EDWARD BOX TO LECTURE.
The Popular Young Editor to Come South
TO Meet Soutehrn People.

Edward Box, the famous young
editor OF The Ladies' Home Jour
nal, has finally been persuaded to
appear on the lecture platform,
and he will mako his debut as a
lecturer in the South next October.
lie will lecture in twenty of the
principal cities and in a few of the
neighbOring Western States. The
title of his lecture will be "The Kew
to Succcss"-the most interesting
subject he could have chosen to
talk about. Mr.. Box is, perhaps,
the most successful and popular
young man in America. Women
read him as they do no other
writer, and it may be confidently
said that around the personality
of no other man in America is there
a greater interest and curiosity on
the part of thousands of women
that centres on this successful
editor. The women will not he
disappointed in him, as, in looks
and manners, Mr.. Box posses all
the qualities whicd they like. He
is as popular personally with WON
en- are his writings. Up to this
time he has declined the most
tiattering terms to lecture, but
last week the Southern Lyceum
Bureau, of Louisville, succeeded in
closing a contract with the
Philadelphia editor. Mr.. Box has
chosen the Southern field entirely
because he wishes to acouaint
himself with the South and its
people, and has stipulated that
his lecturing tour shall be so ar.
ranged as to allow him time for
social engagements and observa-
ton. He will not speak more
than three times each week, and
will spend seven weeks in the
South.

Explosion of The Battle

Many of the Crew Killed or

Able to Explain the Cause of
the Disaster-H Occurred at

Havana, February Is. - Bulletin
AT quarter of ten O'clock this ev.
ening terrible explosion took place
on board the United States cruiser,
Maine, in Havana harbor.
Many were killed or wounded. AL
the boats of the Spanish cruiser
Alfonso XII are assisting.
As yet the cause of the explosion
is not apparent. The wounded sail
ors of the Maine are unable to ex.
plain it.
1t is believed that the cruiser is
totally destroyed.
The explosion shook the whole
city. The windows were broken in
oil the houses.
The correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press says he has conversed
with several of the wounded sailors
and understands from them thai the
explosion took place while they we're
asleep, so they can give no particu

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1898.
KEEP COOL.

We are afraid that the untoward
accident which lost to our navy the
magnificent battle ship, Maine, in
Havana harbor may influence many
hot.headed Americans, especially in
the Congress, to say foolish things.
That the accident should have oc.
Cured just when it did is deplorable
indeed. 1t has required all the con.
servation that the country has in
stock to prevent the fool jingoes in
Congress and elsewhere from pre-
cipitating wholly useless and un
called for war with a friendly power.
1t is hoped that those people who
make business of stirring up the
country will drink nothing but seltz
er water for few days, until they
learn that the deplorable explosion
of the great battle ship could just as
we'll have occurred in Hampton
Roads as at Havana.

ABOUT MRS. DAVIS.

We copy today an article from
the Lynchburg News, explaining
Mrs. Davis's residence i'm a North
ern city. A Mr.. Wilson who does
the talking is either unfortunate
in his explanation or is designedly
malicious in putting words in Mrs.
Davis's mouth which we are quite
sure she did not use with the
meaning conveyed. The whole
truth of the matter is that the
people of the United States have
been so uniformity cOnsiderate
to Mrs. Davis and her daughter
that she has ceased to recognize
any sectional division, and having
literary wares to sell she has gone
to the place, we must acknowledge
as literary headquarters. Mrs.
Davis's residence in the north Or
elsewhere needs no explanation,
and certainly none from a north.
ern man who speaks from a sec.
tional standpoint.
Nothing could better demon.
strate the fact Of reunion and
restoration than that the widowand
daughter of the Confederacy live
in q northern city, but New York
is become so cosmopolitan that
only the few who yet remember
our late unpleasantncss and seek
to pcrpctuatc its unhappy conse,
quenccs regard it as northern
city. 1t is simply the literary and
commercial metropolis of great
country.

RETRENCHMENT

The dominant party in the Gen
eral Assembly stands pledged to
reform and retrenchment and of
course there are differing opinions
as to the best way to carry out the
promises the several members
made to the people.
That We need more revenue is
obvious and if it were not that
taxation is odious and unpopular
the problem would be easy of solu-
ton. If each citizen were COM
PEELED to pay at the present rate
on one-half or even one third of his
propertyIthe State treasurcy would
overflow with money. The man
who has only his spoil" to pay
for must pony up his full per cap
ita, but the rich man who has
thousands in Gne furniture, fine
pictures, bric-a- brac or bonds pays
on perhaps as many hundreds.
Instead of cutting down sala-
ries, already too low, amend the
plan of assessment.

says: Democratic newspapers that
ate pointing to the New England

fail to mention the fact that the saw.

Democratic newspapers are merely
meeting an Issue raised by the Re
publican papers and orators. Th.
cotton Mill operatives OF New En-.
gland were told that if they would
vote for Mckinley tariff act would
be passed which would open the
mills permanently and raise their
wages. Well, tariff act was passed
and il the wages of the operatives
had been raised the Globe. Democrat
would have been one Of that first
papers in the country to say that
the Dir gley law did it. Wages
however, have been cut throughout
New England, and is perfectly legit-
innate to charge it up to the Dingley
act. A tariff either affects wages or
it does not. If it affects them, then
it is just as much responsible for a
reduction as for an increase. If it
does not affect, why in the name Of
nine gods doesn't the Republican
party drop all its hypocritical claims
about Iaising wages by act of Con-
gress? One thing is certain, the
Dingley act has not prevented
cut in wages throughout New En-
gland. As for the savings ba nks
deposits, no one will seriously con
tend that the Dingley law has had
anything to do with them.-Mem-

The bladder was created for one MIR.

two ways. The first way is from i'm

second way is from careless local treat

CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy

cases. 1t Is situated back of and yery

srleI History Of the English language.

The Island of Britain, the homo
Of Celtic tribes, was for four hun
dred years part of abe Roman
Empire, which covered all south
ern Europe, northern Africa, and
western Asia. After the empire
grew weak, German worriors came
ih aud couqured the greater DBrt
Of the island. The language of
these Germans-the Angles and
Saxons-has given Us more than
half of the words we speak today.
After the Germans came the
Danes and made themselves mas.
ters of England. Then came the
Normans, who had learned the
drench language in addition to
their own.
The Celtic, Roman or Latin, Ger
man, Danish, Norman, French and
Greek languages mixed together
form the English language of mod
ern times. The fact that the words
we now use come to us from so
many different languages, being
coined not as scholars dictated but
as necessity demands, is one rea
son why they are spelled in con
1icting ways. 1t is to be hoped
that some day our spelling will be
reduced to one regular system.

ASKED TO RESIGN.

Senator Murphey, of New York.
has been invited by the Legisla,
ture of his State to resign his seat
in the United States Congress-. be-
cause he voted for the Teller reso
luton. Now some super.sensitive
people (of the gold bug order)
think that he must obey this nan.
date, since the Senator is the
mouth-piece of his State and last
year New York voted against free
silver, but he will probably do
nothing of the kind. Mr.. Murphy
can plead in extenuation of his
vote, that the Teller resolution
simply reaffirms a statute law
sOlemnly made and is in direct ac.
cord with the platform of every
national convention of both par-
ties. He can claim that his vote
is In support of the opinion whir h
John Sherman rendered to the
Senate Committee in 1873 and in
absolute sympathy with the oft
repented opinions of the President
OF the United States. He can say
that il he had failed to vote for
the Teller resolution, lie would
have been q coward aud revoln-
ZIONIST, and totally unfit to repre-
sent his people in the Senate or
anywhere else save Sing Sing.
All these things he can say but he
will probably just tell the Legisla
ture OF New York to go to thun-
der.
