Near Junction City, Ohio, a girl aged 22 died a few days ago of genuine lep- . 1 11 . - rosy. X wo sisiers nave rjeen amicieu with the dreadful disease for J7 years. They haye Iiyed on an isolated farm which is shunned by eyery one. Women are taking charge of things in Kansas. In the city election of Seattle in that State, Mrs. Cbarlea Tot ten was elected Mayor, Mrs. Schlight, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Kirlin, and Mrs. Wa kings city council, and Miss McNeil city clerk. However, there is hope tor the city yet as the police, judge, and mar shals are men. "Lost motion" in machinery is a source of great annoyance to the opera tor and also a source of great loss to the owner. Just so is it with the pub lic roads of North Carolina. The wast ed energy on bad roads in the worry and wear upon teams and vehicles would justify a considerable per cent, of taxation for good roads. Wireless telegraph will soon be test ed across the Strait of Dover. Such has been given out from Paris. Won der treads upon the heel of wonder, and we need not be surprised at any de" velopments we may see. The wireless telegraph will probably be no more of a wonder a dozen years from now than the telephone was a few years ago. Perhaps a democratic newspaper is not expected to say it, but candor com pels The uommonwealth to observe that the last Legislature made many ludicrous mistakes which seem inex cusable. Almost every day some mis take made in copying the laws is pub lished. As the laws are being publish ed these mistakes are corning to light, some of them ; and perhaps others that we do not hear of. To say the least of it, there seems to have been gross neg ligence somewhere in allowingso many mistakes to creep in. The Commonwealth has not. kept any very close watch on the progress of Samoan troubles, and we were begin ning to ieel a little behind the times from the big head lines we saw in the papers, but the following observation by the Charlotte Observer has set our conscience at ease about not keeping up with the trouble : "This Samoan rucus is a gay affair. The whole kingdom of Samoa is em braced within an area of 1,700 square miles, and the entire population, in cluding the suburbs, is 35,000, just a ittle bit in excess ot the number of people we have here m Charlotte. But the interesting point is that the total American population in Samoa is 26. Why not pay their railroad fare home and let Samoa go? Unless some such course is adopted these 26 wards of America may yet cost us millions in diplomacy." The most wonderful discovery for locomotion yet made is the power of liquid air. Mr. Charles E. Triple, of New Y'ork, has brought to light a pow er of liquid air which he says will revo- utionize all manner ot locomotion. He tLinks its power for locomotion will be 70 per cent, cheaperthan steam power. Wonderful experiments have been made, and haying mastered the secret of the production, he proposes to make application of it. A correspond' ent who witnessed an experiment in Washington says : "Liquid air is manufactured by an apparatus which Mr. Triple has invent ed. The first gallon or two is made by the use of coal or any other ordinary fuel, just as ice is made in a factory, but thereafter be is able to reproduce 10 gallons of the fluid by the expend! ture of two. A railway locomotive or a steamship will therefore create its own power from the atmosphere as it passes along its way, and a factory en gineer will simply turn the key of a ventilation pipe, start his machine and manufacture fuel as he needs it. Proof of the pudding lies in the eating of it. Proof of ROBERTS' TASTELESS CHILL TONIC lies in the taking of it. COST NOTHING if it fails to cure. 25 cents per bottle if it cures.

Written for The Commonweatlth. The gain of simplicity. In a few days will have been eaten that dollar dinner in New York of which there has been so much mention in the pa pers. Many another dinner that has cost as little and even very much less has been eateu before this. Then why so much comment and eve excite ment about this one? V In the first place, because that which at tbe outset was to be a purely partisan celebration in honor of Thos. Jefferson has become so broadened in its acope that it can no longer be called either Democratic or Repub lican, but both ; tor to it will be gath ered men of all the political stripes and manifold labels that our yery active and splendid nation can boast. It is highly proper that we should all, when considering our great dead, drop as far as possible our partisan bias and praise a man for what he attempted and what he did, even though we are unable to agree with him in all that he either did or attempted. The high plane in such a matter is for us to look rather to a man's motive and his courage than to find ourselyes agreeing with him in everything. We all stand in need of that sort of charity sooner or later, if we are at all public in our characters. Yet after all the chief noteworth- iness of the occasion is not to be found in the unanimous praise of Jef ferson, on the part of men of widely divergent yiews. The almost historic character of tbe dinner is that it is intended as a protest against the vulgar display of wealth and of the un-American exclusiveness that ac companies it. This is what has united such diversified elements m such a diversified community as New York. The original Jeffersonian dinner was one that was to cost the public ten dollars per plate. Such a price is not an extraordinary one in "New York, for that city is accustomed to a great deal of display in such matters. But when a great, simple man whose very utterances in favor of the rights of the oppressed are worked into the warp and woof of our national life was to be honored by such a Symbante east, and in such a manner that the great common people would have no chance to attend, then there first arose a protest, then came the suggestion of another simpler dinner ; then tbe rush of men of all parties to take part. Different voices on different sides of the political arena will be heard and differences of opinions will doubtless exist, but one chief point will haye been made in the sight and hearing of tbe nation that we must move back to simpler ideals of life and of success if we would wish by future historians to be judged worthy of ranking with tbe unselfish ones who have served us and gone to rest. V Be he Democrat or Republican I care not which or neither the right thinking man, who can see further than tbe tip of his nose and down deeper than the surface of things, must be alarmed at the tendency which ex ists to measure political snccess by the length oi tbe pocketbook that has re sulted from "the service of the coun try." So far has this tendency spread that it is considered a matter worthy of comment should a public man eave his public career a poor man. Honest men are by no means so rare as we in our wrath are sometimes tempted to declare, but nevertheless a strong tendency exists to think that a man has neglected his opportunities if he continues to regard public office as a public duty instead of a private snap." Both parties have a touch of the same brush, therefore, it is more than fitting that the protest should come from both. The thing that spoils the life and effort of so many of us is that we start out with wrong standards, and then subsequently have to unlearn them before we can begin to make of life all that it ought to be. We must, therefore, welcome this great object lesson, so soon to' be given to the plastic minds of our young men. It will show them that there are things o Btorithe Kgaatoi f II Kind You Han Always A more to be considered than the mere piling up of money and more precious than high living. A man cannot be elfish and at the same time a good citizen. He cannot be a defrauding politician and at the same time a good man. In other words, notwithstanding certain puzzling facts about our com plicated natures, it may be set down as a very safe rule for our young people to follow that a man who Jead3 ought not to be both light and darkness ; if he is then the discovery of his duality ought to send him back to private life. V If we lose faith in our national life it is sad indeed for us (perhaps some of us are tempted to occasionally because of the noise and apparent prosperity of those who do wrong to our national traditions.) But surely this outburst of healthy protest that h as-taken such a peculiar form In New York as to ex press itself in a public dinner, must re assure ua that though thousands may and do bow the knee to the modern Baal of filthy, ill-gotten wealth there are yet thousands remaining of true heart and straight limb to shout defiance at all tendencies that would undo tbe good work done by the fathers at a time when to be a patriot meant leanness, not lucre ; danger, not delight ; good ness, not gluttony. " There is much that ought to be said regarding the gain to us all should we be more simple in our daily lives of comparative obscurity ; but that is a different matter. It may well be deferred to a more conyenient season. I may say in passing, how ever, that I believe a great deal oi the misery to our own hearts and ot op pression and of misery in the lives of others is a result of the complicated and speedy civilization that we all try to keep up with. We would all be better off for a return to simpler ways. If this is socialism, then socialism is humanity. If this is socialism, then socialism is sense. Of this, more anon. Story in Regard to Stonewall Jackson's Overcoat. New Orleans Times-Demecrat. "Thirty years ago," said Rev. David MacRae, the Scottish author and di vine, "I paid a yisit to Mrs. Stone wall Jackson at her home, and was presented by fcer with the overcoat her husband wore when he received his death wound. It was a heavy rubber-faced garment, and the fatal bullet-hole and stains of blood were plainly visible. I took the precious relic of the great Confederate hero back to my home, in Dundee, Scotland, but en route to New York I met General Howard, of the Federal army, and told him the story. He was immensely in terested, spoke warmly of General Jackson's military genius and superb courage, and finally wound up by say ing : 'Well, Mr. MacRae, since you have this overcoat, i think 1 will have to give you the one that I wore in the same battle. I am not ranking myself with Jackson, but I want you to have a souvenir from both sides.' So he gave me his uniform coat embellished with the Federal brass buttons and shoulder straps. I thanked him heart ily, and after I reached home I bad them both placed in tbe fine public museum at Dundee. There they have hung through all these years, the blue and the gray, side by side, one bullet torn and bloody, the other bright and whole. Thousands have pondered over them, and they have brought tears to many an' eye. Quite recently when I was at Richmond, Va., I visited the museum and saw the magnificent col lection of Jackson relics which have been assembled there, and naturally I mentioned tbe incident of the coat. Alter that the ladies gave me no peace, but begged and implored me to send them tbe garment as soon as I got home." I stood firm, however. 'You have a splendid collection,' I said, 'surely you will let Scotland keep her one souvenir.' I propose on my return to have tbe two coats transferred to tbe museum at Edinburg." If you have a cough, throat irrita tion, weak lungs, pain in the chest, difficult breathing, croup or hoarse ness, let us suggest One Minute Cough C ure. Always reliable and safe. E. T.

Whitehead & Co A HANDSOME GIFT. Boots for the University of Virginia. A NOBLE EXAMPLE. The following from the University of Virginia to the Richmond Dispatch, April 6, tells of a most liberal gift to that institution by Mr. John L. Wil liams, ot Richmond : There was placed in the handsome new library of the University of Vir ginia this afternoon an exquisite book case, which is in entire keeping with the attractive surroundings. It is of natural cherry, stained, is handsomely carved, and its shelves are filled with carefully selected books, covering a wide range of literature of the perma nent order. The titles of three vol umes look out from the four sides ot the compact case through French-plate glass. On each of these glass doors is graven an inscription. On one you read : "The truth shall make you free" ; on another : "I am the way, tho truth, and the life" ; on the third : "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, to day, and forever." Above this is a crown, on whose rays are nine pearls, which, it is suggested, represent the nine Muses. Aboye the crown on the trame of the case are the words: "Mother dear." The shelves are four on each side. On the top shelves are King James' version of the Holy Scripture and Cruden's Concordance, Bible for mod ern readers, Lock's Commonplace Book to the Bible, Prayer Book and Hymnal, atid Confession of Faith. The other shelves are stocked with Charles Dud ley Warner's World's Best Literature, the recently published volume of the President's messages and public docu ments, Shakespeare in six volumes, concordance to Shakespeare, Don Quixote in four- volumes, Montaigne's Essays in four volumes, Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy In three vol umes, Whateley's Commentaries on Bacon's Essays, Bacon's Novum Organ um and Advancement of Learning, Burns' Poems, Milton's L'AUegro II Penserosp and Comus, Nansen's Farth est North (two volumes), Robinson Crusoe (two volumes), Arabian Nights (three volumes), Aesop'a Fables, Mar cus Aurelius' Meditations, Aristotle's Ethics, Senaca's Morals' Epictetus, Pilgrim's Progress, and Holy War, Edersheim's Life of Christ, Liddon's Divinity of Christ, Lecordare's Con ference, Thomas a' Kempi's Imitation of Christ. JThe case and volumes are the gift of Mr. John L. Williams, ot Richmond, an honored alumnus of this institution, where his his sons were erlucated. Some time ago Mr. Williams gave the Uni versity Warner's Library of the World's Best Literature, and when on a visit here learned of the purpose of the Uni versity to put them in a special case. He said nothing, but this handsome gift is tbe outcome. Mr. Williams gave notice of the gilt in the following letter : Richmond, JJaster Eve, Apr. 1, 1S99. Dr. Paul Barringer, Chairman of the Faculty, University of Virginia : My Dear Sir : I ship you by Ches apeake and Ohio railway to-day a lit tle book-case, which I have had spec ially prepared for the University. You will also receive by express sev eral packages of booKs for its shelves. The offering comes, with its contents which I have tried to make the best a9 a testimonial of the honor and af fection cherished by my family andv myself for the benign mother and for everybody and everything connected with her. I trust that you will con sider it worthy of a place in your library. If it is intended to mean anything besides respect and good-will, it is that the high offices and priesthood of our own and all institutions of learning is the revelation and accomplishment of Divine manhood in the person of tbe Messiah, who is the sun and source of our civilization, and in whom are hid the treasurers of all knowledge. Sincerely yours, JOHN L. WILLIAMS. Kot one child dies where ten former ly died from croup. People have learn ed the value of One Minute Cough Cure and use it for severe lung and throat troubles. It immediately stops coughing. It never falls. E. T. Whitehead & Co. COLOR AND FLAVOR. It may be easy to imitate the color of butter mado from grass, bat it is not easy to imitate its flayor. J. Sheer, Sedalia, Mo , conductor on electric street car line, writes that his little daughter was very low with croup, and her life saved after all physicians had failed, only by using One Minute Cough Cure. E. T. Whitehead & Co. ra THE CHILDREN. A posthumous poem by Charles Dickens, said to nave oeen iouna in His desk after his cleuth. When the lessons and tasks ere all ended, And the school for the day is dis missed, And the httle ones gather around nw To bid me "good night" and be kiss ed ; Oh, the little white arms that encirile My neck in a tender em bra c a ! Oh, the smiles that are halo of heaven, sheading sunshine and love on my face ! And when they are gone I sit dream ing Of my childhood, too lovely to la?! ; Of the love that my heart wiil re us em ber When it wakes to the pulse of the past ; Ere the world and its wickedness madt me A partner of sorrow and sin ; When the glory of God was about me, And the glory of goodness within. Oft, my heart grows weak as a woman's And the fountains of feeimg will How, When I think of the paths steep and stony Where tho feet of the dear ones must go ; Of the mountains of sin hanging o'er thom, Of the tempests of fate blowing wild. Oh, there's nothing on earth half so holy As the innoeent heart oi a child. They are idols ol hearts and oi house holds, They are angels of God in disguse ; His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses, Hii glory still beams in their eyes ; Oh, those truants from earth and from heaven, They have made me more manly and mild, And I know how Jesus could liken The kingdom of God to a child. Seek out a life for the dear ones All radiant, as others have done ; But that life may have just as much shadow To temper the glare of the sun. I would pray God to guard them from evil ; But my prayer would bound back to myself. AIi, a Feraph may pray for a sinner, But the sinner must pray for him self. The twig is so easily bended I have banished the rule of the rod : I have taught them the goodness ol knowledge, They have taught me the goodness of God. My heart is a dungeon of darkness, Where I shut 'them from breaking a rule ; My frown 13 sufficient correction ; My love is the law of the school. I shall leave the old house in the autumn . To traverse the threshold no more. Ah ! how I shall sigh for tho dear one.1 That meet me each morn at the door. I shall miss the good-nights and the kisses And the gush of their innocent glee, The group on the green and the flowers That are brought every morning to me. I ihall miss them at morn and at even ing, Their song in the school and the street ; 1 shall miss the low hum of then voices And tho tramp of their delicate feet. When the lessons and tasks are ended, And death says the school is dis missed. May the little ones gather around me To bi t me good night and be Jdfsed. "Ths Poetry of Motion," Youth's Companion. Mr. Kipling has told about locomo tivss that have expressed themsaives in rhyme, but nevfr ol an engineer who unconsciously made yerses. Yet such an one, according to a New York ex change, was William Blue, employe of a trunk line. One of Blua'a duties was to fcaul the throufih Leigh t over tho western divi sion, and his pet engine was No. 2. One night be had an accident. One of the flues in the boiler bl&w out, and he was stalled, blocking the main line. He reported tha matter to tbe di vision superintendent, unwittingly, as follow : "Engine two blew out a flue. "What'll I do? "Bill Blue." Then he sat down to await instruct ions. This is what came over the wire from the superintendent's office about twenty miuutes later. "Bill Blue : Yuu plug that flue in engine two, and pull her through in time to get out of the way of twenty two." This order is stuck up in the cab of eugine two.
