WISE WORDS.

The noblcst mind the best ~contcntmcnt
has.
Guilt fills the air with visionary ter
rors.
Grief treads upon the heels Of plea
sure.
An enemy can always do you harm, but
a friend cannot always do you good.
Do not offend. Every offence a man
commits makes one more defense for his
enemy.
The worst passions arc occasionally OF
use to society; Jealousy has caused
thieves TO fall out and tell on each other.
Sense shines with a double luster when
it is set in humility. An able and vet
humble man is a jewel worth a kingdom.
They who are most weary Of life, and
yet the most unwilling to die, arc such
who have lived to no purpose; who have
rather breathed than lived.
There is nothing so elastic as the hu.
man mind. Like imprisoned steam, tho
more II is pressed the more il rises to re.
sist the pressure. The more we arc
'biiE'N W Wv nv lABlt VIC hIt ADlc 70
accomplish.
Oaths are vulgar, sensclcss, offensive
and impious they leave a noisome trail
upon the lips and a stamp Of odium upon
the soul. They are incxcusablc. The,
crafty no sense while they outrage taste
and dignity.
There is no %contendiug with necessity.
and we should be very tender how we
censure those that submittO IL. IT'S one
thing TO be at liberty 90 do what We 5aS.
and another thing to be tied up to dc
what we must.
Good nature gives n certain air to the
c-ountenanco which is more amiablc than
beauty. II shows virtue in the faircsi
light, takes of IN some mcaure from the
deformity Of vice, and makes even folly
and impertincncc supportable.
One watch set right will do to SET
many by, bH on the other hand, one
that goes wrong may be the cause Of mis-
leading n whole ncighborhood and the
same may be said of the example we ip
diyidually set 10 some around as.

The Earth IncreasIng in Size.

The earth, travelling i'm its orbit around
the sun, and onward with the entire So
lar system around some unknown and
still greater centre Of attraction, is con.
staDtly traversing new regions Of space.
which it depletes Of meteoric dust ano
meteorites, thus steadily-no matter how
slowly-iucreasing in diameter. Now let
this growth continue till the earth has
just twice the attractive power which il
now possesses we should then have twice
the number Of meteoritcs and double the
quantity Of dust falling annually upon It
Than now.
Fortunately for our heads the earth
has not as yet attained very formidable
dimensions, but we may look upon It as
AN established fact that 10 constantly
gains in weight and that In proportion to
such gain its attractive power steadily
increases.
The attracting force Of the sun is so
enormous that a perpetual hail OF meteor
ties and a torrent Of dust particles
must rush upon IL from ali direc
tions, and some Of the foremost obscr
vers arc now Of opinion that these falling
bodies are the sole cause Of the suns
heat.
in the light Of this theory, our earth is
= young and growing, not an old and dy.
ing planet, a planet with n future, which
ought to be cheerful news TO all Of ms.
although we shall not live 10 reap the
benefit Of 10; and the sun, far from being
on its last legs az an expiring luminary,

Richmond Starts a Movement Against
COlored Servants.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct 25-A movement has
been started here to do away with negro serv-
ants and substitute white servants. There are
few white domestic servants here, but it is pro-
posed to import them. An organization has
already been formed in a quiet way for this
purpose. A prominent citizen suggests that
public meeting be called in the next few DAYS
TO boom" the movement. wealthy broker
has published letter in which he says: 1.-THE
question, What shall we do with the negro? is
before the people today demanding an answer
more emphatic than ever before We must
deal with it and without further delay in some
positive way. Say what the sentimentaIists of
the north may the southern people have been
patient and forbearing long enough and to
stand longer in our own light is to be untrue to
our section and to those who are to follow in
our places. We have argued and pleaded with
these people only to receive their answer at
the polls: We are opposed to you and your
methods Freedom and education have re-
suited thus far in an increased percentage of
lunacy among the negroes never dreamed Of
while morally the race is drifting most rapidly
into condition simply deplorable and alarm
ing"
The writer then unfolds his plan of getting
rid Of the negro without violence by discon-
tinuing their employment and substituting
white help. There are 10000 white mechanics
in Richmond, but none of their children go
into service. 1t is proposed to induce Swiss,
German, Swedes and Irish to accept homes
here. similar movement was tried three or
four years ago, but it was not pushed and it
failed

The Charge of Withholding Azoque's
Pay Not Supported by the Evidence.

Mr.. Walker Blaine stated this morning that
so far as the records Of the State department
show the charge Of Ramon Azoque, ex-inter-
prefer at the United States consulate in Tan
giers, against Consul Lewis of withholding his
pay as interpreter is unfounded. The evidence
adduced in the case, Mr.. Blaine says, is that
when Mr.. Lewis was appointed in 1886 he en-
ployed Azoque, who is naturalized Moor, as
interpreter at a salary of $50 month for a
year. Azoque was attached to the consulate
until September 80, 1888, when he was dis
charged by Lewis. The vouchers on file
show that Azoque receipted for his money
up to that time. He remained about the con-
sulate eleven months longer, but Mr.. Lewis
asserts that he did so with the distinct under
standing that he would not be paid Any claim
that he may have against Lewis on account Of
salary, MIR. Blaine says, is purely private one.
The other charge made by Azoque against
the consul, viz, that he gave the interpreter
blank certificates of protection, telling him to
sell them and pocket the proceeds, has not yet
been brought to the attention of Mr.. Lewis,
Mr.. Blaine says, and, of course, there has been
no explanation of 1t made.

LEARNING THE ROPES.
Gen. Raum Making Himself Acquainted
with PensOn Office Methods.

Gen. Raum had a big pile of pension GER
tihcates on his desk today when q STAR re-
porter went into his Office. He was signing
his name. stopping occasionally to glance over
the certificate to see the amount Of the pension
which his signature with the countersign Of
the Secretary of the Interior would give to the
person named in the document There were
some four or five hundred certificates and Gen.
Raum said that he was signing them in order
that he might know something about this
branch of the work.
WANTS TO KNOW WHAT HE rs SIGNING.
1t has been customary for the commissioner
to have his name stamped on these certificates,
but Gen. Raum proposes for the present, at
least to have some knowledge Of what he is
signing. He said: II am gradually becoming
acquainted with the business Of the Office.
want to know just exactly how things are run
and then, perhaps, l may be able to suggest
something which will facilitate the work, and
especially the issue of pension certificates"
The commissioner devotes the portion Of the
day which he can spare from the routine work
and the callers to becoming familiar with the
methods of doing business. He hopes to be-
come fully initiated into the mysteries of pen
sions before long and then be will be able to
devote his attention to questions Of admins
tration.
SPECIAL CASE.
Today he made case special which was of
more than usual interest. 1t was that of lady
who was born under the administration of Gen
Washington and is now ninety-three years of
age. She is entitled to pension as widow of
soldier OF the war Of 1872 but has never
before made an application. The statement
OF the case was presented to Gen. Raum by her
son and the commissioner concluded that this
was case which might properly be made
special.
NOT AMBITIOUS TO GET ON THE PENSION LIST
HIMSELF.
The commissioner himself is entitled to a
pension. He is a wounded soldier of the late
war, but has never filed an application for a
pension. While his case would no doubt re-
ceive careful attention at present from the PEN
sion Office officials he has no idea of trying to
get place on the pension list.
Representatives Cannon and Hit were
among those who called on the commissioner
today. Ex-First Controller Lawrence also had q

JAY GOULD AND TRUSTS.

Enough for One Man to Handle.

interview yesterday regarding the railroad sit

There are some difficult problems involved
but all, rates are not as unsatisfactory this

newspapers. The proportion of tonnage to

so OF course rates not altogether satisfactory
but then they are not altogether bad"
do you think that the trust idea will be
