SELECT o o e


AS members of the legislature are
to be elected this year we trust that
it will not be out of order to utter g
few words Of warning. By all means
select good men. Don't nominate
men who are connected i'm any way
with corporations, for while they may
be capable in every way and good citi
zens so far as you know, experience
proves that they generally lean away
from the people. Don't select men
who can be controlled by corporations,
and don't select men who are too ICON
sentative. They are always dangerous.
Beware Of the demagogUe. He pirates
reform, but when the test comes he is
as pliable rs clay. Watch the early
birds w0 pop up for the legislature.
1t ia generally safe to let them alone.
Don't nominate the man put forward
by the ringsters. Find out who they
want and then nominate some other
person.
The last two legislatures contained
q number Of men who ought to be re-
turned. But many more of the num-
Der ought to be left at home. Begin
to think of their records and decide
whether or not the number from your
county deserves re- election.
We should not forget that the last
two legislatures did some excellent
work. Many of the most important
bills were SO good that ever the oppos
ing party could not criticize. It may
not be out of place to mention a few
bills that were passed, bills which met
the, approval Of the masses generally.
First Of all the present election law
ought to be mentioned. In 1894 that
was the real State issue, and the law
has worked 90 well that not one vote
has been misplaced SO far as we know.
Prior to the passage Of this law the
reverse was true. In q number Of
counties, under the old law and by
free m-anipulations hundreds OF voters
could be changed from the majority to
the minority, and it was done. Many
votes were thrown away on silly tech.
nacalities and the voice Of the voters Ct
North Carolina was not recorded az
cast. After all, what are personal
pledges or party pledges and platforms
il the ballot ia CorruptIy and dishonest
ly manipulated You want men who
will not change this election law in
the next Legislature.
The Alliance charter was restored.
The six per cent. interest law was
passed and has been of great advan-
tage.
The law permitting county and
other officials to give bond in secur-
ity companies has been a great bless
ing. Prior to the passage Of that law
many of the best men in the State
we're debarred from of1ce by bitter
and dishonest partisan county com
m~issioners. No matter how strong a
bond might be those partisans could
refuse it and put in men who had been
defeated st the ballot box, and it was
done in hundreds Of cases. Now any
man of good character can give bond
in security companies (the best bonds
in the world, too) and at a small cost.
Now a mon need not belong to the aris-
tocracy nor the oligarchy to hold Office
in Nerth CaIolins, as was the case a
few years ago. You want to elect q
legislature this year that will not
change the above laws. and many 9th
ers not mentioned. Don't allow the
.eupplies of the goldbugs nor the rant
ings of the silverites TO cause you to
lose sight of the above facts.

LATEST IN DANCING.
No Hugging-DecisiOn of Profess
sOrs-New Figures.

NEW YORK-Hugging while waltz
ing is under the ban. The decree has
gone forth from the men who teach
Waiting that no more hard pressure
shall be permitted during the process
of the fascinating whirl Reprimands
are in store for all young men or
young women either, who persist in
hugging in the dance.
All this was decided at the twenty
first annual convention of the Ameri-
can Society of Professors of Dancing.
which has adjourned after four days
session, after adopting the new dances
for the coming season and electlng Of
ficers. The new dances and the new
figures in the german for the coming
season will feel the influence of the
war with Spain. There will be much
display of flags and patriotic cOlors in
the german figures.
Admiral Dewey, who has already
had many things named after him, will
have figure in the german bearing his
name. 1t was the first of the new fig
ures to be adopted by the dancing
masters. The bombardment of Ma
Mia is the belle, the ladies and the gen.
tlemen standing in opposing lines and
throwing at each other balls of varie
gated hues which burst in the air and
send their ribbons of paper scattering
over the rooms. Another based on the
war is the camp figure, in which paper
tents are placed in each corner of the
room. The gentlemen hide in these
tents, sticking "a finger through the
paper and the ladies, circling around,
grasp the protruding fingers and drag
the owners thereof through the paper
walls of the tents to be captors in the
dance.
Other figures based on military lines
are the Stars and Stripes, Imperial
Lanyards and Charge of the Light
Brigade. There will also be q Volun-
teer waltz, which differs from the ord
mary waltz in having long side step
to the left. Other new dances Will be

PEARY.

greSS Northward.

NEW YORK-A letter received in
this city from Explorer Peary says
that on August 18th he was at Etah,
near the entrance to Smith sound, up
which he probably proceeded soon
after he wrote if he was to reach his
proposed new camp on the northwest
coast of Greenland this season. Etah,
or Fort Foulke, is the place where DR..
j. J. Hayes spent the winter of 1S6O-61
on his exploring vessel, the United
States. 1t is a considerable distance
north of Peary's former winter camps.
Peary wrote that thus far his plans
had prospered. He had taken aboard
his steamer, the Windward, ten Es-
quimaux, sixty dogs and the carcasses
of sixty walrus, which will supply a
large quantity of food for his dogs and
the natives. He was about to send his
auxiliary ship, the Hope, back to ST.
Johns. There is no doubt that Mr..
Peary reached the north water at Etah

ton on the Fran.

a Queer Proposal.

A remarkable letter, bearing the
postmark Malta, Feb. IS, 1897, and adj
dressed to Queen Vica War, ST. Johns
Island, near Solomon Islands, in the
Southern Pacific ocean, was a few
weeks ago opened by one of the chiefs
of the Island mentioned, and handed
TO Mr.. Mitchell, of the firm of Burns,
Philip & Co, who has just returned
from a visit to the Solomon Group. The
letter is as follows: Her Gracious
Queen: l hope you will most willingly
excuse me for having the impudence
to write TO you in this manner, and
the reason for my doing so is when
[ was reading the paper yesterday, 18th
of February, / read about the steam
ship Bonanza, being drifted in this ISL
and, and the woman under you began
TO select husbands from the crew, and
that the captain of the ship would not
let them go ashore, and moreover, that
you, my Queen, wanted for a husband
a man that would love you and make
you happy l have been thinking the
matter over. and / have come to the
conclusion that if you will have me for
a husband, write back and let me
know, also that you should send me
the money for my passage out, so as
can come TO you, and l will repay
you the money when | get to you. =

GIFT TO BERKELEY.
Miss Jennie Flood Presents Valu-
able Estate.

A most munificent gift has been
made to the University of California
by Miss Jennie Flood. 1t consists of
the palatial Flood mansion at Menlo
Park, with the ornamental grounds,
consisting of $40 acres, together with
a tract of land of about l 200 acres and
four-fifths of the capital stock of the
Bear Creek Water Company. Accord
ing to the estimate of John w. Mac
kay, who was intimately associated for
many years in business with the father
of the donor, this gift amounts in
value to over three million dollars.
There is but one condition attached to
it, and that is a very easy one-in fact,
a condition that would in all probable
ity be carried out without any request
having been made in regard to it. Miss
Flood simply asks that the ornamental
grounds surrounding the mansion be
kept in good order within a reasonable
area for period of fifty years. The
proceeds from the gift are to be de-
voted to some branch of commercial
education. 1t is singular and happy
coincidence that the regents Of the uni
versity recently established CONNER
cial department in the institution, and
Miss Floods generous endowment will
enable them to carry out their ideas on
s4-most liberal scale.
The donation came as surprise to
all but few of the regents, and, fol-
lowing the liberal gifts of Mrs. Hearst,
whose fortune, like that of the Flood
estate, was derived from the develop
ment of mining interests, will prove OF
vast benefit to the cause of higher ed
ucation in California.

ONE SWEET FACE FOR ME

The lovely twilight fingers like a spirit
round the place;
The sweetheart roses at the gate are
memories of her face;
The lilies lean and glisten-the ghosts
of lost delight
The sunf1owerlike golden star signals
the silent night.
This the place l met her-there, in the
rosy years,
When life was all of hope and all it's
ways too sweet for tears;
This is the place l met her-this is the
dear, sweet place,
And all the world is wondrous with
memories of her face
Oh, may it be that not for me an
other light shall shine
Like the last light-like the past light
that made sweet this life of mine;
1t may be l shall never see, for all life's
grief and grace,
The beam, the CLEAN, the stream-the
dream. and over all that face!
Strange ways, strange days and lands
and hands, and what we think is
fate:
But over all some crimson bands that
bind twilight late
With rare Star-Sprinkled roses, with
all their youthtime grace.
And those sweet lips that kissed me-
and ever more that face,
Let us forget. And yet--and yet-we
will remember still
The blood that made the rose so red
the ripple of the rill-
The hills that climbed to heaven, and
each remembered place
That made the whole world sweeter
for one dear woman's face!
Dear face. l may not meet thee-I may
not ever sight
The phantom ship hat bears thee from
the watchfires of my night;
But still the beam, the CLEAN, the
dream, and ever more l see
A face that makes life beautiful-the
one sweet face for me.
