AN EVERY DAY TRAGEDY.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
The great purveyors of the
news of the world-the Metro
politan newspapers-are daily
filed with nutshell stories of
tragedies. We see them so often
that we do not ever pause to
think of the head-throbs and the
heart-rendings. which are caused
by the death scenes, the para.
graph references to which our
eyes skim over. But a New York
paper a day or two ago told a
story so sad, SO pitiful, so pa
thetic, that it has riveted the
attention. 1t was an account Of
a tiny life's last agony. A five
year old Brooklyn boy, Albert
Benz, in some naccountable way
contracted Eydrophobla. In spite
of all that modern medical sci
ence could do. he agonized forty
s%leepless hours in the hospital
before the Good Shepherd suf-
fered the little child to go unto
Him and rest. The constant cry
of the little fellow was: "Oh,
mamma, mamma, please comet"
But neither father nor mother
was allowed to See him, because
they were emotional people and
the doctor said it would not do to
let them come in. This is what
the sympathetic reporter, who
Witnessed the scene, wrote:
He knew he was going to die,
but he didn't know what death
was. He feared it. His big soft
black eyes looked into those Of
the white-gowned nurse appeal
ingly. She kept his lips moist
ened with damp cloths. He was
hungry. but food placed in his
mouth only strangled him. The.
sound of dripping water in an
adjoining room broughton spasm
after spasm, aud the faucet was
turned off hastily. When he be-
came calm he would take the
nurses hand in bis and stroke it
The mute appeal for help and
relief from his sufferings that
came into his eyes sent The tears
down the nurses cheeks. Don't
cry" he said to her once or
twice, III be mammals little
man. 1t don't hurt; dou't cry"
and for five minutes, suffering
though he was, he would try not
to show it-a pitiable effort that
would end in another spasm
worse than the last"
But the story is too unuttera-.
bly, sad to continue. The little
one died, aud now his father is
undergoing the Pasteur treat
ment, having, it is feared, con-
tracted the disease from the
kisses he showered upon his boy
on their way to the hospital.
The pity of it; the pity of it!

SAINT JARVIS DAY.
North Carolina is to Have a New
Commemorative Day.


Already we, as a factor of the
Union, are legally authorized and
enjoined to observe divers noli-
days. some religious, some pa.
triotlc, some nproariously hiIari-
oes. But we have not enough
holidays. We needed another,
but we didn't have sense enough
to find it out. But Governor
Jarvis. whose political telescope,
just before the last election, dis
covered a primary of the first
magnitude, now known as the
Jarvis Primary, has, in another
field, discovered the necessity
for a new holiday.
1t will lie known as Saint Jar
Wis Day.
On that day images Of the saint
will be reared in each free silver
mosque in North Carolina Toy
images of Doctor Mott, Marion
Butler and Senator Pritchard
may be arranged in triangular
form at the feet Of the image of
the patron saint, whose carved
likeness will be of towering,
heroic size. It is barely possible
that the three toys may be
grouped Immediately under the
right foot of the saint, the artis>
tic grouping not having been
definitely outlined.
On Saint Jarvis Day a silver
serpent will be lifted up in the
wilderness of financial sin for
the healing Of all fiscal wounds
inflicted by the golden calf
assumed to be the Bull of the
White House.
When the free coinage tail of
the argent serpent has twisted
from itself enough medicamert
to heal the fduciary decorations
made by the auriferous calf-the
Bull of the White House-then
the "sovereign' people shall
enter the mosques where the
image of the saint statuesquely
rears itself, and. then and there,
pray for a shower of free and
unlimited silver coinage, observ-
ing something of the manner and
form prevailing during a per-
sistent drought, when prayer is
made in religious assemblies for
furnishing earth that fairly
yells for a shower of rain.
All hail to Saint Jarvis Day..
In his letter announcing his
discovery of the necessity of
the day commemorative of Saint
Jarvis, it will be noted that Gov
ernor Jarvis sets forth substan
at least. that, on the day
in question, all ordinary affairs
should stand still; that Fitzsim-
mons should stop fighting; that
Joe Daniels and Jud Carroll
should proclaim a truce: that
Blount should separate
from his melodious voice
and not lecture; that Joe Cald>
well should lock himself up
where the public may not behold
his goldbug freakiness, and, in
short, that no we'll regulated
should ''bile" dinner on
that day.
Again, all hail to Saint Jarvis
day.

The trade papers say that
business looks a little better as

there is no radical change. Iron
and steel are in moderate de-
mand, but the iron and steel cen
tres of tbs State show no diminu-
ton in activity. as the orders of
months ago have been supple
mented by others, and the fact
that there is no product going
in stock is the most encouraging
feature. The promise is that
this year will be an exceptional
one ia the way of building, more

WILL VOTE FOR JOHNSON.
President KiIlilea Favors Present
Western League Official,

MILWAUKEE,, Sept. J9.-For some
time past a number of Western league
magnateS have expressed considerable,
opposition to President Ban Johnson.
the st. Paul, Indianapolis and Kansas
City newspapers being particularly Sc
we're In their criticisms of Mr.. john
sons management of the leagues af-
fairs. On the other hand, it is well
known that Milwaukee, st. Paul and
Detroit favor President Jonnson's re-
election at the annual meeting in Chi
cago, which will be held Oct. at
noon, while the position of Deacon"
Ellis, Of Grand Rapids, is not definite
ly known, though it is thought that
he also favors Mr.. Johnson's retention.
In discussing the matter yesterday,
President Killilea said: 1.-THE opposi-
ton to Johnson from Minneapolis and
Indianapolis is grounded upon the
fact that early in the season he repri-
manded the managers of those two
clubs for evading the rules of the
league and violating an agreement
entered into by all the clubs not to
interfere with the negotiations pend
ing between Grand Rapids and Second
Baseman Connors. Ellis had made a
claim to Connors, and he needed him,
but the Minneapolis management put
in bid in direct violation of their
agreement and signed him. The Mil
Waukee club also laid claim to Schri-
ver's services, but Indianapolis signed
him and subsequently transferred him
to Minneapolis. What grievance Kan
sas City has I cannot imagine, as
President Johnson discharged Umpire
McDermott at the request of Man
ming. l am in favor of re-eIecting
Johnson, because I think the success
of the league has depended to a
marked degree on his efforts. He has
been extremely fair and impartial in
all his decisions, and exerted every eff
fort to place the Western league on
sound basis. Comiskey has had more
influence with the umpires than any
of the other managers, probably,
through his own exertions only. The
umpire question vexes every league
president in the country from Young
down, and President johnson did all
he could to secure first-class staff
of umpires.''
