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 can’t 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 “sentiment 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 have thrown a large stream of water from Tar River on the flames.—Kins- ton Free Press. 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 the firemen of our neighbur. town tv Gov.

Paso, Texas, Feb. 19.—In- » possible meeting be- tween Maher aad Fitzsinimons on Friday has about petered ont 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 ities from the surrounding coun- try. The headquarters, too, are. deserted and need onlv & stream- er of crape on the door. The feeling is next door to general that something will again hap- pen tv. keep the men from en‘er- ingthe ‘ting. Fitzsimmons took his daily spin to town on his wheel this'morning. Julian had preceded him on an international mulecar, = Opposite the Federal bui theCornishman encountered stake | holder Tom O'Rourke, of Boston. 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 “stiff” 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 not in the babit of betting less than $100. O'Rourke, who was by this time nettled, pulled out a wad ot $100 bills and suggested ‘thatit be wade $1,000. Willingtv Fitzsimmons assented and the two men hustied across the street to. headquarters, where Julian was holdidg the fort solitary and alone. Give me some, money. Ju- lian, said Fitzsimmons. “Give me a wad of it.’ “What for” nonchalenty asked the mauager. “T bave bet O'Rourke $1,000 that “Stiff Maher wont fight”, was the reply. “Give m6 a roll.” “Not oa your life” was the manager's answer. I have no money to be staking yuu on such fool plays. heep yourself quiet and! your mouth shout;” abd with this he 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 life’ if the opportunity is offered three days hence. A semi-official statement given out from headquarters today says in part: mo “No one should think that the Fitzsimmons- Maher fight will not take place simply because the les. Stuart has been placed in a bet- ter position to pul! off the big figbt since the little events are out of the way than he was be- fore. There 18 no need for the visitors that’ remain to fear it The ring is well located.” from Las Cruces today says that Maher walked twelve miles yes- terday.and afterwards took two hours’ exercise in doors. His eyes were doing well and there was no question of his being fit tor the ring Friday. — 2 Fitzsimmons received a dis- datch dated at Chicago and read- ing as follows: “To Robert Fitzsimmons: take it back asI did before.

And yet, when Boston hotels recentlv re fused accommodations to a color: ed bishop, and to. several other negroes that went Nort. on an entertainment tour, many of the Massachusetts papers outside of Boston sougat to prodnce the im- pression that the “Hab” was the ouly place in tbe State where race prejudice exists.

A Polite Lord Mayor. Among the stories in circulation about the late Joseph Harris, the well- known master of the city of London school, who died recently, is one in con- nection with Lord Mayor Owden. That worthy gentleman was not a Greek scholar, and the Greek oration on speech day in Christ’s hospital, to which, on a memorable occasion, he listened, was not intelligible to him, save one word. That word was “Owden”—-so pronounced—and Mr. Harris used to tell his friends privately how each time it occurred in the Greek oration, Sir Thomas, fondiy supposing thatcompliment was being paid to him- self, rose and solemnly bowed.—House- hold Words. —Even if in the midst of an avalanche of work He calls you “apart into a des- ert place to rest awhile,” and even if the desert mean only a headache or a rainy day instead of a journey, make no com- plaint, but follow close.—Anna Warner.

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 “life is true, but it is not correct as gen- ‘the commissioner said: “He 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.

The Only Formality 1s the Return of the Bride’s 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,’ 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 ‘excellency’s 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) :| | "Po "return to the lady in question. ‘he ‘next time she was heard-of by her frionds was as/aiteticher in the Moham- jomedam high sehool for girls at Scutari.

Tableau! The ease with which divorce can be ob-|. tained in Turkey leads to many abuses and creates a state of affairs not un- like our prostitution, 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 neighbors’ 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. “Yes,” said Mr. Gollaher, “the story that I once saved Abraham Lincoln's erally related. “Abraham 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. - “Then 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- coln’s tragic end. “Abraham 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. “Yes, 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.”—McClure’s 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 didn’t seem to mind the slaps the belongings, and when he started off hi looked up at the window and appeared. to wink'at those who had been watch- ing him and half wishing they could tr GIVES YOU THE NEWS FRESH EVERY AFTERNOON (EXCEPTSUNDAY) AND .
