ALPINE HERnSWoMEN.
They Wore Trousers Before Bloomcrs
 Were Heard or.


 Long before the days of boomers women on the higher level of the Alps wore trousers, and no one thought any thing about 1t. The Alpine women wear the bifurcated garment for utility and not for bearty. as one may judge if he or she has seen one of these girls. Ceme~ 1iRess and ths Alpine herdswolnen ale far apart, Ert ths st.le of the garments they wear and the hard life that is theirs are at the root Of the trouble
 These women have little of the grace and agility seen in the maidens of Nor way They will leap across chasms with nonehalance, but there is nothing wild and free about their movements. While she is talking to you the Alpine herds woman is quite apt to thrust out an un- gainly leg, plant heavy boot on the neck of geat and stand thus while she conyerseH.
 With tho exception of the blacks who endure lifs of hunger in the interior of Africa there is hardly any one in the world who fares so badly as the herds men and women of Switzerland. They cannot affort to eat the berries they find on the mountain side, aud they cannot afford to drink the milk supplied by their fiocks. Their fare is meat that has been dried, salted and turned into un. savory leather, rye bread that is like blaekened cinders and cabbage stalks in pickle, that contain about as much nutri- ment as walking stick. Hungry as the herdswoman may be on her return home, she must cat but sparingiy of there dainties, for fear they should come to an end before another trip to the valley can be made.
 These women breakfast at 3 ill the morning and then answer the response of the eattle lowing at the door of the chalet, begging to be attended to a"d driven ID to some favorite X @They eat again some 12 or l4 hours later, when the weary tramp back to the chalet is about to begin. Between times, with sickles, they reap the long, ooa~se Alpine grasses, which are to serve IS food for the cattle during the winter.
 This grass is bound into bundles IS large as the women themselves and car tjed on their backs down to the home steads, The winter firewood IS brought the same way The chalet, the home of one of these women, is the most pictur- esques of any peasants dwelling place. but inside it is not desirable. It is usu- ally perohed on the orags of the Ober land and is dark, for the windows are constructed not so much to admit light as to keep out the heavy snows of the winter. In one corner is a low, broad platform with sacks of hay and eou. pie of blankets upon it. The less luxuri. ous dispense with the blankets and the herdswoman usually goes to rest in the same attire she wore during the day. h the autumn, when the cattle are driven town for the last time, a dance is given by the herds and the women, and on these occasions the girls exchange their trousers for t1e usual skirt. -Kansaa City Times.

not only to give current news, but to en-
able it's readers to form just decisions on
matters of recent date, but which are
wholly past The contemporary verdict
of the time is an important factor in the
making ND of historical verdicts. 1t
NAV be that Judge Lamson dislikes eX-
ceedingly to be pilloried in history as an
abuser of the power which his office OF
Judge gives him. But as he has doubt
less often had occasion to say to offend
ers against the criminal law brought be-
fore him for judgment, he should have
Thought of this sooner. 1t is plainly he,
and not the newspaper writer, who is
put in contempt because he tried to re-
strain an editor in his lawful business of
informing his readers on matter of gem
eral and public interest.
''It is not the higher courts which are
most likely to assert their prerogatives
and put their critics in durance vile for
contempt of their authority. So true 1t
is that the really great are generally
least disposed to assert the authority
which their station gives. 1t is truly as
Shakespeare has said:
But man. proud man,
Drest in little brief authority,
His glossy essence like an angry ape
Plays such fantastic tricks before high
heaven
AS makes the angel weep.
After the severe sitting down on
which Judge Lamson has received from
the Supreme Court, he will probably con-
clude that to adjudge an editor in CON
tempt while performing his duty TO his
readers in discussing the events of the
day, is the most Improbable assertion
of his power that he ever attempted.
Contempt of court can only apply to dis
turbances in the court itself, or to at
tempts by outside parties to influence the
decision of Judges or jurors in cases
pending before it, When it is extended
SO as to prohibit free discussion of all
past decisions of the judges, it becomes
one of the most serious menaces to the
liberty of the people, and one that the
higher courts. which have always been
the defenders of popular liberty, will
never tolerate

1915 There is no attempt to add to
Vance's reputation by lack Of apprecla-
ton of Judge Settles ability. That rs
conceded, and then Maj. Dowd quotes
from the files of the Sentinel incidents of
the campaign which gives vividness to
the recital that makes the reader feel like
he is living in the very hour of Vance S
greatest oratorical triumphs.
Chapter seventeen is the most impor-
tant chapter in the book. 1t treats OF
Vance's attitude towards the Farmer S
Alliance. 1t has ben charged in North
Carolina ''that Vance surrendered his
manhood and independence by promising
the Alliance he would obey instructions
or resign, and he was accused of bad
faith in that having given the promise
and been instructed, he did not either
obey or resign" Maj. Dowd shows with
out room for doubt or controversy that
there never was the slightest foundation
for either charge. We shall shortly quote
the proofs. Mai. Dowd has done nothing
so well as to refute and silence those who
have either ignorantly or viciously sought
to place stigma on Vance's reputation
by a perversion of the record with refer
ence to the resolutions adopted by the
Legislature of 1891.
The speeches published are the ones
made by Vance in Congress in 1883 on
Tariff. Public Lands and Pensions and
three short speeches in the next Congress;
several speeches on the Tariff delivered in
the e. S. Senate; his speech against the
unconditional repeal of the Sherman act
in 1898; his speech ON the Blair bill; his
address at Chapel Hill in 1866 on THE
Duties of Defeat" his speech in the Z. ).

threat to coerce the seeding states; and

cial South During the War" The Scat
tered Nation and the Last Days of

Sanford, n c., June S.-(Suecial) y
Mrs. Martin Parsons dropped dead at her
home here this morning.
Capt. G. III. Siler, principal of Sanford
High school,, was thrown from a horse
while crossing Rocky River in Chatham
county last Saturday, and had his shoul-
der dislocated. The Captain received the
attention of a physician and will soon be
out again.
DIR. /. III. Lutterloh has been appointed
postmaster here as the successor of Mrs.
Scott, who was made postmaster at the
death of her husband, John w. Scott, Jr.
Mrs. Scott has made a good postmaster
and many of the patrons of the office re-
gret that the change has been made. The
bond of the incoming postmaster was
filed Saturday. The postoffice now pays
about $500 per &nnum. When it reaches
81 900 it will be made a Presidential of

THE A. & NJ. COLLEGE TRUSTEES.
Gov. Russell Said to Favor Looting the
Institution.

The board Of trustees of the A. and NJ.
College meets to-day, and some sensa-
tional developments in regard to changes
in the faculty are expected. 1t was re-
ported yesterday that Gov. Russell was
in favor of turning out every Democrat
and putting a FusiOnist in his place. But
Chairman Harris and majority of the
board, it is said, will fight any such revo-
lutionary proceeding. There are some
Republicans who claim that ra ther than
be thwarted in this, the Governor will
break his long friendship with Mr.. Harris
and join in openly with the looters and
revolutiOnists. Those who predict this
charge that the Governor is playing des-
perate game to succeed Senator Butler,
and that he has an idea that the proper
way to do so is to give a lot of Republi-
cans and Populists places they are not
competent to fill.
If such a programme as has been sug-
gested is carried out to-day, many if not
all the best men on the board say they
will resign. Nobody objects to changes
when they are plainly for the best inter
, est and increased efficiency of the institu-
| ton, but it is revolving in the extreme
to see a college of high standing and
great usefulness made political football
and looted by men whose only ambition IS
office.
| Among other things the board will give
out the contract for the construction of
the hospital, which was provided for by
the General Assembly. The hospital will
be ready for occupancy in September.

to no other reason than the want of suf-
ficient time. They feel confident that if
the point had been reached an amendment
similar to that proposed by Senator Davis
continuing the treaty in force would have
been accepted. They base this assertion
upon the manner in which Senator Frye's
speech was received and the side remarks
made upon the subject. They now ex-
press the utmost confidence that the FL
nance committee will accept the amend
ment without caucus action. Senator
Frye's speech was a Jealous appeal for
the maintenance of the treaty. He said
that Pearl Harbor was ceded to the Uni
ted States in exchange for THE concession
to Hawaiian sugar by this country and
declared that an abrogation at this time
would be an act of bad faith.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

We have the Hellenan Of '97. 1t is
simply jolly. 1t is dedicated to Col. John
S. Cunningham, and the Fraternity Page
is the work of the young artist of North
Carolina, Mr.. Norman +. Jennett. So
much of the quip and jest work as well
as the sparkling pen sketches are the
work of the college fellows that one feels
that the annual comes hot from the fun
department of the university heart. Mouse
in talking about what is written in the
205 pages-pages of thick heavy glazed
paper of such elegance as to give the life
of the men to nature i'm half tone. Mon
ey has been spent freely, but wisely, in
the production and brains in the dis
terminating arrangement and effective
editing. In this connection, the staff
should be mentioned, as follows: Darius
Eatman, editor-in-c chief; associate editors,
Harry S. Lake, Richard ii. Lewis, +.

The skits, local gags and personal points
are witty and fresh, and are tastefully
balanced by more serious matter in the
proper places. In the years to come when
the Chapel Hill man of this year gets
gay again in looking through these pages
of his '97 college days, it may be that
a tear-stain or two will be added as a
melting result. according to the poet, of

Alumni should have copy. Price $1.50.
Since Fosters day no man has done
much in Southern plantation melody UNI
til now. Jacob Reinhardt, of Richmond,
the composer of sacred music and rO-
mantle songs, has written a number of
plantation melodies that will compare
favorably with Down ON the Swannee
River" Masters in the Cold, Cold
Ground" and the other gems by Foster.
His ''Ole Battered Banjo" his "Ole
Fiddler" and his Revival Hymn"
(words of the latter by Joel Chandler
Harris), are indeed pathetic and beauti-
full and are highly appreciated by all
lovers of music. Reinhardt's comic song,
''Fishin'," words by former Commission
er of Internal Revenue Joseph S. Miller),
has just been published by a Richmond
house. and it is likely to have a great
run. 1t is hoped that Mr.. Reinhardt will
soon publish his folklore music in book
form. Such a publication would certain
ly meet with ready sale in the South.
