Better Times "in the Air"

There is little room to doubt that,
aside from any buying that may be
due to more cheerful feeling than
that which has prevailed for several
years, there Is one reason why a
large increase of business this fall is
inevitable. People have economical
for two or three years and have
made their old things last as long as
possible The natural result has
been to leave consumers with worm
out stocks of all kinds of manufac-
tured goods Merely to replenish
the actual waste of one year causes
large increase in trade every
autumn; but now we are practically
making up for the wear and tear of
three years.
Besides this necessity, a healthy
growth of public confidence is a
contributing cause of renewed bust
ness activity. The approach of bet
ter times is felt to be Gin the air"
1t is so universal that-to use an old
illustration-it gathers force as a
snowfall gathers snow as it rolls.
This is a sentimental reason, OF
course, but it is none the less potent
on that account. Facts are rarely
as powerful as sentiment, because
their effect may be interpreted in
many ways; but when a immunity
once becomes imbued with a belief
that prosperity is coming there are
few who reason out the result The
majority hasten it's advance by tax.

RAILROAD NEWS.

Press dispatches bring a piece of
news that may result in placing
Winston-Salem on through line
from the North to the South by the
extension of the Roanoke & South
ern, as originally designed by the
projectors of that road.
The telegram referred to stated
that Thos W. King, Vice-President
of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
would start yesterday on trip of
inspection over the Roanoke &
Southern and the Cape Fear. &
Yadkin Valley lines and that ne
would be accompanied by Gen. John
Gill, receiver of the last named road
and Col. John A. Tompkins, an
expert accountant.
The telegram further states that it
is said that Mr.. Kings object in
making the trip is to examine these
railroad properties for the purpose
of determining the practicability OF
bringing them into a close alliance
with the Baltimore & Ohio, thus
| giving that road access to a large
section of the South and putting 1T
in position to make further connec-
tions and extensions in that section.
To extend the business of the
Baltimore & Ohio southwark by the
| Roanoke & Southern it will be neces-
sary to construct a road between
Lexington, Va, and Roanoke. a
scheme which has been heretofore
urged and surveys for which were
made some time ago.
We await with much interest the
result of Mr.. Kings tour of investi-
| cation

HER THIRTEENTH CHILD
Providence lnterfered and Kindly
Made 1t Twins

This is from the Westminster
Gazette: The ominous number 10,
which is still the cause of SO much
anxious perturbation from end to
end OF Christendom, has been "dis-
enchanted by happy providence"
says the Freie Rhatier, in "a village of
the Hinterrheinthal The brave moth
er of 81 family of II children found
herself about to become the mother
OF a thirteenth. The new baby,
whether boy or girl, was destined
beyond all doubt to life of ill luck.
The parents eagerly consulted all
the wise persons in the neighborhood
as to the possibility of averting the
disasters of a thirteenth child''
from the expected new citizen of the
world. They found miserable com
forters in all their friends, so they
were driven to the forlorn hope that
the child might be stillborn, and
thus escape this world, and GO
straight into the limbo infantium
when the mother suddenly gave
birth to-twins. The JOY of the
parents in the possession of Ia
children instead of the dreaded 13

SOME PATTI SALARIES.
The Queen of Song the Best Paid of
All Singers.


Chicago Herald
The enormous salaries that must
be paid operate artists for I'M the
chief element of cost in producing
a grand opera. For years Patti has
received from 81, 900 to So 900 for
every operate performance in Ameri
ca, and it is estimated that during
her entire career managers have
!! paid her not less than $4,000, 900, a
sum far greater than that accorded
to all of the Presidents of the United
States put together by a grateful res
public. At The outset of Nine. Pats
tbs career she was engaged by Stra-
kosch at salary of $500 per month
for the first year, 5000 per month
for the second year, $500 for the
third and 81 900 for the fourth, She
then visited London with Mr.. Gve,
under contract which brought her
$3.50 for each performance and from
that time the figures commenced to
climb rapidly, until she became, as
she has continued ever since, the
highest priced vocal artist the world
has ever known. With Patti in the
cast, supported by other artists of
high rank, and, of course, high pay,
the expense of an operate perform
ance never falls below $4,000 or
$4,000, tidy sum amounting to
more than the entire annual business
of thousands of thrifty shops and
stores IN Chicago. Patti has held
the record FIR price, and still holds
it. but there are others who haye
commonly received for each appear
ance more than the average of ex-
pert clerks and professional men.
| Nilsson, the star of the first Abbey
Company, was paid So, 800 Cor each
appearance, and IS it was necessary
for her to sing three or four times
every week, her income for each
week of the season equa ed the ane
nual salary of the chief justice of
| the United States. At the same
time Sembrich, who is now booked
| for the coming season, was paid
ST. 500 for each opera in which sh e
appeared, together with all her ex>
| penses, which the rumor of the time
| placed at an average sum of 81 400
per month, an amount quite suffi-
| GENTLY to sustain an ordinary family

An Inexpensive ParasoI.

A dainty parasol is not only an
addition but even a necessity to the
summer outfit. But, alas, the ones
we want are entirely beyond our
purse strings, as rule. Here is the
way to get Is fashionable and mex
pensive one at the same time: Strip
the frame of an old parasol of it's
present coverings. Get a handsome
piece of MORE silk, and taking the
old coveringfor a pattern, cut a new
MORE covering. Fasten this to the
umbrella, leaving the seams plain or
covering them with narrow beading
of jet. Let a large f1ounce of good,
black lace fall over the pardsol al
the bottom, and place large bow O
the MORE at the top of the parasol
And if well done, you have a genuine
creation of art and all your friends
will fancy you have an expensive
parasol.

ROAD PARLIAMENT.

The subject of road Improvement
is usually regarded as a very dry
and embarrassing ole to read about,
but it is one of very great import
ance to both town people and coun-
try people and, other things being
equal, that section is the most pros
porous which has the best roads.
Hence, it is a matter in which all
classes should take an active interest
and be ready to aid any movement
looking to road Improvement. We
glad to believe that the people OF
North Carolina are becoming more
and more interested in the subject
and that the signs point to better
roads in the future.
This subject will receive attention
at the Atlanta Exposition. We
notice that the Secretary of Agricul-
ture has issued a call for a road par
lament to be held in Atlanta, in the
hall of the House of Representatives,
on the 18th, 18th and 10Th of
October. under the auspices of the
Exposition. We trust that this
parliament will be largely attended
and that great and lasting benefit
will result therefrom.
The invitation to this parliament
is extended to State highway com.
missions, State and local road i'm
proveEent associations, commercial
bodies and boards of trade and
transportation, agricultural socie-
ties and farmers organizations,
universities, agricultural colleges
and en- ineering schools, societies of
civil engineers, humane societies, the
League of American Wheelmen,
carriage and bicycle builders associ-
ations, and all other organizations
or individuals especially concerned
or experienced in the improvement
of highways.
It will be seen that the invitation
is quite broad, embracing all who
are interested in the matter, and the
ideas that will be set forth, together
with the comparison of methods and
results, will be very valuable. We
are anxious that our immediate.

THE Raleigh News and Observer
says: "The stockholders of the n. c.
r. R. have humbly requested the
Southern Railway to complete the
Mocksyille & Mooresville branch.
Don't these stockholders know that
the directors of the N. C. r. r. leased
that property to the Southern last
week under a threat that unless the
lease were made the Mocksville
branch would be completed? The
Directors last week could have forced
it's completion, But yesterday their
word might have stood against the
world" today they are suppliants. J"
Our contemporary is mistaken in
attributing this action to the stock
holders of the n. C.. road. The
resolution referred to was adopted
by the stockholders of the N. G. Mid

Fashion Chat.

Washington Post.
The talk TO the effect that fancy
waists are going out of style entirely
looks like a big cry over very little
wool. 1t must have emanated from
Disconnected folks, anyhow, for few
styles have SO much to recommend
them. Certainly, no one item could
become IA bigger factor in enabling Il
woman with q small wardrobe to
dress as il she were possessed of a
dozen dresses. Such need not be
alarmed at the assertions about the
waning waists, for signs of decline in
this pretty fashion are slight, and,
even if they are to increase TO the
prophesied proportions, the progress
will be so slow that there vii. be time
a plenty to wear out Tie nice waists
now treasured as very lest. The
mere say SO of a few dissatisfied ones
surely will not be enough to put
aside garments that are so service
able and ornamental.
Here are some suggestions for the
fell gown: Choose a soft wool of
canvas weave in dull green or clear
brown as little newer than crepon,
make it with a Louis XVI coat in
moderate adaptation of the style,
set in a white wool loose vest,
heavily ruff1ed with fine ivory lace.
Let white wool cuffs turn back. Set
about the edge of the skirt band of
white wool overlaiG with lace, and
with narrow fur on the lower hem.
Such 81 dress will suggest the coming
Of tie new styles, and yet be modish
if the change comes slowly. 1t is
always a good plan to have the new
gown along the lines of change in
fashion, and take advantage of the
reduction in prices that change in
style always brings to re enforce the

HEALTH AND OFFICE.

There is a wear ard tear about
political life in these days which tells
upon the health Of the politician,
and when the politician becomes an
office-holder this result also follows,
unless the man has some soft berth,
such as tanning wild flowers in a
public park.
Many a man who goes to Wash
ington finds a burden he can scarcely
carry, and the worst of it is that the
more he tries to do his full duty the
unhealthier he is apt to be.
The men who become President of
the Republic do not live out their
expected time. Arthur ought 60
have lived twenty years, for he was
but 81 at his Inauguration, but he
lived only five. Grant should have
lived twenty-three years. but died
within sixteen. Johnson who should
have lived until he was IS, died at
the age of sc.
The curious fact is that every
President from Washington to
William Henry Harrison lived out a
period beyond what his expectation
of life was at the time of Inaugural
ton, while from 1841 no President
excepting two) has exceeded the
expectations of longevity. A life
insurance authority says that the
Presidential Office is becoming too
heavy burden for any man to
assume without almost certain
shortening of his life.
Modern Presidents die before their
time, and we dare say that such is
the rule with public men generally
who hold responsible and difficult
positions The tension is too great.
Job wished his enemy had written a
book. The modern Job may wish
that his enemy should be elected to
Office.

A GRAND WORK.

On our recent trip to the Eastern
part of the State, we happened to
strike the train that was bearing the
orphans of the Odd Fellows Orphan
age to their home in Goldsboro from
Wilmington, where they had enjoyed
an outing as the guests of the ira
ternity of that city. There were
twenty odd of these little folks and
we We're forcibly impressed by their
neat appearance, their good behavior
aud the spirit of contentment which
seemed to prevail among them.
The outing was greatly enjoyed by
the orphans and the occasion served
70 show what a grand work the Odd
Fellows are accomplishing through
the Orphanage, which was established
only few years ago. The proiec
tors of this institution and all who
have taken q lively interest in it
since its inception have builded wise
~ and we trust that a deeper and
more general concern will be mani
tested III this grand work, which so
practically demonstrates some of the
cardinal principles of this noble
Order.
We are glad that the Odd Fellows
of Winston Salem are among those
who have given the Orphanage
cordial support and if our friends
here could see the bright and happy
inmates of the home which they have
aided in providing, they would feel u
deep consciousness of qualification
that would lead to still greater
efforts in behalf Of the institution
It is a glorious thought that one
has been ms trumental in bringing
relief and contentment to those who
might otherwise have felt the paDgs
of want that sometimes visit the
motherlees and fatherless home. Let
the Odd Fellows of North Carolina
continue with igor and earnestness
their praise worthy efforts in this
direction.
