The rain which commenced falling on Tuesday morning continued una- bated until Thursday the sky cleared and for shone. During all Thursday cles in astream passed into the grounds while the trains brought great many, and several congregated in the park. trains on that day were morning, once the sun forenoon a The special run were annulled.

The trains scheduled were run but their capacity was not taxed to the ut- most. The day was the best of the week, however, and did much towards helping the shops out of the in which they had been placed.

It was but it long to be remembered by all who tramped the earth mush. There was not a square yard of surface with- in the tented grounds which the mud was not ankle deep, caused by the heavy rains and the driving and promenading. Men, women and chil- dren waded it heroically. Gum boots and rubbers were in demand, and the stores on the ground soon sold out this line and ordered new stock. There was good humor with spite of the mud, a feature not on the program, Was one on all in It was a sight to see how all hands—or rather feet—went | into it from morn till night.

Under the | reorganization all of the business relat- | ing to the letting of contracts and kin- | dred matters will be looked after by the Secretary of the Treasury, leaving the architect in charge of that portion { of the business only for which he is by his profession especially fitted. This | will doubtless be a relief to the new | architect, whoever he may be. Wrang- | hog with contractors has hitherto oc- | cupied a good portion of his time. | Secretary Herbert has gained a warm {spot in the hearts of the scientists by his reorganization of the Naval obser { vatory, placing it under the direction tof a civilian, instead of a Naval officer. | Secretary Herbert's long service on the | Naval committee of the House had fa miliarized him with the subject, which has been agitated for years, His ac tion has given general satisfaction and there is little doubt that it will add largely to the usefulness of the observa- tory. The party of distinguished Demo- crats who went from Washington to attend the State Convention of Demo- cratic clubs at Raleigh, N. C., brought back nothing but good words for the condition and hospitality of the North Carolina Democracy. They also brought the assurance of those who know that there was not the slightest danger from the alleged combine be tween the Republicans and Populists to control the legislature and elect a Republican and a Populist Senator. The Democratic managers in the state are certain that the next legislature will be Democratic, regardless of any combination that can possibly be made to prevent it, and that North Carolina will continue to be represented in the U, 8. Senate by two good Democrats.
