The school habit is growing In New
Bern. ' With n0 appreciable Increase '
In the census ot children, that can be j

FIXANCIAC STRENGTH THE REAL
WAR TEST.
The American Jingoes of the Hobson
das. wh0 figure out the certainty ot
war between the United States and
Japan as. an immediate possibility,
reason, upon groundB insompatible
with actual conditions:
Never in the world's history has
v
financial strength been so all impor
tant In waging war, as It is today.
Japan won over Russia as much by the
diplomatic move of seeking outside
interference, at a time when her finan
clai "resources were at a low ebb, as
by strategy In the Held and on the
sea. ... . . , ,
At this time the announcement of an
understanding between the United
States and Japan has peculiar signi
ficance when viewed from a flnan-
clal standpoint. Without the good will
of the United States the Japanese em
pire would be almost barred from the
money markets of the world, and In
. i ..... ..... j i
view of its ambitious plans and its
uslness expansion It must borrow mo
ney. Where was It to go?. It could
borrow - nothing In Russia nor from
the ally of the latter, France. Eng
land,, while the ally of Japan, prefers
the friendship of the United States,
and, besides, on the Pacific coast i
member of the British empire had ex
perienced race riots between the Jap
anese such as had occurred at San
Francisco. England, therefore, would
not be a favorable market for Japa
nese bonds If In aiding the oriental
nation It would appear that it was aid
ing an enemy ot the United States.
That the Japanese government should
foresee this easily can be understood.
The island empire which scarcely fifty
years ago Commodore Perry openea
to civilization has made such astound
ing progress In dealing with other na
tions that it has readily seen the nec
essity of friendly money markets. .
It may be recalled that when Com
modore Perry visited Japan the na
tives undertook to surround his war
ship in war canoes. They also scat
tered at the sound of a steam whistle
and when flnallt Induced to come a-
board, the flagship sought t0 find the
person behind the mirror. . C
A nation which In a little more than
fifty years could practically emerge
from barbarism and wage a success
ful war against Russia Is too far sight
ed not to make peace while it gather
strength and specially so at this time
when It Is seeking to build up its In
dustries and get Into the world's mar
kets for bsrter and gain.

BEAM. DRAMATIC STORY
Local Talebt Will Present Damon and
PjthJas at the Opera House Fri
day Night.
No Pythian In or within reach of
New Bern should fall to witness the1
presentation of ."Damon and pythias"
at the Opera House next Friday night.
He should be accompanied by his wife,
mother, daughter, sister or sweetheart
he should Induce his friends also to
be present, for the play Is one of the
greatest in the English language. The
lines are beautiful and poetic, the situ
ation strong and dramatic; the cli
maxes thrilling and the story is so
beautifully and simply told, that a
child might, understand and appreciate
it, and beside it is the foundation stone
of the Order of Knights of Pythias
and exemplifies In a vivid manner' the
principles of Friendship, Charity and
Benevolence. : -
The play will be given with a strong
cast of professional and amateur tal
ent under the direction of Mr. Edward
D'Oize, an actor of large experience
and scholarly attainments, a role he
has placed nearly 200 times.; Mrs.
D'Oize who is an actress; of ! great
charm and ability will appear as Co-
lanthe, the) bethrothed bride Of Py
thias.; 'rxr '"-' " '--'v '.
The Times-Union of Jacksonville,
Fla., ssys:v ' "'"' -'t. - ,
Mr., D'Oize has played the role ot
Damon so of ten. that he seems, 'when
on the stage to actually live It, and to
actually feel the emotion he is pic
turing to big audience. ' He is possess
ed of a full resonant voice,, a command
ing figure and stage presence, . and
his control of voice,, features and ges
tures was such as to win him gener
ous' and well merited applause. , ,
, Mrs. D'Oize as Colanthe, the sweet
heart of Pythias In a role she. has
rendered lq other cities and the grace
and - power has : drswn for hei
work was richly In evidence. Mrs.
D'Oize was' most picturesque In her
Grecian gown, and presented a very
beaotlfulplcture to her audience!

lies the heart of Shelley, brought here
by Lord Byron in 1322, eleven days af
ter the fearful accidentia! drowning
of Shelley and his friend "Williams on
their wsy back , to Bpezsta the residence -.of
the Shelley i. ;On the plain marble
' slab are the .Vords, "Cor Corl-ium", a
heart of hearts. Touched as one ma .
be by the contemplation ot the "matt '

yet there comes to. one as he stands ,
by the grave of Keats emotions unlike :
those around by the last resting place
ot any other of the poets,. To give to
the world such poems as Eve of St,
Agnes, Endymion, Ode on a Grecian
' Urn, Wabelle Ode to a nightingale ana
even one sonnet. On " first looking
Into Chapman's Homer In a longJiteN
would be an achievement worthy oi
immortality, but to do this with all
t
that such genius Implied for the fu
ture years and thento dle at the ag
of 26 of Tonsumptlon and : a broken
heart is one of earth tragedies beyond
human understanding. Such was the
, fate of this gifted young Englishman
But bow mistaken be was when ns
requested that the words "Here lies
one whose name was writ in water",
be placed on his tomb' tor probably
there is no spot more frequently vis
ited by the lovers of true poetic art.
I anywhere and nowhere does; them
flow a more genuine tear of sadness
than at' the grave ot this 111 fated
young gentus whose " work " though
small In quantity,' deserves as was
said of another "to be bound in gold."
On our way back we stopped and
had our first view of the famous Pan
theon; the only building in ancient
Rome not now in ruins, ust what
thl building, wa originally lntendea
I
for I not known, it was built by Agrlp-1
pa, a son-in-law of Augustus B. C. 27,
and In 608 A. D. it was consecrated as
a Christian church, to which tact pro
bably Us preservation Is due. But the
handot the despoller has not spared
even this temple, for at different
times It has been plundered' of Its
gilt bronze roof, an- Immense amount
of bronze was taken away to decorate
St Peters and finally the marble lin
ing of Its attic was torn away as was
the exterior covering of marble, not
withstanding all this it Is still one of
the most Imposing buildings In Rome.
Its marvelous dome looks down upon
the tombs o Tfictor Immanuel, the ar.
tist Raphael and others, "never was
simplicity allied to grandeur In so
fortunate harmony." 0 ' - '
Incredible as it may seem In addl-
tlon .to our' visit to St, Peters, the
Protestant cemetery, and the Pantheon
we alsn in this our first day in .Rome
visited the sculptures in he Vatican
which are said to surpass both in num
bers and in excellence any other col
lection In the world. The guards at
the entrance to the Vatican .which
is situated nearby St. Peters are num
erous and imposing. Their costumes
resembling nothing so much as, loose
ends of all sorts ot colors of what
looked like the remnants of a ribbon
bargain counter' were a source pf In
terest and wonderment to us when w
first saw them and for the writer the
never , grew uninteresting though" we
saw them many times. We went Imme
diately, stopping only now and then
to admire-some beautiful statue, bust
or Inscription, to the cabinet of the
boxers, so-called from the famous atn.
letes who stand facing each other tn
the attltuda of a boxing contest. . In
thU same room Is Canova's beautiful
Perseus. : After lingering In this room
for some little time we went to the
next room which Is called the cabinet
of Mercurr which contains among oth
er statuary Mercury, one of the most
perfect pieces of Oreek sculpture. We
did not spend much time In the cabi
net of the Laocoon for while you real
ize' the power ot this most noted work
of art It is so unpleasant a subject
depleting as H does "Laocoon's torture
dignifying pain". A, father', love ana
mortal agony with an Immortal pater
nal blending" that you are glad to find
yourself In the cabinet of Apollo
where yon find tf Apolls Belvedere
regarded by many as the finest piece
of sculpture known. , Passing through
the ball oj. animals, unequalled by
any collection In the world we examin
ed among others the famous Faun af
ter Praxiteles, the statue of Augustus,
which Is said to be the "finest Imperial
portrait statue which has come down
to us", and Ganymede, the most beau
tiful ot mortals who was carried away
to be the cup-bearer of Jupiter.
These are some of the things which
most Impressed me tn our first day's
