NEW BRIGHTON, S. l., March 10
Capt. Jacob Hank Vanderbilt. broth
er of the late Commodore Cornelius
Vanderbilt, died at bis home, on

tween New York, and ports on the
| Hudson, on Long Island sound and in

Obituary.,

Died, at her home in Salem, March
10th, 1898, of pneumonia, Mrs. Pauline
+. Kimmel, (nee RobertsOn) wife of
George w. Kimmel, aged 81 years, 8
months and q days. Nine weeks ago
she removed to Salem with her ailing
husband, that he could be nearer his
physician and she could live among
her children and enjoy their lives
more.
When sickness seized her body so
suddenly, it was hoped that it would
not be serious. Only six days of suf-
fering and she was called home, fully
prepared. She died as she had lived
a child of Christ. She leaves a SOr-
rowing husband, six devoted children,
and many relatives and friends to
mourn her death. But no reference
to our departed one would be complete
without allusion to her devotion to
her husband and children, never firing
to labor for and cheer her husband
now left desOlate; here where the kind
admonitiOns, advice and prayers in
faith, were daily poured forth for her
children, a welcome smile greeted
every visitor; and how her neighb0rS
will miss her, to whom she ever had
an open heart and hand.
May the Lord comfort the aching
hearts and lead the dear children to
Christ, and when they call mother, .
may the echo be, Il cannot come TO
you, but you can come to me-"
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. James Hall before q large
congregation of sorrowing relatives,
after which she was laid to rest by
loving hands in Pleasant Fork church
yard.
ga precious one from US has gone,

THE AIR-sH1P CAUSED IN.
Damaged Hen Fruit Was Flying in
the Air.

Prof. David, the lightning calcu-
lator man. was in bad luck Monday
night.
Saturday and Monday circulars
were scattered all over both towns
announcing that Maj. Homer Pinck-
ney, of Alabama, inventor of the Eth
eric Migratory A1r-Ship, would super
intend an exhibition of his revolution
in navigating the air. The exhibition
was to take place in the courthouse
square at 1880 p. M, the weather per
hitting. The latter being favorable,
a large crowd gathered in and around
the square to see the program. Sew
eral ladies turned out.
Time passed on, but the air-ship
failed to show up. Prof. David had
the crowd and he talked for his
'lightning calculator books with
great earneStneSS.
When questioned about the air-ship
exhibition the Professor claimed to
know nothing about the air-ship or
the circulars, further than seeing
some of the latter on the streets.
A crowd of boys, it seems, did not
believe the statement and they began
to plan how to get even with the
Professor for the trick he had played
on the crowd.
Soon there was a hub-bub in the
square; and damaged hen fruit was
the cause of it. Eggs were flying
thick and fast and it is needless to
say that the crowd was rapidly
diminished in size. The Professor
also soon caught on to the situation
and after a few brief statements he
''shut up shop for the night.
He went across the street and took
refuge in one of the stores IN the Hay
building. The crowd followed him
ano threw several eggs against the
store windows. The last action is
severely criticized by many. After
the Professor had closed his business,
it would have been more commend
able for the boys to have given him
''reSt."
One or two citizens took sides with
the Professor, but is is understood To-
day that they are now sorry for it.

MAJOR RAGLAND DEAD.
One of HaIifax's Most Prominent Git
zens Passes Away.

SOUTH Boston, Va, March 21.-
Major r. L. Ragland died at his home
near Hyco, in Halifax county, Sunday
morning at o'clock. He had been in
feeble health for some time, and his
death was not unexpected to his
friends and family.
Major Ragland had reached the
ripe age of seventy years. Many years
ago he began to cultivate and improve
the varieties of tobacco, and estab-
lished his celebrated Tobacco Seed
Farm, the reputation of whose seed for
purity and reliability have gained
high favor wherever the weed is
cultivated. In this he took great in
terest and spared no pains to bring it
to perfection. On all subjects, but es-
pecially on the subject of agriculture
he was a clear, strong fOrcible writer,
and his opinion carried great weight.
He was appointed to make the special
report on tobacco for the census OF
1880, and visited all the leading tobac-
co centres and made report that was
exhaustive on the subject.
He leaves a widow and an adopted
daughter. He was buried today at
Shady Grove church.

THE CROP OUTLOOK.
The Cold Weather Has Damaged the

Correspondence of The Sentinel.I
HULoN. n. c., March 20.-The cold
waves have been very hard on the
wheat and oats. For the time fyear
the farmers say their wheat is look
ing shabby. Some report the fruit
injured, but if there is no more cold
weather there will be plenty.
The farmers have sold nearly all of
their tobacco crop throughout this
section. Their faces have been a lit
tie long as to prices received. The
Republicans say now the Democrats
''are in" prices will be high.
The ''Dunkard" Synod will meet at
their church, Fraternity, on Friday
before The second Sunday in April. A
very large number of brethren" from
Virginia are expected to be present.
Seven darkies were baptized in Mud
dy Greek last Sunday. Their faith is
the Camelite, or Christian.
Several Of the farmers, while burn
ing brush and sedge fields, had the
misfortune of letting the fire get out.
Some little damage was done. Noah
Faw lost a number or panels of fence

AID vALOREM DUTIES.
MT. Sherman Says They Favor tn
Poor Man.
From the Baltimore sun.l

From tbs Baltimore SUM-
In his article on tariff reform Mr.
Sherman shows why adj valorem du-
ties are to be preferred to specific du-
ties on imports, as being more just in
their operation. The ad valorem duty
is per centage duty-a duty of so
much upon the dollar of value of the
imported article. whereas a specific
duty is duty of a certain number of
cents per yard or per pound. A duty
of 25 per cent ad yalorem on cloth
worth so much yard would work
thus: On cloth worth ST yard the du-
ty would be % cents yard. If the
cloth fell in price to 80 cents yard
the consumer would get the full bene-
fit of the fall, as the duty would then
be but 124 cents yard. If, on the
other hand, the price of the cloth went
up to 81 yard, the ad valorem tax
would amount to 80 cents. In word
the amount of the ad YalOrem tax va
ries with the value of the imported
article. The specific tax, on the other
hand. does not vary. A specific tax of
p cents a yard on cloth worth 81 a
yard remains % cents yard whether
the price falls to 10 cents yard or
up W - a y dIu uc
lords see their advantage in the spe-
ciffc tax. Nowadays, owing to i'm
proyements and inventions of all sorts
the price of articles manufactured
abroad is continually falling. A pocket
knife or pair of stockings selling at
80 cents today in Liverpool will per-
haps five years hence be selling at 40
cents, and ten years hence at 35 cents
or less. A specific tax of 20 cents per
knife, if fair at tOdays price Of the
article, becomes unfair and oppressive
when the price has fallen to 50 cents
The protection in the specific tax
increases, it will be. seen, as the price
falls abroad until it becomes perhaps
prohibitory. Various objections are
urged by protectionists against ad va
loren taxes, but they amount, as Mr..
Sherman shows, to nothing if the
motive of the lawmaker is to protect
the millions of the people instead of
the favored few.

AFTER THE STUFF"
The Crush of Applicants for Consul
ships That Pay Fat Salaries.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-There is
said to be an unprecedented crush of
applicants for the various consular
ships, and particularly those which
are reported to be desirable from a
financial point Of view. The best Of
these are Great Britain, where under
the operation of a peculiar law gov
erning the administration of oaths,
the consuls are enabled to retain the
greatest part of the fees received on
that account. That is what makes
London, Liverpool, Manchester, Brad
ford, Birmingham, Belfast, Glasgow
and several Others such highly attract
i've posts.
On the continent and indeed in all
other countries, these fees are part of
the receipts of the office, and almost
wholly 60 to the government. Paris,
for this reason, pays no less than $4,000
or S12, 600 per year, and it is the best
consulate on the continent, while
London is credited with being worth
four or five times as much.

Mr.. Moody was in two checks, one for

Hanna handed them to Mr.. Moody,
he glanced at them, and. then taking
his pen, wrote his name across the
back of one of the checks, and handed
it back to Mr.. Hanna, saying. "There's
my subscription to your Young Mems

and all began expressing their thanks
when suddenly Mr.. Hanna gave a
