Praised in His Own Opinion. It is hard for the average man to understand of how little importance be is in the eyes of others. Even if he has done something which makes "everybody talk," the talk is of short duration, and the subject is soon superseded by trivial matters in the talkers own province, outside of which he has little real interest. If tempted to be egotistic, it is well to reflect that no one's interest in you at all compares with that you feel io yourself. Au egotist is always self-conscious; he imagines every body is impressed with his superior ity, and self, with a capital S, is par amount. This vain belief in their own importance, which most people cherishris not all a source of unmix ed happiness. It will work either way. There is no commoner form of mor bid misery thau that of the poor ner vous men or women who fancy that they are the subject of universal un kind remark, or who think everybody is conspiring against them. There are several ways in which self-consciousness disagreeably evinces its existence. One is the manner in which some people enter a church or public meeting. They walk as if the eyes of the whole congregation were burning upon them, and pose during sermon or lecture for the public eye. Another form of self-consciousness is awkwardness aud bashfulness, which arises not from the euse of superiority, but from the opposite cause of self depreciation. Many people are so imbued with their own imperfections that they imagine everybody is impressed with the same idea, and it makes them ill at ease and embarrassed. If they commit some slight blunder, they are consumed with mortification, and inwardly writhe over it long after the incident has been forgotten by those who witnessed it. Self-consciousness is a fault, like everything else, and it is only where we realize our own personal insignificance in this great big world and forget self and selfish motives, that we can truly acquire the charm of naturalness and truly correct deportment. The Libellous 3Iirror. Is'o doubt the human race would consider it little short of a universal tragedy if there were no looking glasses. Yet in spi'e of their wide spread use it is an astonishing fact that we have never seen ourselves its others see us. In the first place, the reflection in the mirror does not por tray our likeness with any attempt at accuracy. The hair is wrong in tone, the eyes are cot correct in col or, and our complexions are hope lessly libelled by this specious house hold deceiver. It is certain that if looking glasses spoke the truth the sale of various complexion washes would decrease to half, for any fair skin looks gray and pallid in the glass, and numbers of women who have splendid complexions ruin them because they look bad in the mirror. You may be certain that, however plain your face seems, it is by no means so plain as it appears in the tell tale mirror. Secondly, you cannot as sume your natural expressions while peering in the looking glass. The eye must be in a certain position be fore you can see at all, and the eye, so far as expression is concerned governs the face. The consequence is that you can see only one of your expressions in the glass, and that ex pression is one of attentive examina tion. All the other expressions by which your friends know you, favor able or unfavorable, you have never seen and never will see, which, may be to your benefit after all. CauKlit a Dreadful Cold. Marion Kooke, manager for T. M. Thompson, a large importer of fine mil inerv at l'i.rH Milwaukee Avenue, Chic ago," says: "During the late severe weather I caught a dreadful cold which kept me awake at night and made me unfit to attend my work during the day. One of my milliners was taking Cham berlain's "Cough Remedy for a severe cold at that time, which seemed to re lieve her so quickly that I bought some for myself. It acted like magic and I began'to improve tit once. I am now entirely well and feel very pleased to acknowledge its merits." Tor sale by M. K. Robinson & Bro., J. F.

Jack sonville has got the smallpox scare. It is not a panic, for there has been no deaths, but there are about forty cases and the board of health have got them out of town and have ordered universal vaccination. A child can't go to school without a sore arm and a certificate from the doctor. My son is a doctor here and it interests me to note the flocks of children who come aDd go, and to listen to their talk. Mothers or sisters come with them to keep their courage up. Some are timid and some are brave. Young men come at night and take their turns, and the city will soon be immune. What a wonderful discovery it was only a hundred years ago Dr. Jenner dared to proclaim it to the world, and it took twenty-five years to make the world believe it. Now every child that bares its arm to re ceive the virtue, is a living monu ment to the sagacity of that great and good man. It is pathetic to read how he was hounded and per secuted by the envious and malig nant of the medical profession. How patiently he waited for time and truth to prove his theory, and lived to see it all confirmed, and when he died a beautiful monument was erec ted in Trafalgar square to honor his name and perpetuate his fame and memory. Our own Dr. Crawford Long is entitled to a similar memo rial, not only by the state, but by the nation, for although he did not protect mankind from a pestilence, he did give them immunity from pain under the surgeon's knife. I remember well when the patient had to clinch his teeth and strong men had to hold him while the doctor cut and sawed his limb in two. I remember when it was my part to hold the foot and leg that was be ing severed from a poor sufferer, and when at last the saw had cut through the bone and the weight of the limb came down upon me, I fainted and fell down upon the floor with the bleeding leg. But Evans never groaned. He lived to make me another pair of boots. I remem ber when at college, in 1S40, I had a jaw tooth extracted and took what was then called Morton's Lethean; and dident know when it was pulled. It took me some time to get over it, and as I was reeling back to college I met Professor McCoy, and in a hi larious manner slapped him on the shoulder and said: "Hello, old Mack!" and he thought I was drunk aud had me up before the faculty. My room-mate, Derrell Cody, was with me and tried to explain, but the professor wouldent hear him and we had fun next morning when the truth came out. The professor apologized to me and not long after invited me to supper. Poor Bill Williams was there good, loving Bill Williams. He was my class mate and I loved him, and mourned for him, when he died. He had charge of the Blind asylum, at Ma con, for many years. Every now and then the boys drop out. Just drop out and the procession moves on. I read of every one and feel sad but that is all I can do. A friend in Atlanta asked me the other day, "Why dident you write something about Eugene Harris, your college mate and one of the truest, kindest and best men who ever lived." "Of course, of course," said I, "but what could I write." He was a friend in need, a friend indeed an aristocrat by birth, a gentleman in heart and manners. Lost everything by the war except the gentleman that was born in him. He died poor and was buried by his friends, but he was a big-hearted gentleman to the very last. How kind he was to my wife and little children during the war, when they were fleeing from the foul invader and I was far away. That's all! He was not a great man in any sense, but he had a great big heart and would have died for a friend. That's all! If I can't find him in heaven, I shall be disappointed. My wife says he was the best friend she ever had when she was in the great est distress. Easter is over and will soon be for gotten. I brought down some Easter eggs for a little grandsoD. His cou sin dyed them for him and he was very curious to know more about them, and said to his mother, "Mam ma, who is this Easter man and where does he live?" "He lives up in heaven," she said, "and his name is Jesus." "Is he selling eggs up there?" he asked. How these little chaps do perplex us with their ques tions. Little Mary Lou has the whooping cough and dident want to take her medicine. "If you don't take it," said her mother, "you may die." "Well, mamma, if I do die I will go to heaven, where God is, and he will give me a pony." I wish the grown-up people were as trusting and innocent as the children. "Suf fer little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven" is one of the sweetest verses in the scriptures. The preachers may quar rel about the confession of faith and infant salvation, but the mothers don't want any better faith than is in that verse, and that other one, where David said of his child: "He cannot come to me but I shall go to him." There is another remark that I will make about mothers. Not one believes her dead son is lost, no mat ter how wicked he was. The mother expects to meet him in heaven and if he is not there how can she be happy? God knoweth. We do not. All that a poor mortal can do is to trust Him and do good. Bill Arp. Strange Cases of Telepathy. Belleville, 111., April 22. Mrs. Elizabeth Mueller, of this place, sent a telepathic message across three states to her son, whom she had not seen in eighteen years and who was supposed to be dead, and summoned him to her deathbed. Eighteen years ago Paul Mueller went away from Belleville with a cir cus. After a time letters ceased coming from him, and as the years passed he was given up as dead. A week ago his mother was taken sick and it became evident that she would die. She received an impression that her son was alive and called for him. He was at Dayton, O., an inmate in the Soldiers' Home, lie could not sleep, and in the middle of the night it seemed to him that his mother was calling for him. Three n'ghts he passed sleeplessly hearing the calls. He obtained a furlough and last night he arrived here, a few hours before her death. Cleveland, O., April 22. In the midst of a song at Trinity Congrega tional church last night Mrs. A. A. Langdon, a noted singer, stopped suddenly and left the platform with tears streaming down her face. She was assisted to the dressing room by her husband, where she burst out in to hj-sterical crying. "Something awful has happened," she cried. Her husband tried to soothe her and as sure her that there was nothing wrong, but she was unable to resume singing. She was taken to her hotel in a carriage and there received a telegram from Asheville, N. C, an nouncing the death of her sister. Mrs. Langdon left the platform at 9:05 o'clock, the exact moment her sister expired. Fled With His Stenographer. Washington, Pa., April 23. A tremendous sensation was caused here to-day by the alleged elopment of J. W. Gessford, a wealthy and prominent business man, with Eliza beth Patterson, a pretty young blonde, who was employed by him as a stenographer. Gessford, who is the father of seven children, settled up his affairs here Saturday and se cretly turned over all his property to his wife. The girl went to her home in Pittsburg Saturday night and Gessford left here early Sunday morning and, it is said, oined the girl at Pittsburg. Mrs. Gessford says she received a letter from her husband to-day stating that he had married Miss Patterson, and inform ing her that all his wealth had been turned over to her. King of Counterfeiters a Suicide. New York, April 23. John Albert Skoog, most expert counterfeiter of modern times, died in Bellevue this morning from his self-inflicted wounds. Skoog, on the evening of April 0, was detected in passing "queer" money in a lower Broadway broker's office. He was pursued by a crowd. When capture seemed certain he fired two bullets into his head. A raid on his plant on Grand avenue, Brooklyn, revealed plates to counter feit money on Denmark, Scotland and the United States, also counter feits representing nearly $G0,000. Skoog posed as a photographer, and was engaged to a respectable youug woman. Reconciled by Daughter After Dirorce. New York, April 23. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick M. Nicholas were re married at noon yesterday at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Hopper, 2131 Broadway. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas were first married in Cleveland, O., twenty years ago. Three years ago they were divorced and Mrs. Nicholas came to this city to live with her mother, bringing her daughter Marjorie, 10 years old, with her. Recently Mr. Nicholas visited New York, and Marjorie spent some time with her father. Through the little girl the parents were brought together and a reconciliation fol lowed. The Best Remedy for Rheumatlam. QUICK BELIEF FROM PAIX. All who use Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheumatism are delighted with the quick relief from pain which it affords. When speaking of this Mr. D. N. Sinks, of Troy. Ohio, says: "Some time ago I had a severe attack of rheumatism in my arm and shoulder. I tried numer ous remedies but got no relief until I was recommended by Messrs. Oeo. F. Parsons & Co., druggists of this place, to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. They recommended it so highly that I bought a bottle. I was soon relieved of all pain. I have since recommended this liniment to many of my friends, who agree with me that it is the best remedy for muscu lar rheumatism in the market." For sale bv M. E Robinson & Bro., J. F.

Gor man, foreman of a copper mine, shot and killed George McCarthy, at Mil ton, Cal., Monday, and then blew himself to pieces with giant powder. A bill has been passed by the Ten nessee Legislature ceding a strip of territory twenty miles wide along the North Carolina line to the United States government as a part of the Appalachian forest reserve. Suffocated by gas, Charles N. Mclntyre and Kate Wildey were discovered in a room at the Ashland Hotel, Philadelphia, Tuesday morn ing. Both had evidently been dead for some time and were the victims of an accident. Some unknown person assassina ted Dr. H. S. Scruggs, Jr., near Memphis, Tenn., early Tuesday mornicg, while he was returning from visiting a patient. It is pre sumed that the murderer climbed upon the back of the vehicle and shot a bullet into the doctor's head. Two big engines attached to a pas senger train were struck by a huge snow-slide near Boulder, Col., Thurs day, and hurled into the chasm be low. Two engineers, two firemen and the conductor were killed. The train, which was heavily loaded with passengers, was not touched by the slide. A severe wind and rain storm swept over a portion of Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee and Louisiana, Thursday. New Orleans was partially flooded, and much damage was the result. A small Tennessee river steamer was sunk at Bridgeport, Ala., but no lives were lost. Every factory was compelled to shut down for repairs. The Lemars National Bank, at Le mars, Iowa, did not open fcr busi ness Tuesday. Thomas F. Ward, vice-president and manager, is a self-coufessed embezzler to the amount of $25,000 or $30,000. He has also absconded. It is alleged he took $30,000 with him or lost it dur ing the past few days in speculation, as it is missing from the vault of the bank. Ward departed Monday night. Stcrni and Flood Over Five States. The most disastrous storm and flood ever known in those parts made havoc Saturday in Pittsburg and other places in Western Pennsylva nia, as well as in Eastern Ohio, Northern New York, Northern West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky. Rivers rose to an unprecedented height, houses were washed away and hundreds of inmates were driven to take refuge in boats and on rafts. Loss of life was reported at various points. The damage from the flood direct ly will not fall below $1,000,000, while the losses indirectly will run into the millions. The greatest loss will be to the steel plants and facto ries that line the banks of these riv ers. The loss of time in putting the mills into shape for operation will be enormous. Great damage was done to railroad tracks, and on near ly all lines traffic was stopped and trains were stalled. Following these rains came a tre mendous snowfall, which reached from Canada to Atlanta, with its western border less than a hundred miles from Cincinnati. By its mere weight and by the force of the wind in many places there was almost a complete paralysis of all wire com munication across the snow belt. From 12 to 15 inches of snow lies over Eastern Ohio, Northwest Penn sylvania and over the greater part of West Virginia and Eastern Ken tuckj'. Canton, O., exprienced the worst blizzard in its history. Thirty-two inches of snow fell, and in many places the drifts were 15 feet deep. At Buffalo, N. Y., rain and snow did great damage to the Exposition buildiDgs and grounds, which were being put in shape for the opening on May 1st. Above Cincinnati, in Kentucky and West Virginia, and in the Ohio River Valley water shed the heavy rain caused a rise in the Ohio river, all the way from Pittsburg to Lou isville. Considerable damage is ex pected with the melting of the snow. Last Week Iu Trade Circles. Special CorreRpondence. New York, April 23, 1901. Business during the past week has continued active in the branches in which it was previously of large vol ume, and there has been some im provement in the depressed cotton goods trade, but no percepti ble gain in the demand for woolen goods. The iron and steel industry continues to lead all others in activi ty and strength, but the building and allied trades are exceptionally active; and steady gains in railroad earnings and in bank clearings at test the fact that the general busi ness of the country is in excess of all previous records. Foreign trade returns have continued favorable, although the last monthly statement from the Treasury Department showed a comparative decrease of $9,181,481 in exports. It should be remembered, however, that the March -total of $134,000,000 in 1900 was the largest with one exception up to that time, and the fall to $124,- 975,744 last month was in part due to lower prices rather than to smal ler shipments. Crop conditions con tinue generally encouraging. Busi ness failures during the past week, according to R. G. Dun & Co., num bered 20G in the United States and 21 in Canada, against 184 in this country and 17 in Canada during the corresponding week last year. Cotton prices have advanced I of a cent per pound, owing to stronger Liverpool advices, uncertain weath er conditions in the South and indi cations of betterment in the foreign demand for heavy cotton goods. Receipts of the staple, however.have continued large; exports have been moderate, and domestic spinners have bought sparingly. There has been increased demand for cotton goods for shipment to China, South Africa and Australia; but home trade demand has continued very moderate, and the general condi tions have not sufficiently improved to advance prices or to check the tendency toward curtailment of out put among the New England mills. The wool trade has been compara tively quiet. Many mills are tem porarily supplied for near wants, and as the downward tendency of wool prices has received a check, manufacturers find less incentive to buy freely in advauce of require ments. Wheat prices show practically no net change for the week. The bear ista innuence ot a tavorable crop prospect has been offset by mode rate receipts and an improved de mand-both from millers and expor ters. Speculative efforts to inflate prices by the circulation of reports of insect damage to the growing crop have been unsuccessful, as there has been no reliable evidence of im portant injury to the plant in any section. A favorable feature, from the wheat-holders' view-point, has been the continued moderate ship ments to Europe from Argentina Exports of wheat from that country so far during the present crop sea son have been only about half as large as the shipments thence dur ing the corresponding period last year. Exporters have been operat ing with some freedom, especially in the lower grades of wheat, which comprise a considerable percentage of the available supply. Unfavorable weather and bad roads in the West and the diversion of attention to spring work on the farms have been factors in restraint of large shipments of grain from the interior, and in the case of corn the light movement has been partly due to a strong holding sentiment, which has been encouraged by the contin ued manipulation of the Chicago market in the interest of the "bulls." The opening of inland navigation has not greatly influenced grain transportation to the East, owing to the relatively low rates in force on export shipments by the all-rail routes. Foreign demand for corn has been comparatively light, but with the aid of cheap ocean freights exporters have done a moderate bu siness in this cereal. Prices of corn are I to of a cent per bushel higher than they were a week ago. The market for hog products has slightly declined, the principal change hav ing been in lard, which is 25 cents per 100 pounds lower for the week. Exports of the latter product have I decreased, but the shipments of ; meats compare favorably with the liberal outflow during the corres ! ponding week last year. I Thinks Her Husband Has Left Her. Orange, N. J., April 23. Richard Coats, of this city, left his home at 1 noon to-day after asking his wife to ' call about 2 o'clock at his crockery ' and housefurnishing goods store at 1 Centre street.

The Shelby Star says that George McSwain, a good citizen of Cleveland county, 80 years old, has never tast ed beef or mutton. During the 00 years he has been keeping house there has never been a piece of beef or mutton on his table. He just never did fancy such things, but eats any other kind of meat. An altercation took place between two colored families on the farm of Mrs. Laurine Barnes, in Wilson county, Tuesday morning, which re sulted in the death of Dempsey Pool by a gun-shot wound inflicted by Stephen Simms. The latter, claim ing self defense, has been exonerated by the coroner's jury. Capt. John W. Fuller, of Gran ville county, has a well preserved slate, not a crack in it and with the same frame around it, which has been in his family 115 years. It was his graudfather's when he was a boy, who lived to be 85 years old, and then his father used it in his school days, and also his own children. Mack Orr, a young machinist, was killed at Liddell's foundr', in Char lotte, Wednesday afternoon. He was sitting on a crane lacing a belt when his right arm was caught either in a piece of belting or a portion of the shalfting. Before the ponderous machinery of the foundry could be stopped, his body was whirled around the shafting 300 times. The engine and one loaded coal car of a "mixed" train on the South Car olina and Georgia Railroad fell into Buffalo creek near Shelby, Saturday morning, by the giving way of the trestle, killing J. D. Me teal f, the en gineer. The passenger car attached to the rear was cut loose by the con ductor just in time to save the lives of the passengers. The trestle is CO feet high and 400 feet long. Harrison Durham, the 11-year-old son of Mark Durham, a government distiller, was shot to death in Ruth erford county, Monday, by two negro boys, with whom he had an al tercation. It is said young Durham, though only eleven years old, was a heavy drinker and always carried a pistol. The negroes, both pain fully shot, were carried to the Spar tanburg, S. C, jail, there being strong talk of lynching them. The regular annual session of the North Carolina State Board of Medi cal Examiners will be held at Dur ham, beginning May ICth.

The license 1 fee is $10. j All State institutions are by a new law forbidden to incur any debts, ' but the same act provides that the J council of State may authorize the allowance of funds to meet emergen cies. The council Wedu-.-sday allow ed $25,000 to the Western Hospital to prosecute the work on new build ings, the need for which is urgent, the money to come out of the regular appropriation. The council will take the same action regarding the other asylums, but will not do so regard ing any other institution. (ot W hat He Deserted. Anderson Boarders, colored, who lives near Statesville, gave one of his children a pistol to play with a few days ago. Anderson's wife scented danger and wanted the pistol taken from the child, but Anderson refused to permit this. Presently as a matter of course, the pistol was discharged and Anderson yelled to beat the band. Clasping Lis hands on his back he howled, "I'm gone! I'm gone!" The ball had taken effect in Anderson's back but as the weapon was a small, cheap affair, the wound is not considered dangerous and An derson isn't gone, as he feared. The opinion is that Anderson got what he deserved, says the Land mark. Having given the pistol to the child it is fortunate that it shot him instead of itself or some body else.
