Noble Life.

The impression produced upon my
| mind when l first heard Frances Will
lard address one of the annual con-
! ventions of the Woman's Christian
| Temperance Union in 1891 will never
be effaced. The charm of her speech,
like her w character, consisted in
it's manysidednesS, it's elOquence, its
| pathos, it's humor, and, above all, its
humanness, it's complete understand
ing of the lives and necessities of
| others. She was as some master must
clan, who is able to sweep all chords
| and yet continually recur to a melody
| tender and restful and sweet. She
| was so womLnly in her strength, so
}.joyous in her earnestness, and withal
so supremely spiritual, that she SEEM
| ed at all times as one who dwelt apart,
| and, indeed, to most of us who mourn
her today. the words that have been
constantly on our lips are these: I'VE
shall not see her like again." 1t is
unnecessary for me to dwell upon the
br .adth of the work that she has &C
complished. She has done far more
thar build a vast temperance organl-
cation the world over. 1t is true that
her conception has bound the women
of all lands in one great society; that
her enthusiasm has fired missionaries
to start out round the world carrying
with them their gospel Of a pure life
and a protected home; that hundreds
of men and women are today engaged
in p~hilanthropic work who never re-
allied their responsibility until they
met her; that armies of children are
enlisted in the great league for reform
who will grow up to be the home guard
Of Americas best interest; but she did
more than all this-she taught the
world that woman loses none of her
best attributes, her gentlest influence,
her strongest hold upon the affections
of husband or children, neglects none
of the sweet home ways, because she
realizes that life holds for her respon-
sibilities to humanity which she dare
not ignore.-Lady Henry Somerset, in
North American Review.

Old North Carolina, true to her ira
ditions, is the first to lay her offering
of blood on the altar of her country.
AS the first man killed in the Confed-
crate war was her son Henry Wyatt,
so her son Worth Bagley is the first
American to be killed in the Spanish
war.
1t was shocking news the Messenger
war bulletins announced yesterday
concerning the bombardment at Car
denas, Cuba, on Wednesday, as men,
toned more fully in the Associated
Press dispatches in the Messenger this
morning. While scouting in the har-
Dor the u. s. torpedo boat Winslow
was fired on by a masked battery only
a short distance away. The dispatches
tell of the destruction it caused, and
among five men slain it is seen that
that gallant young North Carolinian,
Ensign Worth Bagley, was killed.
Ensign Bagley has many relatives
and friends in Wilmington who are in
expressibly panied at his death. His
mother, Mrs. Addie Bagley, widow of
lie ldtc WI ". II. odSISy, luS we'll
known clerk of the North Carolina Su-
preme Court, resides at Raleigh, and as
also do his sister Mrs. Josephus Dan
iels, wife Of the editor of the Raleigh
News and Observer, and his brother,
Mr.. William Henry Bagley, city editor
of the Raleigh Times-Visitor. The
young man is a grandson of the late
Governor Jonathan Worth, and a
nephew of Wilmington's lamented Mr..
David G. Worth. Messrs. C. w. Worth
Mr.. James S. Worth, of. our city, and
DR.. Geo. c.. Worth, now a missionary
in China, are his cousins.
Ensign Bagley was born at Raleigh
and was aged about "a years. At the
age Of IS, in a competitive examination,
he won a cadetship at the United
States Naval Academy, at Annapolis,
Md. After a four years course he
years ago, and was assigned
to duty on the cruiser Mont
gomery. He was subsequently trans
ferred to the battleship Texas, and
about two month ago when the Wins
low went into commission, Ensign
Bagley was assigned to her upon re-
quest of her commander, and was her
executive officer. He was a modest
and manly fellow and was greatly es-
teemed by all who knew him. While
the Winslow was in a severe storm on
a voyage from Norfolk to Newport,
r. l., after she went into commission,
he behaved with such GOODNESS and
g%allantry and was so valuable in hand
ling the vessel that the secretary of
the navy wrote him a personal letter
commencing him for his skill, endu-
rance M daring.
Truly death loves a shining mark.
