Secretary Wilson may not be the
biggest man in the Cabinet, but he
displayed common sense when he
said: 81 am one man who believes
that the Southern man understands
the negro better than the men of the
North" Had that belief been gen
eral in the North during "recon-
struction" dxs;there would now be
no negro problem in the South.

TEN CHRISTMAS FAILURES.
New York houses that did not advertise
went down.

New YORK, Dec. 3l-Since christ
mas there have been 10 failures of
concerns that made speciality Of
goods intended for holiday presents.
Some of these concerns carried large
stocks, and were entetled to the des-
ignation "big." In one or two in
stances the stocks were valued at more
than $3.50, 900.
The noticeable thing about each Of
the collapsed concerns is that 1t did
not advertise in the newspapers.
The stores that did advertise were
crowded with customers from the COM
me ncement Of the holiday season to
the hour of closing, the night before
christmas. They all report the great
est holiday business In years.

TWO LITTLE ITEMS.
A place suggested for the new
town hall to go.

Huston 4 Domains lot on Main street
A very convenient location-Old
building TO come down and new one
to be erected-No one would object
Pavement on Front street and what
made 1t sink-Steps taken to remedy
the defect.
1t has been proposed in view of the
fact that the town now has no place
to put its fire apparatus and no home
to call its own since the school board
has warned them off their lot that
place be provided on Huston and De-
mains lot on Main street next to the
Baptist church. This would make an
ideal place for the town hall.
The old house would have to be
torn down and every man, woman and
child in the town would feel good over
it. The old eye sore has been stand
ing there until it makes everyone in
town feel tired when they look at it.
1t detracts great deal from the looks
of the street and Injuries the adjacent
property besides being a draw back to
the town in other ways.
1t is proposed to build the fire
building and town hall further back
on the lot. The front part will be
made into dwelling and the rear de-
voted the use of the town. The
dwelling part would be an ornament
to the street and no one in the vicini-
ty would object to such a move.
The town will have to have some
place to go. They cannot occupy
their present site and to move
further back is an impossibility while
they do not have the money to buy a
lot anywhere IN town that would be
at all available.
The part of the pavement that has
been sinking down on Front street
has been receiving attention. The
sinking down has been caused by a
drain which directed the water from
Peasants street directly under the
pavement which went down in con-
sequence of this.
Wagons and travel of all kind will
be kept off this part of the street and
if necessary the bricks will be taken
up and lot more sand placed under
it. The loan in the other sand that
went under it for a foundation is what
caused it to sink. When the water
touches the loan it disappears and
the brick goes down.

Mortar batteries at Fort PrebIe in q
Bad Condition.

The War Department has received from
Capt. John R. Williams an interesting re-
port regarding the mortar batteries at
Fort Preble, Maine. Captain Williams re-
port is dated April 9, at which time he
was in command of the post at that place
Since then he has been ordered to Wash
ington Barracks.
Captain Williams. in his communication,
complains of the lack of protection given
mortar batteries at Fort Preble and says
that during the winter the pits were filled
with snow several times. Men were put
to work to clean the pits out but the work
frequently occupied nearly week, and
during that time the batteries were entirely
useless. The batteries at Fort Preble are
comparatively new. There are four pits,
each containing four mcrtars and the War
Department has taken great pride in the
construction of these defences. Captain
Williams complaint is not a new one, how
ever, as there have been frequent reports
on the difficulty of protecting mortar bat
teries along the North Atlantic Coast. In
the South no such difficulty has been en-
countered, but in the North, where snow
storms prevail. it has been almost imprac-
ticabIe to devise any suitable means of
protection.
The matter has been referred to the
engineer department, and is now in the
ndHuS Oh hdJOT JO5tpu NUM- huo iido
charge of the work of the engineer de-
partment Major Kuhn is now consider
ing proposition to construct temporary
wooden roofs over the pits that would
afford sufficient protection TO the mortars
and yet be light enough to remove at any
time when necessary.
The War Department has not yet taken
any action on the report submitted by Cap
tain Crozier of his inspection of the forti-
fcations of the North Atlantic Coast, but
1t is not improbable that something Will
be done looking to an increase in the
efficiency of the artillery branch of the SER
vice. 1t is generally admitted that there
should be greater opportunity for prac-
tice in the loading and firing OF the guns
and that more inspection officers are
needed so that more frequent inspection
| can be made of the Notifications. 1t is
| stated, however that for some time past
| there have not been enough officers TO
look after this branch OF the service, and
| il is probable that the next Congress VIII
he asked to create the Office of chief in

| In connection with the inspection OF the
coast defences it is learned that Gen. John

! some important recommendations on his
return to Washington after his inspection

The elevated train was crowded when,

Miss Helen Miller Gould.
From the New York SUM-


The most popular woman in the United
States today is Miss Helen Miller Gould.
the modest, patriotic daughter of the late
Jay Gould 1t was the late war with Spain
that gave Miss Could like many other
brave American women, the opportunity to
show her true spirit. 1t is true Miss Gould
had always been distinguished for her
womanliness and her unostentatious char
ity. No one but Miss Gould will ever know
how great that charity has been, and she
is the last person in the world to tell. d..
When the war came Miss Gould's pa
triotism had a chance to assert itself. She
promptly sent to the Government officials
at Washington her check for 100000 with
which to strengthen its sinews of war.
That was only the beginning of her SER
vices From that day her time and energy
were devoted to the welfare of the soldiers
and sailors. No fund was raised for the
men in which she did not have some hand.
Her check book was open TO every move
ment for the benefit of the brave fellows
at the front and having done all that mon
ey could do she lent her own services.
Many soldier sick at Montauk camp owes
his life to the tender care of this Million
aire nurse.
When there was no further need of her
services in the hospital she turned her en-
ergies to the future welfare OF the volun-
teers who had lost their positions through
their patriotism.
When the Windsor Hotel was burned
Miss Gould's home was turned into hos
pital for the injured, and she herself
worked so hard with the sufferers that for
some time after she was on the verge OF
nervous prostration.
Miss Gould's services have not gone un-
rewarded Honors have fallen thickly
unon her The whole nation, through Con-
gress, has done her honor by ordering a
gold medal to be awarded to her. The
States of New York, Pennsylvania, and
Illinois have thanked her in legislative
resolutions. Three thousand soldiers and
sailors have written their thanks in an al
bum, priceless because of the sentiment ii
emboGSs From the veterans of the Civil
War Miss Gould has received the official
badge, while the badge of the New York
Fire Department, made in solid gold, is a
memento of the Windsor fire.
Among the other priced mementos of her
LOYAL services in Miss Gould's priceless col
lection are set of colors from the men
of the Raleigh a machete and the ac-
couterments of a Rough Rider. working
model of the battleship Iowa, great guam
tity of proiectiles used in the most IA
nous engagements of the war. and en-
crossed copies of resolutions of thanks
from almost every patriotic organization in
the country.
But what Miss Gould prizes above all OF
these is the knowledge that she occupies a
warm spot in the hearts OF every one OF
the .'men behind the guns" and of the
thousands of wives. motaers. and sisters
whose dear ones have been spared to them
| through her generosity.
