An IIiatOric Carriage,

An historic carriage owned by the
late Dr. Evans has been offered for
sale at the Paris Tattersall establish
ment. but it was decided at the last
moment to retain the vehicle as an
item of the estate. In it the doctor left
Paris with the Empress Eugene on
Sept. 1, 1870 when he was assisting
her to reach England. 1t is intended
by the heirs OF the noted dentist to
transfer the carriage to the Evans Mu-
scum. which is to be founded in Ameri-
ca under the clauses Of the Doctors
will.
The vehicle will be temporarily
handed over to the care Of the old
coachman who drove the Empress, her
attendants and the doctor to the coast
in 1870, when she was about to EN-
bark for England in Sir John Bur-
goynees yacht. The vehicle is Ian
dau with accommodations for four
persons, and was built in 1857 for the
Exhibition. About ten years since Dr..
Evans had it recleaned and reembel-
ished, in order to make a journey to
Granville over the same ground as that
travcrsed by him with the Empress in
1870 During that long drive he stop
ped at the same places en- route as
those selected on the memorable Jour

The Daily Press is in receipt of Il
little book entitled Facts About the
SOUTH which contains an interesting
and succinct account of Southern
growth along the line of industrial
progress. Undoubtedly the highest
tribute that may be paid as to the val

Richard II. Edmunds. editor of the

his connection with this peculiarly ac-

PARENTAL AUTHORITY.

There can be no doubt that the natu-
raj tendency of human nature is to go
astray. 1t is not necessary to read
learned works on moral philosophy and
psychology in order to discover this
fact. Each man may appeal to his own
experience and find abundant proof to
sustain the truth of the statement
This being the case. 1t has been
found advisa BILE to fence men within
authoritative limits from the time they
appear upon the scene of activity until
they cross the border line that scpa-
rates life from death.
In buyhood and youth the parents
furnish the restraint which in later
years comes from civil and so
cial laws and customs. and since
the boy must inevitably be the
father Of the man it is impossible
to measure the responsibility that falls
upon the parents who have been en-
trusted with the training and correc-
ton Of a boy. They have within their
care forces which If properly Girec
ted may strike the shacllles from the
hands of slaves, or which may free
the minds of thousands from error and
superstition. but if neglected and allow
ed to run in improper channels, these
same forces will inevitably strike al the
very existence of society and bring
down the heads of the parents in shame
to the grave.
Each person is born With Il certain
amount of inherent intellectual ana an
imal force, and it requires no expert in
the art of reasoning to see that the
future Of the child depends largely
upon the manner in which these twin
motors of human action are directed
in the days Of early youth.
&@@ 1t is not sufficient for men and wo-
men to say that they cannot control
their children. That does not relieve
them of the responsibility nor of the
direful results that are bound to fol
low neglect along this line.
If the settlers along the Mississippi
Valley had come to the conclusion that
they could not central the waters of the
great river, millions OF acres Of the

mother do not wish to appear too strict
ri and the boy is allowed more liberty
than he can properly use in his mex

Will Be Filed With the Clerk of
Ihe House by Representa-
tive Hay.
It Provides For a Regular Army
Of Thirty Thousand Officers
and Men.
Fifty Thousand Volunteers For
Present Emergencies---The
Argument.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-The bill for
the increase of the regular army which
the minority of the house committee On
military affairs will offer as substitute
for the Hull bill, was drawn by Repre-
sentative Hay of Virginia, and is now
in the hands of the war department,
where an estimate is being made of the
cost of such military establishment as
vides for standing army of $4,000,
10000 artillery, 5000 infantry, 5000
cavalry and engineer, ordnance and sig
nal corps and general staff. To meet
the existing exigency for troops in
Porto Rico, Cuba, the Philippines,
Hawaii and the LadroneS, the
bill provides that the president
may issue his proclamation for $4,000
listed for two years. These latter
troops are to be commanded by officers
appointed by the president. The or
ganization is to be the same as in the
regular army, the Strength of the differ
ent arms of the service TO be determined
by the president. The present volun-
teers are to be mustered out within SO
days after the passage of the act, but
volunteer organizations now in the SER
vice shall be given preference for en-
hstment in the new volunteer army if
they so elect within 10 days.
The bill provides that no regular army
officer who was in the army prior to the
war with Spain shall be mustered out
of the service.
The Contention of the Minority.
Mr.. Hay will file the bill and the mi
nOrity report on the Hull bill with the
clerk of the house. The main contention
the bill will make for the minority plan
as against the Hull bill for standing
army of 100000 men, is that the future
of the Philippines and Cuba are yet I'M
determined, but that if the standing
army is increased to 100, 900 it will be
almost impossible, no matter what may
happen in the future, to reduce it. The
report will say that a standing army of
100, 900 men will cost the people of the
United States S165, O00, 900. This aided
to the $145, 900, 900 for pensions will
bring the cost of the military establish
ment up to 1910. 900, 900, the largest
charge in the world for u military es-
adjustment.
The naval establishment would bring
the total up many millions more.
Mr. Hay estimates that a standing
army of 5000 with $4,000 additional
volunteers would cost $lOO, OO0, 900. but
this charge might be only for two years.
The creation of volunteer force for
temporary purposes would always keep
it within the power of congress to adj
just the strength of that force to the ex-
isting conditions.

paid for in cocoanuts. A tall chimney
pot is the favorite among the Nicola
