This is how Zola is described by
Stuart Henry in "Hours With Famous
Parisians:" A business man, no emo
tion, no ideals, no imagination, no
poetry, in his personal intercourse. He
does not try to win or entertain you.
He takes no personal interest in you
and does not expect you to take any
personal interest in him. He talks
frankly and freely about everything,
but in a secular way. IJo makes lifo
seem to voc merely commercial career.
Fiction for him is editions of 100, 900
francs year. His mGgisterial and mag.
nificent panoramas of descriptions, un-
equaled for their kind are all measured
off in his mind as so many rods of print

magnetism, no sentiment, no perfume,
no rose colors. Life has been for him

A sTlRRINe INTERVIEW.
rho Adventure of a Yankee Lieutenant at
Gibraltar In 1906.


Two noteworthy facts mark the bat
tie Of Lske Champlain and that of Lake
Erie. They were the only squadron bat
ties Of the war Of 1919, and the two vic
torious American commanders wero very
young. Perry was 28 and Macdonough
80.
When Macdonough was but 80 years
Of age, an adventure at Gibraltar, in
1906, described in Mr.. Spears History
Of Our Navy" showed the character Of
the man. He was first lieutenant of tho
Yankee brig Siren, and one day while
the captain was on shore at Gibraltar a
Yankee merchantman came into the
port and anchored near the Siren. A
boat from a British frigate near by
went directly to the merchgntman and
in few minutes pulled away again,
having one moro man in it than when
it left the frigate
.Macdonough noted the fact and sent
Lieutenant Page to the merchantmen,
who returned with the information that
the British had impressed orc Of tie
crew Of tho merchantman.
MacLonough ordered the Siren's gig
away, manned with armed men, ard
getting into it himself overlook tho
British boat alongside of the frigate and
took out OF it by force tho impressed
seaman and carried him to the Siren.
Later the captain of the British man.
of-war came on board the Siren and in
great rage demanded to know how
Macdonough had dared to take man
from one of his majesty's boats''
81 will, said he, "haul my ship
alongside the Siren and take the man
by force.
~ shppose, answered Macdonough,
"your ship can sink the Siren, but MS
long as she can swim l shall keep the
man.
"You are a very young man and very
indiscreet, said the bully. "Suppose l
had been ia tho boat What would you
have done?'
81 would have taken the man or lost
my life, !" replied Macdonough
What, sir. would you attempt to
stop me if were now to try TO impress
men from that brig?" thundered the
captain.
II would" answered the calm Mao
donough, land to convince yourself
that would you have only to make the
attempt"
At that the British captain got into
his boat, rowed away to his frigate and
then turned and rowed toward the mer-
chantman. Macdonough at once manned
a boat with an armed crew and rowed
out to protect the brig The English
man rowed around the merchantmen
without boarding her and then put back
to his frigate. He had tried to impress
the Yankee sailor not because he wished
to add more to his crew, but to show
his contempt for the little Yankee war
ship. Youths Companion,

the old directors of the North Carolina
kallroad, when the Southern sought to
renew the lease, there were points Of
ference between the directors and rep
resentatives of the Southern, the direc-
tors desiring to reduce the terms of
the lease from 80 years. The South
ern's representatives, including Mr.
Spencer objected to such reduction and
so signifieu to a committee consisting
of former President S. Il. Alexander and
Director Spruill and the long time lease
was made. The long lease has had the
effect, President Spencer said of enlarg-
ing the improvements made on the North
Carolina road, but no more were made
than necessary, since the anti-lease Ii
tigation began. He said the Mocksville-
MOOresville link of railroad, now being
built by the Southern was not begun till
the effort was made to annul the lease.
I4e further said that no personal or
other consideration nor any threat or
personal misrepresentation was made to
any person directly or indirectly con-
nected with the North Carolina Rail
road in order to further the adoption of
the lease.
Mr.. Spencer, under cross examination
said that he recalled no state railroad
which had been leased for 90 years. He
said that the Southern in making it's
lease of the North Carolina road, was
not following any precedents but was
renewing the lease of 1871, which pro-
vided that the bettermeRts of the road
could be removed at the expiration of the
lease. The directors said they wanted
to make the new lease so as not to pro-
vide for the removal of the betterments.
We were willing to do this if they would
give us a lease sufficiently long to justi-
fy us in doing So"
On redirect examination, Mr.. Spencer
said that no work was done, or begun, or
intended upon the Mocksville-MOores-
vile INK before the attempted repudid-
ton of the lease by the defendants in
this litigation.
Former President Alexander testified
that he thought the lease the best trade
the State ever made.
The rental by which the State gets
615 per cent until 1901 and after that z
per cent and taxes is evidence of this, -
he said.
He said the directors took the South
ern's first mortgage bonds to the amount
of S220,000 as security for the lease
money, and he considered the security a
safe one. He said that no undue infu-
ence was brought to bear on the direc-
tors to secure the lease.
All the members of the former board
now living offered similar testimony.
The court took a recess till o'clock to-
sorrow morning.

Washington, Jan. 6.-(SpeciaD D-The
Tar-heel Republicans were at the White
House to day in force and they were
after pie. Senator Pritchard with Gov
ernor Russell were in the push. OF
course, they had an audience with the
President, and it related to the appoint
ment of the District Attorney for the
Eastern district. Friends of Gov. Rus
sell say he only called to pay his re-
spects, but those in position to know
say he called with Pritchard to urge
the appointment of Cook. The Presi
dent, it is said, informed the Governor
that Cook could not be considered in
connection with the office, and that he
had decided to appoint some other man,
but did not mention the name OF the
lucky applicant.
1t is believed, however, that Bernard is
the man the President had i'm mind, as
the President, so it is said tonight, is
anxious to do something for Congress
man Skinner.
1T is not likely that this
appointment will be made this week, and
now another North Carolina negro is to
get something good. According to the
story circulated in North Carolina cir
cles to-day, John G. Dancy, who was
beaten by Cheatham for recorder Of
deeds for the District of Columbia, is
to be appointed Collector of Customs at
Wilmington, Senator Pritchard,
it is reported, promised the of
fee to Dancy and it is given
out to-day that Dancy will be appoint
ed during the next week.
Here is the --latest about tile
Wilmington postoffice fight A
compromise has been made and
a man by the name Of Chadbourn, who is
said to have the endorsement of Pritch-
ard ig slated for the appointment. This
arrangement your correspondent is in
formed is entirely satisfactory to all
parties concerned.
Assistant Attorney General Boyd
and Ex-Congressman Tom Settle
have, it appears, locked horns over
the Greensboro posteffce. Judge Boyd
wants Tyree Glenn to be made post
master while Mr. Settle is urging the ap-
pointment of B. o. Sharpe. As anti
Mckinley men are not receiving many
favors from the administration, it viii
not be surprising should Sharpe fail to
land, especially when Judge Boyd whc
stands next to Mckinley is requesting
the office for Glenn.
