St. Petersburg, Aug. 15 Acting ap parently with a definite plan and at a signal, the terrorists and the revo lutionists today inaugurated a carni val of murderous attacks with bombs and revolvers on the police and troops in various cities in Poland, echoes of which are heard from Samara, Ufa, Yalta, Kiev and even as far away as Chita, where Acting Chief of Police Gorpinehe nko was slain almost on his own doorsteps. The revolutionist campaign tlamed out with especial virulence at Warsaw, where over a score were slain in the streets and many more were wounded. Among the killed, according to the lat est officii! advices, were two sergeants of polio eight pntroinen, three gen darms, rive, soldi, rs, a Hebrew mer chant :iv.d a woman. Policemen and soldiers were shot down like rabbits, and their assailants, who traveled in small bands, almost all eseap' d among the terrorized populace. Bombs were employed in the attack on the police .station of the Volsk precinct in War saw, where a sergeant, two patrolmen and a soldier were wounded. Professor George II. Blakeslee, of Clarke University, Worcester, Mass., was arrest"-! near Yolokamsk yester day as a suspicious character, although iie had a certificate of identity from the American consul general, Mr. Smith, of Moscow. He was released by order of the Governor General. Take the "Boys" Cut on a Coon Hunt For some time past a number of i FOiyO young men of the city have been after Worst in Years. Kli.abeth City. IS. C Aug. '. A storm which the oldest residents pro nounce to be the worst in years visited this town last evening. The rain came down in a regular torrent and count v were Hooded' tation was very great in the county bridges were carried away. A rather rough time was ex perienced on the Sound.

John and Claud Grantham are old hands at the business and knowing the young "tenderfoots" would squeel, the3 desisted for a time, but finals yielded to repeated persuasion. Knowing the swamps and low grounds were overflowed with water, which would be an opportune time to give the boys a dose never to be for gotten, John and Claud called up their six thoroughbred dogs, and notifying the party Messrs. John Dortch, Claud Grantham, "Dick" Freeman, Leonard Udwards, Kmmett Gulley and John King were soon off on a coon hunt. As the party proceeded on their journey, everything was laughter and merriment the "boys" were beside themselves with joy at the thought ol an opportunity to go hunting with the two old "warriors," who usually"bag" coon and o 'possum galore, and for every ten steps first Leonard Edwards then "Dick" Freeman would yell to be heard clear to town and this of course inspired the dogs to greater activity, which were by this time no less than 3 miles in the wood. After a two hours hunt through mud and water, briars and dense woods, the dogs had done nothing and it was plainly observable that some of the "boys" were getting mighty tired, while John winked at Claud and sped on. At length, when about five miles from town, the dogs struck a trail and this ! somewhat relieved the monotony, for no one had spoken for full 15 minutes I John and Claud were getting tired, too. 1 When the old hound struck up and ! was followed by the five younger ones, mere was iiiusiti m the air and some one gave two or three keen hollows and everybody made a break in the direc tion of the dogs'and after a lively chase, during which they were scratched by ; briars and covered with mud, the dogs ; lost the track and the whole fix found ! themselves in a swamp, surrounded bv and the city j , . , ... ... . , , , ! mud and water, with notmng but Cy rhe procipi- ; , , ,. , , , Sickness, CAIi For Water and Overpower Keeper.

Two "trusties" at the stockade were locked in by the men who ransacked the guards rooms, donned civilian clothes and escaped into the nearby swamps. The men, contrary to rules, were not chained in the stockade. The trusties broke out and spread the alarm, A sheriff's Posse is scouring woods with bloodhounds. the A SHREWD SWINDLER. At many points 1 here the fun began: John Dortch led with a "Come on, boys", while Claud Grantham tried to folio w.

P. Dickerson, of Mount Olive, and Avho.Avas subsequently re leased from custody after reimbursing Mr. Dickerson for his loss, turns out to be a shreAvd and scheming rascal. Since his release Chief Freeman has received information that he has been obtaining. money in a like manner at several other near by towns. At Fayette ville he- succeeded in de frauding a gentleman by the- name of Jones, out of 80, and at Apex he secured $35, 25 from Dr. R. , W. Sv-. vens, of that place, and ?10 'from a gentleman whose name we did not learn. Young Lasiter is an apt conversa tionalist, dresses Avell and apparently is a polished young gentleman Avhose peculiar magnetism easily Avins friends who would not for a moment suspect him to be the rascal that he really is. He claimed to be a member in good standing of the Junior Order, and several of the members here interested themselves in him, until he refused to stand trial and establish his in nocence, Avhen they became suspicious and refused to aid him further. II. o seemed indifferent to his arrest and imprisonment in the guard house, and is one of those kind of felloAvs that readily gains one's sympathy, and so ay ell did he play his little game, that even the officers did not think him guilty.

Hood Co., Lowell, Mass. If Made t7 Hood It's Uood. A Word For The Great Army ol Peo ple Who do Their Duty. Portland Oregonian. If there is one think more than an other that the Avorld needs to learn in these lush and flashy days, it is the heroism of the commonplace. The Avorkship of success, of wealth, of high jdaee, of jiOAver, of fashion, of social distinction; haA e all operated to blind our eyes to the essentinl nobility of the man Avho goes quietly about his busi ness, ierlorms the duties of citizenship in an unobstrusive Avay, takes care of his Avife and children, jiays his taxes honestly, is kind to his neighbors, and is not merely content, but glad to keeji out of the world's gaze. Lowell A'rote of one such woman: Yet in herself she dwelleth not, Although no home Avere half so fair, Xo simjde duty is forgot, Life has no dim and lovely sjiot That doth not in her sunshine share. She doeth little kindnesses Which most leave undone, or desjiise; For naught that sets our hearts at ease, And giveth haiminess or peace, Is loAA'-esteemed in her eyes. She hath no scorn of common things And though she seem of other birth, Pound us her heart entwines and clings, And jiatiently she folds her Avings To tread the humble jath of earth. Blessing she is. God made her so. And deeds of A'eek-day holiness, Fall from her noiseless as the snow. Nor hath she ever chanced to knoAv That aught Avere easier than to bless We, most of us, look far off for our heroes. Carlyle found them in great generals, great literary men, great joets and great prophets. Yet the London of his own day was full of them. He even failed to recognize the hero in Charles Lamb. It is so Avith men gen erall3r. We look for the unusual, the abnormal We even glorify the bad, pro Aided their hardness has the jroj)er touch of romance. We have builded a sohool of literature,around such scound rels, as "Raffles," and rejoice Avhen the roguo escapes the consequence of his own knavery, while the Avorld's great servants ro unrecognized and unre- warded. j It ought to be our business in this j country to dignify the average the so- I called common man. For it is lie that! keeps the worldmoving.and moving in the right direction. He is the burden bearer, the duty-doer. It is on him that Ave must dejend the crisis. The idea that he should be set aside for every millionair. vulgarian that lifts his head aboA e the mire in Avhieh he was bred is intolerable. It is to the common soldier, the common toiler, that Ave must ajpeal Avhen there is desperate Avork afoot. We read in the papers of the "sports" avIio are becoming so offensiA'ely jrominent, yet no members of this class eA-er lift their hands in be half cf their country. The novelist and the joet haA e throAvn a golden mist around the "far country" known as Bohemia, and yet its very existence is jieriieus of civilization, and the souis of men and women. We hear much of the"artistis temperament," perament," i i that temperament, if there is nothing j else, is not capable of great service : to mankind. j But of the sober, dusty and bemired j ! drudges aa1io toil that the Avorld may liA-e, who fulfill "the hiAv and the jro- j phets ," and Avho die uncomplainingly j in the harness after haA'ing made the j Avhole of humanity their debtor Avhere is the laureate to celebrate their glorious fame? Old Walt Whitman is the only jioet as far as Ave can recall, Avho has fittingly recognized the rank and file of the army of jirogress. It is time for us to clear our A ision, time to see things as they are. We ought to see that the man in high places A ery often oavcs his commanding height to the jilatform on Avhieh he stands. Men must be judg ed not by the greatness of their opjsor tunities, but by the A ay in Avhieh they use those Avho come to them no matter Iioav small they may be. If this coun try is pledged to any AA'orshij? at all it is to that of the aA erage man. Truly AAe need to get ourselA es a new sujjjdy of ideals need to learn what is really valuable in life on this planet. The childish habit that so many of us ha"e of AA orshipping things merely be cause they are big, or neAA' or startling, or AAricked, must be OA'ercome. We need poets and novelists whom Avill develop in us a sense of right values who glorify the average man andcroAA-n him in the sight of the world as its master and sa-ior. The hero is the man Avho works his passage, pays his Avay, injures no, one does his duty and a little more, and does not wander far from the path betAveen his home and his office. And he is all the more a hero because he is not conscious of be ing one. It is not for his sake, but for the sake of the rest of us that he should be honored. He asks no reAvard and craA'es no notice. But it is necessary that the Avorld should see in him the true ideal and that the romance, the beauty and the goA-er of life should be made clear to all. Anent the Peek-a-Boo. Greensboro Industrial NeA-s. When entering ujjon a discussion of such simjde and commonplace subjects as the tariff, the Isthmian canal or the national currency Ave are buoyed uji by a feeling of familiarity Avith the matter under discussion. There are other great problems, hoAV ever, Avhieh Ave ajiproach Avith fear and trembling, Avell knoAving that it is only blind temerity that jjromjits us to so much as mention the matter. With such a feeling do AAe assemble ur meditations jjreparatory to the task of enunciating our opinion upon the great sociological problem of the age the'Avinsome, alluring, evasi-e jieek-a-boo Avaist. What risions the Avords otill up! An expanse of lace Avith bits of cloth scat tered here and there in artistic disorder, but in such a way as not too strong! 3 to divert the attention a knot of rib bon, jierhaps a delicate pink, jerhaps a pensive blue, hiding but not hidden be hind the lace. We feel Ave are groAving eloquent, but pause for fear Ave may grow indiscreet. But av hence came this latest creation in feminine ajparel if iapjarel be the projer term to use? We have honored the man aa'Iio invented the X-rays; Avhy then do Ave not search out and honor the man who Avent a step further and enabled us to see without the inter vention of an elaborate ajjaratus? It is true we do not even knoAv his name, but such has ever been the manner in Avhieh the Avorld has rejaid its bene factors. Some stern-faced old sisters or brothers may inveigh against 'youthful femininity adorning itself in the jieek-a-boo waist, but we see no force in their argument. They seem to base their reasoning upon the supposition that the peek-a-boo Avaist is :an article of clothing, whereas Ave take it to be simjdy an ornament that is intended to beautify and adorn. That it should logically lie considered a jiart of the scheme to furnish jirotection against the seasons, or satisfy the demands of Mother Grundy we do not concede. If, hoAveA-er, such be its mission, that mission has resulted in abject and utter failure. Many are its friends and numerous are its enemies. Its banishment caused a strike in a big Ncav York dejiartment store; its jjresence threatens to become a disturbing clement in A arious locali ties. That the subject is too vast for our limited intellect, too elusi-e for our clumsy powers of exjjression, Ave freely concede; but perhaps a mind that can tell Avhat is a Democrat, Avhy a rabbit Avobbles its nose, or Avhen do a jig be come a hog, can tell us what is the genesis and Avhat the destiny of the peek-a-boo waist, and if so, Avhy. We nause for an answer. Future Gambling Mnst Go. Kaleigh Xews-Observer: Gambling in futures is the cause of the downfall of most men Avho "go Avrong" Avith the money of other folks. The North Carolina Legislature shut uj the bucket shops, Georgia 1'olloAved, and noAV since Chisholm stole 97,000 from a Birmingham bank, the city council by a AOte of l( to 2 decide to A ote against the issuance of license to any commission house dealing in futures. It is the most dangerous and insidi ous form of gambling and lures many eajiable men to their destruction. HiS Death Was Instant. Wilmington Aug. 10 Alex F.
