Only four business houses have given Secretary J. Leon Williams of the Clamber of Commerce the information he asked for some time ago relative to the amount of freight business handled in the course of twelve months. This informal ion is to be used in an argu ment which will be put before the offi cials of the Atlantic Coast Line in an effort to get them to give New Bern a Northern-outlet over their system. If the business men here want this new railroad connection, they ought to get bopy and get up the fignres that are needed to enable the Coast Line people to arrive at an intelligent conclusion as to how much merit there is in the de mand from New Bern for the connec tion. This h about as little ai they could do. Bryan Ever Faithful. William J. Bryan's one -thousand dol lar contributor! to the Democratic cam paign fund is the largest yet trade. Bryan was more largely instrumental than any one else in bring'ng to pass the nomination of Wilson. He is con tributing substantially of his means to achieve the election of the New Jersey executive and he will go on the stump with the same end in view. The Dem ociats are going to land a man in the Peaidential chair next March and to Bryan will belong the lion's thare of the glory: The Virginia Machine. One of the political machines which has come in for a good deal of castiga tion of late is the Martin-Swanson out fit of Virginia. Ayearagoit had a tout with a couple of Progressives woo wan ted to succeed Martin and Swanatn in the Senate and the enenves of (he ma chine got badly whipped. Noth'ng succeeds like succ.ss ar d the Virginia machine, following its vicio ry, regained seme of its popularity. At the recent Democra- ic convention in Baltimore it showed the cbvtn hoof again when it sat down on a Virginia born candidate for the Presidency whose record had been one of hostility to machines and the trend of sentimi nt in Virginia is now, we telieve, away from the mach'ne. In the Richmond dist iet Andrew Jaekson Montague, anti machine, i-t potting up a tplerdd fight t gainst Capr, John Lamb, the incumbent, who in lacked by the machine. Governor Montague has whippedthe orgariza turn before and the odds seem to be in his favor this time. If he is elected, be will, it is predicted, turn bis eyes on another and a bigger prize the United States Senatorahlp. The shipping and automobile news in the Journal this morning will be found of special interest to our readers we feel sure. Tbe boat industry of New Bern and its waters is much larger thsn many of its people think, and the ' fact that so many automobiles find parch aiert here kdieateaa drgreejof prosper ity that is bound to be etftouraging to those who want to see the city go for ward along commercial and industrial lines., i . . v.- Running Away From Pain. The scientific men are going right ahead in their warfare on pain. Finally they will wipe it out altogether Here tofore tbe use of anestheti s has had a drawback becauseof the reaction. Now the surgeons and investigators have given tbe knsckout blow to reactionary pain and discomfort. There possibly some reaction following the new .see ondary anesthetic, but presumably UU negligible. On the subject of the ruw discovery the Washington Post, quo ting the London Lancet, says: ,. "In a recent issue of the Lancet, of London, Dr. Forbes Ross explains how to 'put the finishing touch on the ef forts of science' by ridding the patient of reactionary pain. It is, he says, but ao extended form Of Focal anesthesia The area of the wound, before opera tion, is infiltrated with a solution of quinine end urea hydrochloride, the ef fect of which is to produce a total ab sence ef pain after lbs p t ent his re covert d from the. gen lal m esthetic This condition will I. -ft or a period varying from V hiuta to 3 ,days, du ring which time the prtcejs of healing will have been far advanced; The tis sue J not only are not injured by the in filtration, bat the absence of pain actu ally tends to promote rapid pealing. "In bis own practice Or. Rcsshas made convincing experiments, and he now passes along the discovery for the benefit of suffering humanity in gener al There seems to be but little doubt tint the net result will be not only to reduce thu sum of pain, but greatly to lower the mortality incident to severer operations." We wonder what is the significance of all this S ar:h for ways Of avoiding pain. Most of us will approve of it but we know at the same time that it has a significance and wheth er it is a significance that is lo be applauded and rejoiced at we don't know, Is a race of men Bhunning pain as something to be feared alrr.ost worse than death a better and a nobler race than one which like the fathers had no fear of pain ? Is the fear of physical pain and discomfort identical with (he fear of the disagreeableness of orrect living? Ard does the h-ete with which the world is -running away from pain of the body mean that it is with equal haste running away from the ofttimes painful moral decisions which are in evitably the hall-marks of a clean life ? " So runs the world away.'' Is it a'ong the line of least resistance ? Law Enforcement in Wilming ton. They are having a high o'd time in Wilmington over the prosi cuticn of the blind tigers. One of this gentry was bsfore the Superior Court the other day and declared that the policy of the prosecutors wai to go after the little fellows and let the big ones go. Conditio-s are very much different there Torn what th y are in other plt ces if that criticism is nit well justi fied. The well to-dj, hail fellow-vreil-met law breaker is the hardest ef ail to biing lo tim. But lh-Wilmington people who are disposed to put up a fight for the preservation of law and order say th''y will brinjf to justice the rich and powerful sinners as well as the humble ones and in that decision they should I ave the support and sympathy of the who'e law abiding element of the city. When the State voted prohibition it was known that it would be a big job to enforce the law in Wilmington. But it doesn't appear that they ard disposed down there to lay down on the job not a bit of it. Retraction Made By Editor. Wash rgton, D. C.Aug. 1. Senator Simmons lias received the followirg from B. H De Priest, editor of the Shelby Highlander, the paper which publi.-hed the contribution from "Corn Cracker." which resulted in the an nouncement that Senator Simironi would ins itule suits fort-landeragalnst both putlisher and eot.tributor.

HOODSBARN One ' Story Inoloeee Several Others Before He Gets to the End of :. " His Tale. "East Somervllle East Somervllle I " shouted the brakeman, As the words went rambling around In the brain of Mr, Hoodsbarn, he 'came upon a long-lost second eousla. "That reminds me," said hey to his fellow commuter, "I heard a mighty good little story last summer In a Tit lage down In Maine." "Sor Tea. You see, a family had Just moved to the Tillage from back In the country, and before they were fairly settled they sent the boy to school. Boy went to the school, and took a seat, feeling like a cat In a strange garret. Atfer the morning exercises were over the teacher called him up and asked him his name. That's the way they did when I was a boy. First morning of school, you know; new teacher nervous and afraid of schol ars; scholars nervous and afraid of teacher; like the little girl who met the fox in the path; both ran, girl one way, fox the other; see it done myself every day. "Well, the new teacher would rap to order, then each one of us would read a verse from the Testament In turn, the teacher would make a pray er and then begin the taking down of names and ages. "Now while I think of It, did you ever hear about that prayer of old Pres. Hill of Harvard? "Not Well, be was a great student of philosophy It was his regular hob by ana he stood up in chapel one morning and began his prayer this way: 'Paradoxical as it may seem, O Lord, yet, nevertheless It Is true' That caught the boys, and for years arterward tough statements to one an other, were always started by saying 'Paradoxical as It may seem.' "Why, 'twas like old Beth Willard up In Swanzey; he down on his knees In class meeting In the Methodist church one night and says: 'As Thou well knoweet, O Lord, my sparked steer died last week.' "Well, about that new boy In school; whether the teacher called him up be fore prayer or after I cant say; but she asked him his name and he todl her; his street and number and he toJd her. Then she asked him what his father's occupation was. "Boy was stuck for a minute. 'Fa ther's occupation!' Tee.' Well, ma'am, I ain't sure, 'cause we've just moved here, but I think he occupied live rooms.' " Modern Educational Methods. The old saw, "No royal road to learning," has been relegated to the rubbish heap of exploded theories. The teacher of Virgil interests her pupils I wonder why I use the femi nine pronoun? with modeling in clay the scenes at Dido's court. The In structor in mathematics Inculcates the principles of Euclid by means of pyramids and tetrahedrons, which the pupil, often with tedious and tear ful endeavor, has evolved from a piece of cardboard. The English pedagogue, finding no such tangible methods of demonstrating the relation between subject and predicate, resorts to a well-known maxim: Teach the child te speak correctly by putting before him specimens of only the best Eng lish, and he-need never know there Is such a thing as grammar. We, too, would resort to this method If there were not in the simple formula a con dition quite Impossible in democratic America, where, from nursery to par lorand may I dare whisper It? even In our very schoolroom the boy hears specimens of much that Is not even good English. Atlantic Monthly. The Largest Candle. The making of an ordinary domestlo wax or tallow candle Is sufficiently wonderful to the lay mind to excite comment, but a candle has lately been lighted In Rome that is 11 feet S Inches In height, and will burn for six years. In various places of worship candles are used In their symbolic sense, can d!es of vast proportions, but the one In question Is a giant of Its clan. The first 'step in the making of this mam moth candle was to construct the wick, a wick that would burn clearly and cleanly, and need no snuffing. Suspended by a derrick over a vat of boiling wax, the wick was dipped no fewer than tOO times, till the re quired quantity of wax adhered to It and between each dip the wax picked up had to dry off. Needed Admiration. . "I understand that Mr. Grabwell started In life by borrowing f 50. Toa must admire a man with courage like that" ,.. . "No, I don't," replied Mr. Crowcber.

Wooden Roofs Are 8 truck Often er Than Those of Metal,. Slate or 'f Other Materials, Declares a - Fire Warden. U : There is not as much danger from buildings being struck by lightning as most people suppose. Last year of 1886 buUdlngs being struck by light nlng a great number were barns. Of these buildings 168 had wooden roofs, S were metal, S9 were slate and 81( were not described. Of this whole number only 40 were rodded, 855 were not, and 152 were not reported. ...:a In the ten years, 1893 to 1903, Ger man Investigators found that of all buildings b truck, 9 'per cent of those having hard roofs and S3 per cent of those having soft roofs were not set oa fire. :-v';, Older writers say that risks of build ings being struck by lightning Is five times greater In the country , than In the city. Electricity la present. In the earth and In the atmosphere at all times. The amount In the atmos phere varies from time to time, but becomes large during bo-c ailed mag netic storms. These storms are usual ly accompanied by auroral displays and are often coincident with sun spots. It has been found that there Is. an excess of negative electricity In the surface of the earth and an excess of positive electricity in the atmosphere. As like electricity repels and unlike electricity attracts, rt follows . that there Is a constant Interchange or movement of the positive electrictty In the air toward the earth and of the negative electricity in the earth to ward and Into the atmosphere. At times this is so marked that there is a visible discharge from ob jects extending into atmosphere, like masts on vessels; or from the bodies of persons standing on mountain tops, just as there Is sometimes between the finger and a rapidly moving belb This brush-like, discharge is called "St. Elmo's fire." " One man went out on the summit of Pike's Peak with a talsed umbrella during a magnetic storm and when he came In said It was raining lead. Thunderstorms will be generated wherever there is a rapidly rising cur rent of very moist air. Why and how we do not know. We do know, how ever, that moisture is condensed from water vapor upon minute particles of dust and upon electric Ions. We know also that each drop of water, large or ever so minute, has a coating of electricity upon its surface. Whenever the stress of. electricity in the air, due to the electrification of the cloud mass, passes the break ing limit the air gives way. It Is cracked from cloud to earth like a piece of glass as the bolt descends. It is held by most scientists that sometimes at least the lightning flash Is an oscillatory discharge, and that the electricity passes both up and down. The distance of a flash is approxi mately as many miles as one-fifth the number of seconds between the flask and the thunder. - Contractor's Wise Rule. Among a crowd that gazed skyward at the construction of the Woolworth building at Broadway, Barclay street and Park place, the - Iron frame of which now reaches about forty stories, was an Individual with a broad brogue, relates the New York Tribune; There was no mistake about the country whence he eame, and It was evident that he had not been here long. With eyes bulging, hands behind his back and mouth open, he stood watching the human files as they moved about feasting on the work that was being done at such a dizzy height He final ly turned to the man at his side and touched him on the shoulder. "Say,' he remarked, "that sure must be dan gerous work. But tell me, do many of those fellows fall off?" "Very few," came the reply from the bystander. "And how to that?" asked the Irish man.
