BOUND VOLUMES OF 1.-THE MAGIC
CITY,"
One of These superb Works Can Now be
Obtained at the Times Ofice.

One of These superb Works Can Now be
Obtained at the Times Omce.
The bound volumes of 1.-The Magic
City," the superb series of Worlds Fair
views, issued from The TIMES office,
have been received and can be seen at
the business Office of THE TIMES, where
they will BIO given in exchange for the
full Set of eighteen mum bers and rs cen Is
or Sl.50 additional, according to the
style Of binding desired.
The bound volume makes beautiful
work, appropriate for the parlor table
in any family and collection Of series
OF views inestimable in value as a SOU
venir OF the great exposition, and as an
educator of the people in presenting
concise Photographic views OF buildings,
exhibits and people of all nations, which
views are explained in an entertaining
way by the famous descriptive writer,
]. w. Buel.
The volumes are. the projections OF
the book binders art. There are two
styles to select from, one of rich
coiored brown cloth, with the title en-
belished in gold upon the front; the
other an elegant affair in full Ameri.
can Russian leather, with embossed
scrollwork on front and back covers,
with the title in gold on the front and
back of the volume and the edges in
gilt.
The series OF views is one worthy of
saving. 1t forms collection of pic
lures which will prove as interesting in
the years to come as at the present
time. No one who went to the Worlds
Fai- at Chicago last season should feel
that he could be without work of this
nature, and 1.-The Magic City" is the
very best production that has bee pre-.
scented by any newspaper or publishing
house for the same money. It gives to
those who did not attend the very best
conception OF the exposition that can
be obtained.
The price for the bound volumes barely
covers the cost OF the work Of binding
only rs cents for tho cloth and 81 so for
the leather-bound volume. This is what
you have to pay in addition to the full
set Of the series to secure the completed
work and no time is lost waiting for it
to come from the BINDERS.
Remember that each OF the eigb teen
parts must be in good condition to be
received in exchange. Soiled numbers
and missing parts will be supplied at
the usual rate OF ten cents and one
coupon for each part.
Come in and make the exchange early,
before the large supply Of bound vol
umes now on hand is exhausted.

The movement toward starting a
young mems business league in this
city received an encouraging impetus
at the meeting held last night. Unfor-
fortunately there were number of
other important events to detract from
the attendance, but in spite of these
attractions good number OF young men
showed their interest by being present
and joining in the expression Of views,
all Of which were In hearty sympathy
with the project, The prclj ninary meet.
ing last night was sufficient to show
that the promoters are in earnest in this
matter and that there Is every likeli-
hood of the project being pushed
through to o successful issue. 1t now
remains for large number OF the
young men to be present at the meeting
on Friday night and carry out the plan
for proper organization and the choice
OF the right men for the important
Offices.

"THE real, genuine farmer in the
United States-the an who is at home
on his own land-is not constantly com
plsining OF his lot in life" is the opiu ion
of Secretary ]. Sterling Morton, in the
June Forum. Census returns show that
6 about 70 per cent. Of all the farms in the
United States are unencumbered. What
other calling. what other industry, what
other investments for making liveli-

can make as good showing as the
farmers?

FAVOR OF a BUSINESS LEAGUE.
a Meeting Last Night at Which steps
Were Taken for Its Formation.

Meeting Last Night at Which steps
Were Taken for Its Formation.
Pursuant to the call issued In Sun
days TINES meeting was held at
Hotel Lee last night at which prelimi-
nary steps were taken looking towards
the organization of a young mems bust
ness league. 7. w. Miller was called
to act as chairman OF the meeting and
j. R. Colling wood. secretary.
On taking the chair Mr. Miller re
marked upon the advissbility at the
present time OF perftcting an organiza-
ton of such scope as might properly
come within the bounds of an associa-
tion of the young business men of our
city and then stated that he was ready
to consider whatever business might be
pre- scented. Words bearing on the sub
lect were then spoken by Messrs. a. P.
Staples, n. w. Anderson, R. 81. Angel.
Jas. S. Simmons, e. Fl. Stewart and
others
The following motion was made and
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That com mittee be sp-
pointed, with the chaicman Of this
meeting as chairman thereof, to draft q
plan of organization and report at an
adjourned meeting OF this body on
Friday evening next, June s, at $50, at
the courthouse, at which time an or
ganization can be effected and officers
elected"
The idea conveyed in this resolution
was that as no plan OF organization had
been cut'and.dried, the young men
could elect their own officers without
the dictation OF nominating oom-
mittee.
After further consideration OF the
scheme the meeting adjourned to meet
at the courthouse Friday night.
Chairman Miller gu osequently ap-
pointed the following committee, In
accordance with the resolut ton adopted:
Edward L.. Stone, S. Fl. HeiroDimus,
Edward a. Kelley, j. R. Collingwood,
Jno. K. Simmons, II. M. Darpall, s..
Everett Sproule and A, 2. Staples.

Miles of Railroad Cars.

To transact the business of the rail
ways there were required last year the
services of 80, 1856 locomotives, of which
S,S48 We're employed in passenger service,
II 500 in freight service and G, 1923 in yard
service and in service not specified. To
perform the passenger traffic of this great
country last year 2S.876 cars were en-
ployed, and the freight service of the
country gave employment to 96G, 9SS;
while 36,901 cars were required in the
service Of the railways themselves.
Putting these figures in more con-
crete and definite form, the locomotives
of the railways Of the United States, if
marshaled, with their tenders, into sin
gle line would make a train 357 miles
long. With the passenger cars reported
owned last year we might make train
that would reach from Boston to within
10 miles of Philadelphia.
But the most wonderful figures are
brought out by a similar arrangement
of cars in freight service. Placing these
cars together in a continuous train, it
seems almost incredible that this train
would be TOPS miles long, but so the
figures make it appear, and allowing
the distance from Boston to San Fran
Cisco to be 5000 miles our train of
freight cars would reach from Boston to
San Francisco, from San Francisco back
to Boston and from Boston again as far
west as Chicago. What tonnage they
would move at q single load leave you
to conceive if you can.-E. A. Moseley

a Strong Hearted Young woman.

IL the summer of 1890 bright italian
girl came to New York and secured en-
ployment as a servant, having in view
the saving of money enough to pay the
passage of her parents from Italy to this
more favored land. A brief experience
showed her that at the low wages she
was able to obtain it would be a long
time before she could hope to sec her
parents here, and she decided to adopt
the garb Of man in order that she
might obtain a mans wages. She did
so, and readily found employment on a
railroad which was being built in Penn
sylvania.
Despite the blistering of her hands
and the hardships of the labor, she toiled
faithfully for months, living by herself
in small hut not far from Hazleton,
and as much as possible avoiding asso-
citation with her fellow laborers, by
whom the supposed effeminate young
man was not held in high esteem.
She had nearly accumulated the
amount of money necessary to bring the
parents to America when former neigh
Dor of the family in the old country was
given employment on the railroad and
placed in the same gang with the strong
hearted young woman. He Immediately
recognized her, and the fact of her dis
guise was reported to the foreman, but
the latter on hearing her pathetic story
did not order her discharge. He simply
consented that she should go on with
the work she had been pursuing, and at
last reports she was merrily welding the
pick and shovel, happy in the assurance
that her parents would soon be with her.

wOMAN's AMBITIONS.
A Lesson From tiae Life OF Madeline
Pollard.
rom the ichmond Stated

rom the ichmond State.
Madeline Pollard, at this time the
most conspicuous woman in Ameri-
ca, is ID living warming tn girls. From
her childhood she was filed with All
inordinate ambition TO ''cut a dash "
in the world and that was the rock
upon which her life was wrecked. To
execute her purpose, she made Il dis
gushing bargain with the man who
loved her-pledging her troth for q
money consideration And tie
shame OF it was that her own mother
was n party to the vicious agree
mentl
She never intended to marry this
man, but she was willing 10 profit by
his affection and to trifie with the
most sacred of all human ties for IL
selfish and worldly purpose
She took this mans money, a thing
of itself abhorrent to any pure mind
ed woman, and used it to fl her for
her career" and then when the time
of settlement came, she was false TO
the bargain she had made and chose
life of shame and deception instead
living as a harlot and palming
Herself Oh Oh ueceHb anu tfuSliitE
people as pure woman.
We do not mean, OF course, to pal
late the offence of Mr.. breckenridge,
but We shall not consent to the effort
that is being made to pose Miss
Pollard as a slaughtered innocent
and a martyr. She began life with
bad principles and with the wrong
aim in view, She chose her own path
and the end thereof is disgrace,
Her life, we say, is a warning to
young women. The noblest ambi
ton of woman is to be pure and
chaste and to adorn the social circle
as an exemplar of modesty and
virtue. Any ambition which fails to
compass this purpose is sure to lead
to infamy.

water Js. Propulsion For Ships.

Water Jet propulsion for ships seems
to have peculiar fascination for a great
many inventors. Year after year its
supposed merits have been dinned into
the ears of people likely to interest them
selves in it financially, and in a number
of cases actual trials have been made
with view of practically demonstrate
ing that the advantages claimed for it
really exist. None of these experiments
has ever given the slightest encourage
ment to the scheme. Still, like Ban
quo's ghost, it will not down, and at
present it is again being vigorously adj
vertised. Its promises, Of course, are OF
an alluring kind.
In case of complicated engines to drive
screw propellers or paddle wheels we
have simply, SO the promoters tell us, to
provide few pumps, boiler or perhaps
several boilers, to supply the steam nee
essary to work them, and a nozzle in the
stern of the vessel. The pumps will take
in water through orifces in the bow or
at the sides of the ship, drive it out at
high pressure through the nozzle at the
stern, and reaction will do the rest, pro-
pelling the boat forward at variously
stated speeds.
The cost of the whole outfit, it is ar
gued, will be comparatively low, the
space occupied also will be small, and
the expense of maintenance of the ma
chinery will be materially reduced as
compared with that of the currently
used installations aboard ship. The
drawback to the whole thing, however,
is that the system will not work, or rath-
n1.f ha+
cially satisfactory way.-Cassier's Maya
zine

WHOM TO CHOOSE.

In a few months a political cam
paign will begin, and it is of vast
Importance that we start right.
Ample considera ton should be given
to a plan of campaign which some
papers are discussing with candor
and ability. Our political duty lies
along certain lines, and among other
declarations of the Wilmington Mes
senger, we endorse the following:
Every much in North Carolina will
depend upon the character of the men
selected for office. We positively
believe that there is a considerable
and growing element in the Demo
cratic party that will repudiate men
of doubtful characters and upon
whom is resting suspician that is
damaging The men nominated for
office must be like C3esar's wife
"above suspicion" Ii there is u
faint upon them they will lose many
a vote. If the political wire pnllcrs
and machine manipulators do not
know this much, they are really
ignorant of what the people are say
ft1o al Z
honest, reliable, intelligent, faithful,
with political principles and with
fidelity to those principles, with clean
hands and pure records, who are
genuine Democrats and stand upon
the Chicago platform of 1892. I'M
yieldingly and boldly and squarely-
these are the men to select. Men
who command the confidence of the
bast men ina the communities, aud
who are known to have integrity and
honor. PERSONAL and political, and
who cannot be bought or siienced by
tn persuasions OF Office or the allure
ments of patronage these are the
kind of candidates to be presented
'or the support OF good citizens,
Democrats and patriots The oppo-
site of these will be scratched by the
thousands"
