Two hundred or more persons were killed in a mine explosion at Schofield, Utah, a few days ago. The disaster was caused from a powder explosion, and the detai's were heart-rending in deed. Long has the opinion' prevailed among certain people, and long has it been said that ministers' . sons are oftener worthless than are the sons of au equal number of other good men. They are set down among the "ne'er-do-wells." But some one has come to the rescie and says that a larger num ber, in proportion, of eminent scientists and theologians come from ministers' sons than from any other class. Also another says many of our best heross are the sous of ministers. American enterprise something is wonderful. It has been stated recent ly by good authority that American capitalists, inventors and constructors cannot find territory at home sufficient for their enterprise. Americans are the greatest of all railroad builders, says the Atlanta Journal. They have built at home more railroad lines, measuring more mileage than all the rest of the worid combined, and are now building railroads in other countries or furnishing material and equipment for them. England, Bussia, China and Japan are purchasers of American rails and locomotives, and so great is the demand that it is hard to meet it. There are many examples of bow, by waiting patiently for the opportunity, one may in the end reach the goal of his ambition. John J. Ingalls, writing for the Saturday Evening Post, tells how Senator Everetts waited twenty four years after his Grst candidacy be fore he was elected Senator. He was a candidate in 1861, but failed of election. In 1885 tie came to the Senate at the age of sixty-seven. During the interval he was busy and filled the years with telling labor. He achieved distinction as a lawyer and orator. He was Attorney General of the United States under President Andrew Johnson and his counsel on his impeachment. He held other positions of trust and promi nence, was Secretary of State from 1877 to 1881 ; and no doubt he kept his eye on the place he hoped some day to occupy in the United States Senate. He "stuck his pegs'" and worked to them. The example is well worth the careful study of all who would learn to succeed by la boring and waiting. - With some newspapers it sometimes oecomes a sort of sterotyped saying that towns and communities progress and business thrives onlj as they are made way for by the live and wide-awake newspaper. There Is a way of saying this that nullifies its force and effect, especially if it is said by a paper which seems to be "talking shop" for the home effect. But when a newspaper says such things about its contemporaries much removed from it by distance, the shop talk idea does not occur to any reader. We have not seen a clearer instance of this than in a recent staff correspondence to the Raleigh News and Observer by Editor Jofephus Daniels, descriptive of Char lotte's growth and progress. After telling of the giant strides the cily of Charlotte has taken in all directions during the past twelve years. Mr. Dan iels says that the city is as beautiful and prosperous as Its two great news papers have been sayirg day in and day out for the past dozen years. Then he tells a volume of truth in one sin gle sentence which should be remem bered by the people of every town and community In the land which has a decent newspaper and it should en courage people to the liberal support of such papers. The sentence breathes a trumpet truth in every wad. It is this : "Charlotte's growth has been chiefly promoted by its newspapers.' -ri. nav COlff CUTOr For cold in the ad and aore tt mott'a Chocolates ALLABODTjOiANTS. The Currant as a Crop. IT IS A NEGLECTED FRUIT. Philadelphia Record. The currant is one of the finest fruit that can be grown, considering the va rious uses to which it may be applied, and yet it is the most neglected of all. Currants are grown only on limited areas, while the strawberry may be seen on plantations, some fields containing over a hundred acres. In favor of the currant bush it may be claimed that it thrives almost everywhere, even where the temperature reaches 30 degrees be low zero, and it requires no "layering" to protect the vines, and when once established it remains for years. It demands no greater cost for harvesting the fruit than raspberries, and it is sub ject to fewer drawbacks than the rasp berry. It brings four times as much in market as either the raspberry or blackberry, because the supply is lim ited. With more of them in market the demand would increase, as a large number of buyers would become edu cated to their value. There are many who know but little of currants and their uses, but there is an excellent op portunity for those who do not believe that there is "any money in fruit" to give the currant their attention as a crop. Once a plot is in currants there is little to do for it the greater portion of the year, and such a crop should pay much better than some that require more attention from early spring to late fall, 'ihe difficulty with those who grow the fruit is that they obtain crops so easily, and at such little coat, that they give it no consideration Growing along some fence or out-of-the way location, it is considered only a "catch crop" that is usually always sure, but not vjortby of marketing. The soil best suited for currants is a deep, rich, mellow loam, but it will grow almost any where it well manur ed. The fruit is early on sandy soils, but the crop rs not so large as on heavy land. The currant bush is grown from cuttings, which should be planted this month, just as the buds begin to push and placed six inches apart on a shady border. They should be about one foot long, of the preceding year's wood and cut off directly below a joint. Ii the bushes are to be grown in the man ner of small trees, with one main stem, all the eyes should be cut out but the two top ones. They should remain un. tif next year, when they will then be large plants, and may be transplanted to the location desired. They may be planted either early in the spring or in the fall after the leaves begin to drop. The plants should be six or eight feet apart each way, so as to allow for cul tivation. They will become thicker in time. Or they may be placed in rows six to eight feet apart in each row, but when so planted they can be cultivated but one way with a hoe after they are large. The soil must be kept loose and weeds and grass must not be allowed to. grow among the bushes. The red vari eties are preferted, and selection for a novice should be made by some seeds man or horticulturist, as the soil for some v art ties may not be as suitable as for others. If preferred, those who desire to save time may put out currants in April without the necessity of begin ning with cuttings, as nurserymen will supply them by the hundred at moder ate prices. Any variety procured may then be propagated by cuttings after the plants are established and well grown. - There are but few obstacles with cur rants compared with some small fruits. The borer does not damage, but vigor ous bushes escape to a certain extent, while the borer may be bept in check by judicious pruning and burning of the non- producing . old wood, which should be removed. There is also some danger from breakage of ihe bushes when they are heayily overloaded with fruit, which often occurs, as the cur. raut worm feeds upon the leaves, but is easily destroyed with helebcre. The green leaf hopper also does damage and is kept in check with pyrethrum or to bacso dust. The lour-striped plant bug is also an enemy, but succumbs to kero sene emulsion. These enemies may not appear as if tqere are no careless neigh boring growers, and they entail-no more labor than would be required for other fruits that do not bring such prices in market as currents. It may be added that at the present day grow- Summer Heat. -This is the aeawn for summer complaints. Green apples and cucumbers : produce - them and Perry Davis' Pain-Killer cures them.

Avoid substitutes, there jis but one Pain-Killer, PerryDavisgPrlce 25c. ere must do vigorous battle with insects and diseasea in growing anything anC the currant is not completely exempt. One of the main points to observe is to give the bushes severe . pruning. The currant bears lruit upon the wood of previous years' growth and upon the spurs that spring from the older shoots but it is only upon the young and vig orous wood of the preceding year that fruit of superior size is produced. Branches will sl.net up thick, but will be weak if suffered to gro w in bunches instead of on one main stem (like a tree) ; hence the superfluous branches should be cut out, which may be done in the fall or early in the year. The object should be to have young and Vigorous wood, and old wood not prov ing productive to be removed. Currants should not be overlooked as a crop, for they are profitable, but only when giv en excellent attention, which, as a rule, they do net receive. The Evolution of Tezes. National Magazine. The Louisiana purchase of 1804 un doubtedly transferred to the United States all the territory now embraced in the State of Texas, and a large por tion of what is now Arizona and New Mexico. Whatever rights of domain were thus acquired, however, were transferred to Spain in 1819, in return for the Floridas, which was consum mated and ratified by the King of Spain in 1821. Passing into the hands of the Mexicans shortly after, through the reyolutionary establishment of the republic of Mexico, it remained polit ically a territory annexed for the pur poses of government to ; the ancient province of Coabuila. At this time Texas, despite its enor mous -extent of territory and great natural advantages, was of little real value to the Mexican republic. All along the real limit of Mexican rule, the Rio Grand del Norte, the Indian bravos, the fierce Li pans, Kiowas and Comanches, held in check that wave of civilization which should hsve steadily swept northward to the Sabine river, and indeed seemed likely in time to depopulate and lay waste the frontier provinces of the descendants and successors of the Spanish conquista dores. Against this savage inundation of the wild horse of the desert, the Indian serf and white peon could nd would do little or nothing, and the royal viceroys and the earlier presidents of Mexico were unable to make head against their constant incursions. It was no wonder, therefore, that in the second and third decades of the nine teenth century they welcomed the coming of emigrants from the slave holding States of the American re public, who could and would invade the haunts of their enemies, and as they fondly hoped, buttress with the American rifle the new frontiers of the land of Anaabuac. To Save the Birds. Civilization moves on. Governor Roosevest has signed the bill passed by the New York Legislature making it a misdemeanor to sell or possess for sale the plumage of wild birds and song sters. At the outstart this statute will bear with some hardship upon mil liners ; but there is no progress with out some cost. The women who wear the plumage of songbirds fn their hats are not only accessory to the savagery of the killing, but they are guilty of the further sivngery of a form of adornment which la a weak imitation of the get-up of Geronimo or Sitting Bull when on the warpath.

Selected. v The following excerpt from a letter received from a resident of Utah, un der date of February 27, 1900 : "You ask about B. H. Roberts. He is one ot the high officials of the Mor- j mon Church, a three-ply polygamist. "Seeing the country immersed in war problems, the Mormon heirarcby prob ably considered it a good time to crowd him to Congress. He . had been cast aside by the Democrats, and punished by the church once ior entering poli tics without their sanction, but he re canted and was supposed to be devot ing his days to churchly requirements. "Since statehood has been granted, polygamy has been pushed, on the quiet, more than ever ; marriages are secret, so there is no proof of that ; but the crying fruit of such marriages can not be entirely concealed, and the State is being filled with illegitimate children. It is next to impossible to convict a man when public sentiment condones end court officials and jury may be in the same boat. However, the Presbytery at Manti two j-ears ago sounded the alarm with unspeak able distinctness, 'The Church denied in toto.' By means of their own they secured the nomination of B. H. Rob erts for Congress, in spite of the pro tests of many Gentile Democrats, and defied the country. 'Democrats elect ed him.' He had a large majority of votes. "The Mormons hold absolute con trol of their votes, male and female. The Republican whom they set up was said, to be r- 'Danito', or blood avenger, an official of their organizaH tion. There were Democrats end some Republican Gentiles who voted ior Roberts, so as to bring the matter to Washington ior settlement out of the question to do anything effectual here. "Well, the country ..has partially set tled it ; there had not been so effective a blow given to Mormonism, as it dis criminated between Church and State. Polygamy is one ot the fundamental limits in tbeirparody of religion. "Now, what is farther needed is a Federal law on the matter, a constitu tional amendment prohibiting polyg amy. Poiygamists are not only of Utah, but Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and the Territories are now in a condition where polygamist Mor mons have about the balance of power, and it is through these States that they intend to dominate the na tion. "Peaceable living in Utah would be out of tb 3 question had Roberts been seated ; they had grown so insolent that it was easier to detect their schemes. Of all the travesties on re ligion, Mormonism is the most intri cate. Every 'good' Mormon is a be liever in polygamy, whether practic ing it or not. They are perfectly or ganized ; they are as one man in the obedier.ee demanded, from apostle to each 16-year-old boy to 'obey coun sel.'

A Wise and Venerable Doctor Talks about Advanced Science. In a leading hotel, in a great city, a famous and aged physician was conver. ing. Listening to his wise and sententious discourse, were a group of well dressed men, evidently lawyers, business men and commercial travelers. My firm belief, is " that medical science is certain yet to show that all dis eases without exception are caused 'by invisible germs which are living organ isms. Here is the germ of that terrible disease diphtheria. Here is the bacillus of typhoid fever; and here is the still more dreadful bacillus of tubercle which causes that most destructive of all diseases, consumption. This of that very common and supposed incurable disease, catarrh." "I wish, Doctor," said the traveling man, "that you would tell us about catarrh. I have had it for years, and I am thoroughly discouraged.7 The Doctor answered. "Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption, typhoid fever, and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe invading the blood and attacking specially the mucous membrane. This foul and most disgusting disease is especially prevalent in the United States and it is rare to meet one who is not, or has not been troubled more or less with it. How often is he or she obliged to remain at home from pleasant entertainments, deprive themselves of many intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from ca tarrhal affections. In its worst phase, the patient becomes loathsome both to himself and his friends. , " I believe," continued this great physician, " that the true way to heal ca tarrh is to medicate the blood. This can be done only by powerful alteratives which act as blood purifiers." Betsy A Marett, of Manistee, Manistee Co., Mich., writes: Dear Sirs : For ten years I was a sufferer from general debility and chronic catarrh. My face was pale as death. I was weak and short of breath. I could hardly walk, I was so dizzy and nad a ringing in my head all the time. My hands and feet were always cold. My appetite was very poor. On getting up in the morning, my head swam so I was often obliged to lie down again. I had awful pains in the small of my back. 1 had a continual feeling of tiredneas. My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and I couldn't go half a dozen steps without stopping to rest, and often that much exercise caused me to have a pain in my side. It seemed as though the blood had left my veins. The doc tors said my blood had all turned to water. I had given up all hope of ever get ting welL I tried the best physicians in the state, but failed to qct any relief. My husband got me a bottle of Johnston's Sarsaparilla. I took it, and then I bought another. When these had been used, I was somewhat improved in health. I continued its use, and felt I was growing stronger; my sleep was re freshing, and it seemed as if I could feel new blood moving through my veins. I kept on taking it, and now consider myself a well and rugged woman. I work all the time, and am happy. I am positive that the Sarsaparilla saved my life. The sick headaches I have had sines childhood, have disappeared, and my ca tarrh has almost entirely left me. I cannot be too thankful for what Johnston s Sarsaparilla has doue for roe. I recommend all women who have sick head aches to use vour Sarsaparilla. E. T. WHITEHEAD itjCOJjScotlani Neck, N. 0. gilded and roseate .-s may be the claims. They claim to believe that unless a woman has given birth to a child, or can lay claim to the fractional part of a husband to advocate her ex altation, no further bliss for her. Ev ery man is as God to his wives ; he is their God. The president of the church receives commands from the Almighty direct by spoken words. Really, they claim a god of their own, using the name of the 'Gentile God' where it can further their schemes. "That when you have been here a short time you think you can solve the Mormon problem, but after years of residence you are each day farther from its solution,' is a fact apparent to any one who has had any real knowl edge of the Mormons. "We smile or shudder at the pub lished statement?, of some who have been 'wined and dined' by church officials, who 'have received every courtesy' from them. If they stay long enough they find out. Lying or evasion becomes a fine art ; that was Brigham Young's boast - untruth to a Gentile Is not considered in relation to tact. I would hesitate to believe a Mormon on oath where church mat ters are 'involved.' II he is 'instruct ed' he may say anything, the respon sibillty lies with his instructor he has simply 'obeyed counsel.' "This refusal to admit Roberts to Congress is the first effectual 'halt they have heard, and it was made possible by the heroic work and continual ut terances of the Salt Lake Tribune and other Gentile press; bjr the work o' the Industrial Home, and by the learn ing of Gentile sentiment. There should follow a constitutional amendment, disfranchising poiygamists. This can avert inevitable conclusions that must bft tried at no distant day. "This does not imply the Josepbites, a branch of the Mormon Church, who repudiate polygamy, or those younger Mormons imbued with American ideas the 'seven thousand who have net bovyed the knee to Bjal."
