The office of Vice President of the United States is one of great dignity and importance. To preside over the American Sen ate is itself a work of great re sponsibility and honor. It was in that position that Thomas Jefferson became the father of parliamentary law as practiced in this republic. Upon the de cisions of the Yice-Piesident, in his parliamentary capacity, ims portant conclusions often de pend. His casting vote in the event of a tie in the Senate may have the force and effect of a veto by the President himself. It may eas'ly be the crisis in the most consequential questions. A man with so much nossible , x power should be not merely a fine parliamentarian, but also a statesman of learning and prac tice in sympathy with the pco pie who elected him to office. Furthermore, the Vice Presi dent occupies the position of alternative President of the United States. In the uncir tainty of life he is liable to be called upon at any moment to become Piesident in fact. Of the twenty-four Presidents of the United States four have died in office all ot them early in their terms. The necessity lor sudden succession is not so re mote that it should be lightly considered in the convention of a pirty. The man selected for the second place on a national ticket should be the equal of the man at the head, if, under the prevailing circumstances, it is possible to find two men ol equal availability. The nominating conventions ol the great parties aie close at hand. It is time to get serious. Frivolous commentaries on the insignificance of the ViCe-Presi-dential position are out of place The naming of "Tom, Dick and Harry'' as timber for Vice Pres ident is getttng to be well-nigh disgusting. There have been a few men in the White House who have scaled down the digs nity of the Presidency itself. The Vice-Presidential office should not be permitted to des generate. It should especially not be cheapened by cheap puffs in the newspapers for cheap men. Raleigh Post. WILL SPLIT THE PURSE. Corbett and Jeffries Agree to Divide the Money Evenly. New York, February 24. All arrangements lor tlie coming championship battle bttweeu Jim Jeffries and Jim Corbett have at last been completed, and unless something unrorseeu should occur these big sluggers will have it out in a twenty five round bout at the Seaside Sporting Club on May nth. Tom O Rourke, manager of the latter club, will post $2,500 with the stakeholder, Al Smith, to-day as a guarantee that the club wi 1 pull off the content, while Billy Brady, acting for Jeffries, will do like-wise. Cor bett's forfeit is already up, as it was oosted with Al Smith when the match was first arranged several months ago. It is said that the fighters will divide the purse evenly, win or lose. Jeffries is anxious to beat Cor bett as quickly as possible, and will undoubtedly dc sj in a hurry. Jeffries yesteiday wired his manager, Brady, that he would like to box George Laws ler, the Western heavyweight, in Hot Springs, but Brady re fused premission. INTERESTING CASE AT HIGH POINT. (High Point Correspondent Charlotte Observer.) An interesting trial took place in the mayor's office this morn ing, in which a persistent young man and a willing young lady figured. They have been lovers for some time. The girl's fain er is a farmer and lives near here. He objected to the young man casing on his daughter and forbade him the premises. The girl's mother, however, did not take sides with her husband and told the young man to come. The young man took the wife's ,ord nd came. The husband then indicted the young man for trespass. A warrant was served on the persistent youth and the wife of the man who swrore out the warrant went on the young man's bond ! The point argued at the trial was that the man did not have en tire possession of the place, as it was the property of the father-in law, who occupied a room in the house with his son-in-law, and that it was agreeable for the young man to see the old gen tleman. The case was decided against the prosecutor, it being maintained that the wife and husband were one and that she had equal right to invite the young man to come on the place. An appeal was taken to the Su perior court. The incident brings up the question : "Have a man and his wife equal rights on the premises, under the law?" Heavy Fine For Delinquents. A certain Missouri editor, says Pointers, who is evidently out of patience with the non paying subscriber, has given notice that hereafter the sub scription price of his paper will be $1, if paid in advance, or $5 if not paid in advance. He says the man who expects to pay for his paper is willing to pay in advance, and the man who does not expect to pay has no riglit to object to the $5 price. He argues that by this method, if theie be any who do not pay m advance, they will owe him enough to justify him 111 bring ing suit. It is understood the brother has no copyrights on this plan, so that all are free to get in line on the newest scheme to break even with the dead beat subscribei. Ncwspaper dom. The Convicts The number of Federal pris oners in the North Carolina pen itentiary hs been reduced to 100. and as only United States prisoners convicted in this btate are now sent there the number will grow still smaller. There are 90 convicts emploed in the shirt factory, and the output is 100 dozen pel dayr There are now 54 kmale convicts, all- in the main prison, 38 of them wc rking in the shirt factory and the others in the laundry and making clothes tor the convicts. The health of the convicts is pretty good. I have been afflicted with rheumatism for fouiUen years ; and nothing seemed to give an relief.

WHY FIXED AT 40 DAYS Last Wednesday Was What is Known as Ash Wednesday, the Beginning of Lent. It is a sacred season of vener able antiquity and whether it was observed by the Apostles as a fixed period of fasting or was not established until the organi zation of the church, all author ities agree in saying that for a time at least before the anniver sary of the Resurrection of Christ a fast was observed by the primitive Christians; and it is the general concensus of mod ern opinion tnat tnis last ot forty days was practically the ancient type of the modern laws. In St. Luke v., 35, Christ said : "But the days will come when the bride groom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast in those days." This was taken by the early Chriss tians to mean that there should be a period of selt-denial and fasting before the events leading up to His Passion and Crucifix' ion wire commemorated. Even if Lent was not a long season of fasting among the primitive Christians, it soon be came so, and there are ecclesias tical records to show that prior to the Fourth century the Len ten season was generally fixed at forty days, and this period preceeded the festival of the Resurrection or Easter. The custom has lasted, then, for at least 1,500 years, practically as it is today. The Roman eccle siastical name for Lent is Jejun- ium Quadragesimalc, "the fast of torty days.' The English word Lent is from the Anglo Saxon word Lencten, meaning Spring, with reference to the season in which it occurs. The manner of observing Lent during the first seven cen turies of tlie Christian era vai ied, yet it is also true that very strict laws for its obedience were enacted, and Charlemagne, when he conquered Saxony, went to the ltugth cf ordering that a Saxon should be liable to death if he wantonly disregard ed the prescribed observances of the holy season. It has always been the geners al opinion that the early and finally the prevailing idea of fix ing the Lenten period at forty days grew out of the forty day periods in the Bible. Jonah in his denunciation gave Ninevah forty days of grace Moses and Elijah were forty days in the wilderness. Christ leasted and underwent temptation for forty days. So it was natural that a great com memorative and penitential ob servance like Lent should, by general and gradual consent and custom fix itself upon a period ol forty days. Successive edicts of the chutch moulded Lent into its present form over 1,000 years ago, and since then it has remained prac tically unaltered. Many Protestants voluntarily observe Lent with prayer and penitence and fasting. Ir the Roman Catholic church, the Greek church, the Anglican church, and the Epis copal church in this country, which is one in doctrine with the Anglican, or English church, the observance of Lent iS The custom of celebrating Easter Sunday with elaborate services of song has been gieat- ly amplified in the Roman Cath olic and Episcopal churches within the past few years, and nearly all the Protestant denom inations, particularly in the cities, have begun to take notice of the day. Ash Wednesday falling on February 28th this year makes Palm Sunday April 8th, Good Friday April 13th, and Eastet Sunday April 15th. THE ACTRESS MAKE-UP She Must Resort to Artifice to Fit Her Features to Her Role's Demands. "If an actress' features are ir regular she has to treat them specifically," writes Franklin Fyles in the March Ladies' Home Journal "If her nose is a pug or a turn-up she draws a line down its centre to the very tip end. On each side of this line she lays on a light, bluish gray tint The effect of that is to lengthen the nose when the full face is seen. Of course the illusion is lost when the proSle is presented If the cheeks are too plump the lower halves of them are daikened. An imita tion of youthftlness is helped by making the color very light just below the eyes. If the cheek bones are high and the cheeks hollow below them, the former are whitened and the latter red dened. When an actress is called upon to 'make up for a charact er part,' which means preparing l n a -1 nerseii to represent an old. or eccentric woman, her methods are much the same that men use under the same circumstances. Few young women on the stage like to look old. Stage managers have to struggle to make them conceal their youth even when the characters require it. They I . At t are apt to lose veas as soon as his vigilance is relaxed." NOT SMALL POX. A West Tennessee physician advances an interesting opinion on the disease that is prevalent in portions of the South, and which is called smallpox by nearly all the doctors. He con tends that the disease is not smallpox at all, but belongs to the numerous family of rashes. This brings to mind that some first-class physicians in other portions of the State have taken issue with their brethren in the diagnosis of some of the cases ol the disease. Down at Columbia, we recall, tr. W. K. Sheddon, who is regarded as one of the best physicians in Middle Ten nessee, stoutly- maintained, against nearly all his profession al associates, that the disease there is not smallpox. There have been other dissenters to the general verdict. The West Tennessee physician who ad vances the theory that the prev alent disease is not smallpox is Dr W. B. York, of Crocket county. Dr. York does not claim to be more wise than oths er physicians, and merely gives this information for the consids eration of the profession. In this connection it may not be out ot place to remark that one of two things is evident that physicians have learned to treat the disease more successfully, or it is not the old kind of smalls pox that prevails in this State to day. The low death rate makes this plain. Chattanooga (Tenn.) News. Constipation is cured by Hood's Pills, the non irritation cathartic. Sold by all druggists. SUPPLANTED MEN.

"The tide of women rush- inepellniell into all kinds 0f business has been stemmed in fact, it is already receding, and "It has already been asserted by female agitators that the grow ing tendency to dismiss women from various business positions is because of the opposition ol men to the employment of wo men. ua tue contrary, men were willing to have women go into business pursuits, and it wac ,b tim1 nncihAn to them TTnrlnnhtfHI v wnc . , .

Smoking: Stunts the Growth of Boys. Whatever difference of opin ion there may be upon the ad- visability of smoking for men, there is none as to its pernici ous effect upon boys. It affects the action of the heart and re duces the capacity of the lungs. Young men who are being train ed for athletics are not permit ted to smoke by their trainers because as they say, "It is bad for the wind." The argument that will appeal most forcibly to your boy is that smoking will stunt his growth; It has been proved that youthful smokers are shoiter and weigh less than their comrades who do not smoke. Cigarrettes are particuK arly injurious. Nicotine, the active principle of tobicco, is j i i u i. I saiu uy cocraisia lc, ucai w prussic acid, the most rapidly fatal poison known.
