A MISTAKE.
When He is in Rome Gov. Jarvis Does
as Romans Do.

MAN About Town in \. Y. Starl
On Broadway yesterday l met exGov.
Jarvis, of North Carolina, who has just
returned from his post as American Min
ister to Brazil, and Robert Adams, Jr, of
Philadelphia, who has just been appoint
ed his successor by President Harrison.
Two men could not be more unlike in
habit, resources and ambition. Adams is
rich, dresses in the height Of fashion and
plays the high social dodge to the limit.
Governor Jarvis takes the other shoot, and
rather affects the hay-seed or husbandman
racket, and, like ex Attorney General Gar
land, repudiates dress suit on any and
all occasions. Neither does he take any
stock in the custom which requires man
to dress out of the ordinary. In fact sim
plicity is his motto in all the phases Of life.

Tried to Keep Him Out.
fFrom Reidsville Review. |

Senator Vance was among President
Harrison's callers one day last week, and
seeing his weary, careworn look, said he
simply called to pay his respects and in
form the President that he was sorry to
see him in such position. and assure him
that he did everything in his power to
keep him out of it. The President appre-
ciated the humor of the remark, and re-
turned his thanks to the North Carolina
Senator for his good intentions.

Dancing at University CONNIE ncement.

Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLEl
An article in last weeks CHRONICLE in
reply to the Rev. A. ID. Belts on the Uni
verslty ball invites an expression of opn-
ion on dancing. | will not discuss the
question AS to whether it is IAN innocent
amusement" But inasmuch as the larg-
est denominations of Christians, whose in
f1uence and money support the institution,
have decided that it is wrong, and do so
teach from their pulpits and discipline
members who violate this rule, | think
their opinions entitled to more respectful
consideration, and thus far endorse what
the Rev. A. ID. Belts said to the faculty
One of the most obstinate difficulties |
have met in discouraging opposition to the
appropriations needed by this institution
arises from the spirit manifested in this
matter. The ma jOrity must pay to sup
port the institution but the minority must
not be molested in question of morals,
even when it antagonzes the most sacred
principles Of the majority.
Mr.. Bachelors reply to ''Mf. Belts" may
not bring many replies but il would have
been better for the University had he not
published it. The faculty would do well
to seriously consider whether it were not
better to harmonze with the moral CON
victions of the Christian people from
whom they draw their support.
E. w. ATwATER
Mr.. ATwATER is right, as he usually is,
in saying that dancing ought not to be
allowed in any of the Univ ersity build
ings and the Trustees so thought soy
eral years ago when they prohibited it.
There is now no dancing in any building
owned by the University. The dancing
takes place IN the Gymnasium owned by
private parties. There is a difference of
opinion, and always will be, AS to whether
dancing is right or wrong. The Trustees
properly respect that difference of opinion
by excluding it. The CHRONICLE is certain
that if any members of the faculty assum-
ed to have any control over the Gymna-
SUM it was an error. The University ought
not to be charged with the error, because
dancing has been excluded from its build
lngs. 1t is impossible for the University
authorities to exclude dancing from build
ings owned by other parties, and it would
be unseemly if they attempted it. We
happen to know that some members Of the
faculty, notably DIR. MANGUM, have always
opposed dancing at commandments. For
a long time this was discussed and finally
by resolution the Trustees ordered that
there could be no more dancing in the
University buildings. Then some of the
patrons and friends of the University
| built a gymnasium and it is in that build
ing that the young folks trip the light
| fantastic. AS an institution, therefore,
the University is not responsible for the
| dancing. ng.-EDIToR.

Talk With a Locomotive Engineer.

Many persons imagine that the life
Of an engineer Is TOSt hazardous
enc. but there is very little more dam
ger attached to- il than 10 other call
ings. There is one thing thai gives
him an advantage over the other
trainmen and the passengers in case
of danger. Being at the head of the
train. he can see the dagger in time to
jump from his engine. The question
whether it is better to leave the en-
CINE or remain with il in cases of ac-
cident is often debated by railroad
men. | believe that the majority of
engineers think il best to Jump. As
in other vocatiOns. however, care will
prevent many serious mishaps. The
blame of accidents rests sometimes
with the engineer, again with the con-
ductor or brakeman. occasionally with
the dispatchers, and often with the
company through its other employees.
Yet the blame of a majority of acct
dents can not be ascribed to the negli-
gence of any one. A defective rail, a
misunderstanding, an unsafe bridge,
often hurls Il train into destruction,
and there Is no one to answer for the
blame. However. with the many ac-
cidents. seemingly, incident to rail-
reading, the percentage of death is
less than in most other industries

of nature, form the opal, the water
giving to the gem that shifting,

is the opal's peculiar charm. Who
would imagine that the fire in the
opal is not fire at all, but, of all things,
water! And yet the silica that holds
the radiant moisture captive is the

The Kansas City Journal referring
to the death of telegraph operator
James Igoe at the burning of the Tri-
bune building in Minneapolis, and
the many encomiums bestowed by the
press upon his bravery says with much
truth:
''It seems to us that the death of
James Igoe was conspicuously use.
less sacrifice. If it was a sense of
duty, not ignorance of his real danger,
which kept him at his post until too
late, it was a very mistaken sense,
If he knew that the building was
doomed to destruction there was abso-
lutely no reason why he should remain
behind when all others were seeking
escape. There was nothing to be
gained by remaining. He was re-
ceiving dispatches, not sending them,
and his leaving the ley could have
caused no embarrassment to the other
operators or newspapers on the circuit.
When he finally did leave, his absence
was hardly noted until the bulletin
was flashed over the wires announcing
his death.
James Igoe was undoubtedly a
brave man, but admiration of lis
bravery can not blind people To his
folly. To remain in that room when
all others had fed and when his re-
naming was utterly useless was a
foOlhardy proceeding, and as result

The circular issued by the Gulf,
Colorado & Santa Fe road requiring
employees to desist from making pres
ents to their superiors is a move in
the light direction and it would be
admirable for other roads 10 follow
the example set by the one mentioned.
There is no doubt whatever that
many an employe actually regrets the
money which he in a manner Is COM
PEELED to contribute for some osterta-
tious testimonial to a superior and
nine times in ten the superior who is
thus distinguished would much rather
have gone without such testimonial.
Usually it is some officIous ana med.
ding fellow who desires 20 curry favor
with his superior who advocates the
testimonial and who urges il upon his
fellows 10 contribute 10 such a way
that they will understand if they re-
fuse, their refusal will be Used against
them. Of course it is not by actual
force that an employe is made to con-
tribute, but any employe who has ever
had an experience il this direction
knows that there are other ways by
which be may be made to regret q
lack of generosity and often against
his better judgment he gives that
which could be better spent upon his
own family. There is no doubt bnt
that some railway officials with heads
swollen to an abnormal SIZE are ready
to receive any tribute which, amer ng
them prominently before the pubic,
but on the other hand the great ma
jority prefer nothing of the kind, aud
if notified in time would forbid any
outlay from among their employees IN
such cause. The Issuing of circu-
