The Atjanta Journal has purchased the right to publish this Story contemporaneously I with us publication in the Record. publication to begin Monday, March 23d. The mystery in the story is not developed until the last chapter.' After the publication of fifty-seven chapters the Journal, will suspend the publication for a, week, to give its readers a chance to guess the so lution of the mystery, which will be revealed in the concluding chapter, and will reward the best guesser with a prize of $50 in gold.

Senator' Chandler can't under stand why it takes 353 employes to attend to the needs of 90 Senators and why a Senator who gets $5,000 a year should have attendance that costs $5,355 a year. Perhaps the Senator overlooks tbe fact that the Senators have a good many rela tives, dependents and friends that they want to provide with soft snaps, and hence the large number of em ployes, &i What's the use of being a Senator thing? if one can't have some- According to the figuring-of the London Economist, the Cuban fracas is costing Spain $5,000,000 a month, and she hasn'jgot right well into it yet.

G orge Koumree The Sute.'a Conten tion. '' . . Raleigh, March 12. Io the Supreme Court here to-dav argument ys begun in the case of Franc s W.nslow against Gov. Carr. Winslow is a retired naval officer who commanded the North Caro lina Naval Reserves and whose com mission was revoked by the Governor, "for the good of the service." Winslow applied for a permanent injunction to restrain the officer next in command from promulgating the oider and re moving bim. lulge Start uck, a few days ago, declined to grant such injunc tion and Winslow spptalcd. George Rountree, his counsel. " argued to day that the Governor has not tbe . power to revoke a commission, save in time of war, unless upon the disbandonment of the organization, or upon' the finding of a court martial or court of inquiiy. Counsel for the State will argue that there is no precedent in tbe books for such action as this; that the Governor has power to revoke the commission, as tne Naval Keserves, con stituting part of the State Guard, are al ways on a war footing, liable to be called into service at any moment. Tbe revo cation of Wmslow's commission, it will be further argued, was not a dishonor- able discbarge, but was doce because he was antagonistic to the Adjutant Gen eral and bis feelings made him insubor dinate.

This question is being mooted more or less seriously In several quar ters. In some, loss of life has resulted from an engine running people down; in others, only loss of property In the shape of a horse, carriage or . wagon: In each instance, ': however, "; there has been an outcry against, the driver of tbe fire engine or hook and ladder track, and a complaint has gone up against tbe accustomed practice of racing to a bre. Ua the other hand, as every second gained in attacking a fire is a matter ot tbe supremest moment, an eqjally loud outcry would be raised, if tbe department drove to us destination at a speed only a little beyond that of an ordinary vehicle. Thus the firemen are impaled on the horns of a dilemma. The Opinion is that in making for a fire the utmost speed consistent with safety to the firemen should ; be indulged in if at least, the saving of life and property is to be tbe first consideration. Tbe danger to foot passengers and to traffic could easily be minimized if all in the street or carriage-way wcu d take care to give to the fire apparatus that right ol way to which ft is entitled. The clang of the bell, even amid tbe din of those of cable or trolley cars, is easily distinguished, to say nothing of the rattle of the engine, hose wagon, or truck. Every vehicle therefore in the street, whether cable or trolley or horse car or carriage or wagon, should at once be stopped those which can be so drawn aside drawing right up to the curb stone, so as to allow of a tree and uninterrupted passage, while foot passengers ' and bicyc lists a new element of trouble should have sense enough to avoid get ting in the way tor tbe few seconds re quired for the apparatus to fly past. Jn ! London and other h-urcpsao towns and uiie8it is fu ly understood that whoever . is run down, or whosoever s vehicle is crashed into by a fi -e engine has no one 1 bat himself or his driver to blame. In those countries tbe police take care that no obstructions i f any sort block the way of tbe fiie fighters to the scene of their wotk. Tbe American police might well follow tbeir example by making an occasional arret t ot an obstinate truck man or motor man who plays the part of an obstructive. Bneyolopaedia Britanoica.
