partnents.

The expected rumors that General
Manager Hallstead would sever his
connection with the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western company broke
forth into print last week. and, as was
to be further expected, they culmin-
ated yesterday in positive" stories
that he had resigned. The resignation,
according to these stories, was handed
in last week and promptly accepted.
1t was to go into effect in six months,
and then Mr.. Hallstead would become
associated with the Lchigh Valley
road
Yes, ] have seen the stories" said
Mr.. Hallstead, smilngly, when ques-
toned on the matter yesterday by a
Tribune reporter. "They are on a par
with the rest of the yarns now afloat
concerning the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western company, and which the
men on the road call stove committee
stories / have not resigned. You can
say that positively. What I may do,
|, of course. can not say. No one can
map out with certainty what his future
course will be-"
DO you contemplate resigning?" was
asked.
HAS NJ SUCH lDEA.
Mr.. Hallstead looked out the window
for a moment, as if carefully framing
his answer. and then said with en-
phasis: "No. do not at present con-
template resigninE. There is no ground
whatever for such a story"
When asked if he knew anything as
to the truth of the story that Superin-
tendent Bogart proposed to give up the
railroad business on account of ILL
health, Mr.. 1Iallstead said: mo. no,
there is no truth in that. Those stories
as far as they affect Mr.. Bogart and
myself are wholly without foundation"
Stories were also atloat to the effect
that a number of mine superintend-
onts had been asked to resign and that
several additional changes had been
made in Superintendent Fitzgibbon' S
department.
Superintendents Bert Green, of Belle
vue; Langstaff of the Diamond, and
| Cooper, Of the Taylor were mentioned
as among those in the coal depart
| ment who were to be displaced. In
| only one case could the story be veri-
| fed, that of Superintendent Green. His
| resignation went into effect Saturday
| and NJ. ]. Mackin, who was q clerk in
| the superintendents office, was placed
in his stead.

Mr.. Fitzgibbon also gave it out that

Work at Port Royal Will Now
Proceed.

Washington, May 24.- -Exten-
sive work on the governmental
naval station at Port Royal, S. G.,
will now proceed, after it has
been held up for some time by a
question raised as to the title of
the water front between high and
low tide. The navy department
has not proceeded pending this
controversy, but requested the
attorney general for the opinion
as to the governments rights.
Today the navy department re-
ceived MIR. Grigg's opinion that
the government title was secure,
and, IN accordance with it, work
on the engineering shops and other
features of the plan will be pushed
at once.

Act to Prevent drunkenness anG
Shooting Upon the Highways.

There is a law on the statute
book of South Carolina which is
very much a dead letter. This
law was approved by the governor
on the Sd day of March, 1899. 1t
is entitled: can Act TO Prevent
Drunkenness and Shooting Upon
the Highway" The provisions
of the law are very plain, simple
and easily understood:
"That any person ~ho shall en-
gage in any boisterous conduct
under the influence of into xicatin q
liquors, or while feigning to be
under the influence of such liquors,
or without just cause or excuse
shall discharge any firearms while
upon or within fifty yards of any
public road except upon his
premises, shall be guilty of mis-
demeanor, and upon conviction
thereof shall pay fine of not
more than one hundred dollars,
or be imprisoned for not more
than thirty days"

Then with a glorious rebel shout

Suggestions for the Benefit of
"Pot" and Others.

tnat IN thlS world or activity, IN
this time of tumult and strife,
while men are advancing like
angry waters, tossing the rocks
and crags of misfortune from
their paths and wrenching from
its place each opposing barrier,
we find some characters who care
not for self or humanity, but con>
tent themselves with idling away
time that is precious, by at
tempting to injure 3 men or saints
through the Press. These are
the men who are made dupes of,
who aspire to be nothing of value
and whose existence is represented
not by noble deeds, as it should
be, but by a bundle Of bones
wrapped up in flesh. These have
never improved on mere nature,
their sole object in life being mere
sport. To them there Is no kind
word of caution that would he
needed, no friendly advice that
would merit their appreciation.
With those men who thus choose to
waste the time given them by
wise and just Creator, we can
only sympathize. Let our as
pirations be high. Every man
should be ambitious to improve,
and without that ambition life can
be but a failu.e. That life is a
failure that does not grow daily
in body and mind, when intellect
goes to seed, and the mind, that
great gift of the Creator which
distinguishes man from brute, be-
comes morbid; when hope ceases
and ambition loses it's influence
upon the soul when ii recognizes
in self a standard for others to
live by, The destiny of the age
is in the hands of the people of to
day. If they are worthy of this
charge nothing is lost, and the
history will continue to improve
in the future as it has in the past.
To be or not to be, that is the
question. We must either live In
the truest sense of the word or
We perish ere we have lived. If
we have existed and merely vegi,
tated, it were far better we had
never been born.
We are sorry to see that some
unjust critics, who suppose them
selves to be in proper position
to criticize the lives of men are
daily growing stronger in their
belief that 3 men cannot lead an
upright life and to be worthy of re-
spect without devoting their life
to certain extent to certain
teacher. 1t is needless, however,
to say that this is a mistaken idea. ,
There are heroes in the army of
life who know nothing of the
arduous duties of missionary.
About the worst enemy civilization
has to contend with is the hypo-
crit. TIE impudence with which
these self,!esteemed creatures are
to indentify them
selves with the better element of
humanity is fact worthy of
notice. In all cases the hypocrit
is most likely to meet with his
Just reward. Ere long he loses
the respect Of those who once
reverenced him, and eventnallyl
public sentiment rises to such a
degree of indignation that he is
scoffed at on the streets and in
other public places. Such charac-
,ers are a burden. The air is too
scarce to furnish breathing for
such material. We should do
way with Jonahs before the
