A nice crowd indeed to talk about debt, bankruptcy and bonds, when every time they have had the State government under their control they exhausted the treasury by voting the money to themselves in per diem, etc., stole the money, for which some of them aie now serving terms in the penitentiary —sent there by the Democrats— and otlie 'wise bringing disgrace on the State. You Iiad better not stir that question for your sake.— Davie Times. The above is in line with the Democratic deception attempted to bo palmed off on the people. The last legislature controlled by the Bepnblicaus adjourned in March 1S97 and in 1890 the Demo cratic legislature appointed a com mittee to examine the books of the Bepiiblicati State officers aud Dr. B. F. Dixou the present State Auditor was one of that -.ommittee and it is said that every appropria tion made by the Bepublican legislature of 1S97 had been paid and that there was in the State Treasury on the 30th day ol November JSflS $185,279.91. A pretty good surplus Mr. Times yet you say to the contrary. Kow as to the amount of about @16,000 stolen by Martin a clerk to treas urer Worth, the editor of the Times knows that the' State did not lose one cent of this money, Mr. Worth paid ever;,- eent of it back to the State and Auditor Dixon’s repoit shows it. More Democratic ignorance, oy deception. Yes, Martin, this Republican clerk is serving a term in the peniten tiary for stealing this money, but nil tre editor of the Times tell us what Mr. Aycock is doiug about ! the 926,655.38 stolen by the Deiuo- THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Mendenhall the father of Lnren D. was an ex cellent teacher aud educational worker aud is today a highly re spected Methodist minister. Luren when a mere boy entered a cotton mill where he worked con- -tiu&pously for several years with tb^ exception of a few months each year in which he found time to at tend the public schools and one school year at Trinity College. This constitutes Mr. Mendenhall's literary education, but this has been vastly suplimented by a koowledge of men and things which he has learneil in the school of experience, which has found in him a ready and apt pupil. He is today a Sunday school superintendent, a . high toned Cliristian gentleman, whose char acter is without a blemish. Iu early young manhood he took a lively interest in politics and as a ready debater he had few super iors, and never allowed an oppor tunity pass to defend the cause of Republicanism. At the age of 25 lie entered the employ of a Bichmond Va., whole sale drug house ,is traveling sales man and continued- for several years in their employ. But dur ing all these jears he never iorgot the duty he owed his party and Iontid lime lu ever/ campaign to give it valuable service and in so doiug several times met in joint debate some of the biggest guns of Democracy in the state without be- iug worsted. About two years ago he was ap pointed postmaster at Baudteman, Baudolph couuty, which he still holds, but if the voters of this dis trict consult their bestinterest he will not lougretnaiu a postmaster but will be their representative in the next Congress. P. Will some astute Democrat fell I whj the Simmons—Aycock machine has sent out between 15- OO and 2000 new registration books requiring the registrars to trans cribe the names of all voters from the old books to the new? Why this extra expense to the tax pay ers! Is it a deep laid scheme to practice a IitUe rascality? Be- publicans should look after these gentlemen with eyes wide open. A THOUGHTFUL MAN, M. M. Austin of Winchester, Ind., knew what to do in the hour of need., His wife had such an unusual case of stomach and liver trouble, physicians could not help her. IIe thought of .and tried Dr. King’s New Life Pills and she got relief at once aud was finally cured. Only 25c, at 0. C. San ford’s drug siore. Notice to PablLc School Teachers.

V. : I? ill HI Il SW ,I i : \ if wmsis Rcraemeber that Thu Recokd is only 50 cents a-year ^92 ^ The government of the Incas is said to have been the most enlightened des- notism that ever existed and about the nearest approach to a Utopia ivhich has yet been reached by any people, says the Scientific American. There was allotted to eich man free of charge a dwelling site and an extend ed area of land for him to till and cultivate for the maintenance of his Iamily. The surplus of products from this tract, left over from the imme diate needs of the owner, was given as a tribute to the Inca government, »nd used for religious, charitable and pthor purposes at their sovereign city af Cuzco. Under their wise and just civic administration, crime and public corruption and theft were not ltnown. in Cuzco it is stated that a resident with 100 bare of silver and gold piled up in his house, left it wide open, only placing a small stielc across the door as a sign that the master was out— and nobody went in. Agriculture was a chief pursuit followed. Cotton, beans, maize and cocoa jvere raised by the coast people. On the plateau the domestication of the llama and al paca. was the favorite occupation. The whole tribe was divided into numerous clans. The powers of ad ministration centered in the elective dignitaries, a military leader and the head of the religious system. There was also a council ofchiefs. None of these offices was hereditary and could not be occupied by sons unless they were - especially chosen for the posi tion. The succession of the chief Tnea did not fall upon the shoulders Cf his child. This was due to the clan organ ization, which governed the affairs ol state. A man could not marry a wom an of his own clan, but had to select one from another. This was the main unit for holding the tribe together. Wbman had no choice in public af fairs, but ruled supreme In the home. She w as adm itted to esoteric societies, of which there were many. They alsfi practiced healing and became priest esses. Many complicated and elabor ate .ceremonial and religious rites were observed and feasts and offer ings of some kind were of almost daily occurrence, and the preparation for the observance of these occupied a great deal of the time of the people. Contrary to statem ents hitherto made, the sun was not the chief object of worship, but the moon, stars, thunder, lightning and natural objects and phe nomena vtere included in the religious code. In Cuzco Bbine forty different shrines existed. W hat height Inca culture might have reached had it been allowed to follow a natural course of develop ment is one of conjecture and specula tion. Judging from their cyclopean architectural remains and from the splendid examples of their technique, which is so strikingly displayed In the specimens obtained, it seems most likely that they Would have kept abreast of the ancient Mexicans. Monooiesit to a Lie A correspondent of tbe Straits Budget of the Straits Settlement says: “While other nations build monu ments to the memory of men who have done great and noble deeds, the ByaliR heap up a pile of the branches of trees iu memor3T of the man who has uttered a great lie, so that future generations may Know of his wicked ness and take warning from it “Tko persons deceived start the tugong bula by lieapiug tip a large number 01 branches in some conspicu ous sgot by the side of tlic main road. Every passerby contributes to It and a t the same time curses the man in memory of whom it is. “The Dyaks consider the adding to any tugong bula they may pass a sacred duly, the omission of which will meet with supernatural punish ment, and so, however pressed for . time a Dyak m aj be, he stops to throw on the pile some branches or twigs. “This custom dates from very an cient times. It is interesting to no tice that though the ethics of the Dyaks, even at the present day, do not agree In many points with the moral code of other and more ad vanced races, still from the earliest ages the Dyaks seem to have agreed in considering a lie a most disgrace ful crime, and a liar a man who de serves the curses not only of his own generation, but also of people yet un born. “A few small branches, a few dry twigs and leaves—that is what the tugong bula is at first." But day by day it increases in size. Every passer by adds something to it> and ih h few years’ time it becomes a large and imposing moUumfent raised to the memory of one who was a liar. “It has often been remarked by Dyaks that any other punishment would, if a man had his choice, be much preferred to having a tugong bula put up in his memory. O ther pun ishments are soon forgotten, but a tugong remains as a testimony to 3 man’s nntruthfulness for succeeding generations to witness, and is d standing disgrace to his children’s children. “Believing, as the Dyaks do, in the efficacy of curses—a curse among them being a finable offense—it is easy to understand how a Dyak would dread the accumulation of curses which would necessarily accompany the formation of a tugong bula.** * In a Russian Village A traveler In Russia writes: “The outward aspect ol a Russian village is not attractive, and there is little choice in the surrounding country be tween a wide gray plain with a dis tance of scrubby pine forest, or the scrubby pine forest with distant gray plains. The peasants’ houses are scat tered up and down without any order or arrangement, and with no roads between, built of trunks of trees, un squared and mortised into each other at the coraers, the interstices- filled with moss and mud, a mode of build ing wanner than it sounds. In the in terior there is always an enormous brick stove, five or six feet high, on which and on the floor the whole fam ily sleep In their rags. The heat and the stench are frightful. No one un dresses, washing is unknown and sheepskin pelisses with the wool in side are not conducive to cleanliness. “Russian stoves are, in fact, thick, hollow party walls, built of brick, and sometimes separating or connecting as mauy as three or four rooms, and heating them all from one common center. The outer sides of these lofty intram ural furnaces are usually faced with a kind W white porcelain, though in some houses they are papered Uke the rest of the wall) bo that the pres ence of the stove is known .n summei only by two or three apertures like port holes, which have been made foi Uie purpose of admitting the hot air. Sometimes, especially in country houses, .the stove, or peitchka as it- ie called, is not only a wall, but a wall wnich, toward the bottom, projects Sc as to form a kind of dresser or sofa, and which the lazier of the inmates use not infrequently in the latte: capacity,. “W hen a stove is being heated th« portholes are kept carefully shut, tc prevent the egress of carbonic-acid gas. But after the wood has become thoroughly charred and every vestfge of flame has disappeared the chimhfey is closed on a level with the garret floor, the covers are removed from the apertures in the side of the stove and the hot air is allowed to penetrate freely into the room; which, if enough wood, has been put into the peitchka, and the lid of the chimney closes her metically, will, by this one fire, be k e p t. warm for twelve or fourteen hours."

Tbh letter of acceptance of Hon. Henry Q. Davis, candidate for vice- president on the Democratic ticket, has been made public, and is in substance as follows: Hon. John Sharp W illiams, Chairman, and Other Members of the Commit tee. Dear Sirs; In accordance With cus tom, and my promise when notified. Iiy our committee a t .W hite,. Sulfiftnr Springs, on Atigubt iT; Sf my nomina tion fdr tha Olfice of Vice President, I submit the following observations upon some of the questions now before the country. TIMES PROPITIOUS FOR A CHANGE. The tmies are propitious for the re instatement of the Democratic party id control of the. government, The public mind Is being disillusioned Of the pre tension of the Repuoiicdn . fiahty, so long had so artoganil.v made, thdt the material proSpehty of the country de pends upon , its . byte ascendancy. Thoughtful and patriotic people are be coming more and more distrustful of the heady and p cim/uai Wiv ment of the present administration, and are more than willing to. see it replaced by one that better recognizes constitutional and other lawful restraints. They de mand that the present wasteful exttaw* agance in the expenditure... Sf thfe mohey, drawfi by taxation from the in dustry of the people, shall cease, and that economy and honesty in the public service shall be again regarded as vir tues in the high places of the govern ment. EXPENSES GE GOVERNMENT, The expenditures per capita of Gte government, arB JftertaHBft ik AS. Mat M- ihg vatb. W hen the present administra tion went into power there was a large surplus, but notwithstanding the enor mous taxation, the revenues therefrom are not now adequate to meet the de mands made by . reckless. Sfipfdpriai tions. The revenues ffeii. Siidpt ,diiriog the last fiscai year, of over $40,000,OtiOi Iji the first sixty days of this fiscal year the expenditures exceeded the receipts by $24,000,000, and if this rate of- excess should continue, the deficit for the pres ent fiscal year would be in the neigh borhood of $140,000,000. This needless deficit is due to the extravagance of the administration, and can only be met by imposing taxes or selling bonds, there by increasing the interest-bearing debt of the government, Wftleii Cbursft will the Rfeptiblcatts adopt? The cost of gov ernment during the fiscai year Was $7.14 per capita, which meads .,that the average tax priid Ih somfi Wrifi oft another by every family of fiVe persdns toward the support of the national ad ministration of public affairs was over $25, which, in the case of wage-earners, is a considerable percentage of their earnings for the year. No more money should be taken from the people by taxation, direct or Indirect, than is nec essary for the needs of a government economically administered, To show the rapid growth of the cost of govern ment it is only necessary to give the total expenditures in the last fiscai year of the following administrations: Buchanan, 1860, $63,000,000. Per cap ita, $2.01. Cleveland, 1892, $345,000,000. Per cap ita, $5.29. Roosevelt, 1904, $582,000,000. Per cap ita, $7.14. THE ARMY: in answer to criticisms upon the size and expense of m aintaining the army, the President has said that the number of soldiers now is no greater per capita than in former times. But an army then was necessary to protect settlers from the Indians and to do other police duty in the unsettled portion Of thB country—conditions which do not now exist. The army, however, has greatly increased in cost, much faster relatively than it has In numbers. The expenses were: Under Buchanan in 1860___$16,500,000 Under H ayes'in 1880 ............... 38,0001000 Under Roosevelt in 1904....115,000.000 There are strong paragraphs on the Panama question, Imperialism, the Tariff, Trusts, etc. On the m atter of local .self-government, Mr. Davis says: Local self-government, that came to Bs not as the gift of the national gov- cnrment, but as the legitimate Outcome ot the reserve powers of the State and of the people, is the very corner-stone ol our political structure and the best assurance of liberty regulated by law. It can only be maintained by strict observance of the limitation of the Fed eral constitution. The Democratic party has always resisted, and wiii contfn -e to resist, the encroachment by its ene mies upon tbe fundamental right of the people of the several States. All power comes from the people and should be surrendered only In the interests of the people, and whenever this power is used for selfish interests, it is not only abuse, but usurpation. On the race issue Mr. Davis writes as follows: AU lovers of their country m ust de preciate the rehabilitation by the Re publican-party of a disappearing race issue, at a tim e when every effort should be mode to promote rather than retard the progress which was being made in the States where slavery had existed, toward kindlier relations be tween the »wo races. The revival of this Issue, with all its attendant evils, must Cf necessity retard the development ot the Southern States, whose people are struggling manfully w ith conditions left by the war, and seriously inter fere w ith the industrial progress of both races. JUDGE PARKER. The late Democratic convention, and its candidate for President,, have given signal exhibition of a mutual Tespect and confidence almost unprecedented in our political history, and our party has received new inspiration and hope in its appeal to the people, who al ways appreciate and admire courage, Character and discretion in their lead ers. Our candidate has these qualities and can. be depended upon a t all'tim es to observe that self-control in speech and action, which is so necessary to safe reasoning and sound judgment. W ith unabated trust in the efficiency, of the cardinal principles of our great party, when applied to the practical ad ministration of government, to realize the blessings, of peace and prosperity for all, and believing that Uie people will correct the present abuses of ad m inistration by a change of party In power, I await w ith confidence the re sult o t their judgment at the polls. . - • - Very truly yours, H.

Discussing the general situation, one of the Govern m ent officials, familiar w ith the grain situation, lately expressed some inter esting views as to the future distribu tion of w heat production, and the prob able place that Canada will hold In the future w heat m arkets qt the world. In bis opinion—and he has given a good deal of study to the subject—the next quarter of a century or less will see a very extensive rearrangement of the existing distribution of wheat produc tion among the nations. Repeal of Savings Tax. The New York State Association of Savings Banks is working to secure the repeal by the next Legislature of the franchise tax on'savings banks.

The insufficiency of foodstuffs for cattle and horses has caused anxiety in agricultural and commercial circles. Oor Esport Trade.

A London dispatch to the At lanta Constitution says that there are in Eugland today «10,000 men out of employment. They are not Voluntary idlers, but men who would like to work and cannot find occupation whereby they may earu an honest liviug.—Lynchburg News. That sho vs us what free trade is doing for the working men of England, In the United States the unemployed are those demand- ng an iucrease of pay. Labor is scarce iu this country and wages good. Bead below what the Salis bury Sun says about labor condi tions in Kowan county. Our Democratic friends say the tariff is robbery, and want to place us in the same boat wish old England. The country got enough of Demo-- cracy under Grover Cleveland. Conditions are such that the peo ple do not want a change. -Demo cratic campaign wailers are bark ing up the wrong'tree this year. NElittOES CONVEYED TO COTTON FIELDS. As an illustration of the scarcity ot labor in this section one farmer whose cotton field is white and who fears damage to his staple from rain is conveying a party of Salisbury negro men and women to his farm every morning and bringing them back in the even ing.—Misbury Sun. • Louisa, Va., Sept. 14.—Tiiecase against Mrs V. C. Baxter, her sis ter, Mrs. Baurne, and a colored boy, who was arrested with Mrs. Baxter, appealed from the decision of the justice in Jackson district, Louisa county, came up before the Lonisa Cinmit Court today*, Judge Grimsley presiding. Theevidence showed that Mrs. Baxter,, white endeavoring to close a road across her place whieh had been opened by J. D. Gibson to draw trade to his store, was arrested on a war rant sworn out by said Gibson on a charge of blocking the public road. Mrs. Baxter iefused to accom pany the officer, stating to him that she would not go with him,, but would go with the sheriff. Constable IV. P. Cocke nnder- touk.to setve the warrant. . KKRtOl’SI.Y BRUKSKD. The evidence showed that Li the attempt to arrest her she was seri ously bruised by the officer: She claims he had struck her in the breast and shoved her over a fence and after choking her had left, her in an almost helpless condition in a cornfield, from- which she made her way to her home. Upon arriving there, she got in her bed without removing her clothes, when shortly after the offi cer having armed himself with a pistol, returned with several other men, one of whom was u negro, who the officer sent into the house to arrest Mis. Baxter. This the uegrodid by entering the room where Mis. Ikixter was and taking her from the bed. Sbe was taken Io Meredith’s store and there tried before the Justice’s Court anil fined §20 aud costs, from wnich she appealed. Whatever may be the public feeling against Mr. Cock at Louisa, he is held in the highest esteem by the people of this community, and while a brave and fearless officer, lie is a man with the gentl .-ness of a refined lady, and no one regrets anile than Mr. i ock that he was forced 11 call to his aid the help of « colored man to execute the law and maiutain the dignity ot the Commonwealth. His failure to exeenle law in this community would have been a far worse ealainpy than getting a negro to assist him in doing so, in the absence of more desirable help. The law has Iieen maintained aud Mr. Cock fully vindicated. The above is taken from the Tiuies-Dispatch the Ieadiug Demo cratic paper of Va. IVe want you to read it carefully, for it shows how inconsistent our Democratic frieuds are, Virginia is the mother if presidents, a lock ribbed Demo cratic state, the home of the F- F. Vs., the birth place of our ances tors, yet we find a Democratic con stable deputizing a negro to arrest a respectable white woman. This negro goes into the ladies bed room and takes her out in his arms, great is White Supremacy among Democrats. If a Hepublican officer had been guilty ot such a thing the indignant people no doubt would have lynched him. IVe thought when we read it that it was a Democratic officer, and to give our readers the truth outside of our opinion, below we give you a tetter to us from Mi. Win. E. Cunning ham of Lonisa county, Va., read it,—and don’t forget that Mr. Cock is a Democrat. Louisa, Vam Sept. 23, 1904. Mr. E, II. Morris, Dear Sir:— Yours of 21st at hand.

After getting through with the nominations, and right here we will relate a little incident that amused us, one delegation seemed determined to nominate one of the candidates' on the ' Re publican ticket, we suppose they wanted one of their nominees to be elected, but they spoiled their on ly hope in that direction.

On the whole, it- is not strange that thex Nexv York Democrats should start a Constitution .Club. They heed to do something for their constitutions. Mr. Bryan is not going to cam paign in New York. He has no desire to share the blaiue for ine vitable defeat of JudgeParker in that State. Democrats have been very slow in starting their campaign. The leaders have been ready for some time, but they all wanted to start in different directions. Democratic leaders are . now arguing io favor of reciprocity. The Gorman-Wilson tariff law made no provision for reciprocal trade treaties. That is a Republi can policy which the Democrats have adopted, late, as nsual. Judge Parker’s position on tariff legislation may be compared to that of a physician who says you are ill, but that he can not give you any medicine for at least four years. To be logical, the people who object to onr protection against foreign aggression-, ought to leave their doors unlocked every, night, and protest against having any policemen in cities. Henry G.

W A S LOVED, HONORED, RESPECTED The Imperishable Career of North; Carolina’s Most Distinguished PM, vate Citizen Closes at the 78th Mile- stone In His Life. Welilon, N. C.. Special.—Ex-Senator, Matt. W. Ransom. North. Caroluiasi foremost citizen, died suddenly Satur-, day morning at Iiis country home in Northampton county, near Garysburg, of heart failure.The end came shortly after I o clock and was the peaceful passing of a flame which had flickered but feebly for some months. It was his TSth birthday. Gen. M. W. Ransom was born on Oct. Sf 1826, in W arren county. He be-j came Attorney General for the State o? North Carolina in 1852, being only 2Gj years of age at the time, thus being the youngest man to hold this position in the history of tlie State. Byl reason of Gov. Vance being unable to qualify as Senator after his election, Gen. Han som became United States Senator in 1872, which position he held constantly; until 1S85, immediately after which he was appointed United States minister, to Mexico, in which capacity he served for two years. He was a member of the board of arbitration in the Vene zuelan troubles with Mexico. He leaves five sons and one daughter and a wife. He was probably the larg est landowner in the State, the acre-s age being variously estimated from 14,- OOO to 18,000, in fact, he recently re-: marked: ‘'There is only one person who knows how much land I own and' that Is myself.” The funeral will take place Monday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock and the inter ment will be made in the family bury ing ground. He will be buried with Masonic honors. The following is a brief life sketch of Ex-Senator Ransom: He was bom in W arren county, this State, In 1826, and is now, therefore, sixty-two years of age. .For more than half a Iife-Iime he has been a conspicu ous personage, and a man of recognized ability and pronounced influence in Korth Carolina. Shortly after his grad uation from the University, at Chapel Hill, in 1847, he was admitted to the bar, and five years later he was elected Attorney General of the State. Few; men have merited or won such success so early in life, and fewer have follow ed it with so continuous a public ser vice. In 1S55 he resigned the Attorney Generalship, aud was not again in of fice until the year 1858, when he was a Representative in the State Legisla ture. And again, in 1859 and 1860, he filled that position. He was sent as a peace commissioner from the State of North Carolina to the Congress of Southern States at Montgomeryr Ala., in 1861. On the breaking out of the Civil W ar he entered the Confederate army, and rose successively through the positions of lieutenant colonel, col onel and brigadier general to that of major general. In the last named rank he served until the close of the war, and surrendered with General Lee's army a t Appomattox. As a soldier General Ransom showed himself to be a courageous man and a brave and skillful officer, and he endeared himself greatly, by his humane management and courteous bearing, to the men of his eommand. Returning to his nativ.e State at the close of the war. General Ransom resumed the practice of the law, at the same time being engaged extensively as a planter, and it was not until the year 1372 that he again en tered public life. Then, for the first time, he was elected to the Senate of the United States, a position he has occupied continuously until the present time, having been re-elected in 1876 and In 1883. At the expiration of his present term, in March. 1889, he will have eighteen years in the highest of fice within the gift of the people of his own State, an honor of which he and the State may be proud. Senator Ran som was a man of marked ability and of broad culture. Though he has sel dom made set speeches in the Senate, yet his efforts were characterized by those qualities of conservative good sense, elegance of expression and grace of delivery that are peculiarly his own.

I T lS Many Newsy Items Gathered From ail Sections. Big Diamond Theft. Asheville, Special.—The residence, of John A. Stewart, a t 14 W est Chest nut street, was .entered Thursday night, ana $10,000 in diamonds stolen. Mr. Stew art came here from Switzer land about a year ago, leased his present residence and decided to m ake Asheville his home. H e is Quite wealthy and numbered among Ms possessions many valuable stones that he kept in a lock-box placed in a trunk and the trunk stored in a closet of the house. Just what tim e the robbery occur red is not known, as the first inti mation that the family had that the house had been burglarized was when one of the servants in entering the residence found everything in a de moralized condition and clothes and other articles scattered about the floors of the house. Mr. Stew art was informed of this state of affairs and investigation re vealed the fact that a burglary had occurred, and that a diamond brooch, necklace, ring and semi-crescent brooch had been stolen. One of the brooches was valued a t $5,000. The police departm ent was notified andthe robbery kept as quiet as possible un til the news leaked out and the state m ent was made of the occurence. It is the opinion of the police that the robbers were professionals and that they were reasonably sure that the jewels were in the house. It is said that skeleton keys were. used. The diamonds were insured. Blockade More Rigid* Chefoo, By Cable.—The increased ac tivity of the Japanese fleet blockading Port A rthur in the stopping of mer chantmen, is due to a lookout which is kept for three British ships, whldh, it is suspected, intend to.attem pt to en ter Port A rthur with tinned meats and vegetables.

She Took the Water Eleven Minnies Be fore the Official Time—No Mishaps Occurred— Mickey the Spousor. Seattle, W ash.—The battleship Ne braska tore loose from the cheeks that had restrained her and slid swiftly into the Water eleven minutes ahead of the time set for her launching. A. great multitude had assembled in the gayly decked shipyards of the Mo ran Brothers Company' to witness the plunge, 'which had been scheduled for 2.13 o’clock. The Nebraska is the first battleship constructed on the Pacific Coast north of Sau Francisco, ai'.d all the leading army and State officials in the- forts W est were on hand, iu addi tion to all Seattle aud sightseers from all over the State and far beyond its borders. Governor John H. Mickey, of Nebras ka, and his party were chatting on a staud erected near the ways. Attor ney-General Prout had finished an ora tion, and Congressman Humphreys was preparing to deliver one in turn. Miss Mary Main Mickey, the Govern or’s daughter, to whom had fallen the honor of naming Uncle Sam’s newest warship, was receiving instructions from the shipyard officials as to how she was to perform the ceremony. Workmen below were weakening the supports in preparation for the signal to release the steel-clad monster. Of a sudden the noise of saw' and hammer and the hum of the great ani mated crowd were dominated by an ominous cracking and snapping of tim bers. IVarning shouts rose from the workmen deep down in the network of the ways. The battleship began to move, gathering momentum as she went. “Whoa!” yelled the yard officials helplessly. A great roar went up from the crowd: “She’s off! She’s off!” Quick as a flash Miss Mickey grasped the beribboned champagne bottle, and, darting forward, hurled it against the hull, crying as she did so: “I name thee Nebraska! God speed thee for the honor of the Nation and of our dear State.” As the foaming wiue spattered over the steel a cheer, started* by the Gov ernor, was taken up by the other in vited guests, aud the immense crowd. H ats were flung into ttie air, flags and handkerchiefs wavpd and fluttered, and the bandsmen in attendance, having recovered from their surprise, grasped their instruments and joined in the ovation w ith the strains of “The Star- Spangled Banner.” The battleship glided calmly out onto the waters of Puget Sound with out a single mishap to dampen the en thusiasm evoked by her premature plunge. The battleship Nebraska has a dis placement of 15,000 tons; her length is 441 feet 3 inches; beam, 76 feet 2% inches; draught, 23 feet 9 inches; indi cated horse power; 19,000, aud speed, 19 knots.

In her secondary battery she carries fourteen 3-inch guns, twelve 3-pound» ers, sixteen small guns and four 21- inch torpedo tubes. She has two superposed turrets and two w aist turrets.

Dewey recently com- UnLed Sfatese^ 1lve SerT'Ce lL tlle The letter of Hon. Thomas E. W at son accepting the Populist nomination for the presidency is in substance as follows: • “To Hem. Samuel W. Williams, Chair man Committee on Notification: “W hat two great political parties have, in turn, governed a country, and have, between them, brought unsatis factory conditions, it is but a natural fact that a third party should arise. Citizens who have looked in vain to “the two great parties” for remedial legislation lose confidence in both after a while, and adopt one of two courses: They either submit to the evils of bad government, or protest by organizing a third party. “T e the student of history, there is nothing more saddening than the ten dency of the pe'ople to submit. As a rule, political education never reaches the masses. State-craft, like priest craft, jealously guards its secrets. There is always the inner sanctuary, which the people are taught to believe would be profaned by the touch of their unholy feet.” Mt. W atson then takes a fall out of the ruling classes in England, Ger many, Italy, Egypt and India, and con tinues: “How is it in our own land? God never made a grander home for his children than that which the Cavalier of Virginia, the Dutchman in New York, and the Puritan in Massachusetts sought as a refuge from the systems of the old world. In natural advantages this earth holds no reign superior to ours. Once it belonged to the people. W ith his gun, the common man won it mile by mile from the Indianr' the , Frenchman, the Saxon, and the Span- i iard. W hat the common man did not j win with his gun. he bought with his > money. From sea to sea, 1^ie land which j Is ours became ours because the com mon man was ready to pay for it with his tax money or bis blood. W hat has become of it? W ith bewil- ! dering rapidity, it has been taken from • the common people and given to the corporations. It belonged to the govern ment, to all the people. It was m eant to supply homes to individual citizens, and there was efcough of it to last for J many generations. To the extent of ! about 200,000,000 acres, it has been I given to railroad corporations; and ! now, when a common man wants a home in all that vast domain, he must go to the railroad corporations to get it.” THE GOLD STANDARD. “Once upon a tim e we had a finan cial system of our own. Placed in the constitution as part of our fundamental Iawrt it seemed to be firmly fixed. For a hundred years this money system was in operation among us. Therefore, it seemed to be ‘irrevocably fixed.’ Very wise men created this system of na tional finance. It was the one subject upon which Thomas Jefferson and Al exander Hamilton agreed. Those two were, perhaps, the greatest statesmen this country ever produced. So pre-em inent were they above all others, that they divided the people .into tw o . dis tinct schools of political thought. But," upon the vital subject of finance, these master-minds reached the same con clusion; and that conclusion became a part of the constitution; “To establish the single gold stan dard, which sets the constitution the statue had to he violated. The word coin* had to be constructed to mean ‘gold only;’ and the paper note, issued on silver, had to be redeemed in a man ner different from that prescribed by law. “There arc at least five reasons why the gold standard cannot, be consid ered as fixed: . “ (I) It is unconstitutional. ‘•(2) It violates statute Iawr. 1 “(3) The supply of gold m ight in crease beyond all the circulations of the* money power. Thus, the standard of value would get beyond their con trol. In that event, the money power itself would change the standard: ■“(4) The supply of gold m ight sud denly cease. In that event, contraction would at once set in, because the coun- IrvrS expansion in business, and in crease in population required a con stantly increasing illation of currency. If .the horrors of contraction should again come upon us by the selfish pol icy of the money power, the . people would compel a change in the standard: Wall street gave us the panic of 1373; Wall street gave us the panic of 189% l.et Wall street give' us another, andnt v-.i\y find that it has given us one too many. The American people Viavc about reached the lim it of endu rance. “We have heard much of ‘constitu tionalism’ in this campaign. The sin cerity of the crime is known by the fact that the gold standard, which violates »l\e statute law and the constitution, is Kor only ^tpported by Theodore Roose- >elt, the emperialist, but by Alton B. Parker, the chosen apostle of constitu tionalism. \ • ‘■(5) The gold standard is not ‘irrev- r fixed,1 because it is unscientific aad wrong. Nothing is m ore-certain JUan that the peopie of this country will continue their struggle until they have a national currency, which the i «o;iey power cannot control, and which answers the purpose of perfecting ex changes without becoming an armory, Irom which the bancaneers of modern ItMnnce draw the irresistible weapons with which they attack values and raid Ihc markets.- ‘One of the worst features of our nnaucbti.aygtefi in the farming out to ihe national bank of. the power, privi lege and profit of supplying the coiin- ii y w ith paper currency. « Instead of using its own credit for th e ‘equal ben efit of all the people, the government lends this credit to the national banker ro be used for the benefit of the banker. Thus, the national banker becomes tjie beneficiary of special privileges; and, basing his notes upon the credit of the government, charges his fellow citizens u*v the use of them. He, the privileged, fattens upon usury at the expense of •he unprivileged. There are now about live thousand national banks, which freep in circulation more than four hundred million dollars nf t**e’r no*es .-U SO cor cent, this represents a yearly profit of more than thirty million dol lars, which they derive from the spe cial privilege of using the public credit for their private benefit. Clothed with the sovereign power of creating what is practically a . legal tender currency, they can' contract it or expand it when ever they please; and, if they decide to give the country a taste of their des potic power, as in 1893, there is no power, which can protect the victim. No class of citizens should be clothed by law Witli such terrible advantages over their fellows.The question Of' transportation is discussed a t considerable length, as also the trust question. There is also a shajafitem ation „qf Roosevelt. ’ The Populist creed is giv en a t length, Mr. W atson claiming that it represents true Jeffersonian principles. In conclusion, Mr. W atson says: “The Peaple’s party favors the pub lic ownership of public utilities. Ia nearly every civilized country the government owns the railways, the telegraphs and the telephones. The last two should be a part of our post- ofilcei system, to which should be added the parcel post, to free our peo ple from the. extortionate charges of the express companies.- The People's party has always advocated the grad uated h it jme tax. This w ould-not only throw the support of th e ‘govern m ent upon the rich, .where it • should be, but would, in a .g re a t measure, prevent the accum ulation of huge, unnecessary and dangerous fortunes. W e favor the eight-hour law, and the abolition of child-labor in factories, where the unhealthy moral and phys ical conditions are alm ost certain to destroy the child. W e believe it to be a part of man’s natural liberty and equality to labor for him self and not for a m aster, and that the laws should be so framed that there should be no monopoly of the land for either the iiving or the dead. Recently we have heard the insidious voice - of those who tell us that m an is not bom free, but m ust earn his freedom. This .pernicious .and fa lse . statem ent comes from one of those millionaire colleges, w here opinions are censor ed, just as books are censored » by the. Carnegie libraries “Upon this subject Mr. Jefferson said that ‘the God who gave us life gave us liberty at the sam e time.’ He also announced as a principle that ‘the earth is given as a common stock for man to labor and live on. If for the encouragement of Indiistnp we al low it to be appropriated, we m ust take care th at other employment be provided to those excluded. from the, appropriation. If we do not, the fund am ental right to' labor the earth • re turns to the unemployed.” FIANL APPEAL. “To the courage and the intelli gence of the voter, I appeal. If you think I am right, vote th a t way, or you are a m oral coward. Do not fear that your vote will be ‘thrown away.’ Your vote is never throw n away un til it ceases to be the representative of your honest convictions.” WORLD’S FAIR.

State Committee is ITplteltl and the Na tional Iiepnblican Convention is Final ly Over-rnled—Head ot StalwartTicIEet XVlll Kesign — Senator Spooner Ex presses His Opinion of the Outcome. Madison, W is.--By a vote of three to one the Supreme Court of Wisconsin decided th at Governor Robert M. La Follette and his followers are entitled to be called “Republicans” on the offi- irjl ballots of the State a t the Novem ber election. In accordance with his decisiou, .an nounced some time ago, to w ithdraw if the_ decision w ent against him, S. A. Cook, Stalw art candidate for Governor, was expected to resign. He had a con ference here w ith Senator Spooner, but he said that he had not then decided wlielher or not to withdraw. It is known that he will and that ex-Gov- ernor Edward Scofield will be appoint- CdJiy tbe Stalw art State Central Com mittee to succeed him. The Stalwarts have decided to continue the campaign against La FoIlette w ith a third ticket Justices Dodge. W inslow and Mar shall supported the La Follette faction. Chief Justice Cassoday dissenting. Jus tice Siebeeker, the fifth member of the court, who is La Follette's brother-in- law, refused to sit in the case. The action was brought in equity by adherents of S. A. Cook, «the Stalw art nominee for Governor, and .was to re strain Secretary of State Houser from certifying to the County Clerks the names of the La Follette candidates as the regular Republicans. In answering the suit the Governor’s followers contended that the proceed ings of the convention which renom inated La Follettc were regular, that the convention was the only body with power to name candidates, and further th at the conrt had no jurisdiction in the matter. ' The opinion filed by Justice Marshall asserts the right of the court to con sider a controversy “of so grave a char acter and of such public importance,” and proceeds to base its decision on this section from the Wisconsin stat utes: “W hen .two or more conveni ions or caucuses shall be held and the nomina tions thereof certified, each claiming to be' the regular convention or caucus of the same political parly, preference in designation shall be given to the nom inations of the one certified by the committee which had been officially certified to be authorized to represent the party.”The decision then goes on to uphold the right of the State committee chosen a t the convention of 1902 to decide which of the two Republican conven tions of 1904 is regular. Milwaukee, W is.-Senator Spooner in a speech said that the Supreme Court did not decide the merits of the Repub lican case, but merely defined the pow er of the State Central Committee to decide disputes. Senator Quarles spoke a t Racine. He said that the Stalwarts are still the regular Republicans, and that the fight would go on. IiNOREVENTSOFTHEWEER WASHINGTON.' ■ . Thomas A.

I have no words of abuse for Theodore Roosevelt. I believe him to be a U rave, honest-, con scientious man. I give him full credit for having a splendid cour age of cOHviotion. How is it with the Democralio Co. L O W E R EX PO R T P S l DES Our Democratic friends appear to be worried over the fact that fiur manufacturers sometimes meet foreign cometitors on their own ground by cutting prices. There is no denying that this is some times done, and there is no apolo gy to offer for doing it. S^me times it is for one reason, some times for another. Here are a few giveu to the Industrial Commis sion. “Cash payments and large pur chases in tlie|foreign trade, where as the domestic trade ishaised on credits and small purchases. . ‘‘The drawback or rebate of the Tiriff on imported raw material of goods manufactured for export, •‘To overcome the rCariff of their countries. “ To. seenre new m a rk e ts. "T o hold a. m ark e t ag ain st new •om petitors. “To clear out surplus stock or to preveut a shutdown and increased cost of production, and keep mills running and men employed. ‘•To get rid of samples and out of date goods. ~v “Because the expense of-selling and advertising is less abroad than at- home." Absolutely no oue Is in ju re d , and many are benefited: F irs t the' w orkm an is benefited, because h e has more em ploym ent.

I can understand Iiow (he citizen can work for the Republican party and vote its tick et with enthusiastic zeal. If the Repnblicaii party represents his ideals of government, then he is justly proud of it, can justly con fide in it, for it has stood by its principles through Ktorm as well as sunshine; and no matter how bad yon and I may think its creed is, we are bound to admit that the Republican party has a creed, is willing to fight for it, is willing to cling to.it in defeat, and struggle for it until victory comes again. But why any human beiug should, in the year 1904, vote the national Democratic, ticket is something that surpasses my untutored com. prehension. Eila Walker. St..Louis.

The President’s letter to Secretary Metcalf follows: ••White House, W ashington, D. C., Oct- 12, 1904. “My Dear Sir: I have received the report of the Commission of the United States on the investigation of the Gen eral Slocum disaster and the report of the Department of Justice on October 12th, recipulating what has been done by the department of Justice In connec tion with the criminal proceedings taken against various individuals be cause of their connection with the dis aster. I send you lierev/ith both re ports. Punitive action by the govern ment can, of course, only take two forms; that of legal proceedings against those either within or with out the service. It appears that the Department of Justice has already se cured indictments against the master and captain of the Slocum and against the managing directors of the Knick erbocker Steamboat Company, to which company the steamer belonged, tor misconduct, negligence, and inat tention to duty by the captain, and for aiding and abetting therein by the Bienaging directors. Furthermore, the Department of Justice has secured in dictments against Henry Lundberg and John W. Fleming, the assistant inspec tors, of the steamboat inspection ser vice, who actually inspected the Slo cum, for fraud, misconduct, and in attention to duty. Lundburg had been appointed merely os pobation in the service and has been dropped. There can, of course, be no further action about Fleming until his trial has been finished, although it does not follow that an acquittal would prevent the Department from discharging him from the service. In addition, the Depart ment of Justice has secured tbe indict m ent of the manager and three em ployes of the Nonpareil Cork works, of Camden, N. J., for putting upon the tsarket compressed cork blocks for use In making life preservers, each of which blocks contained In its center a 'oar of iron -weighing several oun -ei. This last'offense was of so heinous a characteLthat is is difficult to com ment upon it with propfer sem-restraiui. It appears-that the:national legislature, Jias never "ena'.ted "a law providing in Bet terms :f?r the punishment of this particular species of infamy, doubtless because It'.never entered the head of any man that so gross an infamy could be perpetrated.. I suggest that you re port this wliolo m atter .to Congress, transm itting these two reports, and at that time callliig special attention the need of imposing an adequate penalty for the making or. selling of defective life-saving appliances. REMOVAL. OF -DELINQUENT OF- . ' FICIALS. ‘‘So much" IorJwhat the Department of Justice has done-in reference to the disaster. But in addition to thg men •nut on triaf by .the'Department of Just tice, action' should he taken agaijist those employes whose responsibility for the state of things’ producing tie ac cident has -been ,brought into the re- SJort of the- cbrnoilssIoB. According to this report'ft appears that in addition io tile tw o assistant ! nspectors who are aoif on trial,.the supervising Inspector <* the second district, Mr. Rodie, aa$ the two local inspectors of the port of Kew ,York. M essrs.'Dumont and Bar rett, should all three be removed for Jaxlty and neglect in performing their duties As .regards the conduct of Mr. Eodie, Mr. UMer'dissents from the con clusion of the four other commission ers. I agree with the conclusion of the other four. Laxity and neglect, where the consequences may be so terrible as they have proved to be In this case, cannot be passed over, even whore tiiers has been gcitl conduct to otaer respects on the part of the man Impli cated. Accordingly, the three officials r.amed will bo removed from the ser vice. Moreover, yon will please direct their successors In office at once to-con duct a thorough examination of the en tire inspection force of the port of New York, with the object of weeding out all the men whom such-!examination shall show to be unfitted to perform the- very arduous and responsible du ties of their positions. The supervising inspector general has a t present no headquarters force o£ special agents, so that it is very difficult for him to exer cise any adequate and direct supervis ion over the various iocal divisions of the inspection service. In each division fie m ust rely chiefly on the SSelIty and energy of the local heads, and when these fail to perform their duties they must be held accountable. He" must, however, exercise as thoroughly a su pervision as the means at this disposal allow. In order that I may be in formed as to the exact condition of the service in all its parts, I direct you to order a searching investigation in con sequence of the investigation of the commission into the conduct of the cen tral office and of every outside subdi vision of the service save that In New York. “You will also make such changes in the regulations as are recommended by !he commission, and you will there fore call a special meeting of the board' of supervising inspectors for this pur pose. Ypu will also lay before the Con gress a request that the law he changed in the various particulars recommend ed by the commission. I wish particu lar emphasis laid upon the proposal of tbe commission that there be created by a law a special body thoroughly to investigate the laws which are suppos- edto provide for tbe safety of passen gers on steamboats, and especially on excursion boats, where the prime causes of danger are the overcrowding and the flimsy and highly inflammable character of superstructures. “Very truly yours, “THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Though it was too early, to fully meas ure the results of the tremendous struggle which has been in progress some days and still it is evident that the Russian Commander-in.Chief was caught with his forces scattered and beaten before he could recover. The latest telegrams 'Trom the field report uninterrupted iiiScess for the Japanese arms. More troops are engaged oil each side than in any previous battle, and tlie fighting at some points has sur passed in desperation anything seen since the w ar began..'HThe Japauese commanders in making lheil' reports express admiration of Russian valor.

General Oku has captured twenty- five Russian guns, making a total of about thirty Russian guns which have fallen into the bands of the Japan ese. A single section of General Nodzu'a army took 150 prisoners. The Japanese began a desperate ef fort to turn the Eussittn right, and if It should succeed it would carry disas ter to the Russian arm*.

The Taissiasis fought hard and desperately-, but were no iiiatcli for the Japanese infantry. On the other hand, we suffered a t a disad vantage. Onr guns were out of rangej and were reduced to silence for the greater part of the day. A timely mist enabled the Japanese to draw near, comparatively wifiiijut damage, to the hills of the Russian position, and from which they were forced to withdraw. The retirement was very leisurely, and the guns In particular remained on the ground longer than seemed safe.” " :- The Daily Mail’s Tokio correspond ent asserts that the pursuit by tlie Japanese is working great havoc to the dispirited Russians, who left their dead and wonuded on the field. The Russian forces are estimated a t two hundred thousand, with one thousand guns, and the correspondent says that the fighting was the most severe and terrible- of the whole war.

Chatham, Mass. —Driven Sown the coast by a northeast storm, the Nova Scotian schooner W entworth was thrown upon Chatham B ar and smashed to pieces in the terrific snrf. ‘ It is believed that not a soul on board survived. A t 7 o’clock in the morning the body of a woman was dragged out of the breakers by the Government life savers who bad been waiting on the beacii tiowei'less to aid since the ves sel went on to the bar* At 8 o clock another body, that of 6. man, was re covered. It is believed that in addition to the Unfortunate woman tbe ill fated ves sel carried a crew of at least eight m&n, besides Iier skipper, CaptaiD Preddle.The W entwortli was a three masted schooner owned in Wiiidsorj N. S., and V,-as bound from Hilisborciri N. B.i to New York Cityj w ith a load of plas ter. . ’It was just before dark that the schooner was seeii by the keeper of tbe Nauset Lights . flying Southj be fore the gale, with her foresail set. She Was about three miles off shore at the time, and it was believed that she would be able to find the entrance of Pollock Rip Slue and thread her way through the narrow channel intfi safetv behind tlie Handkerchief shoal. But at 8 o^clock the South Patvoi of the Old H arbor Life Saving Station, ten miles south below Nauset1 suddenly discovered tbe schooner on the outer bar, head on to tlie beach. Within half an hour Captain Doane had mus tered his crew opposite the wreck and a line from the gun was fired. As the little line tightened after be ing sent toward the wreck it was be lieved that the crew had caught it and would soon pull aboard the big haw ser and reach shore in the breeches buoy. There came no sign from the Vesseli however, although lights were shining in the cabiiii Several of tbe surfmen went down as near the breakers as possible and balled the schooner1 through mega phones, but there was no answer* Others burned signal torches. In the meantime Captain Doaue's crew* had been reinforced by Captain Charles and his crew from ihe Or* leans Stationj and several times lines were shot out to tbe vessel, all of which either feil Shorti or, if reach ing the vessel; were useless in the helpless bands Oli the exliaustdd Crewi Then the life savers settled down M a night’s vigil on the beacii, trusting that the vessel would hold together until morning, when, it was hoped, tho lifeboat could be launched. As daylight came it was seen that two of the masts,, the main and the mizzeu, had fallen by the washing away of tbe stern of the vessel. Then it was that tiie life savers gave up all hope of rescuing any of the crew. The name -was ascertained from her quarterboard and part of tiie stern, which eamo ashore.

"1' ou The Victim the Stayer’s Brother-In L»w and Former Partner in Busi ness, Lexington, Special.—About noon Sunday a t Piney Church, in Boone township, Clay Grubb, a well -jtnown distiller, shot and killed 0. L. Davis, his brother-in-lav aad former partner ;4ii iuisjness. ‘ Grubb says th at -just as he drove up near the church, where a protracted meeting was going on, he saw Davis attem pt to draw a pistol, and, believeing his life in danger, he shot Davis to save himself. H e did no t know how many tim es he shot, nor whether Davis was dead, but said that three chambers of his revolver, were empty. Davis lived about ten minutes after being shot, but never spoke. Several hundred people were pres ent and several of them witnessed the fearful homicide, As the three shots rang out on the Sabbatb stillness, the crowd gathered around Davte and saw a t once that he was shot in the breast, and they looked on while stream s of bloood flowed from tbe nose mouth of the dying man, forming ,a pool where he lay. Grubb, as soon as he fited the fatal shot, left the crowd iii silence and w ent, to the house of Bill" Simerson, S magistrate,, close fay, and asked that he appoint deputies to bring Sim to Lexiiigton. Accordingly, Boon Willscii attd Clar ence Thompson were appointed and they ScoiQpanied Grubb to this place, where Be surrendered to Sheriff Dor- sett, about 8 o’clock this ^afternoon.

The cause Of the (homicide is not known exactly, at this date, but is supposed to be over sosuo business transaction. It is said that the meii had exchanged threats to kill ,each other, and that tor the last few :months fesliflg has been high between them. Some gay the ” trouble arose over a lot of whiskey which was stolen in Boone recently, Grubb m arried Pavisj sister, fcr a long time the men were partners iii business and the best Cf friends. Some months ago, Grubb withdrew from the whiskey business iii this eoilnty and went to Salisbury, where lie now lias an interest in a large distillery. Davlsi it is said, had also quit the liquor trattic. Davis'was here Saturday and Wbiic in conversation with some friends, stated that he expected serious trou ble with Grubb at afiy tinie—perhaps within 43 hours, Both Grubb and Davis have been in troiiiile several times before, but never .with each Otheti They have the ref utation cf being dangerous men to tam per with, but have never attacked any one until, as they said, their busi ness was being interfarred with. For many years the people of Boone town ship have been slow to open their mouths about either of the two men, fearing the consequences. The killing is mticli deplored, for in spite of their faults, both men have a host of friends and supporters. Grubb was the Republican candidate for sheriff in this county two years ago. 0. L. Davis is survived by a wife iinrt several children. He was a man of considerable property, and, is said to carry heavy life insurance. > 11 A Tate of the Erie Canal.AtfAmsterdam, for Fonda botiria, W i hauled the rope away.An’ 1 Cf t the dock at Iff o'clock Thl fifteenth all? of'-May.Our $>oat It was tlie Mary Jane.Th' crew was—Jiro an* me;I hcSn’t seen Jim ner boat again— Tfc y both are gone, you see.

As the great fight ing machine started from the w ays she w as'christened “Georgia,” a bottle of champagne being broken against her prow by Miss Stella Tate, a daughter of the late William Tate, a sister of Congressman F. Carter Tate, and a di rect ; descendant of the famous Bryd fam ily of Georgia. The Georgia was decorated with flags and hunting as she slid down the ways, and the office and yard buildings of the Bath Iron W orks were smiliarly decor ated for the occasion. It was the most notable event of the kind ever hekl in the Pine Tree State, and thousands of excursionists from all parts of the Stats gathered for the gala occasion. The Ixuaiiim g party was entertained by tho officers of the shipbuilding company, and included officers of the Federal and State governments. Governor John F. H ill and Mrs. Hill were unabie to at tend. .; The,guests of honor took their places on a platform erected a t the prow of -the battleship, and the party included Governor Joseph M.

As the battleship began to move Mis* Tate broke a pint bottle qt ehampagno across the bow. naming the craft in lionor of her Stale. The bottle was en cased iii a handsomely worked silver frame, with long ribbons flowing from its neck, and was attached to the bow so as to be preserved by Miss Tate as a souvenir of the event. As the great eraft slid into the Ken- nabec River she was saluted by numer ous craft and manufacturing plants along the shore, all of which were ac knowledged by tho Georgia, as she was launched w ith steam up. IVhen she was afloat this gave her more the ap pearance of a finished w ar vessel than any previously launched, both military m asts being in position, as well as tho conning tow er and three smoke fun nels. The Georgia was attended by several tugs and was docked Oaring the afternoon. Following the ceremony of launchiug lhe party was entertained a t luncheon served in the draughting rooms, which had beeii handsomely decorated w ith stream ers of bunting ahd haval flags.

The unidentified body of a man killed on the Trans-Siberian Railroad near. Tomsk last summer is still urc buried. He was believed to have come from Irkutsk, whither the body was sent, only to be returned to Tomsk by the police. Once more it was sent to Irkutsk and once more returned by the police as being unknown in that town. , , Innumerable telegrams were sent and replied to, no town would receive the'body, which was sent hither and thither by railway, always being re turned to Tomsk. At last it was of fered to the Anatomical Museum at Tomsk, where it was preserved for nine months, no one daring to dissect it withont permission from the higher government. . Now the museum is beir|: rebuilt and the body has been once more handed over to the Tomsk police. ,They again refuse to bury it without the documents without which nothing can be done in Russia, and the un happy body, which is said to have al ready traveled over 11,000 miles, is once more upon its unending travels. Ways of the Orient. There is nothing very remarkable in the report from Japan that a move ment is on foot, supported by many eminent men, to found a church pro- Christian in character, but independ ent in its lines. WIien Buddhism was disestablished and disendowed in the early '70s of last C-Jitury, owing to the momentary ascendency of Shiulo, which is merely vague ancestor and nature worship, it was prophesied by acute foreign observers that Japan would either adopt Christianity or be come frankly materialistic. It will not be owing to any lack of energy on the part of European and American missionaries if the former course is discarded. Here is one forecast pub lished fourteen years ago: “To make all Japan Christian by edict some fine morning is not on the program of the Japanese statesm an of tho hour. But that something of the kind should happen within the next twenty years is not nearly so nnlikely as many things that have actually happened in this land of realized improbabilities.” DOCTORS MOVE GIRL’S HEART. Organ Restored to Normal Condition Though Shifted Six !inches. Annie Riley, a 13*year-old daughter of James Riley of Dickson City. Pa., became ill with pleurisy about a year ago. The family physician found the whole left aide of the child's body over tlie lungs bloated. He removed the m atter and the girl began to get well. Soon, however, a second gathering appeared, which decayed tho ribs on Iho left side. During this second ill ness the girl’s heart moved over to the right, side some six inches from its proper position. The girl was taken to a hospital, where physicians found it necessary to remove four whole ribs and parts of four others. The physiciaus restored the heart to its natural position, but the operation left the child weak and for two weeks she was in a dangerous posi tion, biit now it is believed she will recover. = £ = Mrs. Haskeil, Worthy Via| Templar, Inde- pendent Order Good Teriplars, of Silver Lake, Mass., tells of her ctire by the use of Lydla E.

The old adage that “ligntning never strikes twice in the same place” has often been, disproved. Here is an in stance in point: In the summer o{ ISSi the farmhouse of Henry Axtell in Chemung County, N. Y., was struck by lightning three times in one day. F irst it split the chimney from top to bottom, ruined stove and pipe and bored several holes in the floor. An hour later a “bolt” struck the same house and tore a milk bench, upon which several cans of milk were set ting, all to pieces. The same evening a third flash entered the roof and tore the legs from a bedstead.—Mifi- fiietown Times. A Growing Evil.

A t this time thera is nothing so valuable as Grape-Nuts for the reason that this food is nli nourishment and is also all digestible nourishment. A woman who used it says: "Some lime ago I was very ill with typhoid fever, so ill everyone thought I would die, even myself. It left me so weak I could not properly digest food of any kind anil I also had much bowel trouble which left me a weak, helpless wreck. “I needed nourishment as badly as anyone could, but none of the tonics helped me until I finally tried Grape- Nuts food morning and evening. This not only supplied food that I thought delicious as conld be but it also made me perfectly well and strong again so I can do all my housework, sleep well, can eat anything w ithout any trace of bowel Rouble anfi-for that reason alone Grape-Nuts food is worth its weight iu gold.” Name given by Fostum Co., Battle Creek, Micb.

The inception ot evil and lawlessness into the body po litic is so gradual until it becomes prodigious and appalling, and we are overawed by its strength aufi magnitude. An evil should be ap prehended and corrected in its pri mary stage, before it becomes a monster; .when it becomes more difficult- to subdue After a sio of transgression becomes common or customary, we become more toler ant and liberal in o ir views and criticisms as to its demoralizing influence; because our moral facul ties become perverted, and our standard of judgment on moral conduct becomes lowered, and, ultimately, we can look upon sin and eoriupticn with an • in- creasing " and alarming degree Governor1Said that he hoped to j 0f allowance. This is a critical see the day that his children and period in the history of a nation all other white children would be or state, and the alarm should be educated in the same schools with negro children and the negro chil dren as much respected as the white children.—Wilacsbcro Jour nal. Isaac H. Meekins, Republican candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, has challenged Francis D. YYins ton. the Democratic candidate for the same office, for a joint dobate. YYTe hope, for the good of the par ty, that it can be pievented by our executive committee.—Reids- ville Review. (Democratic). For Senate 29th District, L. SUMMERS of YYilkes Co. WATSOK Olt PARKER. Every Democratic voter should read the following extract from Hon. Thomas E. Watson’s speech as reported in the Yallev Mills (Texas) Protectionist. In his speech delivered at Hous ton the other day, Tom Watson said: ‘■If I were a Bryan Democrat I would never vote Parker. After training with them for eight yeais, IieUfttheinwithimt saying they were wrong. If I were a gold Democrat I would not support Park. He does not even now say that the gold standard is right He inereli says that it “is fixed.’" And if I were a Republican I shouldn’t vote tor Parker. I should despise the imitation and vote the real thing.” Jtuigfc I’arker stands for uolh. ing except-the office auil his fol lowers are after nothing except the offices. There is no principle to back them up except the prin ciple of oflice-geuiug. The Parker- ites are agreed on nothing as to ivhat policies should prevail. They arc just what Tom YYatson says they a^e, “like a balky team— raise lots of dust in the big road, but do not go anywhere.”—Ex change. The Democrats premia? legisla tion on the tariff and yet they stand just where they did in 1892, without- a definite tariff policy, without eveu the vaguest idea of what they would do if they, came in power.

Two old giay heideil, gray-bearded Democrat c negroes sal on the front bench. Their vocal powers cannot be bet tered. “Tell it tnh ’em, Uallelu- lahr!” they cried as they mi,.ht have cried to their ’possum dog. “That’ll do, that’ll do, old man! ’ Piiid Mr. Glcun, motioning his palm outward at them. “That’ll do now,’’ They lay low awhile after this, but when the uext applause came along. “Heigho.” bawled the old coons, forgetfully, clapping their big hands together like muf fled tambourines. “Old man,” remonstrated Air. Glenn, “not quite so Uiacbir That sort of puts me out.” The Ethiopians lay low after this, bnt two Anglo-Saxons effer vesced from time to time-through out the address. One of them stood with his elbows on" the bar rail. He was 6uch a chronic grin- nur that his teeth were sunburnt. He rested his ehin iu the palm of his baud, put his index finger to the tip ofhis nose and pressed that member upward in a most interes- ting way. His hair was that stiff it made one think of a. wire brush. H you had rubbed your hand across it, against the grain, it would have sprang back into Place, each hair quivering and coming to a standstill like an ar row in the target. 8AFE0DAKD AGAIMS r ACCIDENT.

Mendenhall in Montgomery, Ed it o r R e c o r d.— I attended the speaking of the Republican nominee for Congress in the 7th district on the 17th, at Star. The speaking took place in the Academy, and there were move people present than corild get, seats; the ladies came out to see and bear the gallant young Men denhall. He made a- fine impres sion on the people. This speaking was in the home township of the present Congressma, the Hon. R- N. Page. Mr. Mendenhall, from the waj his speeches are beiDg re ceived in Montgoniery county, will get a large majority in this county. We cannot afford to trust the Democrats: They have made so many promises and have failed to fulfiil so many of. them: I wish eve- ry man in thedistriet conld hear Mr. Mendenhall. Ifh eb e a Re publican, it will cheer him’dp and make him stronger in the faith, and if he be a Democrat it will show him the error of his ways and lead him in the right paths.

Our heart- and" conscience becomes callous—hence' this question—“law of mind com pels us to become like those with whore we associate, and doubly like tho:e with whom we affiliate.’' John Quincy Adams, in his ad dress on the Jubilee of the Consti tution, at New York, April 30th c 1839, says “The iistitn inn by the people of the Unied Statesof a Civil Government, to gnaru, u, protect, to defend them all.” To reiterate, he doe- not say protect a man of inllueuce or affluence, who, perhaps, steals a hundred thous and, or kills a man iu cold blood, and punish the poor and p;fct\ thief p the maximum limit of tin taw.

A Serious Affray In Stanley County. Albemarle, Special.—News reached here that on last Saturday night, sev- bral miles from Big Lick, in this coun ty, Thomas Baucom assaulted one Gaii Carve, and knocked him off his horse. Carver then succeeded in bit ting Baucom over the left eye with a large rock and fractured his skull. From the latest reports, Baucom is in n very serious condition and is not expected to recover. Carver has not yet been arrested, but is still about his home, and claims he was acting in self-defense. North State Gleanings. A Durham Special says: There are two factions in the ranks of the city physicians, and the m atter is now like ly to get into the courts. The trouble is between Dr. B. A. Moore and Dr. E. H. Bowling on one side, and the other doctors of the city who are members of the Academy of Medicine on the other. Drs. sioore and Bowling are not mem bers of the Academy, and they are de barred from practice in the W atts Hos pital. This institution is practically under the control of the doctors of the city, and they debarred Moore and Bowling. If these two doctors have a patient to send to the hospital, that patient has to be turned over to some other physician. This is the trouble. The two doctors, who feel aggrieved have now taken steps to force what they consider their rights. They have asked for a meeting of the trustees of the hospital, to be held on November 10th, at which time they will make de mand to be admitted to the hospital on equal terms with all other doctors. This being refused, the next step will be to take the m atter into the courts. The State Agricultural Society, in annual session re-elected by a rising vote Ashley Horne, president; Joseph E. Pogne, secretary; Claude B. Den son, treasurer. There was consider able discussion of questions of amuse ments at the fair, by Pogue, N. B. Broughton and J. S. Wynne. The so ciety is determined to have no swind les. A committee of five was created to consider the question of holding an exposition for a fortnight next Oc tober and report to the new executive committee. The Fire Underwriters of this State, in session in Baleigh, elected A. B. Dangerficld, of Winston, president; J- Van B. Metts, of Wilmington, secre tary, and R. W. Murray, of Greens boro; C. W. Jacobs, of W indsor; J. R. Patterson, of Asheville; J. C. Marshal, of Wadesboro, and W. W. Smith, of Raleigh, the executive committee. The association favors the appeal of the regulations which forbid division of commissions with non-resident agent and brokers. The chiefs of police of this State had a meeting which lasted until a very late hour. J. A. Woodall, of Dur ham, was re-elected president and F. M. Jordan, cf Asheville, secretary, John W. Cotton, of Tarboro, being vice-president, and J. H. Mullins, of Raleigh; C. H. Skinner, of Dunn, and S. M. Wheeler, of Oxford, composing the- executive committee. Every chief In the State is invited to become a member. _Friday ten engines, which weigh IolOOO pounds more than any others In use on the Seaboard Air Line, passed Raleigh on their way south for use on the new Birmingham division. Or ders require that they shall not exceed six miles and hour speed in passing over bridges on this division and not over 25 miles an hour on the roadbed. Ten miles of the Raleigh & Pam lico Sound Railway has been graded and track laying is now progressing quite rapidly. The first of the steel bridges has been completed. The w orst of the grading is finished, George Lyon, of Durham, won the State Championship m the clay pigeon shoot breaking 96 out of 100. J T. Anthony won the professoinal match. Bark Driven Ashore. Key We3t, Fia., Special.—The Nor wegian bark Rainfaxe, from Compache, for Europe, Captain Logwood, ran ashore on Marquesa reef during the storm. The crew was rescued by the schooner Welcome and landed on Mar- quesa beach safe. The tug Childs and wreckers gave assistance. The hurri cane rnissed Key West. No damage was done here. Dense Fog Screens Enemies. Mukden, By Cable. —The hostile armies have been concealed from the view of each other by a dense fog, in which it has been impossible to make out objects at a distance of 100 paces. Under such conditions only unimporant operations are possible, such as surprises and ambushes. Pos sibly, were the roads in better con dition, the fog might favor move m ents of troops and concentrations • a t unexpected points, but without question operations on a large scale . would be too dangerous, and so every- - S ir 8 Jias been W iet on. the front Thursday.

So far as the dispatches from the Far East Show, there has been no change in relative positions cf the hostile armies cenfrcflting each other on the line of the Sbakbo river. There is an unconfirmed report that a Russian force cf 20,000 men have been concentrated at Keuta Pass, 20 miles northeast of Liao Yang, which may be indicative of the direction in, which Kuropatkin is to strike his next blow .. Upwards Cf 20,000 Cf the Russian soldiers wounded in the bat tle of Shakhe have reached Harbin, Oold weather is causing suffering to the armies In the field, although it ias wrought an improvement in the conditions for the movements of roops.

Kurcpatkin Will Try Again. S t Petersburg, By Cable.—There is io change to the relative position of the armies on the. Shakhe fiver. Ueneral Sakharcff telegraphs that the Russians have been bombarding Lamuting and the Buddhiist temple at Linshinpu, while the Japanese have been shelling the Russian position at Shakhe and near Lindhinpu. An As sociated Press dispatch from Mukden reports that the Japanese are forti- 'ying an im portant height' south of Shakhe, and that neither side shows a disposition either to advance nor re tire. Another Associated Press dis patch from the Russian front says the situation is not yet ripe for the re sumption of the cffensivdi This mea- 5re but significant admission, all that the censor allows to pass over the wires, doubtless indicates that Gener al Kuronatkin is m aturing im portant plans and' distributing his forces In readiness for another attempt to break the Japanese resistance. The winds are now dried by the winds and irost;- the cold i3 intense and flooded lslda have been frozen. Thus mili ary movements are facilitated though it the same time it.w ill be more dif- IcuIt to carry on intrenching work Russians^ have crossed the Tailse riv er east of Bensihu and that 20,000 are concentrated at K auta Pass, 20 miles northeast. This may indicate the direction of Klpropatki'n's next blow, or possibly it is intended to dis concert , the Japanese and compel them to weaken their force on the railroad.. W hatever Ifuropatkin’s ul tim ate object may be, there is no doubt that he is desirous of obtaining the most reliable information as to the number and disposition of the force opposing; his left flank. The Cossacks may be relied upon to har- rass the Japanese line of cominuni cation, besides reconnoitering. Gen eral Kurcpatkin is Witii the cSntre of his ardiy. tin October 21st he per sonally conveyed the congratulations of Em peror Nicholas to Count Pou- Ioff and the Nineteenth Rifles for the capture of Lono Treo Hill, The Japanese estim ate that the Russian loss in the battle will reach 60,000 is not confirmed here. A telegram from Harbin reports the passage north of 26,000 wounded. The iemainder, who are quartered in hos pitals at Mukden, cannot exceed a few thousands. 60*000 Russiane'Dead.

Upon’ tMs total, Rus sian casualties are estim ated to ex ceed GO,000. The Japanese captured a total of 45 guns during the Shakhe operations. The report of the Man churian headquarters follows: “The enumerated spoils, etc., of the battle of Shakhe follow: “Prisoners, about 500; enemy’s dead left on the field, 10,500; guns', 35; 27 ammunition wagons; 5,547 rifles; 73,000 small arms ammunition; num ber swords, shovels, axes and tents.

In the state of W ashington there is I rem arkable old tree which, in spita of its phenomenal quality, is known to but few people. Inside of it twenty adult persons have gathered at one time, and, comfortably seated, have saten their lunch, which they spread: iround the wonderful living spring that bubbles up continually In the tenter. Probably there is not another such growth in nature. The cotaci- ience is most noteworthy. The tree is situated on Vashion island, and this island is in the middle of Puget sound. This "spring tree” is the Mecca for the summer school chautauquans of file local organization. The tim ber of the entire state is generally large and fine, but this par ticular specimen is evidently unique and the last of the race left standing, like a forlorn patriarch in the m idst rf his younger descendants. The cir cle inside on the ground is eighteen feet in diameter, and the tree is hol low, having been burned off a t the top, the' bark scorched and the heart gut ted by a "forest fire many years ago. This condition leaves what is really a trunk or stump standing, about twenty test high and open at the top, thus making the chamber very light- One can see clear through the tree owing to the fire having burned holes through.

C. • K oia-T lie following article has Deen widely published and is one of jbe most remarkable illustrations of Jh0 value of careful marshalling and Iniilvsis of tacts in presenting a sub le t to the public. U-VELERS.: HtfSlon of WhlBky1 Tobacco and The Creator made all things, WO be- **Vfso. He must have made these. W e know what He made food and waver for, and air and sunshine, but w-ii.v W hisky, Tobacco and Coffee? They are here sure enough and each performing its work. T here must be some great plan be hind it all; the thoughtful man seeks to understand something of that plan a n d thereby to judge these articles for Iheir tru e worth. - Let us not say "bad” or “good” w ith out ta k in g testimony. Tlicre are times and conditions when :lt certainly seems to the casual observ er that these stimulant narcotics are .-real blessings. ISIglit there is the ambush that con-- ceals a "killing” enemy. One can slip into tin. habit of either whisky, tobacco or coffee easy enough, Imt to ‘‘untangle” is often a fearful straggle. Ic seems plain th a t there are circum stances when the narcotic effect of these poison j is for the moment bene- ticial, but cilc fearful argum ent against them (hat seldom ever does one find a .VSiriy user of either whisky, cof- Iee c-r tobacco free from disease of seme kind. Certainly powerful elements In their effect on (he human races U is a matter of daily history testi fied to Iij literally millions of people, tiiat Whisky, Tobacco and Coffee art smiling, promising, beguiling friends on the start, but always false as hell itself in the end, Unce they get firm JiriiT enough to show their strength, they insist upon governing and drive the victim stcndiiy towards ill health In some form; if permitted to continue to rule, they will not let up until phy sics I and mental ruin sets in. , A man under ihat spell (and “under the spell” is correct), of any .one of these drugs, frequently assures him self c ud his friends, “Why, I can leave off any lime I want to. I did quit for a week .lust to show I could.” It is n sure mark of the slave when one gets to that stage. He wiggled through a week fighting every day io break the ^nei!. was Ihiuily whipped, and began his slavery all over again. Tte 'slave (Coffee slave as well as Tvbaeco and Whisky) daily reviews his condition, sees perfectly plain the steady encroachments of disease, how the nerves get weaker day by day and. demand the drug that seems to smile and offer relief for a few minutes and then leave the diseased condition, plainer to view than ever and grow-; iug worse. Many times the Coffee slave Realizes that he is between two tire;.. He feels bad if he leaves off, had a litlie worse if he drinks and al lows the effect to wear off. Sn it goes on from day to day. Every I'.ight the struggling victim promised 'aiffiseif that be will break the habit und acxt day when he feels a, litlie Vvi (as lie is quite sure to), breaks, not the habit, but his own resolution. It is nearly always a tough fight, with disaster ahead sure if the habit wins. There have been hundreds of thou sands of people driven to their graves through disease brought on by coffee drinking alone, and it is quite certain that more human misery 13 cnused by coffee and tobacco than by whisky, for the two first are more widely used, and more hidden and insidious in the effect on nerves, heart and other vital organs, and are thus unsuspected un til much of the dangerous work is done. " . ' Now, Reader, w hat Is your opinion as to the real use the Creator has for these things? Take a look at the !ques tion from this point of view. There is a law of Nature and of Na ture's Cod that things slowly evolve from Iswcr planes to higher, a sturdy, steady and dignified advance toward inore perfect things in both the Phy sical and Spiritual world. Tbe pon derous tread of evolutionary develop ment is fixed by the Infinite and will not be quickened out of natural law by any of rnau’s methods. Therefora we see many llustoatlons showing how nature checks too rapid advance. Illinois raises phenomenal crops of corn for two or three years. If she continued to do so every yeai her farmers would advance in Iyealth far beyond those of other sections or countries.. So Nature interposes a bar every ibree or four years and brings- on a “bad year.” Here we see the leveling influence a t work. A mau is prosperous in his business for a number of years and grows rich. Then Nature sets the “leveling influ ence” at work on him. Some of his investments lose, he becomes luxuri ous and lazy. Perhaps it is whisky, to bacco, coffee, women, gambling, or some other form. The intent and pur pose is to level him. Keep him from evolving too far ahead of the masses. A nation becomes prosperous and ■ great like ancient Rome. If no leveling influence set in she would dominate the world perhaps for all time. B ut Dame Nature sets her army of “level- crs” at work. Luxury, over eating and drinking, licentiousness, w aste and ex travagance, indulgences of all ..kinds, then comes the wreck. Sure, Sure. Sure. y~~ ~The law of the unit is the law of the mass. Man goes through the same process. W eakness (in childhood), gradual growth of strength, energy, thrift, probity, prosperity, wealth, comfort, ease, relaxation, self-indul- geuce, luxuryj idleness, w aste, de bauchery, disease, and the wreck ffil- lows. The “levelers” are in the busies along the pathway of every successful man and woman and they bag the ma jority. Only itow and then can a man. stand out against these “levelers” and; hold his fortune, fume and health .to the end.

A Japanese Folk Tala That Gives the Native Ideal. In a current magazine Madams Calla J. Harrison relates the following Japanese folk-tale as illustrating the native ideal of perfect womanhood: Kesa filled the eighteen require ments of a beautiful woman. More over, she was peerless In Character as well. Before her and her lover- husband, W ataru, life seemingly had stretched- a long-/ nappy road. Unfor tunately, they fell in debt to Horito, a neighboring samurai, whose evil eye fell upon Kesa, and he coveted her with all his soul. He wished Kesa tor his wife, but while W ataru lived this could not be with honor. B ut an enemy’s life -was but a small hindrance—one stroke Cf the lreen samurai sword and Kesa could be free. So, Morito reasoned and p re y ed this plan upon KesaU old mother, who in turn pleaded with her daugh ter, till Kesa- found herself between Iwo fires, filial versus conjugal love and duty. At last, after bitter weeping, eh'a consented and plans were laid. On a certain night W ataru would return from a journey and after his bath would Hs down on his own pallet among the sleeping ones In the fam ily hall. Morito could easily find him, for his hair would be wet from the bath. On the appointed night MorIto crept through Hte hall, lit on)/ by the andon’s dim light. He found Watu- ru’s place; his hair was w et and his face muffled in the covering. Hastily he spread down a napkin by the pil low, then with one sharp, sw ift stroke of his sword severed the sleeper’s head. Gathering it up In the napkin, he fled. There was no pursuit, and when he had gained his own room in safety he sat down to gloat over his prize. Ab ite turned the head to get a good view the sight froze him with horror, for it was the sweet, piteous face of Kesa. She had sent her hus band from harm, cut off her hair and prepared it to im itate his and meekly : lay down to die that she might be true to -both ties--dying, she fulfilled her duties as a filial daughter, and a faithful wife. In those stern and cruel times, many women had done Sxcellentlyi but Kesa outshone them all. - . A dude preadher generally produces dead senfjops. So. 44.

New York City.—Becoming suddenly Insane in the brass finishing shop of Staats & Dilimeier, a t Mli-IO Soutii First rtfeetj Brooklyn, Patrick H arri- gan, fi wiflower, sixty years old, after trying w ith fi razor, to wound his fel low employes and -terrorizing every body Sn the building, cut his throat. Notwithstanding the fact that his in juries were fatal, he fought . Po liceman Fallon, Of the Bedford avenue station, like a tiger and cut the poiioe- innn’s left hand. H arrigan’s w ife died a yc-a-.' ago and it is said he never recovered from the blow. H-e kept house w ith his. sixteen- ye.lr-old "'son. Some time ago lie lost a job in a brass finishing plant through a strike, Chd he has since hung around Ftaats & DiilineieriS shop in an effort to get employment. WiIIiaui Dili meier, a member of the firm, took pity on the man and gave him a job as brass moulder. Ha.rrigan’s mind did hot appear to be on his work, but Dill- ineier said nothing to him. At T o’clock in the morning H arrIgan re ported for work and was a t his bench Untii 10 o’clock. Then he suddenly screamed, aud, drawing a razor, ran a t the other work men, slashing a t them w ith the steel. They outran him and escaped w ithout injury. Schneider Brothers, shoe manufacturers, and J, Albert; ft manu facturer of cut glass, are iu the same building. HarrigaU ran up to Schnei der Brothers’ place, where forty girls Were ftt work. In their presence he cut his throat. The girls became panic stricken and rushed frantically down the stairs to the street. A number of them fell and were trampled on. Meanwhile Harrigan had entered Al bert’s shop and terrified the employes there. AU this tim e he was hacking at his throat. AU the people in the building ran into the street and left the madman in complete possession. Policeman Fallon was attracted by the tumult. Fallon drew bis club and entered the building. Harrigan was behind a door and he made a savage attack upon the policeman. Fallon used his club, and although he struck the maniac again and agaiu, the crazy man seemed to be possessed of super human strength and succeeded in Wounding Fallon. . HaiTigaii finally broke away from the policeman and ran up an iron stair way. Fallon followed. On the second landing they had another desperate fight and both rolled down the stairs. H arrigau arose and staggered into the yard, where he fell on a pile of ashes. Fallon then disarmed the man and quickly sent for an ambulance to the Eastern D istrict Hospital. Dr. Cam eron found H arrigan dying and took him at once to the hospital. The Rev. Father O’Brien, of Sts. Pe ter and Paul’s Church, was summoned and he administered the last rites of the Roman Catholic Cinirch to H arri- gan. Some of the women alio had been chased out of the building were afraid to return to work and w ent home. FOUR DAYS IN LOOKED CLOSET, IYomau Who Left Home While Delir ious Found In Critical Condition. New York City.—Locked in a dark closet of a building a t I Thatford ave nue, E ast New York, Mrs. Ray Singer was found half starved and blue from cold by Mrs. Rachel Levy, a tenant. She had been there four days without food or water. Mrs! "Singer,-who has been ill, eluded her nurse and escaped from her home at 40 Thatford avenue, whiie dslirious. Though her absence w as discovered !:! a few minutes, the young woman seemed completely to have vanished. H er husband appealed to the police of the Liberty avenue station, which is only a stone’s throw from the house in which she was found, and the police sent out a general alarm for her. while Singer w ith friends continued the search for her daily w ithout result. For' a few days the tenants of the house a t I Thalford avenue have heard strange noises In the building, but thought little of it and made no effort to trace them. Finally, however; Mrs. Levy, while passing through the lower hallway, heard scratching and cries coming from the closet, which is rarely used. She was frightened and. run ning into the street, called several men, who burst qpen the door. On the floor they found Mrs. Singer, emaciated and moaniug. She was in a state of collapse and a doctor was called. .

SalIoIg BuiliI Fire of Wood and Fat sad Xheil Flush a Bight by Baisiag Covers*. l!rcm~Utto Nyw York Cy Clytlii I1Iner* _ New York City.—Five men, who con stituted the crew of the British three- masted schooner Syanara, of Barba dos, who for seven days battled the At lantic off the coast of South Carolina, were brought to this port by the Clyde liner Apache from Jacksonville aiid Charleston. The men were rescued about 3.30 o’clock in the morning, an improvised flarelight from the fore castle stove having attracted the at tention of the officer on the bridge of the Apache. The Syanara’s flarelight bids fair to go down In marine history in a class all by itself: Wheii the vessel became waterlogged and her rigging had been swept away; Captain Morehouse dis covered (hat he had no fiarellghts on board. H e Accordingly had the fore castle stove removed to the deck and filled it with grease and wood. Every once In a while one of the crew would remove the lid of the stove and then quickly replace it. It was a week ago that the Syanara ran into the gale that was to prove her master. The wind freshened ear ly that morning, and by night was blowing at a hurricane rate. The star board deck load stanchions gave way first. Next the port, stanchions went, and w ith them tlie' deck load. The seams forward then opened, aud In less than two lionrs the Syanara’s hold was full of water. For four days (he storm raged w ith uiialiatiiig fury, and then when dark ness came the Syanara was level with the water, her decks awash, and not a shred of her sails remained Iii place. A t this time the craft was 250 miles off the South Carolina coast, and Cap tain Storehouse realized that his only chance of rescue lay in getting back into the track of the coastwise trade. Accordingly, George Rudolph, (he mate; Seaman Nyberg and Jack Lon don, a negro, set to work to rig a jury sail. To do this they took the fore staysail boom aud lashed it to the break of the forecastle. Then they made a square sail of part of the mainsail, and with this managed Io work w hat remained of the vessel to within seventy miles of the coast. Then it was that the Aoaclie found them.
