A WIFE'S DEVOTION.
SHOWN TO IIB HUSBAND, CAPT.
WILLIAM VAN SCIIAICK.
IMPRISONED AND PARDONED.
"Wherefore They Are No More Twain,
But One Flesh. What Therefore God
Hath Joined Together, Let not Man
Put Asunder." Matt. 19:6.
Captain illiam an Sehaiek, who
wan in charge of the unfortunate (ten
era! Sioi'iun when she burned, destroy
ing more than a thousand precious lives
has just been pardoned after having
"spent three years in the prison at King
Sing, N. V. For the overloading and
improper equipment of his boat and the
fearful disaster, following lie was sent
to the penitentiary for ten years, but
for conspicuous good behaviour he was
pardoned after three years' incarcera
tion. Uo is an old man seventy-five,
brokon in health and in spirit by the
tragedy and the disgrace, and against
the dark background of his sorrow and
. wreckage is the beautiful picture of the
love and devotion of his young wife for
him. She said: "He comes back to me
:ui old man. Hut he is my husband. I
will never leave him. He has. nothing,
but he has me. He is not able, to work,
and he shall not work. I can work, and
he sIihII iieor suffer. 1 love him and
will care for him." In these days
when there are so many separations and
.divorces and loose and false notions of
matrimony, it is a refreshing thing toi
see this young wife, with the tide, of
life beating high, clinging to the man to
whom she gave herself in marriage and
counting the marital contract a solemn'
engagement for life. In these days,
when so many, including some of the
leaders in society;-by their actions count
marri:ie as a cold business engagement
for money, or a matter of economy, or
a temporary alliance, or a fickle en
chantment, this wife of the steamboat!
captain emphasizes the good old fash
ioned idea of the undying devotion
which husbands and wives should have!
for- each other. The false notion of;
marriage claims a larger space in the
newspapers and acts most brazenly tie
fore the footlights, but, fortunately for
American institutions and for the
church of Christ- the people of the
country, rich and poor, high and low,
believe in and are loyal to Christ's idea
of the marital relation, when he said:
"Wherefore they are no more twain, ,
but one flesh. What therefore God
hath joined together, let not man put j
asunder. " Matt. 19:6. !
A Jew Appointed to The Army.
According to unofficial reports re
reived in 'Washington Private Frank
Hlootn of the Third Field Artillery, on
whose account Col. Cirrard, commanding
Fort Myer, Va., was reprimanded by
President Taft a few months ago, lias
passed his examinations for, promotion
and will shortly be commissioned a sec
ond lieutenant in the army. It was
stated at the War department, however,
that the examination papers have not
yet reached Washington from Fort
Leaveifworth, Kan., where the test, was
held September 1st, and consequently
nothing could be staid officially on. the
case, liloom failed in his first exami
nation. It was then that Col. Ciirrard
.entered an endorsement, on his papers
opposing his promotion on the ground
that he was a .Jew. This brought about
the Presidential reprimand of the of
ficer. Jnst why Col. (Jirrard desired to re
strict Bloom from military service, it is
difficult' to conjecture. They are far su
i.eriv.r to both Indian mid negroes who
i
do military duty. The world owes much
to the .lews, who starxl-as shining lights
all through past centuries. Christ was
a Jew and so were all of his disciples.In
the business world today,, the Jews lead
in aggressiveness and a community
without a .lew, shows little prosperity.
The richest family on earth, the lioth
ehjltls, are Jews. They have a repre
sentative in every foreign nation and
virtually control the finances of Europe.
All honor, therefore, to the Jewish race.

Miss Deslys was stretched ; lanm.;.u
on her deck chair when reporters board
ed the Lorraine at Quarantine. She was
dressed in white, trimmed with chiffon
and Naleneiennes lace, and over it all
was a flowing raw silk coat trimmed
with ermine. She wore a poIca l.r., m.,
hat, also trimmed, with ermine.
Altogether, the French actress is
rather pretty. She says her eyes are
blue but they seemed more of a green
ish gray. Her hair was fold en ,,nnr
and had evidently been treated. Rings
covered her fingers, pearls for the most
part. About her neck was a circle of
pearls, the necklace said to have been
given her by King Manuel.
"I hope to stay here for three
months," she said in broken English.
"My contract is for eight weeks,. but
I think I shall stay four weeks more."
The actress will appear at the Winter
Garden in a twenty-four minute sketch
entitled Lea Debuts le Chinchines, in
which she will sing and j dance. She
will be accompanied in the sketch by
three persons, two of whom she brought
with her. They were Jacques Chatel,
who will dance, and Rene Vermandelles,
who will sing. The other member of
the troupe will be an American and will
be engaged here. ' - -
Miss Deslys would not talk about
the ex-king.
"I sing, I dance, I play; but my pri
vate affairs are my own,") she said.
However, from her. manager, Gaeteno
Amadei, it was learned that' while she
was in London recently playing at the
Alhambra, she met Alanuel often.
"Does she still love the king!" the
manager was asked.
"No," said he, "but the king loves
her." .i . .
"Dili she ever love him!"
The manager shrugged his shoulders
and laughingly said, "He was a king,
you know, but now he is not."
Miss Deslys confessed to being 24
years old and no older. She said that
Gaby was a contraction of the name
Gabrielle, and that Deslys meant "of
the lillies." This name was! given her
as a pet name by her mother, and she
adopted it when she went! upon the
stage. She was born in Marseilles of

HIS SOLE OBJECT.
JUDGE Q. IL ALLEN WANTS. TO
HELP MANKIND.
JUDGMENT WITH MERCY.
Prisoner's Need Encouragement as Well
as- Punishment Convicted Must Be
Reformed Humane Way and Neces
sary for Society.
"My sole object in life now," said
Judge Oliver H. Allen to a News re
porter lastjhight, "is to do some little
good for mankind if I can." Among
other interesting topics of which he
was conversing, he was referring to
thoughts hi brought forth in his charge
to the gTand jury at Guilford Court the
other morning, when he defined the na
ture and; th causes of crime, and urged
that the prisons be used for the reform
of the prisoners. Judge Allen was nev
er more in earnest than while making
the charge hnd while talking at the ho
tel at nightj
lie said he had thought of the fact
that one inihis position has a great op
Iortunity. jThe preachers are doing
much in the pulipt, he said, against the
continuance) of crime, but they rarely
ever reach the criminal classes with
their sermons, for these classes do not
go to church. "Those that come be
fore me are the ones that need encour
agement toilive higher the most, and in
the best way I can I try to do what I
can to inspire the better man."
He was sitting by himself in the cal-
lery at Hotel Guilford enjoying one of
his favorite long-stemmed pipes, and
had just laid aside a daily paper. "I i
was just thinking," he said "of those
young men! who were before me this i
afternoon, find I recall that in my!
charge I referred to the fact that men
held for crimes have committed the of-i
fences because of being neglected at
some time ia their childhood. The boys
were 20, 2lancl 22 years of, age. Both!
the father land mother of one Were!
dead, the father of another was dead,
and the father of the other had wiDped
him so much in his youth htat the son
could no longer get along with him. I
criticized the old man right severely
this afternoon.
"The youth of the boys would not
permit to Bend them to the roads. They
did not look) like criminals. They were
just neglected boys and I wanted to do
something for them. So I took advant
age of one of our statutes and ordered
that they be farmed out, and I have a
couple of men looking for a nice, farm
now to put them on. I believe they have
the qualities; of manhood in them."
The judge is very seriously bent to
ward securing a more useful plan of im
prisonment for the imprisoned. He said
that to make punishment accomplish
its purpose ;the convicted must be re
formed, that such is not only the hu
mane way, but the necessary way for
the development of society.
Men must be returned to the world,
he said, better prepared to live in it
than when taken in charge by the law.
He believes: that day's labor should be
from eight to nine hours, and that the
prisoners should have two or three hours
for recreation and studv. "Let a little
arithmetic be taught, in these hours; or
ganize a grammar class. Make the pris
oners comfortable; give them clean
cldthes t,o sleep in."
Judge Allen, who was educated under
Dr. Braxton; Craven at old Trinity, took
occasion in! the rambling conversation
to refer to him as a great, old man, as
the greatest educator the State has ever
known. ,
Much Need to "Go Slow.
Tn a sermon Sunday night Rev. Dr.
Ilulton pastor of the First Baptist
hurch of Charlotte, is thus quoted by
the Charlotte Observer:
Why this business depression over
the country;? Is it caused by a change
n the monetary standards? No, for
tunately, we have had none of that
ince the days of the wild-eyed Uryan-
isrn. IS it inc linKcring wun ine lar-
fTf Iet nie warn you Southern peo-
le in passing that you had better be
careful what your Congressmen do at
the next session of Congress, or else
some of you who own cotton mill stock
may be offering it for sale at 23 cents
on the dollar."-
Jn these Remarks the reverend doctor
entered the domain of politics and he
will more likely hear something. In
the south 'people don't usually relish
the advice of preachers on political
que8tions.-Statesville Landmark.
While Dr. Hulton may have stepped
beyond the pulpit limits there in food
for thought in what he said. The pros
perity this country has- reached and
maintained is due to Republican poli
cies and not those enunciated by De
mocracy and it is well . for Southern
Representatives, who are about all Dem
ocrats, to go slow, or the country will
have another epidemic of Coxie's ar
mies and i soup houses as a result.

A short cotton crop and high taxes

It takes them almost aa long to "cor
rect t ho vote" in Maine as it does in
North Carolina.
A lot of money that is being spent
in the name or education never
reaches its name-sake.

After all, it looks as though ex-Gov
ernor Glenn ruined the chances of the
prohibitionists in Maine.'
Wonder if that penitentiary surplus
will be report ed as large this year as
during campaign years!
And now some . of the Democratic
politicians say we pay too little tax
Well, just wait and see what the voters
say about it at the next election.
It is reported that members of the
lumber trust in this State are working
to secure Simmons' re-election. And
we had been told that the Democrats
were opposed to trusts! '
And now they have reduced the ma
jority of the Democratic sheriff's vote
in Forsyth to twoy votes. If they will
whittle on it some) more, they may get
the right man in office.
The Mount OHfe Tribune says that
section is threatened with a "veritable
reign of lawlessness; 'where murder
stalks abroad.'" And to think that
such a condition of lawlessness exists in
Aycock 's home county and only a few
miles from the home of Eed-Shirt Fai
Bon! Raleigh Caucasian.
And it seems that life is just one
murder right after another.
But if the Democratic" cotton farmers
had rather sell their cotton for 11 cents
than to sell it for 15 cents why it's up
to them. '
The Democratic politicians will have
hard time explaining the low price
of cotton right on top of three short
crops in succession.
As long as Maine was a Republican
State she was a prohibition State, but
as soon as she Went Democratic she
went "hell bent." - .
The Democratic party and the devil
are running things up in .via ine, its
now up to Josephus to get his poke ber

While there are so many murders be-
ng committed, and all manner of crime
s on the increase in the State you don 't
want to forget that these are the days
of Democratic good government in
North Carolina.
When North Carolina begins to pun-
sh crime as they do in Virginia then
it will decrease and not before. When a
man commits murder he should be
forced to take a seat in the electric
chair. That 's the Stuph
-This country has been more prosper
ous under the Payne-Aldrich tariff law,
than ever before in its history, and yet
he American people clamored for a
change and elected a Democratic Con
gress and the change is now taking

And it has at last been settled. Maine
went wet by exactly twenty majority.
If the prohibition law in this State is
not enforced the people will pecome
disgusted with the farce and in all
probability follow the example set by
Maine.
But then short crops don 't cut much
ice when the democrats are in control
of Congress. It will bo remembered
hat during the starvation period under
Cleveland and the Democratic party,
when the farmers were forced to sell
heir cotton at 4 and 5 cents per pound
here were onlv eight million hales.
The Democrats then explained that it
was OVKK PRODUCTION but last year
under Republican rule the farmers sold
more than twelve million bales at 14
and 15 cents. It's up to you to explain
it Mr. Democrat. Clinton News-Dis-

Now Growing Worse and The End is
Not in Sight.
When the Republicans turned over
the reins of the government in North
Carolina, the State was out of debt and
a surplus of $200,000 was in the treas-
ury ine uemocrnis nave open in ru
trol of every department of the govern
ment for a numher ol years ana tne
State is in debt over $300,000, with not
a cent in the treasury with which to
pay the indebtedness. The last Legis
lature undertook to wipe out the treas
ury deficit by raising the people's taxes.
The people will, therefore, pay an av
erage of 30 per cent more taxes to meet
the extravagance of this good govern
ment (!) crowd. And what have the
people received lor this increase in tax
ation! Absolutely nothing except the
unalloyed pleasure (!) of seeing the
salaries of Democratic office-holders in
creased. The people 's money has been
carelessly and recklessly handled and
the end Is not in sight. Hickory Times

Josephine came to me the. other day
with a problem. Josephine's husband
is a poor man, his income is small, there
are two babies, a boy of 3 and a .girl
of 5, and the little family live in a small
house in the suburbs.
In an adjoining house there is an el
derly couple with a bachelor son, about
Josephine 's age. lie has an automobile
and he has fallen into the 'habit of ask
ing Josephine to ride.
'Not alone, oh, no, indeed, Doily,"
she assured me; "I should never think
of that He always gets one of the
girls in the block to go with us."
'It is 'us' already!" I questioned
gravely
"But it is surely perfectly proper
when .there are three together,", she
cried.
"It would be proper if the attrac
tion were the other girl and if you were
needed as a chaperone. But it seems
that you are ' always asked and that
the girls are there to play propriety, to
shield you from gossip. You are Hear
ing the danger line, Josephine."
"JSut surely there is no harm."
"No actual evil, perhaps, but there
is danger in the situation."
"I don't see it." ! Josephine was
growing obstinate. .
"Then why do you come to me ana
call it a problem 1"
"Because, oh Dolly, Richard is be
ginning to object."
"If there is no harm, why should he
object J"
"He's jealous," she faltered, "lie
says that I enjoy the society of my
friend more than I enjoy that of my
husband. But it isn 't true. "
"Are you sure it isn't truef"
She cave a stammering answer. Her
husband need not be selfish, she protest
ed; she had very few pleasures, and
when she had an opportunity for a little
brightness he spoiled it by his com
plaints.
Yet before the man with the auto
mobile came into her life, Josephine was
a contented woman. The society of her
husband and of her children had been
sufficient. She did not crave excite
ment, nor miss the "attentions she had
received in her girlhood.
I tried to explain to her that there
would have been no harm in an au
tomobile ride with her friend if it had
been an occasional matter, and if he
had not shown such decided preference
for her society. I did not even suggest
that he was in love with her, but I
tried to point OHt to her that a Jiking
such as his, might eventually be merged'
into a deeper passion. Then what
would happent Three lives might be
wrecked because of her love of plens
ure and of her inability to sacrifice
her inclinations.
There is great danger when a mar
ried woman begins to find her inter
ests outside of her home circle. Es
pecially is there danger where another
man supplies the pleasures "which her
husband cannot give her. Though she
may be absolutely innocent of any un
faithfulness, even or tnougnt, yei id
world will not know this, and tongues
will wag, and her -reputation may be
smirched before she knows it.
The most precious things that Jose
phine possesses are the love and respect
of her husband and her dignified stand-
ins as bis wife. To forfeit these for a
few automobile rides seems childish and
shows lack of common sense. Pleasure
ceases to be pleasure when problems
must bo solved. DOLLY- MADISON,
