TWO FATALITIESCONFERENCE APPOINTMENTS. IOLD IN Piooom Child F ooled W ith G un. Nevrtiern, Special.—One of the m ost horrible accidents th a t has oecnrred in this place in years, took place T hurs­ day m orning, in th e house of Sam Lancaster, w hite, keeper of th e Neuse river bridge. L ancaster’s house is close to th e draw of th e bridge. It seems that, about 8 o’clock in the morning. L ancaster saw several ducks swimming close to the draw, and he w ent in and got his gun from th e rack, laying it across the bed, in the room in w hich w ere his wife and three sm all children. Lancaster, noticing th a t the gun con­ tained shot th a t was too large for ducks, w ent into an adjoining room to get some shells th a t ritekfe loaded w ith sm aller shot. W hen his back w as turn­ ed, Lottie, the eldest of th e three chil­ dren, ran over and picked up the gun; and, w hen she turned around, w ith the muzzle facing h er m other and sisters, th e gun was, In som e way, discharged, p art of the load taking effect in the head of M anilla, the youngest child, about five years old, com pletely tear­ ing th e left side of her head off. The next child, W inona, about 10 years old, received a large portion of the shot In her back, and a few scattering shots lodged in a picture th a t w as hanging on the w all. M anilla died about 10 o'clock, and W ilnona, who was shot in th e back, is seriously wounded, but, il is thought by the attending physicians, she w ill recover. One of the m ost re­ m arkable incidents connected w ith the affair is th a t the shot th a t w ent in the w all slightly grazed the neck of Mrs. Lancaster, the m other of the children.

Scores of Chicago policemen and rail­ road detectives and some SOO mem­ bers of sheriffs’ posses w ere eluded or beaten off. B ird shot accomplished w hat the K rag-Jorgensen and the W in­ chester failed to do. The day’s developm ents began w ith a fight in a sand h u t near Pine, Ind., w here the desperadoes w ere surround­ ed by eight Chicago detectives. The latter had tw o W inchesters and regu­ lation police revolvers. The bunted men w ere arm ed w ith autom atic m ag­ azine revolvers, reinforced by several o»! other patterns. In this figlit D etective Joseph D ris­ coll w as m ortally and D etective M at­ thew Zim m er seriously wounded. This check w as so dem oralizing to the po­ lice th a t the bandits escaped. They w alked east to Tolleston, Iud., w here they encountered a Pennsylvaula gra­ ve! train. Charles Coffey, firem an, and L. J. Svetu bralceman, w ere in th e cab of the engine. D raw ing th eir w eapons the bandits covered the pair and ordered the firem an to take them to Liverpool, Ind., three miles d ista n t Svea, the brakem an, attem pted to seize Koeski’s revolver. Roeski shot ln’m dead and pushed the body off the engine beside the track. T he engine w as then uncoupled and Roeski threw the sw itch to the m ain line. Coffey carried the bandits to Liverpool, w here they jum ped off and started in th e di­ rection of the Indiana swam ps. Instead of continuing on to th e sw am ps the desperadoes doubled back tow ard w here they seized the engine. In the sand hills w ithin 100 yards of th e spot w here th e brakem an w as killed four farm ers spied them . These farm ers w ere out rabbit hunting and w ere arm ed w ith shotguns. They heard the shot w hich ended Svea’s life and w ere present w hen he breathed his last. W hen they discovered the trio dodg­ ing about the sand hills they concluded they w ere the men who had m urdered Svea. Charles H am ilton. W. H . Hemp, J. Jones and F red M iller w ere th e men w ith the shotguns. They advanced on the m urderers and shouted “W e w ant yon to surrender.” F or answ er cam e a volley of bullets, w histling close to their beads. The hunters dropped fiat in th e snow and taking aim fired. They hit all three of the fugitives. They poured in a second volley of shot and again proved their m arksm anship. “W e give it up!” shouted one of the bandits, bolding up his arm s. The hunters advanced and took them into custody. The three boys w ere w anted by the police for com plicity in the m urders a t the car barus of th e Chi­ cago City R ailw ay Company, on Au­ gust 30, w hen tw o m en w ere killed, a third badly wounded and $2250 stolen from the company.

Chicago, Special—P eter N iederm eier, one of th e m em bers of th e quartet of young bandits who for th e la st six m onths have terrorized Chicago, in an- other confession has added several m ore crim es to the long list already charged against him and his com pan­ ions V an Dine, M arx and Roeski. W ith parental love upperm ost in his mind, N eiderm eier offered to tell Chief of Po­ lice O’Neil! of a score of train hold-ups burglaries and other crim es th a t he has com m itted, if the rew ards offered will only be given to his m other. “I w ant to know th a t m y m other will be cared for after I am ‘hung’ ”, said the 21-year-old boy who is now the self-confessed m urderer of five men. “I am guilty of crim es of which you kuow nothing and for w hich innocent men are now suffering. There are rew ards offered for m y capture and conviction. If you w ill guarantee th a t the^e re­ w ards w ill go to m y m other I w ill con­ vict myself. I w ill confess crim es th at w ill startle you.” In order to m ake his w ord good N eiderm eier told of a few crim es which he claim ed to have com m itted. H e out­ lined them in such a m anner as only one concerned in them could do. N el derm eier refused, how ever, to divulge the nam es of his partners in the crimes referred to, pending proof th a t his m other would get the rew ard. W hen N eiderm eier w ent back to his cell it w as w ith the assurance th a t his m other would be bettered $500 finan­ cially. T he police have been so appalled by N eiderm eier’s confessions th a t they hardly give credence to all his asser­ tions. It is thought th a t his anxiety over his m other’s w elfare has prom pt­ ed him to m ake him self th e author of crim es he did not com mit. T he police say there w ill be m ore ar­ rests.

A/ashington, D. 0 ,— T he report of F ourth A ssistant Postm aster-G eneral Bristow on th e postal investigation, given out, shows th a t in 1893 a great conspiracy to loot the G overnm ent w as started in th e Postofflce D epartm ent. It shows th a t th a t conspiracy spread into division after division, until whole­ sale robbery of the people becam e a regular arid recognized feature of the letting of contracts. A ttached to th e report of F ourth As­ sistant Postm aster-G eneral B ristow w as a m em orandum w ritten by P resident Roosevelt, In w hich the P resident stated th a t he approved of Mr. B ris­ tow ’s findings and in w hich he declared th a t the prosecution of those officials found guilty of corruption m ust be pushed w ith th e Utmost Vigor. T erhaps the m ost am azing feature of G eneral B ristow ’s report is the disclos­ ure th a t w hile th e G overnm ent w as de­ frauded out Of m illions on a single deal, the aggregate am ount received by all the Official conspirators com bined did not am ount to over $300,000 or $400,- 000. In other w ords, th e public money w as throw n aw ay in so reckless a fash­ ion th a t the robbers them selves did not get m ore th an a sm all percentage of the golden stream . A striking illustration of this is the fact, cited by Mr, B ristow , th a t H arri­ son J, B arrett received only $3000 from the A rnold T urf Investm ent scheme, “y et th a t com pany defrauded the peo­ ple out of over $3,000,000.” T he P resident expresses ho opinion as to th e guilt or innocence of P erry 8.

T he P resident expresses reg ret th a t the Statute of lim itations expires a t th e expiration of throe years from the tim e of the w rongdoing of officials, and urges th a t th e tim e lim it be extended to a t least five years, as recom m ended by th e A ttorney-G eneral. One som ew hat surprising feature of the P resident’s m em orandum is his accusation against G eneral Tyner! who, w as sum m arily rem oved from Ihe office of A ttorney for th e Postoffice D e­ partm ent aud w ho the public has here­ tofore believed w as th e victim of dis­ honest and designing subordinates. The President, however, says Tyner w as know ingly and w ilfully corrupt. H e prom ises to use every endeavor to convict th e indicted men, and in clos­ ing his .m em orandum uses this phrase: “The toleration of the w rong, riot the exposure of the w rong, is th e real of­ fense.” The so-called.

Hio Some Sfovel Beasons For Opposing; Frea Trade aud Bcciprocity in Competitive Froducts Are Cited toy Mr, O. S. Harmon In the American Economist. Scriptural grounds for opposing free trade and reciprocity in com petitive products are cited by Mr. u . S: H ar­ mon, of Brooklyn, in a letter to the A m erican Econom ist. W ith th e first text, “H e th a t provideth not for- his ow n,” etc., protectionists are fam iliar, and in it they find am ple w arran t for the economic faith th a t is in them . T he second citation brought forw ard by Mr. H arm on is not so trite, b u t it ad­ m irably enforces th e point th a t spe­ cial trade dickers are both u nfair and im m oral. In D euteronouy1 chapter 25, verses 13, 14, 15, w e are told th a t am ong th e specific injunctions and com m ands w hich M oses laid upon the people of Israel by divine authority w ere the following: Thou sh alt not have in th y bag di­ vers w eights, a great arid a sm all. Thoit sh alt not have in thine house divers m easures, a great and a sm all. B u t thou shalt have a perfect and ju st w eight; a perfect-and ju s t m eas­ ure shalt thou have, th a t th y days may­ be lengthened in th e land w hich the Lord thy God give-a thee. T his is th e first law laid dow n for the-governm ent of trad e and com­ merce. F or over six thousand years th e business of th e w orld has been transacted under th e law delivered by th e Lord unto M eses in th e taber­ nacle and by M oses delivered unto the Israelites. I t is th e law of honesty, of fair dealing, of equal treatm en t of one an d all. U nder this law th e U nited States cannot give overw eight to F rance an d Cuba and underw eight to G reat B ritain and G erm any. AU m nst be treated alike. R eciprocity in com peting products violates this law . I t contem plates th a t certain favored countries m ay, by reason of special tariff preferences, sell i th eir products for a higher price in th e U nited States than th e price for w hich sim ilar prod­ ucts m ay be sold by other countries.

H e says: It. appears th a t in Decem ber, 1902, P ostm aster G eneral Payne and Con­ gressm an E. F . Loud, chairm an of tbe com m ittee on tb e postoffice and post­ roads, held various consultations re­ garding tb e postal service, and, as a result of these interview s, it w as de­ term ined that, a3 soon as possible after tbe necessary appropriations could be made by tb e Congress, an investigation 3bould be m ade of tb e service, both Messrs. P ayne and Loud agreeing as to tb e need for th e investigation and tbe tim e w hen it should take place. Ac­ cordingly, an increase of $5,000 in tb e ippropriation bill reported in January was m ade for th e express purpose of carrying on tbe investigation in ques­ tion. T he reasons for tb e increase in tbe appropriations w ere know n only to the P ostm aster General, to Congress­ man Loud and to C ongressm an Brom - well. Subsequently, som etim e in January, Inform ation w as laid before m e by Mr. Seckendorff tending to show im proper conduct by Beavers, general superin­ tendent of the division of salaries and allowances, and M achen, general su­ perintendent of tb e free delivery sys­ tem, and by M r. W illiam A llen W hite, tending to show corruption by o r under Tyner, A ssistant A ttorney G eneral for she Postofflce D epartm ent. F irst As­ sistant P ostm aster G eneral W ynne also Informed m e th a t be bad become sus­ picious of th e integrity of both M achen m d Beavers, A ssistant P ostm aster General Bristov/ should m ake a thor­ ough and exhaustive investigation of die charges in question and of all m at­ ters th a t m ight be developed in con­ nection w ith them . Mr. B ristow ’s re­ port is a record of as thorough a b it of .nvestigating w ork as has ever been lone under the governm ent. Owing to :he im portance of th e case, it w as Ieem ed advisable th a t special counsel should be em ployed, and M essrs. Charles J. B onaparte and H olm es Con­ rad w ere chosen for this purpose. Messrs. B B naparte and oCnrad, in th eir Messrs. B onaparte and Conrad, in their review of th e report of Mr. Bristow , speak as follows: lW e heartily com m end th e report and deem its conclusions fully justifi­ ed by th e facts it sets forth, and, w hile regretting, in com mon w ith all patri­ stic, citizens; t? a t the grave abuses of long-standing w hich it reveals should have grow n up in th e Postoffice De­ partm ent, we consider the exposure of these abuses and th e attem pts m ade to punish those responsible for them a work of th e highest public utility, quickly and ably perform ed.” In .all that is thus said of th e report of S r. Bristow , I cordially agree. “T he invetigation of Mr. B ristow dis­ closes a condition of gross corruption In the office of th e F irst A ssistant Postm aster G eneral and in th a t of the A ssitant A ttorney G eneral for the Postoffice D epartm ent. In the case of the superintendent of free delivery, Machen, th e evidence shows th a t his aisconduct began im m ediately after his appointm ent in Septem ber, 1893. In the case of th e general superintendent » salaries and allow ances, rieaveiis, it egan son after he w as appointed to th at place in 1897. In th e case of As­ sistant A ttorney G eneral Tyner, it has jone on for a num ber of years, bu t it .3 im possible to say exactly when it began. A m elancholy feature of the case is th a t, w ith one exception, all the offenders have been for a num ber of years in the governm ent service. (H ere ;ollows a list of th e 14 postoffice em­ ployes in th e service a t the tim e this nvestigation w as begun, who are ap- jarently m ost seriously im plicated in he w rong-doing, together w ith an ac- oiint of th e steps th a t have been iken by the* governm ent in each cas/t md a statem ent of th e dale of origi­ nal appointm ent of each m an in the -ervice.) T he details of the corruption are set forth in full in Mr. B ristow ’s report, m d need no t be recapitulated by me. As regards M essrs. Beavers and Mach- fin, tbe corruption, took th e form oi bribery and blackm ail in connection with th e purchase of governm ent sup­ plies. In th e office of the A ssistant A t­ torney G eneral for th e Postofflce De­ partm ent, under T yner and B arrett, far greater w rong w as indicted upon th t public th an could be m easured by a pecuniary standard, for in this offict he corruption of the governm ent offi­ cials took th e form of favoring get ich-quick concerns and sim ilar swind *ng schem es; in other words, th e crim ­ inals, whom it was the sw orn dutj >f these governm ent officials to prose Mite, paid them for perm ission ti Xeece th e public unm olested. I heartily approve of the recommen lations of M essrs. Conrad and Bona ^arle th a t th e statute of lim itations b xtended In the case of govem m ec ervants to a period of a t least >fiv /ears; for th e persons who in such po , -itidas of tru st engage in corrupt prac •ices can ordinarily conceal their gall. or a longer tim e th an is covered b; he present short statu te of Iim itationt rh*s recom m endation has been laid be ore the Congress In th e rep o rt of th A ttorney General, and it is earnestly hoped th a t it w ill be acted upon fa. vorably. M oreover, our experience shows th a t outsiders claim ing political influence som e tim es sell G ieir in­ fluence to candidates for office, or, in other w ords, blackm ail these candi­ dates. T here should be legislation which w ill perm it of sum m ary dealing w ith such offenders. However, th e prim e need is n o t new 'egislation, but the punishm ent of hose, who offend existing law s. The 7Ostoffice D epartm ent is m aking cer­ tain changes In the m ethods of adm in­ istration, notably in th e m ethod of in­ spection, by w hich th e service w itt be im proved and th e chance of corruption existing w ithout discovery be m inim i­ zed; bu t th e only w ay to .meet th e real evil is to punish th e offenders, by re­ m oval in any event, and w here pos­ sible by prosecution under th e crim inal statutes. In any great business, public or private, w rong-doing is certain at tim es to occur. The w ay to guard against it is rigorously to scrutinize the character of those appointed, carefully to supervise th eir actions after ap­ pointm ent and, finally, to punish w ith relentless severity those who go wrong. AU th is is being done. The im m ediate reform ation of the service by th e turning out of the cases against both those w ithin and those w ithout th e Postoffice D epartm ent, who, by th eir acts, have brought them ­ selves w ithin th e grasp of th e law, w ill be pushed w ith the utm ost vigor. E very effort m ust be m ade to see th a t both th e delinquent official and th e out­ sider who shares his guilt a re punished to th e lim it of th e law. In pursuance of this policy the individuals above enum erated have been indicted. In no case has th e indictm ent been sought, save w here th e officials of th e govern­ m ent were convinced of the m an’s guilt and in every case th e governm ent w ill exhaust every expedient in its power in the effort to see th a t justice is m eted out to th e offenders. Those in th e pub­ lic service w hose duty it is m ust ever be vigilant in th e detection of w rong­ doing, fearless in its exposure, relent­ less in its prosecution; but, in the last resort, w hen everything w hich th e pub­ lic official, w hether legislator, judge or executive officer, can do has been done, it rem ains for th e Jury, draw n from th e people and representing th e people to do even-handed Justice, shielding the innocent, bu t declining to be m is­ led by any plea refraining from punish­ m ent of th e guilty. No crim e calls for sterner reproba­ tion th an the crim e of th e corruptionist in public life, and of th e m an who seeks to corrupt him . T he bribe-giver and the bribe-taker are equally guilty. Both alike sin against the prim ary law of th e State’s safety. AU questions of difference in party policy sink in to in­ significance w hen the people of this country are brought face to face w ith a question like this, w hich lies a t the root of honest and decent governm ent. On this question, and on all others like it, we can afford to have no division am ong good citizens. In the la st re­ sort, good law s and good adm inistration alike m ust rest upon th e broad basis of sound public opinion. A dull public conscience, an easy-going acquiescence in corruption, infallibly m eans debase­ m ent, in th e end m eans th e ruin of our institutions. Self-governm ent becomes a farce if th e representatives of th e people corrupt others or are them selves corrupted. Freedom is not a gift which w ill ta rry long in the hands of th e dishonest or of those so foolish or so incom petent as to tolerate dishonesty in th eir public servants. TJnder our system , all pow er com es from th e peo­ ple, and all punishm ent rests ultim ate­ ly w ith th e people. T he toleration of the wrong, no t tbe exposure of th e wrong, is th e real offense. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. T H E DUTCH SEA W ALL. Rem arkable Engineering Plan to Keep Back the Ocean. The backbone of this trem endous en­ gineering project is the great sea. dike, w hich is to perform th e all-im portant function of shutting out th e N orth Sea—keeping th e ancient enemy- a t a safe distance. T his once accom plished, all th a t rem ains is sim ple. Probably th e D utch are th e only hydraulic en­ gineers in th e w orld who would calm­ ly propose to w all off a storm y, angry sea, sw ept by g rea t tides and lofty tidal w aves, from an inner body of w ater m easuring tw enty-five m iles across. T he D utch no t only propose it, b u t they know ju st how they are going to do it; they have counted every cubic foot of tim ber, ever? pound of stone, every willow tw ig, every day’s labor th a t will be required. They know w hat they are about. They even have estim ated eraetly how long the w ork will take. This, th e g reatest of all .sea em bank­ m ents in th e w ide world, this m odern and beautifully useful Chinese wall, will extend from th e m ainland of N orth H oIiand a short distance across a shallow strait to th e island of W ier- ingen, thence across th e Zuyed Zee to th e coast of F riesland. T he total length of this “afsluit dijk” is 24.8 m iles. M assive it -must be, firm as a rock, to w ithstand th e attacks of the storm s w hich w ill b eat against it from th e N orth Sea, to resist th e pres­ sure of th e ice w hich in w inter w ill drive w ith terrible force upon its ram ­ parts. D espite th e fact th a t there are h ere no rock foundations, and th a t the whole structure m ust be planted upon th e sandy bottom , th e D utch have no fear. AU th eir lives they have been struggling w ith ju st such unprom ising m aterials.. N othing b u t w alls of sand now protect m ost of H olland from the inroads of th e ocean. Sand m akes a good bulw ark, and also a good foun­ dation, if you know how to use it, and there is no trick in this trad e th a t th e D utch engineers had no t m astered generations ago.—W alter W ellm an, in M cClure’s.

Chief Justice P1Uller and ■ Justices B rew er and Peckham dissented.

It also prohibits contrac­ tors from requiring laborers engaged upon w ork for th e S tate to perform m ore th a n eight hours Cf labor In a day. The opinion w as based upon th e theory th a t all th e m unicipalities of a S tate are th e creatures of th e S tate; th a t w ork for them is of a public char­ acter, and does n o t infringe upon the personal liberty of any one.

Miss Muriel Annitagef 36 Greenwood Ave., Detroit, Mich., District Organizer of the .Royal Templars of Temperance, in a recent letter, says: “I think that a woman naturally shrinks from making her troubles pub­lic, but restored health has meant so much to me that I feel for the sake of other suffering women it is my duty to tell what Peruna has done for me. “I suffered for five years with uterine irregularities, which brought on hysteria and made me a physical wreck. I tried doctors from the different schools of medicine, but without any perceptible change in my condition. In my despair I called on an old nurse, who advised me to try Feruna, and promised good re­sults if I would VCrSist and take it regu­larly. I thought this, was the least I could do, am; nrocured a bottle. I knew as soon as I began taking it tnat it was affecting me differently from anything I had. used before, and so I kept on tak­ing it. I kept this up for six months, and steadily gained strength and health, and when I had used fifteen bottles I considered myself entirely cured. I am a grateful, happy woman to-day.”—Miss Muriel Armitage. Peruna cures catarrh of the pelvic or­gans with the same surety as it cures catarrh of the head. Peruna has be­come renowned as a positivh cure for female ailments, simply because the ail­ments are mostly due to catarrh. Ca­tarrh is the cause of the trouble. Pe- vnna cures the catarrh. The symptoms disappear. Female Weakness is Gatarrh, Pelvic A'wavs Half Sick Are the Wcmen Who Have Pelvic Catarrh. Catarrh of any organ, if allowed to pro­gress, will affect the whole body. Catarrh without nervousness is very rare, bat pel­vic catarrh and nervousness go hand in hand.What is so distressing a sight as a poor, half-sick, nervous woman, suffering from the many almost unbearable symptoms of pelvic catarrh? She does not consider her­ self ill enough to go to bed, but she is far from being able to do her work without the greatest exhaustion. This is a very common sight, and is almost always due to pelvic catarrh.It is worse man foolish for so many women .to suffer year after year with a dis­ease that can be permanently cured.Peruna cures catarrh permanently. It cures old chronic cases as well as a slight •attack, the only difference being in the length of time that it should be taken to effect a cure.If you do not derive prompt and satisfac­tory results from the use of Peruna1 write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full state­ment of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.Address Dr. Hartman, President, of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.

[The color of the skin is one ot the differences, and possibly the white man is the meanest of the two. for he has had better ad van ;es, and belongs to the superior race. There is no difference in the guilt, both should receive the same sentence on the rock pile.] Through an oversight the Vir­ ginia Democrats in Buckingham county elected a negro as overseer of the poor.

At­ tention was called to the negro’s nomination by the Democrats, by the Washington Post a week before the election and it is too late now to call it an ‘•oversight.” The datyof the overseer of the posr is to look after the whites as well as blacks and is an i.nportant office in Virginia. —Ciiatham Citizen.

The tax payers of Alamance county are paying at least twenty per cent, more taxes this year than they did last year. Are they that much richer? This thing of the democrats of North Carolina wanting to nomi nate Grover Cleveland looks migh­ ty strange when we think of how they talked about him six or seven years ago. It is well to remember that the era of souphonses came to and end when McKinley and a Republican congress were elected and protec­ tion restored to its proper place in the policy of the nation. ~ The army officers who are urg­ ing the re-establishment of the army canteen are on the wrong trail.

Sassestlons Touchias Upon Our Public Policy—T he Departments— The Isthmian Canal and Treaty With Panama—Other Hatters. Introduction. To the Senate and House of Represen­ tatives: . The country is to be congratulated on the am ount of substantial achieve­ m ent w hich has m arked th e past year both as regards our foreign and as re­ gards our domestic policy. Corporations. W ith a nation as w ith a m an the m ost im portant things are those of the household, and therefore the country is especially to he congratulated on w hat has been accomplished in the di­ rection of providing for the exercise of supervision over the great corporations and com binations of corporations en­ gaged in interstate commerce. The Congress has created the D epartm ent of Commerce and Labor, including the B ureau of Corporations, w ith for the first tim e authority to secure proper publicity of such proceedings of these great corporations as the public has th e right to know. It has provided for th e expediting of suits for the enforce­ m ent of the Federal anti-trust law; and by another law it has secured equal treatm ent to all producers in the trans­ portation of their goods, thus taking a long stride forw ard in m aking effective the work of the Interstate Commerce Commission. D epartm ent of Commerce and Labor. The establishm ent of the D epartm ent of Commerce and Labor, w ith the Bureau of Corporations thereunder, m arks a real advance in the direction of doing all th at Is possible for the so­ lution of the questions vitally affecting capitalists and wage-workers. The act creating the D epartm ent was approved on February 14, 1803, and tw o days later the head of the D epartm ent was nom inated and confirmed by the Sen. ate. Since then the work of organisa­ tion has been pushed as rapidly as the initial appropriations perm itted, and w ith due regard to thoroughness nnd th e broad purposes which the Depart­ m ent is designed to serve. A fter the transfer of the . various bureaus and branches to the D epartm ent a t the be­ ginning of the current fiscal year, as provided for in the act, the personnel comprised 1,280 employees in W ashing­ ton and 8,836 in the country a t large. The scope of the D epartm ent’s duty, and authority embraces the commercial and industrial interests of the Nation. It is not designed to restrict or control th e fullest liberty of legitim ate busi­ ness action, but to secure exact and au­ thentic inform ation w hich will aid the Executive in enforcing existing laws, and which will enable the Congress to enact additional legislation, if any should be found necessary, in order to prevent the few from obtaining privi­ leges a t the expense of dim inished op­ portunities for the many. Capital and Labor. The consistent policy of the N ational Government, so far as it has the power is to hold in check the unscrupulous m an, w hether em ployer or employee; but to refuse to w eaken individual ini­ tiative or to ham per or cram p the in­ dustrial developm ent of the country. W e recognize th a t this is an era of fed­ eration and com bination, in which great capitalistic corporations and la­ bor unions have become factors of tre­ mendous im portance in all industrial centers. H earty recognition is given the far-reaching, beneficent w ork which has been accomplished through both corporations and unions, and the line as between different corporations, as be­ tw een unions, is draw n as it is between different individuals; th a t is, it is draw n on conduct, the effort being to treat both organized capital and or­ ganized labor alike; asking nothing save that the interest of each shall be brought into harm ony w ith the interact of the general public, and th a t the con­ duct of each shall conform to the fun­ dam ental rules of obedience to law, of individual freedom, and of justice and fair dealing tow ards all. W henever either corporation, labor union or in­ dividual disregards the law or acts in a spirit of arbitrary and tyrannous inter­ ference w ith the rights of others, w hether corporations or individuals, then .where the Federal Government has jurisdiction, it will see to it th a t th e m isconduct is stopped, paying not the, slightest heed to the position or poVer of th e corporation, the union or the individual, but only to one vital fact—th a t is, th e question w hether o r not the conduct of th e individual or aggregate of individuals is m accord­ ance w ith the law of the land. Eveiy m an m ust be guaranteed" his liberty and his right to do as he likes w ith his property or his labor;-so. long as be •does n o t infringe th e rights of others. N o m an is above the law and no m an is below it; nor do we ask an y m an’s ^permission when we require him to obey it. Obedience to th e law is de­ m anded as a right; not asked as a fav- or. W crhave cause , as a nation to be thankful for the steps th a t have been so successfully taken to put these prin­ ciples into effect The progress has been by evolution, not by revolution.' N othing radical has been done; the ac­ tion has been both m oderate and reso- . lute. Therefore the work w ill stand. There shall be no backw ard step. • Needs of Financial Situation. • T he integrity of our currency , is be­ yond question, and under present con­ ditions it would be unwise and unne­ cessary to .attem pt a reconstruction of our. entire m onetary system . The sam e liberty should be granted the Secretary of the Treasury to deposit custom s re­ ceipts as is granted him in- the deposit of receipts.from other sources.

Need For T reaties M aking Bribery Ex­ traditable. Steps have been taken by the State D epartm ent looking to the m aking of bribery an extraditable offense with foreign powers. The need of m ore ef­ fective treaties covering this criine is m anifest The exposures and prosecu­ tions of official corruption in S t Louis, Mo., and other cities and States have resulted in a num ber of givers and takers of bribes becoming fugi­ tives in foreign lands. Bribery has not been included in extradition treaties heretofore, as th e necessity for it has not arisen. W hile there m ay have been as much official corruption in form er years, there has been m ore developed and brought to light in the im m ediate past than in the preceding century of our country’s history. It should be the policy of th e United States to leave no place on earth w here a corrupt m an fleeing from this country can rest in peace. There is no reason why bribery should not be included in all treaties as extraditable. A laskan Boundary. The A laskan boundry dispute has been one of long standing. The Presi­ dent congratulates the country on its am icable settlem ent, and incidentally rem arks upon the great developm ent of this valuable area of our possession^. The President calls attention at length to the settlem ent of claim s against Venezuela held by Great B ritain, Germ any and Italy, and re­ m arks upon the im portant p art played by our governm ent Jn the ju st settle­ m ent of the same. H e rem arks upon the grow ing sentim ent of the nations favoring peaceable settlem ents in such cases'. International A rbitration. Last year the Interparliam entary Union for International A rbitration m et a t Vienna, six hundred m em bers of the different legislatures of civilized countries attending. It w as provided th a t the next m eeting should be in 1904 a t SL Louis, subject to our Con­ gress extending an invitation. Like the Hague Tribunal, this Interparliam en­ tary TTnion is one of the forces tending tow ards peace, am ong th e nations of the earth, and it is entitled to our sup­ port. I tru st the invitation can be ex­ tended. Rural Free Delivery. The rural free-delivery service has been steadily extended. T he attention of the Congress is asked to the ques­ tion of th e com pensation of th e letter carriers and clerks engaged in the pos- < ta l service, especially on the new rural' free-delivery routes. More routes have been installed since the first of July last than In any like period in the De­ partm ent. W hile a due regard to econ­ omy m ust be kept in mind In the es­ tablishm ent of new routes, yet the ex­ tension of the rural free-delivery sys­ tem m ust be continued, for reasons of sound public policy. N o governm ental m ovem ent of recent years has resulted in greater im m ediate benefit to the people of the country districts. R ural free delivery, taken in connection w ith the telephone, the bicycle, and the trol­ ley, accomplishes much tow ard lessen­ ing the isolation of farm life and m ak­ ing it brighter and m ore attractive. Louisiana Purchase Exposition,* I tru st th a t the Congress w ill con­ tinue to favor in all proper w ays the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. This Exposition com mem orates the Louisi­ ana purchase, w hich w as the first great step in th e expansion which m ade us a continental nation. The expedition of Lewis and Clark across the continent followed thereon, and m arked the be­ ginning of the process of exploration and colonization which th ru st our na­ tional boundaries to the Pacific. The acquisition of the Oregon country, in­ cluding the present States of Oregon and W ashington, was a fact of im­ m ense im portance in our history; first giving us our place on the Pacific sea­ board, and m aking ready the w ay for our ascendency in the com merce of the greatest of the oceans. The centennial of our establishm ent upon the w estern coast by the expedition of Lewis and Clark is to be celebrated a t Portland, Oregon, by an exposition in the sum ­ m er of 1905, and this event should re­ ceive recognition and support from the N ational Government. Cotton W eevil. The cotton-grow ing States have re­ cently been invaded by a weevil th a t has done m uch dam age and threatens the entire cotton industry. I suggest to the Congress the prom pt enactm ent of such rem edial legislation as its judg­ m ent m ay approve. Indian Affairs. The Indian agents should not be de­ pendent for their appointm ent or ten­ ure of office- upon considerations of partisan politics; the practice of ap­ pointing, when possible, ex-arm y offi­ cers or bonded superintendents to the vacancies th a t occur is w orking well,. A ttention is invited td th e wide­ spread illiteracy due to lack of public schools in the Indian T erritory. Prom pt heed should be paid to the need of ^education for th e children in this Territory. Safety-AppIiance Law. In the m atter of the safety-appliance law much* good has already been ac­ com plished. The law should be vigor­ ously enforced. Pensions. . No other class o't' our citizens de­ serves so.w ell of th e N ation as those to whom- the N ation owes its very be­ ing, the veterans of the-civil war. Spe­ cial attention is asked to th e excellent w ork of th e Fenrion Bureau in'expend­ ing ,and disposing of pension claims. D uring the fiscal year ending puly I, 1903, the Bureau settled 251,982 claim s, an average of 825 claim s for each work­ ing day of the year. The num ber of set­ tlem ent: since July 1, 1903, has been in excess of last year’s average, approach­ ing 1 ,0 0 0 claim s for each w orking day, and it is believed th a t ^he w ork of the Bureau will be current-A t. the close of the present fiscal year. - Civil Service Extension. D uring the-year ended June 30 -last 2»,506 persons" were appointed through com petitive exam inations under the civil-servlce rules. This was 12 72 m ore than during th e preceding year- and 40 per . cent of those who passed the .ex­ am ination. This abnorm al grow th was largely occasioned by the extension of classification td the rural free-delfvery service and th e appointm ent last year of .over-9,000 rural carriers,- A revision of.'the. ciyilrservice rules took effect on A pril .1.5 /last, w hich- has greatly - Iin- ; proyed-their operation: The com pletion Qf thb reform of: the civil service is rec- pgnizedhy: good.citizens everywhere as a m atter o f the highest public im port &9C5, epd the success oi the merit eys^ tem largely depends uppn the. effee-. ‘tiveness of th e rules and th e m achin­ ery provided for their enforcem ent. A very gratifying, spirit of friendly co­ operation exists in ail th e D epartm ents of th e G overnm ent in the enforcem ent and uniform observance of . both the letter and spirit of the civil-service act. Executive orders of July 3,1902; M arch 26, 1903, and July 8, 1903, require th a t appointm ents of all unclassified labor­ ers, both in the D epartm ents a t "Wash­ ington and In the field service, shall be m ade w ith the • assistance of the U nited States Civil Service Commis­ sion, under a system of- registration to test the relative fitness of applicants for appointm ent or em ploym ent. This system is com petitive, and is open to all citizens of the U nited States quali­ fied in respect to age, physical ability, m oral character, industry, and adapT tability for m anual labor; except th a t in case of veterans of th e civil w ar the elem ent of age is om itted. -.

The receipts of the Government have been in excess of the expenditures for the year, and a safe balance is on th e right side. Public Land Laws. Our public land law s need revision sadly. A great deal of fraud has crept into their- adm inistration, and scandals are common. It is urged th a t they be thoroughly revised. Isthm ian Canal. By th e act of June 28,1902, th e Con­ gress authorized th e President to en­ te r into treaty w ith Colom bia for the building of th e canal across the Isthm us of P anam a; it being provided th a t In th e event of failure to secure such treaty after th e lapse of a rea­ sonable tim e, recourse should be had to building a canal through N icaragua. It has not been necessary to consider this alternative, as I am enabled to lay before th e Senate a treaty provid­ ing for the building of th e canal across the Isthm us of Panam a. This w as th e route w hich com m ended itself to the deliberate judgm ent of the Congress, and w e can now acquire by treaty the right to construct th e canal over this ioute. T he question now, therefore, is not by w hich route th e Isthm ian canal shall be built, for th a t question has been definitely and irrevocably de­ cided. The question is sim ply w hether or no t-w e shall have an Isthm ian canal. ' i Provisions of Treaty. By .th e provisions .of -th e treaty th e U nited S tates guarantees and will faintaiii th e independence of the Re­ public of Panam a. T here is granted to th e U nited S tates in perpetuity th e use, occupation and control of a strip te n m iles w ide and extending three nautical m iles into th e sea a t either term inal, w ith all lands lying outsido of th e zone necessary for th e con­ struction of th e canal or for its aux­ iliary w orks, and w ith th e islands in th e Bay of Panam a. T he cities of P an­ am a and Colon are not em braced in th e canal zone, but the U nited S tates assum es th eir sanitation and, in case of need, th e m aintenance of order w ithin th e granted lim its all the rights, pow er, and authority w hich it would possess w ere it th e sover­ eign of th e territo ry to th e exclusion of th e exercise of sovereign rights by th e Republic. AU railw ay and canal property rights belonging to Panam a and needed for th e canal pass to th e U nited States,, including any proper­ ty of th e respective com panies in the cities of P anam a and Colon; the w orks, property, and personnel of the canal and railw ays are exem pted from taxation as w ell in th e cities of P anam a and Colon as in the canal zone and its dependencies. F ree im ­ m igration of th e personnel and im por­ tation of supplies for th e construction and operation of th e canal are grant­ ed. Provision is m ade fo r^ h e use of m ilitary force and the building of for­ tifications by the-.U nited S tates for th e protection of th e tran sit. In other details, particularly as to th e acquisi­ tion of th e interests of th e New Pan­ am a C anal Company and th e Panam a Railw ay by th e U nited S tates and th e condem nation of private property for th e uses of th e canal, th e stipulations of th e H ay-H erran treaty are closely followed, w hile the com pensation to be given for these enlarged grants re­ m ains th e sam e, being ten m illions of dollars payable on exchange of rat- fications; and, beginning nine years from Uiat date, *an annual paym ent of $250,000 during th e life of Uie conven­ tion. .

In the correspondence called forth by M r. C ham berlain's desire for inform a­ tion as to th e effects of A m erican.ta r­ iffs upon B ritish industrial prosperity a striking object lesson is afforded. Mr. J. B urnell W ells, director of one of the g reat hosiery concerns of N ottingham , tells how com pletely th a t trade has been overthrow n by being sh u t out of th e great consum ing m arket of the U nited States, and how it has suffered in other foreign m arkets from th e com­ petition of protected G erm any. In 1888 N ottingham sold to th e U nited States about $1,500,000 w orth of hosiery, and in 18S9 and 1900 fully as m uch oil the average. In 1892, after the M cKinley tariff had been in. operation for a year, the sales dropped off fully fifty per cent.; in 1893 they fell to about $800,- 000; in 1894, after one year of Cleve­ land hard tim es, and w ith the M cKin­ ley tariff still in force, th e total sales had been reduced to about $380,000, In 1895, under th e helpful inhueuce of the W ilson-Gorm an tariff. N ottinglnim succeeded in selling us hosiery of the value of about $520,000; in 1890 (Wil- son-Gorm an tariff), $750,000, and In 1897 (W ilson-Gorm an tariff), about $740,000. Now m ark w hat followed. W hen the D ingley tariff had restored protection to the A m erican hosiery industry, Not­ tingham could sell us In 1898 no m ore than about $190,000 w orth, and ever since th a t tim e our purchases have av­ eraged scarcely m ore than one-fifth w h a t they w ere prior to the adoption of the M cKinley tariff in 1891. W orse still, th e im petus w hich th e Dingley tariff gave to A m erican production so cheapened some of th e ibw er grades' th a t A m erican hosiery w as, and still is being exported to England! G erm any, operating under a protective tariff, has invaded th e B ritish m arket even m ore successfully by reason of her low er w age scale, and the N ottingham hosiery m akers find them selves driven out of th e very m arket in w hich they live! In a w ord, free trade a t hom e and protection in th e U nited States and G erm any have killed w h at w as once a great and flourishing B ritish industry, A lm ost every know n branch of indus­ try in th e ’U nited K ingdom has suffered greatly from th e sam e cause, th e blight of free-trade. M r. Cham berlain is try­ ing to obtain facts to support his plan of saving B ritish in d u sti/ through the adoption of some form of protection. Judged by-tlie results in th e N otting­ ham hosiery trade he is In a fair w ay to succeed. E xactly so.

It is said that history repeats at St. Matthews next itself, and that'there is an evolu­ tion in the. life Oi every nation. Before the war the rich white folks and their negro slaves used to call the poor white people “the pool white trash.’’ A poor white man then was looked upon with as much contempt in dome sections of this State as a negro who votes the Republican ticket is now. After 1908 we may expect a return to similar conditions that existed iu this State before the war. The vhiteaud black democrats will be sure to apply some derisive title to the poor white boys who will be disfranchised, such as “de po’h white trash whats can’t vote'’ etc. Say, white man, don’t your blood tingle at the though ts of the unhap py conditions in store for our good old state? Do you think poor boys who will thus be deprived of their political privilege in the laud of their birth will remain in the state and add to its wealth aud pay taxes to support a party in power that has destroyed their rights as freemen. Though depri­ ved of an education they will be full of that God-given intellect, abounding in only the white race and they will scorn to remain in the state, if the Democrats are continued in power.—Chatham Citizen.

A lew months ago, at a meeting of the board of aldermen, the li­ cense on butchers was taken off, the object of the action being to reduce the price of pounds of beef, each, from the wagons, the fainers of the country to sell their product in the city, The butchers made no objection at the time; but for the past few weeks a few citizens of the eountry have sold several thousand of pounds of beef, each, from wagons coming to the city al­ most every day. Tht formers sell their beef at from 7 to 10 ceuts per pound, few of them charging more than the latter figures for the best tender- Ioiu and othe choice steaks or roasts. Tbe butchers sell tbeir product for almost twice these priues, and, as a result, a large number of people patronize the wagons. Tnis has hurt the butch­ ers to such an extent that they are making an effort to have the lieeuse put back. They will probably petition the board of alderman at the meeting Monday night to re- irapose the license There are several of the aldermen, however, who are opposed to the license, and want the competition to keep the prices down.—Charlotte Obser er.

Tne Corporation Commission will consider the depot question at Hickory this week. The penitentiary, it is said, will have a balance of $109,000 by the end of the year. The State Auditor says he had a balance on right side of iedge Nov. 30th of $120,438. He also says of the educational fund, balance on hand $30,107. This will never do to get that much more from taxpayers than needed. The next legislature will be called upon to iucrease offices to keep all this surplus from waste. - -Times Murcery.

Now we wculd like to know why the state authorities have labored so hard, insisted on raising the assessment on the property in the state if they had a surplus on hand!

Thos. J. Jarvis is spending a hale old- age in the practice of his chosen profession, the la v, Noman liv­ ing has lived more closely to our people thau he; nor has any man loved them more warmly or been more faithful to them. Last week he was in Raleigh, a guest of Governor Aycock, The editor of the Recorder was fortu­ nate enough to obtain an interview with him. “Our people” said he, “ are no longer disposed to sit down and let things go on. They are restless ready to take a hand; this is au evidence of our progress in educa­ tion. There is a new sense abroad of individual self-confidence.” ‘But there is one thing that distresses and puzzles me. It is the extreme sensitiveness that we have aorked up on the race ques­ tion. if a fool negro does a fool thing, we all charge it against the entire race, put it in the papers and have a dreadful ti ue about it. And if a whice man happens to say7 a too, thing, we make it into a great matter and are ready to fly at one another’s throats about it! Now wcere is the sense in this! “ It is distressing. It is injurious You cannot make progress in such a state of mind. Your churches can do nothing and your schools less under such circumstances.” “ Have our papers nothing to write about except the negroes; Have we nothiug to do but talk and tuss and solve problems! “ Why, from ’76 to ’96 we ha- no such sensitiveness. There was peace between the races. But non since we have eliminated the negro from politics, we seem to be dis­ posed to throw away the fruits oi that great work. VVe are foolish­ ly doing ourselves great harm. VYi are like a drunken people. It will be far better for us if we diop these matters, Theyare not iin portant; and we put ourselves in a Iiad light by making so much of them. Let us think about other things, and let the fools alone Lei us thin < on the things that mako for peace and prosperity. We asked the ex-Goveruor for permission to print these remaiks in hope that they will appeal to the senses of our sober readers and bring a out somewhat of a calm “ Why certainly,” said he: “I have said to you what I would say to a thousand people in North Caroiiua if I had them before me. Let us have peace and do work.” These be sensible words, and fall upon deaf ears, for the old Governor and his kind in North Caiolina have been iegelated to the rear, and one can reau between the lines, the rebnke to the Sim­ mons, Aycock, Josephus Daniels crew which now mans the ship, headed for the rocks and shoals.

H e prom ised faithfully to return th e m oney a t a stated hour and th e prom ise w as as faithfully kept. Mr. Sage had very little.to Bay w hen he gave up th e ten, and quite as little w hen he got it back. A w eek or ten days later th e young m an cam e to see him again, and this tim e asked him for a hundred dollars, m aking all sorts of representations of w hat he would do w ith it. Mr. Sage refused to ante. T he young m an was surprised, not to say pained. “W hy,” he exclaim ed, “you know I’ll pay it all right. D idn’t I say I’d have th a t ten for you on M onday, an d w asn’t I th ere to th e m inute w ith it?” Mr. Sage beam ed ’ softly on th e grandson of Ms old friend. “My boy,” he said, w ith no trace of unkiudness in his tone, “you dis­ appointed me once and I don’t w ant you to do it again.” “I beg your pardon, I did not,” argued th e youth. “I said I would pay you back, and I did.” “Yes, yes, my boy,” purred Mr. Sage, “you paid back th e ten, and I UCV7P r expected you would. Now, if I let you have a hundred I should ex­ pect you to pay it back, and you wouldn’t. One disappointm ent a t my tim e of life is enough, m y boy. Good m orning.”—Collier’s W eekly.

I t hardly seem s possible th a t th e party w ill m ake th e tariff re­ form plank again serve .as the bulw ark of its hopes, b u t th e D em ocratic party has been know n to do even stranger things. T he fac t is th a t th e A m erican tariff has becom e a greater and a broader thing th an a m ere party ques­ tion. I t is a p a rt of tbe faith of th e people. A nd th ere is evidence th a t even free trade England w ill not for m any years longer rem ain as an exam ple of th e greatness to w hich a nation m ay attain, com m ercially, w ith protective tariffs. T he creed w hich P resident Roosevelt, a t M inneapolis, published to the w orld is th e A m erican creed: “T he general tariff policy, to w hich, w ithout regard to changes in detail, I believe this country is irrevocably com m itted, is fundam entally based upon am ple recognition of tile differences betw een th e cost of production—th a t is the cost of labor—here and abroad, and of th e need to see to it th a t our law s shall in no event afford advantage in oar ow n m arket to foreign industries over A m erican industries, to foreign capital over A m erican capital, to for­ eign labor over our ow n labor.

They are seriouslyldisputed 'and strenuously denied by a very large num ber of the industrial producers of th e U nited States—agricultural producers for th e m ost part. ^Iany. thousands of A m er­ ican farm ers jengaged in grow ing sugar cane, sugar peets, citrus fruits, pine­ apples, early; vegetables and tobacco, together witlji m any additional thous­ ands identifies w ith tobacco and sugar m anufacture^ stand ready to tell th e P resident of th e U nited States th a t he is gravely • m istaken w hen he asserts th a t through fthe com petition of cheap­ er lands, m ore fertile soil, and -lower priced labor ’’not an A m erican interest is sacrificed,;* and th a t “it writ do harm to no industry.” Those w ho will tell th e P resident th a t his statem ents conflict with: facts are th e farm ers, w ho know exactly w h at the facts are. • A lready th e P resident has been in­ form ed th a t if th e C uban reciprocity treaty shall be consum m ated th e elec­ toral vote of a great R epublican S tate m ay a t once be placed in th e Demo­ cratic colum n for 1904.

W . S. SCHLEY.- -Washington, D. C, A DMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the fore­ most notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century. A name that starts terror in the heart of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerve,clear head, undaunted courage and prompt decision. Approached by a friend recently, his opin­ ion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. It appeared on later conver­ sation that Peruna has been used in his fam­ ily, where it is a favorite remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other rea­ son for giving his endorsement to Peruna than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says it is. The fact is that Peruna has overcome all op- Ask Your Druggist for free Pe-ru-na Almanac for 1904. position and has won its way to the hearts of the people. The natural timidity which so many people have felt about giving endorse­ ments to any remedy is giving way. Grati­ tude and a desire to help others has inspired thousands’of people to give public testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would not have consented to such publicity. Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so many men of national and international reputation have been will­ ing to give unqualified and public endorse­ ments to a proprietary remedy. No amount of advertising could have accomplished such a result. Peruna has won on its own merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or location in the human body. That is why it receives so many notable and unique endorse­ ments. Address The Peruni Drug MTg Co., Co­ lumbus, Ohio, for free literature on catarrh. A d rift.

Jt is a germ disease, and makes a di ect attack upon the nerves, putting an extra strain Unon them at the time theirvital- itv is at the ioweft ebb. If J aGrippe has leftyou vv f i a shatterednervous system, with loss o£ appetite, lack of energy, ins mnia, frequent heartaches and morbid tendencies, you should strengthen the weakened nerves with iir. Miles' Nervine. It will undo alJ that grip has done, bring back appetite, rest and restore the nerves to their normal activity. “I want to write this testimonial for the benefit of those vrho have suffered from that dreaded disease—LaGrippe.

In the C harlotte police court a few mornings ago, John Sm ith, colored, alias Pug Bailey, was charged with a deadly assault on W ill Frazier and with robbing Frazier of a jug of whis­ key. F razier is from Rock H ill, and his visit to Charlotte was for th e ex­ press PUirPose of getting th a t gallon of whiskey. H e bought it a t an up-tow n saloon and was in route to the South­ ern depot when Bailey seized’ the jug and gruffly told him to let go. Tlie South C arolina negro had no lnten- . tion of going home em pty-handed and he resisted until Bailey stabbed him on the shoulder w ith a knife. Bailey then secured the liquor and departed in haste,.b u t was later arrested by the police. The recorder thought the of­ fence a grievous one and bound the de­ fendant over to the superior court, sending him to jajil in default of a bond of $200. W hile opening a sm all box Saturday R, U.

D?ROTHY‘JAHE no one else, and began to feel tbe re­ sponsibility which bad been thnut upon her of being little Jennie’s whole Christmas. finally, however she spied a little pipk candy dog, and be told her that he, too, was there for Jennie. The nest morning Mrs. Beed peeped Into the room in time to see Jennie lump around In an ecstacy of Joy, with Dorothy Jane clasped close to her breast and the pint candy dog In her hand. _ j The affection df the child for Dorothy Jane grew from day to day, until the neighbors talkeij about It. Wberevet Jennie went Dorothy Jane was with her. Bright Eyes, on the other hand, had a hard time of l i When she arrived at the house she found that there were many other presents costlier than her­ self, and, moreover, a little old rabbet doll was the favorite of her mistress. All her visions of coming out into fashionable society faded away before a week had passed. She never went out of doors, but lay tucked away in a closet. One “day Jip, a little fos terrier, mistook her for something else. Before he was through the bloom was gone from her cheeks and her hair and one arm were chewed off. So the next day Bright Eyes was just look­ ing over the top of tbe ash barrel In the basement nreawny when Jennie fieed, with Dorothy Jane in her arms, rang the basement bell. She had come to get the washing. Bright Eyes rec­ ognized Dorothy at once and called out with all her : former haughtiness crushed and brpken: “Oh, you dear old rag baby; yop were right after all.” Then Jennie wept away, and the dolls never met again;—New York Mail and Express. ;i B RIGHT EYES and Dorothy M Janc met for the first time on Christmas Eve. They were being hurried over the city streets in a deliv­ ery wagou, and their inti­ mate association with each other in a big wicker basket naturally led to a conversation. They were dolls—Doro­ thy Jane a big rag baby, homely and poorly dressed; Bright Eyes a finely clothed young lady, whose bright tints of cheek and hair were the work of French artists. Dorothy Jane was go­ ing to meet a “little mother” in au East Side tenement house on the morrow, and Bright Eyes was on her way to the big brownstone house on the West Side, there to open and close her eyes and say “Mamma” to the only daughter of a rich merchant. Bright Eyes did not deign to notice poor Dorothy when she remarked that the noisy animals in the Noah’s ark, at the other end of the box, were worse than those in the Zoo, and rather rude­ ly crowded the poor little rag baby in the corner as she turned away in dis­ gust. At the next corner the driver removed the ark, with its noisy ani­ mals, and there was more room in the basket. Dorothy lifted her head and put her painted face close to the ear of Bright Eyes and whispered: “You are prettier than I am, I know; but can’t wg be friends, anyway? I never talked to a foreigner before. AVe had some dolls from China In our department stvernl weeks ago, but I couldn’t un­ derstand what they said. How do you shut your eyes that way when you lie down? How nice it is.” Bright Eyes sat up and looked at the flat little painted face of Dorothy Jane with evident amusement. “You don’t pretend to call yourself the little girl where you are going will love you?” Driglit Eyes moved uneasily in the box and was slow to answer. Finally she said: “I don’t know whether she will love me or not. I don’t care. I am pretty and they will show me to everybody. I like the idea of moving in high society, and won’t worry about their loving me.” Dorothy Jane knew nothing about, society, and did not fully understand Bright Eyes’ idea of life. All she could think about was Jennie Reed, and whether or not they would be happy together. “Get that big French doll out, Bill,” said the driverd to his assistant, as the wagon suddenly stopped. It startled Dorothy Jane, as she had about made up her mind to tell Bright Eyes that she had missed en­ tirely the object of life when she made love secondary. AU she had time to say, as she put an unshapely rag hand in one of Bright Eyes’, was, “Make A Tall Christmas Tree. K.

I don’t see what pleasure you can find in existence.” “I believe that I am happier than you are to-night,” said Dorothy Jane, but her lip quivered. “Why?” asked Bright Eyes. “Don’t you know that I am going to live in one of the finest houjes in the city, and be shown to members of the T ” “What' do you mean by. the ‘400?’ queried Dorothy Jane. “You poor, neglected, uneducated lit­ tle. thing,” said Bright Eyes. “Tell me, where are you going, any way?” iT am going to little Jennie Beed, whose mother does washing for a liv­ ing. I am so anxious to see her, be­ cause her mother, when she bought me, toid the clerk that Jennie had not been very well since her papa died, and she hoped that I would cheer her up on Christmas Day. If Jennie is like her mother I am going to love her.” Bright Eyes was laughing by this time, and interrupted to say, “You must be a missionary rag baby then. How funny!” i “That’s what I am,” cried Dorothy, “and unless Jennie expects too much of a rag baby, I believe that I will ranks lw happjv Po you think ti$ t ■ that little girl love you.” But Bright Eyes tossed her head scornfully as Bill ran with her up the brownstone steps. If you ever get up into high society call on me,” were her parting words. Bill complained bitterly to the driver about being overworked after he had handed Dorothy Jane over to Mrs. Beed, on the fifth floor of the East Side tenement house.
