DR.. Jerome A. Anderson delivered an in
teresting lecture last evening to the men,
bers of the Universal Brotherhood at the
Academy OF Sciences Hall on the subject
of "Occultism." A large audience listened
attentively TO an address on the hidden
forces Of nature. DIR. Anderson said in
part:
hidden forces of nature II deals with
the sources of things. In studying this
subject we try TO relate the soul to the
permanent. spiritual and real God Oc-
cultism Is divided into red and white and
black magic. Black magic consists in the
use of these hidden forces for selfish pur-
poses. In red magic the motives are
mixed. Revivalists and Christian Scien-

THE old monitor Camanche made
her first trip on the bay yesterday
i as collier. She was loaded with
black diamonds and towed over
TO oakland Creek. Strange 10 say, she
made her new departure within a
stones throw of the place where she
made her debut as a United States
monitor more than thirty years ago.
Inc Camanche was built in Jersey
City by Peter DeHshtfe- t,ff t,ff San San Fran
cisco. II. Ryan. a pioneer of Humboldt
County, and Mr.. Secor of New Jersey
in 1862. The parts were put together
temporarily, and then. when every
thing was seen to fit, they were taken
apart and loaded on the ship Aquilla.
The vessel arrived in San Francisco
November 10. 1863. and was docked at
Harrison-street wharf. A Southeaster
came up and the Aquilla was sunk at
her moorings. Divers were sent out
from New York and the vessel was
raised. After that the parts of the
Camanche were taken TO a place on
Berry street, between Third and
Fourth, and there put together. The
launching OF the monitor was a public
holiday, and Miss Nellie Mcguire. a
relative OF Peter Donahue, christened
the vessel.
The launching of the collier Ca
manche was attended without any
ceremony. Her machinery. guns. tur-
rets and armor We're removed at the
Union Iron Works and in Oakland
Creek. and hoisting machinery put in
their place. AS soon as the alterations
had been completed the collier went
at once into commission.

DR.. RAIDER LECTURES ON
THE TRAGEDY OF HAMLET"

The Rev. DIR. RAIDER lectured last night
at the Third Congregational Church on
the tragedy of Hamlet" His treatment
or the subject was closely followed by a
large audience. He said in part:
Hamlet Is Shakespeare's most popular
character. In him the master has crowded
all the passions OF the soul. Many actors
nave delineated this character. Hamlet saw
enough TO make an ordinary mind tremble.
The tragedy has been called a tragedy OF
thought. The ghost asks for vengeance. and
Hamlet hesitates. for which he has been
crlticlzed from the days OF Goethe until now,
but for which he should be praised This
Is the lesson OF the tragedy, that punishment
belongs TO God. President Mckinley. when
the war broke out. standing between the
party OF revenge and the party OF patience.
was n good illustration Of Hamlet. The
ghosts OF the dead seemed TO cry Tor re-
Nenge, but he Justly hesitsted.

An elaborate dinner was served In way
that would have done credit to New York

the toast making followed, Of which
this is full list:
"The health Of the w P & YR."
"'rhe officials Of the two goyemments.'
"The gallant engineers"
"The honest contractor"

"Our spiritual advisers"

All Of which were responded to with
great gusto.
Mr.. Heney, In proposing the toast to the
railroad, went fully into the details Of the
progress Of the construction work; the
many difficulties and dangers eontended
with; the obstacles placed In the way BY
many parties who were supposedly ftiends
Of the project the splendid way In which
all such complications had been met by the
lndomltable will Of the construction chief,
Mr. Hawkins.
Mr.. Henev was followed by Rev. Sin.
clair, who euloglzed the preceding speaker
in the highest terms and spoke very
touchlngy Of the many klndnesses Of
heart S, often displayed by him.
Division Engineer Flood, speaking for
the engineering corps, said that they all
appreciated very highly the many compl'
ments passed upon them that afternoon In
praise Of their difficult work; and ihese
repaid them for all the dangers whiehthsy
had encountered
Capt. Cartwright touched lightly on
the very friendly relations which had al
ways existed between the railroad officials
and the representatives Of the Canadian
government In British Columbia, and as
sured all that there had never been such
whole-souled cooperation between anv
two existing bodies OF men.
Capt. Rant followed with some general
remarks about the rapid and very excellent
manner In which the railroad work. had
BEEN carried out, and grew enthusiastic
over the great advancement Of eivllizing
influences which the completion Of the
railroad meant. He also spoke Of the great
difference in the cost Of getting supplies
into the interior and emphasized the fact
that the railroad would confer inestimable
benefits on the interior Of wide'spreading
Alaska.
Mr. Gray spoke briefly to the effect that
this was the prOudest day Of his life and
that he intended to send every man,
woman and child In the world, who could
read. full account Of the great event that

Mr.. John iiislop told an apt story IT,
Iustrating the good feeling existing be-
tween the Canadian and U. S. government
officials and the officers engaged on the
construction work. and expressed hope
that such cordial friendship would con.
tinue for all time.
The one thing that detracted from the
universal good feeling manifested during
the evening was the feeling that the party
was not complete without the presence Of
the highly esteemed General Superintend-
ent, Mr.. E. C, Hawkins. 1t was felt and
expressed by all that II was principally
owing to his remarkable energy and In

that the cage over the main feed pipe In

him leader Of men, he soon began the
study of law, since he desired TO be on
an equal footing with the men whom he
saw rising to prominence around him.
His native county remained the scene
of his early aspirations for some time.
Here ne soon gained the entire conf
dence Of the people, and rapidly built
up a large and profitable law practice.
So widely did he become known as an
able lawyer throughout the county that
he was chosen county attorney, and in
this office he ably performed all the du-
ties to which he was called. His indom-
liable energy, sterling qualities, and ma
tural tendency toward leadership soon
carried him to the front in the struggles
and turmoil of political life. He was
called upon to represent Yadl1in county
in the Legislature. and he did SO with
distinction. In 1892 he was a candi-
date for Congress from the Eighth Con-
gressOnal District In the meantime
his fame as Il lawyer had kept pace with
his progress in public life, and he had by
this time become known as one Of the
best lawyers in the State. In fact, for
twenty years he was the leading spirit
in his county, both as an attorney and
a politician.
In 1894 Mr. Holton was chairman of
the State Republican Executive Com
mittee, having charge of the campaign

which resulted in the carrying Of the
State for the Republican party. Then
ii was that Daniel T.. Russell was elected
Governor, ard that a Fusion Legisla,
ture was put in. This was the first time
the State had gone Republican since
1874, and the success of the party was
largely due to the policy of Fusion with
the Populist party. That movement and
it's ultimate success were due to the
efforts of Mr. Holton more than to any
one else. The fact that he was the main
spring in originating the Fusion policy
and the agent Of its successful tcrmina-
ton at once stamped him as one of the
best politicians of the time.
Again in 1896 he was chairman of the
State Executive Committee, and in that
year, too, the State went Republican,
eight out of nine Congressman elected
being Republicans. In 1893 he held the
same position in the management Of the
campaign, and is chairman at the present
time.
Perhaps in recognition of Mr.. Hol-
tons great services to his party, Presi-
dent Mckinley appointed him United
State District Attorney for the West
ern District Of North Carolina. This
office he now occupies, and performs
his duties with characteristic energy
and dispatch. lie now resides in Win
ston, Forsyth county, and has an elc-
CANT suite Of offices in the Wachoyia
Loan and Trust Company's building,
equipped with a splendid law library
and all the appurtenances Of the pro-
fession.

Among its many men prominent III
public life, North Carolina counts quite
number that the world styles self
made men" Men of this type are usu-
ally found to be cast in a strong mould,
riding over difficulties THAT to some
would be permanent barrier to adj
yancement. To obtain a professional
education while engaged in other work
is a Stupendous undertaking, and only
men of the most indomitable will and
untiring energy can accomplish it. When
we add to these qualities brilliant
and intellectual mind, the result is a
man that is qualified by nature and
training for the leadership or men.
One Of the foremost Of the class Of
men described above in North Carolina
is the Hon. A. r. Holton, of Winston,
Forsyth county. He is a lawyer of the
most brilliant attainments, of logical
mind, and Of vast legal learning. He is
eloquent as a pleader and searching as a
cross-examiner and judicial as an adj
wiser.
Mr.. Holton was born in Yadkin coun-

AS INSURANCE COMMISSIONER
OF North Carolina. A Life Time Experience
in the Insurance Business Makes Film
the Best Qualified Man in the
State for the Position.

MES always springing up, and a better
man, or one more thoroughly conversant
with the work, could not possibly be
found. The duties of the office are the
collection OF all taxes due from iIlsur-
ance companies, the supervision of all
companies doing business in the State,
and the enforcement of AL laws govern
ing insurance companies doing business
in the State. 1t is more than probable
that Mr.. Young will collect nearly one
hundred thousand dollars year in
taxes from insurance companies. From
all this it viii be seen that the office re-
qtires a man of sterling integrity, bust
ness ability, and a complete knowledge
of insurance in all its branches. These
qualifications, all who are acquainted
with Mr.. Young know he is formed Of
to an extent acquired by few men.
The creation Of the office of Insurance
Commissioner will be the cause of the
collection of more taxes and OF furnish
ing cheaper and better insurance to the
people of the State. 1t is an office that
has been needed in North Carolina for
many years, as a great deal of insurance
of all kinds is carried on in this State.
Mr.. Young hat numerous friends, is

BY an act of the General Assembly
of 1899, the bill creating the office of
Insurance Commissioner for North Caro-
lima was passed. This necessitated the
election by the Legislature of Il man
with vast amount OF experience IN the
insurance business. Many applications
for the office were before that body, and
among which were some of the best men
and Democrats to be found I'M the State.
There were many Older candidates with
longer party service; but the Legislature
elected the subject of this sketch be-
cause he was not only a good Democrat
and hard party worker, but because
he was peculiarly fitted for the position
by twenty-five years experience IN the
general insurance business, and who was
the almost unanimous choice of the
Democratic body. Hon. James X.
Young needs no introduction to the peo-
pie or the Democratic party of the State,
for his life has ever been commensurate
with deeds for the success of his party,
which he truly believes is the only hope
for North Carolina.
Mr.. Young is a North Carolinian by
birtn, and is descended from am old
and distinguished ancestry, his father

very popular in society, business and po-
litical circles He is a Mason and
member of the l. O. o. r., having held
various positions in different lodges.
SO far, in the performance of the du-
ties of his office, Mr.. Young has by ne
means disappointed his friends in their
expectation Of the business-like and ABIDE
way that hc would conduct the Office.
And it may be said that it is by no
means an easy task for any man to take
hold of newly created Office, and trans
act the work as he knows it should be
carried on. To accomplish such a task
is a proof of a man of ability and exc
cutiye management far beyond the or
binary Mr.. Young's long experience IN
insurance matters, and also i'll general
business and court duties, has stood INN
I'M good stead in this trying ordeal, and
added to this his natural qualities OF
mind and character have carried him
through the most difficult period of his
work. 1t is little to say he has covered
himself with glory, and the chances are
he will continue to do so more and
more, for to-day he lis the best qualified
man in North Carolina for the position
which he holds.
There is no doubt that in enforcing the
new insurance laws Mr.. Young is hay
ing difficult task, but we look to see
the outcome satisfactory TO both sides,
as it is no part of Mr., Young's charac-
ter, hike him who was clothed in lit
tie brief authority" to be harsh on
tyrannioal in carrying out his duty. On
the contrary Mr.. Young's disposition is
ever to adjust as nearly as possible all
differences so as to give each side all
that is justly due them.
In concluding the sketch of North
Cardinals first Insurance Commissioner
it is but just to say that Mr.. Young 5
record in that office will be hard to SUR
pass. He is a man that is at all times
pleasant and affable, and is a man well
suited by nature for the difficulties OF
his responsible office and justly holds the
confidence of the people. He has
most comprehensive and well balanced
mind and his actions in all matters are
always taken with a view to advance
the general prosperity of the people, and
personally he is a fine conversationalist,
and is fitting example of what cam be
accomplished by industry and close at
tention to business, for he is indeed q
self made and much respected man.

SanitariIlms for the treatment of all
the ills that flesh is heir to are most
commendable institutions. In modern
times they are receiving the attention
Justly accorded them by the most en-
lightened public sentiment. The hui
name wealthy classes have seen no better
way. to serve humanity and to perpetu-
ate their names than to contribute to the
establishment of comfortable homes
where the invalid and the overworked
may be treated to the best advantage.
These sanitariums seem to be modern
necessities. Life, at best, is holly lived
and but for rest and relaxation the life
of the modern business man would be
greatly shortened. A month or six
weeks vacation each year spent at a
healthful place, under the direction Of
a trained physician who gives advice
as to diet, exercise, ETC.. is of the utmost
Importance to the person who would re-
tain his vitality and physical powers.
The Southern Pines Sanitarium was
established in 1898 for the treatment
of chronic and nervous diseases. Every
facility is afforded for the very best
treatment in every possible way. All
the apparatus and appurtenances for
the treatment of tuberculosis eases
have been provided and patients may
expect to find only the most expert
treatment The Sanitarium makes a
speciality of the treatment Of pulmonary
and tuberculosis cases. The Sanitarium
is also equipped with all the latest cleo
trical appliances which have been found
of so much Importance in the treat
ment of the above diseases. 1t is
a known fact that there are diseases
which can be more successfully treated
by the aid and use of electricity and
the aim of the. Sanitarium has been
to supply this demand and necessity.
The equipment also includes apparatus
for massaging the lungs and for the
treatment of deafness.
The office building of the Sanitarium
is located ON the corner of N. I'll. Avenue
and Railroad street. 1T consists Of
twelve rooms and is lighted by electric
ity. A large and elegantly furnished
building provided with every comfort
and convenience for the care and
treatment of patients will be opened
by October list of this year. Trained
nurses will be in attendance.
