than otherwise, spoke first for the bill
his eyes filled With tears while he ap-
pealed to Senators to thus commem-
crate "the States greatest citizen"
He declared that be stool ready at all
times to do anything to perpetua.e the
memory of Zebulon B. Vance. Vance
had fed him when hungry and clothed
him when a naked Confederate SOL
der. He was the greatest man North
Carolina had ever produced He
wished the appropriation we're $4,000
instead Of $4,000.
Senator Speight asked that the bill
be put on Its immediate passage.
Senator Williams said, like the Sem
ator from Swain, he was too full for
utterance. The first vote he had ever
cast was when he was 16 years Old and
1t was for Zebulon B. Vance. No man
should vote against the bill.
Senator Butler said it was always
pleasure to hear the name OF Vance !;
he had always held up Zebulon B.
Vance as an exemplar to the young.
Senator Cooke said that no vote OF
his had been cast with more pleasure
than the vote Tor monument for
Zebulon Vance, who lived to reflect
honor on North Carolina. No man
in North Carolina had done more for
the interest of the commonality than
Vance. Speaking through her repre-
sentatives North Carolina would be
ungrateful to his memory not to pass
the bill.
Senator Hicks said that as Vance
climbed higher and higher he held his
place in the hearts of his people. He
had asked that when he died he might
be carried back to where he could
overlook North Carolina.
Senator Glenn said he only regre:-
ted that the appropriation was not
large enough. He had known
Vance when he met an intellectual
giant in the campaign OF 1876. TO
North Carolina he had been true in
days OF war and in days OF peace.
North Carolina had never shown her
loyalty to his memory by the erection
OF monument to one OF the greatest,
trucst and best Of citizens.
Senator Smith said he Was a men,
ber of the Legislature of 1895, when
the vote was taken for the Confederate
monument on capitol sqnare. When
a man did we'll it was right to Lonor
him in life when he had passed away
it was duty to preserve his memory
to posterity. 1t was pitiful to sea Low
little North Carolina hal done for her
great dead. 1t was fitting that the
memory Of the great commoner
should be preserved, the man whose
history ior years was the history of
his State.
Senator Bryan said no words could
do justice to the memory OF Vance
He rose to say that if a monument
was to be built to such a man build a
worthy one. He had asked that an
amendment he sent up to raise the
amount to SIS 900. Build a monument
worthy of Vance AMI of the honor of
the State.
Senator Fuller said he did not rep
resent the wealth of North Carolina,
but he represented the gratitude.
Vance had passed the quivering bars
of sunset. A monument should te
built to him around whose base CRATE
fal hearts might gather.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted by rising vote.
HOUSF.-The school law was dis
cussed at length without any final
vote. The old law of 1898 seemed to
be favored by some.

A lew nights ago made two statement S
that neop.e OF this country will regard

saiG that "a clergyman in England at

The following day DIR. Watson in
addressing body of ministers made
pleasing reference to the attitude O:
the English people towards America in
our late war crises. He said
"Every one On the other side rejoic-
ed during the recent war for a just
cause that the flags OF the two coun'

that the flags and the navies and the
armies of America and Great Britain
may be together tor one cause"

One of Millions.

Once upon time there lived man
who wanted only few things that
every body wants. He wanted plenty to
eat and drink, leisure and the woman
he loved But he found that to have
time to himself to make it possible to
live pleasantly with his sweetheart and
give her all he wanted and to take care
of the children that they might have
to do all this he must have great deal
of money. So he went to work and
built up a great business, a very COM
plicated machinery. To this money
producing machinery he was forced to
give most of his energy. 1t gave him
no time for leisure, no energy for en-
joying the sunshine, his wife and chill
dren. But he began to enjoy the ma
chinery of his business.
When he had made large fortune,
the only thing he enjoyed was the ma
chinery by which he could make more
money. He had lost his interest in the
things for which he began his business.
Perhaps he still had interest in food,
his wife and all the naive physical and
sentimental pleasures, but it was a
blunted, dull interest. The only live
interest he had was his business. New

A Fortune In n Kiss.

It was a kiss which made the fame
and fortune of one of the leading artists
in France today.
When he was young student in the
Quarter Latin, Paris, he came to the
end of the slight resources left by his
parents and was almost on the verge of
starving.
In moment of hilarity he stole a
kiss from pretty pair Of lips he met
in the street and was quickly called to
account by the offended girl.
When he made his appearance in
court, the presiding judge asked if he
was relative Of Maitre c., a ia
nous French advocate of the sixties.
81 am his son. the culprit answer
ed. After inficting a small fine the
judge asked the young man to call on
him in the evening.
It transpired that the young artist S
father had been the judges dearest
friend and adviser many years earlier,
and the judge, who was bachelor, was
delighted to be in a position to assist
his son. He bought many Of the artist S
pictures and introduced him to several
wealthy art patrons, SO that fame and
fortune came quickly. Louis Post

Few Days Culled from the Reports.
Neillsville, Wis, June 13-An alterca-
ton between James Lowe and his wife,
who for a year past have lived quar-
relsome lives, eliminated yesterday
morning at about o'clock in what will
prove the most sensational tragedy that
has ever occurred in this city. 1t seems
a quarrel which began last Friday was
renewed yesterday morning, when 1t
was learned by Lowe that his wife was
packing a trunk, preparatory to leav-
ing him. After recriminating words he
shot her through the head and slashed
her throat with a knife.
He then turned the revolver upon
himself, firing one shot at his head, the
bullet glancing, and another through
the lower jaw, the bullet lodging some
where in the head. Mrs. Lowe, despite
her wounds, still lives, but has no hope
Of recovery. 1t is thought Lowe will re-
cover The parties are we'll known III

er and has worked for his brothers,
Thomas and James, wealthy men Of this
city, for many years. Mrs. Lowe, 1t Is
said. was once q popular actress.

Refused a Gift of $4,000.

Oshkosh, Wis, June 13.-The council
once more rejected ex-senator Sawyer's
proposition to make the upper floors Of
the new $50, 900 library building fireproof
at his own expense. A special meeting
was held Sunday night to reconsider the
offer which had already been rejected.
Sawyer made the offer at the time of
the dedication of the library, saying that
he would give $4,000 for that purpose.
When the council rejected it there was
so much Indignation over their action
that they held another meeting to re-
consider the matter Sunday night and it
again failed of acceptance.

Fair Building Destroyed.

Sheboygan. Wis, June 13.-Between Il
and 1 o'clock yesterday morning the
large exhibition building on the fair
grounds at this city was destroyed by
fire, causing a loss of $1,000 The struc-
ture stood some distance from any 9TH
er buildings and there had been no one
on the premises and the origin of the
blaze is a mystery, unless started by
tramps who might have slept in the
building. The fair grounds, which have
always been known as the Driving
park, were purchased by Henry Scheele
some time ago, who, is it understood,
had no insurance on the structure.

Washin Gton and General HOwe's Dog.

While the British occupied Philadel-
phia and the American force lay in
winter quarters at Valley Forge, one
day as Washington and his staff were
dining, a fine hunting dog, which was
evidently lost, came to seek something
to eat. On it's collar was the name.
General Howe.
Washington ordered that the dog
should be fed, and then he sent it to
Philadelphia under flag of truce, with
a letter reading: General Washing
toms compliments to General Howe.
He does himself the pleasure to return
to him a dog which accidentally fell
into his hands and by the inscription
on the collar appears to'belong to Gen
eral Howe
The British commander, in reply,
sent a cordial letter conveying his
warm thanks for this act Of courtesy OF
his enemy. Paul Leicester Ford in La
