Concentration and. an Ootimistic Tempera' S m r . : mem are jyecessary. By Sir Alfred Harmsworitu LL through the world today there are millions of young men wondering how they are to obtain success. In some measure good fortune is. of course, possible to 7very one who reads my words and is blessed with health. . All cannot be equally prosperous in their affairs, Dut every one can make some kind of mark. But nnt sinner the old roads. i 'Education all over the world I do not say the best edu cation, but the kind that makes money is increasing. As a result brains work more ranldlv. thoueh nerhaos not as thoroughly as they did in the past Active minds are breaking away from tradition and mak ing fortunes, in many cases, by an actual reversal of the policy of their fore fathers, - -. :;-.-vc.;. . ... . ' :. . It is not, in my opinion and I base 'my statement on knowledge of suc cessful men in, many lands the young man who seeks an appointment in an. old-fashioned store and settles down to the humdrum work of doing ms amy V7ho necessarily makes a fortune. There are thousands of men in this and every other city who are trying to make fortunes that wayand never will. It is the man who. goes into the store and teaches his employer to sell new kinds of goods in new kinds of ways who eventually becomes strong enough t enforce his demands to a share or tnai shop or some4, other shop. But he must be well all the time in body, so that his mind may devote it self to the great secret of success concentration. Fortunes may come to greats gamblers now and then, and such disastrous examples do, I know, disturb the minds of young men. And every venture in life is, I admit, a little of a gamble. But after all it is concentration of pur pose that is the backbone of 91 success in the world, whether it be that of the poet or the pork packer. The man who has cultivated the habit of concentra- - . .. . uon looks around every proposition so thoroughly that he is not, as a ruie, giv en to buying gold bricks. - The gambler not. only buys them, but seeks them. Witness the disastrous story of the combine of the shipbuilding yards of this country. We have plenty of gamblers on our side of the Atlantic, but we do not as a rule, as yet. gamble in industries, and I hope we never shall. After concentration has. brought about the initial success, optimism of temperament is necessary. It does much to carry with it those who are wound one and brings with it that leadership which then becomes essential. When Ferdinand de Lesseps began to talk of cutting the Suez Canal no one believed him, and as a matter of fact, as he himself confessed, he was on the wrong track at first But gradually his forceful optimism persuaded indi vidual after individual, and then nation after nation, that the thing could and should be done, and it was done, despite the belief of great engineers that the task was impossible. His career is aa ideal one to study from the point of view of one seeking success. He did a new thing in a new way, and he con centrated his whole existence on it. It is the study of that kind of life that I. suggest to those who are looking tor fortunes. Get rich quick is more dangerous even than idle pipe dreaming. Concentration and new methods are winners every time. New York World. Apparitions After Death By Jlndrew Lang. V WW. j. n t 5 ' - titti ft- ifi A -I- A it. I-HHjHjHjKji OW are we to explain apparitions of the dead? The evidence - V -. - m 1 t iur mese was mncn less copious, ana, necessarily, mucn less satisfactory. No coincident crisis in the affairs of the dead could, of course, be detected, as in the case of the living. Again, even if we grant that telepathy between the living is a fact in nature, a ghost of the dead can hardly hope to prove his identity. .. v To take a case: A young American commercial tnfveler alone in his room at a hotel, suddenly saw his dead sister standing beside him. He rose to embrace her, but she fled like the shade of the mother of Odysseus in Homer. He went to his distant home, and told his parents, adding that' on the cheek of his sister there was a scratch- which he nad not seen m her lifetime. The mother explained that in arranging, when aione, flowers around the dead body of the sister in the coffin, she had acci dentally scratched the face, but concealed the mark with powder. Now, if telepathy exists, the mother, brooding over the memory of tho flaugnter, might transmit the whole vision of the dead, scratch and all, to the mma or her distant son. Harper's Magazine. O I 2 sU The Voice SWtav s a Source of lie venue By Ella Morris Kretschmar. kMw i NL.Y recently from a handsome and well-educated chorus girl I learned something about the voice as a source of revenue iu a ity. ine requirements or cnoir positions are first, a voice of superior quality and volume j second, training, and third, ability to read at sight Qualified for a choir rjosition. the chances for securing one are forlornly remote, there be ing aozens or applicants for every possible place. Parlor engagements;-fall to the lot of only a rare few, while concert engagements are, or course, out of the question for all but voices oi exiraoramary quality, -- ' For a girl with a voice of really excellent quality and fair training, the on ly opening seems to oe tne chorus of light and grand opera. For the latter, voice is tae cniei essential, out tor the former, a good figure, grace of move ment and aptitude for learning gestures, difficult evolutions and dan ops .r further requirements.. Alsothe ability to look happy is necessary, as the pen-alty-for appearing serious, troubled or unhappy while on the stage is dismissal. The salary of the chorus' girl ranges from twelve to twenty dollars per week from which she must pay her board while on the road and lay up something against montns or summer idleness. The work of the chorus girl Is very tax ing, there being always one and sometimes two rehearsals a day, lasting two or three hours?, and sometimes when: new pieces are being put on, or revised ana penectea wnne running, it is necessary to rehearse all iiight after a nor- - wrmance. uoua nouse eeping. , t ' ...

It is from Italy that fencing, as a refined art, first spread over Europe; not from Spain, as it' has been asserted by many writers. It is in the Italian rapier play of the late sixteenth century that we find the foundations of fencing in the modern sense of the word. The Italians if we take their early books as evidence, and the fact that their phraseology of fence was adopted by all! Europe were the first to perceive (as soon as the problem of armor breaklns ceased to be the most important one in a fight) the superior capabilities fox elegant slaughter possessed by the point s compared with the edge. The accordingly reduced the breadth of their swor 1 . modified the hilt portion there of to admit of a readier thrust action, and rele ;ted the cut to quite a second ary position in their system. - With this lighter eapon they devised in course cf time that brilliant, cunning, catlike play known as rapier fence.

Hon. Frederick Philips died ' at' his residence in this place Saturday morning at eight o'clock. He hrf'd been in. failing health for more than a year and returned only a few weeks ago from Baltimore where he had been to Johns Hopkins hospital for treatment. Judee Philips was one of Tarboro oldest and most highly esteemed citi zens. He belonged to a large and in fluential family that were among-the earliest settlers .of the country. He was a son of the late Dr. J. J. rnnips loner a oooular and skillful physician All -his life . had been spent here and he was known to everybody in the county. He was a successful lawyer, t man whose knowledge of business en abled'him to accumulate a large, for- ;tune, a public-spirited-, and patriotic man. and a man of uncommon sense and judgement His last public ap pearance was when he delivered the memorial address two years ago. JHe had prepared at great labor and after lone research a list of all the men Edgecombe sent to the Confederate army. In that address he paid a beautiful tribute to the. women of the Confederacy. He took deep interest in everything that pertained' to the Confederacy and his old comraaes, and heartily seconded the efforts to build the . Confederate monument un veiled here last year. His health was such that he could not attend and a telegram was sent of regret that he could not be present at the unveiling Bloody Fight Over a Girl. Elizabeth City, Special. Particulars have reached the city of a bloody fight which occurred at Davis store, in Providence -township, about one mile from Berea, and about seven miles from this city, Saturday night. The origin of the trouble, whicn 'was between the McPhersons and the Jen nings, seems to have been caused by the attention that was bestowed on one of the vIcPhersons and one of the Jennings boys by a young lady of the neighborhood. Sometime, ago. so it is reported, John Pritchard, who is a member of the McPherson grpup, gave the young lady in the case' a watch She in turn loaned or gave it to young Grover Jennings. Pritchard saw Jen nings with the watch, and it was de cided that all should meet one night last week and .settle the matter. The meeting was postponed until Saturday night, when all met at Davis' store and the' melee began. Just how it started no one is able to tell, but when the smoke had cleared away it was found that three of the McPherson boys were badly cut, two of them se riously, one having his throat cut and the other "had his ear entirely severed. Daniel Jennings, father of the Jen nings boys, aged about 60 years, was right badly cut in the shoulder, and two of the Jennings boys were cut, one In the arm and the other in the face During the fight which . lasted for some time, Mrs. Davis, in front of whose house it occurred, acted as sur geon, and bound up the wounds of each injured combatant as he fell. Simmons on Statehood. Senator Simmons addressed the Senate Monday afternoon in opposi tion to the Beveridge statehood bill. Senator Simmons occupied the atten tion of the Senate for about two hours, this being the second extemporary speech which the senior Senator from North Carolina has delivered in the Senate. The chief contention of the Senator was that Arizona would suf fer most by the proposed union with New Mexico, and the delegate from Arisjpna referred to the speech as an exceedingly effective presentation of the subject Senator Simmons said that his interest in the subject of state hood had been increased by facts given him by Mr. B. R. Lacy, who held the position of Treasurer in his State. Mr. Lacy, said the Senator, had made a can vas of Arizona during the last cam paign. In presenting the claims of Arizona to separate statehood Mr. Sim mons made the declaration that while much of the land in Arizona was arid that it would respond to irrigation in such a way as to become as productive ns the valley of the Nile, which had sustained sixty millions of people. Some Important Measures. Among the important measures so far presented to the House the following arc under consideration: The bill before the Legislature, pro viding for the Soldiers' Home, carries ?15,U00 annually for maintenance this year and next year, $3,000 forvbuild ing improvements this year and $2,000 for next year. This will enable the home to provide for 150 veterans. Mr. Warren, of Jones', introduced a bill to increase the salaries of Superior end Supreme Court judges to $3,000 all around, with no other allowances. This bill is similar to the Scales Senate bill, except the amount of salary is $3,000 instead of $4,000. It is believed to be the amount the House members will agree to. pass with but little opposi tion. ' Another bill of Mr. Warren's in creases pay of jurors in magistrates' courts from 25 cents to 50 cents per clay. , ' Major Graham's bill to amend the homestead -law proposes to . give a homesteader the right to select a differ ent tract of land from the one first a-sisgnefl him, should circumstances arise to make it preferable. One of the bills of general imoprt- ance introduced by Winborne provides that the transportation company issu ing the recefpt for freight shall be the responsible party in1: a suit' or claom for lost or damaged property shipped. A bill by Mr. Warren of interest, to the legal profession provides that a civil case shall stand for trial the. fix st term If the summons and a veri fied complaint is issued and served SO days prior to the term of court7 - (; - Charges of Attempted Bribery Freely - Made . EFFORTS TO BUY CAUCUS VOTES Representatives in the Missouri Legis lature Declare They, Were Offered Money to "Cast Their Ballots For Niedringhaiis.' - Jefferson City, Mo., Special. Thorn as R. Niedringhaus, Republican caueus nominee for 'United States Senator to succeed Francis M. Cpckrell, and Re publican State chairman "did not file a ' complete statement of receipts of his committee" in-the recent -cam paign, as required by-law, but "no 'di rect evidence has been offered to show that contributions to the Republican State campaign f and by St. - Louis brewers were for the purpose of in fluencing legislation," according to a partial report of the Senate investigat ing committee. The committee it is not ready to report; on-Federal patronage and its influence in the senatorial con test, and it asks for more tijne to in vestigate. The partial report to the Senate fromt? its committee which has been in vestigating the charge that Adolphus Bjtisch and Otto Stifel, St. Louis brew ers, had contributed largely to the Mis sori campaign fund to influence State legislation and these contributions had been turned in by Niedringhaus as- an item of $21,237.51 contributed by him self,, is signed by all members of the committee, including two Republican Senators. During the-day's sesion of the Sen ate committee Representative Cooke, of Howell county, testified that an at tempt had been made to buy his "cau cus vote for Niedringhaus. Representative Cook said he voted in the caucus for R. C. Kerens. He declared that Postmaster Hallenbock, of West Plains, had made the advances to him, saying he came direct from the headquarters of the Kepublican State committee in St. Louis, where he had talked with -Mr. Niedringhaus, State chairman. Cook said Hallenbock told him there would be money in it for him if he voted for Niedringhaus. Mr. Niedringhaus denied that either Hallenbock or any other person had any authority to make any representa tions on his part. A dinner is said to have been held at the home of R. C. Kerens on Saturday night at which it was alleged plans were formulated to defeat Niedringhaus and to strengtn en the forces of Kerens, who was Niedringhaus' nearest competitor. Mrs! Duke Disappears. New York. Special. Mrs. Brodie L. Duke, was ordered out of the. Union Square Hotel, the proprietors having be- erne tired of havine an armv of nri- vate detectives around the place. In stead of moving, Mrs. Duke locked her self in her room and refused to let any one come near her. Earlier in the day she had had" a Dr. Cook In to spr hr and he had told the -hotel people that the was on the verge of nervous pros tiation and must not be disturbed. Later it was found Mrs. Duke had quietly left the hotel by the back el airs. She told her maid she would soon return, but she will not be al lowed to do so. - Chanine S. Andrews, who wn re tained to take charge of Mr. Duke's interests by the latter's secretary, Mr. Kramham. was confident that Mr- Duke would be released on Thurs day. I am informed hv reliable anthoritv that Mr. Duke is worth $500,000," said Mr. Andrews, "and that he has an ad ditional income from a trust fund in the hands of his . father of $15,000 a", (ar. His son, Lawrence, gets $4,000 a year, aiso ms aaugnters. Mabel ana I-earl, from the same source. There is no excuse for incarcerating a perfectly sane man in an asvlnm lust ' hecanse he has done .something of which his family does not approve. - Mr. Duke should have been allowed to work out thr annulment of his marriaee in his own way, which I have no doubt he v.ouid nave aone.

A Misunderstanding. Washington, Special. Owing to a misunderstanding among the members of the sub-committee of the House committee on industrial, arts and ex positions, instructed to prepare a. plan for the celebration -of the settlement. of Jamestown, Va., the full committee referred the matter back to the sub-committeee with definite instruc tions, either carrying an appropriation or not. for the government's participa tion in the land portion of this en terprise.

Washington, D. C The human na ture of the debate on the Govern ment's cotton estimates, in the Agri cultural , Committee of the House of Representatives, has excited general admiration. Mr. Livingston, repre senting the cotton-growing constituen cies of Georgia, remarked in commit tee, that though at first "he had not charged falsehood against the officers of the Department" in their 12,500,000 bale estimate, "he "now proposed to charge both these things." Mr. Lever ing, from a cotton-spinning district of Massachusetts, retorted that the crop, instead of geing 12,000,000 bales,, ".will prove to be nearer 14,000,000." - ., . ; , " ' ' - , The Price of Paper.
