Original Theory of Education.

Count dc Lcsscps has always had the
ories on the education of children. Part
of his success in the Sucz canal was due
to the help of Abbas Pasha, who had
been pupil of the count. Abbas was
very fat and luxury-loving boy, but
with moro than ordinary intelligence.
AT the end of the first month of De Les
scps' direction of his education his tutor
with some pride brought in the boys
reports. "Do not bring me reports Of
lessons" De Lesscps said, "but his
weight desire you TO weigh him at
the beginning of every month! If he
has gained in flesh punish him. And see
that it does not happen again"

Miss Neatly Stevens Piano Recital.

Miss Neatly Stevens Piano Recital.
Miss Neatly Stevens gave an interest
ing piano recital at the old Presbyterian
church last evening before large and
appreciative audience. The programme
exhibited no wide range, but was we'll
fitted to display Miss Stevens special
qualities as a pianist. The opening
number, the Bach-St. Saens gavotte, was
well rendered with good expression.
Tho fourth number, the Chopin
Nocturne, was played with an unusual
appreciation of the spirit of the com
poser. The Raft eclogue was difficult
composition, requiring considerable
manual strength to develop it's volume,
and was we'll handled.
The Schumann number and the
,jadassohn scherzo are both new here
and seldom heard in piano recital
Their qualities will hardly commend
them to critical taste. The Lizt noe
turne and tarantelle were good, but de-
served al earlier place on the pro-
gramme. The difficult task of carr ing
recital OF such length unaided may be
offered as an excuse for clipping the
nocturne, but Lift is not always salts

competent of Interpreters. and the great

liberties with his own score Miss
Stevens is to be complimented on her
command of technique and the correct

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.

The United States flag is floating
over the government buildings at Homo
lulu, the American minister has pro-
claimed protectorate over the
Hawaiian Islands and the guns of the
Boston are ready to back it up. The
American eagle is clearing it's throat for
a scream.
There has been no question of public
policy in recent years in which there
seems to be such unanimity of senti.
ment as in regard to the annexation of
the Sandwich Islands. The possession of
this vantage ground will give the United
States control of the North Pacific for
all time to come. With the laying of q
cable to Honolulu, this country would
be in possession Of information in case
OF foreign war regarding the move
ments of an eastbound hostile fleet a
week before it would arrive on the
coast.
Under the stimulus of American pro-
lection the Islands would more than
double their sugar production and to
that extent aid in supplying the Ameri-
can market with a product which causes
present outlay OF nearly SlO0, 900, 900 a
year. An added value will como from
the acquisition in giving the United
States a new zest for territorial ag-
grandizement. Canada, Cuba and the
Antilles will come in time.
There is . spring wheat area in the
British Dominion from Manitoba north
and west, larger than tho com bined
areas of Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota
and the Dakotas, capable of producing
O0,oO0,oO0 bushels year. There is a
timber belt greater than the timber
area north OF Mason and Dixon's line;
there are coal, oil, iron, copper, nickel
and salt areas of immense value. They
will some time be developed and it will
be better for our peace of mind to have
them developed under democratic rather
than monarchical institutions.
Hawaiian annexation is good thing.
Let it come.

OUR BUILDING EDITION.

THE TIMES BUILDING EDITION is
making rapid progress toward the day
OF publication. 1t will be a splendid
exposition Of the still moro splendid
growth of Roanoke in 1892. We believe
that 1t will forecast strong revival of
business in all branches early this sea-
son. There are plenty Of signs to ju stify
the prediction.
No city OF any considerable spirit re.

has been confined to speculative real
estate operations, and the monetary
Htringency due to the necessarily enor.
NOUS use of money to pay real estate
notes, which would have otherwise re.
NAMED in the regular channels of trade.
Still it wall be found that the real estate
transfers of 1892 have been largely in
excess of the demands for building lotg
for that year, showing that the demands
the future have been anticipated to e
large extent.
The plans for operations for 1893 are
still largely formative. So much de-.

with the Norfolk and Western railroad
that 1T is too early to como down to de-

growth of Roanoke. In general way
1T is safe to say that tho growth of Roa-

1882 and probably considerably in excess.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-While the
Cabinet was In session Tuesday news Of
the ratification Of tho Russian extradi-
tion treaty by the Senate reached tho
White House. Upon learning this the
Secretary of State announced to his
associates that there were no treaties
pending before the Senate, no State
Department business Enacted upon, and
the statement was made yesterday that
such condition OF affairs probably
never before existed.
When Mr.. Foster entered upon the
discharge of the duties OF Secretary of
State last summer he found the extradi.

by Mr.. Bayard six years ago-the one
practically rejected and the other

two governments. and secured their
consent TO such anne rdments as were
NECESSARY to satisfy toe Senate.

CURRENCY AND POPULATION.

In all countries there is a correspondence
between the amount of currency and popula-
ton, but the correspondence is different in
different countries. The amount of currency
is proportioned to the business of the coun-
try, and the business corresponds with the
development of the people in civilization. In
France more business is done for the amount
of population than in any country in the
world, but it is of a domestic kind to a very
great extent, and of little profit to the people
each year. In other European countries the
business is about the same i'll amount for the
cultured portion of the people, and it is all
the present system of government and So
ciety permits. The people of the United
States have the most profitable business of
any country, and because of the opportuni-
ties, and intelligence and freedom of the peo-
pie. In Denmark the people have more
money for the population than in any other
country, but it is all owned by a class Of
wealthy persons who have no fellowship with
the poor class beyond a degree of humanity.

THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD.

Chello Jano, sixty-two years of age, of
Union Hill, was picking up coal on the Erie
Railroad near the Twelfth street crossing,
when engine No. 40S came along and boosted
him. The italian landed in a ditch. The
rain stopped and Conductor James O'Neill
jumped off. He thought the man dead.
The body was placed N the engine, which
backed down to First street, where Police
men and Garrick and Sullivan t~elephoned
for an ambulance. The man was removed
to Police Headquarters and was laid on a
table. While DR.. Simon was e~ndeavoring to
see what part of the man the engine struck
hardest, the Italian opened his eyes and
yawned. Then he sat up and elambered
from the table. Everyone was too much
surprised to speak, as they all had thought
him dead. The Italian left his name and
went home in a dazed condition.

FELL FROM A TROLLEY CAR.
Over and Killed by a Sugar
Truck.


truck.
Chief Mailing Clerk Charles M. Turner, of
the General Post Office, met with an accident
last evening that resulted in his death.
Turner, while assisting a lady on a Grand
street motor, slipped and fell to the street
and was run over by a heavy truck. The
accident occurred at Grand II Barrow
streets. Turner was standing on the step of
a crowded Pacific avenue motor, and when
the car stopped to allow a lady to get on he
alighted and assisted her by taking hold of
her arm. The conductor gave the motorman
the signal to start, and as the motor shot for
ward Turner jumped on the step. Before
the car reached the middle of the block
Turner in some unaccountable way lost his
footing and fell beneath the wheels of truck
No. 100 of the Sugar Refinery, which was
being driven by William Davis, of No. 1876
York street. Before Davis could bring the
horses to a halt the wheels passed over Tur-
ner's body and inflicted internal injuries
which proved fatal. The First Precinct
patrol wagon was m and the I'M
fortunate man was taken to the City Hospital.
He was unconscious and remained so until ten
minutes after midnight, when he died. Tur-
ner lived at No. 9S Phillip street, and was
thirty years old. Davis was arrested, and
this morning Justice aO'Donnell held him for
examination.

FATHER OF THE FRENCH NAVY,

Admiral Paris, ''the father of the French
Navy" died recently at the age of eighty
seven. His first important service was per-
formed sixty-seven years ago, when he ac-
~companied Dumont D'Urvi1le to a voyage
which added considerably to our knowledRe
of the Pacific islands. Unlike most sailors of
the old school, he early appreciated the adj
vantahes of steam. 1t was under his com
mand that the Cape OF Good Hope was first
doubled by a French steamship, and he lost
an arm at P~ondicherry through an accident
caused by a steam engine ashore. During
the Crimean War he was Captain of a two.
decker, and won the rank of Vice Admiral.
He was appointed curator of the naval mu-
scum at the Louvre after his retirement in
1871. He devoted his official salary to the
improvement of the collection under his
charge.-Toqonto Mail.

BALzAO ON PLAYS AND NOVELS

Balzac told Arsene Houssaye a short time
before his death that he was able to conceive
a play only in the form of a novel. ssThe
playwright can only reveal himself in frah-
meuts," said the author, "while in the novel
the novelist presents a complete whole. And
he never fails to be adequately rendered. for
the reader has all the scenes before him. In
the novel the idea of the author comes to him
at first hand, while the play is nothing but a
translation thereof. What is worse, there
have never been any good translators; it is
better to have to deal with God himself than
with his saints. Even Mile. Rachel does NOT
represent to me the tragic h~eroines as I be-
hold them in my own mind.'eDramatic
Mirror.
