PROF. ALDERMAN AS A BIOGRA-
PIER.

Hon. A. Nj. Waddell, of Wilmington,
thus writes to the Messenger, concern
ing the address of Prof. Edwin A.
Alderman, at the Guilford Battle
ground celebration some time ago, on
the life of William Hooper, one Of the
signers of the Declaration of hide
pendenCe. We have not had the
pleasure of reading it but knowing
Prof Alderman's high ability, his
industry and patient research into all
matters OF historical interest which he
undertakes, We are quite prepared to
believe that the compliment paid him
by SO fine a scholar and finished an
orator rs Col. Waddell himself, is
entirely merited and well bestowed
Col. Waddell says:
l particularly desire to call the
attention of your readers to the finest
piece Of biographical literature that
has ever been produced by a North
Carolinian, and one which ought to
be especially attractive to Cape Fear
people, as the subject was one of the
leading spirits of the Revolutionary
period, and the author is Wilmington
man.
! refer to Edwin A. Alderman's
address at the Guilford Battle ground
on William Hooper, one of the signers
OF the Declaration of Independence.
1t is phamplet of sixty pages, with
anappendix, picture of Hooper, ETC.,
and is an elegant, scholarly description
of the best educated scholar and orator
of the day, by one of the most accom-
plished scholars and orators of his
own time.
Professor Alderman, who is professor
Of the Philosophy of Education at the
University, has by this address placed
himsel: in the front rank of American
writers, and has shown such capacity
for dealing with subjects like that
of this address as to make it his duty
to do still larger work for the honor
of his native State.
l am very proud of him as a North
Carolinian and Wilmingtonian, and
am very sure that all who read this
pamphlet will feel as l do on the
subject.

INDICATES SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

~
A correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Egening Star, greets the return OF his
(and everybody's) friend, Colonel +.
DOMAIN, from 4 recent trip to the South.
As 4 result of his travels and observa-
tons the Colonel reports that business
is on the move ali over that section,
or at least such portions as he visited.
Among other things Colonel Donan in
the course of his remaks to the cores
pendent in question, SAID:
Let me say to you, my Philadelphia
enthusiasts, and skcp,lc IN regard to
Southern progress, that among the
purest and most striking indications
Of the coming boom in the South are
the changes that are taking place IN
railway management down there, and
the notable character Of some Of the
men who are transferring their abilities
from Northern to Southern roads.
When such man as +. St. John, for
years General Manager of the great
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railway, leaves the field of his life
long labors and successes to begin
work in Dixie, it shows that the tide
of immigration and capital is unIns
takably turning from the West and
Northwest to the South.
There has been no ADLER man in
the railroad business in America than
Mr.. St. John. He was for twenty
years or more identified with the
Chicago x Rock Island, which, during
his connection with it, grew from an
insignificant little Illinois and iowa
local line to mighty system OF r'ii
way, thousands of miles IN extel' and
ramifying into twelve or fourteen
States and Territories. 1t has canned
hundreds of thousands OF settler, into
every part of the American West and
Northwest.
Mr. St. John is man Of tireless
energy and dauntless enterprise, an
educated gentleman who sleeps with
both eyes open in railroadlng. He is
a magnificent advertiser of any region
he is Interested in. | know it, for
I've worked with him. One curse OF
the South, one obstacle to its progress,
has been the moss backed old fogyism
of many of It's railway managers. They
have always run things on the most
picayunish scale. If St. John doesn't
speedily create rattling among the
dry bones in his region, set me down
as false prophet.

DIR. Moor took exceptional interest IN
him, earnestly implored him to break
the habit, and used his best endeay0rs

end The idea occurred to him that
possibly permanganate OF potash might
decompose morphine, which Is an or
ganic substance, and that by making

tient without restricting him from

ELECTRICITY From the stars.

Prof. Minchin has been developing
electricity from the light Of the stars,
and although the practical value Of
the achievement Is questionable, there
can be no doubt that It appeals strong
IN to the imagination and Affords an
0 portunlty for journalistic specula-
ton which Jules Verne might be ex-
pccted to take advantage o. Prof.
Minchin Is the inventor Of several
forms Of photo electric battery which
are excited when ray Of light falls
on them. One of these cells, consist
ing of solenium and aluminium plates
in oeanthanol, was attached % the eye
piece Of an astronomical telescope In
the Westmeath observatory, aud con
nected by wires TO a quadrant electro
meter. The light from the planet
Venus was concentrated by the tele-
scope ON the sens tive plate Of the cell,
which was three square nillimcters IN
area. and the amount Of elcctromo-
tive force excited I'm the cell, as meas
ured by the electrometer was ~ volt.
The experiment IS. at all events, ex.

some Trolley pntn.

The fact that the trolley Is cheaper
than the horse for traction work, and
that the public like It better, l. no
longer questioned. but none the less
are some figures which come from
Philadelphia Of Il months operation
Of a line where a trolley has just re-
placed the horse, Of interest. The $50
horses that were formerly used on the
road consumed in month two and a
half tons of hay, two tons Of cut hay
about 5000 pounds of feed aad two
tons OF straw. This, with shooting, cost
the company about $500. Onsetting
this, the coal consumed In the last
months working cost only $685.. n
clear saving by the trolley Of S3.915.
At this rate It Is not difficult 10 s,e
why trolley lines pay such handsime
dividends. But there Is still another
item. On an average eighteen men
were employed, around the stables
and in the car sheds in looking after
these $50 horses. Nearly all Of these
are now dispensed with, and the com
pany saves about $1,000 a month In
expenses. Furthermore. the travel has
increased about % per cent.

TWO HUNGRY BOA coSsrR1croRs.
One of Them Swallowed the other
Mt the London Zoo

One of Them Swallowed the Other
at the London Zoo.
Large numbers Of visitors went TO
the reptilehouse Of the geological gar
dors, Regent Park, to see the niue.foot
boa constructor who aut0m lticnlly swal-
lowed his brother. measuring eight
feet, says the London Telegraph. IT
appears he could not nelp IT, 4 Ligeon
was given to the long snake as an
evening meal, and another was banded
to the shorter one for tile sane TuT-
pose. The nine-foOter forgot al about
1t. Turning his head to the other side,
he came In contact with the hind quar-.
tiers of pigeon. but was apparently
unaware that the other end Of Il was
In the mouth of his companion. He
thought it was bit of his own bird
which he had omitted to eat, and leis-
urely began to swallow 1t. Unfortun-
ately, his palate was out Of order, and
he failed to recognize where the pigeon
ended and the other snake began, for
after he had got the remains of the
former In his mouth he calmly went on
swallowing his friend and companion
eight feet In. length. 1t was a case Of
put a pigeon in the slot and the
serpent will eat" Never has the prin-
ciple Of automatism had a more signal
triumph. 1t is a great pity the other
was not ten feet long. In that case
the eater would have had one foot to
spare, might have forced himself
through the other end, and in revenge
begun to cat the eater until they had
consumed each other AS 1t was the
victory went to the longer snake, and
the unhappy and unsuspecting eight
footer found scaly sepulcher In his
friends interior. 1t is not surprising
to hear that after the meal the gour-
mand's skin was for some time unduly
distended. Yesterday, however, the
boa constructor had nearly resumed its
ordinary size and was getting on as
comfortably as could be expected lnder
the circumstances. The keepers declare
that this peculiar example Of
snakophagy must have arisen from
mistake, because the two, during the
twelve months they had inhabited the
same apartment, loved each other
like brothers"
