The editor of the North American Review, who recently declared the American girl to be a bore, baa the following to say about old maids: "There was never yet a woman who could not marry, as sue should, if she would. It la only necessary to be a woman to win a man some man. "Splnsterhood la a purely voluntary condition, due to reprehensible con trariness, as Is clearly proved by the nomxlBtenco of a single authentic claim to exemption because of lack of opportunity. "The real point at Issue is whether the old maid of the present day ren ders a fair equivalent, or even tries to dp so, in one way or another, for what she receives, and to that our answer Is decisively negative. It Is a ead .state of affairs, to which we have given much unavailing thought. As a last resort in search of a method of reformation, the ubiqultary remedy of taxation occurs to our mtod as the only one holding forth hope of effectiveness." DIRECTORY. METHODIST CHURCH. Rev. R.

Washington, Special. United States Senator William James Bryan -ot Florida, died at Providence Hos pital at 8:30 o'clock Sunday morn ing of typhoid fever. It was only 73 days since' he took his seat as the suc cessor of the late Senator Stephen R. Afallory, who died December 23d, and 3 days of that time was spent in his flgbt against disease. Several times during Mr. Brayn's illness his friends despaired of his recovery, but as late as Saturday night the report was given out that his condition had taken a turn for the better. His death, therefore, came as a surprise and a distinct shock. In physique Mr. Bryan was nnfit ted to withstand a protracted fever. He was slight of build and of ner vous temperament. He came to Wash ington early in January from the warm climate of Florida and from the day of his arrival was far from well. Finally he was compelled to give up and was taken to Provi dence Hospital. During tBe last few days of his illness he was attended by specialists' from Johns Hopkins University Hospital, Baltimore. In Mr. Bryan the Senate loses the seventh member by death since the adjournment of the Fifty-ninth Con gress on March 4th, a year ago. They were the two late Senators from Alabama, Mr. Morgan and Mr. Pet tus; Mr. Mallory, of Florida; Mr. Latimer of South Carolina; Mr. Proc tor of Vermont ; Mr. Whyte, of Mary land, and Mr. Bryan. Curiously enough the last two were the oldest and t ha ..youngest members of -ihe body. Mr. Whyte was 84 years old and Mr. Bryn less than 32. hough Mr. Bryan was in the Senate too short a time to impress his individuality on legislation, or to take a prominent part in the consid eration of matters in committee, it is conceded that ho would have be- como a forceful part of the minority Mr. Bryan was born in Orange county, Florida, October 10th, 1S7G. He attended the public schools of his state and Kmory College, Georgia, graduating from the lntter instifu tion in 180G. Three years later he was graduated from Washington and Leo University and in 1899 began the practice of law in Jacksonville, Fla, Until a short thne before his appoint ment to succeed Mr. Mallorv in the Sennto he had served as solicitor of the Duval County Criminal Court. He was married to Miss Janet Allen, of Lexington, Va. Mr. Littlefield Resigns. Rockland, Me., Special. A sensa tion, was caused in political circles here- by the receipt by Governor Wil liam T. Cobb of a letter from Con fflessman Charles E. Littlefield,. ten drring his resignation as a member of Congress, to take effect on Sep tember 30th next. In the same mail rax s communication to the chair man of the second district Republican congressional committee from Mr, Littlefield, in which the latter gave as the reason for his resignation his de- iro. iC: resume his law practice, which in a large degree, he has been com pelled to abandon because of his con gressional duties. The resignation came as a great surprise to Governor Cobb, and to the surprise of the Con gressman's friends in this district and was lVccived with much regret. CAUTIOUS BRIDE. Mrs. Bacon "I see a fashion article on bridal veils relates that a recent bride wore her face covered on the Vay to the altar."

RECEIVED INFERNAL MACHINE A Discharged Employe of White Oak Mills Sends an Infernal Machine to Mr. Cone But, Being Warned by an Employe, the Package is Not Open ed. Greensboro, Special. Hardin Ger many, a discharged employe of the White Oak Cotton Mills, was arrest ed and committed to jail charged with sending through the mail an infernal machine addressed to Mr. Ceasar Cone, president of the Proximity and White Oak Mills. The evidence against the prisoner is very strong, made so by the fact that he did his work in a bungling manner. The package was delivered to Mr. Cone Saturday morning, but the matter was kept quiet until sufficient evi dence to warrant an arrest had been secured. Within 35 minutes af ter being notified by telephone that the guilty man was located, Unit ed States Marshal Millikan had caus ed a warrant to be sworn out and had committed Germany to jail. Tho suspected criminal was detained in the office of the Proximity Mills un til he could be placed Under arrest byMarshall Millikan, who was carried to Proximity, a distance of two miles, by Mr. E. Colwell, Jr., in his auto mobile so uickly as to violate the speed law several times over. But for the fact that he had re-f-eived a warning, doubtless Mr. Cone would lave opened the package and received serious injuries. Mr. Cone was engaged in conversation with three of his brothers, Messrs. Sol, Ju lius and Bernard Cone, at his home Thursday night about 10 o'clock when the doorbell rang. The ring was answered by Mr. Sol Cone, to whom was handed the note of warn ing. The messenger appeared to be intoxicated, and immediately after delivering the note walked rapidly away from the Cone residence. The note, which was written in a legible band, on wrapping paper that had been taken from the eompany store at Whito Oak, read as follows: The Note. "Yir. Ceasar Cone. "Dear Sir: I pray that you will not treat this as you usually do anonymous letters, for believe me, it' is to your interest.. Your life is at stake. I learned to-niirbt that there liii.s been something mailed to you that will explode when yon open it. If you receive' a package that yon nip not expecting, for God s sake don 't open it. I have very good reasons for not giving my name, pleast don't treat this with contempt, but be very careful. Do you want the man who sent it arrested J "Vow respectfully yours. "WHITE OAK EMPLOYE." Across the face of the envelope in written S "Important. This letter or its contents must reach Mr. Cone be fore he receives his mail. Sir. Ceasar Cone, home. His life depends upon it." The machine consisted of a narrow box, loaded with powder, shot, etc., with matches fixed to fire the powder. It was a ''clumsy- affair but would doubtless explode with terrific force upon being opened. Death of A. & M. Student. " Winston-Salem, Special. Mr. Er nest Ilines, n student of the A. & M.

Washington, Special. The Ameri can battleship fleet is to visit Japan The desire of the Emperor of the island kingdom to play host to the "Big Sixteen" was laid before Sec retary Root by Baron Takahira, the Japanese ambassador. The invitation which was couched in the most cor dial terms, was made the subject of extended consideration by "President Roosevelt and his entire Cabinet. Secretary Root wag directed to ac cept the invitation, and the accept ance was laid before the Japanese ambassador. It is regarded in offi cial circles here as more than likely that China will be next to bid for a look at the fleet, and that should this be the case the invitation would be accepted. Secretary Metcalf and Admiral Pillsbury, chief of navigation, are arranging the details of the new itinerary. With- the exception of China, it is believed to have been determined that all other invitations, should any be received, will be de clined, for at best the fleet will now not be able to reach the Atlantic sea board before the first of next March. The itinerary which seems to be the most direct includes stops at the Hawaiian Islands, Samoa, Mel bourne, Sydney, Manila, Yokohama should that port be selected as the stopping place in Japan possibly a Chinese port, back to the Philippines and then' home by way of the Suez canal, with only such stops as are necessary for coaling. The fall target practice has been planned to occupy a month at ' Ma- nila either before or after the visit to Japan. The desire to have the fleet return to its home station may lead' to a curtailment of the month planned for Manila. Japan will have the ships a week, according to tenative plans. The aceptanee of the Japanese invitation is regarded in official circles as ol considerable importance in the way of administration of the cordiality existing between the American and Japanese govern ments. The added trip is nearly equal in distance to a voyage from New York to Europe. Census Report. Washington. Special.
