Logan's Plan to Put an End to Wars. NATIONS MUST BE HONEST Tin Hague Tribunal to Be the Basts of It—The Day Coming When "There Will Bo Only Ono Army to Keep the Peace of Notions. "We are jetting civilized enough to havo a world government," said ter a Logan, president of the New York State Bar Association, to a Net/) ' York Sun reporter. "By a world government, I don't ' mean any consolidation of nations or I anything that would involve the aboli tion of nationality. The seat of au thority In matters which involve dally life must remain In each country. "I mean simply that with the ad vance of civilisation the nations of tho world must consent to yield enough of their sovereignty to allow of the estab -1 lUhment of a legislative and Judicial authority which ihall act for all na tions in those particulars in which they come In contact with one another. A higher power than any one nation must have Jurisdiction In matters of dispute between nations. "Modern transportation has unified 1 the world to such an extent that this principle has got to become Interna | tlonal. Individual nations can no long eh be allowed to make war when they choose, any more than private persons. ' The advance of civilisation has meant, primarily, the taking of this power to make war away from private persons —the protection of life and property. | ' "The practice of oivilixed nations In their relatione with each other still re mains barbarous. The next move In civilisation 1s to extend, our private practice in this regard to International | relations. "Few realize how very recently the condition of private war died out. Down to the eighteenth century a large part of England north of Trent was in a state of barbarism. The parishes were required to keep bloodhounds to bunt down the bands of freebooters who lived by cattle stealing. "No traveller ventured Into that country without making bis will. The Judges on circuit, with the whole body of barristers, attorneys and clerks, rodo under an armed escort. "How has this state of private war been done away with? Simply by the Increasing influence and power of tho court. 1 "We are a Judge-governed people. In , no part of the world, in no scheme of human government does the Judge play so Important a part as among the Eng lish speaking people, especially In the United States. As a people we have the Judicial spirit. "It Is this general Judicial spirit 1 which has made possible the installa tion and perfection of the courts of Justice, which are the predominant fea ture of our civilisation. There is peace /nd order throughout the world in pro portion as the Judicial spirit Is devel oped among the people, at Its highest where the English language is spoken; at Its lowest, perhaps, In Russia... "The establishment of a complete law of nations for the determination of International difficulties Is the only way to prevent war In the world. But this is not enough. There must be a world congress behind the court to leg islate affirmative law for the world. The court must have the world's armies at its command to enforce Its decrees. "We must have a channel through whirh the public opinion of the world can make Itself relt in cases between nations; a world court to which the smaller and weaker nations can ap peal. And an International court when established must be administered upon the same basis as other courts—that of securing the Just rights of all parties. "Nations have got to learn to be hon est. And the individual attitude of thinking persons must change In this regard. We must learn to reprobate national sin, even when It Is our own. "The attitude of the supposed Intelli gent person who would condemn theft In his beet friend but excuse It in his government, under the name of patri otism. Is Illogical and absurd. The public opinion of the civilized world must begin to demand and enforce common honesty on the part of na tions. "This la no more visionary or im possible than has been the growth of the Judicial system in the nations. The Hague tribunal, imperfect as It is, Is the germ of a world government. When that tribunal has the same Juris diction over the globe as the supreme court bas wherever the stars and stripes float there will bo no more war." A New Surgical Glove. The gloves are "put on" by Inimers- 1 Ing the hands in a weak solution of gutta percha In benzine or acetone. The purpose of the film is to seal the surfaces of the hands with an Insolu ble, Impervious and practically Imper ceptible pellicle, which will not admlt blood, pus or secretions. Such a pro tective measure for surgeons Is said to be preferable to working with rubber gloves, Inasmuch aa the sense of touch or pliability of the skin Is not Impaired la any way. Sugar Production in Japan. Japan has recently been giving a' good deal of attention to the produc- i tlon of sug&r. The cane thrives on tho Islands, and there are several rail Series In operation near Osaka and Tokia and several more In process of erection. It lo expected that the amount of sugar now Imported from foreign countries will be greatly reduced before rery lone.—Poor-Track News. ffijt SUttXSTW, WILLIAMSTON, N. C M FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17.1905. I THEY LENT AND LOST. Fourteen Men Duped by a Pgrtslai Woman with Paato Jewels. A gifted Parisian lady has discov ered an ingenious sad apparently sim ple way to make $20,000 a year. She took her valuable Jewels to Ixm don and had tltem reset In Imitation diamonds and coloreo pearls. Ibis done, she pawned them at the Mont de-Plete for $20,000. Her. next step was to obtain a re ceipt signed by a complaisant dealer in pawn tickets, stating that the Jewels in question were set in diamonds aud pearls. That may bo said to have con stituted all her stock in trade. J An advertisement waa inserted In leading papers stating that a lady moving In the best circles, but In tem porary pecuniary difficulties, desired to meet with a person of means willing to enaule her to redeem and sell some valuable Jewelry. A good commission was promised. As soon as a dupe appeared, she ex plained that as the Moht-de-Plete does not lend money on dlsmonds and pearls, her Jewelry, upon which she had obtained a loan of 100,000 francs (120,000), waa worth quite five times that sum. Artful references to aristocratic friends and acquaintances, to successee at the Opera Comlque, to her dear de parted father, "a high military officer," generally sufficed to convince the vic tim that the lady's acquaintance was highly desirable, and the speculation a profitable one. He, as a rule, not only willingly advanced the |20,000 neces sary to redeem the pledge, but added $6,000 to |B,OOO to enable the lady to meet pressing demands until the Jew elry could be sold. | The Jewels having been redeemed, the lady and her dupe would proceed to. a Jeweler's to offer them for sale. The offer was, of course, refused, the prac ticed eye of the Jeweler detecting straightaway that the diamond# and pearls were Imitation. The lady played her role to perfec tion, declaring that she was the victim of a swindler who must have cleverly substituted the false for the real, while professing to teat them. The-real dupe took pity on the pseudo-dupe, and was only too glad to pawn the Jewelrs ones for $20,040, without Insisting on being paid back his advances In full. This went on well for some years. As the lady netted each time from $5,- 000 to $7,500 on the transaction, she was In no hurry to repeat the opera tion. Three or four times in the course of the year were sufficient to keep her In affluence. Fourteen dupes either believed the lady's Innocence, or, at any rate, took the loss In silence. Not *0 the fif teenth, a well-to-do provincial trades man, whom the lady actually persuad ed to accompany, her to Ixmdon, as she had good connections among London Jewelers, and might, therefore, she said, obtain a higher price. This vic tim was fleeced to the extent of $12.- 500, and at once proceeded to sue the lady for fraud.—London Leader. Henry H. Rogers Kept His Word. When Henry H. Hogers was a boy he had remarkably long arms and legs, and he found It impracticable to stow the latter comfortably beneath his desk in the old schoolhouse of his native town, Falrbaven, Conn. . "If ever 1 get money enough," he used to say, "I'll build a school in thia place with desks to fit all sizes of scholars." Since then this awkward youngster, who in his early days sold newspapers on the streets, has not only given two schools to Fairhaven, but also a million-dollar church, a library, a water works, and other improve ments which have literally trans formed the town. Mr. Rogers, who Is now 69 years of age, Is said to be worth about $65,000,- 000. He is tall, broad and square- Jawed, with shaggy brows which hide his eyes. When he talks, his utterance Is always Incisive and to the point. Not long ago, referring to a stock which has undergone undue inflation, be spoke of It as "a handful of value disolved In' water." Persistently he preaches the virtues of Standard Oil ar a public benefactor, calling attention to the fact that, as he says, "oil from wells drilled In Pennsylvania or West Virginia at a cost of SIO,OOO apiece la fetched to New York and sold for less than the price of spring water that has been transported the same distance," Weaknesses of the Great. Every great man or woman has his or her weakness. Queen Victoria's took the form of innumerable underscoring of words; Palmerston's was the be stowal of a capital letter upon every other word. Mr. Blrrell, who mildly denounces those that confound "will" and "shall," himself over "who" and "whom." Mr. Chamberlain always describes things as being "different to," and pleads that such and such en gagements "will preveut me making," and so on. Now this latter error, the false genitive, was one which Glad stone never forgave. Sir Edward Ham ilton tells us that he once "received quite a homily" from Gladstone upon the letter's detecting In a letter, writ ten by Sir Edward by his Instructions, the misuse of the genitive. The curi ous part Is that Sir Kdward. in a page near to tbat«£>n which this Incident is narrated, speaks of Gladstone's meth od of preparing speeches as being dif ferent "to" that which Is now In vogue. But Mr. Gladstone was not Infallible. Womanly BSauty. This generation has seen in a re markable fashion the results of popu lar expectation and general habits on physical development in the case of women. The number of tall and strong girls now Is moat striking and equally so are the beauty and vitality .of many women who are past the fiftieth birth day.—lllustrated London Now*. .•: i ~ - , rn : CIGAR FACTORY RTABKK. Place H# Fills an Important One for Benefit of Workingmsn, The reader in a cigar factory la an Important personage. Mounted on a dais near the uenter ot the room, with a skylight directly ovei iwad. he slu In a comfortable chntr and reads to the workmeu the nous ot the world, fic tion, history, poi.Vai erouomy, poetry and selections that may be requested. He Is not employed by the owner or manager of the cigar factory. but Is se lected by a committee or tut) workmen. He is paid usually aiiuut s2u a week. As soon as the workmen are seated at their benches or tables and start rolling the "smokers" the reader be gins. He must havo a clear voice, not too loud or harsh, which can be dis tinctly heard In all partß of the large room. First the daily papers are taken up and the telegraph i.ews of the world is read. Where no paper printed in Span ish can lie tU.au,i j containing press dispatches the reader translates the English text, alier first reading it aloud for the b it flt of the American workmeii who may not understand Spanish. After the telegraphic report comes the local news and then the edi tor!: 1«. 1 h'.s th 1 first half hour is spent. Never ivoro than one-half an hour's reading is inquired of the read er at one time. Alter his first rest the reader takes up some serial, usually a Spanish ro mance, ami devotes the next half hour to this. Then comes another reßt, in which the workmen discuss with their immediate working partners the mer its of the story, the probable fate of the horo or the villain aud also the au thor. l.lght literature occupies the next half hour of the reader's time, short stories from magazines. Jokes, conun drums, comments and fol-de-rol. History Is then taken up, Cuban his tory, Spanish history, the histories of various Europeau countries, and espe cial attention Is paid to the history of the United States. In the afternoon reading half hours the reader presents selections from the writings of work' fumJlis men of let ters. The course has been mapped out by the committee appointed for that purpose, and the reader must follow the committee's selections. How tne factories came to be provid ed with readers for the workmen Is of Interest It is a well established fact that people of the I atin races will use their hands, arnw, shoulders or heads when they tail: to emphasise their re marks. The Cuban or the Spaniard cannot talk two minutes without wav ing his hands nml Shrugging his shoulders. It (a second nature to him, and he can't help It Now. a clgsrniHkcr has to use both hands In makitu n and. as a cigatmaker cannot talk and work at the same time, a rule prohibiting talk ing In the factory In working hours Is an absolute necessity. Tradition has It thut shortly after the first cigar factory was established In Havana, t)ie o.vner, seeking to get as much work as iiossib'e from the em ployes, ami knowT'iK their fondness for stories, hit upon the happy Idea of hav ing a good reader read* to the. men an Interesting stnrv in tin l 'working hours. Then the managers stopped employ ing readers. Strikes followed, and fi nally an agreement was reached that the managers would Install. reader's stands In convenient locations and the workmen would select the readers and pay them and have n committee to se lect the class of literature. This plan has been carried out . for a century or more and works admirably. The readers selected are all well edu cated, and their reading has. as a rule, good effect. It has encouraged many workmen to take up courses of study and thus become welt informed upon all matters of Interest, —New York Tribune. Trees and Pyramids. Tradition has It that Napoleon en couraged hIH soldiers before the battle of the pyramids with the picturesque phrase, "Forty centuries look down upon you," and yet the span of a (Ingle sequoia about equals that to the Bibli cal chronologies of Nnpoleon seemed the Hint of time. Many of those still vigorous and growing trees sprouted about the time that Christ was born at Bethlehem In Judea. Moat of those atlll standing had commenced to grow at least before the fall of Rome, We can count the annual layers In the wood of those which have been cut down, and calculate with considerable accuracy th*lr a«e and varying rapid ity of growth' For example, In our cak or chestnut, the spring wood consists largely of pitted ducts of large sfze, which are prominent and In marked contrast with the much smaller-celled and more ootid additions formed by the slower growtli later In the season. In cone bearing trees like the sequoia the dif ferences are almost entirely 01 size, the transition being abrupt from the very fine wood cells formed at the close of the season to the much larger cells of the vigorous vernal growth. It fol lows that under certain conditions a tree might add more than one ring In a year, but for our purpose, and gener ally speaking. It la proper to designate these rings as annual. Year after year the sequoias hare been adding layer after layer to their girth In erer-wld enlng circles. The thousands of tons of bark shed by each tree during Its long career, the tens and hundreds of thousands of tons of sap that have coursed through their venerable trunks, and the Innumerable progency of a single tree In the older, more propi tious days—a contemplation of these iacts avlst us In realizing the trne pro portions of these forest monarch*.— Popular Science Monthly.

Has theru eve> 'leen c lottery, wo wonder, In which dreams of lucky numbers havo not played a romantla part, as In the case of M. Cousin, who won the second prize ot £B,OOO In the recent French lottery? That, for instance, Is a strange story that Is told of Slgnor Fozi, a merchant of Milan.. Not long ago the slgnor dreamed of his daughter, who died sev eral years since, and next morning, with his dream still mournfully haunt ing his memory, something brought to his mind that it was one of the days on which the municipal lottery was open. To the lottery he went, being a man of sporting instincts, and his dream sug gested the venture. His daughter hav ing died at the age of 24 years 13 days and 4 hours, he selected these three numbers to brt upon, and two of the three proved highly lucky. One, on which he l->'d Bs. 4d. brought him 260 times his stakes, or over £IOO, and the other 4,''.tl times his stake of £1 12s. 6d., or 1 'ally £7,00u. It waa tt dream that brought fortune too late fur an Italian peosant called Luca. The peasant dream I one night that he had been piesetit at the draw ing of the great stale lottery, aud that the first prize of £B,OOO h d fallen to ticket No. 24,010. Wheu he awoke he was an strongly Impressed by his dream thajl he st'raped togi her all the money lie possessed, a.iu, after long searching, was able lo buy a ticket, not of the number of his dream, but con taining the same figures in a different order. Then he fell on evil days, his wife died of an Illness brought on by hardship and starvation, utid a few days later he, too, succumbed. Within a week of this double tragedy the ticket he had purchased was awarded the great prize at the lottery drnwing. I'l the early days of lotteries iu Eng land to dream a number wus always looked on as the luckiest of omens. In an old copy of the Post Boy we may still read this advertisement: "This is to give notice that 10 shillings over and above the market price will be given for the ticket in the £1,500,000 lottery, No. 132, by Nath Cliff, at the Bible and Three Crowns In Cheap side." Light was thrown on this mys terious notice by n letter which the advertiser wrote to the Spectator, In which he says: "You must know I have but one ticket, for which reason, and a certain dream 1 have lateily had more than once, I resolved It should be the number I most approved. My visions are so frequent and strong upon thl* occasion that I have not only possessed the lot but disposed of the money which In mll probability It will sell for." Woman and Proverbs. The Spanish rhyme has It: "Were a woman as little us kilo is good, a pea pod would make her a gown aud a hood.' , An old Kngllsh saying "If a man lose a woman aud a farthing, he will b«»Borry he lost the farthing." The Kench adage: ''A man of straw la worth a woman of gold " The German: "There are only two good women In the world -one dead and -the. other can't be found " The Scotch say .

The Georgia legislature made a further addition to the number of counties In the Cracker State, bringing up the whole number from 137 to 145. New York, with its great population, is able to get along wilh 01 counties, while than-double the size of Georgia, gets along with 57. What political necessity there can bo for 145 Independent counties In Geor gia, gach with a separate government, organization and expense, Is a prob lem, but perhaps the reason Is the same which has added to the number of counties in Texas until there ure .low 246. In one of them at the presiden tial election of last year only 22 votes were cast, In another 120, In another ISO and in a fourth 60. The propen sity to create counties In the south and southwest has always "been marked.

A Judge of the supreme court is fond of yachting, and a few days ago he In vited a friend of his to go for a cruise with him. At the start (he wind was quite brisk, but soon freshened into a I4ile and made the little craft toss and roll in a manner that causeil the guest's features to twist Into expres sive contortions. The Judg«, noticing his friend's plight, laid a soothing hand on the other's shoulder and said; "My dear fellow, can I do anything tor you?" "Yes," replied the other in plaintive tones, "you will greatly [oblige me by overruling this motion." —Wow York Tribune. AN ALLIGATOR FARM. Novel Industry Pursued In an Arkaiv aaa Locality. The alligator farm of H. T. Camp bell Ilea on a small mountain stream that flows the year round. A series of ■mull lakes, or ponds, fed by the •tream, constitutes the breeding grounds of the reptiles. Mr. Campbell haa not taken stock of his farm for several months, but knows that there *re over 800 'gators In the lakes ai Iho present time, which range in length from six Inches to nearly ill teen feet. On account of a disposition among the large ones to make a dinner of the imaller ones, the lakes are sepnrated by wire netting. The number of occu pants of each lake is then determined by their ability to take care of lh«m •elves. in the summer months the 'gators ire fed every Sunday. They hibernate during the winter and will not ett the most tempting morsel placed at th.-lr mouths. The winter quarters ot the farm Is a long, low-roofed building, heated by steam. The building is"dl vlded Into sections, and each section imssesses a pool of water, with steam pipes at the bottom. In the winter the 'gator cares nothing for space, and 200, one on top of another, will occupy one small pond. The age of an alligator Is something no one can determine. Mr. Campbell's experience with them will tempt him to do more than guess when the age of Big Joe Is asked. He will say that Big Joe Is over 150 years old, and perhaps 300. but he will not be more definite. Mr. Campbell spends a part of each year hunting for 'gators to replenish the stuck 011 his fariu. '1 he bayous of southern Louisiana along the Gulf coast and the swamps of Florida are his favorite hunting grounds. The small alligator Is caught with a net, but the capture of a larye one. that is, one over eight feet long. is never at tempted in the summer time. He Is located then, and the hunter waits for him to hibernate. When the 'gator thinks he is stowed away for the L-old season he awakens to find the hunter upon him with unyielding nooses that tighten with every vicious lunge he makes. When the hunter succeeds In getting the reptile on its back then the rest is easy, as the position soon causes It to pass into un almost coma tose condition. in the hottest of the summer months the female begins to lay her eggs. She will first make a nest resembling a rubbish heap on the bank of the lake, and after laying will cover the eggs with the same imitwtal. In* ttVpi;o' climates the heal of the sun hatches the eggs, but at, Mr Campbell's farm an Incubator Is depended on. One fe male will lay from thirty to forty-flye eggs before abandoning 11 nest After ward she will guard it night and day until the young ones take' to the water, but after they reach the water they have to look out for themselves. , Mr. Campbell Bold more than three hundred alligators last year to zoolog ical gardens, circuses anj private indi viduals.

On a platform car that can be run either on the tails or on an ordinary road. Is mounted a verti cal steam engine of twenty-live horse power connected with a dynamo sup plying fcurrent at 220 volt*. There is also a vertical boiler and water tank, and various portable con ductors and supports that enable the current to be carried to the tools em ployed In fixing the rails and packing the sleepers.. The current fii from two wires by small trolleys, and is then led to macM.iO tool.-.
