Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 27.
Mrs. Mary Cass,. who died on
Saturday night and was buried
yesterday, spent the j last few'
moments' of her life sitting be
fore h'er mirror.
AVhen Mrs. Cass became ill
three months ago with dropsy,
and was informed she could
not recover, she refused to be
lieve it and ordered a full length
mirror placed in her room . Be
fore this she sat day after day,
carefully noting the changes in
her appearance wrought by the
ravages of disease.
On the mornint? of her death.
- o
jwhen seated before her mirror,
she viewed her reflection and
then calmly announced that she
was about to die. She died
with her eyes fixed on the mir

she gave orders that she be bur
ried under a wide-spreading
tree, as she had never liked the

'How to make live worth living ?"
The qupstion haunts ut every 'lay;
It colors tire first Mush of sunrise.
It deepens the twilight's last ray.
There is nothing that brings us a drearier rain
Than the thought, -we have lived, we are
living in vain."
We need, each and all, to be needed.
To feel we have something tojrive -
Toward soothing the moan of earth's hunger;
And we know that tnt-n only we live
When we feed one another iu. we have been

From the hand that gives lody aud spirit

Oalr lives they are well worth the livinff.
When we lose oar small selves in the whole.
And feel the Strong surges of being
Throb through us, one heart and one soul.

An Object Lesson in Nero Eule.
The people of North Carolina
who do not live in the negro
section df the State have little
conception of the indignities to
which the white people are sub
jected where the negro is in con
trol. Only a few days ago an
incident came to our knowledge
that occurred in the Summer
that illustrated the spirit of the
ruling powers in a leading Eas
ter h1 town.
.One of the most respectable
ladies in Newbern had for some
time had in her employ a small
colored girl, who was so well
treated that when she was bound
out by the clerk of the court to
a negro from the country, she
did not want to leave her white
mistress. Armed with the or
der of the clerk for the custody
of the child, the negro man, to
whom the girl had been bound
Called at the home of .her white
employer and demanded that
she go home with him. The
girl secreted herself and the
lady, knowing her aversion to
going, did not disclose her hid
ing place. Whereupon the ne
gro went down to Five Points
and obtained. from a negro mag
istrate a warrant against the
white lady for the abduction of
the child, and. placed the war
rant in the hands of a negro
constable -who served it upon
her. The lad' did not attend
the trial, which was held in a
ngro hut but sent an attorney
to represent her, waive exami
nation and give bond for the
appearance before the Superior
Court. When the lawyer ap
peared at the place of trial he
found that a negro lawyer had
been employed to prosecute the
lady, and when he offered to
waive examination and' give
bond for her apperance at the
upper court, the negro lawyer
objected and insisted that the
lady should be brought person
ally into court. He made a vio
lent speech and declared that
jier absence was a contempt ot
court and was intended as an
expression of contempt of court
and demanded that she be at
tached for contempt and be
brought into court. The negro
constable, -who is a darky of bet
ter sense than the lawyer, ad
Vised the magistrate that he
could accept the bond without
the defendant being broughi in
to court, and the matter was
settled in that way against the
protest of the negro prosecuting
attorney.
; This affair created great in
dignation among the white peo
ple as soon as it was known,
and if the advice of the negro
a w y. e r to -have the
Jady brought into the court by
the negro constable had been
jtaken nothing could have pre
vented a race riot. The lady is
the wife of- a gentleman well
known in the State,
j This is the kind of "local
self-government" the Radicals
and their allies declare are "ac
chievements equal to those of
the Barons of England at Run
nymede, in extorting from King
John the Magna Charta.'t .
The Anglo-Saxons voters of
the State will not longer toler
ate a condition of affairs that
makes such occurrences possi
ble, and averts the humiliation
of white ladies only by the fear
of physical chastisement. The
white man or set of white men
who are proud of such "achiev
ments" may be white of skin
but they are miserable traitors
to their race and the civilization
of their country. News fc Ob

"yhy Women Marry.
Some women marry because
they want a homo of their own,

Some women marry because
they haven't the moral courage

Some women marry because
they want a little more money
in their purses and a little larger

Some women marry because
theT want to put "Mrs" on
their visiting cards and the
word "wife" on their tomb

a man has asked them to, and
they don't like to say "No."
Some women marry for

else. And with it there conies
responsibilities of which they

Some women marry because
they love the man ; because
they want to be his wife, his
friend and his helpmate ; be
cause they want to make him
feel that there is one woman in
the world whom he can love and
cherish and from whom ho will
receive love and consideration
in return ; because they want to

comes he has a sympathizing,

The Eights of a Young Wife
Before every thing clso tho
young woman has a right to ex
pect from her husband, tender
ness, sympathy and. faith'" says
Buth Ashmore, writing in the
Ladies Home Jourjial of "What
to expect from' a Young Man."
"But sometimes, in his eager
ness to make all life fair to her,
he fancies she. is a doll, and not
a woman . And a doll is a very
selfish toy ; it demands careful
treatment all the time, and it
gives nothing but a pretty ap
pearance in 4return. It is tho
foolish wife who expects infal
libility in her husband. Sho
forgets that there is a difference
between the housewife and tho
house mouth. Sho should ex
pect from her husband polite
ness at all times, and a certain
gentleness that every man, pos
sesing tho real instinct of a man
gives to a woman. But sho
should not expect too much
for him. She has no right to
ask of him permission to live a
lazy life herself, and to give up
all her days and years to vain
and idol thoughts. When
the wife can make her hus
band's home-coming a joy, ids
home-staying a 'pleasure and a
delight, and his leaving home a
sorrow, then, . and then only,
can she expect a great deal from
him."
Conniiiif iTe Can l Cured.
New York, Oct. 15. Profes
sor Margliano's serum for the
cure of consumption has been
successfully tried in five known
cases of the disease in which
the Board of Health bacteriolo
gists examined the sputum, and
success has attended the trials.
One case will do as a sample of
all.
Guiseppe Panettiere, 2r years
old, of No. 112 Houston street,
contracted the disease, and his
was supposed to be a helpless
case. Treatment began in Sep
tember. When the firt injec
tion was made Panettierc's
fever was at 101 degrees. Two
days later the second . injection
was made, and an examination
showed there was no visible
change in the patient's condi
tion, .lint with the third injec
tion came signs of improve
ment. Panettiere reported a
marked sharpness of appetite
and a stoppage of the night
sweats. In those first six days
he had, moreover, gained half a
pound in weight.
But the fever remained un
changed at 101 degrees. With
the sixtli injection the fever en
tirely , disappeared. Panet
tiere's temperature was normal
again and it has remained so.
Panettiere has since made
rapid improvement. The cough,
which had clung to him for two
years, has almost entirely
ceased, his appetite lias returned
and his strength is increasing
daily. The treatment has to bo
continued for one year to effect
a permanent cure.
