' He says: "It would have been unnecessary for Gustave Dore to follow Dante for a text in order: to pic ture the horrors of hell. The govern ment has established freelraths at Hot Springs where thousands of the. most miserable of all God's creatures congre gate and. bathe 'for relief and a' cure ;from their loathsome diseases; The wretches ; leave . their- rags " upon the cemented r floors which are an inch deep in water, thenr stagger orvxeel or crawl naked as the fiends in the cham bers of hell. From thence; they crowd into a third room where the water and the air is up to 110. and the stench of bul odors is horrible. In this room are wo large pools like vats in a tan yard, d the victims tumble into them like ogs into a mud puacue. . mo aoctor, no soap, no towels, no attendants, and hey are soon hurried out to make room for more, for several hundred a lay is the maximum.

All are benefited and 10 per bent; are cured. What a picture I Their ives, such as they have made them, are not worth saving, but they cling to them and live in hope and defy despair. One hundred and seventy-eight thou sand of these human beings passed through the free baths last year. One path room is for white men, one for white women, one for negro men and one for negro women. . ' Not far away is a magnificent hotel, and there is a fashionable ball going on. The rich, the gay, the elite are there. One moment a man is waltzing with his wife, the next with some other man's wife, the next with Somebody's mistress, and the next with his own mistress, x Everything goes, and -all is hell. A famous physician took his daughter there this season, but sent ter home quickly to keep her from the company of wealthy and diseased para sites. Almost every one who goes there registers under an assumed name and plays incognito during his stay.

BalelgnPost. , - The following from the Charlotte Mill News, a paper-devoted; exclusively, and intelligently to the interests of mill ope ratives, is so crushing a refutation of the silly twaddle indulged in by "agitators and their alhes that we leproduce it; We have often thought that the' opera tives in, our North 'Carolina mills would resent sooner or later the - sudden in terest m their welfare, by. those who picture them as 1 'paupers" . and 'op pressed hirelings," without the spirit much less the opportunity to resist the cruel despotism under which they live. The following from The Mill News is an excellent . and truthful picture of : the general condition ; which - prevails throughout the mills in this State: '.'A certain class of writers are having much to say these days about what they term the deplorable condition of the Southern cotton "mill - operatives. They are striving hard to make the lm pres8ion on the public that the average mill operative is the most oppressed and downtrodden person on the face of the earth. It. is true many of the mill operatives are poor and -hard run," but there are poor people in all walks of life. ! ; '. 'There are many advantages offered the southern mill operatives that are superior to those enjoyed by many other classes of people,, and the mill people themselves appreciate these advantages. It makes no difference to them how much the professional growler, who makes his living by showing his teeth, talks about their 'terrible condition." They know he is either lying or don't know what he is talking about." While the condition of the Southern mill Op erative is not all that could be wished for,.it is much better than, that of the average farmer, and a thousand times better than the worthless men who do not toil themselves, but eke out an ex istance by making others feel miserable. "To show how baseless this charge of squalid poverty and merciless oppres sion of mill operatives is we will give a few facts and figures from one mill vil lage in this section. The operative of this mill have on deposit with the com pany and in banks amounts as follows: One family .... $1,200 . . 800 .... 700 .... 225 . . . . 130 . . . . 120. . . . ., 200 Oner family . . . One family . . . . One family of two One family of two , One young lady . . One family . . "In addition to these, there are quite a number of small deposits ranging from $10 to $100. Some ten or twelve other families are living in their own houses and paying for them . through the building and loan associations out of their weekly wages. "The above all belongs to a jnoral and self-respecting class of people who, instead of moving from place to place every lew weeks, stay at one mill for years, and by work and energy maLe tor themselves places at good wage A ' 'What is true of the operative of tli . village is true of the operatives jof many other mills throughout the' South. These people have more money to-day then four-fifths of the farmers who own their farms.- This does not look like the mill operatives are such a law, downtrodden lot of people as they have been painted by a set of men who claim to be their friends. "V "No; if some of those fellows who are strolling around over the country slandering and belittling the honest mill operatives of the South would go to work themselves and earn an honest liv ing, the country would be much better off." Followlns Up tne Argument. "Dr.-Fourthly, does the performance of one good act make a good man ?" "By no means." "Then why should the committing Of oneTsin make a man a sinner ?" "Well, suppose a man is covered with fleas. If vou remove one flea from him him you don't make hinj happy, do you?" "No." "Yet if he has just one flea on him he's a miserable man, isn't he ?" A Pleasing; Prediction. The professor was explaining to the class at a girls' high school the theorv according to which the human frame is completely renewed every seven years, and. addressing one of his pupils, he said: "Thus - Miss JtJrown, in seven-years you will be Miss Brown no longer." "I devoutly hope that may be so, said the young ladyj demurely casting down her eyes It was morning, and as he glanced out of the window he was surprised. "Why it rained last night," he re marked. ' There was a flash of lightning in his wife's eves as she turned on him. RainI "she exclaimed. "Well.. I guess it did rain, and I had to pull up the ; awning and put down the win dows." . - ' 'But you needn't have done, that," he protested; ".Why didn't you" wake me?" ; .

Prior to Bryan's first nomination for the Presidency - Mr. Irish had engaged-! in several joint debates with the Nebraskan, and dur ing both national campaigns he was commissioned by the Republican man- agers to follow ' in uryan s wake. Wherever Bryan spoke; :; there on the following night Irish would address the people. "r:--:.v;-- Irish is a man of nimble wit. : On one occasion, while addressing a con vention,' some delegates opposed to the course which he was urging began to hiss. . Instantly his followers shouted re buke. The voice of Irish, which in carrying power has been likened to Webster's, rose above the clamor. - -"Gentlemen," said he, addressing his supporters and waving his hand toward the hissing delegation, "let them hiss. I have always been an advocate of abso lute liberty of expression. ; Neither in this convention nor out of it would I apply closure to the means employed to vocalize the thoughts of men or the predilections of animals. .The snake hisses out of instinctive venom, the goose hisses out of the stupidity of its nature, and all creatures, including man should have equal rights to ex: press themselve3 according to their congenial endowment." Then turning to his disturbers, Mr. Irish added: "You may, gentlemen, if that is the ordained method for the, ex- pression of your emotions, continue to hiss." ff eitber Sampson J or Sehley Entitled to any Unusual Reward. The salient features of President Roosevelt's decision in the Schley case are as follows: , All the accusations against Schley, based on his conduct prior to the battle off Santiago, are thrown out. The president holds that if Admiral Schley erred during that period his offenses were condoned by his retention as second in command. On the question of command the president says: -' "Technically Sampson commanded the fleet and Schley, as usual, the west ern division. The actual fact is, that after the battle was joined 'not a helm was shifted, not a gun -was fired, not a pound of steam was put on in the engine room aboard any ship actively engaged in obedience to the order of either Sampson or Schley, save on their own two vessels. It was a cap tain's fight." Sampson was hardly more than tech nically in the fight. His only-claim for credit rests upon his work as com mander in chief, in planning to. meet the Spanish ships when they should come out. Schley is entitled, as is Captain Cook, to the credit for what the Brooklyn did in the fight. On the whole, the presi dent finds that the Brooklyn did well, though he considers the vessel's loop" j u -Lie? j 1 VV C uiiDba&c uiauc jj kujr Uicllvau BlAip uuiuig uuc uai.iiic The president considers that the most striking act of the battle was that of the Gloucester, whose commander, wain, vinoed oi ms intention to qmt the navy, iory..ieuing. vne oi tne yarns con wright, pushed into the fight through are now urging him for the presidency, erned Senator Bailey, of Texas, and a hail of projectiles in order that he might do his part in destroying the two torpedo boats. For this conduct Wain wright was entitled to receive more than any otner commanaer wna ine possi ble exception of Clark, of the Oregon. It was just to Admiral Sampson that he should receive a greater advance in numbers than Admiral Schley. . There was nothing done in the battle that J warranted any unusual reward for I . either; There is ;no excuse whatever from either side for any further agitation of this unhappy controversy. To keep it alive would merely do damage to the navy and to the country. North Carolina Postal Cleric Stricken with smallpox on His Honeymoon. ? WashinKlcn Pogt, 19th. Arthur B."

I IS ALASKA TOOPICAL.T Baltimore Sun. The Sun some months ago reprinted some sarcastic remarks made m Con-1 gress about hxteen.: years since about i : the climate of Alaska : and its alleged tropical character. -. . The moral was that i fifteen years aga we ; knew i very little i i about Alaska. But, according to Gov-1 ernor Urady, we will have much to i learn about our ice-patch. s An officer of the United States army is quoted as saying: "The climate of Alaska is bet- ter than on the great plains of Wyo- ming, Montana and some parts of Ne- vada. . - In all parts of Alaska there are more hospitable winters. - They have no severe storms in ; the ' interior, and I think thev will " experience a great change in climate, but this is a mistake, for all last winter I very, seldom wore, an'overcoat."--. y - The Governor of Alaska adds - his i own valuable testimony to the, semi- tropical character of the country. "Alaska," he says !'is susceptible of very . great agricultural possibilities. I The great river valleys embrace culti - J vable areas large enough for good-sized States. - There is a. tract southwest of Yakalat, lying between the sea and the mountains, which is 60 miles long and from 15 miles to 30 miles wide, which to-day is covered " with redtop which stands as high as a man's shoulder." Apart from its gold and coppermines Alaska may then, after all turn out to be a good investment.- .The stories of the mildness of the climate are a little surprising. They may be exaggerated. Still it will have to be borne in mind that the territory . embraces,! all " told, 369,520,600 acres, a large part of which is still unexplored as to mineral wealth, agricultural resources, fisheries and timber. Much of it, no doubt, is per petually frozen, lying beyond the arctic circle and facing the midnight sun. But it is a vast area and much of it is warmed by the winds of the Pacific ocean'. There is already a white popu lation of some 60,000. A railroad 400 miles long is said to be under contem plation to a -point on . Bering strait. The British have already built a rail road toward the Klondike, with the re- suit of greatly cheapening the trans portation of machinery and- supplies. The gold-mining craze has revealed the value of all that part of the world. .Folger Get TwelTe Tears, Salisbury j jjeb. au. This morning Judge Shaw passed a sentence - of 12 years in the penitentiary upon i Alfred D. Folger, the slayer of Robert Moore, who was found guilty of manslaughter I yesterday. It is the general opinion that J? olger is coming - off remarkably I light, thanks principally to the pains taking ingenuity and ability with which the defence was conducted, by his coun sel in the lace of the most i damning evidence. The judge intimated as much m imposing the sentence, without, however, criticising: the jury in any ; way. it is nevertheless true that the ! verdict can be partly explained by the low average intelligence of the jury.

One on Jfoe Bailey, r A group Of senators gathered in Sen ator Masonfs committee room and in- bulged in a pastime which is a delight was to the enect tnat while the 'lex an was a member of the house he attended a mass meeting in his district. During the meeting he constantly referred to Jacob T. Patrick, a prominent republi can from Kentucky as "judge." " This incensed Mr.'Patrick, who finally arose, and said: . "I am not a judge. I never was. m . .-. anc niore than that, 1 have no title. I am plain Jake Patrick, the only strictly private citizen in the entire common- wealth of Kentucky. I am not even a 'mister.'" . "Well, sir," replied Mr. Bailey, "you are unique. . I should think that you would be at least a 'colonel.'
