Katherine-, May Singleton, an ( English girl reared in Pari, accompanied b,y Mme. Elise Du pleasis, t-flytng East on the last leg of a journey what till take her ararad the world. She is under commission from a French magazine to converse with men of all nations and find out what na tionality combines the best type of manhood. "My trip," said she, "grew out of a wide and heated discussion in the Frecnh papers on men of all nations and their manners. The trouble started over cables from New York complain ing of indignities suffered bv American girls at the - hands of Frenchmen." Here is her analysis: "Russian men are the most polished and accomplished, referring always to those of the ruling class the army and diplomatic corps. "Frenchmen are the most accomplish ed love makers and least desirable hus bands, referring to the upper class, but the middle class Frenchman is the safest marrying man on earth. "Englishmen are the most misunder stood of all mankind, clumsy love mak ers, insolently insular in their prejudices; but sincere in their affections and hon est in their convictions. ,; American .men are kaleidoscopic, combining many of the -most fascina ing qualities-'of the Russians and French, with the sincerity of the English, lack ing the brusquerie of the latter. "Germans are tryannical in domestic affairs, uncouth in love, splendid in ad ministrative capacity, polished in diplo macy, generous entertainers and stolid, unimaginative thinkers. ' "Half your American men are really French, German, English or Irish. "Now, I. haven't been in Ireland yet, but an instance occurs to me that illus trates just what I mean.

HEAR OHM REPORT-TUESDAY Investigation of Prospecjti ve Sale of Power Plant to Be Heard From. CONSIDER NEW BUILDING TOO Prlceoof Bidders Reared as. Ex orbitant By Some of The Aldermen, The regular 'monthly meeting of the Board of Aldermen will be held next Tuesday night and among the other matters of importance which will be taken up will be thet advisability of erecting a new structure to house the water and tight- plant. At the last meeting of the 'Board held about two weeks ago, plains and specifications for this building were placed before the Board but at that time Alderman Ellis stated that he understood there was a probability of the electric plant being sold to the Carolina Power and Light Company of Raleigh and that the matter should b held up for a few days until some in vestigation of this probability 'could be made. A few members did not agree with him but upon a vote the motion was carried. .Tuesday night the result 61 this investigation will be made phiic When the matter of erecting a new building at the water and light plant was first taken up it was the intention of the Board not to spend more than eight or nine thousand dollars. Yet when the "plans were drawn and bids made there was not a bid lower vthan twelve thousand dollars and there was one for more than seventeen thousand dollars. Since the last meeting of the Board several of the aldermen have stated that this is entirely to much money to spend for the building and that in their be lief it could be constructed for much less and be just as serviceable and also fireproof. Just what will be done at the meeting Tuedsay night is a matter of speculation and the outcome will be awaited with interest by many. GETS HEARING TODAY.

WHY REMOVALS ARE URGED Leaders Like Ollie James and Sena tor Burleson Favor A Clean Sweep. Washington, Nov. 29. The tempta tion to turn the next adminstration into a patronage producer is proving too strong for many the Democratic leaders. One by one of the incoming members of the House and Senate are declaring in favor of the to-the-victor-belongs-the spoils system. They are talking the matter over elmong them selves and are readily convincing each other that the election of Wilson carried with it the right to fill Federal offices with men inpolitical sympathy with the adminis tration. More than one of them even wants President Wilson to revoke-the Execu tive order whereby ail fourth-class postmasters were placed under the civil service. They desire to make a raid upon the 200,000 or more Republi can postmasters who ferer-now enjoyieg a measure of security, despite political changes. Other Democratic leaders will seek to persuade the new President that it will be the part of wisdom if he calls for the resignation of every higher Federal officeholder whose term may extend beyong March 4. These par tisans want Democrats to fill such places, urging two theories why such should be. The first theory is that the Demo cratic party, having gained the confi dence of the country, should have its own administrative staff in Washington and out of it if it is to maintain that confidence. .The second is that the party is entitled to the fruits of victory, and that these fruits consist of Federal jobs for the faithful. And these contenders argue that the spirit of the civil service system will not be violated when the fourth-class post masters, for instance, are again restored to politics. . This division of placehold ers has' never, it is pointed out, taken a civil service examination; they have shown no official fitness for their work and are now in the permanent service of the Government simply- because the President, on the eve of bis retirement, decided to continue a few hundred thousand Republicans in office. These same barters' are - convinced that if President T.tft had been re-elect ed he' would never nave issued the order, which "took four-fifths of the Federal patronage out of politics. 1 he truth is, the resident has recom mended just this thing to Congress in every annual message since he has been in the White House. He has even gone further and " has proposed that .all Federal officials whose s fitness is not predicated upon professional training, such as district attorneys, be' placed under the civil service. This fact is lost sight of by this impatient' Demo crats, however They want 'the jobs, and will "urge th new President to re store, them to polities. v" Senator-elect Pllie; James, of Ken tucky, is one of the leading Democrats who, has frankly said as much.

AFTERNOON WITH GOUNOD Music Club Studies Noted Com poser, With Mrs. Carraway as Hostess. Mrs. John Caraway entertained the Music Club .yesterday afternoon very moth ' to everybody's pleasure. This afternoon was devoted to, the study of Gounod. The program opened with a piano solo by -Miss Mary Willis, which she rendered with her usual skill and grace. Mrs. Herbert Lupton gave a vocal solo with much expression, and Mrs. Charles Hall and Mrs. Hubert Hanks sang "Oh, That We Two Were Maying?" Their vioces blended with much sympathy and the effect was more than pleasing. Mrs. Hartsfied was at her best in the Flower Song from Faust. This beautiful song seemed specially suited to her exqui site voice, and the way sh'e interpreted it1 spoke volumes for her culture. Miss Appie Caho read a paper on Gou nod that was masterly, and showed much study. The whole club felt indebted to her for the care and re search she used in getting her material together, and every one enjoyed the charming manner in which she present ed it.

IS WAITING ON CABLEGRAM Work in Philippines Regarded as Fitting Dr. A. W. Sellards For Emergency. Baltimore, Nov. 29. Dr. Andrew" Watson Sellards, assistant resident physician of Johns Hopkins Hospital and an authority on Asiatic cholera, has informed the American Red Cross that he is ready to leave for Turkey to aid in the battle against cholera, pro vided that he will not be hampered iu his work after reaching Constantinople. That the stricken thousands of the Balkan and Turkish armies are in need of cholera experts is demonstrated by the appeals received by the American Red -Cross. Whether Dr. Sellards will leave for Constantinople will depend upon a cablegram to be received from Ambassador Rockhill in a day or two. All arrangements have been made for a quick passage. At a meeting of the medical, com mittee'of the American Red Cross held in Washington several days ago the names of several American physisians were discussed. Dr. Sellards' name was placed before the committee- by Dr. Richard Pearson Strong, a graduate of Johns Hopkins Medical School and now chief of the biological laboratory of the United States Army. He is recognized as one of the world's fore most authorities on tropical diseases. He was formerly resident physician at Hopkins, resigning in 1899 to accept a commission in the Uhited States Army. A few months later he was sent to the Philippines, where cholera wan epidemic, and placed in charge of the Army Patholigcal Laboratory at Ma nila. Dr. Sellards was his assistant. Knowing what Dr. Sellards did with cholera in the Philippines, Dr. Strong considered him the most competent physicianutside the army for the work in Turkey, and he was selected. Miss Mabel Bardman, secretary of. the American Red Cross, communi cated with Dr. Winferd H. Smith, superintendent of Johns Hopkins Hosi pital, asking if Dr. Sellards could be spared for the work in Turkey. She was told that it could be done. Dr. Sellards when informed of the action of the American Red Cross re plied that he would go provided no serious obstacles would be placed In the way of his method of work. - While engaged in eradicating cholera from certain Philippine districts Dr. Sellardsfreceived special commendation from the United States Army. He made a special study of the disease, and his pamphlets have been widely read in this and other countries. In, going to the cholera camps in Turkey Dr. Sellards says he is only doing his duty as a physician. WOOD SCARCE AND HIGH Wagons From Country are Asking Six Dollars Per Cord.
