Health Lectures to Ladies.
A rare opportunity will be afforded
the ladies of Greenvillg this week, in a
series of health lectures to be givea by
Miss Cora Blinn, of Charlotte, who
will speak in the Court House Thurs-
day and Friday afternoons at 3:30
oTclock. No admission is charged, and
all ladies are cordially invited to attend.
Miss Blinn is now ona tour through
the principal towns of the State. The
following are some extracts concerning
these lectures from State exchanges.
The Charlotte News says in regard to
her lecture in that city:
oYesterday afteri.oon, Miss Cora
Blinn of this city, gave a lecture to
ladies oonly on the tupic ~Health and
Beauty.T She is an earnest, impressive
and intelligent speaker, and held the
close attention and interest of the au-
dience throughout. Health charts to
show the ravages which disease and
folly can make on the system, were
graphically described, while the beauty
~and grace of the healthy woman: were
presented in a fascinating manner. The
subject, as presented, was shown to be
of vital importance, and the lecture was
highly appreciated by the ladiesT who
were fortunate enough to attend.�
Kinston Free Press: A large num-
ber of the representative ladies of our
town heard Miss Cora BlinnTs lectures
last week. The lectures excited much
linterest, and they have gained the ears
of our people.
The relation between health and
beauty was brought out, while the nec-
cessity of health for the wife and moth-
er, and the importance of simple hy-
gienic treatment, were clearly shown.
There isa lack of knowledge concern-
ing these subjects, and the fact is deep
ful.
her audience is fully impressed that the
importance.
ture of Miss Blinn to ladies only in the
Y. M..C. A. Hall yesterday afternoon,
notwithstanding the inclement weather,
was well attended and was as profitable
as it was interesting. All who attend-
éd speak of it in high terms ot praise
and are generous in their expressions
of admiration of Miss Blinn. She will
deliver her second and last lecture in
Y. M. C. A. hall Monday afternoon at
3:30, ~The ladies of ourcity could not
do better than attend these lectures.

Fire at Kinston.
When the passenger train left Kin,
ston this morning the fire alarm had
just sounded there, and Capt. Hawks
tells us he could see volumes of smoke
rising. The ReFrLEector tried to get
some particulars but as there was trou.
ble with the telegraph wire between
Ayden and Kinston we could not learn
anything further. It is to be hoped
there was no serious fire.
Mr. Marcellus Smith is getting his
brick-yardin readiness to begin work
in'a few days. The yard is located on
the hill just over the branch below the

One of the Strange Sights
Shelter Rock Is an Object of Great In-
terest to Residents and Visitors"
oo Its Peculiar Position and
| onic
Nature played some queer pranks
when she formed Long Island. Evi-
| @enees of these are the peculiar to-
pography of the island, its still more
peculiar position upon the map, and
its striking outline, which, with its
topography, make it resemble a great
leviathan with a protruding backbone.
There is in this neighborhood one more
striking freak"a gigantic rock in a
place which is, for miles around, al-
most totally devoid of stones of any
kind. This great rock is called Shelter
rock, and is on the road between this
place and Manhasset.
~ There are some geologists who claim
that Long Island was thé result of a
great seismic disturbance which shat-
tered it fromthe. mainlaud"now Con-
~necticut and Khode Island. Others
liold..to the opinion that it was a float-
ing mass of lava which settled here
in the plastic period of the earth.
Shelter rock could owe its existence
to either of these processes. It could
have been hurled here from some stony
portion of the country by a powersoii-
mense as to be almost inconceivable
or it could have floated here upon a
eea of lava when the earth was owith-
out form and void.�
Villiam Chester owns the !and upon
which this interesting stone stands.
He keeps a stock farm, and his sheep
wse the rock for shelter, It was from
this fact that it got its name. It is
about 30 feet high, 50 feet in width
and 75 or 80 feet in length. Upon tie
top grow bushes of purple and white
lilacs, twice the height of a man, and
their roots extend down into crevices
in the rock. On its south side it shelves
out toward the top, leaving beneath
a sheltered territory where a flock of
sheep can find protection during a
storm,
There is on the west surface of the
10¢ck a large hollow niche where a man
could sleep with plenty of room. Great
eratks, showing the strains whieh have
been upon it at different ages, radiate
through it in all directions. Lichers
and moss cling to it. Besides the liae
lushes upon its top several good-sized
maple trees grow. The roadway froin
here to Manhasset passes directly by
the east side of the rock.
There is but one rock like Shelter
rock in all this region. That is whai is
called KiddTs rock, near Sands point.
where, legend says, the great pirate
captain buried some of his mucii-
sought-for treasure. KiddTs rock, how-
ever, is small, Shelter rock has been
for years the subject of much specula-
{ion and study. Classes of students
from St. PaulTs school at Garden City
have made a critical study of it. Min
cralogists and geologists from other
jastitutions have examined it. Ameng
tiem was Prof. Reis, of the Columi a
college schcol of mines, who examincd it
in the interest of the Columbia depart-
ment of geology and mineralogy.
Those who have dug down in the
earth alongside the big stone have been
unable to reach its bottom. It must
extend downward for many feet; in
fact, it is thought that only a small part
of the real stone can be seen. in Wesi-
chester county there are many rovks
similar, but none so large. There wasa
smaller one not far from here, but that
was broken up some years ago to make
stone walls. It was once suggested that
Shelter rock, which is of a good quality
of gray stone, be broken up and used
for macadam roads. An engineer wos
sent here and made careful measure-
ments of the rock. Guessing at its
depth, he estimated that it containec
enough stone to macadamize all the
réudg in North Hempstead town and
iInany more besides. Chester was o1-
fered a handsome sum for the rock, but
he refused it.
Not only are there no other big stones
in the neighborhood of Shelter Roc.
cxeept KiddTs rock, but there are bur
few stones of any kind. The immediat«
neighborhood is entirely free fro:a
them, but it seems as if all th»
stone thereabout had been solidified in-
lo one great mass.
It. has been suggested that the top of
the big stone be leveled off and the rock
used as the foundation for a meeting
hall, or a memorial building of some
kind, This would probably have bee
done before were it not for the owner's
unwillingness to sell. The old meeting-
house fermerly used by the Quakers of
this village nm but a short distance away
No one has ever estimated the weight
of Shelter rock, but the number of tong
must be pretty well up inthe thousands,
To blast it to pieces for road-making or
wall-building would require .many
pounds of dynamite."-N. Y. Times.
A GRAND OLD COUPLE.
Mrs. Gladstone as Popular in England as
Her Famous Husband.
Much of Mr. GladstoneTs marvelous |

A PRANK OF NATURE.
some type of the English country fam-
in body, and no breath of dissension or
seandal has ever disturbed the serenity| =i
of their mutual relations. Sons and
daughters, as well as those who have
entered the family by marriage, all vie
with one another in reverence and devo-
tion for the one who has done so much
to render the name which they bear
illustrious, a synonym for justice, piety
and generosity.
But superior to them all on that score
is the oGrand Old Woman,� as the ven-
erable Mrs. Gladstone, the once famous
beauty, Carry Glynn, is affectionately
described thronghout the United King-
dom. No wife is more watchful and de-
voted than she, and Mr. Gladstone has
made few political speeches in parlia-
ment when she has not sat in the gal-
lery, inspiring him with the knowledge
of her presence, and few public ad-
dresses outside the walls of Westmin-
ster when she has not sat by his side,
either on the platform or on the
hustings. Indeed, upon one occasion,
when about 15 years ago he was called
upon to speak in the open air at Green-
wich to an exeremely hostile audience,
she won the day for him by standing
throughout by his side, holding an um-
brella to shield his silvered locks from
the glare of the sun, Instead of the
hisses, the howls and even the missiles
that were anticipated from the mob,
there were cheers for the oGrand Old
Couple� and for their oGrand Old
Gamp.�"Philadelphia Times.

J. L. SUGG, Agent Victor Safe Co.,
Greenville, N. C.
Dear Siz:"I am pleased to say that the Vic-
tor Safe you sold me some five or six years ago
preserved in tact all its contents in the late fire
in Greenville on the 16th inst. The safe stood
ata point in my office in the Opera House
block that must have been. one of the hettest
parts in the great conflagration. It contained
many papers and other things of value. When
it was takon out of the ruins and opened, some
twelve hours after the fire, everything in it was
found to be sately preserved and in good con-
dition. I cheerfully make this statement of
facts in recognition of the valuable service ren-
dered me by this safe and you are at liberty to
wake such use of it as you may see proper. -
THOS. J. JARVIS.
