CRUSADE no CONTINUE.

CRUSADE TO CONTINUE.
The Mayor has announced his inten-
ton OF continuing the crusade against
eNli doors of every calibrc until Will
mlngton becomes Sunday school
someone has suggested sending for Dr.
Iarkhurst, hut If he doesn't come soon
he Will find no work TO do. The spe-
clal 2olice force which was sworn in
during the recent race troubles and
has served faithfully ever since has
Deen sworn out and a permanent force
instituted. The applicants were requir-
cd to pass a rigid physical examination
ana prove good characters. When prop
cry uniformed no city in the South
can produce II finer looking body of
men. The force numbers thirty-onc
including a chief, captain, lieutenant
anu three sergeats.
NEGROES ON SCHOOL BOARD.
The County Board OF Education is at
saSt organized for work after many
NicisSitudes. y majority of the school
committeeman were negroes. and
these, as we'll as the white Republicans
refused TO resign. The board met a few
days ago. organized and just simply
removed the whole shooting match. and
appointed white men in their stcads
considering the experience they have
had along this line. the negro com
mltteemcn were very obdurate.
POLITICIANS DISGRUNTLED.
The bill to repeal the charter of the
city OF Wilmington, which was intro
duced in the House this week by Rep
resentative Rountrec, is n leading tonic
OF conversation just now. The amend
ncnts. which are included. take awav
inc appointive power of the aldermen
ana place 1t with n board of police and
lirc commissioners thus doing away
with ana preventing the accustomed
wire pulling. With the exception of a
few disgruntled politicians. the new
charter meets the approval of every
one. Under its provisions the Mayor
must be elected outside the board of al
dermen. n clause which is especially
satisfactory.

Civil war Correspondent.

Of the regular correspondents who
followed the army from 1861 to 1865
several notable writers have survived
John Russell Young. George Alfred
Townsend, whose battle pictures sur
pass everything of their kind in litera-
ture, is still a prolific contributor to
the press He spends his winters in
Washington and his summers at his
farm in Maryland, called Gaplands.
George W. Smalley is the New York
correspondent of the London Times.
Henry V. Boynton is chairman of the
Chickamauga park commission and
brigadier general in the volunteer army
Bull Run Russell is still writing in
London. Henry Willard is millionaire
with one place in Germany, another IN
Madison avenue, New York, and
third on the banks of the Hudson, near
Dobbs Ferry. Whitelaw Reid is editor
of the New York Tribune and was a
member of the peace commission. Ed
ward Il. House lives at Tokyo and
writes for several American papers. He
is the japanese representative of the
Associated Press. Joseph Howard, Jr..
still follows his profession in New
York, as also do Murat Halstead, W. +.
G.. Shanks and several others. In fact,
more of the men who became famous as
correspondents during the war are liv-
ing than are dead. They were nearly
all between 25 and 80 years of age at
that time, and it is only "a years since
the war closed. Chicago Record

A Good LESION For the Navy.

1t has been said that Commodore
Dewey sought to obtain the command
of the Asiatic station because he foresaw
the opportunity that was to come to
him. In one sense this is true. Dewey
has always been a man Of action q nat
ural fighter That he went gladly to
the East Indies command, when at least
two other flag officers could have had
it if they had wanted it, and that he
preferred taking service afoat to any
kind of comfortable duty on shore, is
true. But it was the seaman's instinct
that led him rather than any prophetic
power. There were several questions Of
grave Importance likely to come before
the country, and Commodore Dewey
knew that the man in command at sea
is the man who is in position to make
opportunities for himself, while the men
who cling to easy billets ashore must
when warclouds threaten-stand around
and wait for chances to come to them.
1t was no mere chance that put
George Dewey in command in the east.
It was the logical working out of the
principles Of lifetime. The men who
had always had sufficient influence to
keep them in time of peace in easy
places in New York and Washington,
while others did the hard work of the
service at sea, discovered that all their
influence could not give them the places
of danger and of honor in time of war.
1t was a good lesson for the navy, and
it should be remembered by every
young officer. L. Stickney in
Harper's Magazine.

Railway Rates In Porto Rico.

A short line is in operation between
Yauco and Ponce, distance OF 20
miles, with two stations on the line at
Guayanilla and Tallaboa. This railroad
has an average annual income of 81, 76O
per mile, but it should be noted that
because of the high freight rates, 1928
per ton for % mile haul, or 10 cents
per ton mile, great part of the freight
carrying between Yauco and Ponce is
performed by OK carts, in successful
competition with the railroad. The
freight rates of the OK carts are not
much lower than those of the ra. way,
and the speed is about the same Besides
this excessive charge, the railway does
not offer the facilities which should OBJ
tain in this district. as it does notreach
TO the harbor of Ponce, where the great
bulk of business is done. Bulk must be
broken and the goods transferred.-An-
tonic Mattel Lluveras in Engineering
Magazine.

"it's going to be very severe scourg-
ing But if you want to take the posi-
ton of a substitute, you can do it. >
The boy said: ~ don't care; whip me.
I'll take it; he's only a poor chap.
Don't you see the bones almost come
through the flesh? Whip me-" And
when the blows came down on the boys
shoulders. this healthy, robust lad made
no cutlery; he endured it all uncom-
plainingly. We all say "Bravol" fer
that lad. Bravol That is the spirit OF
Christi Splendid How much scourg-
ing. how much chastisement, how much
anguish will you and | take for others
Oh, that we might have something OF
that boys spirit Aye, that we might
have something of the spirit of Jesus

A woman,s Voice.

Crusty old bachelors and henpecked
husbands have often expatiated on the
carrying power of woman's voice, but
the average man, with the memory of
soft, sweet words lingering in his mind,
has not hesitated to denounce such
statements as pure fiction. Scientific in
vestigation proves, however, that the
woman haters were right. An English
aeronaut has just registered on very
delicate instrument the human voice
heard at different attitudes. He has no.
ticed that the voice of a woman is audi
BILE in balloon at the height of exactly
two miles, while that Of man has
never reached higher than mile. There
is no reverberation in the sounds which
are carried to those attitudes, but the
sounds once heard are gone forever AZ
this point, however, the aeronaut and
woman hater part company, for the
latter is haunted by the reverberations.
Whatever else the experiment has
proved, it has certainly confirmed the
fact of the penetration of woman

Extraordinary Holdings of Gold.

The director of the mint is authority
for the statement that the United States
now holds 500, 900, 600 in gold. This
is an estimate, of course; for there are
no data available to determine the
amount held by repositories other than
the United States treasury and sub
treasures, the assay Offices, the clear
ing houses and the national banks, and
the holdings of these do not by a very
considerable percentage reach the total
indicated. Assuming that the estimate
is Approximately correct, however, the
gold in the United States would by far
exceed the amount held here at any
time heretofore
The largest sum of gold held in the
United States in any previous year, ac-
cording to the mint estimates, was
s7O5, S1S, $50, in 1888. The stock of the
precious metal held in the principal
countries of Europe, in Australasia and
in the United States in 1873 was ST.
900, SEQ, 600 According to the director
Of the mint the present stock of gold is
SO, 7S0 OOG. O00-which is more by ST.
500, O00;0OO than the total stock of both
gold and silver in the same countries IN
1875. -Eychange

wounded In Battle.

DR.. james Creighton Of Louisville,
who was one of the contract surgeons
on duty at the front during the Santi-
ago CAMPAIGN. was in the city the other
day, and in course of conversation some
body asked him whether much fear of
death was exhibited by mortally wound
ed men.
"Fear is hardly the word" replied
DR.. Creighton ga good many mortal
wounds did not produce any great shock,
and in such cases it seemed impossible
for the men to realize that they were
going to die The idea was monstrous,
unnatural, inconceivable, and they
ragged against it. They felt that some
thing could be done to save them, and
they rebelled bitterly at the thought OF
being blotted out. 1t was simply a
strong mans instructive grip on life
Other wounds were so benumbing that
the victims had no power TO resist the
inevitable. The nerve centers were
paralyzed, the springs of energy snap
ped and the vital forces so shattered
that they accepted death as do wornout
old men.
"Between those two extremes were all
manner of gradations. There is NO
standard of behavior in the face of i'm
minent death. 1t is entirely matter of
vital force. Very few men sent mes
sages. Those who realized fully that
they must die were silent, mostly, and
seemed to be thinking. am speaking,
of course, of cases in which death en-
sued very shortly after the wound, not
of those who fingered in the hospitals. "
