A Washington letter to the Graham
Cleaner gives the following interesting
item concerning Mr.. E. P. Lewis work
"Mr. Exum Percival Lewis, of Edge
combe county, n. c., takes his degree
OF Ph. ID. at the Johns Hopkins Uni
verslty, Baltimore, June 18th. His
thesis, which is said to be the ablest
and most original submitted to the
Faculty, will be published IN the next
issue Of the Astro. Physical Journal of
Chicago. The subject is the measure
ment of the wave lengths of the dark
lines IN the mira red of the metallic
spectrum. Dr. Lewis has worked hard
In Jhons Hopkins laboratory for several
years to measure these wave lengths
and was finally successful with the aid
OF a dollcately adjusted radlcrometer
and spectroscope. His work in this
direction has already been fayorablv
mentioned in Lord Keolin's Magazine,
GLASGOW, Scotland, the highest scientific
Authority In the world. Besides pur
SUNG his studies IN Johns Hopkins, he
has performed the duties of assistant
IN the Physical Iabratory at Johns
Hopkins, has lectured on Physics in
Columbian University and the Bliss
Electrical School of this city at night,
thus earning quite handsome salary
In the aggregate, while utilizing the
morning Tor his own investigations.

New Berne Journal.
Our young tOwnsman Mr.. James c..
Whaley showed us letter last night
written twenty-four years ago which
he had Just received from the dead let
ter office.
The letter was written by his grand
mother, Mrs. Mary L. Whaley, October
a, 1871, to her son, Mr.. James G.
Whaley, father of the young man who
has just received it. 1t was while he
was in Philadelphia, youthful unmar-
red man. The writer Of the letter has
been dead five years and the one to
whom it was written, thirteen wears.
Where it has been all this time and
how it comes. to be returned at this
late day, can only be matter of con-
lecture
At the time the letter was written
the northern steamers from New Berne
were the Zodiac and the Ellen S. Terry
Both these boats are referred to in the
letter.

THE BIGGEST WHEEL.
The English are to Build One That
Will Surpass the Ferris.
Selected.

Selected
English writers inst now are gloatlng
over the fact that the great wheel
which is now being built at Earl's court
according to the plans Of Lieutenant
J. w. Graydon is to be considerably
larger than the Ferris wheel which was
shown at the Worlds fair in Chicago
The British wheel will be 300 feet IN
diameter, whereas the Ferris wheel
measured only 200 feet across. 1t Will
be able to hold 1000 persons, and the
Ferris wheel could accommodate only
1865 at time.
The big wheel at Earl's court is also
different from the Ferris wheel IN
resrect to the towers which support the
axle on each side OF the wheel. They
will be over 10 feet high, and fonl
stories will contain saloons and VIII he
connected with outside elevators as
well as staircases The steel axle, which
Is seven feet in diameter, Will have 9
passage through it.
OF course it Is expected that the
masses In London will avail themselves
OF this opportunity to enjoy ne"
recreation. The carriages and cars
will be SO arranged that each one vii
hold 40 persons and may be entered al
eight different places. Each turn O
the wheel Will take about 20 minutes
and there VIII be five stops. The whee
will probably be in operation some
time IN July or August.

Do the Best You Can.

Durhaut Sun.
Excuses for failure in duty are not
valid on the ground that more IS eX-
pected of us than we are able to per
form. Our business is to do the best
we can. with the means we have IN
hand, to feel and know we are right
and then go ahead with that diligence
that will make success possible.
If we fail, then we have that inward
monitor within, consciousness that
we have at least made an honest effort
to do what we could. There Is reward
in this.

fused by Operators.
IsHPEM1Na. Mich, July l6.-The de.
mand for an advance in pay has been
refused by the Negaunee mine opera
tors and the men have gone on strike.
The miners have been dissatisfied for
some time past and many of them are
very determined and may remain out
for some time. i
About 1000 Negaunee men marched
in a body to the Ishpeming mines at
noon. They proposed asking the 1sh'
peming miners to join them and in case
they refuse to force them to quit work.
The Ishpeming miners are satisfied as
a rule to continue work few weeks
longer in the hope of voluntary raise
on the part of the mining companies,
but the trimmers and common laborers
are much dissatisfied with their wages.
The demand of the Negaunee men il
for an increase Of 10 cents car on the
contract price and about Is per cent tc

ST. PAUL, July 15.-The crop of
grain now in sight in Northern Minne-
sofa and Northern Dakota equals the
phenomenal abundance of 1891, when
crops were enormous, but large losses
occurred because Of the scarcity of
men at harvest time. Northwestern
farmers are trying to profit by the les
son of delay that year by leaving moth
ing undone this year to properly care
for the crops, and this is only possible
by help coming from the outside. To
afford this assistance, will give men a
chance to visit this country and look it
over and pay their way by working in
