The keeper of n small lunch stand
in New York has just retired from
business with a fortune Of SSll, 0O0 as
result of twenty-sIX years OF cheap
catering. He has been almost rs for.
tunate as WAS once noted restaura-
teur in this city who retired from his
business with An even larger fortune.
When asked how he managed to accu-
mulate SO much money in such an oc.
cupation his reply WIS that while his
rivals always cut their pies into four
pieces, he Invariably cut his into five.

The trolley men in Brooklyn are
queer creatures. Aflcr running their
vehicles at breakueck speed, accom-
pllshing list of more than II hundred
killed, they now seek to arouse public
sentiment by making Il time schedule
slower than that of the horse cars
They speciously argue that when, in
obedience to universal demand, rapid
transit was given, howl of protest
was raised against the speed. In that
they beg the question. The mat
ter at issue between the troll
leys and the people is the lack
of sufficient prrcaution. We all
know very we'll that people are never
killed by the trolley unless they are
on the tracks, but. III crowded cities
and on streets where two tracks are
permitted, being on the tracks Is not n
misdemeanor, but an accident liable to
occur at any time to any person. The
tender is the thing that these offend
ers should be compelled to provide.
After that the question of speed can
be dispassionatcly discussed.

All the efforts of Tammany and its
allies to defeat the Police Magistrates
bill have failed. 1t passed the Assem-
bly, by the overwhelming vote OF So to
7, and will now be sent TO Mayor
Strong for his consideration. He will,
no doubt, approve it and it is equally
certain that Gov. Morton will give to
it his signature. 1t is one of the i'm
portant reform measures demanded
by the voters last November, and
the effect of it will be to make
it impossible in the future for men
like Diver, and others of the same ilk
to hold these important and well-paid
positions as the rewards o! partisan
politics. Police justices henceforth
must be lawyers and not the graduates
and proprietors of dives, as many
of them have been. The gain is a
most distinctive one in the interest of
better government and honest, decent
administration of justice in the police
courts. In them the enforcement
of the law has been a mock
erv Innocent men without ''inhuence"
have been unjustly punished, while
rascals who were of service to the po-
litical "machine" were allowed to go
quit and free. The whole system is
rank with corruption. 1t is a blot
on our civilization, and all good citi-
zens will rejoice that it is to be torn
up by the roots.

The women of New York might
have it all their own way if they only
would realize the present condition of
things here. The queerest feature of
New York City's --latest census is that
it shows more males than females.
Most of our great eastern cities show
an excess of female over male popula-
ton, and this is conspicuously the
case in Boston, where the women out
number the men by about l3, 900, ac-
cording to the last census, while in
New York there appears to be about a
thousand more men than women. If
the men are compelled to stand around
now it is their own fault

1t is with regret that we mention
the death Of Rev. Samuel Gilmore,
which occurred early in this week
at his home on the work he was
serving, in Pendleton ecu lty. His
disease was fever which caused
heart trouble. Rev. Gilmore will

CORRESPONDENCE.
Ihe texas Hotel.

While | don't wish to cast a re-
Election on any Of the hospltable
landlords at whose hands | have
received kind treatment since |
came to Texas, yet ! Just want to
tell you the kind of life a travelling
man lives down here; and | am not
sure that can do some Of these
Justice. A great many towns you
90 into yoa must find your own
way to the hotel which is nearly
always some distance from depot.
Sometimes they will ask you to
register and tell you what hour
suppey will be ready. | nave gone
to the dining room before now
where eight or ten persons were
stopping and you,could buy every
thing on the table for fifty cents.
Then you must spend the time be-
tween that hour and bed time as
best YOU can. in constant dread Of
the night before you. Nine times
out Of ten you will be stuffed into
some close room where five or six
persons havs to sleep and no air can
reach you even if there was breeze
stirring, which is seldom the case
in these Texas towns. If you were
ever near by when bees were
swarming that will give you some
idea Of the mosquito song during
the night, some Of them almost as
large as a wasp. They are apt to
stick closer than a brother all
night; but alas, they are not the
worst company you have to con-
tend with. In a great many Of
these hotels you 20 t get fairly
stretched on your couch before the
innocent bug marshals his clan to
take the remaining blood the mos
quito has left. 1t is almost impos~
sible to find a comb, soap or towel
and seldom water in your room.
With all these before YOU, you can
not be surprised at anyone dreading
to see The night come.
/ wish | had fine and space to
give Won in detail some of the arti-
ces that make up the table Of these
hotels. In the first place the beef
We oct is not tit to eat If it was
well-cooked, which it never is.
You can see about these towns al
most any evening TWO or three COW
boys running in a yearling, per
haps have run it four or FIVE miles
with rope arouno tie horns and
this attached to the saddle. When
it won't drive they drag it. | have
seen them brought il with the
tongue out almost ready to drop
dead. They are batchered at once
and the beef sold for supper. It is
poor, black and tough, and a buzz
gard would almost turn from it iii
disgust, When they want to give
you a change from beef they put
you on goat meat. something new
er expect to ext if know it. We
get no milk down here. Very Of
ten when they do La e butter on
the table you can only get it with
spoon. I have never as much as
seen cream since came to the
State. A man gets very little az
tention around these hotels until
the time comes to collect the board.
Then you can always find the land
lord to take Your money for that
which you never got. }. n. e.

Keep The Children at Home.

Edenton is no worse than
other places of its size, nor is it
an exception to the general rule
laid down in the following from
the Madison Observer. 1t says:
THE most degenerating practice
of modern times is that of allow
Ing youths to run on the streets
at night completely outside of
parental restraint. This practice
prevails i'll nearly every town in
the country. Give the children
good literature to read, and keep
them away from boys who con-
gregate at places to tell smutty
jokes. The whole matter may
be summed up i'll a few words:
make home attractive and cults
vate taste in the boys for better
things"

sriculture.

Agriculture is the parent of
arts, not because it was the first,
but because all other arts are it's
legitimate offspring and cannot
exist without it. It is the great
business of civilized life and
gives employment to vast ma,
jority of almost every people.
The substantial, enduring pros
perity Of the State is always III
the ratio of its agricultural in
dustry and wealth. Commerce
and manufacture may give TENS

We are indebted to Mr.. A. II.
Rogers, of Boston, Mass, for a
copy of the Post containing a
description of the colony recent
1y established in Moore county,
North Carolina. by Mr.. James
w. Tufts, of Boston, as a winter
home for invalids and persons
whose delicate health cannot
stand the rigors Of a northern
winter, and whose purses will
not allow them to seek the ex>
pensive hotels.
When Mr.. Tufts purchased his
his town site last June it was
wilderness. Immediately he set
at work a small army Of work
man, entered into negotiations
with Friedrich Law Olmstead
the landscape gardener, and Ell
gagged All architect. To-day he
owns a model town, comprising
twenty-five modern dwelling
houses, a modern hotel and a
splendid casino.
Mr.. Tufts has named his town
Pinehurst, and, as it is about
seven miles from the railroad, is
building an electric road which
will be completed soon.
This praiseworthy venture
which the gentleman IS so sue
cessfully carrying out, will nc
doubt prove a great benefit to
ailing people of moderate means

FANNIE LOU BUNCH.
By i FRIEND.

All that sympathetic medical
care could do was done. All
that tender nursing could do was
done-Nothing was left undone.
Death is relentless and irwin
chile. His sway is universal.
His cause never weakens. Death
never surrenders. The sun and
the stars will die sometime. All
the flowers fade. The brightest
and best things of life leave us,
sometime.
On the I4th of November
Fannie Lou Bunch died-Thls
is a commonplace remark to
many. But to others it means
everything desolate. Everybody
knew her. She was a bit OF
sunshine, starlight ify you will
at any rate there was a sugges-
ton of unearthliness about her
brightness. Her spirit was con-
tagious. She attracted those
whom she met. They did not
forget her. She was everything
to her mother Husband, Father,
Mother, Daughter,-And to the
others the home light, the best
beloved.
All we'll enough for Fannie
Lou! But for these only the
pain of it all, the bitter pain.
And not to these only-The
school children, her play1nates.
were subdued and quiet at their
books.
There is no colnplaint-God
knows best.
God wanted her where his little ones meet ~
Said the children up in heaven;
''She shall play with us in the golden street,
She had grown too fair, she had grown too sweet
For the earth we used to live in;
She needed the sunshine, this dear little girl
That gilds this side ofthe gates ofpearl,"j
Said the children up In Heaven.3
Fly with her quickly Angel dear -
Said the children up in Heaven.
"See! She is coming: Look there! Look there!
At the Jasper light on her golden hair
Where the yelling clouds are riven-
Oh, hush, hush, hush The swift wings furl,
For the X ing himself at the gates Of pearl
Is taking her hand, dear tired little girl;
And llading her into Heaven.
