I WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. 0. Sunday Mokktsg, June 7. ABILITY WASTED IV CBIHE. Lioulaville Cbttrwr. Journal ': That the ingenuity and energy devoted to criminal pursuits would insure a comfortable living and an easy com- - petence if .applied to honest labor is a truism. A fresh and efEectiye illus tration of this was furnished last week in the killing by a train of "Blg Jim" Brady, one of the most noted burglars of thirty years ago, who had just left the Westchester, New York, poorhouse after a stay - of "Three years. He was seventy eight years old and had been admit ted to the institution jn a starving condition, added" to which he was desperately ill His record was well known, and when he went into the poorhouse his life was thought to be only a question of a few. weeks Nevertheless he fought his way back to health and when ready applied for his discharge.' When his dead body .was picked up by the side of the rail road there was tightly clutched in his hand a bag containing a complete set of burglars' tools of the most modern description.". Que of them was an electric torch, decidedly a new thing in burglary It turned out that the kit of tools was his own handiwork, constructed with the rudest sort of instruments, but of excellent workmanship. Seventy eight years old and feeble as he must have been, he had struggled away from' his place of refuge ob viously to return to his old life of desperation and crime. - , Brady , belonged to the higher classes of criminals. He was an eiperTbank burglar, and it is said no safe lock was invented that could defeat his skill. He did some very profitable jobs in his line, the total of his "lootings" amounting, it is said, to half a million dollars. His all he got out of thisfortune and for the desperate chances he took were long years in prison, shattered health and death unwept and alone under tha engine wheels of an express train. Had he devoted his unques tioned abilities as a mechanic to le 'gitimate pursuits he might have been a sort of Charles Schwab, who lifted himself in comparative youth to the ranks of : the millionaires . solely by his energy and his skill as an artisan. The difference between the two men was that Schwab was a normal and honest man, and "Big Jim" Brady had no moral basis for an otherwise strong character. He chose the wrong road of life and was severely punished even on this earth. xxtostiox nr a period op I DISTRESS. Baltimore Sun: The flood in Kan sas City cut off to a great extent the food supply by rail, and a num ber of merchants who had large stocks on hand took advantage of the situation to advance prices. The merchandise they sold had not cost them one cent more than the usual market price. And yet numbers of the grocers and provision dealers did not hesitate to take advantage of the necessities of the people, poor and rich alike, to demand -famine prices. Beef went up to $1 a pound, I potatoes to $3 a bushel, and other things in proportion. A great por tion of the population are unable to pay these prices, and there was, of coursermuch deprivation and suffer ing m consequence. The City Coun cil took cognizance of the situation and passed, an ordinance forbidding extortionate or unreasonable prices "for water and other necessaries of life." The ordinance fixes a penalty up to $500, and persons who were overcharged were advised to appeal to the police.' Whether the Cifrr CWU h the authority enforce I u uiuiuttuut) ia a question oi law. But the enactment of the or dinance is an expression of public sentiment which may have some ef fect upon the extortionate dealers. Last Winter while the supply of coal wes limited not one ton of that limited supply cost any more to mine and haul than the usual sum. And yet the price in most of the Eastern cities was doubled and sometimes - almost quadrupled by some of the operators. In conse quence of this extortion there was much suffering among the poor and doubtless much disease and many deaths. But just as with the Kan sas City food sellers, some of these coal men had no pity. The public press in Kansas City Is denouncing the merchants who are advancing the price of the necessaries of life undtJy'aa robbers. It is difficult to differentiate the morals of such mei - f0 those who rebbejl and wounded the jnaa who traveled from Jerusa lem to Jericho ; and left him 'bleed ing aad74ying in the highway. - H Wrt ofAll JExrioaes.

The South has a good deal at stake in the next Presidential campaign and so has the Northern Democracy, unless both have a hankering to remain in a lean : and beggarly minority. Charlotte News,- (Dem.) , - President Roosevelt seems to be having things his own way, and if helives he will be the Republican nominee for the Presidency next year. Mr. Roosevelt is a popular man, and we are willing to give him all the credit that is due him, but he is not a safe man, he has npt the confidence of the business men of the United States, and it is onr de liberate opinion that if the Demo crats in 1904 will nominate a safe, conservative man for the Presi dency, and put him on a sound Democratic platform, they will win. It is a great opportunity, and it is to be hoped that the Democrats will not let it slip. Richmond Times Democrat, Dem. "Why shouid Cuba be allow ed to go to London to borrow the thirty-five millions she needs ? Do American financiers fail to recog nize the importance' of. maintaining a preponderant: influence in the island republic naturally bound to us ? Do we forget tnat -the finan cial tie ia in these days far the most influential, of all, and quickly com bines with itself the commercial and the political?' With prospects so happy, after a year of prosperity under sober andnresponsible govern ment, Cuba should have no diffi culty In getting any reasonable sum in the United States at a lower rate of interest than she would have to pay abroad." Philadelphia Ledger:. The information is gathered from a cable dispatch published in the Washington Post that T. Thomas .Fortune, President JBoose- velt'a special labor commissioner to ine irnuippine islands, "wno recent- ly naa a auncuiiy witn tne police" of Manilla, has been "sent home by the government." It appears from the information received and pub- lished by a Honolulu Turbulent Thomas is paper that home as a rapidly -assisted immi grant." Turbulent Thomas For tune, aa is very well understood, is a negro lawyer and edi tor of New York. During the course of a speech made at Honolulu while on his way to investigate for the President the conditions of la bor in the Philippines, he said: "Booker Washington preaches the gospel of work; I preach the gospel of dissension;" and that very well describes him. He prefers kicking npa row about something to honest labor, and it was because he was so noisy and bothersome that he was shipped across the Pacific by the Re publican bosses. Puffed up with his own importance, it seems that the only, thing he did worthy of notice while in Manila was to get into an altercation with the police. Savan nah News, Dem. TWINKLINGS.

THE KINDNESS OF DISEASE. With our forefathers disease was an evil influence. We 6hoidd no lon ger look at it in that way at least, 60 we are assured in a recent address bv Sir Frederick Treves, an English physician. To the modern expert, he says, disease is merely the" out come of natural processes, whose Eurpose at bottom is a kindly or eneficenfr one. Its symptoms are merely "expressions of a natural ef fort toward cure." They are "not malign in intent, but have for their end the ridding of the body of the very troubles which they are sup posed to represent." After all, how ever, this view is not 60 very new. Even, in the middle aees wise men talked of the "curative force of na ture," and in this. phrase lies the truth on which Sir Frederick has based his lecture. Still it is fre-. quently forgotten that nature means well by us, and it is a good thing to be once in awhile reminded of it -Success. --" Origin of the Thoroughbred.

North Africa, therefore, and not Arabia, is the original home of the thoroughbred. More than (Tyears before Christ King Solomon imported horses from Egypt, and Egypt got them from Lybia. "It is now clear," says Pro-; fessor Eidgeway, "that: the Arabs never owned a good horse until they had become masters of north Africa and the Barbary horses, from which is sprung our own racing stock." - r " High Prices' In 1902. - During the past year we have seen": .4,100 paid for .a tinV Tudor gilt cup, 1521, scarcely more than' four inches in 'height, and 3,000 for -a standing saltcellar, -1577,about seven and a half inches high, the former price working out at 290 per ounce and the latter 330 per ounce.
