rebeIlcd. We dill not see the tussle, but
learned that one of the officers was

this woman? She may be one of the

The policemen had respect for her
sex and did not strike her with their

The Asheville Citizen SAYS: Twelve
days from to-day
Then will occur the opening of the
state firemen's convention in Asheville-,
Wednesday, July 13, the second day of
the Gala Week.
And a great time it will be for the fire
men from all parts of the state. There
will be big crowd of them here, at least
100 delegates being expected, to say
nothing of the teams that will come
here to take part in the races and con-
test for prizes. Besides these, every
company will bring number of visitors
and Asheville will see such gather
ing of men and property savers as she
has never seen, and may never see again.
But about the preparations.
The Citizen had talk yesterday after
! noon with Fire Chief S. Powell, with re-
gard to grogress towards the reception
of the visitors.
"The committee" Chief Powell said,
"are all getting along very well. Those
who subscribed to the fund for price,
etc, are paying their subscriptions
promptly, as rule, and all is we'll along
that line,
"How about the late unpleasantness
in the firemen's ranks ?" he was asked.
THAT has all been settled" he replied.
There is no difference between the mem
bers of the department, and all of them
are working harmoniously together for
one common end-the making of the
tournament and convention thorough
success-and believe they will succeed
fully. The men have taken hold with a
will that shows determination to leave
nothing undone in showing the rest of
the State what Asheville can do when
she makes up her mind. 1t was at first
feared that the new hose company would
of it's recent formation. But the matter
has been arranged satisfactorily, and the
Asheville boys will be in the race by a
big majority-hose men and hook and
| idUUeI ucu
"The committee has received letters
from several companies in South Caro-
lima that desire to come here on this Oc-
casion if prize be offered for an inter
state contest. This is now being con-
sidered and | have no doubt the prize
will be offered 1t is a decidedly good
idea and will add to the interest Of the
program, as we'll as bring more people tC
Asheville.
"The races will take place on Mont
; ford avenue, on the level stretch of street
just opposite the park. The ground has
been rolled and will be in the best pos
shle condition for the event. You can
tell everybody that the Asheville fire de
partment is all righ, the people of Ashe
vile fire department is all right, the
people Of Ashevilie are all right, and we
will treat the visitors all right. The con
vention is Il go.'

The work Habit.

seWhy do you work so hard when you
already have more money than you can
spend?" a Brooklyn millionaire was
asked the other day.
s.Habit, / suppose" said the million
aire, as frankly as he had been ques-
toned. Then he leaned back in his
chair and thought. Finally he repeated,
with the air of man who had looked
over the ground and had come to con-
clusion: Eyes, it's nothing but habit,
but / can't conveniently break of
money-making now. Primarily we all
set out to make money for two reasons.
Firstly, we want to secure existence;
secondly, we desire to secure pleasures
and luxuries But while working for
these purposes men become acquainted
with great projects, and problems, and
schemes, and industries, and, if they are
earnest men who have more than sell
fish interest in the business world about
them, they soon become absorbed in
those things. don't think SO meanly
of our rich men as to imagine that they
cling to business on account of the
money it brings them, after they have
already acquired more money than they
could spend. But there is pleasure
and excitement in holding the rudder of
a great enterprise and sending it boldly
ahead in all kinds of weather. Does
the old sailor love the sea because of
the dollars he has made as wages or the
dollars he expects to make? Not he
He loves it because his life's work has
been identified with it. My work has
become my pleasure now, and I could
not bear to leave it long. This is like a
big machine here, and it is great and
constant pleasure to see how smoothly
it runs and to put my hand down and
adjust it when necessary"

Homicide Statistics.

The census bureau has issued . very
voluminous and important bulletin on
homicides. It appears that on june 1,
1890, there were in prison in the United
States 1851 persons detained on charges
of homicide. OF these 6,95s were men
and 30S women. OF the whole number
4,425 were whites and 1925 were
negroes. Now, when we consider that
of the entire population of the United
States 81, 9s3, $50 are whites and I, $780,
600 are negroes, the proportion of
blood-shedding negroes to whites
makes poor showing for the peace
able disposition of the colored people.
For, while the whites are seven times
as numerous as the negroes, white
homicides are less than twice as numer-
Gus as the negro shedders of blood. By
the same rule, if the whites were as
bloodthirsty as the negroes there would
be nearly 10000 white homicides in
stead of 4,4o5.
This the New Orleans Picayune re-
CARDS as very remarkable fact, but it
shows that the negroes have not yet
learned the self-control that should
characterize a civilized people: People
who undertake to- right their wrongs
by violent means either have little con-
fdence in the reliability of legal
methods, or, in obedience to. barbarian
instincts, they ignore them altogether.
The fact remains that while the
negroes in population are to the whites
in the proportion of to 81, negro man
slayers are to the whites in the pro-
portion of 81 to A. This astonishing
fact appears to be unassailable, and it
should silence the foolish sentimental
ism that seeks to place the American
negroes on higher plane of moral ex-
cellence than is held by the whites.

Points for Peach Growers.

Specialists Of the department Of ag-
riculture are reported to besmuch con-
cerned over the continued spread Of the
disease among the peach trees known
as the ''yeuows." The limited supply
Of peaches this year and their generally
inferior quality, except from few dis
tricts, into which the disease has not
yet spread, are attributed almost en-
tirely to this cause Prof. Edwin F.
Smith, of the agricultural department,
who has given much attention to this
subject, reports that the disease, which
was originally confined to a small dis
trict on the Atlantic coast, has now
spread so as to include the Delaware
and Chesapeake regions and the PENN
sula of Maryland. It is abundantly
established that it is contagious. It
has extended during the present
year as far south as southern Virginia
and probably as far west as Arkansas
and northeastern Texas. Peach grow
ers are earnestly advised to stamp out
the disease by the destruction of the
trees in which it appears Immediately
on its first manifestation, and are
warned against the importation of
trees from the infected districts. The
primary and peculiar symptoms of
peach yellows are only two. The red
spotting and abnormally early maturity
of the fruit, and the premature germi-
nation of ordinary winter buds, or of
obscure buds buried in the bark of the
trunk and limbs.

American Architecture.

A writer in Harper's Weekly men
tions the interesting fact that one Of
the early architects of our national cap
itol used bundle of stalks of corn in
the ear as a column in his designs for
that edifice. A correspondent calls at
tention to another instance of distinct
lively American design in our early
architecture, which is to be found in the
use by Thomas Jefferson of tobacco
leaves as a substitute for the leaves of
the acanthus in the capitals of the col
umns that support the noble porch of
the rotunda of the University of Vir-
ginia. It was characteristic of his Wig
orous, original and intensely American
mind that he should substitute for the
conventional acanthus leaves, which
had decorated the capitals of Corinthian
columns since the days of Hellenic
architecture, the leaves of the plant to
which, in his time, Virginia owed the
greater part of her wealth. The archi-
lecture of the University of Virginia
was under his personal supervision.
The plans were drawn in many in
stances by his own hand, and showed
the great attention to details that
marked all his efforts. The effect of his
bold experiment is not unpleasing; and
to this day the columns of the porch,
facing the beautiful vista of turf and
forest between the white arcades on
either side, bear witness to the patriot
ism of it's builder

One of Mulhattan'S.

The crop of snake stories for 1892 has
been good and full and has furnished
some striking examples of ingenuity in
the line Of fabrication, but the after
math bids fair to outweigh the first
fruits of the season. Here is one which
that Mulhattan has retired from bust
ness:
According to an exchange there
lives, or did quite recently, near Colum-
bia, S. c., woman afflicted in a man
ner that makes ones flesh creep to think
of it. For more than a third of a CEN
fury she has carried live snake under
the skin of one of her arms. How the
reptile first found Judgment in its queer
situation is as much of a puzzle to the
old lady as it is to the hundreds who
have visited her for the purpose of
viewing the long welt where the un-
welcome creature lies encysted. When
the lady first noticed the bow-shaped
ridge on her arm it was of about the
diameter of a pin and less than two
inches in length. During the many
years that it has safely nestled in her
flesh it has grown from mere thread
to snake a foot long and as large as
lead pencil The eyes Of the creature
are plainly visible through the skin,
and the scales can be felt by rubbing
the finger along the welt formed by its
body. Physicians pronounce it most
remarkab BILE freak, and have endeavored,
without success, to prevail upon the
old lady to have it removed.
