Washington D. C. April 12.— Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, the noted Pres byterian divine, died at 9 o’clock to night, at his residence, in this city. It had been evident for some days that there was no hope of recovery and tho attending physicians so in formed the family, The patient gradually grew weaker until life passed away so quietly that even the members of the family, all of whom were watching at the bedside, hard ly knew that he had gone. SKETCH OF HIS LIFE. Thomas DeWitt Talmage was born in tiie State ef New Jersey in 1832. He graduated at New Lork Uuiver- aity and later stated theology at New Brunswick. He was called to the Reformed Presbyterian Church ^ at Syracuse, N: Y., in 1859. From 1862to 18G9 he was located in Phila delphia. In the latter -year he be gan his connection with the Brook lyn Central Presbyterian Church. Here he made such a reprtation as an orator and preachcr that people flocked to hear him. An immense ^‘Tabernacle” was built'in 1870, but was destroyed by fire two years la ter. In 1874 a new building of brick and stone was dedicated. It was of Gothic architecture and had a seat ing capacity of 4,600. This was de stroyed also by fire in 1889, but was rebuilt. A great debt had been in volved however, and it was owin^ to some misunderstanding about that eharges of falsehood and dishonora ble business conduct .were brought against Mr. Talmage before the Brooklyn Presbytery. He was ac quitted and the decision was sus tained.. The Tabernacle was for the third time time burned in 1894, after- which Dr.Talmage resigned the pas torate sndaccepted a call to a church n Washington, where he has preach ed ever since. Dr. Talmage was one of the most eloquent men that ever adorned the American pulpit. There was such demand for his sermons that they syndicated and published all over the United States. The Country papers especially ran these sermons, and in this way Dr. Talmage became the best known minister in the country. There is hardly a Christian home in the whole land where he was un known, and his death will cause gen uine regret to thousands. He wasnoless celebrated as a lectur er, and when he made a tour of the country, thousands flocked to heaa him. His lecture on “The Bright Side of Things” is one of the best known and most widely admired. Dr. Talmage was for a number of years editor of the Ohristian Work and u the author of various publi cations. Among these are the A1 moud Tree in Blossom; Crumbs of Sweft Up; Abominations of Modern Society; Sports That Kill; Every Day Religious; From tho Pyramaids to the Aoropolis and From Manger to Til/one. MEMORIAL PAY. The Ladies* Con%derate Memorial Association, of New Orleans, is en deavoring to have all the Southern States select a. common memorial day apon which the dead heroes of the Confederacy are to be remem bered. At present Florida, Georgia and Alabama decorate graves on April 26; North and South Carolina, on May 10, and Tennessee, on May 9. Louisiana has already shown honors to the dead. There is a lack of unanimity among the States that made up the Confederacy, and the adoption of a day as the Southern Memorial Day is now' urged, and is hoped that some action will taken at the Confederate reunion which meets s6on at Dallas. The ladies of the Memorial Asso ciation of New Orleans invite all the States to accept June 3rd Southern Memorial Day. This day is the anniversary of the death Jefferson Davis, the first and only President of the Confederacy, the suggestion is certaiuly a good one. There is no reason at any rate why there should not be a Southern Memorial Day. If the reunion ac cepts June 3, there will be little trouble in securing its adop'tion wherever it is custovnary to honor the memory of the Confederate dead, The proposition deserves considera' tion, and no doubt it will receive at Dallas.—6oldsbo'*o Argus. BETTER SC H 0 O L HOUSES NEEDED. “I am not afraid to eontrast the public schools of Wake with any county in the Slate,*^«aid County Superintendent ClemCTts yesterday, “We will have an average of five and a half months this year. We need some improvement in the sehool houses aad we vould like to pay some of onr^tdiers better salaries. But with better hOsBs the pnblie schools in Wake could be grc#e4: and made to fill the need.” Thus spoke Rev. W. G. Clements, superintendent-oC pnblie schools Wake eonnty, yesterday. Recently the people of Greens boro, by voluntary eontribntion raised ^,000 to build better schoo' houses ic -.the mral districts of Guilford county. Immediately Sec retary Butteriek of the new Educa tional Board, agreed to contribute an equal sum for the same pur^se, the districts voting a local tax to have the preference. There are at least half a dozen school districts in Wake county that ought to vote this local tax, and Raleigh ought to and would help in building better school houses for such districts. DIDN’T HAPPEN IN NORTH CAROLINA. A North Carolina editor wrote local item in which he undertook to say that the gentle breast of a fair deuizau of the town was for good cause “filled with rage” But the types changed “rage torags”and the editor is now traveling for his health. THE GREAT DISMAL SWAMP Of Virginia is a breeding ground of Malaria germs. So is low, wet or marshy ground everywhere. These germs cause weakness, chills and fever, aches in the bones and mus cles, and may induce dangerous mal Rdies. But Electric Bitters never fail to destroy them and cure mala rial troubles. They will surely pre vent typhoid. “We tried many rero edies for Malaria and Stomach and Liver troubles,” writes John Char lesion, of Ityesville, O., “but never found anything as good as Electric Jno.

CHANGES at SOLDIER’S HOME A change has been made in the position of the Reade MemorialChap- el at the Soldier’sHome with a view to more effective landscape gardening. The building has been changed to the north and set back on a line with the other new buildings. This makes * great improvement,—News and Observer. A DOCTOR’S BAD PLIGHT “Two years ago, as a result of severe cold, 1 lost my voice,” writes Dr. M. L. Scarbrough, of Hebron, Ohio, “then began an obstinate «ough. Every remedy known to me as a practicing physician for 35 years, failed, and I daily grew worse.

THE NEGRO CONVENTION. About one hundred and fifty ne groes were present at the conven tion held at Raleigh yesterday. The resolutions and proceedings appear elsewhere. They denounce the suf frage restrictions, the separate car laws, and the betrayal of the negroes by the men elevated to office by their votes, and counsel the negroes to take active part in the primaries and convention of the Republican party. They also urge the negroes to be industrious and economical to the end that they may buy homes and also advise them to become farmers. If the negroes carry out their reso^ lution to be represented in the Re publican State Convention, in the face of the order of the revenue doodle, that the Greensboro Conven- tion^must be “Lily White” there will bo some tun WAY TO WEALTH. Printer’s ink has made more for tunes than hive ever been made on all tho stock exchanges and in all the gold mines in the world. Advertisements are read while the advertisers sleep. Advertising is the philosopher’s stone that turnes a man’s wares gold. A few gallons of printer’s ink spread over a newspaper, will equal the services of an army of drum mers. The man who advertises^ in dull times, will never feel dull times Go where it will pay you the best Deal with the brightest, pushiest the wide-awake—or don’t deal at all MORE THAN THEIR “DEW” A “subscriber” asks us to print the poem “Oh. Dewey Was the Morning,” written by the new com- misioner of pensions. It is short and is as follows: “Oh Dewey was the morning Upon the first ot May, And Dewey was the Admiral Down in Manilla bay; And Dewey were the regent’s eyes, ■^Them” orbs of royal blue. And Dewey feel discouragedf I Dow not think we Dew.” A lawyer who could consent to known as the author of such'dogge rel may be depended upon as pen sion commissioner to give the pen- sion-grabbers more than their “ Dew” NEW RAILROAD., Preliminary surveys have been made of a railroad to be run from Raleigh to the deep water at Wash ington via Wilson. *Xhe parties who are interested in the road are confi dent that it will be built, thus giv ing Wilson a competing line of railroad. The Raleigh Times crowds g uch wisdom in the following half dozen lines: “A city must be advertised just as any other ptogressiye corpo ration, and the best advertisement any city can have is the enthusiastic work of her own citizens. The city which helps itselt will be helped.” The cigar trust is said to be sell ing iis five cent goods in Winston at half price in order to down a local manufacturer,and yet the tmst man agers would doubtless tell you that youug man with a fair aniount of en ergy and small capital stands a bet ter chance now than at any time in the country’s history. It may be so, but he receives little encouragement from those who are already at the top. -Durham Herald. Some merchants don’t look at newspaper advertising right. They regard it as an expense. Advertis ing is as much an investment as store room, clerk hire, etc. Any in vestment may fail to be profitable, but there is less danger of failure to make a profit from judicious ad vertising than from other invest ments. To get the best results from advertising some consideration should be giyen to it just like other features of your business. You would not expect to plant a crop and get the best results by paying no further attention to it; neither should you neglect your advertising. —Kinston Free Press. ANTIfiTAM. I’ve wandered o'er Antietara, John, And stood where ftoe met foe Upm thelleld of MarylaiMi . So many jears ago. The eirelinir liUls rise jast the sam^ Aslbey did, on that day, When yon were figntinft Uae old boy, *And I was fl^tinif The wta^g stream roM *aeath the Where Burnside won his hime; The locust trees upon the ridge Beyond are these the same. The birds were singing mid the ‘Twas bullets on that day When you were fighting blae. old, boT, And I wa* fighting gray. I saw again the Dunker church That stood beside the wood. Where Hooker made that Jamons charsre That Hill so well withstood, *Tis scarred and marred by war and time As we are, J(An, today. For you were fighting blue, old boy As I was fighting gray. I stood beneath the signal tree Where I that day was laid, * An^twas your arms, old b^, that brought Me to this friendly shade, ’Tho leaves are gone and limbs are bare, Its heart is true to-day As yours was then, *tho fighting blue, ^ To me, though fighting gray. I marked the spot where Mansfield feU— Where Richardson was slain Wtth Stark and Douglass mid the com. And Brand amid the grain. Their names are sacred to us John, They led us in the fray, When you were fighting northern blue, And 1 was fighting gray. I thought of Burnside, Hooker, Meade, Of Sedgewick, old and brave; Of Stonewall Jackson'tried and true That strove the day to save, I bared my head, they rest in peace. Each one has passed away. Death musters those who wore the blue With those who wore the gray. The old Pry mansion rears its wail Beside Antietam’s stream, And far away along the south. I saw the tombstones gleam. They mark each plafte whei a iiitt e Mac And Robert Lee that day Made proud the north though wear ing blue. And south, though wearing gray. Yes, John, it gave me joy to stand Where we once fiercely fought. The nation now is one again— The lesson has been taught. Sweet peace doth fair Antietam crown, And we can say to-day We’re friends, ’tho one was fighting blue And one was fighting gray.—Sel. coCD'drwks BBIMG rOVB BB8T GIBL AMD SET ’EM 10 Ul* COCA^^ THE MOST POPULAR COLO DBINK.
