The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1890-10-23

We have received marked copy
of The Topeka (Kansas) Capital, a
green eyed and CORY mouthed Radi-
cal sheet, which devotes almost its
entire editorial page to the abuse
and Misrepresentation of Col. Polk
and the Alliance. 1t says the Alli-
ance is Rebel scheme to disrupt
the Republican party, and, in Kan
sas, to defeat Senator Ingalls,. We
think the Kansasans would be far
better off if it succeeds in overcoIn-
ing the Ingalls, octopus in whose un-
relenting grasp they are struggling
to day. The Capital also takes oc-
casion to ridicule, vilify and slander
North Carolina. This comes in bad
taste from poor, bleeding, salivated
Kansas. We may not make SO much
corn, bat we burn wood, have
enough to eat, and sleep under {
plenty of cover.
The Capital should change i'll
name to The Capitalist, as it il
levidently a subsidized organ Of
that class. Doodle is the "sick'em'
that makes il bark.

$4,000 DAMAGES.
Against the Western Union Tele-
graph Company.

An opinion has just been handed
Gown, says the State Chronicle, by
the State Supreme court in which
$4,000 damages are awarded to j..
T. Young, ofCraven county, against
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany.
Last year Young's wife wds taken
very i'll in Columbia, S. G. Mr..
Young was at New Berne, in this
State, and his wife telegraphed him
that she was sick and requested him
to come to her at once. He did
not get the message until six days
later, and in the meantime Mrs.
Young died and was buried, Young
not knowing of either fact till all
was over.
Young at once brought suit for
damages in the Superior court and
won the case; but the Western
Union appealed and carried the
case to the Supreme court which has
just confirmed the opinion of the
court below.

Did the reader ever stop and con-
side: why such large per cent Of
anti monopoly papers are failure,
while so many that serve the in
terest5 of monopoly get rich. There
is but one cause: Monopoly sus.
tains its papers, and the people do
not fight them, and when the peo.
pie attempt to sustain anti-monopoly
papers monopoly fights them with
all its might and main. Therefore,
the only chance is for the people to
adopt their tactics, fight monopoly
papers, and sustain their own with
redoubled vigor.-National Econo-

ing that Vance was first nominated
for Governor at Peter Morris

After the muster, political meet
ing was held and Mr.. Neill A.
Cameron placed the name of Col.

you any Of Irving's works, having
given the few copies of that author
which Sherman's thieves and cut
throats did not steal from me in
April, 80 to the Clinton Literary
Association.
1t gives me pleasure to endorse
your views as to the character of
the literature that should be placed
in The hands of children, for the
heart and mind ale greatly infuen-
ced by what we read. Instead,
however, Of works Of fiction. with
which you seem inclined to furnish
him, / would most kindly, yet
earnestly. suggest History and the
Bible fer your son now. Let him
read and study both carefully fer a
few years, and then his taste for
light reading may be indulged with
beneficial results. But, be careful
that he reads only the works of
chaste, classic authors,--as Scott,
Dickens, Thackeray, Bulwer and
Disraeli, not forgetting our own
American Cooper, Irving, Haw-
thorne and Poe If had boy would
rather he would read Scott first, for
l regard him as the brightest, most
penetrating and withal kindliest
genius that the world has produced
in two hundred years. His writings
have charmed and lifted up the

wider view of the world of truth
and beauty springing above, be-
Ond and around Us. No man ever
did more for English literature
than "The Great Wizard Of the
North" Over the mighty flood of
popular sensuous sensational litera-
tuIe, he shows star of purest ray
serene, pointing to the highest iIea!s
of human attainment.
When your son has finished Scott,
then give him the other authors
named above, and in the order in
which they are designated, and
when he has read all these he will
have no taste for what classic Doc
tor Kingsbury, of the Wilmington
Messenger (than whom no North
Carolinian has done greater service
for pure literature properly charac-
terizes as the "fiashy and filthy
literature of the day, that is doing
more than everything else to cor
rupt the youth Of America.
I find that / have written tC
greater length than / intended, but
hoping that you may accept the
crude suggestions above in thespirit
in which they have been indited

Wearing False Necks.

aThe use of the false neck is more
common than one would naturally sup
pose" writes Lucy Hooper from Paris.
1t is worn by ladies who are too thin to
look we'll with their necks entirely un-
covered, and also by those who have
delicate lungs and so are forced to keep
the bust and throat thoroughly pro-
tected from the cold.
II once saw one of these false necks
worn by a Partisan belle who had. just
recovered from severe attack of infam-
nation of the lungs The dress was cut
square in front, the opening (which was
very wide) being only filed in with
single thickness Of tulle, slightly frilled
and met at the top by collar necklace
Of pearls fitting closely around the
throat. Under this slight yelling Of
tulle there was visible what was appa-
rently the rose-tinted flesh Of the fair
wearer.
@But I noticed that after she had in
dulged in dance and came painting
back to her seat, that part of her chest
which was shown by the square opening
of her dress never moved; it was not
stirred in the least by her quickets
breathing. My notice was attracted to
this phenomenon. and on looking closely
I could see how the thing was managed.
The false neck was in wax, fitting
closely to the breast and met at the
throat by the collar of pearls. Sheets Of
fesh-tinted wax slightly softened in
warm water to render them pliable are
moulded on the wearer's chest and
shoulders by skillful fingers SO cleverly
that it is almost impossible to detect the
deception of the handiwork.
1t is said that twenty-five dollars is
the charge Of such beautifying. The
princess Of Wales is reported to use one

A goUNG man who possessed knowl-

years ago to be in the northern penin-

served that the Portage River and Lake
Linden were of a copper color, and,
whenhe asked the cause. was told that
it was copper that had escaped from the
smelling and stamping mills of the
Calumet and Hecla mines. The young
man donned his thinking cap, and then
requested the company to allow him to
experiment with view of saving this
copper. The company was only too
glad to offer facilities. So the young
man gave up his summer vacation and
set to work, and was able to devise a
method by which about per cent. of
the copper mined was saved, and al
most pure copper, too. The young
professor no longer earns trifing sal
ary, but has acquired a comfortable in

years agoa mechanic. riding in rail-
way train, was jolted and Jared as in
early days of hallway travel passengers

fume as the other passengers did, but
began to study and experiment with a
view to making spring that would
reduce jolting to a minimum. He at
last succeeded, and his spring was
adopted by every railroad in the coun-
try. He is no longer poor mechanic.
