city of Charlotte is the county seat.
There the system has been in opera

before the present general law was
enacted Mecklenburg hired the Con.

neighboring counties to work its
public roads. The result is that for
twenty miles or moro in every direc.

is that practically the only cost OF
the improved roads is the the mater

than when they are idle. With the

New Orleans, Oct. To-day was
again something of record breaker
in the matter of now cases. They
cropped up in all directions, but up
to 6 o'clock the death record was
still low.
The fever is rapidly spreading in
many directions, but the largest ma

a harmless type.
The infectious character of the
fever, is, however, shown in the fact
that there are again today numer-

Mr.. Tilton says in his paper:

publican party spirit to brook the
dominion of the party boss after he
has been discovered. Especially in
the west, is this loathing of machine
rule in politics thoroughly detested
by republicans. The Times aims to
have something to say, next week,
about machine politics in Kansas. We

THE REJECTED BACCHANTE.
What Boston Refused New York
 Gladly Takes Up.

The "Bacchante." by Frederick Mac Monnies, has been accepted by the Met ropoItan museum, New York, and it will at once be placed in the center of the bronze room at the east gallery on the first floor. The much maligned 'Bacchante" comes to New York as the gift of o. F. McKim, of New York city, after chilling reception in Bos- ton and rejection of proposition to put it in one of the libraries of that city.
 The tender of the beautiful life-size original bronze was made to the mu- scum on June 1 in letter sent by Mir. McKim to Frederick Rhinelander This generous offer was by him transmit ted to Daniel Huntington, chairman of the committee on sculpture.

Evidences Proving Presence of Chi-
 nese on Continent 2,OOO Years Ago.
 Simultaneously with news of the dis covery of relics near Guaymas, Mex. which prove the existence of the Chi nese in Mexico 2,000 years ago informa- ton is received from Australia con corning the reports of F. W. Christian. of the polynesian society. Christian has discovered extensive traces of the Chi nese and Japanese in the islands of the Pacific and claims to have discovered evidence pointing to the existence of a civilization of nearly 2,000 years ago. which is linked with the ancient civili- zation in Central America, and will probably explain the origin of the Aztec races. Evidence of a decisive nature was secured which shows that a large trade was carried on, via the islands of the Carolina group, between China and Central America. The coin cidence is a strange one that dispatc tch from Hermosillo, Mex. dated June t, reports that rock recently discovered in the mountains of Magdalena dis trict, state of Sonora, is covered with Chinese inscriptions. Those translat led show that the writing was probably ln- scribed on the rock at least 2,000 years ago.

Perhaps the world would have been quite justified in saying that Miss Char ity Chubb did an indiscreet thing in taking Wilbur Gates orphan daughter into her store, but the results were most favorable. At thev years end Myra had become indispensable to her "a quick. loving young assistant, who watched her with eyes of true affestion, and who made the interests of heFem- ployer her own. And, what was let ter still, she had saved Myra from the Slough of Despond into which she had been slowly sinking. almost uncon- sciously to herself.
