Brothers in tho Legislature.

A modern instance has come to light
where two brothers sat in the same leg
islature in Wisconsin. In the winter of
1891, Assemblyman Louis Rossman, of
Price county. represented the extensive
district including Ashland, Price, Onei-
da, Forest and Florence counties. His
brother. Assemblyman Philip Rossman,
represented Clark county. Both were
republicans. Apparently there haze
been a number Of instances in which
brothers have sat side by side in the
same legislature. 1t seems TO be true,
nevertheless, that Paul and Narcisse

A Cheap Trip to the Pacific Coast

The National Educational Association
meeting at Los Angeles, Cal, is the oc-
casion for h Southern railway to put
on the remarkably cheap rate of one
fare for the round trip (plus $500 as
ISOLATION membership fee). This, in con-
nection with the new Palace Tourist
Sleeping Cars, operated over the
Southern Railway and the Southern
Pacific, a double berth in which costs
only $500. renders possible the cheap
est and most enjoyable feature of this
trip Of h season. A particular pleas
ant feature Of this trip is that the
tickets are good going one way and re-
turning another; i. e., going via New
Orleans and returning through Salt
Lake City and Colorado; or by the
payment Of $3.50 additional, the trip
may be made returning through Port
land, Ore.
Stop over privileges are allowed at
FL Paso or any point west thereof, on
the going trip, and at any point west
Of Denver and Colorado Springs on the
return trip. By this means passengers
are afforded the opportunity of seeing
the entire Pacific Coast. Side trips are
arranged at nominal cost from Los
Angeles and San Francisco to all points
Of interest in California. Further in
formation may be obtained from any
agent or representative of the South
ern Railway, or from

THE WEATHER BUREAU
The Crop Service I'm Cuba and Porto
Rico-A Wiimfngtonfan Assistant
Section Director I'm Cuba

The weather bureau of the United
States for a number of years, as is well
known, has issued weekly and monthly
printed bulletins containing valuable
data of the weather and crop condit-
ions in the various states. These re-
ports are sent in from various loca1i-
ties by volunteer reporters, and thus
accurate information is furnished as to
h weather and the condition and prog
ress Of all kinds of growing crops.
In this country this service has
been of inestimable value, and subse-
Quent to the late war it has been ex-
tended to Porto Rico and Cuba. Mr..
W. II. Fallon, observer at the Whining
ton station, presents The Messenger
with the June bulletins from Porto
Rico and Cuba, and judging from the
thorough and excellent manner in which
they are gotten out, we ave no doubt
that the service will be of great bene-
fit to the agriculture of the islands. The
bulletins are printed in Spanish with
English translationS and contain full
reports from various stations N both
Cuba n Porto Rico. The main bu-
reau for the Cuban section is at Ha-
Vana. and is in charge Of Mr.. William
Il. Stockton, as forecast official and sec
ton director, and the assistant section
director is Mr.. Montrose w. Hayes,
formerly assistant observer at the Will
mingtOn station. He is a native OF
Charlotte and has many friends there
and in Wilmington. In Porto Rico Mr..
r. NJ. Geddings is section director and
his headquarters are at a uan
The service in Cuba and Porto Rico
is thorough and we'll regulated, al
though it has not been long establish
ed. In Cuba there are twenty regular
stations, and besides the crop service,
the main feature. that Of giving storm
warnings for the benefit of

Ak M. College

Without any purpose to disparage the
capability or availability of any other
candidate, present or prospective, for
the presidency Of the Agricultural and
Mechanical college, at Raleigh, we give
it as our opinion and feel that this
opinion is shared by a very large num-
Der of people in North Carolina that
the best results would follow the cleo
ton of DIR. George T.. Winston to the
presidency of the institution. We be-
lieve he would lift the college to a
higher plane of usefulness at home and
elevate it in the estimation of people
outside the state.
From the time of DIR. Winston's ac-
cession to the presidency we would date
a new and more prosperous epoch in
the history OF one of our most import
ant state institutions-important par
ticularly because it seeks to meet the
present and growing demand for educa-
ton that combines the theoretical and
PRACTICAL; that teaches lot only how
a thing should be done, out how to do
it; that trains both mind n muscle
and equips for the great battle of life
the battle for bread, which will grow
more stubborn unless the close listed
combines of wealth are called to a halt.
An institution with Such work IN
hand should have the strongest man
avilable at the helm. We submit that
DR.. Winston would admirably meet the
requirements Of this very important
| work.
Moreover, we would be glad to have
DR.. Winston return to North Carolina
because he is a staunch friend of popu-
lar education and his influence and
! work in behalf of education, both low
er and higher, if you please, would
prove a tower of strength to this great
cause.-Winston Sentinel.

Aldermen will, No Doubt,
Systematic and Proper >cavenSer
Work

Yesterday afternoon it was intended
that another conference of the board
Of health and sanitary committee Of
the board of aldermen should be held,
but not sufficient members attended to
justify a meeting. We understand that
the main object of these conferences
has been to AXE steps towards secur-
ing proper scavenger work in the city,
and the aldermen at their regular
monthly meeting Monday will be re-
quested to divide the city into sections
charge of zach section and who will
have to give bond for faithfulness and
efficiency. 1t can readily be seen that
this idea is a capital one, and will
make the work more systematic and
more carefully accomplished, which
will be a great protection to the city's
health.
DR.. w. D. Mcmillan, superintendent
of health, has just completed locating
on a map of the city all the surface,
sewer and wharf closets and sinks in
Wilmington. The work is very skill
fully done, and shows on what block
and at what point of the block the
closets and sinks are situated.
AS some people seem to have forgot
ten the personnel Of the board Of
health, we will state that it is compos-
ed of Mayor A. M. Waddell, chairman,
