The familiar face of former Senator
David B. Hill, of New York, was seen
on the floor of the Senate yesterday y
morning. He spent the most of his
time on the Democratic side of the
chamber, and sat for some time along
side of Mr.. Murphy, with whom he
talked long and earnestly. He also had
a talk of some length with Chairman
Jones, of the National Committee. Mr.
Hill and Senators German and Murphy
lunched together but it was denied that
there was any politics in their discus
sion. The welcome extended to Mr.
Hill was as warm and cordial on the
Republican side of the chamber as it
was on the side where he formerly sat
He returned to New York on the even

Prince, but as the nominee and candi-
date of Russia, on the understanding
that he is to look for guidance and di-
rection. not to Athens, nor yet to Con-

Car gives as d pretext for the appoint

has made to his mother. the widowed
CZarina. who is known to be very deep
ly attached to her nephew George, re-
garding him as the savior of her sons

government that permits itself to be
influenced by considerations OF this
kind or character and there is no doubt
that in forcing Georges appointment

CAPITOL GOsSIp.

The United StatesiSupreme Court is
trying to determine whether the Illi-
nois Inheritance tax is constitutional.
That tax was put on the statute books
by Republican legislature. A wide
spread feeling that the wealthy might
justly bear a little more of the burden
of taxation was the inspiration. And
now some Of the best legal talent in
the country has Been brought to
Washington to convince the court that
the lawmakers cannot tax inherit
ances with any more right than they
can incomes. In this array is eX-Presi-
dent Benjamin Harrison, who consid-
ers the law unconstitutional. A Re-
publican member of the Illinois dele
cation shivered little as he remarked: +:
IF the court knocks out that law some
of us in Illinois are going to have a
hard time getting back to Congress
next fall: it will mean the loss of many
votes to us on the State and legislative
tickets"
The Secretary of the Navy is the po
litest man in the Administration The
day that the Maine was ordered TO

fully written statement that ''our YES

calls at Cuban ports" The statement
was bulletined at the Capitol and Con
gressmen laughed when they read.

1t is reported in London that the war
office with the object of avoiding un-
pleasant questions on the meeting of
Parliament has requested and obtained
the resignation. by Albert Frederick
Calvert, of the coIonslcy of the Twen-
ty-second Regiment of Middlesex Vol
unteers, a corps which constitutes part
and parcel of the British army coming
under the head of what are known as
the auxiliary forces.
The reason for this action on the part
of the secretary Of state for war. Lord
Lansdowne, and of Commanderin-
Chief Lord woIseIey is the discovery
that Mr.. Calvert cOnspired to purchase
the colonelcy in question, and that he
possessed no qualifications, either mill
itary or aristocratic, for the office;
nothing, indeed. save mere wealth 1t
is possible that the deal might have
remained unknown save to the parties

for the fact that the two agents who
undertook TO procure tue DlillIid ulP-

tions, while the remainder was retained
by Kane as a sort of commission.
Calvert, by the way. has made ii
known that he possesses some strong
pretension to the long dormant Balti-

leave him a little more time he will put
forth his claims TO the peerage in ques-
ton. 1t need hardly be added that this

wealth." That was tire rock on which
Gods people of old split.
Hear rather our Lords words i'm the
text ''Freey We hath received. freely
give" THE poor We have are with you
always and when you will, We may do
them good" They are ever with us in
great part doubtless for this purpose. to
call out and exercise our best emotions
those of love and pity and sympathy for
suffering. and fellow feeling and charity
the spirit of Sclf-dcnial.
Why is love the very essence of the
gospel-as God is love" Why was oui
blessed Lords life on earth but one of
sclf-denial and suffering for our sakes,
why but for our example?
'If God so loved us we ought also to
love one another"
The goat law of dependence and inter
dependence Of which have spoken, that
characterizes all of Gods works must
surely and especially apply here: Free
ly We have received" therefore frey
give" "Whoso hath this worlds goods
and sceth his brother have need, ana
shutteth up his compassion from him,
how dwelleth the love of God in himY'
If thou hast little. do thy diligence
gladly to give of that little" He that
hath pity upon the poor lendcth unto the

all men and especially unto them that are

word. In proportion to the sincerity Of
our Thanksgiving, will be the liberality
of our almsgiving.

your prayers and your aims anything
more deserving of your Christian liber-

Thompson Orphanage-God's poor and
our hrethren-who are wholly dependent
on the free will offerings or Christian
people for their food and clothing and
the means of getting any knowledge of
our loving Lord.

on the early history of the churches i'll
Eastern Carolina.
To our mind Dr. Huffman is correct
when he claims for the Quakers the
planting of the first church in Eastern
Carolina. Next in precedence comes the
Episcopal church. while next in order
stands the Baptist church. Following
in the order of history. we have the Pres
byterians and Moravians running about
even dates; next in order is our MethO-
dist brethren, with the Roman Catholics
last in order.
Now rs to the points in history we ina
William Edmondson in 1872 preaching
Mt the home of Mr.. Phillips, also at the
same time we find George Fox preach
ing to the colonists and Indians.
About this time the Quakers had be-
come so powerful as TO-, III large meas
rtrc, shape the political policy OF the
colony. changing the form OF the oath
M common law form Il swear, etc, 10
Il affirm" etc. changing also the mar
riagc laws. In after years we FIND them
pctitioning the Crown in regard to their
rights. and calling attention to the fact
Of their residence in the colony since
the year 1868 Next in order stands the
Episcopal church With this noble body
of Christians. n right Of pre-emption
might be said to exeiSt; it commanded
great and powerful influences, but what
ever the cause may have been. about
forty years elapsed before the planting
of the first church when IN obedience
to an act of assembly in the year l'Ol'
the church of ST. Pauls Parish, Chowan
precinct, was erected.
Next in order is our Baptist brethren
in "Nass" churches of Eastern Carolina.
We find that in the year IT'D Rev. Haul
Palmer organized church with thirty
two members in PcrquimanS county.
From small beginnings this body OF
Christians has become great and po-
tent factor in the religious life of our
State. We might state that during the
fifty years embraced between 1862 and
1872 reference is made three times to
the presence of Prcsbyterians in the
colory. We do not recOllect that our
Baptist brethren are mentioned only by
way of inference during that period.
IN. G. Records. Vol. ~
Next in order we have the Presbyte-
rians ma king their appearance in the
colony. In 17J6 we find Mr.. McAdcn
preaching at the home of Mr.. Little in
Pamlico county This was the only Pres
byterian preacher. Mr.. Little said he
had heard during the twenty-eight years
he had lived in Carolina.
17J1 marks the advent Of that noble
bnd of Christians. "Moravians," though
few in number. What an impress they
have made throughout our whole South
land,
1773 we find to be the entry of Method
ism within our borders. Its mission
in North Carolina has been Il grand
and glorious one
1922 we find that the Hon Stephen
Miller was present at a Roman Catholic
service at the home Of Judge CASTOR in
Newbern: also that about that time the
Catholic Bishop England preached in the
court house and also in the Presbyterian
church of Newbern.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

" ARROLL ID. WRIGHT, IN an ar
ticle in the Chautauquan on, Are
~ Women Hurting the Chances oil
Men In Business?" makes the following
assertions:
"The fact is absolutely demonstrated
that the proportion Of females In all oc-
equations followed is gradually IN
creasing, and that women are to some
extent entering into places at the ex-
pense of the males. A closer study OF
all the facts, however, shows that
while the statement just made Is true'
women are more generally taking the
places OF children. Through the innu-
ence of higher intelligence and the
action Of law, the number OF children
employed In manufactures Is constant
ly decreasing. In 1870 the percentage
Of children of the whole number OF per
sons employed In manufacturing was
5.5S, while in 1890 the percentage was
only 2.GS. In very many classes, as
children have been excluded through
law and other influences, adult women
have to some extent taken their places
There need not be any alarm, there
fore, as to the encroachmC nts OF wome1
upon the occupations held by men.
