Frankness.
People who are frank seldom get
into any misunderstandings with
their fellow or difficulties of any
kind. They check any tendency
to misconception of their view's or
purposes by frankly avowing them,
and are incapable of entering up
on an intrigue. But there are rel
atively few people Who are entirely
frank, and hence in real life, as
well as in novels t and plays, there
are many misunderstandings and
many intrigues. Fiction, indeed,
could scarcely exist if its charac
ters were frank and outspoken;
There is scarcely a novel or play
which is not dependent for the in
terest it excites upon some misun
derstanding arising from a want of
frankness on the part of some of
the characters. Sometimes it is
the villain who deliberately mis
leads the other characters and con
ceals his purposes ; sometimes it is
the hero or heroine who fails to
speak the right word at the right
time through pride or perversity,
and thus gives rise to thestory.
Nor are these novels and plays
mere works of imagination. They
are founded upon .the experiences
of men and women and are valued
only as they approach our concep
tions of truth respecting characters
and events. But the individual
need not be deterred by this con
sideration from cultivating frank
ness. His neighbors can be relied
upon to furnish the material for
misunderstanding and intrigues,
while he enjoyes the peace of mind
that comes of truth. It is not al
ways easy, however, to determine
the proper limitations of frank
ness. When it is assumed it often
degenerates into brutal bluntness
and gives rise not to misunder
standings, but to the opposite.
Every one has met the man or
woman who prefaces disagreeable
remarks or interference into other
people's affairs with the saying:
"I never hesitate to speak my
mind" or I think it only right to
frankly say,,, fcc. The frankness
that is commendable comes from
the truth that. is in one's heart. It
is not obtrusive, nor is it subject
to repression by pride or any of the
baser passions. When one is rec
ommended to cultivate frankness
he is not advised to merely assume j
it, but to plant the seed and nour
ish it. .The seed is truth, of which
frankness is only the fruit. We
cannot have the fruit without the
seed, but we may have the seed and
so neglect it that it will never grow
and bear fruit. To be frank we
must not only have truth in our
hearts, but have the courage to
give it expression, and the lack of
courage is generally the chief Im
pediment. A desire to avoid con
troversy or a dislike, of what are
called "scenes," or pride may have
to be pvercome if we would speak
frankly, and we may not have the
moral courage to overcome these
impediments to free speaking. To
cultivate frankness, therefore, we
must first of all have truth in our
hearts, and then develop the moral
courage required to give it expres
sion; But this is not all ; we must,
at the same time, keep control of
our tempers that, frankness may
not degenerate into scolding or in
to unnecessary bluntness., The
man who is frank in the best sense
of the word is the ideal gentleman
true, courageous, considerate. We
should all cultivate frankness, nev
er merely assume it. Baltimore

last, was arrested at 3 o'clock yes

Reid was found in a lodging-house

informed of his capture.
The prisoner, his pal, Joe Jones,

robberies of postoffices throughout
North Carolina, Maryland and Vir
ginia by a gang which had avoided
capture for a long time. The of
fices of Newport News, Falls Church
and Hyattsvilie were among those
burglarized, and not a week passed
for months without a burglary of
this kind. In many cases the post
offices robbed were in stores, and
these suffered, too.- The burglars
never carried off anything but cash,
stamps and firearms. Washington

BY A RICHMOND SYNDICATE
Control Secured of tho Soa
board Air Line, Florida Cen
tral. & Peninsula and tho
Georgia & Alabama.
New York, March 1 The Mall and
Express says : . - i
"The Florida Central & Peninsula
Railroad, according to advices received
Un Wall street to-day, has passed into
tne Hands of the Richmond syndicate,
headed by John Skeleton Williams,
who. recently secured control of the
Seaboard Air Line. This control has
been obtained through the purchase of
the stock of W. Bayard Cutting and
R. Fulton Cutting, of this city, who
held a controlling interest in the prop
erty. The Messrs. Catting are said to
have secured for the other stockhold
ers the privilege of selling their minor
ity stocks on terms giving them full
protection. With this purchase, the
syndicate will control the Seaboard
Air Line, the Florida Central & Penin
sula and the Georgia & Alabama." j '
PLANS OP THE SYNDICATE. j
Baltimore, March I The following
official statement was given out here
to-day : .' - ' ' ,
'John 8. Williams & Co., of Rich
mood, and Middendorr, Oliver & Co.,
of Baltimore, for themselves and asso
ciates, have purchased of W. Bayard
Cutting and R Fulton Cutting, of New
York, a majority of the capital stock
of the Florida Central and Peninsula
Railroad. The Messrs Cutting have
secured for all other stockholders of
the Florida Central & Peninsula Rail,
road the privilege of selling their
minority stock on terms giving them
full protection. . , 1:
"It is understood that no changes
will be made immediately In the man
agement of the company, although it
is believed that later. op plans will be
developed looking tpa closer union be
tween the Florida Central & Peninsula
Railroad, the Georgia & Alabama Rail
road and the Seaboard Air Line, all
three of which are now owned and
controlled by the purchasers of the
Florida Central fe Peninsula Rail
road." :!: . K';. " ' j;
It is understood that the associates,
of which mention is made in the an
nouncement, include the Baltimore
Trust and Guarantee Company, the
Mercantile Trust and Deposit Compa
ny and Irvine Keyser and Harry M.
Parr, of this city ; the Produce Ex
change Trust Company, of New York,
andythe Richmond Trust and Deposit
Company, of Richmond, Va. These
corporations and gentlemen formed
the syndicate which recently bought a
controlling interest in the Seaboard
Air Line. They now control 2,345.21
miles of railroad. The ultimate plan
of the syndicate is probably to obtain
a good, Northern connection so that
the service will extend from the ex
treme South to New York. The lines
already controlled and . with which
traffic arrangements are operative, ex
tend as far north as Quantico, Va., 18
miles from Washington. It is believ
ed this gay, a franchise for which has
already been secured, will be construc
ted in the near future, and that the
new system will connect at - Washing
ton with the Baltimore fe Ohio, thus
making a through line from New York
to southern Florida.

Extradition With, Llexioo.
Citt op Mexico, Mar. 2. The
extradition treaty negotiated be
tween Mexico and the United
States has been signed by Foreign
Minister Mariscal and Ambassador
Powejl Clayton. The treaty, which
is predicated upon the proposition
made by Mexico in 1885, is to have
a retroactive effect, so as to cover
the cases of fugitives from justice
duringj the interregnum between
the old and the new treaties. The
convention broadens the embezzle
ment clause to cover not merely
public money, but all defaultca
tions or thefts.
Another clause provides for the
delivery of stolen goods on the de
mand of either government. A
copy of the treaty has been mailed
to the State Department at Wash
ington, in the hope that it may ar
rive in time to be acted upon by
the Senate'before adjournment.

Omaha Acquired a Thirst.
Omaha, Neb., Mar. 2. Today,
for the first time in the city's his
tory,' the saloons were hermetically
sealed. This was the result of a
clash between certain factions
prominent in city affairs, one of
which has made a wholesale on
slaught on the gambling fraternity,
and the other, in retaliation, has
invoked the power of the police
force to close the saloons.
The raids on the wet goods dis
pensaries began three weeks ago
today, but those who know the
ropes found little difficulty in
moistening their throats. Today
it was different. Twenty officers
were detailed to watch the saloons,
and they did their duty. .
