NC" VI OIu.
A Washington special to the Herald
says there vas one dramatic incident
in Thursdays Democratic senatorial
caucus that the participants in that
affair have been very anxious to keep
quiet. Senator Coke, of Texas,
declared that he would vote for the
bill and the committee amendments,
though he did not give those amend,
ments his approval.
He complained that the bill had
been tlnkered with and brought in
to it's present shape by Senators who
were not Influenced by desires to
protect American industries, but ey
their own selfish and personal inter
! ests. Raising his voice and speak

tors in the caucus had been guilty Of

bill. An excited murmur greeted this
charge, md some shouted Name

turning abruptly about from the
chairman of the caucus and looking
at those behind him.
Instantly dozen Senators were OF

abstained from giving names, for the
reason that it might still further de

Do you believe the Democratic

Mr.. Editor In your issue of the
10, you published an answer from
Mary Shelton, stating that "Jeptha
slew his only daughter" Mary IS
not to blame some older person who
should have known better told her
so. Jeptha did not murder his own
daughter. There is no record that
God ever permitted human sacri-
flee. Abraham came nearest of any,
but the voice of God saying "slay not
thy son." stayed the honest fathers
hand. Jeptha vowed "whatsOeVer
cometh forth Of the doors of my
house to meet me shall surely be the
Lords So far the VOW was literal
ly fulfilled but the last part. 81 will
offer it up for burnt offering" that
depended altogether whether it was
ii proper subject for burnt Offering.
Suppose it had been a dog, would he
have insulted jehovah with such u
burnt Offering: Nay, verify. But
1t reads he did unto her according
to hi, vow.
Hannah said # Samuel, Il witt

of his hfe,' and she did 50. Did
Samuel marry? Jeptha's daughter
could not marry. She was given to
the Lord all the days of her life. In
those days it was counted as good as
dead for Il woman not to marry. Did
her friends mourn for her as
dead? No, but "the daughters of
Israel went yearly to lament with
the daughter of Jeptha," or, as we
find it in the margin "to talk with
her four days in year." She was
counted as dead to the world about
like nun OF the present time.
No, no dear little girls, do not be-
lieve that the Lord God whose "mer-
cy is higher than the clouds, whose
mercy endureth forever" do not be-
lieve that He ever accepted human
sacrifice because He never did.

well known, had but recently officiated

friends from the start, and Cram
counted on tidings of his absent sub
altern in appealing to him. Great,
therefore, was his CONSERVATION when
in reply to his inquiry Reynolds
promptly answered that he had neither
seen nor heard from Waring in over
forty-eight hours. This was facer.
"Whats wrong, Cram?"
Read that, said the captain, placing
a daintily-written note in the abide
camps hand. 1t was brief but explicit:

The Washington correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer telegraphs
the following remarkable statement
to that paper:
THE fact that when they met this
morning in the Senate chamber, the
North Carolina Senators locked arms
and walked around to Senator Jarvis
seat and held pleasant confab, was
remarked. upon from the reporters

do not propose to forget the fact; we
will cooperate for the good of the
party"
This will surprise some people,
but we were prepared for it. In fact
we predicted as much three weeks
ago. We called attention to the fact
that Senator Jarvis is a machine
man, and that he carefully left the
back door open so he could commu-
nicate with and serve Wall stree,
| whenever called upon.
Senator Vance did not ''walk arm
in arm with Ransom" Vance cosld
not associate with such corrupt
unreliable man. Jarvis can. Vance
would not cooperate with Ransom
for the good of the party" for Ran
som was never found working t,
that end. Ransom generally voteC

tons. Jarvis says he Twill cooper

The two Senators from North Ca
rolina ought to cooperate, ought t.
be friendly. but thirty years exper
fence has shown that the man VIII,
co-operated with Ransom is not

lima. Less than six months ago tn,

had hoped to spare you this, but it is
too late now. Mr.. Lascelles was found
lying on the sofa in his library this
morning He had died hours before,
during the night"
And then he had to spring and catch
the fainting woman in his arms. She
was still meaning and only semi-con-
scious when the old family doctor and
her brother, Pierre Hervilly, arrived.
Half an hour later Cram astonished
the aids-de-camp and other bored
staff officials by appearing at the gen
eral loafing room at headquarters. To
the chorus of inquiry as to what
brought him up in such a storm he
made brief reply, and then asked i'm
mediately to speak with the adjutant
general and Lieut.. Reynolds, and, to
the disgust and mystification of all the
others, he disappeared with these into
an adjoining room. There he briefly
told the former of the murder, and
then asked for a word with the junior.
Reynolds was a character. Tall,
handsome and distinguished, he had
served throughout the war as volun-
teer, doing no end of good work, and
getting many a word of praise, but, as
all his service was as a staff officer, II
was his general who reaped the reward
of his labors. He had risen, of course,
to the rank of majo in the staff in the
volunteers, and everybody had
prophesied that he would be appointed
major in the adjutant or inspector
generals department in the permanent
establishment. But there were moi
enough places by any means, and the
few vacancies went to men who knew
better how to work for themselves
