HeWitts and the great body of college
 men. Does success in life mean the ability to amass fortunes and to accu-
 mulate millions? MT. Carnegie and
 Mr. Huntington think so. Mir. Hewitt
 and most men of education will nos agree with that, and MT. Hewitt, in his
 recent address at the fortieth com
 mencement of Cooper Union, gives
 some cf the reasons for dissent from the position assumed by Mir Carnegie and Mr Huntington. If they (Mr. Carnegie and MT. Huntngton) mean
 by their remarks that an education
 interferes with the accumulation of
 hundreds of millions Of dollars, then perhaps they are right said MT. Hew- itt. But what man will envy them? I do not know enc college bred man who ever started life with the sole aim Of making S100, ,000. The one ad- vantage of college education lies in the fact that it makes one free. What time can a man who is the slave ot his millions have to icOk to the higher things in life? If I were to have the choice of $100,000,000 or the pleasure had in my college days and the pleas ure I have had as the result of my edu- cation. I would quickly choose the lat ter Were I to choose the millions would receive, I would expect tC receive the scorn of my fellow men
 Tn short, the aim in life of these two classes is entirely distinct. One view loses sight of al forms of intellectual, artistic, and literary endeavar, cOncen- trating ambition and aspiration sim ply upon the accumulation of wealth. Success in life" means for the Car Degies and the HuntingtOns the pilIng up of fortunes; but that is not the cnly success worth striving for, and 1t is not the success for which the schools and colleges of the world are turning out the men whose careers and infu- ence are destined to change the course Of events and the map Of history. 1t is a great temptation for self-educated men to laud the sources of their educa- ton, and it is a temptation to which they easily succumb; but because they succumb to it there is no reason except that fact that they should take the narrow view and decry the advantages; of college education in the face or and universal proofs of it's benefits.-NeW York Sun.

FREDERICK FRALEY.

To be in full possession of al his faculties and actively engaged in an exacting business with the weight of ninety-five years resting on one s shoulders is to enjoy advantages from the Maker that are given to but few men, In congratulating Frederick Fraley, president of the Philadelphia board of trade, the NatiCnal beard of trade, and the Western Savings fund and active in the councils of all three upon the attainment of his ninety fifth year in complete enjoyment Of health and strength, it is a feeling that all Philadelphians should be proud of this courtly gentleman's ca reer and be glad to jcin with us in re ioicing with him upon such an occa- sion. We have here a grand old man of our own, one upon whom the title fits well, and who may rank with the grand old men Of history and stand high on the scroll. The North Amerl- can adds it's word of congratulation to the many which are reaching MT. Fra ley from all parts of the wOrld.-Phil- adelphia North American.

THE REQUEST OF THE PosTMEN.

The letter carriers all over the cOun- try, are taking active steps to bring to the attention of the national authcri- ties their claims for 2 better remuner- ation than is now given them by the schedule in force for years past. Under that schedule the postman starts in at s72O a year, and no. matter how long he serves or how faithful his labor he can never receive over S1,000 The public will generally agree with him that this is net just, much less liberal The position of postman is one Of trust. It requires industry, intelli- gence and fidelity, and the government compels a civil service examination and hedges the work around with ex- acting rules that are net made bur den upon thousands who command better remuneration in non-official en- ployments It is therefore a modest and proper request On their part, which will provoke no serious obj jec tion, that the maximum salary limit be advanced from S1,00O, the prevail ing rate, to $1,2O0. No Iaborers are mere worthy of their hire than the men who handle the correspondence Cf the nation with marvelously few errors and contribute largely to the reputation of what is beyond all com parison the greatest and best postoffice system in the world.

In a good many countries the an nouncement, such as has just been made, that a banking house would soon ship S1,O0O,O 900 in god to another country, would make a stir. It is an evidence of the wonderful resources and prosperity of America that it oc- casioned hardly more than passing notice in cur most sensitive financial center Gold exports are not regarded as a serious matter after all under present conditions, especially as this country now stands on the top of the list of nations in it's gold holdings, the amount of which is now estimated at about s1,OOO, 900 900. This is the best showing that this country has ever made, and no ether has ever equaled it. We can therefore well af- ford to ship a few millions to Europe without any injurious effect, as they will not be missed.

MILLIONAIRES AND COLLEGES.
Carnegie's and Huntington's Recent
 DeliVerances Discussed.

The Hon. Abram s. Hewitt recently made some interesting comments on an interesting topic, which had previ- ously been discussed by MT. c. P. Huntington and MT Andrew Carnegie. MT Carnegie has steadfastly declared against the practical education as against the so-called school of expert ence. There is great danger, said Nj. Carnegie, in overeducatiOn. Possibly that IS true, just as it is true that there is great danger in undereducation, if one may use the word. He added that a collegiate education more often inter fered with success in life. MT. Hunt ingtCn took the same vi1W, insisting that tco much education was detrl- ment and not a benefit to society. He supported MT. Carnegie in his state ments, but neither of them offered proof of the remarkable declaration that college education more often in terfered with than contributed to sue cess in life. Indeed, they would tinG considerable difficulty in substantial ing so sweeping an assertion.
 What is meant, for instance. hy success in life?" Here the Carnegies and the Huntingtons differ from the

THE MINISTER APoLoGIzED.

The following arecdote of Faraday, the great English scientist, is printed by the LondCn Chronicle:
 Lord Melbourne once announced to Faraday that it was his pleasing duty to offer him a pension, but, he added, q suppose all this science is humbug." :" Faraday at once replied: If that is your opinion, my lord, I decline the pension and retired Melbourne, OF meeting some of his colleagues, said: "I have had a strange thing happen; a man has declined a pension" But these gentlemen knew Faraday.s posi- tion and reputation better than the premier, and urged him to rectify he blunder Faraday was again inter viewed, but Melbourne was obliged to retract and apologize before the pen sion was accepted.

The cession by Spain of all her re- maining colonial possessions to Ger many gives hope that she has taken her last war lesson wisely to heart. She has seen the folly of tryiE,s to make a nation prosperous by bleeding dependent subjects, and evidently in tends to settle down and earn an hon est living through the arts and indus tries-the only real way Of gaining wealth and the power, stability and happiness that go with it. This last step in a troubled colonial career, which must seem So melancholy to the Spanish people. will prove a greater blessing than all the discoveries of her adventurers or the conquests of her soldiers. The only country that has not been drained and made poorer by distant colonies is England, and her profit balance is not large, though they add enormously to her naval power.

LOCAL ITEMS.
WHAT HAS RECENTLY TRANSFERRED
IN THE COUNTIES OF THIS
SECTION.

The West End Furnace at Roanoke has
been again put in operation, and made its
first blast on the 28th inst. The capacity
of the furnace is from l60 to 200 tons q
day, and it has been idle even since the
boom collapsed in 1892. Employment has
already been given to $50 men, and the
force willsbe increased.
A freight brakeman by the name Of
Charles Gilmore was struck and killed at
Radford at noon on the 9th inst. He had
just pulled the switch to let freight engine
from the yard, and stepped over on the
main line without noticing the approach
of the passenger train. He was twenty.
two years old, and from Christiansburg.
On Thursday evening of last week Mr..
Julian B. Harvie, of Shawsville, Va, was
killed at Coeburn, Va. He had recently
secured position on the Norfolk and
Western Railway, and in the discharge of
his duties tried to get on moving engine.
Before he could pull himself into the cab,
he was struck by car on another track,
receiving such severe injuries that he died
within two hours. He was twenty.three
years old and was an exemplary member
of the Presbyterian Church.
The United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals at Richmond on Saturday handed
down an opinion prepared by Chief JUS
tice Fuller in the case of the A. G. Wad-
ley vs. the Commonwealth. The United
States Circuit Court awarded several in
functions restraining the Commonwealth in
the prosecution of Wadley, who was in
dicted in the County Court of Wythe, in
1894, for the embezzlement Of some
100000, The case went.to the Supreme
Court Of the United States, and there the
Commonwealth won on December 5, 1898,
that court holding that the United States
Circuit Court had no jurisdiction whatever
to issue an injunction restraining such
prosecutions on the part of the State.
Thereafter Judge Paul, sitting as Circuit
Judge, dissolved the injunctions, in pur.
suauce of the mandate and opinion of the
United Supreme Court, and it was from
this order of dissolution that an appeal was
perfected to the Circuit Court of Appeals.
1t was contended by the attorney general
that such an appeal was indirectly an ap-
peal from the Supreme Court of the United
States itself; that the same was in violation
of the opinion and judgment of that court,
and was manifestly taken for delay, and
delay only. This motion was sustained in
the able opionion of Chief Justice Fuller,
which afiirms the judgment of the lower
court. II is hoped now by the attorney
general that this tedious litigation is over,
and that the Commonwealth will now be
enabled to resume her Jurisdiction and
prosecution of this case without further
Federal molestation.

sist Of essays, recitations and addresses.

the STORY DiSCREDITED.
Sensational Reports ConcernIng cuban
UprIsIss on Thanksgiving Day.

Havana, November 27.--Nothing is
known at headquarters in this division, or
in General Lees, to justify the report pub
Nished in the United States and cabled
back here, that thousand armed Cuban
insurgents have taken to the woods in the
province of Pinar Del Rio and that a
general uprising against the Americans has
been planned for Thanksgiving Day. In
deed the story is absolutely discredited by
the American authorities, who say it is i'm
possible that anything of the kind should
have happened or should be in prospect
without knowledge of it coming to come
army post.
RumoEs Of more or less alarmist charac'
ter have for some time been plentiful
around Havana. 1. is said, for instance,
that this general or that is about to take to
the woods, and it is apparently true that
certain men are nursing programs hostile
10 the American administration. But the
spread Of the campaign of education is
doing great deal to Offset the influence oi
such people and in any event no trouble
Whatever is likely to occur until after Con-
Gress meets.
Itias fact, houeyer, ,:that many Ameri,
cans here believe that II nothing is done
toVaSd giving the Cubans soma definite
assurances, If not precise date, regarding
the independence of the island, there will
be rising Of some sort, although opinions
differ widely with regard to what it will
amount to. Some believe that the NAL
contents would be practically bandits,
easily controlled by few troops. Others
hold that the rising would be formidable
and would call for large American force.
