SOMEBODY has been figuring up
the losses that have been incurred
by the shrinkage in the value of
stocks. They foot up $2eO,OOO,OOO
estimating only thirty leading
stocks. What they would be were
all the securities OF this country
considered can only be copjectured.
Perhaps S5OO,OoO,OOO would not be
far wrong. AS the Baltimore Sun
says, "this is 80 much credit gone. "
So much loss sustained by the hold
ers of these securities In addition
the banks of Australia have broken,
entailing fearful losses. The liabili-
ties OF thirteen of them footed up the
enormous sum of $35O,OOO.OOO. All
OF this comes from the want of an
adequate supply of cash. If cur
rency were obtainable in sufficient
quantities these losses would have
been prevented. There is every
thing in the situation all over the
world to require an increase of the
circulating medium, and this is es-
pecially 80 in the United States.
All OF the ruin and disaster that
follow the decline in values noted
above should be charged against
those who deny to the people ample
financial facilities.

EDITOR MYRIcK says that if he had
known that the President would
have settled old scores in the way
he does, he would have allowed
some other man to have been the
object lesson, This seems to mean
that he would not have applied had
he thought he was going to be
turned down. We suppose not.
But what kind OF q man does he

THE BODY DIsENrOMBED.

suspicion About the Death Of r. T.
Rycroft, of Granville.
Durham Sun.
News came to Durham last even
ing from Granville county that may
yet terminate in very sensational
case.
On the 9th of this month Ruffin
L. Rycroft, doing business at Viii
kins, and living in Dutchville town
ship in that county, died, and i, is
SAID very suddenly. The cause of
his death is not given. But there
was great deal of suspicious talk
in the neighborhood. On Tuesday
last a coroner's jury was summoned
and his body was disentombed and
a post-mortem examination made
The stomach was sent to Raleigh to
be analysed to see if there is any
evidence of poison The tenor Of
the talk is that there is SUSPICION Of
his being foully dealt with, but the
1acts have not yet been brought
OUT and it is further told us that
ms m wife is the suspected rarty.
What will be the result of the in
vesugatlon is hard to determine ct
this writing.
1t will be remembered that Mr.
kycroft, on the Goth of January
!oS1' was married in this place in
Jones and Lyons store, to Mrs
Birdie Oakley, Squire III A Angler
performing the ceremony. He was
seventy years old at that time and
his wife gave he1 age at fifty wears.

Latest advices from Brazil state that
been loyal to President Peixotos govern
ment has joined the insurgents, and that
more of the troops are likely to follow. If
the movement should become general it
would indicate speedy end of the revolu-
ton and the triumph Of Rear Admiral
Mello.
The whole trouble in Brazil is largely due
to the jealousy and rivalry which exist be-
tween the Brazilian army and navy. This
Is traditional deep-seated and of very long
standing. From the time that Brazil had
important factors in politics. For a long
time the monarchy played one against the
other, but finally they joined hands to over
throw the imperial Ministry, and it went
down. The overthrow of the monarchy was
the work of the army and navy, not Of the
people The people were not in that move
ment at all. Neither did they have any
hand in the proclamation of the republic,
That also was the work of the army and
navy, and from all accounts it was en-
tirely an afterthought. The republic had
hardly been established before the old jeal-
ousy between the army and navy began to
show itself, and factioral intrigues became
the order of the day. They have continued
under different phases and leaders from
that time to the present. The conflict has
now assumed the form Of personal strug-
gle between President Peixoto and Rear
Admiral Melo. Heretofore the former has
been supported by the army, while Admiral
Mello controlled the navy. Peixoto is
also supported by a large majority of both
houses Of Congress, by the leaders and
strong men of the Republican party and
many old Conservatives. But if the army
should unite with the navy In support of
Admiral Mello, Peixoto would probably be
forced to yield. This would probably be
disastrous to Brazil. Circums stances have
made Peixoto the leader of the republican
cause and the representative of the better
class of Brazilian people. He is also the
true representative of constitutional gov
eminent, and so far as there is any room
for sympathy between the rival leaders
and factions, Americans should sympa-
thize with Peixoto.

IyGERSOLLISN.

Quite large number of people in this
CITY paid money to hear Col. Robert G..
Ingersoll lecture, few nights age, as great
numbers of people in other cities have
done before and will probably do again.
Colonel Ingersoll understands the public as
well as the late Mr.. Barnum did, and works
it quite as successfully and profitably. 1t
would not be strictly true to say that he
goes about the country obtaining money
under false pretenses. because he simply
announces that he will lecture and people
go to hear him. But he gives the people
nothing of any value in return for their
money. He is not profound student nor
a deep or original thinker. All that he has
to say against the Christian religion has
been far more forcibly said by others than
by him, and has been answered a thou
sand times. His dogmatic assertions his
anecdotes, his epigrams and his verbal
pyrotechnics are as stale as the jokes Of a
clown in the ring. His arguments begin
nowhere and end nowhere, his smooth,
velvety sentences mean nothing, his fine
words are as sounding brass or a tinkling
cymbal.
There are Anarchists and Anarchists.
Some men would destroy all government
and substitute chaos, while others would
destroy 81 religion and substitute the
blackness of darkness. Colonel Ingersoll is
a religious Anarchist, moral destruction
list. He would destroy God and religion
without putting anything in their place.
He asks people to throw away their yearn-
ing faith in something higher than them
selves and something better than this life,
and what does he offer them instead ?
Nothing but negations and sneers, empty
shells and husks. No money Is so poorly
invested as that which people pay a re-
ligious Anarchist for trying to convince
them that they ought to exchange even a
weak faith for none at all, and become as
the beasts of the field that perish.

NOT POPULAR WITH WOMEN.

One of the literary and pictorial maya
zines is publishing series of what it calls
human documents" these being portraits
of distinguished individuals taken at differ
ent periods of their lives. A number of
celebrities have appeared In the list, but
with one exception all of them are men.
But one woman has been found with so
little vanity to be willing to exhibit the
pictures of herself taken in her earlier
years. Lack of vanity is not necessarily
implied on the part of the men who turn
over their boyhood daguerreotypes and
faded photographs to the illustrator. The
masculine garb ia such fixed quantity
that it's general style does not greatly
change from one generation to another.
Collars may turn down or be of the stand
ing variety, neckties be small or large and
flowing, trousers be narrow or wide, but
the differences are not enough in them
selves to make the wearers ridiculous,
and the self-complacency Of the average
man is apt to be sufficient to overcome any
doubts as TO the engagingpess Of his form
and face in their immature stages. AT all
events. the magazine people seem to have
had no trouble in securing portraits of
prominent men, but, as stated above, only
one woman has so far consented to the
sacrifice. Miss Frances willard is present

this is not sure to be the case with every
woman, it seems likely that human doc
uments in feminine type will not be nu-
merous in the list. At all events, the queer

ago will. in most cases, be retained for
home entertainment exclusively. Few

The national saddiery convention, COM
posed OF representatives Of all the large
saddle and harness houses of the country.
will meet in st. Louis this week. The sad
die and harness trade Of st. Louis dates
back almost to the beginning Of the century.
AS soon as that city came into the possession
of the United States by the purchase of
Louisiana in 1903 it became the QUILTING
post for overland trains TO Oregon. This
was before the time OF steamboats,. Even
after Council Bluffs, Independence, Leav-
enworth and Kansas City became starting
points for expeditions across the plains,
the Quitting was still DONE for the most
part, In ST. Louis. The wagons, harness
and saddles needed for the trip were made
and most of the provisions and other sup
plies were purchased there. The trade then
established has since grown into vast pro-
portions.
