The next paper to stand out as a inilepopt in the shaping of a national volley if the message to congress by president Monroe proclaiming the Hon jop Poetrine. The original message is jn the files of the senate In the capitol 1,'nilding at Washington. Gettysburg Address "Thp Gettysburg address of Lincoln, Fcrawled in longhand, is in the library of congress, at Washington. This ad dress, now considered one of the great ..rations of the world, attracted little attention when It was delivered. In the newspaper reports of the following day It was subordinated to the long, flow gneech of Edward Everett, deliv- .,,'nA frnm the same platform. The spppch was published, however, an lm nnrtsnt fact: for by the time of the Civil war and to a rapidly increasing extent since, newspapers by multiply !ne copies of important documents have made their content safe from de struction even thoueh the prized orig inals may be lost. By still another step, applied science "has multiplied the form nf famous records as well as their wording. Because of the photo praphic copies that have been made. today even a school child may re as familiar with the appearance of the constitution or the Declaration of In dependence as the favored few who lave looked upon the treasured origi nals. "Lincoln's Emancipation Proclama tion is in the library of the state de partment in Washington, and there too sue all the. treaties entered into by the I'nited States, from that of 1778 with Ihe French and that of 1783 which closed the Revolution, down to the T)psnt. Among these perhaps the most itteresting are those which have con tributed to the great territorial growth l the country. "There is the treaty of 1803 with France which arranged for what is pmbahly the greatest real estate 'deal' la history the Louisiana. Purchase. There is the, treaty with Spain, which 'iflded Florida to the new republic; and the uncompleted treaty with the inde--nrlent republic of Texas which led ; the only instance in which a sepa rate nation has merged Itself with the Vnited States. Near them in ttfe flies if the state department ere the trea ties with Mexico adding to the United states California and the other terri tory west of Texas and south of Ore eon; the treaty with Great Britain add ing Oregon;" the treaty with Russia ar ousing for the second greatest pur chase, of territory, the Alaska Pur chase,; and the treaties which have re nted in bringing Hawaii, the Philip pines. "Porto Rico, Guam, and the Vir gin Islands under the American flag." By WILLIAM I MALLARAR, International New Service Staff Cor v . respondent LONDON, Feb. 12. New light is! thrown on the personality of ex-Empress Eugenie of Prance 'in the History of her life, which has just been pub lished. ' , Count de Soissons is the author end he calls his work "The True Story of Empress Eugenie." , "She was often to be seen in the streets of Maarld smoking a cigarette or even a cigar," says the writer. Dressed in fancy costumes of her own invention, she was constantly at thea ters and bull fights, flirting with the toreadors, whom she would present with, red caps embroidered in gold." To the present . srane,rn.tirn irM , - v l r A. Vs pictures Eugenie as a "Mother of Sor rows" an aged and pathetic figure1 sorrowing for her son killed in Zulu land and for the past glories of the French monarchy this book will come as somewhat of a shock. The author has compiled his records from a research of several months in the British museum from a mass of contemporary evidence and the works of many writers on "the same subject, and he has treated the late empress strictly as an historical figure which one iias the right to judge rather than a personality deserving only of sympathy. In her younger days in Madrid Eu genie was a. recognized queen of beauty, impetuous, restless and uncdn ventional, a madcap who would slide down bannisters. In spite of the slan ders, however, which were later level led at her, the historian declares that there was nothing in her conduct more than was extravagant and imprudent. ' One tale told of her is that on one of the many occasions when she forgot she was empress she was in the forest with a number of ladles. She tucked her skirts between her legs and shout ing "Follow me who can" slid down the smooth slope of a bank in front of her. Her followers, of course, imitated her, and the result was the "pic turesque if not edifying spectacle of court ladles tumbling oyer each other at the foot of the hill; petticoats flying and hair dishevelled," to quote the book. We see her dabbing in spiritualism, we see her regent of France, then as a fugitive to England and. lastly, as the woman of memories who lived at Chislehurst brooding over her past. FORWARD INVITATION TO SENATOR JAMES WATSON Senator to. Make Known De cision to Visit in Few Days The invitation extended Senator James E. Watson, of Indiana, by Stone wall lodge No. 1. Knights of Pythias, the Klwanis club and other organisa zations to stop over in Wilmington while en route to Washington from. Florida, where he is now spending some time, has been forwarded the senator " by his secretary, John F. Hayes, according to a communication received here yesterday by R. D. Christ- man, an official of the K. of P. lodge. "I wish to acknowledge receipt oi your telegram to Senator Watson in viting him to visit the city oi Wil mington on his return from Florida," reads the letter from Secretary Hayes, adding "your courteous Invitation will be forwarded- to him and I trust ne may find it convenient to accept." Senator Watson is a member of the committee on interstate commerce, and for that reason alone, special signifi cance attaches a visit to- Wilmington by him. Seventeen senators compose this committee, which is headed by Albert B. Cummins, of Iowa. Southern senators on the committee are Ellison D. Smith, South Carolina; Oscar W. Underwood. Alabama; Augustus O. Stanley, Kentucky. Definite assurance from Senator Wat son as to whether he can visit Wil mington is ' expected within the next few days. Written by lHAROKRT REX for the InternMtlanxil Kem Ser-rtee NEW YORK, FeT. 12. She's had the saddest Job in New York for all of ten years, and has dispensed sympathy and good cheer to thousands In that time. Now she's going to spend the rest of her life making things bright and cheerful for one fortunate man. This is Miss Marlon Sullivan, "offi cial comfortress" of Belle vue hospital. who, in her job of dispensing death certificates, has also taken advantage or tne opportunity afforded to sympa thlze with bereaved ones, and give a human touch to the machinery of a great hospital. Miss Sullivan is leaving soon to be married. 'Iv really done nothing but my duty," demurred Miss Sullivan when 1 saw her at Bellevue. "About a dozen people a day come here to get the cer tificates -and they are sorrowful and sad what can anyone do iutx try to comfort them?" Sitting at her official desk, wearing a simple dark skirt, with blouse and a pale 'blue, sweater that matches her eyes, Miss Sullivan looks like anything but -a handmaiden of the Fates when they choose to measure life with their yardsticks and snip If. off. Refuses to Become AKorbld 'Teople have asked me if I didn't get very much depressed. I don't. I feel that it - is best for me to be as cheerful as .possible nd try to raise the spirits of the saddened relatives Land friends who come to me," she said. Maybe some persons would get mor bid in such a job, but I never allow myself to feel that way about it. I remember that it is my place to be pleased and consoling even though I feel as sad about the case as the rela tives do." Picture the hospital death, that of the patient who dies in a ward. Screens are hastily- drawn about the death bed. Soon the loody is wheeled out. into an other part of the hospital. Everything Is so done that there "will be as little as possible to disturb adjoining pa tients. The-procedure fs somewhat sim ilar in the case of the private room pa tient. . Relatives or friends, who have been notified to visit a dying patient, who witness the shuffling out of a life and the body's hurried departure from the hospital, have reached the depths of despair. What effect would constant associa tion with the saddened and heartsick have upon a bright, happy younjr girl? That depends on the girl, is the obvi ous answer. And that is the opinion of Miss Sul livan. With the "saddest Job in New York" she has managed to preserve a hearty laugh to greet the idea that she is heroic oranything of that sort. Sorry to Leave Hoapfttal "I feel rather sad about leaving Bellevue," she said, "rather than sad afbout anything connected with the Job Itself. Everyone has been so nice and cheerful here that I couldn't possibly not like the work. "Isn't it funny that they say I "know more undertakers than any girl in New York.' I do know a few, but not so terribly many." . ' CHARITIES SPENT $244 DURING MONTH JANUARY Report Made Yesterday" Showed Expenses Exceeded Income (Special to The Star) LUMBERTON, Feb. 12. The baby whisky stfll was recently captured In the southern part of Lumberton. The plant Is a one-gallon capacity, 1921 model outfit. The still proper, was made of a smaii powder can. the can off the. hub of- a Chevrolet auto being used as a cap for the still, a Ford feed pipe for a worm and a small Karo syrup bucket for a. cooler. It is thought the plant was used n connection with a cook stove. The still was located be side Lumbar river by a local citizen. It is a dandy outfit and has the smell of whisky on it. . A Robeson couple were married twice in three days' time. The couple ran away and were married in Dillon county. South Carolina, on Saturday. When they returned as husband and I wife, the bride s father insisted that they be re-married, and they were. The second marriage was solemnized here Monday afternoon, license having been bought in the usual manner. Large crowds have, attended the cot ton meetings which have been held in practically every town in Robeson county this week. The meetings were called for the purpose of talking acre age reduction and the sentiment of a great reduction m the cotton acreage and also in the use of commercial fer tilizer is strong. The meetings have been addressed by O. O. Dukes, county farm demonstrator, and others. Com mittees will make a house-to-house canvas in the various townships to se cure pledges for cotton acreage deduc tion. A movement is on foot to consolidate a number of rural school districts in Robeson. If the plans go through bonds will be voted and adequate buildings- erected. It is planned to erect one building at Orrum to take care of seveji districts with the use of trucks. The school at Orrum is one of the four state, high schools in the county. It is learned that the home demon stration work will not be discontinued in Robeson. The senator and represen tatives from Ro-beson asked for an. ex pression of the people about discon tinuing the farm and home demonstra tion agents, and 90 per cent of the an swers favored the continuance of the home demonstration work, while about 60 per cent favored the continuance of the farm demonstrator. It is not ex pected that the work of either agency will be done away with. The annual meeting of the directors of the LaFayette Mutual Life Insur ance company, with headquarters here, was held Wednesday. The officers re port for the year 1920 showed that the company had made substantial gains, assets increasing 88 per cent, reserve 30 per cent and insurance in force 20 per cent. The past week has beenr unusually rainy in this section. While no un usual heavy rain's have fallen, the con tinued fall has caused the land to be come very wet and the water in Lum ber river is rising, fast, with prospects for a freshet. No fertilizer has yet been shipped to Lumberton and indications are that the 1 farmers of Robeson will use very little J commercial fertilizer this year. Last year the railroads were blocked with fertilizer by the first of January and quite a bit of it was moved in Decem ber of 1919. Very few. if any, fertilizer .dealers in this county have made any contracts, it Is said.

FOARD TENDERED FAREWELL BANQUET BY ASSOCIATES VETERANS TO MEET A meeting of the Confederate vet erans of the city and section was called for this afternoon at 4 o'clock at the armory last night by General Metts. EveTy veteran in the city is urged to attend this session. H. Gilbert Foard has returned from Raleigh where, several days ago, he was tendered a farewell banquet by the special agents of the various in surance companies in North Carolina. Mr. Foard will leave in a short time for New York to assume the duties of assistant secretary of the Home In surance company. Mr. Foard was presented with a handsome silver pitcher as a token of the esteem in which he is held by the insurance men of this state, and carved on the pitcher is the following: "To H. Gilbert Foard, from the boys down home." Bob Hayes, president of the North Carolina Fire Prevention and Forest Conservation association, acted as toastmaster, and acquitted himself ad mirably. He likened the leaVetaking of Mr. Foard to the man who had gone to heaven. Another man entered heaven, and asked St. Peter: .'Who is that man chained to that pillar over yonder?' St. Peter replied: That's a fellow from North Carolina, and we have to keep him chained for fear that he'll break out of heaven and return to North Carolina.' " There were a number of Insurance meft present at the banquet, attesting the high regard in which Mr. Foard is held by the men in the insurance field in this state.
