WHY THE DETERMINATIONS

There was a funeral the other day in a
A pine box was hustled out of a squalid
shanty, packed out to the graveyard
without ceremony and dumped into a
grave. The earth was thrown in, the
grave digger went away, and there was
the eplogue of another human life. The
box contained the unadorned remains of
a poor, faded woman over whose dead
face there were none to mourn, whose
tangled hair there were no fingers to
smooth, whose slumbering eyes had closed
on a world that was all GOODNESS, all
blackness and all despair. What's the
use of telling the story? 1t has been
told so often, SO often in this poor world.
Would you believe it that her hollow
cheeks were but a few years ago radiant
with the bloom of health? Would you
believe it hat the matted gray hair was
once like a midst of gold floating in per-
fumed air? Would you believe it that
men thronged and cringed for a smile
from those dead, pallid lips? 1t is hard
to believe it, and yet it is all true. And
when the bloom was gone where were
they? Perhaps she wondered that while
she starved and worked and suffered :;
perhaps she thought it was hard that
even her brothers left her to die alone,
and that her father closed the door
against her.
But it's all over now, and the wind
can shrek and the clouds gather, and
her deaf ears and ~slumbering eyes see
not nor hear. And what is this process
sion coming towards US so gaily? Who
are they with outstretched arms? They
are Prodigal Sons, coming home from
the wallows where they cheWed the husks
and grovelled with the hogs. They are
coming home after years of revelry and
wickedness, coming with bleared eyes
and trembling limbs, to eat the fatted
calf and drink the ruby wine. There
will be JOY at their home tO-night-joy
and Thanksgiving that the wanderers
have returned and the lost are found.
Anthems will be sung by glad voices;
and, if the souls of the dead ever revisit
this world, perhaps the soul of the dead
woman in the pine box will heal the
anthems as they float out in the night,
and shudder.

The Durham Daily Globe.
BY AL ~FAIRBROTHER.
A CONFESSION.

THE GLOBE is printed every even
ing-Sunday excepted. 1t prints all
the local news it prints three col
umns of editorial slush daily. THE
GLOBE is independent-not neutral. 1t is
honest and fearless and fair. 1t recognizes no
faction, ring or clique. 1t talks politics when
IL feels like it, and will point out an abuse. no
matter in which party it may be
found 1t is not conceited, but ex-
poets to make enemies and it will
not be satisfied unless it does. 1t
will oppose Wrong and always ommend Right
with as much vigOr as it is able to M
THE GLOBE invites comparison with other pa
pers published in the South. It's religion is To
DO GOOD. It's politics is to Build
Up the South. THE GLOBE accords
to every living person the right to
an opinion, and will respect it, but
at the same time it demands the right to ex-
press it's own opirfion and does not care whether
it is respected or not. In the upbuilding of
Durham and in the fight for the New South,
THE TX will always be found
right. On other questions it will try
to be right, but being human may
err. 1t asks the patronage Of all
classes, and promises decent treatment to all
citizens who deserve decent treatment. 1t is
not muzzled. 1t is owned by the editor and he
will pay his bills. 1t is not a mendicant and is
not turning a hand organ labeled, Il
am blind" If you want it, we want
you to have it. If you don't want
it, you had better not take it. The
price is six dollars a y~ear-ffty cents per
month-and we want the cash in advance if
you have it with you.

TIE general opinion among those who
know that Durham is on the eve of a
great boom is that some dwelling houses
should be erected. The Building and
Loan association scheme meets with gen
eral approval. MR.. r. |. ROGERS says
that such an organization is just the
thing. Why do not some of the men
with idle capital meet and talk over the
ACCESSIBILITY of organizing such a COM
pany? In cities where they exist, they
have paid good money and at the same
time helped the poor man to a home at a
smaller cost than he could have gotten it
in any other way, Every hundred houses
built in Durham enhances the price of all
real estate. Let this matter be investi-
gated at once, as the demand for dwell
ing houses is pressing.

PLAYED WITH FIRE.
Two Little Children Set Fire to
q House on Pacific street.

A fire alarm was turned in at 10:45
this morning from the Sedalia Elec-
trio Light and Gas c,mpany's office,
informing the fire department of an
incipient confagration at the corner
of Pacific street and Moniteau avenue.
The fire laddies quickly responded
and found a double tenement frame
building in flames, the roof in the
west end of the building burning
fercely. A single line of hose was
all that was necessary to put out the
fire.
The building was owned by j. F.
M. Counce and insured for $500 in
the London Assurance company and
was damaged to an amount less than
fifty dollars. The house was occupied
by jess Jennings, whose loss on furni-
ture, with no insurance, will exceed
the damage on the house. The fire
in the kitchen and is sup
posed to have been started by Mrs.
Jennings little boy and girl, aged 5
and 3 years, who were left alone in
the room and were playing with the
fire in the stove.

to build five pairs of ordinary ladies

A REMARKABLE ESCAPE.
Brakeman Harris Recovering
From His Supposed Fatal
Injuries.

ID. p. Harris, the west end Missouri
Pacific brakeman, who met with what
was thought at the time to be fatal
injuries on Independence hill, Satur-
day morning, is getting along nicely
and there is no reason why he should
not be able to leave the hospital in a
few days.
Harris is perfectly rational but there
is an interval in his memory which he
can not ELL out. He remembers set
ting the brakes and nothing more
until he heard Conductor Bower
speak to him, at the time when he
was found near the Santa Fe bridge.
This leads to the conclusion that Har-
ris was looking towards the rear Of
the train at the time of the accident
aud was knocked off the top of
car by the Santa Fe bridge.
Conductor John Bower, of the west
end. accompanied by his brakemen
Winner and Armstrong, called upon
Harris yesterday and found him in
the best of spirits and as jovial as if
he had nothing more the matter with
him than q sore thumb. The house
surgeon informed Conductor Bower
that the particles of the fractured
skull had been removed and that the
wound would heal over nicely. and
Harris would be just as good a man as
ever inside of a mouth, unless some
thing unexpected should develop.
