Let all Fare Alike.

Correspondence of Charlotte Observer.
After reading the communication In
Sundays paper from a correspondent
near Durham, feel 1t to be privilege
to add word on the same line: free
tuition by our high institutions Of
learning. Undoubtedly the forefathers
were not guided by observation or they
would nave abandoned long ago the
preference shown to ministers sons in
the control of our colleges, both State
and private for it has become proven
bal that they are no more apt to enter
the ministry than the sons of parents
belonging to other professions. Again,
1t becomes necessary to raise the tut
ton and other college dues on the sons
and daughters of all other professions
to meet the expense of this favored
class and again 1t raises a jealousy in
the feelings of other students toward
these preachers children. Serious OBJ
lection presents itself also against free
tuition to candidates for the ministry.
Boys too often allow themselves to be
guided to hasty conclusion, becom-
ing candidates for the sacred profes-
sion in order to get through college !;
whereas, when ripper years come on
they find they are not thoroughly con-
secrated al d consequently make a poor
preacher or fail to preach entirely. :.
I would not put an obstruction In
the way of any boy becoming minis
ter, for it is one of the burdens of my
prayers that some of my boys might
preach, but it lnculcates spirit of
paternalism in the minds of the
people which prevails too much now
adays anyhow. Let the ministers get
their salaries promptly and let the
various churches see to it, and let it be
made cause for judicial process against
a member If he does not pay his
preacher, and then let our colleges be
open to all professions alike.

When in the Country.

In an editorial in the July Ladies
Home Journal Edward w. Box dis
cusses s.When we are in the Country,
text he employs to show how far we
are departing from the purpose resi-
dents of cities used to have in going to
the country during the summer time.
Formerly going into the country meant
an escape from city conventionalltles
a living close to Nature, in the pure
air and bright sunlight; change OF
scenes. OF interests, and of pastimes
absolute freedom from the tyranny OF
fashion. Mr.. Box contends that this
has been entirely changed, and the
benefits of the summer outings have
been largely lost. Conventionalitles
have robbed the country OF its greatest
charm and the diversions, pastlmes,
the nervous rush and hurry of the city
have been transplanted to the country,
and Mr.. Box we'll says: eve cannot
afford to conyentionalize the country.
There is no truer saying than that
God made the country and man made
the town. and we ought to carry out
the spirit of those words. When we go
to the country let us get out OF it what
we 20 for rest, outdoor life and early
hours early, I mean, at night, as well
as in the morning. Let us live truly
in the country, and do as the country
people do. Let us dismiss, during the
only restful time of the year-as the
summer is to 90 many of us-thoughts
of dress, of indoor amusements, of mat
tiers of any kind that are apt to keep
the mind at work and the body indoors
Let us seek repose-somethlng which
80 many OF us need. Our life during
the winter makes us carry about with
us an air of distraction and nervous
worry. In summer let us cultivate Sc
renlty of manner. There is quiet
ness in leafy bower not to be had
anywhere else on Gods footstool. Ma
ture speaks to us unerringly amid such
surroundings. It is the absolute calm
and quiet of leisurely enjoyment which
30 many natures crave, and which
should be given them. And it is pos
sible to attain this In the country it we
will only seek for it and make up our
minds to nave it. Let us then use the
country in this way, forgetting for the
time being that there are such things
as dresses, as cards, dances, bazaars and
doilies, throwing our whole natures
into the spirit of our surroundings.
Then will we extract from Nature
what she is always willing to give us,
what God intended us all to have: the
calm and quiet of peaceful repose."

crowd became enthusiastic. Before they
were we'll Strengthened out for home,
Gentry was on even terms. but the big
black drew steadily away again until
nearing the right pole, where Andrews
hogan to drive, and IN a few strides
Gentry was head and head with the big
fellow, and the crowd shouted Gentry

tered and then went into the air ana
Patchen went under the wire an easy
winner. The time by quarters was:
:321a. :O3, 1:35 2:O51a.
The crowd anticipated that Gentry
would not break next heat The black

men present observing the action of each
horse concluded long before this neat
was finished that the race was over.

machine-like precision. Patchen won

WAS BURNED TO DEATH
PRISONER SUPPOSED TO HAVE SET
THE FIRE.
Both Hands and One Foot of the
Victim Were Almost Entirely
Burned OF.

Rockford Wash, July 4-John Pet
erson well known character here be-
came drunk and disorderly last night
and was lodged in the old jail
by Constable Bothaw. About an
hour after the agonizing yells of the
prisoner attracted the attention of
some boys who gave the alarm Of fire,
but before assistance arrived the black
smoke and flames were leaping through
the iron barred windows and Peter
sons cries for help were at an end.
Constable BOthaW was quite severely
burned while trying TO rescue the pris-
Oner.
The hose became entangled and it was
half an hour before the flames were eX
tinguished.
There was an iron bucket of water
in a corner Of one of the cells and it was
found that when the flames became un-
bearable the unfortunate inmate had
thrust his head into this and there died.
When the remains were rescued the
body was a charred piece of flesh, all
! the clothes being gone and Doth hands
and one foot almost entirely burned
/ off. The body was entirely unrecog-
nizable.
1t is supposed that Peterson set fire
to the straw mattress in his CELL hop
ing thereby to gain his liberty.

Grand Prix of the great Paris bicycle
tournament were run off today, and fully
$1,000 people were in attendance. Seven

ment, while the heats for the Grand Prix
revealed wonderful form by the foreign
ers, and especially the Americans, whose
waning reputation was fully re-estab-
lished by the days events. Kiser, to the
general surprise Of everyone, defeated
JacQuelin, the French champion, in the
first heat by wheel. Kiser led from the
start. Jacquelin following his usual tao
tics, left the lot at the last lap, and gain
ed five lengths. Kiser rushed after him
and gained at every stroke, covering the
quarter mile in n So.
The Grand Prix is one Of the chief
bicycling events in the European cycling
world every year. 1t is run under the

LIST OF BIMETALLIC COMMITTEE
Members of the National and State
Organizations.

Washington. July 2-The prevailing
idea all over the country that the silver
victories in the democratic primaries and
conventions have resulted without or
gan1Zation is erroneous. The general i'm
preston seems to be that the silver men
nave not been properly organized and
that their success mas Deen that of a
mob over disciplined troops. 1t is known
That silver conferences were held from
time to time last summer and that com
mittees were appointed. The most i'm
portant of these conferences was that
held at the Metropolitan hotel in this
city last August. The results where the
silver men have won have not been re-
garded as eccentric victories without
work
AS a matter Of fact the silver men,
through the efforts of the bimetallic DEM
ocratic committee, of which Senator Har-
ris is chairman, have had a thorough or
ganization in all the democratic states.
In some states they are organized even
uonal headquarters in this city from
which hundreds of thousands Of docu-
ments have been distributed.

Washington, July 3.--FOr the first time
tomorrow the flag Of the United States
will be f1oated with 45 stars on the blue
field, indicating the admission of Utah
to the sisterhood Of states.
General orders issued by the war and
navy departments have prepared the way
for the change, and for several months
the flag makers have been busy placing
a new star on the flags in stock. From
economical considerations, the old flags
will not be retired at once, but replaced
only as they are worn out in service.
