BIOURNS.

In the wild enthusiasm and noisy dem
onstrations consequent upon democ-
racy's grand victory, the city of Raleigh
has no part. For overshadowing the
glory of a great political triumph is a
greater sorrow and a common loss in
which the ballot box cuts no figure.
DONALD Balm is dead.
And in his death Raleigh loses one of
her best and most useful citizens; the
state a loyal son, and the public a true
and faithful servant.
DONALD w. Balm was a native of Raj
Ugh, where he has always resided. He
was born April 2, 1841, and entered the
service of the state just before the late
war, as a clerk in the Office of the comp
~troller, and in 1865 became chief clerk
Of the treasury department, by appoint
ment of the Hon. JONATHAN WORTH,
then provisional treasurer. He received
the nomination for state treasurer at the
democratic conventions of 1884 and 1888,
the latter time by reclamation and with
out opposition. He was closing his
second term and had just been elected to
a third. Mr.. Balm had perhaps as large
a personal and political acquin-
lance in the state as any other man
in it, and he ought to have been proud of
such a record as he has always had for
integrity and faithfulness to his state and
it's people. His successful administra-
ton of the affairs of the treasury has
full business man. Besides his position
as state treasurer, he has been since Feb
ruary, 1867, the grand secretary Of the
grand lodge of Masons of North Caro-
lima. The great length Of his stay in that
position of honor and trust is another
proof Of the high place he held in public
regard. He was also prominent in the
state and general councils Of his church,
the Methodist Episcopal. Since 1883 he
had been secretary of the North Carolina
annual conference, and twice, in 1886
and 1890, been one of its representatives
at the great meetings Of the general con-
ference. He was also a member Of that
other powerful benevolent order, the
Odd Fellows. In the various intricate
duties connected with the Office of state
treasurer, Mr.. BANS long and thorough
knowledge of public affairs has proved of
special value, enabling him to do many
things which have Injured to the states
advantage.
To the call Of charity his ears were
ever open and the poor had always in
him a friend. In private as in public
life he never forgot the smaller duties
which form so large a part of everyday
existence, and in the fulfllment of which
he experienced a greater satisfaction
than the glory of political honors or the
pleasures of gratified ambition.
DONALD w. Balm was an honest man,
and as such his name will go down to
history. AS a man and as an official his
record is clear, and his career forms one
of those rare examples of political purity
and answering fidelity.
The city of Raleigh may we'll mourn,
and in her sorrow the Old North State
mingles tears of genuine sympathy.

must at once assume the duties and re-
sponsibilities of the much lamented Balm.
1t will be less difficult TO fill his place in
the t~reasurer's office than in the hearts of
North C~arolinians.

AT RANDOM.

In ye good old days of homely ways,
When a boy to school did go,
Twas then for training OF the head
But now It's for the toe.
Twas then tie fellow who could work
The hardest sum that won,
But now it is the highest kick
And most successful run.
1t seems to me a little queer,
How things have changed since then,
But education's made a leap
And students now are men.
The above thoughts are submitted by Colo
NEL. WASH DUKE, who says that he cannot
kick a football over Trinity college without
feeling %fatigued, and be seized with a shaking
ague at the sight of an axe or a Dixie pillow.
COLONEL DUKE is of the opinion that young
men who yearn after muscular development
could gain the desired object in some more
profitable employment than playing football.
But then, says UNCLE WASH, what's the use
for one old common sense man to kick against
the universe.
And THE GLOBE repeats, dear, dissatisfied
fellow-countrymen, what's the use?
COLONEL w. B.. MATTHEWS says that in a
majority of cases. the fellow who wishes you
the greatest success in your business is the
fellow who owes you a bill of two years
standing and refuses to whack.

OUR WATER SUPPLY.
The Advance Club Will Distribute
Mans of the Water Shed.

The Advance Club held business
meeting last night over which President
David NJ. Thompson presided. Routine
business principally was transacted and
an informal discussion of the need of a
new and imposing state house revealed
the fact that the members were unani-
mously in favor of replacing the anti
quated structure on North Main street
with a substantial and imposing state
house creditable alike to the city and the
State.
The committee on the water supply re-
ported and was continued. IL is now en-
gagged in preparing an elaborate map OF
the water shed-a work of considerable
magnitude Many copies OF the map will
be printed for free distribution among
the citizens OF RHODE ISLAND.
IL is thought tnat the committee will
be ready to report before the date OF the
next regular meeting and a ecial meet
ing will probably be called. The attend
ance of members last night was excep-
tionally large. During the winter other
live topics will be presented and thor
oughly discussed.

THE SYKES BLOCK SYSTEM.
Towers Now Being Erected Between
New Haven and New London.

The Sykes block system of signalling
now being put In on the New York, New
Haven and Hartford division OF the Shore
Line to New York is the most perfect sys-
tenn OF the kind In use.
This system consists OF series OF
towers at stated intervals along the road,
the distance between them varying to con-
form with the requirements OF certain
sections of the road. but generally being
about mile apart
The distance between two towers Is
termed block" a1d each tower con-
tains n telegraph operator and signal.
The peculiar feature of this system Is the
perfect electrical automatic connection
between the towers, which makes IL i'm
possible for train TO enter block until
the block is clear
AS long as there is n train in the block,
the signal cannot, through a misunder-
standing or otherwise. be turned TO allow
another train to pass, and not until the
first train has passed the next tower. ana
out OF the BLOCK can the signal be turned.
This system has been in operation on
this line between New Haven aud New
York for five or six years, and tue work
of putting il in between New Haven and
New London Is now under way, and will
probably be completed by January.
Its advantages over the old system on
the Pennsylvania railroad can readily he
seen, as in that system there was no such
automatic connection between the tow
ers, and the effectiveness OF the system
depended upon the operators efficiency.

What There IL I'm the Market to Eat and
What 1t Costs.
The following facts and figures are of
interest to the busy housewife: Poultry
is quite plentiful for the season and has
Just begun TO come in. Chickens sell
from 1917 l21S To 225e.- -pound-and turkeys
from IL Co Soc. a pound. Ducks are fairly

is abundant, this being especially true of
quails and partridges. Quails sell for
s.. 80 to SO per dozen, and partridges and
grouse for 81 to Sl.50 per pair. Wood
cocks, being rather scarce, demand
good price, selling at 40 to soc. apiece.
Beef has been extremely low for the
past two or three months, in fact lower
than for many years but the tendency
has been upwards for the past two or
three weeks. and decidedly so for the past
few days. Lamb is plentiful and sells at
reasonable prices. Veal is scarce and
high.
Cranberres sell for Sc to So per barrel
and retail at 10 cents a quart. Celery Is
very abundant and sells at to 20 cents
per bunch. Chicory, Okras aud BRUSSELS
sprouts are in the market. Egg plants
are scarce, but oyster plants may be
easily obtained. Green peas, butter beans
and string beans are exceptionally
abundant and cheap for the season OF the
year. The ounce crop was never better
aud consequently the price is reasonable.
Butter is great deal firmer than IL
was two weeks ago and is getting short.
Imitation creamery and dairy butter sells
for 20 and % cents pound better grades
OF dairy and creamery butter for % to
80 cents and the best brands of creamery
butter for 80 and 33 cents. There is but
little cheap butter on the market and so
cooking butter is hard to obtain.
Cheese is quite firm at IA and Is cents
per pound. The stock of eggs is nice.
Western eggs sell for 25 cents dozen,
RHODE ISLAND eggs for 35 TO 40 cents and
New Hampshire and Vermont eggs for
25 TO 80 cents.
There seems to be great rariety Of fish

been limited. Cod and haddock are
quoted at 4 TO 6 cents per pound. Mack
erel is quite abundant for the season at
TO 10 cents each. Bluefish is very cheap
at s to 10 cents u pound.

The BIcycIe for Police.

The bicycle has for so long been adapted
to military operations that il is some-
what surprising the idea of utilizing it
for the greater celebrity Of police locomo-
tion in urgent cases has not been carried
out. This has, however, now been done,
and n Marshal In New Jersey town 10
busily engaged in experimenting tho
course OF bicycle instruction which the
roundsmen and sergeants OF the local
police force are undergoing. The men
are becoming rapidly proficient in
the use of the safety bicycle; but the
station equipment is to include number
OF tandems. The innovation IL not
popular throughout the force as the
roundsmen, whose territory includes
several widely separated posts, are to be
mounted on these silent steeds, and will
be able to approach n patrolman with
possibly unwelcome suddenness. InNases
OF outbreak OF disturbances in distant
parts OF the city the tandem will be used,
and on each machine two policemen will
rapidly propel themselves TO the scene OF
action. The wheels are painted a bright
red, and q heavy penalty will be inflicted
for interference with the machine by any
unauthorized person. This is such a
sensible adoption OF the cycle that IL is
certain to extend, and there is no good
reason why country roads should not be
turned TO account for catching thieves a.
for record breaking by bicyclists.
