Points and Paragraphs of Things
' Present. Past and Future.
The action oi the middle-of-the-road
Populists in putting out a national tick
et at theironvention in Cincinnati
last week for 1900, was somewhat pre
mature. One of the things they wish
ed to emphasize was their indignation
against Marion Bntler. There was a
special plank in the platform denounc
ing nim as chairman of their national
committee for "attempting to drive tne
Populist party into the Democratic
party."
It is not too late forTHECoMMON wealth
to repeat what it has said belore about
the Clark-Kilgo squabble, namely ; that
both of these gentlemen would come
out of the fight badly scarred. And they
have. Although the Board of Trustees
decided in Dr. Kilgo's favor, he has
already ' seen his palmiest days in
North Carolina. So has Judge Clark.
Neither one will stand as well with as
large constituency in the State as in
times past.
In 1790 Ben Franklin, well known
as "Poor Richard," left a fund of $5,-
000 for the town of Boston "to be man
aged by the select men of the town,
and the ministers of the oldest Episco
pal, Congregational and Presbyterian
churches." The Supreme court has de
clared the city of Boston trustee of the
fund, which now amounts to half mil
lion dollars. It is yet an open'quest-
lon as to what the city will do with the
money, ihere has been some talk of
establing trt'.de schools with it.
It is charged by some that certain
commissioned officers have interfered
with the mustering out of certian regi
ments from the army, because said
officers have such fat placesso much
better than ttiey ever had before. This
is very wrong, it tue boys wno enlist
ed for the war desire to return home
now the war is over, they ought to be
allowed to do so. A Wilmington boy
writing to his father charges substanti
ally the same as referred to. It only
shows - how cheerfully some, men
will sacrifice others for the sake of
money.
The lessons learned so dearly in
front of Spanish guns which used
smokeless powder, is to have its good
results. A dispatch from Washington
a few days ago gave out the following
information :
Washington, September 8. Proba-
ably the navy has fought its last
war with black powder. Bids were
opened to-day at the Navy Department
for supplying the new warships with
1,000,000 pounds of smokeless powder,
a quantity sufficient to supply at least
the secondary batteries of all the ships
in the service, and this supply will be
augmented from time to time until
within the course of a year or two an
black powder will have been retired, ex
cept, possibly, some that will be retain
ed for saluting purposes.
From what we have seen of the re
ports from schools that, have already
opened for the fall sessions, it appears
that there is reason to believe that the
high schools and colleges will be well at
tended this fall. And with all this there
are many boys and young men not
entering schools now who ought to be
much more intelligent a year hence
than they are now. Just one hour set
apart every day for careful study or
ystematic reading is worth more than
anybody can calculate, men, wuu
ion winter evenings' come along

ONE OP THE SECBETS OF THE
CHOIB.
Taking Cold Scientifically.
BY LEON MEAD.
Sfttnrday Evening Post. -
The shutters of Jenkins' grocery
store had boen up an hour or more,
and the little, red whiskered propri
etor had been hinting as openly as he
dared to half a dozen of his customers,
who were sitting around the stove,
that be would like to go home. But
his ostentatious preparations the
slamming of covers on open barrels
and the extinguishing of the lights
down to a solitary lamp made no vis
ible impression on them. For the
squat) little stove still radiated a hos
pitable glow, and the air of the room
was comfortingly blue and fragrant
with the smoke of many pipes.
The conversation, which had lan
guished while there had been an occa
sional customer to soothe the nervous
proprietor, suddenly became brisk.
From chickens it naturally drifted to
poultry diseases, and thence to the un
certainty of life. That suggesfed re
ligion to Tom Hicks ; and religion, re
vivals ; and revivals, sinners. So, by
an easy transition, the church choir
came up for discussion.
Then it was that old Uncle Ezra,
who had been silent through it all,
unlimbered ponderously, as properly
befitted a great gun of the village.
"Reckon I never told ye 'bout the
time I was a bass singer?" he threw
out.
A respectful chorus of "Noes," and
"Tell us about it, Uncle "Ez," ans
wered him. Each member ol the
party settled bac k into his chair with
a sigh of relief, and the unhappy Jen
kins sat down on a cracker.box, for
Uncle Ezra, as a man of wealth and
position, was not to be interrupted nor
hurried.
" Just twenty-five years ago, when
I was in my prime, " he began, after a
preparatory cough, "the Methodist
church was built, ana John Tate un
dertook to organize the choir. They
called him the 'percenter,' or some-'
thing of that kind. Tany rate, they
were stuck for a bass singer. Every
one they invited to try for the position
failed. At last they mentioned my
name, and John come to me and ask
ed me to jine 'em. At first I stood
out right and said 4 no, ' not flattering
myself that I could fill the bill 'tall. I
knowed one tune from another, and
1 told him so ; but my voice was weak
and anything but deep ; besides.at that
time I had a little tech of asthma once
in a while.
"None of you young fellers never
knowed John Tate. He was Killed bv
the Injuns after he went West, but
he was the most convincin'man-I 'oout
ever see, and he got me to come to
church that night and try over some of
the tunes. I remember I had a terri
ble could that day ; it was deep sot, and
my voice was below zero, so to speak.
'Well, seein' as I had promised, I
went down to the meetin' house, as we
called it in them days. Matilda Savo
ry, now the widow Plunkett, was there,
and George Delameter, who was to be
the tenor, and Rachel Sliter, now de
ceased, and Susan Black, who I had
galivanted round with considerable,
and had a slmkin' sweetness for. There
was a few others I don't just recollect
this minute. We first attacked that
hymn runnin' '
" 'There is a iountain filled with blood
"I put my whole Foul into it, and all
the wind I could muster. They was all
surprised to find out I had such a good
voice, and I laughed in my sleeve be
cause no one seemed to notice that I
had a eold. We tried several pieces,
and, alter finishin', some one was sure
to say to me. 'Why, Ez, I had no idee
that you had such a splendid bass
voie,' and another would say " to the
one sittin' next, 'We could'nt get along
without Ez ; don't his voice chord in
nice?' :
You can believe I was honored, and
what made me feel the best ; was the
fc-inrlor snnnrflftsed look of pride On
Susan's lace. For the time bein'
really thought I could sing like a a
blackbird. Yes, that was the compari.
son I made to myself. . You see, I was
thinkin' of Susan ; her rear name was
Black, as I mentioned before.

evenin' to practice, so's we'd be able to
make the new church ring with devout
song on the followin' day. On Tues
day, my cold was disappearin', and my
normal up-grade voice was comin'
back.
"I now had a chance to consider that
I had made a mistake in joinin' the
choir, for when time should come for
me to rriake a public exhibition of my
self my voice would be pitched entirely
too h'igh. Still I felt that this oppor
tunity to become 'popular with the
church folks was too good to be lost.
I was a young man, anxious to be a
success in business and get 60me of
the custom which went to Andrew
Yates, who also kept a grocery. And
so Ijmade this resolve : that, if necessary,
I would catch another cold on " Satur
day rather than resign or run the risk
of slngin' m no set voice on the comin'
Sunday.
' "Saturday mornin' arrived, and I
bad'nt even blowed my nose since
Wednesday, just afore I went to bed.
So I throwed off my coat and vest and
soemmblcd down cellar, which was just
the place to get what I wanted. I
hired a little boy to tend to the store
and I sot for nearly an hour on a hogs
head of molasses, sneezin' away, but
determined not to give up until I'd
caught a first-rate cold. When I came
upstairs I called out to the boy j ust to see
how my vocal organs was fixed, and
they put me in mind of a big bass drum
that I heard once in a circus
"That night I was on hand punctual
and received many more compliments,
ani went homewitB Susan, chipper as
a butterfly. For fear I wouldn't be
hoarse the next "morning, I sot in tht
open window of my chamber with my
coat and vest off, gazin' at the stars
thinkin' of Susan while I grew hoarser
every moment.
"On Sunday mornin' my voice wap in
good trim, and it was one of the most
triumphant moments of my life as I
stood up and let it swell out, while all
the people down below looked up and
watched us with admiration and envy.
My throat was rather sore and nry chest
felt tight, but I paid no attention to
them.
The choir agin met on Monday
night, and my, voice held lis own.
During the rest of that week I laid in
a stock of soothin' svrup and camphor
and other medicines," which I used
pretty lavishly, and with good results.
But Saturday come, and I found my
self hesitatin' whether -to go down cel
lar agin or sever my connection with
the choir forever. I had observed that
trade had picked up wonderfully with
in a few days, and the minister himself
had dropped in and asked for credit on
pound of cheese, some clothes pins
and one or two other articles I don t
recollect just this minute. The Super
intendent of the Sabbath-school also
came in for the first time and bought a
ham and a gallon of sperm oil. It this
thing continues, thinks I to myself, I
can afford to catch cold lor a lew weeks
until they can get a natural bass sing
er, and down cellar 1 went, leavin' the
same little boy to tend the store.
"Well, a year went by, and I was still
holdin' forth in the Methodist choir.
My business now as flourishin, and al
though Mr. Yatea was a Christian, the
church people patronized me as much
as they did him ; for durin' this time
they had a tremendous big revival
down at Jericho Centre, and I had ex
perienced religion. By being in the
choir I had many chances to see Susan
home, which would not have happened
otherwise, and I valued this circum
stance ; for my regard for her had grad
ually deepened into sincere and unmit
igated affection. .
"But -then Susan up and married a
young justice of the peace, who never
attended church, and was a bigger sin
ner than l ever dreamed of bein'. This
took Susan out the choir, and left me
desolate. I vowed eternal celibacy,
and I didn't care who set the Methodist
church afire. That was the last ot. mo
as a bass singer. Why, reckon it up,
and see how many times I've exposed
myself to diptbena, ; bronchitis and
death, and not a li vin' soul was in the
secret. I got so scientific about it that
I could tell how many sneezes would
makejaoe hoarB enough to stnke-the

HIS HEAD IN A HOLE.
TWO CASES OP COWAEDICE.
Cowardice Degrading.
Tooths' Companion.
An eye-witness of the Orangemen's
parade in JNew York many years ago,
when there were riotous attacks and
scenes of blood -shed, gives a curious
account of the craven fear of one of
the spectators.
All the regiments of the National
Guard in New York and Brooklyn had
been ordered out to protect and escort
the Orange societies; The sidewalks
on Eighth Avenue were blocked with
men, women and children who bad
assembled to see the parade.
As the regiments reached Twenty-
third Street, the soldiers were fired up
on from housetops, windows and side
walks. The soldiers returned the fire,
and the panic-stricken throng rushed
for the side streets and for every availa
ble place .for retreat. -
The shops along the route had been
closed, the iron shutters rolled down
over the windows, and the doors locked.
Midway in one ot the exposed blocks a
shop door was broken down by the ex
cited crowd, and an entrance forced. It
was a bakery, with a large room (in the
rear where a family lived.
The fugitives who rushed in were
led by a wild-looking man, crazed with
fear. He ran through the shop into
the back room, where a woman was
sowing at a table. If there had been a
door in the rear, he would have rushed
out of it, for he had only one idea, and
that was to get as far away as possible
trom the street where the rioting and
firing were going on.
His eye tell upon a large stovepipe-
bole high above the mantelpiece on
the side wall. He seized a small step-
ladder near the entrance door, planted
it in front of the chimney, and having
mounted it, ran his head into the
stovepipe-hole. - - .
The eye-witness who describes - this
strange scene remarks that never before
had he been so utterly ashamed of being
a man as when he saw this cowardly
creature On the step-ladder with his
head in the hole. Fear had deprived
him of reason and rendered . him in
capable ot looking anybody in the face,
although be had escaped from the
street, and was in no danger from the
refugees who had flocked after him in
to the shop.
There were si miliar exhibitions of
cowardice in Johannesburg, when the
South Atrican mining town was sur
rounded by Dutch soldiers, and a mob
of refugees was attempting to escape
from siege and massacre. Men dis
guised tbemselve8in woraeivs clothing,
and sneaked out of the town afier
nightfall.
One cowardly fellow even went so
lar as to blacken his face with burnt
cork, and to retreat from the town m
the guise of a negress. Gamblers brib
ed the guards to let them pass, and
adventurers, who had been in the habit
of telling brave stories about their ex
ploits in distant lands, were ftke rats
deserting a sinking ship.
Nothing is so degrading to human
character as cowardice. Without cour
age a man is hardly worthy of being
called a man.

Lesson Prom North Carolina.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
- The Constitution presents to its
readers this morning a comprehensive
review of the political and social con
ditions in North Carolina prepared by
one of its staff correspondents, Mr.
Frank Weldon, who spent several days
there studying the s'tuation.
So deplorable is the state of affaiis
there that we devote to the subject an
unusually large amount of space.
North Carolina has had a glorious
past. From Mecklenburg to Worth
Bagley her people have been justly
proud ot their heritage. True, they
have seen evil days like their friends
In sister commonwealths, but more
than twenty years ago, under Jhe
leadership of their beloved Vance, they
rose in their' strength and redeemed
their government from the disgraceful
domination which they bad suffered
through the fortunes of war.
Four years ago that Bame incompe
tent, conscienceless crew again vaulted
into power through coalition with an
honest but deceived element who cer
tainly never dreamed what terrible re
sults would ioilow. For the past two
years the administration of state, coun
ty and municipal affairs has been al
most entirely in the hands of fusion
politicians who have scandalized and
outraged all decent people. Republi
cans. Populists and Democrats who
respect order, honesty, purity and law
have been humiliated and. insulted by
the shameless regime under which they
lived.
Things went from bad to worse WTtti
startling rapidity and at last tbe re
spectable fteople, regardless of party
lines, and in many instances of color
lines, are rallying under one banner
and are fonnd battling for the restora
tion ot. Anglo-Saxon supremacy and
a clean government.
Just as the people of the Old North
State are preparing to throw off this
yoke, designing politicians in Georgia
are scheming' to bring about a similiar
fusiohhere. To all who love their
State and their homes we commend for
study the bitter object lesson presented
to them in North Carolina.
Beware of the schemers who propose
fusion and offer a division of the spoils.
Not jnly must the Populist who lis
tens to tbe whispering of the tempter
go counter to his convictions and prin-ciples,-but
he should pause to reflect
that he is forging chains which will
soon bind him, his family and friends
n galling bonds.
Historic Coffee House.
London letter to the Philadelphia Ledger.
Another landmark of literary Lon
don has just disappeared, Dick's coffee
house having closed its doors. Already
the work of demolition has begun, and
the quaint little room to which brief
less barristers and Bohemian journal
ists used to find their way for dinner
down the narrow passage in the temple
Ieadine out of Hare court stands roof-
ess and gaping open to the sky. Dick's
was one of tbe oldest places of public
resort in London, for it is said to date
rom 1680, when coffee houses filled
the places of tbe more gorgeous clubs
of to-day. Many generations of literary
men and politicians, including, of
course, Dr. Johnson and Oliyer Gold
smith, have in times past dined there
Of late years much of its quaintness
has been lost, and an aspect of second
or third rate modernity has done much
to chase away the literary ghosts who
were supposed to people it. For these,
however, to whom tbe creations of tbe
novelist's brain are a little more real
and lovable than creatures of actual
flesh and blood, Dick's will always be
dear, for here it was that, on a memor
able occasion, as lovers ot Thackeray's
"Pendennis" will not need to be re
minded, John Finncane, Esq., of tbe
Upper Temple ; Mr. Bungay, the pub
lisher ; and Mr. Trotter, Bungay's read
er and literary man of business, 'dined
together when discussing the prospects
of the proposed Pall Mall Gazette,
which was afterward to afford Mr,
Arthur Pendennis the means of acquir
ing tame and moderate fortune. It
was then and there that Bungay, after
the dinner and a second round of bran
dy and water, was so overcome by the
prospect which tbe silver-tongued jonn
Finucane and the projected paper
ODened up -before him that be insisted
upon paying the bill, and actually pave
James, the waiter, eighteen jnce f r
himself. As a matter of fact, the win
dow of this room looked out upon the
entrance to Thackeray's own chambers
in the temple, and the great novelist
himself must have often dined in tbe
dingy room which he mada th meet
Ine place of the -character wii - oii ..
tbe offspring oi his genius. Now tbe
room itself has followed the novelist
into the shadowy land of the men and
things which have been.
