do at o. Dumas.

Baltimore Sun, Nov. %
Alexandra Dumas, one of the most
distinguished of French litterateurs,
whose death occurred yesterday,
leaped into fame, when only twenty
four years old, upon the appearance
of LA Da ne Aux Camelias." That
novel and the play taken from it
have been translated into every
civilized language. Dumas was q
moralist, an analyzer, a dramatist,
q novelist, and realized the dearest
ambition of all Frenchmen when he
became an Academician. His works
touch mostly upon the relation be-
tween vice and virtue viewed from
the position of that "half world"
of which we have never had in this
country anything approaching the
French type. 1t is not always easy
to understand the motive of his
work. He saw that certain phases
of French society led to vice, and in
this he taught g. lesson that was not
without value. But he never, SO it
was said of him, understood virtue,
and could rarely treat it without
satirizing it. He was q gifted son of
an illustrious sire, whose name ia
said to be on the title page of over q
Thousand volumes.

"HEART OF AMERICA"

Referrlng TO the contrast DoUWeeu
the Atlanta Exposition and the
Worlds Fair in the matter of SUD
day observance, the Ladies' Home
journal, one of the most widely
| circulated of the Northern periodi-
| Gals, takes occasion to pay the fol-
lowing glowing tribute to the moral
| ity and reverence for sacred things
| in the South:
'No truer words can be uttered
| than those which say that if we
| would find today the American peO-
pie at their best, where men and
women are guided in their actions
| by wholesome sentiment, where peO-
| pie live righteousiy, and where the
best of our customs are perpetuated
and lived every day, where our own
language is spoken by all, where
| hearts beat to the most loyal
national sentiments, and where the
people can be trusted to uphold
what is highest and most lasting in
| our national life-we must turn to
the South. How Sunday should be
] kept, or the manner in which it
should be kept, or the manner in
which it should be observed, does
not trouble the Southern people.
Their respect and honor for the day
are too great and deep-seated to
question it's sacredness. They do
| not question Divine laws in the
South; they accept and perpetuate
them. Intellectual progress there
| goes hand in hand with strict adher
ence to the accepted beliefs of IT.
l.gion. The Southern mother does
not explain the Bible to her children
ia the light of SO called modern
teachings;;' she places it in their
hands as her mother gave it to her
| And with the fundamental principles
of religion the Southern child is
taught patriotism and a love of
country; hence religion and patriot
| ism stand side by side in the educa
ton of Southern child. The south
ern people believe in progress, but
| progress along healthy, rational
| lines Theories which mentally upset
| find no sympathy with them. They
are content to move slowly but
sanely and surely. And some day
when the vast majority of US who
| live in other portions of the country
get through with our camping out
civilization, when we drop our boast
fui manners, when we get old enough
| to understand that there is strong
hold of conservatism which stands
between tyranny and anarchism, our
eyes will turn towards the South
And we will see there people who
are American in ideas and in living;
a people worshiptul, progressive,
earnest, courageous and patriOtic-a
people who have made of their land
against defeat and prejudice, the
heart of America
The above kind expressions will
awaken sense of appreciation in
every true Southron who reads them
They are in striking contrast with
the utterances OF the bloody shirt
tribe who delight in abuse and in
tanning flames of sectional prejudice
for personal or political purposes.
AL hoEor to Edwin w. Box, the fair
minded and generous hearted editor
of the Ladies' Home Journal.

IT is said that Southern Republi-
can Congressman are sorrowful over
the poor prospect of securing office
for their constituents in the reorgan-
ization of the House. Tom Settle is
reported as saying that Kentucky,
Tennessee and North Carolina de-
serve recognition, but they will get
nothing" The Washington CORE
spondent of the Atlanta Constitu
ton says Tom looked "as solemn as
a blue heron in a bog" There is
quite parallel between the relations
of Northern and Southern Republl-
cans and the relations of North
Carolina Republicans and Populists,
the former having but little use for
the latter except when deal is help
full in securing spoils.

Changing Styles.
Washington Post.

Washington Post
Skirts are to be trimmed aga in
soon, SO it is said, and an Indication
of the change comes in the appear
ance of skirts made of lowered
material. These are worn with plain
colored bodices, which is an innova,
ton, but it must be said that the
fiaring skirts of the present look
very well when carried out in q
material all sprawled over with some
effective design Cashmeres are being
shown in LACK ground with flowers
of the old fashioned rose kind. These
patterns are quite like what is shown
in silk, and dresses made of this
material may be lined with silk in
the brightest shade shown in the
flower and bit of lace may be held
in place by several straps of ribbon
to match the lining of the skirt.
The result is a very pretty gown with
quite catchy and modish effect at
no great outlay.
Those to whom the Empire dress
is becoming may still indulge in it,,
and will find it especially suited to
the new brocades One model that
is carefully adapted to the latest
mandates of fashion is constructed
from striped brocade, plain satin,
and lace. The bodice is low necked
in the back, and fits to little below
the shoulders, while in front it points
down to a little short of the waist
line. The skirt is set on the bodice,
following the slant downward from
the back to the front. just this
little slope gives the grace and slen-
derness that the usual Empire oblit-
crates. The skirt comes around to
either side of the point of the bodice
In front, leaving the little point to
rest, schumacher fashion, on the under
edges of the opened skirt. This pet
ticoat is of plain satin, festooned
with lace. A stomacher of lace,
either woven or cut to shape is
applied over the point of the bodice.
The sleeves are not extremely latge,
and the edge of the low neck is set off
by a fiat and fitted collar of lace.
The general effect is a very pretty
combination of the Empire with the
petticoat and stomacher idea, and is
extremely becoming to folks who
need to emphasize their height.
Lace is more used than ever, and
the idea of cutting up one lace to
applique its design upon a net OF
a contrasting color is carried out
with all sorts Of grotesque and elab-
crate effects. Lace patterns thus cut
out of their mesh are also laid over
silk or over sh ort-nap. fur and held
in place by an outline stitchery OF
metal thread with very beautiful
effect. A newer favorite among
trimmings is white satin, which is
seen on every hand and with all sorts
of management.

NORTH CAROLINA EXHIBIT,
An Interesting Feature in the Mining

Atlanta Journal
The North Carolina mineral ex
hibit in the Mining and Forestry
building, which has just been award
ed a gold medal, is as it was planned
to be, practicable one throughout.
The rare species and fancy specimens
have been left at home, and the
materials which make up the exhibit
here have been selected from the best
known workable deposits of iron,
gold, silver, copper, coal. corundum,
kaolin, stone, and other geological
products.
Tne more important mines are
indicated on geographi ,sl maps and

cies in the Windows over the exh bit,
and colored chart, 24U feet long,
shows the various geological forma-
tiOns across the entire state, includ-
ing valuable mineral deposits in the
mid lie aud western counties, and
artesian water supplies in the eastern
counties
An Important feature of these
North Carolina exhibits is that their
labelling, give "a educational value
not elsewhere sen The exhibits
themselves tell the whole story.
Thus the monazite exhibit-the rare
mineral used in the manufacture of
the new Welsbacli gas burner, shows
the rock and soil in which the min
eral occurs; large photograph trans
parencies in the window and a com
plete mining outfit show the methods
of MINING and washing the sand, and
the illumination of the building with
Welsbach lights completes the
exhibit A similar completeness
characterizes the phosphate. iron,
gold, kaolin. and other exhibits.
The building stone collection includes
marble, serpentines, quantities. and
granite, of all colors, texture, and
sandstone in great variety and the
large carved vase and doorway of
brownstone, from Sanford, N G.,
shows a perfection of stone and
workmanship rarely met with any
where.
In gems and gold nuggets the
North Caroliaa collections su pass
those from any other State Indeed,
in the gem collection for the whole
South, North Carolina contributes
more than half of the entire exhibit
In the forestry end of the building
the Old North State has an exhibit
of specimens OF valuable woods and
photographs and maps, such as
shows up her wonderful forest re-
sources in good shape. Here, as
elsewhere, Killers fine trausparencies
Of North Carolina landscanps show
off to good advantage. We are
glad to see that this forestry exhibit
gets a medal also.

HIS SKIN AN AR NOR.

London Daily Graphic.
In Berlin Singalese battles all in
vestigations by physicians by the
impenetrability of his skin. The
bronzad Fastener, a hercules in
shape, claims to have found an
elixir which will render the human
skin impervious to any metal point
or sharpened edge of knife or
dagger, and calls himself the "Man
with the Iron Skin" 1t is true that
it has been impossible to even
scratch his skin with sharply pointed
nails, with finely ground knives and
daggers He is now exhibiting him
self, and his greatest feat is to pass
with his entire body through a hoop,
the inside of which is hardly big
enough to admit his body and is
closely set with sharp knife points,
daggers, nails and other equally
pleasant trifes. Through this hoop
he squee zes his body with absolute
impunity. The physicians do not
agree as to his immunity, and some
of them think that Rhannin, which
is his name, is a fakir who has by
long practice succeed in hardening
himself against the impressions OF
metal upon his skin. The professors
of the Berlin clinic, however, consid
cred it worth while to lecture about
the mans skin, pronouncing it an
inexplicable matter.

SILVER as LEGAL TENDER.

Sundays Charlotte Observer, tax.
ing issue with the contrary state
ment, asserts that "silver dollars are
an unlimited legal tender, that they
have all the legal tender qualities
that gold has," and in support OF
the assertion quotes the law, which
is as follows:
"Be it enacted, etc., That there
shall be coined, at the several mints
of the United States, silver dollars OF
the weight of four hundred and
twelve and q half grains troy OF
standard silver, as provided in the
act of January the eighteenth,
eighteen hundred and thirty seven,
ON which shall be the devices and
superscriptions provided by said act;
ID which coins together with all
silver dollars heretofore coined by
the United States, of like weight and
fneness, shall be legal tender, at
their nominal value, for all debts
and dues, public and private, except
where otherwise expressly stipulated
in the contract.
we dSICC WIN Jul y
that the law is very plain and that
under it silver is a legal tender
Except where otherwise expressly
stipulated in the contract" but we
have an impression that the law was
disregarded and the legal tender
quality of the silver dollar was .'cut
out" when the administration as
sumed the prerogative of meeting
certain obligations with gold and
gold only when said obligations
were payable in s'coin"-either gold
or silver, or both-and thus practi-
cally limited the legal tender quality
of silver and instituted policy
which is a continued menace to the
Treasury reserve and the govern
ment's credit and necessitated re-
peated bond issues, out of which
concentrated wealth has accumula-
ted still more millions at the expense
of the people.
We do not know all about the
currency question, as our gold bug
friends will readily admit, and if our
impressions are not correct we ask
to be set right.
