manuafcturing firm, one member of which happens to be a member of congress, has a right to manufacture and sell goods to jobbers who are filling government contracts, and that they do not ccme within the prohibition of the statute so long- as the contract between the firm and the jobber is" a sepearate and distinct transaction from the contracts betweeij the jobber and the government. There appears to be no evi-drice that in the manufacture of the gloves by theMessrs. Littauer Brothers to be usel in filling government contracts made by Lyon and others, there was any -violation of the statute except in one case, the contract of December 7, 1 1S9S. It is not the duty or the rig-ht of the secretary of -war to adjudicate that case, or to determine whether the statute was or was not violated, except in so far as it may be necessary for him to-decide what action if any should be taken by the war department in view of the facts disclosed. I think thei indications of an interest by the manufacturing firm in the jobbers contract with the government are sufficient to require me to proceeduPon the theory that there is a prima facie case of violation of the statute.

Three" duties are thereupon devolved upon the war department: to put the department of justice in possession of the facts in order that if that department finds the law to have been violated it may takep-propriate measures for its enforcement. This will be done. "Second, to direct the proper officer of the department to demand repayment of any sum of money which has been advanced on the part of the United States in consideration of such contract. Strictly speaking, no money has been advanced in consideration of the contract, but. the goods purchased by the government paid for on delivery.

As recommended by the judge advocate general, the opinion of the attorney general will be asked whether within the meaning- of the statute such payment constitutes an. advance for which a. demand should be made. "Third, to determine, whether- any officer of the army who was concerned; in the makingof the contract was culpable within the true intent of the law. Upon this I find." no evidence that the facts known to the officers of the quartermaster's department indicated any other relation between the firm of Littauer Brothers and the furnishing- of gloves to the g-overnment than the lawful relation described at the beginning of this memorandum.

The contracts were all made in compliance with the? requirements of upon public advertisement, on a-wards to the lowest responsible bidder, and each contained! a declaration by the contractor that no member of congress was interested. The prices appear to have been reasonable; the government appears to have got full value for its money; the inspection appears to have been rigid; and the requirements of the spdfica-tions appar to have been enforced. No influences and "no motives except a desire to attain the best interests of the -government appear to have operated upon the officers of the army in the transactions found. WHO IS HE?

He boarded it writh two com panions, and half an hour after starting it entered a very black tunnel. A man seated across the aisle asked the conductor how long it would take to pass through the tunnel. "Oh, about two hours," the conductor snapped, and hurried through the car. The man opposite fumbled among his grips.

"On your way, I says. "Fift Avenoo can loose de Chansey Lazy in' a walk, and never know it was in a race. Look at de goils!" I says.

"De goils alone can win out for dis country over any forn neck of woods dat lies out of doors." Duchess only gives me de shoulder raise, like she was saying dat forn goils wa3 good enough for me, seeing as how: I married one. So I says, "You was a pretty good American when I married you, and no gaiety goes wit dat gas." Duchess says, "Of a soitainty: I was pretty and I was good," and den she looked a tousand miles over mr-head, de way she does when she tinks she has sawed off a horse on me. De trouble wit French goils is, dat dv has de long-distance glad eye.

But dat fisn't what I was going to tell you about: as me and Duchess walzed up de Avanoo I says to her dat dere is no use trying to beat dis little old Island as long as it was on top of de eart. Duchess said dat the trouble was dal New York wouldn't long' be on top of de eart, wit all de tunnels getting ready to bury 4e people underground. "Hot air for farmers!" I says. "No fear," I says. "Dere never won't be no tunnels ready, except de loops, and when dey is ready nobody won't ride in em." Listen, I'll put you wise on tunnels: I rode in-one in London.

is dead. Th end, wrIiich had been momentarily expected for the last fortnight or so, came Sunday morning at 4:30 o'clock and marked the close of a useful life that had been well spent in the inter est of others. Mr. Bear had been sick for some time, suffering with a throat affectio.i. He received treatment at the hands of some of the most noted physicians and throat specialists in the country and only six weeks ago he returned from New York, wrhere he underwent an operation performed by the famed Dr.

Bull. Upon his return home it was seen that the vitality, once so strong and active, was on the wane and that soon his soul would go back to Him who gave it. Yet with all the suffering1 which the painful and fatal throat mal ady brought writh it Mr. Bear retained his bright nature and lovable disposi tion. After returning home the patient was carried to his summer home on Wrightsville Beach, Where his every wish was gratified by loving hearts and where he was tenderly nursed and cared for by skilled hands.

There, at the Sabbath hour mentioned, the end came peacefully and in the midst of the devoted members of his family, to whose interest and pleasure he had dedicated his life and who now mourn writh most poignant grief his passing away. The deceased personally was a man of attractiveness, for he possessed a mind of exceptional brightness. which, bv kind word or pleasant jest. constantlv shed sunshine into the lives of others. Two of the noblest attrib utes of mankind were also his frankness and sincerity.

He never de ceived friend or foe and both alike were compelled to admire him. hen there was another side to his chaiirac- ter, a side that his modesty kept (him from ostentatiously, fbut wrhich will add lustre to his crowdLJn the etrenal haven rest. That side was "sweet charity, and trom it scores of the poor and otherwise distressed, of this city derived many comforting hours. His domestic life was also beautiful and to his home he had ever been devoted. The church, too, the.

Jewish Synagogue, of which he was a faith ful member claimed much of his love. Commercially, Mr. Bear stood in the front rank of Wilmington's business men and was one of the very oldest of the merchants, for his 'prosperous career dated back almost half a cen tury. He was known throughout the state and was especially highly esteem ed by the country people, who will hear of his death with great sorrow. Samuel Bear, was a native of Oetterchausen, Bavaria, Germany, wrhere he was born "January 17, 1837 just 66 years, 6 months and 16 days before his death.

In 18o5 he left his native clime and followed his two brothers. Sol Bear, and the late Marcus Bear, to America and to Wilmington. The three brothers formed a co-partnership and conducted an ex tensive dry goods business on Market street under the firm name of Sol Bear Bros. About 18S1 he withdrew from the well known firm and embarked in business for himself, conducting a large wholesale grocerv and tobacco establishment also on Market street. Under his able direction the business steadily advanced and increased in size until it reached its present extensive and Prosperous standing.

Last September he permitted his sons. Messrs. Isaac Sigmund and Emanual, to associate themselves with him in the business and the style of the firm was changed from that of Samuel Bear, to the present title of Samuel Bear, Sons. Mr. Bear married Miss Babette Forchheimer, a native of his own city and a lady of high attainments.

The wedding Was celebrated 5n 1866 in Oetterchausen, where Mr. Bear went direct from here on the happy mission. This loving wife and three daughters. Mrs. A.

Rothschild and Misses Mamie and Julia Bear, and four sons, Messrs. Isaac Emanuel and Moses Bear, all of this city, survive him. A brother, Mr. Sol Bear, of Wilmington, a sister, Mrs. J.

Fernberger. of Wurtzburg. Germany, are also left to mourn his departure. The remains were brought up to the city yeserdav morning and at 10 o'clock the funeral whs held at the family residence. No.

The funeral was particu larly marked by the presence of many who A Congressman Was Interested STRAIGHT DEAL Secretary Root Yesterday Made Public the Papers in the Investigation of the Contract With E. A. Lyon The Contractor Secured the Gloves From a Firm in Which a Congressman is Interested There Was no Collusion Although it is Unlawful ashington, August 3.

Secretary Root today made public all the papers relating- to the investigation into the government contract for gloves with E. R. Lyon. This contractor secured the gloves from Littauer Brothers, the senior member of the firm, L. X.

Lit tauer, being a member of congress Secretary Root has referred the case to the department of justice in order that it may be ascertained if the law has been violated and if so that appro priaie measures may be taken in the premises. There is a statute which pro niDiis contracts tor government sup plies being- made directly or indirectly with a member of congress and this was the basis of the investigation by the war department. Colonel Garling-- ton, of the inspector general's depart ment was directed by Secretary Root to make an investigation of the whole matter, which he did, taking testimony and submitting a report as to the facts in the case. This report and the testi mony was referred to Judge Advocate General Davis who made an extensive review and- submitted an opinion to Secretary Root. In the course of his report and opinion General Davis says: "It appears from the testimony that on October 15, 1898, a contract was awarded to Lyon for 3,000 pairs of muskrat gloves at $1.54 per pair; on December 7, 1898, a second contract for 20,000 pairs was awarded to Lyon at $1.70 per pair, a stipulation being- in serted to the effect that deliveries under it could be increased 50 per at the discretion of the officer making the contract.

The government took advantage of the stipulation and 30,061 pairs were eventually called for and delivered under the contract of December 7, 18a9. Some discussion having arisen as to the price which Lyon was to pay for gauntlets delivered under the contract of December 7, an agreement was entered into between Littauer Brothers and Lyon to the effect that an accurate account of the cost of the manufacture was tc be kept, a.nd, if, after the contract was completed, it should prove that the cost of manufacture did not equal $1.65 per pair, Lyon was to-re ceive one half of the profits. Ther was a profit of $3,537.05 one half ot which was credited to Lyon on the books of Littauer Brothers. 'A case falling within the provisions of the statute is clearly shown in the testimony, which in the opinion of this office, charges the department with, the performance of the duty set forth in section 3,739, of the revised statutes, and it is, therefore, recommended that a demand be made toy the quartermas ter general upon the firm of Littauer Brothers for the repayment of contract of December 7, 1898, with Lyon, as -extended, in accordance with its terms, by the quartermaster's depart ment. "General Davis says the fact that a member of congress was active mana ger of a firm selling- to government con tractors should have put the office charg-ed "with, the making- of such, con tracts on his gnard against attempted violation of the statute.

It was, he says, the first duty of an officer charged with making- a purchase in behalf of the United States to see that the ar ticles are of standard quality and that the prices paid were reasonable. The testimony elicited during- the course of the investigation showing ithe prioea paid, the profits realized, and the num erous rejections of goods which fell short of the standards established by the department-shows that this duty was thoroughly and conscientiously performed." Secretary Root makes the following1 endorsement on the opinion of the judge advocate general, which send3 the case to the department of justice: "I suppose there is no 'doubt that a tt Si civ No appetite, loss of strength, nervousness, headache, constipation, bad breath, general debility, sour risings, and catarrh of the stomach are all due to indigestion.

On Saturday evening, just 'before dark, during the prevalence of an unusually severe rain and thunder-storm, lightning struck the residence of Mr. John H.

Culbreth on south Dick street, passed down the chimney, carrying with it bricks and plaster, and throwing across the room the fenders on each side the fireplace. Irs. Culbreth and child sitting in the room, were not in- jured not even shocked. The directors of the Fayetteville colored normal school Mr. H.

R. F. Devane, Red Springs, and Mr. C. Brogdeh, Kins-ton met Saturday afternoon, and elected the present efficient principal, Professor E.

E. Smith, safe in feeling that they could not do better. They adopted the conservative course of going no farther choosing a faculty, but will make the selection according to a rigid examination, conducted by Professor Brogden, of Kinston, who is one of the directors. The Cumberland county institute for white teachers opened in the graded school auditorium on upper Hay street this morning, Professor Moses, of Raleigh, presiding. The morning session was devoted to organization and the address of Professor Moses, which was sound and practical, its theme being the most effectual method of inducing a large attendance of children on the district school.

Major W. F. Robertson, of Wilmington, is expected here today; and, if he shall have arrived, there will probably toe meetings of the board of appraisers this evening and tomorrow, to assess the value of the plant of the Fayetteville Waterworks Company. This afternoon the municipal railroad committee meets in the city hall to hear the two sides of the case of the shifting of trains across Hay street. That committee will report to a meeting of the board of aldermen hereafter for final action in the matter.

The creditors of W. Bancom, Fayetteville merchant, have filed a petition in bankruptcy returnable at Wilmington on Saturday, 8th instant. Mr. W. C.

Troy was the purchasers of the reversionary interest, at trustee's sale, of the estate of J. H. Johnson, of Hope Mills, in bankr vtcy. Fayetteville has its first, labor union in the organization of the negro brick masons, who demand $3.50 for a ten-hour day. The demand for this and other labor has of course brought about the union.

Robert Williams, who was shot in the leg by Lem Elliott in a fight at a negro church in the western part of the county some days ago, reported in The Messenger, was arrested in Greensboro, where he was looking for work, and has been placed in the county jail by Deputy Sheriff Monoghan. The city of Fayetteville loses an excellent superintendent of streets by the resignation Mr. Jesse Grady, who returns to hi old calling as railroad man. Mrc. Floy Erambert, who always shows a vital interest in the welfare of Fayetteville, asks the correspondent to "boom" the project of making flower and grass plots or plazas after the plan adopted in Wilmington run with the line of electric light poles in the center of the main streets.

The idea is excellent, and, with concert of action, could be carried out with little expense.
