 1,000 separate views.
During the eight years the case was
pending in the office before allowance
¢
163. When it is remembered that the
majority of patents have but 1 single:
sheet of drawings, and that to require
as many as ten sheets is quite un excep-
tion, the magnitude of the invention
can be understvod, The fees charged
by the patent office are uniform for all
cases, no matter how complex cr how
simple"$15 for filing the case and $20
additional on allowance of the patent.
When this case was filed it was turned
over for examination to an examiner,
who received a salary of $1,800, and he
spent six weeks in studying the case
before being able to make the first ac-
tion. The entire specification was twice
rewritten, each time by a different at-
torney. How much this cost the inven-
tor is not known, but it is rumored
that the attorney who first prepared the
case received a fee of $10,000 and an
allowance of $2.000 extra to pay for
the drawings. While the ease was pend-
ing the examiner who first had it in
charge resigned from the office, and it
was turned over to another assistant
of the same rank. This assistant went
over the entire ground three times,
consuming several weeeks, and finally
he was authorized to go to Chicago
and spend a month in examining a
working machine. When the request
was first made of the commissioner
that the examiner be permitted to make
the trip it was promptly refuscd. For
argument the chief of the division then
carried in the papers, making a pile
some two feet thick of unfolded draw~
ings and typewritten specification, and
olife is true, but it is not correct as gen-
~the commissioner said: oHe can go.�
The machine is for the setting, justify-
ing and distribution of type. It com-,
prises no less than 13,600 separate parts.
The patent office is a money making,
institution. It earns, above expenses,
about $200,000 per year, and now has)
deposited in the treasury a neat little
balance of over $4,000,000. Upon this
job, however, it ~ost about $1,000 worth
of time of the various patent office of-
ficials before maturing into a patent,
and when issued the patent rule had
to be followed of preparing copies for

DIVORCE IN TURKEY.
The Only Formality 1s the Return of the
BrideTs Dowry. |
Divorce in Turkey is obtained with a
facility which would surprise even our
transatlantic cousins. As easily as
Abraham cast forth Hagar, the bond-
woman, and her child, so also can the
Turk open the door of his harem and
send out into the world the woman who
no longer pleases him. He has but to
give her back her dower and personal
effects. In the upper.classes, however,
certain legal formalities are gone
through,T and indeed, as the lady is
usually protected by her parents, di-
vorce is, comparatively speaking, rare.
There are instances, however, in Con-
stantinople of ladies in the highest of-
ficial. circles who are not yet very far
advanced in years, who have been di-,
voreed twice, thrice, and even ten times.
Among the lower orders divorce may be
described as a farce. Many girls who
are not yet 20 years of age have been
divorced and remarried a dozen times.
The surprises of divorces are among
the most amusing features of Turkish
~social life. A very great personage,
second only to the sultan in rank, un-
Jess, indéed, it be the Sheik U] Islam,
| married some few years ago, when his
position was very inferior to what it is
at present, a highly educated lady, of
~good connection and fortune, but, ac-
cording to his ~excellencyTs version of
the story, of ungovernable temper.
Within the year they were divorced and
remarried. The lady soon found
her new husband disagreeable, and.
~was once more divorced. It must be
remembered that if a Turk can divorce
his wife, she can only divorce him at
his pleasure by making herself as un-
pleasant.to him as possible. In former
times he tied her up in a sack and had
day: he divorces her. ot) :|

RESCUED A PRESIDENT.
How Lincoln Was Saved from Drowning
' a8 @ Boy.
However -poor the Lincoln home may
have been, it affected the new child but
little. He was robust and active, and
life is full of interest to the child happy
enough to be born in the country. He
had several companions. There was
his sister Nancy, or Sarah"both names
ure given to her"two years his senior;
there was a cousin of his mother, ten
years older; Dennis Hanks, an active
and ingenious leader in sports and mis-
chief, and there were the neighborsT
boys. One of the latter, Austin Golla-,
her, still tells with pleasure how he
hunted coons and ran the woods with
young Lincoln, and once even saved his
life.
oYes,� said Mr. Gollaher, othe story
that I once saved Abraham Lincoln's
erally related.
oAbraham Lincoln and I had been go-
ing to school together for a year or
more, and had become greatly attached
to each other. Then school disbanded
on account of there being so few schol-
urs, and we did not see each other for
a long while. One Sunday my mother
visited the Lincolns and I was taken
along. Abe and I played around all day.
Finally we concluded to cross the creek
to hunt for some partridges young
Lincoln had seen the day before. The
creck was swollen by a recent rain,
and in crossing on the narrow footing
Abe fell in. Neither of us could swim.
T got a long pole and held it out to Abe,
who grabbed it. Then I pulled him
ashore. He was almost dead and T
was badly seared. I rolled and pound-
ed him in good earnest. Then I got
him by the arms and shook him, the
water meanwhile pouring from his
mouth. By this*means I succeeded in
bringing him to and he was soon all
right. -
oThen a new difficulty confronted us.
cur wet:
clothes, they woul? whin us. This'
ve creaded frem oexpernenee, and de-|
termined to avoid. It was June; the
sun was very warm, and we soon dried
our clothing by spreading it on the
rocks about us. We promised never
to tell the story, and I never mentioned
the incident to anyone until after Lin-
colnTs tragic end.
oAbraham Lincoln had a sister. Her
name was Sallie, and she was a very
pretty girl. She went to school when
she could, which wes not often.
oYes, if you must know, Sallie Lin-
coln was my sweetheart. She was
about my age. I loved her and claimed
her as boys do. I suppose that was one
reason for my warm regard for Abe.
When the Lincoln family moved to In-
diana I was prevented by circum-
stances from bidding good-by to either
of the children. And I never saw them
again.�"McClureTs Magazine.
A GREAT SATISFACTION.
Fellow.
A correspondent tells a story of a
handsome black horse, so big and
strong that he seemed hardly to feel
the weight of the heavy delivery wagon
with which he made the rounds of the
fellow, who ought to have been the
creature driven. Blows, kicks and an-
gry words were the only caresses he
ever bestowed upon his steed, and these
the horse suffered quietly for many
a long day, till finally even his endur-
ance gave out. .
One hot morning the man reined the
horse in roughly by the curbstone.
On dismounting he seemed to think
the wagon too near, and harshly or-
dered his steed to back, emphasizing
the cominand with a cut from his whip.
The horse backed obediently, though
angrily, while the man, heated by his
exertions, took off his coat, and, having
hung it over the dashboard, disap-
peared in the house.
The horse waited until the driver was
out of sight, then, looking around, he
saw the coat hanging only a short dis-
tance from his heels. Instantly a
change came over him. He actually
seemed to laugh as he lifted one foot
and let it fly at the coat.
Finding that he could not hit it well,
he began to beat a regular tattoo upon
it; first with one foot, then with the
other, and, finally, as he grew excited,
with both at once.
Surely no coat ever had a more thor-
ough dusting. Out flew note books, pa-
pers and handkerchiefs, and rolled into
the gutter, but the horse kept cn until
he heard a door slam, and he knew his
master was returning. Then, witha
final kick that sent the coat under the
wagon, he settled sleepily down in the
shafts and pretended to be watching
a pair of mules that had just gone by.
He didnTt seem to mind the slaps the
belongings, and when he started off hi
looked up at the window and appeared.

ing him and half wishing they could
