MOravian Church Given 81 .25O,OOO for
Work They Cannot support.
The joy caused among the charitable
institutions by the probating of the will
of the late John Thomas Morton, a big
jam and provision exporter, of London,
who left $2,50O,OOO to charity, to the
exclusion of his heirs, had q curious
setback i'm the case of the Moravian
church missions, whose bequest of ST.
25O,OOO promises to be white elephant
of the most formidable and costly kind.
The secretary of the missions has pub
lished letter appealing to the friends
of the organization to cease their con-
gratulations, explaining that while the
money bequeathed will not be available
for long time, when it is actually paid
not a penny is to be devoted to the ex-
listing missions, but is to be spent in
establishing entirely new enterprises.
In other words, the unfortunate leg
atees have been saddled with an obliga-
ton to apply the immense sum exclu-
sively to the establishment of mission
ary undertakings which they will not
have the means to support.

Preacher at Syracuse. N. ", Talks of
the Merits az Football.
Rev. DR.. James r. Day, chancellor of
Syracuse On. " university and a Meth
odist clergyman, said in a public ad-
dress:
IL believe that sorle such game as
football, which contains elements of
roughness and danger, is necessary to
the development of many young men in
university and seminary. It's future is
tending towards more open playing of
the game. ! do not like the hurting of one
mass of humanity against another un-
til one or the other becomes exhausted,
but do not feel like joining the uni
versal outcry against the game. Amer
lean people are easily influenced into a
general epidemic of reform, but think
that football has come to stay. 1t is en-
couraged by the faculty of Syracuse uni
versity. Football would fail of one of its
chief ends, in my estimation, if it did
not teach the young men self control.
A man who goes through season Of
being trodden upon and knocked down
deserves fairly a diploma in the art OF
self control. It is valuable discipline" !"

A Great Scheme.

The work of piping natural gas from
Warfield, w. Va, to Cincinnati is in
progress, the pipes having been shipped
from Carnegie's works a m nth ago.
warfeld is up the Big Sandy River not
far above the mouth, and the line OF
pipes will be down "Sandy" and the
Ohio rivers to Cincinnati, supplying
towns along the route. If the Ohio is
crossed at Catlettsburg it will save the
crossing of SANDY" and that is doubt.
less the route that will be chosen, which
will bring Aberdeen, Ripley and Higgins
port in Brown county in direct line.
That being the case these towns will
soon enjoy the benefits of natural gas.

FIRE ON A MAN OF wAR.
Hard Work Of the Crew of the Oregon

to Save Their ship.
The coal bunkers in the United States
battle ship Oregon caught fire from
spontaneous combustion, says the San
Francisco Call, and for over eight hours
the crew worked with vengeance to
smother what looked like costly blaze.
There was over $50 tons of coal in the
vessel and prompt action alone saved
the ship and fuel.
The fire is supposed to have started
from water leaking into the coal bunk
ers. This would eventually cause ter
rifle heat from accommodating gases.
Luckily, the fire was discovered before
it had gained much headway.
An alarm was Immediately given and
orders were issued to remove the coal
from the vessel to the wharf. Steam
pipes were attached and connected with
the lower part Of the vessel in an at
tempt to smother what fire might have
been in other parts of the ship.
The men went to work with n will but
the task was larger than had at first
been supposed. The work was done
with difficulty, as the smoke hindered
the men in their attempts to quickly
put out the blaze.
During the whole night after the fire
had been discovered the entire crew
labored in removing the smoking and
! blazing coal and it was not until day.

boat Fares.
Agreement Entered Into Between At
lantic Lines and Railroads That
IL Far Reaching - Scalpers
Hit n Hard Blow.

The agreement which has been en-
tered into between the railroads and
Atlantic steamship lines for the regula-
ton of immigrant fares is the most far
reaching of all combinations of the
country.
In the first place, it takes in not only
all of the transatlantic steamship COM
panies, but the coastwise lines extend
ing as far south as the Gulf of Mexico
and north to Halifax, thereby render
ing it impossible for rates to be de-
moralized so far as the ocean companies
are concerned.
Furthermore, all of the trarsconti-
mental as we'll as the western and trunk
lines are parties to the agreement,
which provides for the payment to the
steamship companies of ten per cent.
commission on all steerage passengers
turned over by the latter to the rail-
roads.
One of the ticket scalpers' chief
sources of revenue is now cut off, and
the railroads the country over agree
to turn over fiat" commission of ten
per cent. to the steamship companies
by virtue of the latter refusing to have
any further dealings with outside
agents. 1t means an end to demorali-
cation and tightening of the screws
| all along the line.
One of the most significant results of
the deal is the decision to advance i'm
migrant fares from New York and other
| lna ri oif
delphia. Baltimore and Newport News,
to the west, beginning December Is.
| The advance from New York to Chicago
is from $13 to SIS. Boston is to have a
differential of one dollar. the rate from
that city to Chicago being $14.
1t is we'll known that there is more
profit in the transportation of immi-
grants than any other class of passen-
| gers, owing to the fact that the poorest
cars are generally used for this service,
and it is unimportant whether the
trains travel rapidly or slowly. The
fact is recalled that a number of years
ago. during a war of rates between
the trunk lines, the Pennsylvania rail-
road carried immigrants for one dollar
apiece from New York to Chicago.
The ground upon which the steam.
ship companies allege they are en-.
titled to commission of ten per cent
is that most of the steerage passengers
are brought over here through the in.
fuence of their agents in the west and
Europe, and consequently the railroad
companies are indebted to the steam.
ship agents for this traffic, It is ir
the power of the steamship companies
to turn this business over to any one
railroad. and thus discriminate agains-
oil the others, as they have sometimes
done in the past.

A School Girls Nerves.

Mothers who have young daughters of
school age should watch their health more
carefully than their studies. The proper
development of their body is of the first i'm
portance. After the confinement of the
school room, plenty of out-of.door exercise
should be taken. II is better that their
children never learn their q, b, c's, than that
by learning them they lose their health.

admits it-everyone knows it, but everyone

INSURANCE IN NORTH CAROLINA
AND VIRGINIA.

April %, 1897.
To the Editor: The Insurance Act
passed by the last Legislature is ques-
ton which deeply concerns the people Of
North Carolina. The bill is just one,
and it is clear to the minds of all con-
servative and fair-minded men Of North
Carolina. Why should the citizens of
North Carolina pay ~ per cent when the
people of the valley of Virginia pay 80
cents, and the citizens of Halifax county,
Virginia, 1 per cent? The purport and
the intention Of the bill was to e,se the
people of North Carolina as liberal and as
fair rates as the State of Virginia.
Those living in the inland sections of
North Carolina did not know of the dis
readily see it now, and will rise up to n
man and ask why they should be charged
a hundred per cent more than certain
sections of Virginia?
Our people of the cities and towns
should investigate these matters, and
have committees to do it, and ask the
companies to treat them with the proper
justice and consideration. One man pays
$1,000 on a dwelling for five years; he
lives in Virginia. In a few hundred yards.
his North Carolina neighbor pays $500
for five years-50 per cent more on the
same condition, same. class of property.
But few of the farmers look into these
questions. Those who do, and who pro-
coed with the facts and take an earnest
stand for justice, usually get it.
Let the insurance companies and the
people take a conservative and righteous
view of this question. This is a stringent
time upon our people, and they need re-
lief from every source of these extra
burdens.
