It is uot enough that a m au be a law-abiding citizen. He should do. his part towards bring ing Vaw-breakers to jiistiu*. He .should give his active support as well as his moral support to the law. No man is Justifiable iu holding his peace wheu a flagrant violation of the hiw comes under his o!>:-iervutiou. It is his duty to report it to the authorities, and let the law take its conrse. He dhoulJ uot do it in a spirit of pique or revenge, but he should do It iu the interest of law and order. It iii hard for a man to discharge this duty, for avery- m an shrinks from being brought into such . uo- t'jrietj-.

Mauy of us subm it to iu- jiutice aud and sometimes to in dignities for this reason. B ut the duty of the citizen is none the less plain. W hen he knows th at the law has beeu violated he ought to make the fast known to the au thorities. Mi'. Clemens has set a good example, and has performed a valuable public service in New Vork.

Every white teacher in the South should attend the great gathering of Southern educators during holiday week. IMPORTANT M EETING. This convention will prove to be, no doubt, the m ost im portant in the his tory of the Association and th? objacts of the organization should appaal to every friend to education in the Soath. COMBJNATION OF FORCES. The Southern Educational Associa tion appeals “to every w hite teieher la the South to join in a vigorous move m ent for a closer and effective union of educational fo.'ces into an organiza tion which shall not only foUer se’.f- im provement and a better under:tand- ing between the different branches of the service, but which sha'l aim to be come strong enough to command at tention in legislative halls, and persua sive enough to arou;e and educa'.e pub lic opinion throughout the land in fa vor of better school-housea, better Mjuipment, better salaries and more ?enerous endowment.” RICHMOND'S WELCOME. The people of Richmond aw -It the coming of the Association and thou sands of visitors and cordial welcome will be extended to all. The local com m ittee of arrangem ents are made up of over one hundred representative busi ness and professional men, in whose hands has been placed the responsibility of arranging for the p oper recep tion and entertainm ent of the conven tion. AT TH E JEFFE R S3N . The Jefferson Hotel has been select ed as headquarters, and all gineral ses sions will be held there, while the de partm ental sessions w'ill be conducted in the various school buildings of the city. The Jefferson, M urphy’s, the Lex ington, New Ford’s, the Alham bra, the St. Claire and other hotels all offer reasonable rates, and bookings should be made in advance. Mr. Hill M ontague is chairm an of the com mittee on hotels and accommo dations and will fce pleased to hear from any who desire definite inform a tion along this line. ONE-FARE RATE. The railroads of the South ha^e made a one fare plus‘two dollars round- trip rale for m 'm bers of the a=socia- tion, and any others who will take ad vantage of it.

Very few are they th at are contented with their lot, and are not striving for som ething they have not; and our na* ture is such th at we are not to be con- tentel or satisfied ith our efforts. It is tented or satls^ed w ith our efforts. It is efforts put forth we accomplish. It seems, very little, and were we not con tinually striving for greater things and going fonvard Inch by inch, we would be slipping backward. But the thought we would present to you is do your very best and then feel satisfied at having put forth your best efforts. W ere the landzcipe all level and undulating, it would bccome mo notonous to us, but we have moun tains and hills, and valleys and plains; and so in life if all was smooth sailing w ith no waves or rough places to over come, we would become weary because of the sameness. Be content as you do your full duty by yourself and your fellowman, meeting the obstacle, not com plaining, but as a man with a life to live and a grand mission to accom plish. It is a great thing when one reaches th at sphere where he is contented, but is greater to be striving for the accom plishm ent of a cause th at is noble and that uplifts and puts upon a higher plane those around you. Your tim e and energy is needed by the communi ty In which you live, and you should, not be content while there Is one thing you m ay do to help along some one In need. But some say there Is enough discon tent In the world, and for their part ^ they are going to take life eisy. This rem inds us of w hat a learned man once said in speaking of contentm ent: “X have never seen but one thing In all m y life th a t seemed to be perfectly contented, and that was a dead pig in the sunshine.” W e would not t a e you go about as demagogue creating n rife and discontent, nor weary your self because everything does not go as you think best, but do your duty a ^ you will have no sm all m easure of combort and content.

Presideut McKinley has taken ocii-asion to exiiress his plerusure at the business-like ma;iner in which Congress has got down to work, to Senators and Kepresentatives M'ho have culled on him . The House has been e.spficially a-jtive. One of the b ij appropriation bills—Legis lative, Judicial aud E.'cecutive— h us been reported; the Arm y re- oi-gani/atiou bill, providing for a regular arm y of from .WjOOO to 100,000 men iu the discretion of the President, has beeu reported and pa-i.sed; and the E erenue re- ductiou bill has l)eon reported from the W ays and Means com mittee. Iu t!ie Senate the Ship subsidy bill, which was taken up by a vote of 38 to 20, the aflirma- tive votes being all Republican, is being considered, and unle-is the Democrats rc:»rt to liliibustering tactics will shortly be pa.ssed; pro- ,?re.is has beeu mado, iu executive se.wion, tov,-ard the ratification of the IIay-Pa-.ineefote treaty, and the A rm y bill ha.s been introduced and referrc.l to the M ilitary com mittee. The.se are only the out ward aeoompli.shmeats. The meu who arc directing the work of Cougre.ss are thoroughly in accord with the advice in tliePres- iilcrit’s ines'-ige concerning the dau^^cr of being tem pted into mak- in.sc extravagant appropriations by the pro.sperous condition of the national Tieasury. The tem pters are on hand in the per.sons of those who are asking for extravaganl appropriations for all .sorts oi thiu.gs, but ther-3 v. ill be no extrav agance. The country isrieh enough and prosperous enough for liber ality, but the Tiepnblicans do not !;cl;eve th a t any country is ever rich enough or prosperous' enough to justify extravagance, and no extr-avagaiice will be authorized by (Jongress. Senator W ellington de-jlares that he is still a Eepnblioan, but in every vote taken siuce the Senate reas.sembled in which party lines were drawn he has voted with the Democrats, eonsequei-.tly he i.s Judged by his acts and not his words. SvhiieM r. W ellington h;\s not e.'cactly been cut by the Ke pi, blitsin Senators, it m ust be c'early evident to him that they shuu him. Senator Fairbanks has intro duced a bill for the admission to the Union as a State of Oklahoma, and providing for two lieprajen- tatives in Congress. The Nebraska Eepublicau Club, of W ashington, held a jollifica tion meetiug touight that was a corker. Among the prom inent speakers who assisted the Nebras kan* to rejoice over the retnru of their State to the Eepublicau col- umu, where it is likely to .stay, were SenatCl'S UuBira, liurrows, and D jlliver, and Ilepresentative Grosvenor. Presidci;t McKinley .sent a letter, the reading of v>hich aroused the enthusiasm of the in-ceting to the highest pitch. No stranger observing the ease of Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, would believe that he only became aEieii’ber of that dignified and a-agust body during the present we-ik. M r. Dolliver’s long and conspicuous service iu the House and his close’friend,ship v. ith many Senators made him feel at home where most new Senators feel re strained and awed for a time. C u e feature of the Ship subsidy bill, now being considered by the Senate as the regular order of bus- iuess, its opponents ai-e careful to say nothing about. It is that cUiuKC of the measui-e which pro- vide.s that all vessels receiving subsidy are reciuired to carry the ocean mails of the IT. S. free of chaige, aud in case of w ar may be Impressed by this goverumeut as auxiliary cruisei-s or trausiw rts. A. section of the Arm y bill gives the Presideiit authority to satisfac torily dispose of the Eagau case by placiug him on the retired list. The section in (juestioii empowers the President to i-etire any officer who is suspended by a conrt-niar- tial for a period to or withiu one year of the date of his coinpulsoi-y retirement for age. It is under stood that this clause w:is put iu the bill becau.su Gen. Eagan de clined to apply for retirem eut uu der the voluntary law. The report of the Isthmian Ca nal Commission favors the JSiea- i-augii route, as expected, aud there is uo doubt that the bill for the couffriictiou of the N'icarauga Ca- ual will become a law at this sess ion of Congress, although the Hep- buru bill which passed the House at the last, session aud is now jjend- iug iu the Senate' ini»y be amended babre it is passed. — —o-----•- W !:e n you n e e d a healiD s; a i d s o o tb iu " -'a n tis e p tic a n p lic ritio n fo r a n v purpose,- u s e th e ' orig-iuai H e- W itt’3 W itc h H .azel S a iv e , it w eil kn o w n c a re fo r p ile s andslciadiseauies.

Even Senator Lodge, known as a vigorous expansionist, said at Philadelphia: “ W e iiiiist go on like honest meu aud deal with the daily problems as they arise, not grasping at the future which uo one cau read. No m.in is wise enough to say today what will be best to do a j-ear hence, or five years hence.” M any other Republicans would go further and say that it may perhaps not prove the right thing permanftitl ly to re tain the Philippine M auds. That is something for the future to de cide. AVe believe the Republican party, under Pre.sidcnt McKinley, takes up it.s present task w ith uo strongly preconceived ideas on this point. Its promise of the lar gest measure of Bclf-government to th eF ilip iro i implies some doubt as to the rem nant of authority over them which it may in the future seem wise.st ami best for us to hold.

' W ashington, D. C. (Special).—Presl- aent McKinley’s message, transm itted end read to the second session of tlie Plfty-slxth Congress, is, in part, as follows; “To the Senate and House of Eepra. sentatives: "A t the outgoing of the old and In- iroming of the new century you begin the last session ot the F ltty-slith Con gress w ith evideneeB on every hand o t individual and national prosperity a n i w ith proof of the growing strength and increasing power for good of republican institutions. Your coun trym en will join w ith yon in felicita tion th a t American liberty Is more firmly established than ever before, and th at love for it and the determ ina tion to preserve it are more universal than a t any form er period In our his tory. “The Eepublic w as never so strong, because never so strongly intrenched In the hearts of the people as now. The Constitution, w ith few amend- ments, exists as it left the hands of Its authors. The additions which have been made to it proclaim larger free dom and more extended citizenship. Popular government has dem onstrated In its one hundred and twenty-four years of trial here Its stability and security, and its efficiency as the best Instrum ent of national development and the best safeguard to human rights.” The President refers to the growth of the population of tbe country and then takes up the Chinese problem, which he says is the dom inant ques tion in our foreign relations. A part from this, our relations w ith other Powers have been happy. The President tells at great length the story of the uprising in China, which he says had.been fom enting for three yeara. H e recites the m eas ures taken to protect the ie'gatiens in Pekin, the attack upon the envoys, the taking of the Tako forts, the siege cf the legations and their relief, w ith the fighting a t Tien-Tsin. H e then states the policy of the United States. O ur declared aims, he says, involved no w ar against the Chinese nation. H e continues: “We adhered to the legitimate office M rescuing the Imperiled legation, b!> talp'-<^ redress for wrongs already sul.' W d iV c u r iig ’W&«!. aiT.,possible th e' safety of American Ufe anu In China, and preventing a spreau C. the disorders or their recurrence.” A fter reviewing the negotiations w ith the Powers for the purpose of re storing peace to China, to preserve Chinese territorial entity and to pro- tect all trade and treaty rights, the President says: “The m atter ot indemnity to r our w ronged citizens is a question of grave concern. M easured in money alone, a sufficient reparation may prove to be beyond the ability of Chi n a to meet. All the Powers concur in em phatic disclaim ers ot any purpose of aggrandizem ent through tbe dls- m em berm ent of the Empire. I am dis posed to think th a t due compensation m ay be made in part by Increased guarantees of security for foreign rights and immnnities, and, m ost Im portant of all, by the opening ot China to the equal commerce of all the world. These views have been and will be earnestly advocated by our representatives.” The “year of the P aris Exposition” Is referred to as “fruitful in occasions for dlsplayhig the good will th a t ex ists between this country and France.’’ H e adds: “A part trom the Bxpositioa several occasions for showing inter national good will occurred. The in- ■nguratlon in Paris of the Lafayette M onument, presented by the school children of the United States, and the designing of a commemorative coin by our m int and the presentation of the first piece strack to the President of the Bepnblic, were m arked by ap propriate ceremonies, and the Fourth of July w as especially observed in the French capital.” The President then says th a t gooil will prevails in our relations w ith the German Empire. Our relations with G reat Britain continue friendly. While Texations questJons arose through the w ar .In South A frica they w ere all setUed amicably. H e then takes up tbe Alaska boundary dispute and says th a t the modus vivendl of October, 1889, Is a t best an unsatisfactory m ake-shlft which should not be suf fered to delay the speedy and com plete estabUshment of the frontier line to whleh the United States ate entitled under the Busso-American treaty for tbe cession of Alaska. “In this relation,” he eontinnes, “I m ay refer again to the need of definite ly marking tbe Alaskan boundary w here it follows the one hundred and forty>first meridian. A convention to ^ t end baa been before the Senate for some tw o years, but as no action has been taken I contem plate negotiat ing a new convention for a Joint de term ination ot the m eridian by tele graphic observations. These, It is be lieved, w ill give more accurate and unquestionable results than the side real methods heretofore independent ly followed, which, as is known, proved discrepant a t several points on the line, although not varying a t any place more than 700 fe e t” The President refers to the dem and of Italy for reparation for the lynch ing of Italians a t Tallulah, and snys: “I renew the urgent recommeuda- tions I made last year th a t th e Con gress appropriately confer upon (he F ederal' courts jurisdiction in this class of international cases w here the ultim ate responsibility of the Federal Governm ent m ay be involved, and I in vite action upon tbe bills to accom plish this which w ere introduced In the Senate and House.” H e recom m ends tb a t Congress make gracious provision for indem nity to the Italian sufferers in the sam e form and pro portion as heretofore. H e then strongly condemns lynch ing, and quotes from bis inaugural .«1- dress as follows: “Lynching m ust not be tolerated in a great aud civilized country like the United States: courts, not mobs, m ust execute the penalties of the law. The preservation of public order, the right of discussion, the in tegrity of courts, and the orderly ad m inistration of justice m ost continue forever tbe rock of safety upon which our Government secureiy rests.” The President briefly reviews the progress which Japan has m ade and says it shows the competence of the Japanese to bold a forem ost placc am ong m odern peoples. The President announces the ratifi cation of tbe treaty of The H ague by sixteen Powers and the appointm ent as members of the A rbitration Court form er President H arrison, Chief Jus tice Fuller, Attorney-General Griggs, and form er Senator Gray. H e then commends the construction of an Inter-occanic canal. H e says overtures for a convention to effect the building of a canal under the auspices of tbe United States are under consid eration. H e urges the Senate to re move any objection which m ight arise out of the convention commonly called the Clayton-Bulwer trea The President says: “Satisfactory progress has been made tow ard the conclusion of a general treaty of friendship and intercourse w ith Spain, in replacem ent of the old tieaty, which passed into abeyance by reason of the ate w ar. I feel th a t w e should not suffer to pass any opportunity to re affirm the cordial ties th a t existed be tw een us and Spain from the tim e ?f our earliest independence, and to en hance the m utual benefits of th a t com mercial intercourse which is natural between the tw o countries.” H e then states th a t inasm uch as the Treaty of Peace did not include all the islands in tbe Philippine group he di rected the negotiation of a supple m entary treaty w hereby Spain re nounces all claim s to the islands In question in consideration of the sum ot $100,000. The President recommends legisla tion to pay American citizens’ claims against Spain for losses during the Cuban w ar.

As he faced him he drew from bis hip pocket a revolver and levelled it at Stokes, who slowly retreated, though still facing the pistol. “You lie!” again shouted W ohl and as he did so pulled the trigger. Pierced through the left side, Stokes dropped to the sidew alk and in the fall drew ills revolver and covered bis assailant. W ohl shot again and sim ultaneously Stokes fired. , A crowd of people gathered. Wohl was dead. H e had been shot through the brain. Stokes w as seriously tvounded. On the porcb, where she had taken refuge, lay M rs. Levine In 1 dead fa in t Mr. Stokes refuses to say anything concerning the tragedy. W r.

IN view of the experience of the past w et year in the m atter ot roads, or rather the w ant of them, I venture to suggest th a t this isJ an opporijine tim e to discuss m atters concerning the failure of the old sys tem and the snbstltutlon for It of some more efficient method, w rites F. J. Collyer, in the F arm er's Advocate, ot Canada. F or those living from teen,to twenty»mlles from the railw ay, as some of us do, there is no other question concerning our business of such moment. The statute labor system , copied, I believe, largely from th at In force ia Ontario, while it m ay have afforded, in the old days, the only practicable method of filling a mud hole or bridg ing a creek, has, for reasons well- known to your readers, certainly passed its days of usefulness. The Territorial Government, falling to profit by our experience, a few years ago instituted a 'statute labor system there, which, w hile superior to ours in several particulars, has already been found w anting, as m ay be seen from comments in the local papers, and pro vision has even 1)een m ade .for the sub stitution of a cash system w hen the m ajority of ratepayers In a district (usually a township, I believe) so de sire it. Most of our progressive municipali ties have, I understand, abandoned the old system and now collect varying am ounts of cash in lieu thereof, and the results,of the change, in some of tiiem a t least, have been m ost grati fying. For Instance, the Clerk of B irtle M unicipality Informs me that in the tw o years during w hich they have collected $2 per quarter-section they have done more work than they did in the previous fourteen under the old regime, and I m ay state th at in our own M unicipality (Archie) the ad m itted value of the im provements done under the old system only reaches six per cent, of the nom inal cost. As to the expenditure of the cash, w hen it is coUected, there is a differ; ence of opinion as to the m erits of the "day labor”, and “contract” systems. Some uphold the “contract” system, considering th at It Is not safe and I am sorry to say the fear Is sometimes jnatifled—to allow reeves and coun- cHors to hire their neighbors: but I hav.! heard of dishonest practices In nw aidlng contracts, through only noti fying favored parties. As far as my experience goes (and I m ust adm it it is not great) the “contract” system has not proved a success. Owing to the necessity of hunting scrapers, etc., and the frequent Inexperience of the ten derers, who, naturally, do uot w ish to lose money on the job, the prices paid are frequently very liigh, $5, $G, and even ?8 per day for a m an and team being not uncommon rates ot pay. On the other hand,' day labor for short term s is frequently unsatisfactory, as neither men nor team s are of much use xmtil they become acquainted w ith the work, which w as a frequent cause of failure under the old system even w hen the men w ere w illing to work, and the tool and. inspection troubles were ever present. As a solution of the problem. I would suggest the fol lowing plan, which, as far as I am aw are, is untried, but would, I thiuk. overcome the difficulty w ithout any great outlay in initial cost: Select a well-principled, hard-w orking m an as w orking forem an, w ith or w ithout a team as the num ber of men to work under bis direction would be small or great. H e should, preferably, have a prior knowledge of the work, which should be previously laid out by a surveyor if the municipal authorities are Incapable of doing It. and he should be paid a good salary, placed under bonds, and hired to:- as long a season as is considered advisable. Then all residents desiring to w ork on the roads should be required to give notice, by a given date, of the length of time they wish to w ork on the roads and the date and locality in which they would prefer to put in the time; those selected would w ork under the direction of the forem an, who in turn would be under the general super vision of the reeve and councilor of the w ard. This plan would necessi tate but little loss of tim e through moving, as the tow nships could be taken In rotation and the outfit would only need to be moved w hen the mon ey allotted had been expended. It would probably effect a saving in wages, as cost of living would be less If a caboose w as provided, which,' besides affording accommodation for the men, would also contain sm all tools, horse feed. etc. As regards stonew ork for culverts, etc.. it would perhaps be advi.wble to h av e. th at done by a qualified stone mason, as the dry stone w alls and poplar stringers so frequently built last but a short time, and frequently fall shortly after erection, through unskilled w orkm an ship. As cem ent is now procurable at $3 per barrel, and even less in quanti; ties, it would, I think, be advisable to have all_ w alls over tw o feet In height laid in cem ent m ortar, w ith fianking w alls, a t least on the upper side, to prevent the earth being washed ou/ behind the stonework. A Very Good Beasoa. One reason why the boards of trade and the .com m ercial bodies in the United States are getting interested in good roads is the fact th at the whole business ot the country is suffering for the w ant of them. Take tiie State of New York, where agriculture ought to be more prosper ous than in any other State ot the Union.

He was known as one of the foremost students of Shakespeare of the present day, and in his home he had a magnificent library. A remark able thing about this library was that there was not a single law book in the collection, for during the last twenty years of his life he made it a rule never to bring his business cares to his fireside.

How gladly would men fly to wo m an's aid did they bn t understand a wom an’s feelings, trials, .sensibilities, and peculiar organic disturbances. Those things are know n only to Tvomen, and the aid a m an would give is not a t his command. To tre at a case properly it is neces sary to know all about it, and full inform ation, m any times, cannot be given by a woman to her fam ily phy- M rs. a. H. Chappelu aidan. She cannot bring herself to tell everything, and the physician is a t a constant disadvantage. This is w hy, for the past twenty-fi,ve years, thousands of women have been con fiding th eir troubles to Mrs. Pinlcham, and whose advice has brouglst happi ness and health to countless women in the U nited States. Ml'S. Cliappcll, of G rant Park, 111., whose po rtrait we publisli, advises all suffering women to seek Mrs. Pink- ham ’s advice and use Lydia E. i*ink- ham ’s Vegetiible Compound, as they cured her of inflammHtion of the ovaries and womb ; she, thei*efore, speaks from knowledge, and her tixperience ought to give others confidence. Mrs. Pink- hara’s address is Lynn, Mass., a n i h(^r advice is absolutely free. Mrs. Pierre Lorillard Ronalds, the American lady to whom Sir Arthur Sullivan has bequeathed a legacy of $250,000, has been a resident of don for thirty years and was one of the greait composer’s dearest friends. It was Mrs. Ronalds who brought abouc a reconciliation between Sir Ar- thus and his reconciliator, W. S. Gil bert. The two‘geniuses had quarreled and the w'hole world was in grief. Mra. Ronalds soundly lectured both men separately and then brought them to gether at her dinner table. They shook hands, became reconciled and at once began work on a new comic opera. It was this act of kindness which Indue* ed the musician to make such gfenerous provision for the brilliant American in his will. Mrs. Reynolds has not lived with her husband, Pierre Lorillard Ronalds, for thirty-one years. She is nov/ 69 and her spouse nearly 80. He has lived alone in his mansdon rt New ton. Conn.. and only recently filed a isuit for divorce to.prevent Mrs. Ron- ialds inheriting her share of his estate. It was her prospect of a penniless old age that induced Sullivan to aid her. Mrs. Ronalds was formerly Mary Francis Carter, of Boston. A youug woman of Saco. Me., re cently purchased a pretty bit of brie- * a-brac at a great bargain. Soon after, the whist club of which she is a mem ber met at her home, and her chagrin could hardly be imagined when she discovered that the fortunate winner of the article was the very clerk who sold it. It Is said that during the fourteen years which President McKinley spent in Congress he purchased and smoked 37,000 cigars. While this is a very large number, it represents but an av erage of seven a day, which Is no more than a great many men smoke. During his service in Congress the President always bought his cigars by the box at the stand where his purchase.^ were made, and called for them as be needed them. A resolution was adopted recently by ihc Indiana Federation of Labor, asking that a law be passed prohibiting the tniplovinent by street railway companies of conductor*; and niotormen who are addicted to tlie use of intoxicants. A new educational plan Is being tried in Copenhagen. No books ivre used, but tlie boys are iiistrnctod orally when rlioy perform nt the same time some Ui:ht manual work.

A E V E a o v e m t u r e steam and a Blow “choo-ehoo!” as Uiougli the big engine w ere taking breath for its long run, the train rolled m ajestically out ot tbe station. Ben wa;-. on bis fourth round—“can dy and bonbons" this tim e—w hen there w as a sudden Jolting and jarring as tbe train cam e quickly to a standstill. Some folks, thinking it a station, gathered up their traps preparatory to departure, but Ben knew better. He. knew they should be halfw ay between Sandsyllle and H enderson, which was; the last stop before Edgetow n. “H ot b o i, I reckon!" m uttered Ben to him self. “T hat’ll m ean a h alt hour delay, and m other'll get uneasy.” The train boy stepped out on ther platform , and, leaning far out, he saw a knot ot men standing by tbe engine, their faces lit up by the light trom the; cab. Q uickly clam borlng down, he ran: up to the group. Facing each other wore the engineer and the president. T his is a dastardly plot of yours," that w e ? re going right throngk. Theq you can stop here or go on w ith ua, just as you choose.” Then tbe new s w as passed along th« train th a t a substitnte engineer had been found and the train w as to go through after all. A board tbe engine, his gloved handi wielding a shovel, w as the president of tbe road, w hile Ben, w ith his facs out of the cab window, kept his lef( band on the throttle. In tbe m eantim e tho brakem en held a short consultation w ith the con- dnetor and had concluded th a t the bes( course for them w as to quit the train nnd leave it to its fate. A couple of tbe m ale passengers vol unteered to act as brakem an and ton- ductoii and w ith this strange crew the train presently got under way. It had been decided th a t as trouble probably aw aited them a t Henderson, w here a large row dy elem ent w as lo cated, the train would stop a half mile this side of tbe tow n fo r'th e passen gers, and then Ben w as-to run through H enderson w ithout stopping. On the station platform a group of a hundred me t w ere grim ly aw altln" tbe arrival ot tbe train. Its approach iiad been heralded by its w histle Ove uiintites before. ‘ If tbe train slows up, board her, and pull off the engineer,” com manded the bead of the gang. “It she doesn’t stop, shoot a t the scabs, and sm ash all tho windows you can!” Suddenly a boarse sbout w ent up. “H ere she comes! Bless me ir she ain't slow in’ down!” cried one. ‘Ready, boys, w ith yer brickbats!” cried the ringleader, revolver In hand. Leaning far out of the cab window, his face sm utched w ith coal dnst, hla eyes shining like stars, w as Ben. The president, who had forgotten to re move bis kid gloves, stood ju st be hind, shotgun iu band. The revolver w as raised, a hundred stones were poised in the air. Then as the pale, set face ot tbe young engineer showed up for an instant by the flickering light of the station lam ps the man w ith the revolver lowered his weapon and sprang forw ard. “Hold on!” he yelled, “I f s Ben!" B ut there w as no need for the w arning. The men had recognized the lad a t tho same instant and w ith one accord their hands dropped. They would have as soon shot their own sons as to do barm to Beu. So the president had his Christm as w ith his m other after all. nnd so did Ben, and the boy thought it the hap piest C hristm as he had ever known.

The shoot ing took place near New Hope church, about seven m iles from Raleigh. From the accounts given of the affair, It seems th at the wounded man, who was drunk, w as beating his wife, and had knocked her down when he was shot by his son. There was a hog killing at the Gooch home and a num ber of tbe neighbors were present assisting in the work. Gooch w ent into the house os tensibly to get a pail of lard, and in a few m inutes the noise of a scuffle was heard.

O rien tals as Soldiers. No European nation has succeded In holding or controlling tropical posses sions w ithout the aid of native troops. Moreover, these can be m aintained at a much sm aller cost than white sol diers, not to speak of the great expense of transportation. Two-thirds of the Dutch arm y in Java is composed of native troops; Spain, before the insur rection, had over 13,000 natives doing m ilitary service in the Philippines, and England's success In converting tho Egyptian fellahs into good soldiers is another example of how apparently poor m aterial can be utilized. Queer Conceit. “Snaggs has a queer Idea of college life,’* said one university man to an other. “So?” “Yes; he said yesterday, when I tolc him to get ready for the cane rush th at he came to study and not to mia up in riots.”—Pittsburg Chronicle* Telegraph. LAST OF AN INDIAN TRIPC; . M itchell Sabattls, an old Indian guide' of tbe north woods, is said to have suffered a second stroke of pa ralysis recently, and is fast losing hla. ftren^th. It Is claimed that he Is con siderably over 100 years old, but as he^ floes not know bis age himself, the| question has never been settled. Sftbattls is one of the St. Francis tribe of Bauakee Indians, and the last full-blooded member of the tribe in this country. H e is one of the old la n d m at^ of the days w hen panthers and moose w ere quite plentiful, and when wolves ran wild In packs in thp Adlrondacks. Captain Pete Sabattis and his son, Mitchell, were in the habit of camping summers, but would go into a settle ment winters, making the Long Lake region their headquarters. And M itchell Is now passing his declining [lays w ith his son H arry at the foot of Mount Sabattis, which w as nam ed- for him.

The readjustm ent of the taxes •f the State, upon a basis of twen tieth century progress is deman ded. and tbe people must be shown that low taxes are costly, when sneh t^ e s are levied si'iiply to maintain existing conditions, not to promote and advance every p esent iudnatrial and e<lucatioual Interest. Let the people and every tax- iA rei8t«® t payj, su ® cien tly j^ tax rate, so that the revenne may l»e ^ual in sum total to meet all legitimate expendHures. This is a business no*- n politi cal issue, aud should l>e m«t as sneh, and regnlated in a practi(^l mauner, aud not by any political humbuggeiy. in the guise of busi ness.—New Bern J-'ornal.

If it is expected to initiate a policy of iutimid-dtion, they should re member that the patience of the most conservative has i-s limit?.

Tbeie is grave danger that serious trouble will j g t xeSHjt" if Federal ollicehold^ra continue their present jlOlicy— loiirnal.] O ur friends are greatly exercised over these indictments, and v eil they may. for in Kentucky the Judge has a li^ d y seutenc^ a whole lot of them to the peniten- tiar.'. If these men are not guilty of having violated tbe iaw, they should be ab e to prove it. If they are guilty, they should be punished. M r. Holton is uphold ing the “ majesty of the law” in doing his duty, and our Demo cratic friends should subm it quiet ly to the ngholding of tJie law.

In the m eantim e the brakem en held a short consultation w ith the con- doctor and had concluded th at the bes( course for them w as to quit the train and leave it to-its fate. A couple of the m ale passengers vol unteered to act as brakem an and ton- doctor, and w ith this strange crew the train presently got under way.

On the station platform a group of a hundred mc i w ere grim ly aw aiting the arrival of the train. Its approach had been heralded by its w histle five m inutes before. “If the train slows up, board her, and P'.ill off the engineer,” commanded the bead of the gang, “if she doesn’t stop, shoot a t the scabs, and sm ash all the windows you can I” Suddenly a hoarse shout w ent up. “H ere she comes! Bless me if she ain’t slowin’ down!” cried one. “Heady, boys, w ith yer brickbats!” cried the ringleader, revolver In hand. Leaning far out ot the cab window, his face sm utched w ith coal dust, bis e.ves shining like stars, w as Ben. The president, who had forgotten to re move his kid gloves, stood ju st be hind, shotgun in liand. The revolver w as raised, a hundred stones were poised in the air. Then as the pale, set face of the young engineer showed lip for an instant by the flickering light o t the station lam ps the man w ith the revolver lowered his weapon and sprang forw ard. “Hold on!” he yelled. “It’s Ben!” Bnt there w as no need for the w arning. The men had recognized the lad at the same Instant and w ith one accord their hands dropped. They would have as soon shot their own sons as to-do harm to Ben. So the president had his Christm as w ith his m other after all, and so did Ben, and tbe boy thought It the hap piest Christm as he had ever known.
