From the New York Herald.
When a hypocrite is dying, the
devil picks out the fattest calf in the
herd for a barbecue, and orders
mass meeting for iubllation.
Do the square thing, and don't try
to please everybody. The noblest
men must needs have enemies as well
as friends. A cast iron creed is well
enough in it's way, but l would
rather be creedless and honest than
believe all the creeds that were ever
written and cheat my neighbor in a
horse trade.
Says a religious contemporary,
Nothing is more true than that
seeking first the kingdom Of God and
His righteousness secures rything
else" True, but if you do the seek
ing for the purpose of getting
''everything else" you are worse
than heathen.
.'There is a time for all things"
but not, for most of US, a time to be
rich.
Don't growl because this world is
a bad one to live in, but follow the
advice of grouty old Carlyle, who
said: "Make yourself an honest
man, and you will be sure there is
one less rascal on the footstool."
The Salvation Army holds meet
ings every night in the year, and the
annual attendance is said to be more
than sixteen millions. | used to
laugh at the army, but l do it no
longer. Let them keep their queer
uniforms and beat their horrible
drums at the street corners. They
are hauling drunkards out of the pit
and doing good i'll a thousand ways.
We were sorry when they came, they
were such eccentric folk, but we
should be doubly sorry if they were
to go, for we have learned to ap
preciate them. Sound the timbrel |!
Unfurl your banners! Sing your
songs, and shout with all your
might. You are simply doing the
right thing in a queer way.

Remarkable Admissions.
Wilmington Messenger.


There is hope for full restoration
of peace in this country between the
sections. The recent meinora BILE
demonstI ations at Chicamaus and
at Atlanta give token of better
understanding and genuine iriend--
ship and good will. But there are
other evidences of a better feeling in
the North. Col B b Iugersoll made
an address recently on the gre it War
and it's causes. He admits much as
to the rectitude and Justice of the
cause the South so ardently and
bravely espoused He admits what
the South believed and fought for
through five years-the constitu
tional right of separa ion-the right

broken. That admission makes the
South right in the legal aspects of

more candor, a clearer understand

probation of the constitutional idea

But there comes still another con-
cession from this great section.
Theodore Roosevelt is politician and
author-one of those execrated
Literary fellers" that some Western
er was wont to wither with cuss
words. He has written and publish
ed lately a life OF one of North Caro-
lina's most famous and ablest men
Thomas Hart Benton, born in
Orange county and for thirty years
United States Senator from Missouri
Mr.. Roosevelt makes a remarkab ble
admission as to the real superiority
of Southern generals and the soldiers
they commanded. He says i'll the
life of Benton:
"The decline of the militant spirit
in the Northeast during the first hall
of this century was much to he
regretted. To it is due more than
to any other cause the undoubted
average individual inferiority of the
Northern compared with the South
ern troops-at any rate, at the
beginning of the great war of the
rebellion.
The world has never seen better
soldiers than those who followed Lee;
and their leader will undoubtedly
rank as without any exception the
very greatest of all the great cap
tains that the English speaking
peoples have brought forth, and this
although the last and chief of his
antagonists, may himself claim tC
stand as the full equal of Mari
borough and wellington"

dress, does not believe that very short
skirts will be adopted. He is reported as
saying:
The most sensible and comfortable
wheeling costume consists of three pieces
trousers, skirt and coat or jacket. The
trousers are made very much like the
regular habit trousers, and are much less
clumsy than bloomers. They come just
below the knee. and are buttoned around
tight. Skirts are made in three styles
tight, medium and very full, according
to the figure of the customer.
AS far as waists go, there is an oppoc-
tunity for some choice in the matter,
but the one, two or three button cuta-
way coat is the most popular, single
breasted, of course. A cotton or TX shirt
waist can be worn with a coat which
can be readily removed if the wearer be-
gins to get too warm. Many persons pre-
fer norfolk jackets, however, and they
do not look well on the road. Short,
faring coats are also much used.
The best material for these costumes
is melton and the best color gray. Pep
per and salt expresses it more nearly.
Blues and browns show the dust, but the
gray does not. Another thing about the
melton, it is less likely to be caught up
: in the pedal than any other material and
stands the wear and tear for long time
Many ready made suits are sold for
cycling costumes. The girl rider with
little money, butwith much leisure, buys
material and patterns and has her suit
made at home. Sweaters are becoming
quite popular with the women, and they
come now in very pretty cross stripes
with immense sleeves. They have row
of buttons on each shoulder and can be
easily slipped ON and off. Those who
have adopted them say that they give
with the motion of the body and are de-
cidedly comfortable.
Great latitude in caps and hats is per-
missible.
Russet boots are the correct thing, and
their chief essential must be low heels
They come in three styles-low, medium
and very high. The medium are the
most popular, as most women find those
reaching nearly to the knee clumsy.
When wearing these, 1eggings are un-
necessary, but this is more Of disad-
vantage than otherwise.

Little Miss Goodenoueh.

That is the name of baby buffalo
born in the Buffalo park not SO very
long ago. The mother was brought from
Texas to Buffalo from ranch owned by
Mr.. Goedenough, and that is why the
baby has such long name. The baby
weighed 100 pounds. It did not have to
learn to walk, but ran and jumped about
as lively as a little calf. As writer in
the New York Examiner explains, baby
buffa1oes do not have the dark fur of
their mothers. Their hair is almost yell
low in color and finely curled- It takes
nine days before cats open their eyes,
but little Miss Goodenough had her eyes
wide open from the first and looked
about the pretty park as happy as If she
were out on some broad xas1ch.

The swell woman possesses half a
dozen sets of collarettes and revers

these are either basted over or under
the ordinary coat revers or are made
to button on at each side; in this
manner one may add a touch of
gayetv to the somber outing suit of
blue or black. Black and white silk
in small checks is quite effective;
then there are white satin revers,
overlaid with lace, or pique revers.
the latter always imparting an air
of freshness and neatness to the
costume. These pique revers may
also be made in pale blue or navy,
red. etc. The striped and dotted
stuffs are frequently used for this
purpose. A waistcoat to match i'm
parts an air of unity to the costume.

the famous 101, and though it was
queer looking boat it was a success in
that it would carry more freight than
any other craft of the same cost. At

that Georgia is now keeping her
smokehouses at home instead Of in

Georgia sales of imported meat have
dropped off S5 per cent. and of i'm
ported corn II per cent. During the
current business year much LEES meat
and corn than eyer will be lrought
into Georgia, and the day is not far
distant when the State instead of
sending away for her meat and corn
will have a large surplus of those
articles to sell.

But you haven't t left your bedI''
Later still, as sunset painted
All the sky rosy red,
She exclaimed, Now tea is ready.
But you haven't & left your bedf,'
Then fisherman came dredging,

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.

The Balloon Ball Game For Girls-A Bur
Game For Everybody.
There are many ball games, but one
especially suited for girls is the "ba1-
loon ball, played with bats and bounc-
ing india rubber balls within a large
circle chalked ON the ground. The mo-
ment the ball bounds outside this line it
may be seized on by any onlooker, and
the player must instantly give up the
bat and take turn outside the ring, into
which her playmate steps, keeping a
sharp lookout in case the ball should
bound or roll her way, which it may do
at any moment.
Everybody knows about "blindnan' s
buff, but there is another "buff" of
quite different kind. 1t can be played
as game, and it is also often used as
a forfeit buff. 1t is very useful when

FUMIGATlON OF MAILS.
Opening of Yellow Fever Season Leads
Officials to Take Action.

Opening of Yellow Fever Season Leads
Officials to Take Action.
New York, April 30.-The beginning
of the yellow-fever season in the tropi-
cal portions of Central and South
America and the West Indies has re-
vived the annual question as to the
danger of infection being conveyed to
the United States in letters or newspa-
pers mailed from those countries. The
New York health authorities have re-
uuested that all mails from tropical
countries shall be fumigated before dis
tribution.
The immediate cause of the request
was the recent arrival in New York
of a mail steamer from Brazil, one Of
whose crew died of yellow-fever on the
voyage north. Postmaster Dayton in
forwarding the health authorities re-
quest said that he did not know the
exact extent of his powers, and asked
instructions. Personally he regarded
the chance of infection as exceedingly
small.
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Nelson replied today that in view OF
the small expense and labor involved
and the amount of loss and grief that
might be occasioned by only one death,
it seemed to him advisable to begin a
system of fumigation of mails from
tropical countries during the yellow
fever period. This extends from JAN
uary to September.
Mr.. Nelson invited suggestions from
Mr.. Dayton on the subject before issu-
ing any orders in the matter.

ANOTHER ON DURRANT
sensational Evidence Said to
Have Been Discovered.
A DOCTOR GIVEN AS AUTHORITY
The Alleged Murderer Said to Have
Induced Child Into the Belfry
and Ruined Her.

San Francisco, April 30.-Another
sensational rumor is afioat regarding
Durrant, the accused murderer of two
girls IN Emanuel church, and should
the rumor prove true it would throw
much light on the murders. This re-
port comes from an Oakland citizen
who AYERS that high official of that
city has communicated to Chief Crow
ley statement that a San Francisco
physician had informed an Oakland
fellow practitioner that some time ago
he had been called on TO attend, pro-
tesslonaly, 15-year-old girl, daughter
OF San Francisco man, who claimed
that she had been lured to the belfry of
Emanuel church and ruined by Dur
rant. The physician, it is said, be-
cause of the ethics of the profession,
had not informed the police hitherto.
Chief Crowley was asked this evening
AS to the truth of this rumor. He first
evaded replying and then said the police
had found no such doctor. When
pressed for a positive answer Chief
Crowley refused to either affirm or deny
the report.
A blood spot has been found on the
knob of the door of Pastor Gibson's
study. The police do not attach any
Importance to it, however. 1t is not
sufficient to prove connection with the
murder of Blanche Lamont or that of
Minnie Williams The spots are ON
the inside of the knob which is on the
outside Of the door. In fact it is not
surely known whether the spot is of
blood. The police say there is nothing
to show when the spot was placed there
and that it would be evidence of no
value. In fact it may have been put
there by friends of Durrant or some
unknown persons DESTROYS of creating a
sensation. Durrant is supposed to have
gone into the pastors study the night
of the Minnie Williams murder for a
chisel in the table there in order to pry
open the belfry door, SO that he could
take Minnie Williams body upstairs
and place it beside that of Blanche La
mont. Failing to do this he took back
the chisel and in opening the door may
have left the supposed spot Of blood on
the knob.
