Secretary of War Linsdownc and First Iird of the Admiralty Coschen immediately proceeded to the War Of fice. The news from South Africa is eager ly awaited as many think that the Cabi net Council will immediately be followed by a Boer raid.

Morrison, who was selected as coach for the A. and M. foot ball team, wired this morning that he could not accept since he has signed with another college. It is probable that Mr. John McKee, of this city, will coach the team. MR. REED'S FAREWELL. Mr. Heed's farewell to the Republicans of the First Maine District contains a very brief summary of a very remark able career. However uruch the views of the expansion, no one in the party or out of the party will deny that his record is without taint and that he has been one of the strongest personalities of his time. It is with pardonable pride that he says: "During the three and twenty years of Isilitical life, not always iicaceful, you have never questioned a single public act of mine. Other men have looked -after their districts. My district has looked after me." That is the fact, and fortunate is the district which has political leaders in whom it can place such implicit eonfi donee. As leader Mr. Reed has been iu the fullest sense of the term, despite the recent decline of bis influence, a -let line which may be ascribed wholly to his re fusal to surender his opinions. He de clare truly in his reference to his Demo cratic friends that he can acknowledge their good will with all propriety, even in a letter to Republicans, since be has never "trimmed a sail to catch tbe passing brceise or even flown a doubtful flag." But no leadership is powerful enough to oppose successfully a mighty and well nigh unanimous public sentiment. The choice mmrt then be made between am bition and conscience, and the time has surely arrived to put ambition asidi As Mr. Reed says: "Office as a 'rihbi n to stick iu your coat" is worth wbody's consideration. Office as opportunity worth all consideration." Young polti cians in particular would do well to herd this admonition. If rttey are anxious to enter public life let them first conrlder carefully whether it will involve a sac rifice of principle and character. Chica go Times-Herald. TKEY'JvL HAVE) .MONEY.

IS A MOUSTACHE PROPERTY? A Man Sues for Damages for the Loss of One, and Consequent Ment al Anguish. ' Is a moustache property?" said a guest in ihe St. Charles lobby last even ing. "If so, what is its vale? These points will lie raised in a very peculiar iii : l which is coming up at the next term of court in a town over in Geor gia. I'd rather not mention any names, but I happened to be familior with the facts, and they are briefly these: Almost a month ago a well-known trav eling man was staying at the leading hotel of the place, and went to the igar stand one day to get a light. They had a new fangled concern that spouted out a jet of flame when the lighter was lift cl, but on this particular occasion it bung fire. The drummer was trying lo make it work when all of a sudden it blazed out like a volcano and liked iff his long, beautiful blonde moustache. He was furious, of course, because the moustache had been his chief ornament ind pride, but the affair might have still passed off without trouble if he had not been so unmercifully guyed. The upshot if ibis was that he demanded damages, the landlord laughed nt him and he then instructed a lawyer to bring suit for $2.r.oo. "The paiors will be filed in the next term of court. I am told they make some interesting allegations. It will be claimed, for instance, that the moutache was of direct assistance to its owner in earning a livelihood, lusommch as it gave him a distinguished appearance, and thus facilitated his interviews with Ihe trade. Its loss, he holds, was a dis figurement which has occasioned ridicule, fulling off in prestige nd consequent shrinkage in business. He will also al- J lege that his altered appearance causeo great mental anguish to himself and his wife, mid that that species of suffering nwiy be reduced, under the law, to dol lars and cents. Incidentally he will try to prove that the absence of a moutache affected his eyesight. So, as you may observe, a good many interesting and delicate question will be raised, and I dare way the case will attract wide at tention. I hnve the particulars I men tion from the victim himself. What sort of defence will be set up remains to be seen." New Orlenns Tinies-Demo-crnt. NAVAL RESERVES WANT PRIZE MONEY. Trenton. Sept. 19. lieutenant C. S. ltradmk, who coniiinaiuls the H'addon ticld Division of the New Jersey Naval Reserves, gave Governor Voorhees a surprise this morning. The Naval Re serves asked the Governor to interfere with the proceedings at Washington which would shut out the New Jersey Naval Reserves from the distribution of prize money to be given to Admiral Sampson and the blockading squadron. The Naval Reserves served on the Resolute at Santiago and participated in the attack on the Cervera fleet. Ac cording to the statement filed with the Governor the first shot fired at Santiago crossed the bow of the Resolute and fell within a few hundred feet of the ship. It was subsequently ordered by Admiral Sampson to the outside of flic American fleet. lya-rer tree nnmiu captured 400 seamen and fourteen Spanish officers from the Cristobal Colon, and in consequence it claims part or the prire money. In the map prepared for Admiral Sampson and filed by him with the War Deportment the Resolute has no place in the war plan and ie given no fighting record. On that account the Jersey Re serves will get none of the prise money. Governor Voorhees stated that he would assist In having the omission rec tified, but he deemed it wise not to act until after the presentation of the sword to Admiral Sampson, so that the felici tations of that ocoaoion may not be in terfered with, He will, however, make Inquiry, and if early action is necessary it will probably be taken. I" expressed the belief that Admiral Sampson had no desire to do an injustice to the heroes from bio borne Stat. i: - . Beaton Galea Lodge meets tonight at T;30 o'clock. ' , ESCAPED CONVICT Aflicted Boy Wonders off But is Brought Brack MAKE THREE MILLION BRICK Sheriff of Transylvania Brian White Mao, who Murdered Hit Brother, Here by Night to Pre. vent Lynching. This morning it wiaa reported that a convict had escaped from the peniten tiary last night by scaling; the stockade and had been recaptured at Cary. A Times-Visitor representative inves tigated the report and found it only par tiully true. The authorities state that the escaped convict was only a negro boy serving a five year sentence. He is badly afflicted and incapable of do ing any work. Yesterday afternoon he was sent down to the brick yard and while there he wandered off. Early this morning the watchman of the Cary Lumber Company at Cary saw the boy, recaptured him aud brought him- back to tbe penitentiary. When recaptured he was walking down the railroad track. Sheriff G. W. Burns nnd Deputy Sheriff John McD. Monaghatn, returned to Fayetteville this morning. They brought two colored prisoners to the Penitentiary. One, Major Johnson, is to serve one year for larceny this is his second term. The other prisoner is nam ed Jim Wright, and was sent up five venr for breaking into and robbing a store. He is only 16 years old. Sheriff V. B. McGala, of Transyl vania, brought to the penitentiary be fore daylight four convicts, one of whom, ('. A. Robinson, he had to get out of jail secretly to prevent e lynching. Rob inson murdered his brother but escaped with a fifteen years sentence. The sheriff had to spirit him out of the coun ty ns public sentiment was against the prisoner. It is strange how few execu tions there are in Western Carolina when the number of murderers, homi cides, shooting scrapes, etc., is consid ered. Warden T. B. Russell, of the penhen tiiary, says that so far this year 2,500, IKK) brick have been made, and that this equals the liest record heretofore made there.

He ia still confined to his bed, and is extremely weak, yet he is happy and hopeful of recovery under the careful nursing of his bride. As soon ao bis condition will permit he will lie removed to the homo of Cuban friends in New York. Mr. Zyers is about twenty-five yeara old and a decided blonde. She and Zyers met five years ago in Havana, while she was traveling with her mother. Bhe was born in Boston, and was apparently a young woman of wealth and refine ment.
