The Law of Progress.

Miss MARY A. RIPLEY SAYS in the
Cnlon Worker: "A good deal of use
less effort is expended in the attempt
to interpret the Fathers. Our political
progenitors had peculiar environ
ment, and they did the best thing pos
slble for them to DO under the circum-
stances. The Christian Fathers dealt
as wisely as they could with those
problems which are the abiding per-
plexity of every generation. But let
US not delude ourselves with the be-
lief that the Fathers in any line of
thought were endowed with unerring
wisdom; they could not foresee and
provide for all future emergencies.
Amended constitutions and progress
siye legislation attest the march of civ
llizatlon. There are impressive indi-
cations that new dispensation is
coming, and that the complete we'll
being OF man is I proper subject of
discussion anywhere and every
where-even in Senate halls and Rep
resentative chambers. The struggle
may be prolonged but no cloud of
doubt rests upon the issue. Finer gen.
erations demand finer institutions.
Moral advancement is one sure test
that the work Of nation is valid"

May Be President Some Day.

A good looking lady with pair of
seashore shoes on was crossing CITY
Hall park the other day with the
strings of one shoe Tipping and flop
ping about with every step she took.
She knew all about it, and she realized
that every man she met was looking
right at her foot, but she hadn't the
nerve to stop and tie the strings. The
situation caught the eye of small
bootblack who crossed her path, and
he did The right thing at the right time
and in the neatest manner. Running
up to her he dropped on his knees and
placed his box for her foot. She
placed it there and be gathered up the
strings, deftly tied them into double
bow knot. and dotted his cap and
bowed like little gentleman.
"You are the smartest boy in New
York !" she said, as she reached for
her purse. and the next instant he was
galloping down the walk shouting

The Dog Laughed.

The proprietor of Third Avenue

cultlvates a habit of squatting on its
launches, like a bear or kangaroo,
and then sparring with its forepaws as
If If had taken lessons from pugilist.
A gentleman took into the store the
other evening an enormous black dog,

tiny black kitten, instead of boiling at
once for shelter, retreated few PAGES.
sat erect on its hind legs, and "put its
fists in an attitude Of defiance. The
contrast in size between the two was
Intensely amusing. 1t reminded one
OF Jack the Giant Killer preparing to
demolish a giant.
Slowly and without a sign of excita-
bility the huge dog walked as far as
his chain would allow him, and gazed
intently at the kitten and its odd pos
ture. Then, as the comicalty Of the
situation struck him, he turned his
head and shoulders around to the spec
tators, aud if animal ever laughed in
the world that dog assuredly did so
then and there. He neither baIked
nor growled, but INDUCED in a low
chuckle, while eyes aud mouth beamed
with merriment.-New York Telegram.

For the Ellsworth American.
In Memory Of Mother.


BYL. A.Y.
Once again has come the reaper
To the circle, thinning fast,
And from hence has borne the mother,
To the mansions of the blest.
After long and patient suffering,
She at last has found sweet rest
With the dear ones, far out-numberng
Those she on this side has left.
Father. mother, brothers, sisters, children
dear,
She was called TO part with here,
While they, in that bright home above,
Waited long TO greet her there.
What's our loss we feel is gain
To her who's gone from us away,
And though the parting gives as pain,
We know with her It's well alway
We know her sutfeiings now are DER,
She's reached that home where all is
bright,
And though on earth We see no more
The form we loved, we know It's right.
Long, weary months of suffering here
Had she been called on to endure.
But with the Christians faith in PRAYER
She made the words of promise sure.
Yes, dear mother we shall miss thee.
When from time to time We meet,
But we hope in time TO greet you,
Where all is lovely pure and right,
Where there's parting never more,
here no sickness Ger can come.
When We tread that heavenly shore,
And our iabors here are done.

The Woman's Column. I
The Coming Woman.

The new order regarding the status
OF women in the Commonwealth not
only cometh, but already is And
though the Developments of every day
surprise Us, little study will show us
that they are really the gradual out
growth of what always was and was TO
be. We must remember that the nat
urai world is full OF changes so won
deftul that TO the savage they appear
miraculous. The metamorphoses Of
the seasons, the course OF stars and
planets, and in animate life the hatch
ing of the bird from the egg, the res
direction of the worm in the butter
tiy-all of these should prepare u to
expect and understand metamorphoscs
in the moral world. The woman Of
to-day who stands armed and equipped
With courage and with culture. who
Will resist wrong with more than mil
itary power, who applies herself with
steady nerves and clear head to the
solution Of the worlds problems this
woman Is the result Of much that has
gone before, of much, too. that is un-
like herself. The change. however. is
not against nature, but in accordance
with laws Of spiritual growth and prog
ress, which. indeed, were unknown to
past generations. but which will pres
emily become manifest and familiar
Many woman has, like Mary, hidden
IN her heart the secret of hopes which
seemed too great for life to realize. In
the long course of the ages. these seeds
of noble desire, ripening from time to
time, have come to ill the whole field
with ripe harvest. Woman, now is
your time. Remember. the crescent
which crowns Diana images also the
golden sickle of the reaper. In the
institutions which are coming, your
wheat will be bound with the preciou,
sheaves that nourish the mutitude-.
and the chat of the traditions which
have enslaved you will be burned with
unquenchable re.-Julia Ward How..

TROUBLE BREWING.
Members Of the Friendships
Reported for INSTRUMENTATION.

a small cloud, scarcely larger than
mans hand, was observed not long since
hovoring ovor the city fire department.
Its slzs has steadily increased aud it
has been doomed best for the fro board
to make an effort 10 remove it from their
horizon.
1t is charged that at the recent FIRE
at the Virginia Brewery N. j. Quinn
and William Murphy, members OF
Friendship Fire Company No. 8. we re
guilty OF INSTRUMENTATION. Charges have
been preferred against them, and on
Monday, April 4th, the fire board will
investigate them and apply the proper
remedy.
Section of an ordinance adopted by
the City Council for the government Of
the department. provides as follows:
The chief engineer, or in his absence
the assistant engineers, shall have con-
troll over the members Of the FIRE depart
ment while in service at fires, and may.
for insubordination. suspend any com.
pany from service for such period rs
may be deemed proper, subject to an ap-
peal by said company to the FIRE board"
Rule Of the rules OF the department
stipulates that there cannot be any ap-
peal from the orders Of the chief engi-
neer, except through the fire board, and
it must be done in writing within fifteen
days after occurrence.
Rule 13 requires the greatest degree
OF silence, consistent. with proper dis
charge of duties at fires, and declares
that boisterous conduct or noisy CONVEX
sation will be considered O breach of
discipline.
These rules were approved by tho fire
and water committee of the City Coun-
Gil and Thomas w. Miller, city solicit
tor.
The trouble with Quinn and Murphy
originated at the fire which destroyed
the main building of the Virginia Brew.
Ing Company. First Assistant Chief Ell :
gleby gave member of the Friendship
Fire Company an order, bnt he
refused to obey it, and it
is charged, indnlged in pro-
family. Mr.. Engleby did not know him
and applied to Thomas McNamara,
foreman o. tho company, for his name,
but was met with an absolute refusal to
disclose it.
An order which Murphy refused to
obey was given by Second Assista t
Chief McFall, the former replying that
he was not there to run errands, and in.
vited the assistant to perform 1t him
self.
The fro board is determined to en-
forco discipline in all the companies,
and If the accused are proven guilty
their dismissal will be asked for. II
this is refused, stronger measures will
no doubt be adopted and tho City Coun-
Gil asked to enforce them.

BOARD OF HEALTH.
Citizons Are Anxious Tint This Body be
Revived.

Citizens Are Anxious That This Body DO
Revived.
Notwithstanding Roanoke city boasts
population of %. 900 souls, she has no
board of health.
The last board was composed of Drs.
Tice, Morgan and Hodgson. Tho two
first named resigned several months
since, but the City Council has not
elected their successors. Spring, the
season OF tho year wi ich is generally
prolific in danger to health and sick
ness, is hero and the necessity for
cleansing up the streets. alleys and tho
back premises of residents is apparent.
but no steps have been taken in this
direction.
A representative of THE TINES talked
to many citizens Yesterday about the
sanitary situation in tho city. and with
one accord they depre Gated the fact that
Roanoke had no board of health, and
that the work of placing tho city in O
proper sanitary condition was likely to
DO delayed unnecessarily. City Solicitor
Miller said that at the last meeting OF
Council he suggested that the ordinance
committee of this body be instructed
to revise all of the city ordinances so as
charter, and that the revision should
embrace the board of health. DIR. Kirk,
president of the board of public works,
and former member of the board of
health. did not think any great amount
OF good could BIO accomplished by the
board unless it was given authority to
enforce its orders. Otherwise a sanitary
inspector could accomplish moro if he
would attend closely to his duties.
The hope was expressed yesterday.
thatCouncil will look after the necessity
OF electing full board, and in
augarating system of thorough cleans
ing of streets. etc at it's next meeting.
Delay means danger to health and life,
whereas prompt action will show
comoendable desire to promote the
best interests Of the city in preserving
the health of its inhabitants, and will
bear excellent fruit.
