OBSERVATIONS OF The Raleigh correspondent to the Charlotte Observer wrote just after the adjournment of the Legislature that cleaners were at work in the capitol which a session of the Legislature always leaves TO Improve the Capitol. He wrote that by the time another, see- slon of the Legislature is held there will be some nice and 'needed impreve ments in the capitol building. Old carpets will be taken up, hook cases, hangings, lounges, water buckets" and the like will be changed. All of this is needed, for the correspondent observes that there is nothing modern about the place, the halls remaining j ust as they were fifty years ago. Bill Arp, of Cartersville, Ga., (whose real name is Major Chas. H. Smith), celebrated the fifty-fourth anniversary of bis marriage a few days Married 54 Years. pen ; and reckoning from no knowledge than bis fifty-fourth wedding anni versary, one would judge that his life must be turning well towards the sunset, taking on "the sear, the yellow leaf." Innocent fun-makers like Bill Arp and Bill Nye, have done much good in the world ; and there are hosts of people who will feel sorrowful when the news is flashed out that Bill Arp's course Is ended, his work finished and his fun and philosophy will be set to print no more. The Commonwealth has recently made editorial reference to the gener al feeling in the State that it is too easy for one man to kill another and It Would Hot Work. jocular paragraph: "On the tram while the epidemic ol homicides was under discussion, remarked that one, -to be banged now-a-days for murder, should go before the clerk ,ot court and swear to his purpose and deliberate intention, and malice, to kill his man, and then have bis affidavit published in the newspapers four succes sive weeks. To which it was replied that this would fail of Its purpose, as the murderer would go scot free on the ground of insanity." . - While he lived and moved and wrought among men of the niftiest ; rank, Dr. J. L. M. Curry was known and recognized as a great man. But with him, as with Dr. Curry's Greatness. warmest friends and admirers while be yet lived. Now that he Is dead, the grand proportions of his matchless masterfulness are beginning to be out lined, albeit they are yet but dim as compared to what theyjwill be. Per haps no man in the South for half a century or may be longer has held such grasp on any single subject as did Dr. Curry on the subject of educa tion. To that subject he gave the best thought of his master mind and in the interest of education he did his noblest and most enduring work. While through bis agency of the great "Peabody Fund" and "Slater Fund" hisefforts were mainly in the interest of education for the South, he Is re garded and mentioned by men in the North as the "friend of the South and the North." H. Clay Trumbull made an interesting contribution to a late issue of the Sunday-School Times on Dr. Curry. He closed the article with this strong and expressive paragraph : "As soldier, as orator, as dip lomat, as educator, as pacificator, as clergyman, as Christian worker, and as tiue and noble man, J. L. M. Curry filled an important place and did a noble work. He will be sadly missed and much mourned. His memory is worthy of high honor iff this countryf&orth and South, East and West, and in other lands than this." " " A member of the Wisconsin Legislature recently introduced a joint reso lution for a national conference to be held in Atlanta on July 4th to di- That Conference. Wisconsin Legislature might as well "organize an expedition to find the north pole." Really we thought at first that the matter was not being considered seriously by the Wisconsin Legislature, but it now seems that we were in error! The matter baa called forth some strong editorial ex pressions by the Atlanta Constitution, which says that time aloie can set tle it. In part the Constitution "says : "Just one thing is necemaiy to understand : Conditions as they exist with the negro to-day were not of a day's making ; nor of a year nor a generation. Nor can they be changed in a day, or year; or generation. The negro is going through a process of evo lution. And, as a matter of f ac I, he is far better off to-day than he ever was. If slavery was wrong, it, at least, brought the negro out of the wilds of Africa and introduced him to civilization. It then fitted him, in a measure, for the pursuits of life.. With freedom came the responsibility -of sustaining himself. And there he is to-day with very few of his num ber having learned that second lesson to any extent. A few, it is true, have mastered it quickly ; have mide conspicuous successes in the various walks of lifer t- No, a 'race convention' such as is pro- posed would do no good, would accomplish nothing, in fact. It would bring on a lot of talk, perhaps give many an opportunity to air their 'theo ries' then leaye uswhere we were before. With the same conditions still existing and the same necessity for Bolying our problem among ourselves -which only the, best thought, the best efforts and the beet conscience of the two races, here brought in daily contact and fully understand each other, can do. And that, tod; only with patience, with conservatism and - - . ' ' with a spirit of justice and patriotism that should characterize alt men." PASSING BVBNTS. ago, said the Atlanta Constitution. He has made merry for mans people by his tongue and get off with a light sentence. The Lumber ton Argus emphasizes the same idea in the following the other-night a witty gentleman, all truly great men, his real great- ness had received no true estimate by even his cuss "the race problem," and try to solve it, of course. The Indianapolis Sentinel says that the INVE3T IN POLITENESS. A Guarantee of 10 Per Cent. Betnra oi the venture. When a business man bears of a sure investment which will yield him 5 per cent, he does not hesitate long about patting his money into it. Even a 3 per cent profit he does not scorn. - I can suggest an investment which will yield always 3 per cent., and usu ally 5 if you will go into it thoroughly The stock is known, as politeness. Others call it conslderateneee. "Sup pose you invest in it for one week, to begin with. If at the end of that time you have received no dividend you can tell me I advertised a worthless stock. Begin to-morrow morning at home Think of some agreeable thing to say and do tefore you leave the house. Compliment your wife on her appear ance, or her goodness, and praise the cook. Say some word to cheer the children or make them start the day with a laugh. It will be remarkable if you .do not receive your first dividend immediately. Then continue your investment at the office. Pay a little notice to the elevator man. Remember his work is not the most inspiring in the world, and he must often think life is monot onous. Try and give him an Idea that he is a man among men, and not a mere machine. -Then try a smiling "good morning" in place of a surly growl, on your office boy If he has done his work well tell him so and thank him. Keep f this attitude all day ; who ever you come in contact with, prac tice upon. All may not appreciate your effort; but never mind ; you do not expect to get all your return at once. But you are pretty sure to find the day seeming lees wearisome than many which have preceded it, and you - are quite certain to feel the home a much happier place than usual when you enter it that evening.. If you -do, tbat eju!4 be counted as full 10 per cent, interest on your in vestment. Anything which adds one extra hour of cheer to the home life is of vital importance in this world. Any thing which casts unhappiness or gloom upon home is a calamity too great to be lightly brought about. If you keep on with your invest ment something more than pleasure and happiness will be offered you as dividends. In the long run these returns will assume , the form of material profits. Your employes will like to remain with you, and will take a deeper interest in aiding you. Not all, but enough to ; save you the necessity of continual ! changes.. , Your business associates will like) you, and an endless chain of good feel ing and good fellowship will be estab lished.

A current of good well set in motion will create ' new friends for you. Many of the worries and vexations which surround your life now will disappear.

The readers of this' paper will be picased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure In all its stages,-and that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Curejis the only positive cure known-to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a con stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building' up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

Atlanta journal. -The recent startling epidemic of dis- sters on American railroads makes timely the consideration of devices for the prevention of wrecks and for tbe more expeditious safety of passenger travel. " It is a well-known fact that foreign engineers and inventors receive more encouragement from railroads abroad for devices of this class than do inven tors in our own country. More atten tion is paid to the absolute safety of passenger trains in England and on the continent than in America, where tbe stretches of new railroads over thinly settled regions preclude, the employment ol expensive signal devices. Recently, howeyer, public sentiment is beginning to demand a fuller system of apparatus lor the prevention of acci dents, not only on tbe trunk lines run ning through populous sections, but on tbe longer railroads as well. ; " A device recently tested on one of the state railroads near Frankfort, Ger many, seems to cover almost every re quirement for the safety of passengers and the expeditious handling of trains. Without going into technical details, we will merely state that the appliance is electrical in character and is operat ed by a third rail, the joints of which are so connected as to form a continu ous conductor. . A device midway un der the forward part of the engine is connected with a telephone and electric alarm bell in the cab, and a red incan descent lamp in the same place, and by an ingenious arrangement the engineer can at any moment satisfy himself that the system is in perfect workiug order: Messrs. Hubert Pfirnan and Max Wen - dorf are the inventors. An interesting account of the test given to this appliance is forwarded by Frank H. Mayson, United States con sul general' to Berlin. Mr. Mayson says :-':-"'"'- :':.'-:;;,"-",:. ' "The' tests on November 12th were conducted oh the main line from Frank fort to Hanao, between tbe stations MANY SCHOOL CHILDREN SICKLY.

Attei ten minutes' wait, the engineer of 290 received word by telephone that the obstruction bad been cleared away and thereupon resumed bis trip. "A mile farther on the signal on 290 again sounded and tbe driver was in formed by telephone as before that tbe semaphore round a' curve and more than half a mile distant was set at "halt." Thereupon engine 290 nlowei down and proceeded cautiously, sound ing its whistle at f hort intervals, tbe telephone bell in tbe driver's Cab ring ing continuously until the curve wis rounded, when the ringing' caased, nrktif cincT -htk AnainAAr that tho noma. bad Q clear Thereupon 290 resumed full spL In the test to prevent collision, en gine 1420 came upradidly from tehiod and ou the same track as 290, which had slowed down snd was proceeding cautiously in consequence' of reported danger in front.
