IRELAND'S HERO.

Robert Emmet was born in Dublin in 177S. He was school fellow of the poet Thomas Moore, and both great champions of the popular side. In 1798 Emmet was expelled from the university on the ground of being connected with the Association of United Irishmen. He soon afterwards went to the Continent, remaining there until 1902, when he returned secretly to Dublin and eDdeavored to plan general Irish revolution. On the 23d of July, 1903,
 thinking that the time had come to execute his scheme, he made an attempt to seize the arsenal and castle of Dublin, but his men were fired on and dispersed. Emmet fled to the Wicklow mountains, and per. ceiving that success was impossible at that time, resolved to escape to the continent; i; but, contrary to the advice of his friends,
 he determined to have a last interview with the lady to whom he was attached, the daughter of Curran, the barrister. The delay proved fatal to him. He was appre-
 hended and committed for trial on the charge of high treason. He defended him.

 but was condemned to death, and on Sep tember 20, 1903, was executed in St. Thomas street, Dublin. Moore, in one of the most pathetic of his Irish melodies, 70, breathe not his name,'' commemorate Emmet's fate, and that Of Miss Curran, who died in Sicily soon alter him, is the subject of an-

 Their eyes and intelligence seize upon and comprehend blocks of words and even lines by series of spasmodic leaps, as it were, after each one of which there is q pause of very short and hardly perce ble duration. Those who have been obliged to read very quickly, such as readers of man. uscripts, and especially professional critics of second-class literature, are perfectly we'll aware of tais faculty. Such men often read through and judge several volumes in day, fact which would not be possib be if they had to read each word of every sen- tence. It is not well done, as pr.

A SEVERE WINTER
THE CAUSE OF SUFFERING AND AN IN-
 GREASE OF DISEASES.

THE CAUSE OF SUFFERING AND AN IN-
 CREASE OF DISEASES.
 This winter has been the most severe for many years. North, south, east and west intense cold and blizzards have prevailed. This will surely cause a great increase of sickness and deRth. Chronic catarrh and consumption always begin by catching cold. Thousands have started on the TO ad toward lifetime of misery from chronic catarrh or sure death from consumption. It is not too late yet to be saved and re- stored to life of health and activity. Pe- ru-na will do 1t. It never fails to quickly cure chronic catarrh less than two years old. Of course Pe-ru-na cures thousands and thousands of cases of chronic catarrh that have run for many years, but in cases that are oi more recent origin it cures quickly, certainly and permanently. Every case of cold or cough that has resulted from the effects of our severe winter could now be cured in a short time by Peru na. Not single one need fail.
 All those taking Peru na who desire the advice of Dr. Hartman about their cases should write, giving age, sex, disease and time of sickness, and he will answer free. A few weeks treatment now will prevent years of suffering, and in many cases death. Address the Peru na Drug Manu- featuring Company, Columbus, O., for free book on catarrh, colds, coughs, la grippe and consumption.

THE CAUMIc CAUCASIAN.

The Caucasian is daily paper published at Raleigh, N. C.. by Marion Butler, the Popullst Senator. Butler owed his election to the Senate to the combined vote of the Popuists and Republicans. It-would seem natural that he should indorse the action of the Populists and Republicans in passing the Douglass resolution, but not so-in fact bis paper says the account teiegraphed to the press was not True. It says:
 So far as the statements about the North Carolina Legislature go, the Cauc asian has shown ihem to be utterly false, and the Lower House of our Legislature has placed the brand of fasehood upon both the statements and the authors of them.
 In commenting on the Atlanta negroes who advocated miscegenation, social equal ity and revenge on the whites, the Caucas- ian says:
 If the statements in the above dispatch are true. the negroes of eorgia. some of them at least, are much larger fools than we have taken them to be. Such utterances those above are criminal in the extreme and deserve to be sternly ffowned down by all good people of both races.
 These alleged utierances of Georgia negroes are only a little less criminal thLn the persons who invent ed and started tEe monstrous lies about our Legislature.
 The Caucasian seems to be true to it's name. It is additional evidence indicating that the coalition in the South between the Populsts and Republicans will not bs nermanent.

THE utteIances of the negroes at the Douglass meeting in Atlanta contrasted very unfavorably with the expressions of the negroes at their conference in Tus- kegee. At the former meeting the speakers talked of revenge, poisoned coffee, social equality, miscegenation, etc. At the latter no such infammatory utterances were ht ard, and if there was any hint at social equality it was agreed that the negro must achieve it by becoming worthy of it-by in- spiriug the whites with respect for them- selves, by the development of themselves and the influence of education which would gradually wear off prejudice that could never be argued away, by raising more corn to the acre than the white farmers and thus bringing them to the field to see how it was done, by better housekeeping, better morals, etc.

HE New York Sun, speaking of Wash ipgton, says: "No other nation has Its national hero and legendary character. !" The Sun evidently made this misstatement for the purpose of attracting attention. Every nation has its idol-Norseland its Thor, Switzerland its William Tell, Scot land its Robert Bruce, France it's Napoleon. England its Cromwell, Russia its Peter the Great, Germany its Bismarck, Poland its Kosciusko, Hungary its Kossuth, Ireland it's Robert Emmet, Prussia its Frederick the Crest, Mexico its Maximilian and America its Washington. There is pe- culiarity about Washington's character, however, not possessed by the other heroes it has not called forth the genius of the poets in his praise. There was something too cold about his character to warn. into life roetic fires. He was like highly poll ished marble shaft-too smooth for the ivy of the affections to cling 'round it.

IT is characteristic of the Southerner to look on tue tright side of hings. His sunny climate gives him chee.fdl dispo- stion. He is hopeful amid the most ap- palling calamities. Hence the heartiness with which the Southerners went to work after the war and the marvellous develop ment in a material way they have made. Hence the success of the Soulherners in New York, where they were brought in sharp contact with Yankee shrewdness. It has passed into proverb that the South ern speculator is alweys found on the "long' side in buying cotton futures-he is positive that cotton is going up. This hopsfulness may sometimes prove disad- vantage, as it certainly will if it causes the Southern planters to again plant a 9,000.- GOO bale cotton crop. In contrast is the Northerner's lack Of faith in the future he is always found on the "short" side; he is always ready to sell, fearing drop in the market.

capital stock amounts to $125,00O, and
that Solomon Gillett was the owner

plaintiffs against allowing Scheffer
the amount of salary stated, but that
no attention was paid 70 them.
The court is asked to require the Of
