Raleigh, N. C, 'Jan. 7.?(Special.)?
Though the new men.be.us of the Rnll
<ivay Commission said 'yesterday only
tmlnor mutters, regarding overcharge
ivould be taken up, and so told -their
associate. Dr. Abbott, yet this after?
noon they made a, sweeping reduction
of yearly telephone-rates of rental by
ordering the following >m effect on
end after February 1st: Business tele
.phones. special wlre,.$30; two and three
?party wire, each 521; four and live par?
ty wire, each $1S; residence teltph mos,
special wire, $1S; two and three party
?wire, each $1G; four and five party wire,
each $14.
These rates do not apply to service
outside the corporate limits of any city
or town. Commissioner Abbott says
he believes the question of reduction of
railway passenger rates will be taken
up at a very early date, possibly to?
morrow.
There was much comment here 11
day on the retirement by P. \V. Aver

of the North Carolina railway. He
was Governor Russell's chief counsel
In the matter. He last .Monday present- !
ed a bill for.f2.00l) Tor fee und same
f'OO for expenses to the directors of the
road, which was not paid, but was
referred to the executive committee.
He la reported to have said that had
the road been wealthy he would have
charged $1?,C00. ?

AT TH13 HAUNTED TAVERN.
(Harrodsburg (Ky.) Democrat.)
Readers of this paper will remember
that about a year ago we publshed the
blood-curling experience of the Yocum
family at the "haunted tavern" on the
Mack Cecil farm, three miles from this
place. The house was. built In 17US and
has a bloody history. If its walls could
talk tlnn- could give a fiendish account
of the murder of a traveler for his gold
along about 1815. Here It was In ISL'O
a little slave rail upon the roof to es?
cape the chastisement at the hands of
his young mistress. She went into the
house, and returning with a rille, bade
the little Imp to descend. He refused
and fthc shot' h'ini through the head, and
he rolled from the steep roof a corpse
at her feel. It was In this same liouse
that young Dr. Harry Thomas lived in
1880, using the upper .story us a "doc
tor'a shop" and dissecting room, nnd
who died a horrible dea,th within Its
precincts in 1832.
But t ? return to the Yocum family.
They moved Into the place two years
ago. One day, ?as heretofore related,
t'he father and two eoira were shucking
corn near the house, and something like
a largo rod comfort came .through 'the
weatherbbardlng and Happed In the air
ami would then go bnck through the
planks. This happened several times,
?and always In daylight, and on the side
of fhe house where there was no win?
dow or even a. crack in the planks.
While the blood-red object could be
sc. ii by the men nt work In the field
and by the neighbors, no one at the
house was ever oblo to see anything
unusual. About the same time, but at
night. Chairs began to bump or walk
acri is the tloor. The upshot of 11 was
that the Yocums moved out nnd got
as far away from the place as possi?
ble, going to the extreme end of the
country. Then "Uncle Billy" Over
street, who lived In tho neighborhood,
bought the log or kitchen part of the
old tavern, tore it down and out of the
timbers built himself d domicile, and
from that day his troubles commenced.
One fright Uncle Billy let! this place
lo go home. On the way out he met
l.noii cattle being driven by a neighbor
who had rang been dead. He halloaed
to him. but no attention was paid to
the call, except that tho ghostly herd?
er rode Within three feet of him, stared
into his face, and passed on. . ''Uncle
i:ti!y" says -this did not senre him
much, but- admits fhat he did keep a
sharp lookout ,to prevent -being sur?
rounded by the cnKle. For two months
after this the old man always managed
to got Into the house before sundown,
j But one night he was again <! fayed
in town, and reached his cate at '?'
I o'clock, and was raising 'the lntch.
I when something gripped him on {he
I Shoulders from behind. For four solid
! hours he wns walked about the farm
by this Invisible force that Ik id him
in a death grip. At first he was dispos?
ed to hold back, but soon learned bet?
ter, for each time he rebelled he was
so vigorously shoved forward that his
head nearly jerked from bis shoulders.
Whenever a fence was rcachecr he was
lifted over It and gently set on1 his feet
on the opposite side. After being
"walked" all over the country the oh!
man was shoved into a sink hole, and
there lay till daylight. Be then crawl?
ed out. made h)s way to a neighbor's,
nnd told his harrowing"experience. In
relating this story to the Democrat
he said he was So years old, and his
long walk "fatigued him very much,
and was very wearing On his constitu?
tion." He dr-.-w a line on thb Moor
with the blade 0/ tiIs Barlow knife and
lidded: "I'm a Christian and am going
to heaven certain; J hate a liar as much
j as anybody, but what I have told yon
! is ?true as you see that mark on the
! iloor," nnd his looks and actions !m
j pressed one with the truthfulness o'.
j his tory.
THAT CUT IN WAGES
Secretary Long Gives the Committee a Con?

(Special Cor. or The Virginian.)
Washington, D. C, Jan. 7. 1898.
Congressman Young, Wi H. Falrless,
Charles O. Klzer und' Mr. .McDonald,
a committee from Norfolk to protest
against a cut ill wages In the navy
yard, were accorded tin Interview 'by
Secretary Long at 4 o'clock to-day.
Mr. Young acted as spokesman und
presented llgurcs showing a. cu,l In
several classes of workmen. He
claimed that It was an Injustice done
the men and asked that the order be
revoked or suspended pending further
Investigation. .Mr. Falrless spoke of a
cut made two years ago and showed
that as soon as the Injustice was
brought .to Secretary Herbert's atten?
tion the wage rates were restored. Air.
Klzer, for Norfolk Central Daher
Union, spoke against the reduction as
unnecessary and working a, hardship
among men least '.able to stand a re?
duction in wage?. Foreman McDonald
explained the character of work done,
the ability and skill required, and felt
tlia,t the .Secretary, lu the light of all
Wie facts und arguments presented,
would not continue tho reduction order
In force.
Secretary Long listened patiently.
He asked If living in the locality was
not cheaper than at some other navy
yards, Brooklyn and Portsmouth. N.
M.. for instance. Mr. Voting replied to
this by stating that naval ofliccrs sta?
tioned at Norfolk received the same
salary as when stationed at other navy
yards, und If workmen at the seve?
ral navy-yards doing ?i? same class
of work were to receive different
wages, the same rule should apply to
naval ?Meers. Secretary Long, In con?
cluding the audience, said' he would
consider both requests made by Mr.
Young nt once.
'1'hc committee left impressed with
?Die belief that the former wage rate
will be restored, or at least Increased
over the present rate.
The complete triumph of cx-Con
grcssman Bowden over the Lamb
Wlae lactloiv Is the talk of Virginia
Republicans here. It has. of course,
given Bowden Increased standing and
correspondingly depressed those who
followed In the wake of Lamb nnd
Wise. There appears to be, however,
but few of .the latter here, whatever
may be their numerical strength at
home.
The knock out given Dr. Wise has
not had a soothing effect upon John S.
Wise, Iii? brother and counsel. Dr.
Wise enters upon his oontest for
Young's seat discredited !by his own
President and'bls own administration,
nnd no one feels .this more keenly than
John S. Wise, who has had far greater
political experience than his brother,
and can gauge political drift better.
Dr. Wise has brought with him to
Washington Mr. Murdaugh, hie candi?
date for postmaster at Portsmouth,
but he has found ?t'he atmosphere
chilly. Bowden has the ear of the
Potmaster-Qencral and since his fight
to a finish with Wise und Lamb over
the fourth class otllces In the Second
District, In which he came out victor?
ious, 'he seems to be regarded as the
recognized dispenser of patronage in
that district. He is a. pnrt of the
machine nnd rather a large part, and
the machine is standing together closer
than brothers. Allen's appointment
for Marshal demonstrated that, and
though Walker and Yost may name
the District Attorney, he will be a
man who Is unobjectionable to the
machine.
Fur these reasons It Is not thought
here thnt Murdaugh Is a serious can?
didate for the Portsmouth postmaster
ship, excepti In his own estimation.
Darkln Is here working nwny, but as
far as surface Indications go is making
no headway. Burroughs still has the

Restful Sleep from Better
Blood Supply.
Paine's Celery Compound Fills the
Arteries,
Multiplies Number oT Vital Red
Corpuscles*
There arc degrees of sleeplessness
from the wideawake state to the sleep
which does not refresh and has In H
only the mockery of rest.
Buch sleep Is not tired nature's sweet
restorer. Dreams have power to tor?
ture ami 'to depress. Sleep, therefore.
Is not always rest, -but .trouble, and a
troubled sleep brings to the brain
iworker loss of power for thought and
labor.
It Is a well known fact that for any
part to perform actively its duties, rt
must have an- abundance nf blood;
but when the power of locally regulat?
ing the supply of blood in the brain
Is Impaired (because of Insufficient
nerve 'power the tired 'brain grinds 'the
same old grist over and over till ner?
vous prostration, paralysis or hysteria
ensues.
The cause of sleeplessness Is so clear
that the cure Is equally apparent. The
nerves must recover their grip. The
health wrecking laxity of the blood ves?
sels' must be corrected. The answer
to how 'this 1s to be done Is:
nree<l ilhe exhausted nerve tissues
with 'Paine's celery compound.
? My thus acting on the nerves Paine's
celery compound Is able to regulate the
0)lood supply and permanently banish
sleeplessness that shortens so ninny
lives, especially among those beyond
middle ago. In addition to this indirect
control over the circulation, Paine's
celery compound directly Increases 'the
amount of 'blood In the arteries and
arouses the purifying organs to drive
out impurities that often lurk in it
undeveloped for years till age or a
"run-down" condition allows 'them to
get the upper"hand.
A pale, languid woman Is not more
of a lady than a rosy, robust one.
IWomen leading fives of Imperfect
health, .with pains and aches running
riot through 'their "run-down" bodies,
are often ignorant of 'tho fact that It Is
not a specific for nervousness or rheu?
matism or stomach trouble tha't they
need, 'but fundamental building up of
every 'tissue of their bodies and a
thorough cleansing of 'their blood. The
strengthening of the constitution and
the eradlcntion .of Intent disease that
Paine's celery compound achieves
leaves no fear of that treacherous par?
tial recovery that keeps one always
afraid of relapse and sudden break?
down.
Paine's celery compound rests on the
wise modern conclusion of the best med?
ical thought, that the remedy that In?
vigorates the entire sydtcm and puri?
fies It, Is the only safe cure for such
localized diseases ns rheumatism, neu?
ralgia, sleeplessness, eczema, head
aches and 'blood diseases.
It 'Is a conrmon harmful Idea that
health keeps pace with strength. Peo
pie seem to -think that one can deter
mine the health of persons by measur
lng their arm?. Health mejans 'the ab
8cncc of pain and the presence of more
or less nerve Intensity nnd enjoyment
In the mero fact of living.
All this implies abundantly nourished
organs and blood unhampered by dis?
eased humorB.
Palne's colery compound Is especially
valuable for recruiting the strength and
spent energies of men and women ad?
vanced In years. It is the one prepara?
tion considered worthy the name of a
true nerve food and blood remedy by
physicians -throughout the country. It
Is prescribed by -them In 'every State In
the Union -to tone up the system, regu?
late the nerves and restore health and
strength.

A Rhinestone buckle the cl*pih of the

a white aigrette are set against the
crown back of the brim, all the plumage
curling forward over the edge of the
?brim. The back of the brim sets close
upon the o.Mfture. A soft twist of
velvet encircles the crown.
Russian cord woven in minute plisses
1s also in many instances bo.-dered.
In one class the borders are wide and
of ribbed silk in a lighter tone thickly
strewn with black irregular dots, the
eidges of the border 'being woven to
represent pleols as In ribbon.
In another the border Is composed of
black and self colored ribbon stripes.
A deep silk wave -border combining
black and the color of the material Is
also seen in the elegan-t Russian cord.
These borders ure variously employ?
ed, either for the accessories or 'he
trimming of i?*wns. In skirts they are
not necessarily used at a jfoit -trim?

On bod-ices they appear bet ween fronts,

other ways.

TUB BOGQ OF CHINESE COMPE?
TITION.
(From the Philadelphia. Record.)
Senntor Teller, too, has taken alarm
over the situation In China. The par?
tition of that empire between the Eu?
ropean powers, according to his view,
would "change the economic conditions
of the whole world. The people of
China haive a greater power of produc?
tion than have any other like number
of people in bhe world." and under Eu?
ropean direction they would becom Ir?
resistible competitors In trade. The
Senaitor ie> as wrung In bis prt-mi.ses as
in bit' conclusion. There are no people
whose power of production, man for
man, approaches that of the American
nation.
The Chlcngo Tribune's reporter saw
"a -train thunder through the town'in
.alienee." Unt this Is not due to the
haste of modern journalism. Thirty
