NEW YORK NEWS

Our New York buyer, Mr.. George
Virden, writes Us that there Is some big
bargains coming in their way just now.
Trade has not been 20 good this Spring
in New York. The labor troubles in
the West and East, Floods in the South,
and DrOuth in Texas, all have had their
effects on the trade Of our great dis
tributing centre, New York-and many
Of the merchants are left with big stocks
Of Summer goods on hand, that must
be turned into money. They 20 to the
Auction room; Forced sales, and Bank
rupt sales are the result. And here
comes in our advantage Of having =
buyer right on the spot watching and
waiting for just such chances. This is
the secret Of cheap goods-the buying
and right well Mr.. Virden understands
it. Having a buyer all the year in New
York to watch these chances-having
goods at all times below their market
value, places US to day head and shout
ders above any competition from goods
bought in a regular way at regular
prices. STEDMAN & co.

A Clever Amanuensis.

They are telling in New York Pro-
duce Exchange circles of fair, young
amanuensis who captured rich hus-
band by trick and device. He was a
widower, hard seasoned by a quarter OF
a century of woman-hating. He hired
a comely girl to work a typewriter in
his office. For year he thought moth
ing of her beyond her employment in a
purely business way. Last summers
heat made him sleepy on idle after
moons, and he got into habit of taking
a nap on his sofa. The demure, ire
proachable girl had ere this, it would
seem, determined to become his wife.
She looked him carefully over and de-
cided that his extreme badness of head
was his weakest point for attack. One
day when he arose from his nap, she
calmly said: ''Mr. -, your hair is
mussed. VIII YOU let me fix it?" He
glanced quickly at her, but she was
placid as a heifer with its feet in a
creek, and he could discern no obiiquity
of purpose. So he grunted an assent
and she came up behind him with CONT
and brush. Then she made the stroke
for fortune. If it had been so much a!
a touch of her soft hands on his barr
pate, or the suggestion of caress to hi
shoulder, he would have known that sh,
was up to some vile of fascination, ant
her venture would thereafter have beef
hopeless. But be felt nothing but tn
brush and comb. However, those tool
of hairdressing were deity put through
the motions of parting hair where i
ought to have grown, while in point o
fact there was nothing there except tn
merest furze- A mirror hung opposite,
and he looked into it to catch her laugh
ing behing his back. but she was a
tranquil, sweet, and grave as thougl
her job wasn't hollow mockery. Fl
was caught without further struggle, tn
narrative of the exchange AYERS, an
she was retired from Office service to be

The New Bishops.

Bishop Charles Il. Galloway, writing
from the Methodi,t Episcopal Conference
at Richmond, to the n. o. Christian Ad-
vooate, says; On Tuesday the election of
four bishops was held, and resulted in the
selection Of the following in the order
named Wallace W. Duncan, of the South
Carolina Conference Charles h. GALLOWAY,
Of the Mississippi Conference Eugene
X. Hendrix, OF the Missouri Conference,
aud Joseph ;. Key, Of the South Georgia
Conference. These brethren having re-
ceived constitutional majority of the
votes cast, we're declared elected to the office
Of Bishops in the church. Mr.. Duncan has
for Yeas been a leading man IN South
Carolina, and as Professor in WOffOrd Col
eye and preacher at large, has been popu-
lar and most efficient. He comes to the
office in the prime Of a vigorous manhood
and promises years of large usefulness to
the church. DR.. Hendrix has been well
known in Southern Methodism since his
missionary tour around the world with
| Bishop Marvin in 1917 lie is finely edu-
Gated, polished gentleman, preacher Of
| force and versatility, a successful educator
aud a man Of affairs. As the president Of
the Central College, at Fayette, Mo-, he has
| shown large capacity for administration.
/ DR.. Key Is the Oldest OF the four, being
about dity-eight years OF age. He is an
alumus Of Emory College, Ga, and has
devoted laborious life TO the itiuerant min
isiry. His work has been exclusively in
active pastoral service. OF the other
shall not speak. He assumes these great
responsibilities with trembling, but in the
fear Of God. The old Advocate Office was
50 pleasant and its labors so eongenial, he
would have been quite content TO have re-
manned there for years. But 10 him the
call Of the church is the voice Of God, and
Obedieutlv he goes

Government Control of Railroads q
Eaifure

A second plan for making COMPETE
ton a public benefit has been that OF
state ownership of part of the compel
ing lines. 1t has been tried on a large
scale in Belgium and Prussia, and on q
smaller scale in most other countries,
the United States not excepted. 1t was
thought by the advocates of the system
that the government would thus obtain
controlling influence over the rail
roads with which it came in contact,
and be able to regulate their policy bv
its example. These hopes have been
disappointed The private railroads I'M
der such circumstances regulate those
OF the government far more than the
government regulates the private rail-
roads. There is no chance to carry out
any schemes of far-sighted policy. Il
the private roads are run to make
money, the government roads must be
managed with the same end in view.
The taxpayers will not let the govern
ment lines show a deficit while cOmpet-
ing private lines pay dividends. No
administration would dare to allow
such thing, however important the
end to be attained. As matter Of
fact the government roads of Belgium
and Germany were as ready to give re-
bates as the private lines with which
they came into competition. In Bel.
GUM they went so far as to grant spe-
cial rates TO those persons who would
agree not to ship by canal under any
circumstances. The same thing has
been done in New York State: but il
I Belgium the peculiar thing was that the
canals and railroads both belonged &c
the government, and yet were fighting
one another in this way. The system
of partial state ownership was hardly
distinguishable in its effects from sim
pie private ownership. This fact ha.
been clearly recognized within the las
twelve years. Within this period, Bel
| gum, Prussia, and Italy have aban
doned the ''mixed system" Belgium
and Prussia have made State manage
ment al! but universal; Italy has practi
cally given it up.-Arthur T. HddLey
in Rop~Icr Science Monthly.

and his tones are As soft as those of a
woman. There is nothing ostentatious
about him. and he seems TO be more on
persuasive than the aggressive order.
His little form Is dressed in \ well-cut
business suit. and he sits slightly bent
in his chair One of his small white
hands rests upon the table and he turns
q pencil over and over as the talk goes
on. / note that his hand IS of q good
size, well filed out. and very white and
soft Still it trembles with nervousness,
and the whole man seems to be bun

Els other hand lies upon his knee, and
see that one of his legs is crossed
over the other. and Ihat he wears n
huttoned shoe with good broad sole.
De gestures nervously as he talks. Now

now shakes his finger at the examiners.
He smiles, too. and his black ewes light
up, and he looks cordial and friendly.
judge he has some sense of humor.
and know from the wrinkles in his
brow at times that his nature is fine
enough to feel almost any kind of n
sensation.
His face is a curious one. but not on
first view striking. 1t is long, dark.
and sallow in complexion. The fore
head is not very high nor broad. but it
Is well filed out and the skin is drawn
tightly over it just above the fore-
head badness is beginning to creep in,
and through the thin black hair YOU

back as the croWn-a rise which goes
up like plane and with no bumps.
Mr.. Gould's hair is black. with here
and there a glimpse of silver. 1t is
rather thick at the sides and around the
back of the head, and he keeps it well
cut His face is covered with a full
beard of black whiskers, into which the
gray is also creeping. These whiskers
are not long and are curly and glossy.
Gould's eyes are full of expression, and
they laugh and flash upon occasions
His nose is inclined to the Roman and
the nostrils are very large and sensitive.
His ears are large. and he combs his
hair behind them. He was not at all
forward in the examination and an
swered readily the questions put to him.
He had a couple of detectives near him,
and his lawyer was at his back to give
him advice as occasion demanded. He
exhibited no fear, and read the denun-
citation of the strikers with a display of
some feeling.

We copy the following from the Port
Gibson Reveille for the benefit of those
who censure the Governor for the exercise
OF the pardoning power:
Mr.. James Bethea returned to his old
home on Thursday. At different periods
strong petitions have been sent forward
asking for executive clemency, and more
recently one which His Excellency could
not resist. With words Of sincere kind
ness, and lecture such as father would
administer to a son, the Governor sent th'
young man to his home, saying. 90 and sit
no more. For an act prompted by an i'm
pulsive nature, and under undue excite
ment iron causes which are the author O
so much crime and sorrow, the young mar
has suffered severe punishment. and W,
believe he has been patient sufferer. Hi
kindred and friends have suffered in a lik
degree, and now it will be for him to turl
his back upon the past, and to spend hi
future 10 striving to be a faithful, usefu
citizen. In likelmanner it is the duty o
every citizen to take him by the hand, am
give him such countensnce and encourage
ment as may stimulate him TO a life Q
usefulness.
