whoe duty it was to prevent such

smugglers. He removed a number of
these men and appointed their succes
sors, but did not make either 4he re
movals or the appointment. public un
til this week, be ause of his desire to
secure the necessary evidence to crimi
u illy "prosecute the crooked ex-otHeials.
Large fortunes are said to. have been
made by the smugglers in the last ten
years, but Mr. Carlisle intends to see
that no more are made while he re
mains in office.
Not a few Republicans, among them
son.s Congressmen, have openly com
mended Judge Lochren for bis vigor
ous efforts towards carrying out Presi
dent Cleveland's idea of making the
pension roll a roll of honor, and the j
number is bound to increase as the
good effect of the new methods becomes j
more apparent. The most audacious
Republican Congressman wiM hardly
dare to go oil record as criticizing the
present administration for dropping
men from the pension rolls, whose
names, have no right, either in law or
equity, to be there, and it is ouly that
kind who are being dropped.
As was expected, Col. Ainsworttv
the contractor, the superintendent,

the coroner's jury for having failed to
take necessary precautions to prevent
the accident which killed 23 men and
wounded a number of others in Ford's

await the action of the grand jury.

The midway piaisance is a sort of
territory set apart for side-shows,
freaks, eccentricities and vulgaiities.
In it are Turkish, Egyptian, negro
and other, side-shows, making abou
buch a conglomeration as is on th
Uowery iu New York, and most of it
is just about as lespectable as the
Bowery is.
North Carolina is represented by
fivi exhibits, as follows:
Mines and mining,
Forestry,
Fish and Fisheries,
Horticulture,
Agriculture.
These exhibits are very creditable
indeed and are attracting much atten
tion. In the department of forestry
the exhibit of medicinal herbs by VVal
lace liros., of Slatesville, is easily ad
mitted to be the best at the World's
Fair and there is no doubt it will win
the first medal. The exhibit of native
woods is first-class and should also win

The thing that became most nota
ble at the Philadelphia fair was the
big Corlis engine. "At the Paris expo
sition it was the Eiffel tower. In
Chicago it will probably be the electric
light. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays the grounds are illuminated
in the evening until 11 o'clock and
the display is beyond conception.
The exhibit in the electrical building
is somewhat disappointing. The ex
hibition of electrical development and
the electrical display is made in the ex
ecution of the contract to light the
buildings ;.nd grounds by the West
inghouse Electric Company. The
ly names used' have ten thousand lights
capacity each and there are in use,
about one hundre.l thousand lights and
in illumination nights the buildings
about the Fountain Plaza are outlined
.with incandescent lamps so that for
miles away in the prarie the dome of
he administration building can be
perfectly seen as a skeleton building of
ights against the sky.

i. The JSIaa'the Printer Lover
There is a man the printer lores and
te is wondrous wise; when'er he writes
the printer man he dotteth nil his iV.
And when he's dotted all of them witlr
carefulness and ease, he punctuates
each paragraph and crosses all his t s.
upon one side alone Jie writes, and
never rolls hu leaves, and from the
man of ink astnile and marks 'insert"
receives. And .when a question he doth
ask- taught wisely he hath been he
doth the goodly stamp for; postage
uck pui. in. ue gives tne place from
which he writes the nddresiT thm
printer ueeds and plainly writes his
lonored name, so he that runneth reads
ltj writes', revises reads, corrects and
rewrites all again, and keeps one cop? :
safe and sends one to the prit ter nun.
And thus by taking little paiusr at tri
fling care and cost, assures himself his
minuscript will not be burued or hwt.
So let all those who long to write take
pattern by this man, with jet black ink
and paper white do just the best thej
can, and then the printer man shall
U'ow and bless as his f riend nil
through life's journey as they go until
that journey ends.
Terrible Panic is Church. ; . .'

Borisog'.ebsk, on the Volga, was crowt--
ed with pilgrims from all nart f
- w7
Yaroslav, who had come to take part
in the annual church procession, a panic
was caused by false alarm of fire
which had been raised by thieves in f
order to facilitate their operations.
When the firemen arrived, in answer
to the tolling of an iilarm by the sexton
of the church, tLey found the door
locked.
Breaking it in they witnessed a fear
ful sight. In the mad rush for the exit'
hundreds had leen knocked do An and
stamped upon, while others had been
sutfocated by the pressure of the great
throng of teiror-stricken people. 1
the bodies of 129 women and tra
men were taken from the church. Nor
was this the total number; of victims, -as
several other persons had been kill
