'"TOADYISM."
biblical Recorder
A. w. ALsToN

You know what "toadyism" is? Well
you ought to have been in Raleigh last
week and have seen for yourself Did
you ever know n man OF position and
standing" las they call it, to despise an
other man who, for some reason or other,
had no position and standingY' And
did you ever know such a despised man
to rise to position and standing" by
some means or other? And then, did
you behold how suddenly the first mans
attitude to this once despised man chang
ed how he bowed to him, fawned upon
him and servilely tlatered him? That
is 'toadyism.' You heard some months
ago OF a violent, disgraceful enemy OF the
State who was running for Governor.
Last week that same man was taken
right into the anxious arms Of high
society" They gave him reception and
dance, and appointed committee to
make punch (that is mixture of whisl1ey
and other stuff; all of which is society
at the top notch, in full dress, low neck
and short sleeves, you know. The new
Governor may thank the people for elect
ing him to office, but he is expected to be
forever grateful (even to the extent of
forgetting the people and letting up in
his effort against the lease" Of the
North Carolina Railroad to the Capital
Club (cards, punch and dances freel for
getting him into society, which has Sc
cured for him henceforth the recognition
of the real people, the truly good. But
we infer from the Governors ringing
uttarances on the "lease" that his taste
for toadyism, snobbery, punch and
dances is not so easy to cultivate.

he rushed in one morning in state of

He never even alluded to the lapse of time

y. G. FIREMEN'S ASSOCIATION.
President Mcneil Calls the Attention of
Legislators TO the State Appropria-

L ~
Legislators to the State Appropria-
ton.
To the Editor: / notice a bill intro
duced yesterday in the Legislature to
repeal the State appropriation to the
Firemans' Association, and | would ask
space in your columns to explain this
appropriation and its merits, so that
both the peoples representatives and
the people themselves may perfectly UNI
derstand the situation. During the ses-
sion of 1891, the officials OF cur associa-
ton, after consultation with the repre-
sentatives of the Fire Insurance Com
panies doing business in the State, asked
the Legislature to impose an additional
tax Of 12 Of / per cent upon them, the
revenue so raised to go to our Fire Asso-
citation to create a fund for injured, sick
or disabled firemen, such injury, sickness
or disability caused by reason of fire
service. The amount then appropriated
was $4,000. The act especially states,
that in no case, shall our annual appro-
priation exceed one-half of the license
tax, &c, &c" This source of revenue
conceived and created by our associa-
ton and agreed to by the Insurance Com
panies, | am reliably informed now pro-
duces about $1,000 per annum, still, we
have not only never asked for any in
crease from our original amount of 81,
800. But we have divided this sum with
our colored comrades, giving them one
fourth of the appropriation. This was
done by the Democratic Legislature of
1898, by and with the full approval and
consent Of our association. The ratio
was based upon the membership of the
two associations.
| have the honor to be now serving my
third term as president of the North
Carolina State Firemen's Association.

CARE OF THE TURQUOISE.

BY the by, the turquoise, like the pearl,
requires great care. Be careful that no
perfume falls upon it. BE careful that no
cosmetic touches it. Be careful that no
oily substance is near it, and never at
tempt to clean it with water. 1t is rath-
er interesting to know that while some
of the best of the beautiful blue gems
are found in Persia, quite a number of
those recently put upon the market come
from Egypt and formed the Trainings OF
the gold masks that invariably cover the
faces of those mummies who were of
royal blood. Pearls are, of course, the
stones of perfect purity and OF innocence,
but alas! good pearls were never more
expensive than they are now, and con-
sequently it may be concluded that more
than three-quarters of those worn are
imitation. Still, they are so well initiated
that one finds an excuse for their exist
ence, and that is a wise woman who
wears the pearls given her with happi-
ness and without question.
Everything intended for feminine wear
or to hold feminines belongings is not
only dainty, but rich. When Madem-
oiselle Debutante went to the opera for
the first time this season she carried on
her arm long pouchlike bag, swung by
a wide satin ribbon, tied in a big bow.
This bag was made of the same magnifi-
cent brocade as that used for her opera
cloak. 1t was lined throughout with
satin of single tint that harmonized
with the brocade, but it was not stiffened,
as the brocade itself was rich enough, as
it is proverbially said, to stand alone
The top of the bag was finished with a
band OF fur and then there came wide
frill of lace. With the rich cloak, the
