The Value of Social influence.

A few days ago the domestic intellect
ties of naval officer and his wife be
came known to the public. Since that
time the husband has appealed to the
courts for legal separation.
1t SO happens, however, that, contra
ry to the usual methods of procedure,
the Judge of the court and it's clerk have
enGered into an agreement between
themselves and the parties interested
to suppress the papers in the case. The
judge insists that he has a legal right
thus to stand between the litigating
parties and further publicity, and red
ores that should be open to the lightaof
day are spirited away into hiding.
While the Judge and his clerk may be
and doubtless are actuated by the best
of motives, it is very general opinion
that they have overstepped the bounds
of propriety. More than this, it is an un-
just discrimination against other men
who may be unfortunate enough to be
compelled to seek relief from domestic
nnhappines in the courts. Plain John
Jones or the heart>broken Mrs. Smith,
having no friends at court, are compelled
to stand in the public gaze, with all their
misf)rtunes as q matter of current Cos
sip.
1t is a great thing to have social in
fiuence in Washington Al Wash Post.

The Hot Springs to be Made Great
Sanitarium

The Hot Springs of Virginia are des
tined to become the Axle Bains of the
South next summer, and as a sanitarlum
and pleasure resort this watering-place
will stand among the foremost in the
State Since the completion of the
branch line of the Chesapeake and Ohio
road, which runs from CovingtOn to the
Springs, the facilities for reaching that
resort have been greatly increased and
the place has been considerably improv>
ed in every respect. The Chesapeake
and Ohio railway is a large stakeholder
in the Springs, and in addition to this
several of the leading capitalists OF New
York and the Old Dominion have thou
sands of dollars invested in the scheme.
Among the firms and persons holding
shares are Morton, Bliss & Co., Drexel,
Morgan & Co., Brown Brothers & Co.,
William K. Vanderbilt, Abram s. Hew-
lit, ex-Mayor of New York. and M. E. In
gals. The latter has 100000 worth of
stock.
A few days ago Mr.. Decatur Axtell one
OF the vlcc-presldents OF the chesapeake
and Ohio, awarded contracts for cot
tagss and buildings to be erected at the
Springs, which will increase its capacity
to accommodate guests by $50 rooms.
Altogether 100000 worth of work will be
done in addition to the improvements
just completed or now in progress. Sew
eraI prominent railroad men, and others
in addition to this, will erect private
cottages. Among these are Mr. ingalls,.
and Mr.. E. F. Osbourne. The latter is
secretary of the big Four" Railroad.
The work of improvement will be COM
pleted by next June, and as the firms
and capitalists interested in the Springs
are men of national reputation the sea-
will open with large crowd of guests
a brilliant display.

Death Of Mrs. Harrison.

Mrs Caroline Scott Harrison, the de-
voted wife of President Benjamin
Harrison, died at the White House at
1.4O Tuesday morning last, after lin
gering Illness of consumption.
Mrs. Harrison met death with the pa
thence and resignation of q devout chris>
tian, and her last days were compares
lively free from pain. For twenty-four
hours the President and family had
been almost constantly at her bedside
awaiting the end.
The funeral will take place at the
former home of the deceased, Indianap-
oils, Ind, to-day (Thursday). Funeral
services were held at the White House,
Wednesday.

Death Of Mrs. Harrison

In the presence of death political an
tagonisms are forgotten, and men and
women of every section and every creed
will unite in heartfelt sympathy with
the President and his family in the sor-
row which has come upon them. They
will think of him not SO much as the
Chief Executive of the nation as a. fell
low-iiortal whose heart has been bowed
down by the keenest of earthly bereave-
ments-the loss of a loving and loyal
wife. Every husband who knows how
to estimate at its real value the devotion
of true womans heart will feel for Mr..
Harrison in his hour of deep distress.
All that is best in human nature is de-
veloped by that highest and hottest of
earthly ties, and when, after long years
of mutual affection and self-sacrifice, the
bond is broken by death, be it never SO
gently, and the survivor, worn and wea-
nv, with the conflicts of life, stands be-
reft at the parting of the ways, there is
a pathos in his loneliness and desolation
too strong for words, too sacred for in
trusion. Mrs. Harrison was in every
way worthy Of the love of her family
and the respect of her country. A gem
uine American in her practical sense
and strong individuality, she never lost
her self-poise or simplicity of character
amid the social conventionalities and
display of the position in which she was
placed by her husbands elevation to the
presidency She discharged her duties
to society faithfully and unaffectedly,
but they never usnrped in her heart
the place of those domestic virtues
which are a woman's brightest jewels.
Her loss adds another to the list of at
flictions that have fallen upon the fam
lilies of members of the present adminis>
tration at Washington. Ex-Secretary
Blaine has suffered the loss of two OF his
sons. Secretary Tracy's wife was burn
ed to death in the Secretarys house in
Washington. Secretary Window fell
dead at a banquet in New York. And
now death has entered the White House
itself and taken from the President his
wisest and dearest counsellor, the com.
panion of his youth and his age, the
nearest, best and tenderest of friends

Humanity Among the Nations.

Among the various congresses when
have been suggested in connection with
the gathering of the nations at the Col
umbian Exposition none would have
more practical and farther-reachlng
influence than that urged by George L.
Angel, president of the American HUI
name Education Society. He has COM
municated with many men of prominence
seeking their aid in establishing an in
ternational humane congress to discuss
the best method of adding to the CIVIL
cation of the world greater develope-
ment of humanity toward men and
animals.
That in the rush for advancement this
noble object is frequently lost slght OF
cannot be doubted. The devil-take-the-
hindmost policy is not confined to any
country whenever the pressure OF clvlll-
cation is favorable to its Development.
Evidences of it between individuals or
between individuals and the beasts
which minister to them, between labor
and capital, and between sections of a
common country are but magnitied when
international field is entered, and even
schemes to overcome natural or artificial
barriers between nations which may be
born of the most humane craftsmanship
cannot easily be freed from the inherit
ance of the ages. Reciprocity has the
sting of retaliation 10 its tail, and arbi-
tration seems best secured when backed
by ornaments, while peace is too fire.
quently only an armed truce.
No country is better qualified than
America to be the neutral ground where
the representatives of the humanity OF
! the several nations may freely deal with
the problems besetting those who would
see an end of war and of conflicts be-
tween employer and employe and the
growth of a proper regard by individuals
for the rights of others. Akin to this
movement is that which may perhaps
be best described as the cultivation OF
that mercy which the Merciful man
| shows to his beast.
To aid toward these results is the pur
pose contemplated by Mr.. Angel In
organizing the humane congress. The
discovery of America was sort of vent
| for the turbulent spirits of Europe, but
the crowding of the earth is felt more
and more each year, and should the as
sembling of the nations in honor Of
/ Columbus achievement result only in q
better understanding among them and
| in an impetus to the spirit of mutual
concession, it will not have been in vain

A Heavy Contra It.

Captain q. G.. Gooch, the well>known
contractor of this city, has secured the
contract for double-tracking the Chesa-
peake and Ohio road between Backbone
and Moore's Tunnel, west of here, and
will begin work next Monday with a
force of 100 men. Although not long
stretch of track the contract covers some
of the most rugged country in this sec
ton and the work of excavations and
grading will be very heavy. Even with
this large force several months will be
required to complete the job.-Stoata1ton

The Convict Problem in the South.
Alabama is one of the first States in
the South to grapple with the convict
problem. What the problem is and
some of the requirements necessary to
it's solution were suggested in the recent
uprising in Tennessee. Convicts in the
South are frequently not housed in pris-
~ as in the North, but are kept in va
r.ous parts of the State in small squads
10 work in the mines, in lumber camps
or on plantations.
The people of Alabama have determin-
ed to take the convicts out of the mines
and to adopt new system with refers
ence to their management. To this end
a State Board of Prisons has been con
stitutsd, and authority lodged in it to
work out system of prison discipline
which shall meet the requirements of
IN ,dern usage in this important branch
of State government The board in
question has power to build such prisons
MS are necessary for the proper housing
of criminals, and to erect workingshops
for their employment in such trades as
may be thought best. The act of the
legislature constituting the board sims
,.iy defines that criminals shall be EN-
ployed hereafter in shops on 'spiece
work.
This is an important reform for the
State of Alabama, and no less important
for Tennessee and other States which
still support the lease system and the
both of which have long out>
grown their usefulness in the Southern
States. With the adoption of such reg>
ulations as are about to be carried into I
effect in Alabama the horrors of the |
Tennessee miners war and the sufferings
which are sometimes reported some ire
sponsible officers placed in charge of
chain-gang will be impossible. The
step about to be taken is directly in the
interests of the humanitarian treat
ment of the state prisoners. /,

The occasion of the judges charge was
primarily 10 define the crime of treason
against the State for the benefit of the
grand jury before whom the case of the
Homestead strikes who are charged with
this crime will come. incidentally,
however, the relative rights of labor,
employers and the State in the presence
of labor troubles were very clearly detin>
ed There has been no little discussion as
to the rights of employer and employed
in strikes, but that the state had rights as
well and that bosh must proceed in view
of these rights which were paramount,
has either been ignored or forgotten,
usually the former, and strikes have been
conducted as though employer and EN-
ployed were the only ones that had any
part in the struggle or any right to in-
terfere no matter what was done. This
is really the reason why the law is SO
frequently violated in labor contests.
