We regard the women suf frages movement as the most ^ senseless, the most foolish, and | unwarrented tiling attempted | apparently for their advance-, ment, ever undertaken by ai class. There is nothing to | justify it, and the only men outside of an insane assyluni that approves of woman suffrage are those who do not seem to be possessed of sense surficient or princepal to care a snap for the elevation of woman, who do not care for her good, and who would welcome any thoughtless change in the method of her lile for the fun of the thing. No well sexed woman who properly appreciates her responsabilities, to her self, her friends, or her ivlcnoo, VVyndg’cul, at Cos Cob, Conn., which lie has just sold. “And one day,” he aaiJ, “I asked a 1 ttle boy in one of my camps to tell mo sumetliing wonderful about birds. “Why.’ Slid ihe little boy. “how they come out, of the egg*., Lhat’s won- drrful.’ “Now,’ I went on, “tell me some thing about them more wonderful still,’ ‘•Why,’ he answered, ’it’s more wonderful how they ever got into the e^rgs.” JONES IS IN THE RIGHT. Saturdays report of the doings of the Legislature at Raleigh says: The bill to provide for clerical as- s’stence to the supreme court reporter, with a favorable report from the appropriations committee, having been previously pas?ed upon by judiciary comnvitteo No. 1 cutting down the appropriation from $720 to $400 raised a little breeze. Senator Jones of Foryth who opposed the bill stated that he was not before the appropriations committee because he had to be elsewhere, but he] was here now, and that he would not vote for the increase of a single salary until h > could see where the money was coming from. He was here to take care of the|jinsane, the blind and the children, and then if it was necessary to prune to do so on these salary mat ters. If any officer thought be was not paid enough, his advice,to him was to resign. If this bill was insisted upon he would move to table it. Senator Jones is evidently doing some thinking, and fortu nately for North Carolina he is thinking about the States best interest. With a large deficit already against the States ballance, and with a pauper school fund for children, Senator Jones sees reasons for retrenchment. While discussing the matter Senator Tdnes told of a committee clerk of last session who had only one entry in his book when he turned it in and drew the full $4 a day and a dollar extra. He noticed that while he was away the senate had put on two more clerks whereas not one of the committees really needed a clerk. There is something seriously wrong, or roten with a number of those sent to the Legislature of North Corolina. They mani fest absolutely no interest what ever in w’hat concerns the good of the State. They are read> and anxious to create new offices, and increase the salery of old ones. But who is it that is seriously standing to the rack urgmg economy in the adminis tration of the affairs. Who is it that is trying to protect the States good name, and to see that h er criminal courts for the trial of capital cases are not made a mockery, who is it that wants a jury system, that means honesty, and equity, who wants to see the rich scoundrel punished as well as the poor devil. We understaiid that there is a disposition to lighten the duties of some lazy judges, by increasing the number on the bench. There is a laudable dis position to take from the negro his heaven dust, the cocain,but is there a lawyer in .North Carolina that opens his lips in protest against the temptation offered by pawn shops to sell to vicious and irresponsable negroes, and white men pistols, to shcotdown their fellovv-man, often without the slighest provocation, although there is a legal travesty upon the statutes that prohibits the' carrying of concealed weapons. We hope Senator Jones will wake them up and then prod them hard. The State has much to be ashamed of, despite the aurola, and nimbus, scintilla that favorit frauds, crown each other with. “GALLERY GOD” SPOILED IT Why Maurice Barrymore Cohcelved ^Dislike for His “Heart of Mary- land” Part. All the good stories which the lat® Maurice Barrymore, father of Ethel, Lionel and John Barrymore, told on himself never have been published and probably never will be. Barrymore was In Kansas City just prior to his final collai>se and here is a story he told: Barrymore was Mrs. Leslie Carter’s leading support when that celebrated actress appeared in Belasco’s produc tion of “The Heart of Maryland.” In ihe big third act Barrymore, the hero, was in the hands of the designing vil lain, who had caught him off guard. Iwo rookies bound Barrymore’s hands and the villain, left alone with his prey, taunted the hero. It was Barrymore’s “business” to squirm and to wail. “Oh, If my hands were free,” he would repeat several times, as ho tried vainly to break the rope which tield him fast. The villain would ap proach and snap his fingers right un- Jer Barrymore’s nose. "Loosen my hands, you devil!” [iarrymore would exclaim. One night at this great and exciting Qioment In the scene Barrymore had just finished his dare to the villain to TT 1 11 1 ...r loosen his hands when the traditional Under the old law tlie ti'casurer was ^ ^ ^ z ^ ■, ,, . . _ gallery god yelled out in sharp, clear j paid a small commission for collecting, .f mov And heretofore j -\vhy don’t you kick him in the It may pieafet [ ^ comn'. jsion Surprise Your Friends For four weeks regularly use Dr. King’s New Life Pill?.

Mothers Can Safely Buy The wise woman when superintend ing the building of her home will add a eunroom to the house. This Is a place where the children can gain health. Greenhouses are built to give sun light to plant life, but the children are allowed to grow in sunless rooms. The sunroom is best when built upon the second floor, facing east and south. The numerous windows should be built close together and set in a slop ing roof. This room should be arranged so that It Is conveniently Independent of the rest of the house, in case of ill ness. Paint the walls cream, and have the floor parquet. Carpets and ruga should be eliminated from the sun room. They harbor dust and germs. Where the floor and wall Join, a curve should be made, as in the r.iOd- ern hospitals. The furniture should be of thr :i:> plest; comfortable chairs^ settr^ nd cushions with washable covers ? ^uld be the rule. Here, during the spring months, the children can study with particularly good results^ and spend all recreation hours In this room.
