The Atlanta Constitution says: The
20th of May, for more than a century,
has been celebrated in North Carolina
as the date of the first declaration of
Independence, made in Mecklenburg
County in 1775. The hardy frontiers
men of that region had imbibed too
fully of the spirit of liberty to submit
to the degrading exactions imposed on
them by the English Government,
which impelled them to meet in Char
lotte, the county seat, where, in Ian
guage of lofty purpose and high re-
solve, they declared their connection
with the mother country at an end.
A year later the movement had so
spread that it was taken up by the
Philadelphia convention of representa-
tives from all the colonies. The truth
of history now does justice to the
memory of the men who blazed the
way for independence, and their de-
scendants take just pride in its cele-
bration,

A New Cure for rheumatism.

Remarkable results are claimed for
new rheumatism cure now being
tried by Philadelphia physicians.
The method consists in the local ap-
plication of hot air to the parts affec-
ed. The apparatus by which this is
accomplished consists of copper
cylinder, under which several gas jets
are kept burning. Into this cylinder
the limb is inserted and the ends are
closed. Stop-cocks are arranged to
let out moisture exuding from the
skin, and the temperature is raised to
$50 to 260 degrees. Precautions are
taken to prevent the limb from COM
ing in contact with the hot metal, and
the application is continued for fully
forty minutes. The explanation given
was that the increased temperature
and more rapid circulation dissolved
and carried off the deposits upon the
bones and in the muscles, and that
this effect extended in greater or
less degree to the whole body, The
apparatus used Is now for the first
time brought to the notice of the medi-
cal fraternity of this country.

Justice Stephen j. Field recent

Justice Stephen j. Field recently
completed a service of thirty-four
years on the supreme bench of the
United States He was appointed and
commissioned the 10th of March, 1868,
but with touch of sentiment, not out
of keeping with his character, he took
the oath of Office and entered upon his
duties on the Goth of May following,
his fathers eighty-second birthday.
He has thus served a longer period
than anyone who has sat on the bench
since it was organized, except Chief
Justice Marshall alone, who served
thirty-four years five months and six
days. Mr.. Justice Story was the next
longest in point of time, his term
being thirty-three years nine months
and twenty-five days. Justice Fields
professional and judicial life extends
over period of fifty-six years. When
he was admitted to the bar in 1871 all
but one of his present associates on
the bench were babes or lads at school.
That one, Mr.. Justice White, was not
born. -Four of them at least are young
enough to have been his sons, and one
of them, Mr.. Justice Brewer, is his
nephew.

An increase of forty-four per cent.
was made in the production of alum
inium in the United States in 1896
over that of the previous year. The
total production then of $50 tons was
about one-third that of the whole
world, but it will be considerably ex-
ceeded this year. Application of the
metal to uses for bicycle sundries and
appliances is the principal reason for
the increased production.

The most chic trimmings used on
sailor hats are wings and quilts. Many
OF them are smothered in flowers and
tulle. With the perfectly plain shirt
waists perfectly plain sailor hats are
stlll worn. They vary little from
those of last season in their lines, ex-
cept the crown is trife higher and
the brim not so wide. A sailor hat of
white Panama straw with high bell
shaped crown, trimmed with atwist of
black velvet ribbon ending in bow of
long loops on the side, from the centre
OF which rise two lace, broad black
qulls, is very good style. But the
smartest sailor has straight crown of
medium height, is decidedly oval in
shape, being quite short III the back.
There are folds of MORE about the
crown, and on one side and well to-
ward the front are a succession of long
wings, held in place by rosettes of
moire.-New York Mail and Express.

The New York Observer says: We
are often told that machinery is detri-
mental to labor. And yet while only
313, 200 people were employed in the
hoe industry in New England in 1860,
SS5, 900 were employed in that trade
in 1890. And while in 1860 the aver
age wages per capita were only $246 a
year, in 1890 the average sum paid was
S469.

Not at All a Helpless Doll.

The girl of to-day is a busy, useful
worker. She is generally proficient
in needlework. She cannot only alter
her own dresses, but cut and make
them and her underclothing as well.
She has knack of trimming her hats
and furnishing her wardrobe, and does
her full share at helping the dress
maker who comes to assume charge of
TIL spring and autumn sewing. She
understands the various branches of
mending, and takes that division of
labor off her mothers hands, as well
as the care of the parlor and dining
rooms, the arrangement of flowers, the
supervision of manners and apparel of
the younger children, and sometimes
their studies too. Let full justice be
done to "the girls of the period" or
rather let there be a clear comprehen-
sion of what should be really repre-
sented by that much abused phrase.
1t is not fair to take the weakest speci-
mems of the sex as types of class
comprising earnest workers with
strong conceptions of life, its RESPONSE
bilities and burdens, and steady pur-
pose to bear them according to the
best of their ability. Orleans

The "Fun Makers"
At the Opera House Last Saturday
Night.

An enthusiastic audience assem-
bled at Rempel's Opera House Sat-
urday night to witness Ramsey,
Schafer and Clark's "Fun Makers"
in the role of "a Picnic Party" and
which is on the usual order of dia-
lect plays, only the plot is stronger
and Is more on the original and
abOunds in dramatic scenes and
startling climaxes. The audience
Saturday night was not a large one
but showed by repeated encores
and curtain calls that it was an ap.
preciative one. The play is an in
teresting one and abounds in mirth
and humor. The principal charac-
ter in the play is taken by j. f.
Schafer, u clever Eutch dialect
comedian, who as "John Ludwig
Snyder" captured his audience.
His delineation of. the part, his
makeup, his appearance, his sing
ing and dancing show him to be an
artist who can hold his own with
the best of them. The musical
specialties of Messrs Schafer and
Clarke in the second act were of II
high order and much enjoyed.
The cast is made up of an excel
lent company of players including
Miss Belle O'Lynn, IL charming
soubrette, who haJ sweet voice
and sang, danced and acted admir-
ably. Miss Mable Hall AZ "Arabel-
la Growler" ;he sold maid" simply
plays her part to perfection and
c0nvulsed her audience with her
old fashioned ways and quaint
sayings.
In the star role Miss Belle
OFlynn as "Kitty Frawks the up
to.date sister" won well merited APP
plause capturing her audience right
in the start. There are defects in
the play, certainly, but they occur
in the minor parts, and are barely |
noticeable owing to the brilliant
work of the company rs "A whole.
The specjalties over shadow the
plot to such an extent that instead
of calling it a plot we would call it
II cOngl0meratlOn of :nirth, wit AMI
light farce and yet the play Is full
of action, not dull moment dur
ing the entire evening, all the in
cidents are stirring, the language
vigorous. the character sketches
are vivid and every climax is en-
contrived and thoroughly
effective and the performance
makes an enjoyable evenings en-
and We believe we can
say without fear of contradiction
than when they play return date
here next season they will be greet
ed with packed house.
Before closing we wish to make
of Miss Pauline Kidd, who
clad IN that quain4 Scotch costume
lanced the Highland fling, Il dance
which is as old AS the hills and yet
Is ever new.
