If you took" the entire dish from the waiter and uied it to make a "jell sanwitch," as yon write me, you made a great big error, and, as Uncle Remus says, "there's where you broke your molasses jug. 2fcthing is sweeter than an innocent, healthy girl, Lulu, but people of refinement these days do not always have enough to eai.it seems to me, and even at the abode qf wealth I have often gone without butter and coffee through the entire meal, and then, as if remorseful perhaps, the hostess would try to make 10 cents' worth of coffee do for a dozen grown people. We have got to put up with these things, Lulu, if we are going to lead the pace that kills. Mame, Centralia, Ills. Yes, you may take up the bone of smaller game in your fingers at table, but here in the1 east they are how drawing the line at 4 -year-old steers.

If you are fond of the marrow, and the thigh bone of a Holstein cow is given you, remove the marrow with a cheese scoop or get the butler to whittle out a pine paddle that will fit the opening. Elbow sleeves are mostly worn by those who attempt this. You certainly made a mistake in creating sucjh a racket over such a little thing as you! refer to.

General Manager John R. Kenly, of the Atlantic Coast Line, Will Sail To-Pay for London. rBaltimore Sun, June H. Mr. John R.

Kenly, general manager of the Atlantic Coa3t Line, of which Mr. Harry Walters, of Baltimore, is president, will sail for Europe to-morrow on the American liner New York. He goes to represent hia company at the International Railroad Congress, which will meet in the Imperial institute, London, June 26th. and which will have for its presiding officer the Prince of "Wales. Mr.

Kenly is a Baltimorean by birth, a son iof Mr. George T. Kenly, and a nepnewof.the late Maj. Gen. John R.

Kenly, for whom he wa3 named. When a boy of 16 Mr. Kenly went South and joined the Confederate army, and served until the war closed. His distinguished uncle was a gallant soldier on the Union side. After the war Mr.

Kenly returned to Baltimore and studied civil engineering and was engaged on extensive surveys in! West Virginia. He became resident engineer of a division on the Pittsburg and Gonnellsville railroad, -was an assistant engineer in the construction of the Union railroad and practically built the Union tunnel. He became superintendent of the Union railroad, and on the sale of that road Jo the Pennsylvania went to Richmond and built the massive iron railroad bridge over the James rivpr. HThpn he was amxrinted sunerin tendent of the Richmond and Petersburg railroad on the consolidation or tne roaas now forming the Atlantic Coast Line and has risen through several promo tions to) his present position of superintendent. The boneres3 promises to be the lar gest and most important conference of railway officials ever held, and represen tatives of American railways will be more numerous and will take a more prominent part in it than at any inter national convention heretofore held Some of the brightest railway men of this country will be there, and it is extracted thev will make their impress upon the body.

Most of the delegates will sail from New York for London via Southampton; on the JNew York, on Wednesday. Headquarters for the American delegates will be at the Hotel 1 Victoria, Charing Cross, London. There will be present at the congress representatives of more than 300,000 miles of railway lines, who will be afforded an opportunity for the interchange of -vie ws on the broadest possible grounds. A large number of carefully prepared 'papers will be presented and discussed. The three days following the opening of the congress will be devoted to the inspection of English railways.

There is also to be an exhibition of English railway appliances which will be open just before and during the session of the congress! Material tor Cotton Covering. J. Moller shipping agents and cotton factors in Galveston, Texas, make out a strong case against sugar cloth bagging for the covering of cotton bales. This material has been strongly commended by some handlers and shippers of cotton and has been sanctioned by some of the Exchanges, but it may be that this favorable action has been taken on insufficient trial. Possibly, also, Moller Co.

have had particularly bad luck. They complain that the stuff is strong enough for the purpose, and that no sugar cloth is used for cotton bailing till it has become quite unfit for anything else. It is suggested that the damp sugar and the weak sulphuric acid in which the sacks are cleaned rots the fibre, and that the old sugar sacking is used for various other purposes before it gets down to cotton bailing. This is a matter that requires thorough investigation. If the sugar cloth be out of the question the search should be made for something else.

It is not improbable that a better quality of the jute eloth now use I would be more economical than the present shiftless manner of packing the cotton. The cotton shippers at Southern ports are the men who must lead in this work of educating the producers to putting their crop up in better shape, and we are glad to see that the New Orleans Cotton Exchange is engaged in this necessary work. It is not uncommon for cotton to be exposed to the weather on the plantations for weeks, which unquestionably impairs its value, and if the cotton planters imagine that the European spinners are dull enough to pay the same price for cotton regardless of its condition, they need to have their eyes opened. At the country compresses it is insufficiently pressed and covered. At the seaports it is better pressed, but probably not better covered; and it is not so thoroughly pressed as the cotton of India and Egypt, which does not appear to be injured by the pressure, which unquestionably makes it less liable to injury by fire and water.

The Southern cotton raisers need to have explained to them the intimate connection between the prices they get for their cotton and the condition in which rthe cotton reaches the spinner. They do root see the connection. Theydo not sell rto the spinner and they do not under-. stand how they are affected. They sell to a buyer at or near their homes and they imagine that if the cotton reaches ita destination in bad condition the loss alia on the middleman.

The middleman knows better, and he ought to explain jto the producer that he knows about can sell the cotton for and that governs what he pays for it, and what he canget for the cotton is influenced by the condition in which it arrives at the cotton factory in competition with the admirably packed cotton of India and Egypt. The loss on cotton wasted from the halo on account of the torn cover and on aecount of wetness and discoloration and damage of every sort comes ultimately out of the pocket of the producer. It the South wishes a better price for its cotton the first thing for it to do is to deliver its cotton to the spinner in good condition, New York Jour (r ttflffiVS?

L- The RTinna.1 meeting of the stockhold ers of the Carolina Insurance company, of Wilmington was held yesterday at the office of the company on Princess street, between Front and Water. Mr. B. F. Hall was called to the chair and Capt.

Henry Savage was requested to act as secretary. The secretary and Eugene S. Martin, were appointied a committee on credentials. They jreported 1,820 shares represented in person, and 1,511 by proxy, making shares represented out of a total of 5,000. The secretary reaji the annual report of Mr.

D. L. Gore, and the same was received and spread on the iminutes. The report shows that since the last annual report the company has paid $5,376.91 in losses and $2,899.50 in dividends, The increase in assets during the past twelve months has been $3,354.47, the reinsurance re-serye $1,150 and the net surplus $909.35. The president remarks that these gains should be gratifying to all the stockholders.

He furthermore says in his report: "The company has continued its practice Of paying all losses in cash without deducting the usual discount for prompt payment. It is our intention to adhere to this rule. "Since our last annual meeting the company has purchased a half interest in the warehouse in rear of our office building. Should a favorable opportunity offer itself we: will probably purchase the remaining interest. "A few months ago Mr.

G. W. Williams who had served the company faithfully, and without compensation sihce its organization as its president felt it necessary, on account of the increasing duties of the office, to resign the position. The board of directors reluctantly accepted his resignation after unanimously adopting resolutions thanking him for his efforts in promoting the interests of the company. "The board of directors would again urge upon every stockholder the importance of using every effort to place in their own company all the insurance it is willing to carry.

If every stockholder would keep this in mind they would soon reap the benefits in increased dividends." The annual report of Mr. M. S. Wil-lard, the secretary and treasurer, was read. It can be found in full in the company's advertisement in this morning's Messenger.

The following Board of Directors was re-elected: D. L. Gore, Clayton Giles, S. Solomon, G. W.

Williams, D. G. Worth, Donald MacRae and Luhr Vol-lers. At a meeting of the Board of Directors the following officers were re-elected for the year: D. L.

Gore, president; Clayton Giles, vice president; M. S. Willard, secretary and treasurer. Half Haman Half Calf. The Rev, S.

L. Swain, of Brunswick county, who was here xy esterday, stopping with his friend, the Rev. L. Sellers, 115 South Front street, bring3 news of a monstrosity in the shape of a half calf half human of which a cow in Shallotte township became the mother on Friday May 31st. The cow belonged to Mr, William Frink and the monstrosity was born on the plantation of Mr.

Frink's father-in-law, Mr. Cornelius Thomas. It had no tail and half of its face and body were human, including a perfectly shaped shoulder, arm, hand, leg and foot. The other half was that of a calf, and the thing walked erect. On Saturday June 8th, Mr.

Frink went to his father-in-law's, and when they went to a grove to see the curiosity, they found that somebody had killed it. They don't know who killed it, but they say it was getting along well the last time it was seen alive. Raleigh had 18 deaths in May 10 colored. JtLr. Wnu M.

Not many cases of general interest was tried The two negro tramps from Florida who were arrested here two weeks ago with stolen goods in their possession were (Bent to the penitentiary, one for two xyears and the other for three. One other negro was sent up for one year for stealing a pig.

Quite a sensation was developed in court Saturday morning. Two young men a lawyer and a jeweller had been indicted before the grand jury for gambling. Five others were summoned to testify against them. They refused to give evidence, on the ground that such action would have a tendency to criminate The grand jury presented all for refusing to testify, but Judge Coble decided that he had no authority to force them, and they were allowed to go unwhipped of justice. Saturday night an alarm of fire was sounded and both fire companies; with a throng of citizens, quickly turned out to extinguish the flames.

The fire was in Mr.1 John D. Wells' kitchen, which had caught from a lamp. By quick work the; flames were extinguished. Slight damage was done. Kinston Notes.

The Methodist' Sunday school at this place will go to Morehead City to-morrow on its annual excursion and picnic. Mr. Charles Foy, of this place, II has arranged to move from our city to Mays-ville, a station on the Wilmington, New-bern and Norfolk road, where he will engage in business. I I regret to note the fact that Eugene, the only son and child of Mr.

(j Crops are wonderfully improved ih the last two weeks, Cotton acreage is very small compared jwith former years. The Sun's Cotton Review. New York, June 11.

The Sun's cotton report says: Cotton fell 4 to 6 points, recovered most of this and then again dropped 3 to- 5 points, but rallied and closed steady at a decline of 1 point, with sales of 117.100 bales. New Orleans de clined 4 to 5 points, but recovered inost of this. Liverpool advanced 1 point I but lost this, and next crop months closed 1-2 1 a point lower, than last night and quiet. The spot sales were 8,000 bals at unchanged prices. Port receipts Were 2,942 bales, against 1,375 this day last week and 3,577 last year: thus far this week 8,651.

against 6,688 last week. Spot cotton here was quiet and un changed, with no sales, Southern spot markets were quiet, and unchanged. Port exports were 1,966 bales to the Continent. In Manchester yarns were quiet and steady, clothes quiet. To-day's features were: Prices were ir regular, alternately declining and ad vancing within modern limits, but in the end the market showed considerable steadiness, and the last prices were about the same as those of yesterday.

Against the market to-day there was the disappointing news from Liverpool, local sel ling, some selling on continental orders, and the idea prevalent among some op erators that the Government report would bear an interpretation favorable to the advocates of lower prices, inas much as the acreage for the coming sea son is given by Statistician Robinson at 20,184,000 acres, or practically the same as in 1891, when a crop was raised of 9,033,000 bales. The answer to this, however, is that the acreage in that year was greatly underestimated by the Government, just as it was for the last season, when the Government began with an estimate in May, 1894, of only acres, and afterwards raised it to 23,630,000. Some think the bureau figures of yesterday indicate a crop of not over 7,500,000 bales. This afternoon the market was stronger on local covering, mainly due to a report that Neill Bros, will issue a bullish circular in a or two. The undertone of the market seems to be firm, in spite of the momentary narrowness of the speculation.

Everywhere We Go We find some one who has been cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. and people on all hands are praising this Igreat medicine for what it has done for them and their friends.

For over six months inquiries have been oozning in an matters of etiquette from every quarter of the globe, and I now take pen in hand to answer very briefly these accumulated questions. Last year I ran a department that attended to these queries, but she was offered a better position in February, and I could not see my way clear to raising her. salary this year owing to the congestion of sound money. In fact, I may say here, without fear of successful contradiction, HIS ETIQUETTE DEPARTMENT. that, after almost superhuman efforts to borrow money for the payment of my income tax in April, I was obliged to write the president as follows Colonel Grover Cleveland, Fearless Executive and Fisherman of the United States Friend Cleveland I am mortified almost to death to -write you, making what is called a "poor mouth" regarding the income tax and ray failure to put up 'same.

At this writing of course I have slender hopes that the act will be repealed or declared ungrammatical by the supreme court, but-' in the meantime I have been repeatedly dunned for same, and only today have I had the courage to write and ask you to give me time. If it will be the same to you, I am willing to assume a part of the national debt, paying it as it falls due in 60 or 70 years, but to realize at once on collateral or other property during this metallic stringency is quite impossible. The government is fully aware that I have been a stanch friend in time of sore need. Yet I have never asked the United States for a favor. If now my income tax should be allowed to become delinquent and be advertised, it Would hurt me with people who are now cheerfully, supplying me with rump steak and other delicacies.

Mr. President, I would not take up your time in this way if I had not on every occasion in season or out of season stood by you. You can have no idea how many times my voice has been heard in your defense, even though I do not belong to your own party. Time after time I have fought for you against overwhelming odds when prominent Democrats, whose names I can give if necessary, have called you "a biggety, stubborn, malignant, typhoid calamity." I don't know how many times I have been your defender to the neglect of my own business. I have said both at home and abroad that you seemed to be bigger than your party, and to enjoy better health also.

Now, as I say, if my tax can be made payable after I get to lecturing next winter, or if you could sign a note with me that would be accepted at the interior department, I could give you a second mortgage on a good cottage organ which I am paying for in eggs. It has a pedal, vox humana stop, flute, piccolo and tremolo stops, and the agent also stops with us when he is coming this way. (Show this to Mr. Lamont. I'll bet he will laugh.) Please write as soon as possible and relieve the intense strain which is now rapidly making a middle aged man of me.

Yours truly, E. W. Nye. P. S.

We now have at our cheery home three dear little girl babies of the same age. The eldest I have named Frances, the second Ruth and the youngest Esther. I saw in the pap you sent $500 to a set of triplets in Illinois, who were named after your family, but I think that was too much. Three hundred dollars would be ample, I think, and thiudc you very kindly, Mr. Cleveland.

E.W.N. But I have received no reply and would go on to Washinirtcn if I felt at all sure of finding the president there. However, let us hasten to answer some of the questions to which I referred some time since. Nora, Escanaba, Mich. Grape seeds are removed from the mouth with the fingers.

Your fiance did perfectly right in reproaching you if you blew them out of the window, for you might have put an eye out for some casual passerby. Maud, Newport-in-the-Neck, R. You doubtless offended the duke by snickering at him when he filled his coffee cup full of mustache, coming out only to shake himself like a big, damp dog, or a big, damp fool, as the case may be. American girls who cannot be dignified during the cuttings up of a duke are not suitable society for high bred mendicants from over the seas. Fie, Maudiel Tut, tut! I say.

It's queer to me that you cannot tut Eleanor, street, K. W. Washington. Yes, you are right. The custom now so well established of riding up and down Pennsylvania avenue together and speaking pieces on the front porch of the capi-tol on the 4th of March was inaugurated by Mr.

Cleveland and Mr. Harrison, and some think it may continue for years. Pessimist, Avenue New York City. You should not fold your napkin while visiting a friend and at the close of a meal unless yon remain longer than one meal and recognize the TiapTrirt on the second round. Then you may safely do it up, taking care not to draw too much attention while doing it A good plan is to get everybody to look out of the window at the elevated train for a few moments, during which you may deftly fold the fool thing into a large spongy mass and be ready to converse when they look around again.

Rosebud, Hillgirt, N. No, I cannot recommend any depilatory as absolutory safe. You make a great mistake, however, in trimming them off with the scissors. And when yon do if your affianced refers to it and sympathizes SHE GAVE HIM A PAMPHLET. Michigan maple sirup soft boiied with eggs; mush and milk, baked beans and custard pie.

Those, Pansy, are the delicatessen which appeal to me. Bergamot, South Haddam. If you are trying to reduce your weight by living on bird seed and cistern water, you will no doubt succeed, but the glow of health will not mantle in your cheek very much. The angels will come and get you away from South Haddam some morning while you are gnawing on your cuttle bone, and with your feet hanging over the edge of a water soaked cloud you will sail around through the blue empyrean. Do not try to do it, Bergamot, I beg of you.

Eat your victuals as required, or yon will surely pass on to spirit life. Yes, I have told you repeatedly in these columns that the toothpick belongs to the seclusion of your own room. Some day there may be, in the more Elaborate homes, just off the dining room, a little toothpick room, but at present, unless you can slip under the table unseen or throw the corner of the tablecloth over your head meantime, I would say do not pick the teeth or use profanity in any public place. 1 Those Muddled Orators, en joyed your lecture on the finan cial issue very much, said the citizen to the orator, "but I would like to ask you one question.
