Senator Vance was the greatest
man our State mas yet produced.
There have been those who mast
.. cd. h m u -i,w, y hO surpassed him IN
lettcrs-who IN special lines of intel
lectual strength equaled and went
beyond him: but none has been 50
many-slded. or, 10 change the figure
suddenly and 10 employ a better one,
none has been 50 well rounded out.
A a popular orator and as q de-
batOr before the people, there has
been in North Carolina no man who
approached him. Never has the
State had Il son who could 50 sway
the multitude. His style Of address
was unique and is never 10 be for
gotten. We pass by the inimitabir
humor which lightened up hIS speech
es. While to the Needless this was
the distinguishing feature of Nance's
Oratory, it was indeed the mercst in
cident of his public addresses. His
arguments We're pOnderOus in the
originality Of his proPositinns and III
the power of his statement Of them
he was a thinker, a lOgician.
He Fought Against His Natural Talent,
(N-O-Chroniole.(
Once we asked him how he passed
his time at Washington. His answer
was that when the Senate adjourned
ne went home, put on ms Dire ssing
gown and slippers, and passed his
time in his library studying and
reading. His life had been 8 very
busy one, with but small opportunity
for general reading; and how, fond
of company as he was, he was Sc
cluding himself, eD joying his books,
and rounding himself out as a full
man, acquainted with literature and
master OF the important subject that
came up fOr grave debate III the Sen
ate. And SD 1t happened that he de-
sired to escape from the reputation
that ne had so long enjoyed because
OF the wit that bubbled up inces-
sanity in his sparkling brain. He
wished to attain to a fame somewhat
more solid and enduring than that.
and so he Struggled TO repress his
natural inclination to illustrate by
anecdote, and to appear before the
world as deeper thinker and more
polished scholar. In this he achie yed
nota ole success. When the great
lawyer Jere Black died, there was
gathered in the Supreme Court cham
ber at Washington a notable assem-
blage to do homer TO his memcry.
MANY addresses We're delivered bY
men OF acknowledged scholarship;
but that of Senator Vance excelled
them all in taste. in elegance Of die
ton aad beautiful sentiments. 1t

CATION and evened up an old score
with Senator Ransom.
When Ransom said Cars nom
ination is the greatest calamity that
ever betell the State" il was not IN
tended for publication, but the obser-
walton was repeated and Carr heard
of it and believed it. What the Dem
ocrats said about the Governor when
he was candidate they are now say
ing about his administration. They
tolerate HIM because they are too
cowardly to openly oppose him. In
the appointment of Jarvis he has
made the issue and now it is fight
or a foOt-race. Ransom controls the
machine and Jarvis will soon see how
utterly helpless he Is to combat IT in
party lines. The prestige of the
Senate and the influence of the State
administration will count for little IN
fighting a small army of Federal Of
fee holders.

wealthy Parsee. have brought about a wonderful improvement in the condi. ton of child wives and child widows in India. The writer says: Those iabors have resulted not only in the legal pro- tection given by the nge-of-consent act. but in q general awakening of Hindu opinion and of the Hindu conscience to the evils incident to the old system Of things. Two of the most striking char acteristics of Hinduism are it's powers Of resistance to forcible interference from without and Its marvellous capacl- ty of reforming itself from within. The age-of-consent act, which Is the legs- lative memorial of MT. Malabarps self sacrificing efforts, forms but small part Of what he has accomplished. By his unwearied writings and innumerable speeches and apostolic wanderings over India as the advocate of Il higher life for Indian womanhood, he has reached the Hindu intelligence and touched the Hindu heart. Orthodox Hindu states like Earoda. Mysore and Bhanagar have. under the impulse given by him, gone further in tEe legislative protec- ton of women than our British govern nlcnt has deemed prudent. The brave Rajputs of Ratputana are. as autonom- ous races. imposing stringent rules on infant marriage and on the waste of money at weddings. which no governor of British province would have ven tiired on.

Why did he do 1t? asks the Register concerning the acceptance by Attorney Cleavcland nf the nomination of judge cf Ircbate given him by the Republican probate convention, Well, well, well! Here's richness for you. Why did Mir Cady accept the nomination given him by the Democratic State convention? And why did the other nominees on the Democratic State ticket accept the nominations given them? Do they think, or does the Register think, that their chances of election are any bet ter than those of MT. Cleaveland? They took their nominations for the good of the party. MT Cleaveland took his for the same reason.

beige silk. It's ornamentation Is at- tained by the. use of three green satin ribbons ending at full bows at the neck and shoulders. The sleeves are trimmed to match, the ends being caught with the shoulder bows, and the cuffs are also banded with the ribbon which Is used for belt and collar.
 A very pretty party dress for young girl is of rose pink tulle over pink sat- in, the tulle being spangled with jet The underskirt Is entirely covered with tulle, the latter, being finished around the bottom by four tiny ruches of the same material. The fitted bodice is loosely covered with tulle gathered with two rows of shirring, one front and the other near the back. The small square .decollette is bor- dered with wide bands of rose pink velvet embroidered with jet, and straps of the same come over the shoulders hanging down in tab-fashion about two inches below the band fin front. The belt and sleeve bands are also made of pink embroidered velvet, which con- stitutes charming finish for this girl ish toilet.
 In this connection it may be said that there seems to be in the current fash ions no intermediate style between the high collar and the decolletage. Both styles go to the extreme, many of the collars being so high as to be alto- gether uncomfortable, and many low bodices being entirely immodest.

In eonsequencs Of the h:ainy and un- selfish efforts of Mir.

THE WORK BEGUN.

The meeting of the Police Commits sioners and Dr. Smyth last evening was very interesting. The mayor was there, ready, we presume, to do battle for the public good if necessary. There was no executive session." but much was done, all the same. Commissioner Doolittle came out flat-footed on the side of law and order, and it will evil dently not be his fault if the investiga- tion is not thorough one. The mayor and Messrs. Doolittle and Prince were appointed committee to prepare for the hearing, which is awaited with deep interest by all the good citizens of New Haven who have become convinced that an investigation is needed.
 The questions asked by Dr. Snyth were comprehensive and pointed, and some of his statements were specific enough to satisfy at least one commits soner. It is evident to all who know anything about the matter that the liquor law is mot well enforced in this city, and that there has been an in- f1uence emanating from the Police board against the strict enforcement of the law. We have no doubt that Dr. Smyth can present ample proof of this, if any more is needed. Anybody who will take walk around town on Sun day with his eyes open will not need any further proof that something is wrong, especially if his walk includes Grand avenue. And it is also plainly evident that the policy evil isn't dealt with as it should be.
 The investigation should be as search ing as it can be made. The people will detect any attempt to make it other wise, and they will be heard from if there is need of their interference. Po- iicemen who do their duty will be pro- tected by them as well as by the Police Commissioners.

He Is fond of wearing g dressing-gowl and the big boots of a peasant when he at- tends his royal patient, and his uncon- ventionai ways profoundly shock the courtiers. He refused to occupy apart ments on the third floor of the palace because his apartments at home were on the ground floor, and he declined to lunch with the Czarina at the imperial table on the ground, that he was not ill the habit of taking meals with wo- men.
