publican candidate for governor, and
to the republican candidates for the
other offices on the state ticket The

RAILROADING IN OLD DAYS

T was greatly interested the other
 day" said passenger conductor who runs into New Orleans, in looking over an old schedule of the South Caro- lima Railroad, printed just forty seven years ago, in the fall of '52. It is hard to realize what tremendous changes have taken place within the memory of people who are now alive and hearty
 h the JOS the South Carolina line was considered one of the best equipped and fastest roads in the country. I find by the old schedule that the night ex- press between Charleston and Colum- bia, which is a distance of about 13O miles, made the trip, when it had good luck, in twelve hours and fifteen min utes but the public was warned not to expect such a feat every day. The freight service between the two points was scheduled to cover the run in twenty-nine hours, there or tbere- abouts. That was a shade better than four and one-half miles an hour and was considered so fast that there is special order to trainmen to stop at the first siding in dense fogs and wait for same to lift It seems to me that or- der gives one a wonderful picture of

the good old times. Think of a through freight roasting on q siding, waiting for a fog to lift! Nowadays the pas- senger trains make the run from Charleston to Columbia in four hours exactly. According to the 52 schedule, there was an express that left Charles ton at D. m. and arrived in Hambprg at the following morning. The dis tance is 136 miles. freight for Aiken, 120 miles away, left at the same hour, and reached it's destination at $40 next night Ten miles an hour was consid- cred remarkable speed for passenger trains in those days, and an old inhab- itant told me that many people de- clined to risk their neck at such a gait From what I hear of the rolling stock and equipment, they showed their good sense. ."-New Orleans Times-Dem- ocrat.

THE FUTURE OF FRANCE

That the drift of events in France ie towards some great change, the pivot of which will be the creation of much stronger Executive, with great powers vested in an individual, we have re- peatedly affirmed our belief, and we see no reason to change 1t; but the point of interest just now is not what will happen next week. but what will occur tomorrow, and about this all prognosticationS seem to us little fu- tile because the conditions are so im- perfectly known. It seems to be ad- mitted on all hands that France is dis satisfied, restless, i'll at ease in her con- science, i'll at ease in her pride, i'll at ease, above all. at the non-appearance of effective leaders, want she feels go keenly that she is half disposed to manufacture them, attributng all the great qualities to any one mometarily visible above the crowd But of the ideas which would make this discon- tent active we at present see none. It Is hard to believe that the real people including the soldiers are ready to tol- crate new St. Bartholomew or to support a bill for the expulsion of Jews and Protestants as 'intriguers against France" It ie equally hard to believe that France is ready now, this mo- ment, for King, an Emperor, or dic- tator, when she most unquestionaby has not fallen in love with any indi- vidual or any system. And it is hard est of all to believe that the bonds of the army will break" that. to speak plainly, there will be mutinous pro- test either against conscription or against the present ultra severity of discipline The latter protest is almost unknown in modern armies, the men avenging themselves on individuals, but submitting to the system as indis- pensable to insure victory in the field. Their feeling Is that of the men ip a pirate ship-that discipline is an aboIn- ination, but that if the captain is not supported there will be no prizes. There is an indisposition in modern so ciety to push anything to extremity. France is certainly restless, but it is with the restlessness which makes a man turn and turn in his bed instead of getting up.-London Spectator.

THE GRANDMOTHER'S BIRTH

It is charged by some foreigners who visit this country that Americans are less deferential to the aged than are the people of other countries. It is certain that we might learn something from the simple peasants Of the Tyrol in regard to giving to the aged the lov- ing and dutitul homage to which their declining years entitle them. An ex- change gives the following from pri- vate letter:
 The morning of our arrival we were awakened by the sound of a violin and flutes under the window, and, hurrying down, we found the little house adorned as for a feast-garlands over the door and wreathing the high chair which was set in state
 The table was already covered with gifts brought by the young people whose music we had heard. The whole neighborhood were kinsfolk, and these gifts came from uncles and cous- ins in every far off degree. They were very simple, fol the donors are poor knitted gloves, shawl a basket of flowers, jars of fruit. loves of bread: but upon all some little message of love was pinned.
 Is there bride in the houee?' I asked of my landlord.
 'Ach neinr he said. We do not make such a bother about our young people. It is our grandmother's birth day
 The grandmother, in her spectacles, white apron and high velvet cap, was a heroine all day sitting in state to re- ceive visits and dealing out slices from sweet loaf to all who came. I could not but remember certain grandmothers at home, just as much loved as she, probably, but whose dull, sad lives. were frightened by any such pleasure as this, and l thought that we could learn much from these poor mountain eers.

THE MOUNT CARMEL HOME

 MEETING.

Officers Elected and Other Bushes | Transaeted-Many Delegates Presen Mrs. c. E. Blake. The second annual meeting of the Connecticut Woman's auxiliary of thu Mt. Carmel Childrens home was helC yesterday al the United church chapel The convention lasted all day. At 10:l( a. m. the programme opened with de. votional service conducted by MrB. J G. Lewis.

 The exercises were resumed after a luncheon and were attended by dele gates from other branches Of the soci- ety in this state.
 An attractive programme, consisting of readings and musical selections, was carried out. In addition to the several addresses there were numbers by Mrs. Esther Keshishian of Bridgeport, Miss Laura Milford of Branford and by Rev. and Merry Henry Medd of Berlin
 The annual address by Mrs. Mary B. Moody, M. D., president of the auxiliary, was simply an appeal for more enthu- siasm. This york; she said, needs both sympathy and sustenance." Then she recounted her recent visit to a home in California where everything was clean and immaculate, The Cal ifornia Sunshine" she said, has &C., complished much in the promotion of health and clealiness. We have not that advantage in New Haven, but we must do the best we can, and do it cheerfully."
 "Watchman, What of the Night?" was the subject of Mrs c. F. Blake's essay. The paper was suggestive and encouraging. She said that what hu- manity most needed was a love of God that we might equally love others. Then she appealed to the Philistines, saying that humanity asked for bread and had been given stone. It was their studied that made so many difficult ties.
 There is too much luxury in the world" continued Mrs. Blake. But need not be exactly given away it may be put where 1t will draw inter- est payable in the life to come. Thus treasure will be laid up in heaven. Gen erosity and love Is what the world needs most" She concluded by stating a few wants of the Mt. Carmel home, among which was nursery.
 At the close of the exercises many of those present left on the trolley for visit to the home.

STRAY PARAGRAPHS.

Though men give you their ad-
vice gratis, you will often be cheated
if you take it.
When once woman loses conf
dence in a man every truth he tells
her sounds like lie.
AN irate father undertook to
chastise an undutiful son, nearly as
large himself, in the Fourth ward,
Tuesday night, but was hoored-pros-
trated by S0n-ShOke.
1t is in vain to hope to please all
alike. Let man stand in what
direction he will, he must necessarily
turn his back on one-half of the
world.
Some persons, after becoming SO
bad that they can't expect to go to
heaven, seem to rest all their hopes
upon making themselves so much
worse, that Satan won't have them.
Those people who turn up their
noses at the world might do we'll to
reflect that it is as good a world as
they were ever In, and a much better
one than they are likely to get in
again.
