The incorporation of an association to erect a memorial in this city to Admiral Schley is a very proper move ment, and the jeople of Maryland should see to it that the association does not lack funds to pat their design into execution. It is the purpose of the association, as announced in The Sun today, to erect' a" triumphal arch commemorative of the achievements of Admiral Schley and bis officers and men at the battle of Santiago. " This arch is to be of . artistic design and placed in some conspicuous position in this city among the people by whom the hero of Santiago is known and be loved. : A place is to be provided on the arch upon which at some future day a statue of ' the Admiral may be erected. - Many of the leading citizens of Baltimore are identified with the as sociation, which assures the success of the movement. ; , As soon as the news of the remakable victory of our navy over the Spanish off Santiago reached the United States the people, knowing that Schley .was there" in command and that he was in the thick of the fight, hailed him as the successful commander and the hero of the most signal victories in history Notwithstanding the machinations of a clique of bureau chiefs and clerks, the people of the whole United States, with that unerring instinct upon which popular government largely rests, have THE ag counties. In the -8upe-1 popular government largely rests, nave Courts o f the state and in J continued to honor Schley down to the present time. And in all the trying times since the conclusion of. the -war, amid all the provocations and all the vituperation and malignity of which he has been the object, in all this time the Admiral has never uttered one word or done one deed which tended in any de cree to diminish the "love and conn dence of the people. Admiral Schley is a son of Maryland and a member of an honored Maryland family which has for jnany generations been identified with tke State. He entered the navy half a century ago and hag given all tliau vaan nf Vila life tn t.hp. nervine of KURT PI RC5 t .CPRVir.K his country. TheKXrd that he has III Hut) ill tu xiiui a wuiuijii iuucdu dent of his great achievement at Santi ago, carried him to the highest rank in the service, and now furnishes a com rdete answer to the charges and ; inn endoes of his enemies. It "1s entirely fittine that Maryland: Schley's native State should see that the memory of his service to the country should be kept alive in imperishable stone. Concord national Bank.

Craven county has within her con fines an astrologer of note in Che person of Isaac Hughes Smith, familiarly known in legislative circles as "the colored gentleman from Craven.'.' Smith is also a noted politician and in Newbera, his home town, runs a bank ing and loan establishent Knowing of the accuracy of - his previous fore casts, 1 aroppea in on him in his pri vate omce the other day and sought knowledge. I had heard the occasion of a banquet given in his honor by Recorder Taylor, in 1892, at Washing ton, D. C, how Isaac told the assembled guests, who were all Beid men, that McKinley would be the Republican nominee and sweep the country. I had heard of his subsequent prediction of McKinley's election for the second term; also of his private notes of warn ing to the President to avoid crowds; that the planets foreboded to His Eicel- ency impending danger and the ake. Co I wmcladed to have him set atrrest this uncertainty as to who would be the next national standard-bearers and which of the parties would triumph in the next j national election. I asked Smith who would be the Democratic nominee in 1898 and quickly came the answer:- ' "David B. HiH, of Albany." "Who the Republican nominee?" "Roosevelt, most assuredly." ' "Now, Smith, which of these gentle men will be elected?" I asked, and in no uncertain tone came the reply: "David BK Hill." "Do you really think so?" "No, sir, I don't think so, I know it; fate has decreed it and no power on earth can prevent it." Emboldened by such podtiveness I asked, "Will Wm. "Jennings Bryan ever be -President?" To my surprise Smith replied: "Yes, in 1912, but all depends upon Bryan's attitude to the Democracy in 1903 and 1907. Fate has decreed that Bryan shall be ' Pres ident in 1912, but it is possible for Bryan's will power to defeat the. decree of fate." . j TO TBS PPBLIO. Capital, .

Elizabeth City Bconomist' A reporter of the Economist called on James Wilcox recently at - the county jail and held quite a lengthy conversa tion with him. Me was looting wen, with his hair nicely brushed and had iust been shaven. He said that his health had been very good all the sum mer. When asked by the reporter if it was not very hot in jail he said some days it was, but when he got very warm he resorted to his bath tub and covered up in water." Wilcox conversed very freely on dif ferent subjects, and seems jolly and in good spirits. He said among other joking remarks, "I intended going down to Nags Head last Sunday on the excursion, but it was so hot 1 didn t want to dress." He was asked if he was annoyed by visitors, and said he didn't mind to have people call that he knew, but did not like for strangers to call just through curiosity. He said he had a card printed ana put on tne corner of his cell with the words, "the side show is closed," and kept it there about a month - for the benefit of strangers. He eats and sleeps well, and says his digestion is very good, and be spends his time mosuy reading, xie said he had read over one hundred and fifty books besides newspapers, since he has been in jail.

So many of the young people write to me about dog days that l mil answer briefly that there are no doer dava. It ia nAthin hnt a atiiwrmtl. E tion that has come down to ns from uto aumeau. . x uo iwg star or oinus 1 has its time Pt appear in the heavens 'and rise and set like other stars, but it is a very irregular time and so what we call dog days may begin the first of July or i many days later. The rising of Sirius in a line with the sun begins now oo the Zd of July and will continue until the 11th of August. Those forty days were believed by the ancients to i . i x a wing very not ana suiay weamer ana many malignant diseases, but this has been disproved by modern astronomy. iot ine appearance of cuius is very uncertain and in the course of time it will rise in the winter. Now a little more about this wonderful star. Yon know that we have eight planets that belong to our solar system. They all revolve around the sun just as the earth does and the nearer the planet is to the sun the faster it travels. Neptune is 16,000,000 miles distant and it takes 165 years to get around. But Sinus is away outside of our solar system and is 120,000,000,000. of miles from ns and gives 400 timet more light than our sun. It is the largest and brightest star in the heavens. It is called the Dog star because it appears to be in the tail of the constellation that the ancients named Major , Canis or the Big Dog. They were a smart people and we still keep their .map of the heavens and their names of the stars, but they had no telescopes and did not know that there were any stars or suns except those we see with the naked eye.-; . ' , But now young people listen. It is now. established and proven that there are millions of stars and solar systems afar off in space and that ours is - the smallest and the most insignificant of them all. We are nothing .and less than nothing in the scale of existence. It has always been a mystery to me why the Creator of the boundless universe, that has no limit, should have, chosen this little world of ours for His 'greatest work, the Creation of man in His own image, a little lower than the angels, man who Binned and fell and was re deemed by the sacrifice of the Son . tf God. . I don't understand it. I cannot comprehend it. This ' little world -is not bigger than atcannon bail compared with some of the planets and stars afar out in space. It has but one little moon that does not eondecend to show us but one side of its anatomy. The other night we went out to Mr. 3 ran ger's beautiful home to look at the full moon through his great telescope that cost $5,000 and is mounted in a -high observatory with a dome that revolves as the earth revolves. It was a mag nificent spectacle but the view of Jupi ter with four moons and Saturn wrth his rainbow ring and seven moons -was much more beautiful and impressive. Of course those planets must be inhab ited, for the Creator would not have surrounded a dead' world with Btich luminous and beautiful satellites. We don't know anything hardly and it fills me with disgust to see young men strutting around like peacocks acting lire they made themselves and' knew everything and expected to live always when the truth is they don't: know where they came from nor where they are going and can't add an hour, or a day to their existence. I have but little hope for a vain or a conceited man and a vain woman is no better. . A conceit ed man is close kin to an idiot and a woman vain of her beauty should some times remember that she had no hand in creating it for it was God given or inherited. "Oh! why should the spirit of, mortal be proud?" Of all the faults of Which humanity is guilty that of self conceit is the last to be . forgiven and the hardest to reform. I ruminated on this yesterday when X read what Roosevelt said in his speech at West Point. The editor who pub lishes it speaks of him as our well meaning but impulsive president. He should have said our "conceited and erratic president." In speaking of the great men whom West Point had grad uated, he said, "I claim to be a his torian and I speak what I know to be true that West Point has turned out more great men and more statesmen than any other institution in the United States." It was self-conceit and ignor ance that provoked such a monstrous absurdity, for Colonel Sprague, of Yale college, has recently challenged him to the proof and has shown beyond all cavil that Yale can number 10 times the great men that West Point can number. Among them 1,383 ministers of the gospel 78 justices of supreme courts, 17 chief justices, 546 doctors, 39 governors of Btates and 38 United States senators besides these xaie has sent forthjm army of educators, established 480 colleges, 160 for women and 8,000 high schools while West roint has sent out none but soldiers. r Teddy ought to be ashamed of him self, but he will not be. He is not yet aahamed that in his so-called history he called Mr. Davis an . arch traitor and repudiator and told what he did when governor of Mississippi, etc. His atten tion has been called to these malignant calumnies againat a great statesman and whose curriculum at .West Point that he ordained when secretary of war is still in force and who never was a member of the legislature nor governor No, he is too' conceited decided! to take back anything or to apologize for his mistakes. The man he slander ed was dead when he published those lies, but his widow lives and there are thousands- of veterans all over . the south who cherish his memory and who now hold his slanderer in supreme contempt. Yet he claims to be a his torian! When a gentleman finds' that he has unwittingly wronged another he hastens to apologize,'. but a conceited idiot rolls the morsel under his tongue and chews it as a cow chews and swal- llows her cud. He feeds on his con ceit -, ' UnXAKP. P. a AU hail to Evan Howell The soldier, the editor, the friend in need. I have known him intimately since his childhood.

Once more it has been proven that whisky, administered in . the right cause, is a good thing. A horse be longing to John Joyce, driver of a city garbage wagon, lay down in an alley in the rear of Bhodes avenue, near Thir ty -fifth street, to die.; In a few mo ments the faithful animal was to all in tents and purposes, dead; "While the bereaved owner was seeking a telephone to summon the horse ambulance to carry away his departed steed, a sa loonkeeper at the rear of whose place the dead horse lay, thought he would try an experiment, j He believed the horse still alive, but in a comatose con dition, so he poured a pint -of whisky down the animaTs throat, thereby pro ducing startling results. The whisky seemed to galvanize the corpse, and with all the agility and spirit of a colt it got to its feet and ran away.

After the Begulators were defeated, their enemies, determined to hunt them down, were unable to collect bands aumcient for the purpose which did not include many secret friends of the fugitives to whom they rarely failed to give timely warning by which they might escape. We have as a result of this condition many- stories of j daring deeds and fortitude thrilling with in terest and having a certain historical value.

In the case of the traitors Providence clearly showed a band by sending upon them the evils they bad invoked upon their own beads by the betrayal of com panions.
