A Russian Sorosis.

The women of Russia bid fair to soon
be able to boast of an organization on
the style of the Sorosis of the United
States. 1t all came about in this way:
A meeting was recently held in st.
Petersburg by the leading women of
the city to determine on some method
of rendering thanks to Nine. Adam, who
took so leading part in welcoming the
Russian sailors during the late festivi-
ties in Toulon. The city very grace
fully allowed the ladies to use one of
the chambers in the town hall, and the
ladies had perfectly delightful time.
There were only two men reporters
present at the meeting, and they after
ward confessed that they were simply
astounded at the executive ability dis
played by the women.
Nine. Stassov, who presided at the
meeting, was so well pleased at its re-
suit that she is now working very hard
to effect a permanent organization OF
the women. There is certainly no scar
city of money to carry out this project,
as may be judged from the fact that
over 1000 rubles were subscribed on
the spot toward getting up a testimonial
to Nine. Juliana Adan.-St. Petersburg
Correspondent.

An EngIish Sarcastic Fling.

When one of England's LADY jour
nalists" INDUCES in sarcasm, some one
must suffer. Here's what an unkind
contributor in London journal finds
to say about our own Professional Wo-
mans league:
- Palmer's theater, in New York,
there has '~eea perpetrated perform
ance of AS Y01 Like It. by a cast
composed entirely OF ~cnen. The
house was crowded by distinguished
audience, l read, and the Professional
Woman's league will benefit to the ex-
tent of at least $780, Anything for a
novelty, of course. So rumors already
are afioat that similar experiment will
be made in London, and while on the
one hand Miss Kate ROrke, the be-
witching boy of All For Her and
captivating young gallant in Cupid
Messenger, is being sought for an Or
lando, the part of Charles, the wres-
tier, will, no doubt, be thrown open to
competition among the strong ladies at
the halls. Was ever such futile non
sense1 IL the Americans are Shake
speare's warmest admirers and this
playing at acting is the best they can dc
in his honor, then indeed heaven pre-
serve him from his friends.

Save the Forests.

Some years ago the government of
Bavaria sent skilled forester to study
the conditions of timber growth in the
United States. While here he made the
remark, as if speaking of matter gen
orally known and accepted:
In 90 years you will have to import
your timber, and as you will probably
prefer American kinds we shall begin to
grow them, in order to be ready to send
them to you at the proper time.
What an instance of scientific fore
thought, and withal what a warning!
Perhaps it is not yet too late to grow
on our own lands the timber we shall
need generation or two hence, but If
we are to do so it is time to take rigOr-
GUS steps to stop reckless forest destruc.
ton and to encourage scientific cultlva-
ton.
While our government sells outright
its forest lands for SO. so an acre, France
obtains almost exactly the same sum
yearly from each acre of its forest land
by sales of timber. We spend our cap
ital; France makes an income, and
safeguards its capital.
Palsy, the famous French potter.
who was wise in other things as well
as in porcelain, declared that the neg
lect of forests in his day was mot
mistake, but a calamity and curse for
France. That country has since
learned the lesson. When will ours
follow its Youths Compan
ion.

Economical Spring Gowns for Ladies.

A somewhat rapid glance over the coming
fashions shows that they are practically the
same as last years. This fact, however, will
prove blessing in disguise, as it will enable
many to exercise well-timed economy and
take advantage of this sameness of style for
remodelling old dresses. Every part of a
gown can thus be made over, and especially
the overskirt which will be so largely worn.
By using an old skirt as an overdress above a
sham skirt of a different material, the trans
formation will be at once both complete and
effective. If the lower part of an old dress be
worn or soiled, it may easily be removed as
the drapery in some styles is drawn up as
far as the knee on the side and half way be-
tween the foot and the knee in front. As a
matter of course the draperies are varied in
form and sometimes quite complicated. The
MCDOWELL FASHION JOURNALS contain all the
novelties of the season, and moreover, in Or
der to furnish further assistance to their read
ers, they offer a supplement of patterns of the
latest styles. These may be secured by means
of coupons at an exceedingly moderate price,

Lecture on EIecrrlcity.

On Monday night, Prof G. M. Zerr, Princi-
pal of the High School, delivered an interest
ing lecture on electricity to a large and APP
preciative audience in. the Y. M. c. A. audi
torium, Notwithstanding the attractions of the
Columbian Bazaar and a temperance lecture
in the u B. Church by Mr.. Luther Benson, of
Indiana. He gave the history of that power
full and mysterious agent, the views which
had been entertained of it in the past, the diff
ferent modes of its development and applca-
ton, and said that no one knows what it is,
but that light, heat and electricity were near
akin to each other. He defined the meaning
of the terms positive and negative electricity,
originally termed vitreous and resinous, static
and dynamic electricity and the conservation
of energy which meant that the energy of
nature is never increased nor diminished, but
always remains the same in amount. He
gave quite a number of interesting expert
ments showing its action under different con-
ditions and explained how lightning and the
aurora borealis were caused by the union OF
opposite electricities. The audience showed
their appreciation by frequent applause.

LAUREL HILL, March "a, 1894.
Instead of censuring the action of some OF
our boards. in purchasing Nickerson's charts
for the schools, all patrons whose schools are
the recipients of SO valuable an addition to
the usually sparse school-room apparatus, have
great reason to rejoice. Those who speak I'M
favorably of this purchase, have either never
examined the charts or they have been infiu
enced by some,teacher who is sweating great
drops because he has realized that the time
has come for more effective work or else quit
the ranks The teachers of this type are per
suading themselves that the public school sys-
ten is drifting to the dogs and that we are on
the verge of a crisis. What we need is al
educational cyclone. We steadfastly believe
that new era is da wning, only it is moving
Augusta-ward too slowly. Rockingham
claims the banner, and rightfuIly so we sup
pose, though she is not we'll supplied with
charts.
1t is high time that old Augusta is booming
up her schools, booming so loud that over in
some of the bordering cou mites it might be
mistaken for distant thunder. Augusta
should take thesead and leave others in hel
wake-yes, and steal Rockingham's much
cherished banner. Augusta pays better
salaries than Rockingham-some Principals
in the latter only receiving s26 per month
Thus Augusta. bankrupt as she Is, is still
ahead of Rockingham from moneyed point
of view. Is a Principal who received S35 OF
$40 per month for, among other things, the
Herculean effort required to keep the chart
case locked during the session, booming
Boom boom boom
We want effective booming, booming that
will raise the plane of our school system up
to the ideal standard and equal to any-Cali-
fornia not excepted. We want our schools
elevated to that standard in which the chill
dren now attending school may in years to
come look back upon their public school as
their alma Mater. This is no idle fancy, il
can be done.
1t seems that Astronomy has been choosing
other parts of our rotary orb on which to give
celestial entertainments, as both the eclipses,
booked respectfully for March 21st, and April
9Th occur at such times, and fall at such
angles as to cheat us of our share of these ex-
hibitions. These serve as good object lessons
to illustrate to children the movements of the
planets and satellites, and how shadows are
cast in space Echo.

The Columbian Bazaar.

The Columbian Bazaar, for the benefit of
the Stonewall Brigade Band, which was held
every day and night of last week, has elected
so much interest and been attended by such
large numbers that it was concluded to con-
tinue it for at least a portion of this week so
that those who did not attend it last week can
have the opportunity to do so this week. Its
success, in all its various and varied features,
has been phenomenal, and has exceeded the
expectations of even the most sanguine. To
appreciate this very unique entertainment it
is necessary to witness it, for any description
that could be given would be inadequate.
The Bazaar was held Monday night and
will close tonight. There was suspension
last night as many had secured tickets to the
colored performance of Richard Ill. in the
Opera-House last night. Those, if any, who
have not attended the Bazaar should do SO
tonight.

Death of Mre. Maria Gardner.

Mrs. Maria Gardner, the wife of Rev. J. 5.
Gardner. DID,, Presiding Elder of the NJ. f.
Church South of this district, died at the
Methodist parsonage on Gospel Hill in this
city at o'clock Sunday afternoon, aged Is
years. She had been in feeble health for sew
eral years, and few weeks ago had fall
from the effects of which she never recovered.
DR.. Gardner, her devoted husband, was loath
to leave her to attend the annual conference
in session at Fredericksburg, but as she urged
him to go, and as she at that time seemed to
be better, he concluded reluctantly to go. AS
her condition became more unfavorable, he
was telegraphed to that effect, when he imme-
diately returned and arrived here on Saturday.
Her maiden name was Maria McNeal, and she
was born in Wilmington, Delaware, but when
quite small her parents removed to Baltimore,
after which they removed to Alexandria, Va,
where she married Mr.. Bononi Wheat, and is
survived by three sons and one daughter by
that marriage-Rev. Quincy Adams Wheat,
of Strasburg, Cassius Wheat and Mrs. Annie
Frazier of this city. and Orlando Wheat, of
Waco, Texas. She had no children by her
marriage to DR.. Gardner. She was devoted
wife and mother and most excellent Chris
tan woman
Her remains were taken on Monday morn
ing to Alexandra for burial on Tuesday from
the residence of her sister, Mrs. Susan Smoot.
The following were pall-bearers to the train:
Messrs. W. l.. Lushbaugh, B. T. Bagby, P. N.

tute accompanied the remains to the depot.

ner was adopted, and Rev. Drs. ]. H. Boyd

VETO OF SILVER BILL.

The President, by his veto of the bill direct
ing the coinage of the silver bullion held in
the Treasury, &C., has demonstrated the sagac-
ity and intelligence of Senator Daniel and
others, who long and stoutly insisted on coup
ling with the Sherman silver-purchase law a
provision directing the coinage and utilization
of the vast amount of silver which had ac-
cumulated in the Treasury in paying the cur
| rent expenses of the government, rather than
| to permit it lie idle. 1t was confidently be-
| lieved, that the unconditional repeal of the
| Sherman law would result in a suspension
| of the coinage of silver, and that no coinage
| bill could become law in Mr. Cleveland's
| term. The real ISSUE in that protracted con
| tention, was coinage, or no coinage OF sill
vers." The specious declarations of some OF
| those who insisted on IAN unconditional re-
peal' were well understood to cover a deter
mined opposition to further coinage of sill
ver The President leaves no doubt now on
this point. In his veto message, he says-"ln
my Judgment sound finance does not com
mend further infusion of silver in our cur
rency at this time,' &c. The refusal to use
| the silver in aid of the depleted Treasury and
resort to borrowing money for that purpose
by sale of bonds and paying interest is cumu
| lative evidence of the Presidents view on sill
yer coinage.
Those who denounced as FOOLS the friends
of silver coinage for insisting on adding to the
repeal bill provision for coinage, will now
see who were fooled, if indeed their profes-
sions for continuance of silver were sincere
