J. Bryan. He has issued a statement that lrvan ofiered the national pop ulist committee $1,500 to be used as campaign funds provid ed the committee would endorse th e nominee of the democratic party, for president. This statement has been denied by Senators Allen, Butler, Teller and Stewart as utterly untrue. Mr. Bryan did tender $1,500 royalties from the sale of his I'ook to the populist committee,, hut it was declined by chair man Butler who says there were no conditions whatever express-: d with the tender of the nionev.

Severe Hail Storm iD Kansas- Topeka, Kan., June 24. The worst hail storm known in 'the history of Kansas struck' this city shortly after six o'clock to- uicht. Hail stones weighing 12 to 16 ounces stripped- the trees of their foliage, smashed window panes on every hand, including tlie finest plates store fronts, cut down telegraph and telephone wires,, riddled awn ings and inflicted unprecedented damage throughout the city. Dogs were struck in the streets and instantly killed. Horses were knocked to their knees. Runaways occurred throughout the city. When the fury of the storm had '.passed, dead birds were found everywhere. A leavy wind and terrific light- niiig accompanied the storm. : l'opeka to-night looks like a city that has withstood a siege of war gihis. There are not a dozen buildings in the town that are not almost windowless and many roofs were caved in. The oofs of street cars also were pierced. The damage wrought an be imagined when it is nowii that the hail stones ranjred m size from that of a tens ego to an ostrich egg, and that thirty minutes after the storm one hail stone was picked up Avhich measured 14 incher in circumference. Surgeons are usy dressing the wounds of persons injured in the storm, and reports of injuries continue to be received. Many were mrt in runaways on the streets. Just what has been expected ill along from Capt. John Smith's policy of putting on ne gro guards and guards got to sleep while on duty, then tak- ng off the balls and chains from convicts and finally giving them a dance, has happened. Here it is : "Thirty-five convicts, em ployed at the Castle Hayne Farm, made a break for liberty. Several were shot down though none were killed. The firing stopped a number af those who broke, but seven managed to es cape." There are those who -predict-that if the superintendent keeps up his present polic' he - will wake up one of these mornings to find himself and his sleeping guards the only occupants of the penitentiary. Tlie birds they are put there to watch. and guard will have vamoosed. News & Observer. Barnes Bros., printers of Raleigh, have been given the contract to do . the State print ings It is said they will get at least20,000 more for the work, under the contract, than.it is worth to do this work. They are populists and get this work for compensation for services rendered in helping the republi cans to get control of the State government. j If you want to get the home news subscribe for this paper. When Mr- Moody First Left Home. The Evangelist Tells of His First Dreary Journey Into the Busy World. "There are acts of love shown me when I was a mere child that have influenced my whole life," writes Evangelist Dwight Li. Moody to his Bible Class in the July Ladies' Home -Journal " There were nine of us children, and my widowed mother had very great difficulty in "keeping the wolf from the door. My next oiaer Drotner naa iouncl a place for me to work during the winter months in a neighbor ing village about thirteen miles away, and early one November morning we started out togeth er on our dismal journey. Do you know November has' been a dreary month to me ever "since? As we passed over the nyer and up the opposite side of -the val ley we turned to look back for a last look atjiome. It was to be my last view for weeks, for months, perhaps forever, and my heart well nigh broke at the thought. That was the longest journey I ever took, for thirteen miles was more to me at ten than the world's circumference has ever been since. "When at last, we arrived in the town I had hard work to keep back my tears, and my brother had to, do his best to cheer me. Suddenly he point--ed. to some one and said : 'There's a man that'll give you a cent ; he gives one to every new boy that comes to town.' I was so afraid that he would pass me by that I planted my self directly in his path . He was a feeble, old, white-haired man. As he came up to us my brother spoke 'to him, jind he stopped and (looked at me. 'Why, I have never seen, you before. You must be a new boy,' he said. He asked me about my home, and then, lay ing his trembling hand upon my head, he : told, me that, al though I had no earthly father, my Heavenly Father loved me, and then he gave me & bright new cent. I do not remember what became of that, cent, but that 'old man's blessing has fol lowed me for over fifty years, and to my dying day I shall feel the kindly pressure of that hand upon my head. A loving deed costs very little, but, done in tlie name of the Christ, it will be eternal. This divine love is what the Church of God needs to-day. We discuss and argue oyeranethods and means, but,, .after all, the solution of the problem is love." '. Took 30 Iriuks in 10 Minn! s. Wyiston, N. C, June 24. Mr. W. B. Young, of Souther- lin, Va., aged about 40 years, died from convulsions, produc ed by strong drink in the office of his physician, Dr. Fearring- ton, at 5 :20 o'clock. The de ceased came to winston six weeks ago and was employed by contractors, to superintend the construction of a large dam across the Yadkin river. He had been drinking nearly ever since he arrived here . He owns the large Buffalo farm near Sutherlin and is said to be the proprietor of the Star tabaccetlt is intended for the latter, but warehouse '. at Danville. He told his physician to-day that I he took thirty drinks of whiskey in forty minutes and would die. His only brother, professor of English literature in Richmond College, died two weeks "ago. Mr. Young requested, that his remains be sent to his cousin J. R. Chaney, at Sutherlin, and this will be done. When he came, here he had $600. About $100 of this is supposed to be in the bank. It will require more than that amount to pay his ho tel and other -bills about town. --News & Observer. I.

The vexed Question of the rear son oi women s non-snccess m - e ' ' business, allowing what many will not admit; that she does not succeed, js ably treated by Esther Lewis Jones in the Work ing-Women's Journal. The rule is she says, that women do not succeed in busi ness. ,When they iire forced to make their board and cloths, they do it with more or less comfort. Four walls, a seat room, are offered for six days in the week to. make a living for seven, by becoming a part of a curiously differentia ted mechanism, which makes money for its projectors. Many there , are who accept these terms incarceration for a live lihood ; wages, therefore, are' low. . ' i Your average woman has ia reputation for being late. She has little idea of values of pro portion; of the sacredness oZ appointments. Your average woman lias also a reputation for crying when attention is called to her shortcomings. She has made this reputation for herself. The employer has a reputation for putting up with it ; it saves emotions, . it saves pennies . ier conscientiousness goads her to make urj for her This is wearing to her nerves. Your average woman requires special treatment concessions on ac count of i her sex : at least, so men say. ' Your average woman will not take risks ;she lets another. take the risks and reap the benefits. Her bird in the hand is of more value than the two in the bush whiclf mighli be - hers, if she dared to usedier first to catch the two she. wants. She will not go into debt ; and yet the business of the world isTdone on borrowed capital. How inter esting statistics would be as to the number of women who, from their resources as wagerners, are able to assume the responsibili ty of a three-thousand-dollar house, with all its expenses. A man is doing little if he does this. If a woman supports her self and another in rooms, the world says she is doing nobly i Women's clothing working women's especially is adapted neither for use nor, for beauty. it lacks fitness, an essential of beauty. Women's waists are to tight, their skirts are to long ; they cannot be made use of as general factotums. How ridicu lous to expect a slim-waisted' be-frizzled, drapery-entrainmel-ed maiden to sweep the store, run errands, or work her way up to membership in a firm ! They are generally "made places for" a little above errand boys, which they are known to retain till matrimony or death seizes them ; such positions are so steady and ladylike. Your average woman's inter est in the future is but a dreary wondering as to how it will all turn out ; she takes no active mqasures to make it turn out her way. Recall to women one who has a plan and who works it out ; another, who has no plan, though she work long and hard : you have your pict- ures of the woman who succeeds and the woman who fails. "T i . i our average wording wom an rarehy saves. Gladly she saves for a wedding outfit ; dis mally and later in life to gain entrance to a Home, or to in 1 1 1 rn i sure accent ouriai. late your woman that saves does she know how to invest her saving? Again, statistic would be inter esting as to the number of worn en who have from few hundreds made thousands, millions. It would be refreshing, after the stories of vicious squanderings of mheritedxfortunes by men trusted of women. Men's attitude towards wom en is quite as forbiclable a fac tor to be overcome as their own lapse and laxness. Consider the men who were makingxau ideal life for wife and children the men who are making homes for wife and children, mothers and sisters, anil who,' wisely pr unwisely, are sorry for the other women who, from choice neces sity, trudge along alone. Consider tlie men who take wo men as a joke, her efforts to be laughed at the men who scorn and belittle her efforts. Consid er also the men who are not fit even far business association with women ;fcansider the com posites, and how many are left to take a rational attitude? Men are chivalrous to men; they know how hard it is to support a family ; therefore, the higher salaries are reserved for men with families to support. Not to antagonize, not to pla cate, but to hold and enrich her own is women's work. Man's attitude will veer when occasion demands it, not before. It makes some men feel badly to see a-lady making her own liv ing; so they say. She must, however, be a lady to arouse their sympathies. Isit to avoid rt to fine feeling that one in .1 i .1 , n one tnousanu is tne ratio ot women to men in places where it is worth while to' be employ ed. Men and women get what they are worth in this world, but to get it they must know how ; must know exactly what their worth is, and how to make it more ; must, know what the world is, and what it wants, and then go to work to give and to get, and to give again. Accep ting the fact that there is neces sity for many women to earn their living. I leave out of the question all its social, economic domestic, and ideal" phases. Woman's place in the world is wherever she cliooses,it ; she has only to see that she fills it well and that she receives its recom pense in full. ; Murdered in Bed. Lexington, N. C, June) 23. Another horrible tragedy has been, committed in Lexington. At 3 :20 o'clock this morning, a burglar entered the March House and shot and instantly killed Mrs. A. A. Springs, a most estimable lady, and wife of the proprietor, "in her bd. The murderer escaped through i window m tlie office on the ront side of the hotel. Mr. Springs was sleeping with his wife at the time, and was only aroused by the discharge of the pistol. The room was dark and he could not recognize the mur derer, -but thinks he was a white man Tf slender build. The building now used for the March House is the former dwelling of the late Dr. R. L. Payne, the new hotel not .yc.t being completed! Every effort will be made to capture the murderer. Parties .at Charlotte and Bur lington were wired for blood hounds, and at 3 o'clock this afternoon the dogs arrived from Burlington, and were at once put upon the track, which they followed for two miles and then lost it. - Another effort1 will be made to-night. If this devil in human form is caught, his time here will be short. News and Ob server, r The murderer has not been caught at thisj'writing. The dogs could not follow the track.

I'resiaent Madison had gone to the front, aid his wife was anxiously awaiting his return in fear for his safety. Tli$ White House attaches had nearly all deserted their posts, but Mrs. Madison had packed air her husband's papers and records, and as she was about to abandon the house bethought herself of General Washington's portrait. The heavy frame inclosing it was broken by a servant with an axe, and she removed , the can vas with her own hands, keep- it from failing into the hands of the enemy. "It was then, writes Mr. Howard, "just as she was in the act of hurrying away, that Dolly Madison ws seized with an inspiration that will ever cause her name to live in the heart of every . true, American. She stopped to think. . Vhat if the White House should be burned? Did it contain any thing of value - to the Govern ment that she had neglected? The Declaration of Indepen dence? In a flash she called to mind this most precious of all documents. Carefully treas ured in a case apart from the other papers it had been over looked in the worriment and confusion. It must be saved at all hazards! Without a mo ment's hesitation she turned and rushed back into the house. Stop ! for Heaven's sake, stop ! cried her friends, vainly endeav oring to intercept her. Regard less of their commands, regard less of her danger, the brave woman sped to the room con taining the treasure for which she was willing to sacrifice her life, without attempting to open the glazed door of the case she shattered the glass with her clenched hand, snatched the priceless parchment, and, wav ing it exultantly above her head hurried to the door, where she entered her carriage and was rapidly 'driven away in the di rection of Georgetown. An Airship Takes Fire. A dispatch from Berlin, dated) June 12, states that Herr Woel-j fert, a noted aeronaut, and his assistant Knabe, made an ex periment" ascent in a steerable ,'rship from the Tempelhof field. When the balloon, which had been filled-aU the military ballooning establishment, had reached a considerable height, estimates of which vary from 1,700 to 3,000 feet, a loud ex plosion occurred, and the next moment the balloon was seen to be ablaze. The car, which was also on fire, detached itself from ! the'burning silk and fell with fearful rapidity to the ground. Both of the .occupants were found to be dead. Their bodies were horribly burned. It ap pears that the uenz.nc mca m. the sterling motor exploded, News from. all parts ok the - Would.

The Japanese government has notified President McKin ley that if Hawaii is annexed to the United States it will have to be done with arms as it will protect the interests of its citi zens in the islands. An insult Was .'given- the United' States ilag at Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the Queen's jubilee day. A Hag which was displayed from the residence of an American citizen was ruth-t lessly torn away and destroyed. While all England and her colonies were celebrating the Queens jubilee in great pomp the crown's subjects , in India are starving from want of food and the plague. At Bombay two of tlie Queen's officers were shot, one killed and the other badly wounded, by some of the natives. Placards and small leaflets. were distributed among the people denouncing the cele bration of the jubilee and say ing that "none but demons would celebrate the Queen's Jubilee when famine, earth quake and plague prevailed and while. temples - were being pol luted by the plague officials." The English government id considered the annexation of Hawaii to tlie United States , with a view of creating senti ment against it. Mr. Becket, conservative in the House of Commons Last week asked the government if it was aware that "Queen Liliuokalani has leen deposed by a small body of Americans, who, without right or title, have assumed sover eignty over Hawaii, and, now, to save themselves from the re sentment of the people, have requested- the . American Govern ment to annex Hawaii; and whether Great Britain proposes to allow" this most important" coaling station to pass into the hands of the United States with out protest?"
